The strikingly beautiful woman with straight black hair, possessing a powerful aura of high cold elegance, walked in from outside. All the distinguished guests present, she couldnât be bothered to glance at them, and went straight to Lin Fan.
Some people who didnât know her thought she might be the daughter of some noble family or perhaps the female CEO of some companyâit was simply extraordinary.
But those who recognized her knew that she was Mr. Linâs housekeeper, Anna!
"What? Sheâs just Mr. Linâs housekeeper?"
"Mr. Lin truly lives up to his name!"
"Damn, Mr. Lin is amazing. Whether itâs a housekeeper or an assistant, theyâre all stunning beautiesâIâm so jealous..."
Some people started whispering.
Anna came up to Lin Fan and handed him an item. Earlier today, when she delivered clothes to him, Lin Fan entrusted her with a task to retrieve this item.
Yun Cityâs Li Family returned the bid document to Lin Fan, and Lin Fan wanted to have a talk with Li Jian. He thought Li Jian might have returned it due to misunderstandings involving Li Haoming, so it was necessary to clarify the truth to Li Jian.
For this task, Lin Fan entrusted Yun Cityâs current underground boss, Li Zhen, to handle it. Before Lin Fan set off to the Song Family, Li Zhen had already collected the evidence. But given the relationship between Li Zhen and Lin Fan, Li Zhen was reluctant to deliver the evidence, so Lin Fan had Anna retrieve it.
"Mr. Lin, what is this?" Song Rongmao asked curiously.
Lin Fan replied, "This external hard drive contains the complete footage from that night, retrieved from the mallâs camera. Youâll know the truth once you watch the video. Mr. Li, would you like to watch it in front of everyone?"
Song Rongmao said, "Thatâs easy, I have a projector at my place. Letâs show everyone the truth."
Soon, the projector was set up, and the surveillance footage of that night began to play on the large screen in the hall.
In full view, the events of that night played out once again.
Lin Fan and Wei Yueâer were shopping for kitchenware in the mall when a stout young man came over with his girlfriend asking if they could let them have the kitchenware.
At this point, Li Haoming and the Internet Celebrity Face showed up on the screen; the Internet Celebrity Face started verbally abusing, enraging the stout young man. The Internet Celebrity Face was the first to hit the stout young manâs girlfriend; the stout young man retaliated, kicking the Internet Celebrity Face in the abdomen.
After that, Li Haoming stepped in to punish the stout young man, who fell to the ground and lost his ability to resist.
Next, the Internet Celebrity Face attempted to strike Wei Yueâer but was subdued by Lin FanâLi Haoming rushed forward attempting to rescue the Internet Celebrity Face, only to be kicked flying by Lin Fan.
After watching the surveillance, everyone knew it was the Internet Celebrity Face who started the trouble and was also the first to take action.
Lin Fan looked at Li Jian: "Mr. Li, you now understand, the stout young man was merely a stranger we bumped into, not as you said, one of my people. His actions have nothing to do with me, I am not responsible. As for your daughter-in-law being hit, she brought it upon herself."
Li Jian was stunned; the facts indeed differed from what Li Haoming claimed. Surveillance doesnât lie, but it seems his son does deceive him.
This is embarrassing.
Song Rongmao chuckled: "Brother Li Jian, it seems there is indeed a misunderstanding here. Mr. Lin is innocent. No matter why your daughter-in-law was hit, it is certain that it is unrelated to Mr. Lin. Since it is a misunderstanding, itâs easily resolved."
Lin Fan smiled, "I intended to explain this privately to Mr. Li to avoid any awkwardness. But Mr. Li insisted on discussing it publicly, I had no choice."
Li Jian was being utterly dishonorable, attempting to use this incident to ruin Lin Fanâs reputation, only to end up being publicly humiliated by the surveillance video. He deserved it.
Li Jian snorted: "Lin Fan, how dare you say my daughter-in-law wasnât pregnant? What sort of scheme are you plotting?"
Lin Fan sighed, "Concerning this matter, I advise Mr. Li to discuss it privately with me. Speaking about it publicly might cause Mr. Li even more embarrassment."
Lin Fan didnât mind hitting Li Jian in the face with the truth but still wished to leave him some dignity, considering he was looking to buy land from him.
Li Jian said, "Donât even think about playing any tricks. Whatever it is, say it in front of everyone. I refuse to believe my daughter-in-lawâs pregnancy is false!"
Li Jian was very confident; this matter could not be fake. His son Li Haoming proceeded with marriage due to the Internet Celebrity Faceâs pregnancy. If not for the pregnancy, he wouldnât let them marry. He couldnât believe his son would deceive him about such a matter.
Lin Fan had no choice and said, "Alright, Iâll say it publicly. Your daughter-in-law is not pregnant; she pretended to be, and your Li Family was tricked into marriage by this woman."
What?
Everyone was shocked.
The dignified Yun Cityâs Li Family was tricked into marriage?
If this were true, the Li Family would become a laughingstock, utterly disgracing themselves.
"No way, this happened!"
"What a bombshell; this is the true secret of the upper class."
"The mighty Yun Cityâs Li Family, tricked into marriageâtruly embarrassing."
Everyone was buzzing with discussion.
Upon hearing these debates, Li Jian was about to explode with anger: "Lin Fan, boy! Youâre spewing nonsense here. Is this to retaliate against me for not selling land to you? Youâre malicious!"
Lin Fan was a bit helpless, "How am I malicious? Wasnât it you who insisted I explain publicly? Iâm merely stating the truth."
At this moment, Wang Hailin said, "I have a question, purely out of curiosity. I hope Mr. Lin can answer it. How does Mr. Lin know that the Li Familyâs daughter-in-law is faking her pregnancy? Arenât you unfamiliar with her?"
Everyone turned to Lin Fan. It truly was a crucial question, how did Lin Fan know?
Wang Hailin had impeccable timing in jumping into the conversation.
Lin Fan replied, "The question is simple. I saw it."
Saw it? Everyone exchanged confused glancesâthe answer sounded quite unreliable.
Wang Hailin said, "Mr. Lin, do you mean you also possess medical skills?"
Li Jian scoffed, "Lin Fan, doesnât your explanation embarrass you? You saw itâdo you think youâre a miracle doctor?"
Lin Fan smiled, "I do know a bit about medical skills. Seeing through it is not surprising; traditional Chinese medicineâs fundamental techniques involve observing, listening, asking, and feeling. Mr. Wang, by looking at your complexion, youâve recently been suffering from insomnia, often sweating profusely, feeling palpitations, weakness, and even struggling to get out of bed. Medicine hasnât helped much. Am I right?"
Wang Hailin was stunned. It indeed was like that. How did Lin Fan know? It was as if he squatted by his bed.
He couldnât help but ask, "Thatâs correct. Mr. Lin, could you help me figure out whatâs going on?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Itâs because Old Wang, youâve exhausted yourself over the years. Your health was depleted by beauties. In simple terms, youâre suffering from kidney deficiency. At your age, you have to accept it, cut back on effort, and take medicine to restore your health. Over time, it will naturally improve."
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, everyone couldnât help but laugh softly.
Wang Hailin blushed with embarrassment, gave a forced smile, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, you truly are something!"
Li Jian was unconvinced, "Even if you possess medical skills, it doesnât prove youâre correct in your judgment. Thereâs an authoritative examination report on whether my daughter-in-law is pregnant!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Thereâs no need to rush, speaking of examination reports, the next is the main point."
