Leaving the old city district, Lin Fan hailed a taxi and sent Wu Da back to the club.
Now only Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er were left.
"I never expected Uncle Da to have such a complicated past. He was really unfortunate back in those days, it was just a disaster falling from the sky," Wei Yue'er lanted.
Lin Fan chuckled, "A disaster falling from the sky? I don't think so."
Wei Yue'er exclaid in surprise, "You still suspect that soone deliberately broke Uncle Da's leg?"
Lin Fan replied, "Outstanding people tend to attract jealousy and take away others' opportunities, so inherently they are in danger. Regarding what happened to Uncle Da back then, whether it was an accident or soone intent on harming him, it's necessary to investigate."
As he spoke, Lin Fan took out his cellphone and dialed a number.
"Brother Zhen, it's ," Lin Fan said.
On the other end of the line was Li Zhen, the current leader of Yun City's underground world!
Of course, Li Zhen was only the nominal leader; only a few knew that Li Zhen worked for Lin Fan.
"Brother Fan, is there anything you need?" Li Zhen said, very seriously. His tone indicated that he was definitely standing straight, not daring to slack off in the least.
Lin Fan said, "Yes, I'd like you to investigate sothing. I have a friend whose leg was broken by a group of thugs thirty years ago..."
After giving his instructions, Lin Fan hung up the phone.
Li Zhen assured Lin Fan he'd get results as soon as possible.
Wei Yue'er was curious about who Lin Fan had called earlier, but she didn't ask. She knew Lin Fan must have his ways.
If the events surrounding Wu Da back then truly had another truth, then it was very necessary to get to the bottom of it.
"Alright, that's it for now. We've had supper already. It's getting late, ti to go ho and rest," Lin Fan said, tucking the phone into his pants pocket with a smile.
"Hmm..." Wei Yue'er nodded. If possible, she really didn't want to part from Lin Fan. If only...
She didn't know what she suddenly thought of, but her face inexplicably reddened.
Lin Fan said, "It's not safe at night, I'll take you ho. There's a tro station up ahead; we can take the subway."
Wei Yue'er agreed happily, and they headed to the tro station in front, joining the stream of people entering.
At this hour, it was the peak ti for office workers leaving work; the subway was quite crowded. Various passengers had faces marked by fatigue; most were part of the 996 culture.
The so-called 996 ans working from nine in the morning until nine at night, six days a week. This kind of work regi is hard not to be tiring.
But actually, 996 isn't the worst. So factory workers have scheduled shifts from eight in the morning until eight at night and still have to do overti, working all seven days in a week.
Working people really don't make money easily.
The crowd was so dense that they were practically pushed onto the subway by the throng.
Several n, upon seeing Wei Yue'er was a beauty, deliberately sidled up to try and get closer. It's not necessarily malicious intent from these n, just that since it's the subway, being squeezed next to a beauty is better than being squeezed next to a sweaty slly guy.
Lin Fan cleverly pulled Wei Yue'er aside, guiding her to the inside against the car wall, using his body to shield her, creating a small safe space for her, ensuring no one could squeeze next to her.
Lin Fan's action to protect Wei Yue'er was instinctive, but the posture was inevitably sowhat ambiguous. The two faced each other, almost pressed together.
Wei Yue'er could even feel Lin Fan's heartbeat, feeling that he was really strong, giving her a full sense of security and a feeling of happiness.
Wei Yue'er was in a swirl of thoughts, her face growing redder, forcing her to bow her head to avoid being seen by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er, a handso man and a beautiful woman, attracted the eyes of those around them, the crowd unsure of whom to envy more.
Jealousy was distinctly divided; the females envied Wei Yue'er for having a man protecting her like that, longing for a handso man like Lin Fan to shield them with strong arms.
The n looked at Lin Fan, eyes red with envy. That guy dressed plainly, obviously was poor, and like them squeezing into the subway, yet why did he have such a beautiful girlfriend?
Everyone's feelings grew complicated.
Lin Fan didn't pay attention to others, as the subway moved forward, people constantly squeezed in on him. He remained silent, it's inevitable for the subway to be crowded, mutual understanding is needed. He just needed to make sure no one harassed Wei Yue'er, as for him, being a tough guy, getting shoved around is nothing.
Just then, the subway arrived at a station, letting out a batch of people and taking on a new batch.
It was another wave of people squeezing against people.
The train doors closed and the subway moved forward, but at this mont, sounds of quarrelling ca from nearby.
"Damn! Can you move the hell away? You're squeezing !" a female scread.
This was a young woman with blonde hair, speaking with a disgusted look, glowering at two middle-aged n, one thin, one fat.
The thin man quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, it was unintentional, really sorry."
The fat man chuckled, "Miss, everyone was rushing to get on, didn't notice. Mutual understanding, sorry."
The attitudes of both n were quite good.
However, the blond lady was unwilling to let it go, cursing, "Stupid n, just want to take advantage, huh. You're unlucky to bump into , I won't take your shit for nothing! Think I'm easy to bully?"
Beside the blond lady was a sturdy young man, seemingly her boyfriend, glaring at the two middle-aged n with hostility.
"Pigs wanting to eat swan at!" the sturdy young man sneered.
The thin man and the fat man exchanged looks, showing a helpless expression, tacitly deciding not to stoop to their level, letting them vent.
But their silence emboldened the couple to beco even more arrogant.
"What's this, stupid n, feeling guilty, huh? Not brave enough to talk back! Cursed bad luck, it's so annoying, I really hate taking the subway!" the blond lady rolled her eyes.
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, feeling she's such a noble person, having to squeeze with these sleazy n just degrades her.
"I've told you to buy a car sooner, I don't care, you must buy a car this month!" the blond lady said to the sturdy young man, her tone irrefutably urging.
The sturdy young man clearly didn't want to buy a car, mostly due to financial trouble. He also got angry, blaming these two middle-aged n. If it weren't for them touching his girlfriend, she wouldn't be urging him to buy a car.
This anger had to be directed at the two middle-aged n!
"Are you blind, didn't you see the woman? You just kept squeezing, or you were downright taking advantage!" The sturdy young man glared at the thin man, scolded.
The thin man's patience was also with its limits, he couldn't help but say, "That's enough, I didn't an to, and I apologized too. Don't push your luck!"
"What if I'm pushing my luck? Are you gonna confront or what? I think you deserve a beating!" The sturdy young man cursed, reaching out to hit the thin man's face.
