Chapter 392: Ambush

"Little Fan, still up so late? Why are you suddenly interested in the Yun City Wei Family’s project?"

On the other end of the phone, Feng Ruolan’s gentle laughter echoed.

"Well... because of a friend, I’m just helping out." Lin Fan replied. He didn’t tell Feng Ruolan about his marriage to Wei Qingxue; it was too sudden, and he was afraid of scaring Feng Ruolan.

Moreover, he and Wei Qingxue were just in a fake marriage, akin to a task, nothing worth mentioning.

Feng Ruolan casually said, "Alright, I’ll arrange someone to look into the situation regarding the Wei Family’s project in Hang City tomorrow and let you know as soon as we have news."

The call quickly ended.

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, Lin Fan got up, ready to go to work.

Wei Qingxue said, "Lin Fan, could you give me a ride to the entrance of the community? I want to buy breakfast."

At this time, Wei Dazong and Li Xueyan were sitting in the living room.

Li Xueyan said disgustedly, "Xiaoxue, can’t you just walk? Why do you have to ride with him? It’s so embarrassing if someone sees you!"

Wei Qingxue responded, "What’s wrong with riding my own husband’s car?"

Li Xueyan was furious, "He rides a crappy electric bike. It’s so embarrassing. If you don’t mind, I do. Do you know that our family has become the joke of the entire community because of him?"

Wei Qingxue ignored Li Xueyan and said, "Lin Fan, let’s go."

Then she left with Lin Fan.

At the community entrance, there was a luxury car parked—a Ferrari supercar worth 20 million.

Ma Jialiang, the son of the Ma Family, holding a bouquet of flowers, was waiting.

Seeing Wei Qingxue come out, Ma Jialiang immediately waved, "Little Sister Qingxue, over here."

Lin Fan had already noticed Ma Jialiang and suddenly accelerated. The electric bike seemed out of control and sped straight toward Ma Jialiang.

Ma Jialiang was scared out of his wits, quickly dodging aside, embarrassingly dropping the flowers.

Lin Fan skillfully stopped the bike.

"You little brat, are you trying to kill someone!" Ma Jialiang cursed furiously.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Didn’t Young Master Ma call us over? I got too excited, and my speed increased. Young Master Ma, why are you coming to see my wife so early?"

Ma Jialiang looked closely at Lin Fan, surprised and somewhat puzzled. Didn’t the people he hired yesterday tell him they would teach Lin Fan a lesson? Why does this guy seem perfectly fine?

He thought Lin Fan was beaten up last night and was in high spirits. He specifically bought flowers today, intending to ask Wei Qingxue out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fan was perfectly fine, contrary to his imagination of Lin Fan being bedridden from the beating. Instead, Ma Jialiang almost got hit by Lin Fan.

This guy must have done it on purpose!

Ma Jialiang felt both angry and frustrated.

"I’m here to see Little Sister Qingxue—what’s it to you?" Ma Jialiang said disdainfully.

Lin Fan said, "If I have designs on your mother, would it be none of your business?"

Ma Jialiang was furious, "What did you say? The social bottom tier will always be the social bottom tier, with such low class!"

Lin Fan responded, "Why is that? You’re allowed to have designs on my wife, but I’m not allowed to have designs on your mother?"

Ma Jialiang pointed at Lin Fan, "You brat, remember what you said today. I won’t let you off!"

Wei Qingxue said coldly, "What are you coming to find me for?"

Ma Jialiang immediately put on a flattering smile, "Little Sister Qingxue, would you be available for lunch with me? I booked the best French restaurant in Yun City. Their steak is especially famous but limited. Generally, it’s hard to book, but I managed through my dad’s connections. Let’s go taste it together?"

Ma Jialiang’s tone carried a hint of bragging, flaunting his dad’s connections which let him enjoy something others couldn’t.

Wei Qingxue directly said, "Sorry, I’m not free. You go eat by yourself."

Ma Jialiang laughed awkwardly, "Little Sister Qingxue, I heard you were fired and currently unemployed. You should have plenty of time. How could you not be free?"

Wei Qingxue frowned, "Are you mocking me for being unemployed?"

Ma Jialiang hurriedly replied, "No, how could I mock Little Sister Qingxue? Please don’t misunderstand."

Lin Fan chuckled, "Young Master Ma seems incapable of understanding human speech, doesn’t he? ’Not free’ means not wanting to go with you. You should be sensible and leave."

Ma Jialiang’s face turned slightly red, "Little Sister Qingxue, I just wanted to ask you for a meal, nothing else."

Wei Qingxue said, "I mean nothing else either. I won’t go with you. Lin Fan, I just remembered there’s noodles at home; I won’t buy breakfast. I’m going back to cook noodles."

Wei Qingxue then got off the bike and returned to the community; she didn’t want Ma Jialiang to pester her.

Ma Jialiang dared not stop her, just watching Wei Qingxue walk away.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Young Master Ma, give up on this; she’s my wife."

After saying that, Lin Fan also rode his electric bike off.

Ma Jialiang was furious, seeing the flowers on the ground, he stomped on them a few times, gritting his teeth, "All because of this Lin Fan! If it wasn’t for him, how could Little Sister Qingxue treat me like this!"

He couldn’t stand it, immediately dialing, questioning, "What’s going on? Weren’t you going to teach Lin Fan a lesson last night? How is he still unscathed?"

"What? Your guys saw Lin Fan make a move? He’s that formidable? I don’t care, if I don’t beat him up, I can’t swallow this anger!"

"Then find me an expert, I refuse to believe this delivery boy is invincible! Beat him into a pulp and send me photos!"

Ma Jialiang shouted.

That afternoon, outside the community, in a secluded corner, a group quietly approached, hiding among flower beds.

Leading them was a burly man with a scar, looking quite tough.

"Big brother, are you sure that guy lives in there? Isn’t he a delivery man?" a man asked deeply.

The scarred man replied, "No mistake, damn it, I lick blood off my blade daily, and I can’t afford a house, yet this guy lives in a high-end community!"

The scarred man’s face was full of envy and jealousy.

He’s already in his forties, still a thug with no hope of buying a house or even a toilet in this lifetime.

The others, hearing this, were indignant, "Why him!"

The scarred man said, "This guy is useless, but he’s lucky with women and became a son-in-law of the Wei Family."

Everyone giggled.

"Turns out he’s a kept man!"

"Damn it, if only I could marry a rich lady, being kept wouldn’t matter!"

"All the benefits this guy gets, it’s infuriating. Later, I’ll definitely punch him a few more times."

The scarred man reminded them, "Fight, but don’t kill him. We just need to teach him a lesson."

One man asked, "Big brother, should we go in now?"

The scarred man replied, "No need to go in. This is the only way; this guy will pass here after work. We’ll wait and act when him comes back."

So, the group waited.

Shortly after, Lin Fan came back leisurely on his electric bike.
