Chapter 112: Nothing Would Please Him More Than to Be Rid of It!

But Lin Fan quickly forced himself to calm down and immediately exchanged for the Golden Armor item in the store.

Once the item took effect, he was no longer gripped by fear.

After Zhong Xingnan finished speaking, the relaxed, untroubled look returned to Lin Fan’s face.

“I never expected you to be bold enough to come kill me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll send you to meet King Yama?” Lin Fan said with a disdainful smile, his tone utterly calm.

That only made Zhong Xingnan even more furious.

He pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against Lin Fan’s forehead and shouted, “You still dare laugh? Don’t you know what I’m holding? This is a gun! A loaded gun! One pull of the trigger and you’re dead!”

Just then, the system finally sounded its notification.

A strong murderous intent from Zhong Xingnan toward the host has been detected. Revenge mission 3.0 has been triggered.

Cripple Zhong Xingnan and leave him permanently paralyzed. Reward: one copy of the Secret Manual of Misaligned Tendons and Dislocated Bones. Reward: five attribute points.

Acquire Zhongyi Group and bring the Zhong family down. Reward: one hundred million in national currency. Reward: ten points to all attributes.

“Bring the Zhong family down? That mission sounds a little difficult.”

Seeing the new mission issued by the system, Lin Fan felt that the difficulty was rather high.

After all, the Zhong family was one of Su City’s top elite clans. He alone could not make them collapse.

If it were a small company, he could settle it with fists or money, but against a behemoth like the Zhong family, only someone with truly overwhelming power could do it.

Of course, he also considered using the connections and resources of Su Hanmo and Wang Silai to complete the mission.

But if he asked the two of them for help, he would certainly have to pay the corresponding price.

Businesspeople always weighed profit. For something this big, they would never help him for nothing.

He understood that principle well enough.

Still, he accepted the mission without hesitation. First, Zhong Xingnan had nearly scared him to death. Second, since that bastard wanted to kill him, he would never show mercy again.

By now, he could at least be considered a man with some backing. After investing those thirty billion, he was no longer just an ordinary person in a sense; he had become a dragon among men.

He was someone who could stand on equal footing with super-rich heirs like Wang Silai and Su Hanmo.

Even if he killed Zhong Xingnan now, he would not go to prison.

Power could move heaven and earth.

As a favored guest of the Wang family, becoming the king of Hang City was only a matter of time.

“Why should I be afraid? Go ahead and try firing that gun...”

Zhong Xingnan was even more enraged.

“What, you’re still acting tough?” he snarled.

Lin Fan’s expression did not change. With a faint sneer, he looked at Zhong Xingnan as if he were an idiot.

Yet the calmer he seemed, the more infuriated Zhong Xingnan became.

Damn it, I’ve got a gun pointed at your head and you’re not scared at all? You’re clearly not taking me seriously!

Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered two days ago, the killing intent in Zhong Xingnan’s heart grew even stronger.

These past two days had left him practically penniless, knocked all the way back to square one.

After he had crawled out of the restaurant in public two days ago, he had planned to bide his time and take revenge on Lin Fan. But that very night, he received a call from his father, Zhong Lifa, who directly froze his bank cards, leaving him with money he could not even spend.

Fortunately, two disreputable friends had supported him for a while. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, until he finally decided to fight Lin Fan to the death.

Only after Wang Silai left did he dare to make his move. He had someone buy a handgun, then had one of a friend’s girlfriends disguise herself as a hotel employee and call Lin Fan to lure him out.

“Damn it! You really know how to put on an act. If Young Master Wang weren’t here, do you think you’d still be able to bully people with your backing and act all high and mighty?”

Zhong Xingnan cursed furiously on the spot.

“Backed by someone? Heh...”

Lin Fan gave a strange laugh.

“Even if Young Master Wang weren’t here, I could still handle you. I never relied on Young Master Wang. You were the one who insisted on provoking me. From the start, I warned you that I knew them; I just wanted you to stop looking for trouble for no reason...”

Before he could finish, Zhong Xingnan had already lost his patience.

“Enough nonsense! You have only one way out now. Hand over every cent on you, and I’ll let you live.”

At that, Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

So this bastard wanted both his money and his life. In that case, he definitely could not be allowed to leave here unharmed.

The next second, Lin Fan struck first.

In a flash, he suddenly reached out and seized Zhong Xingnan’s right wrist, twisting it sharply.

Crack!

A scream rang out, and Zhong Xingnan dropped to his knees on the spot.

But the retaliation had only just begun.

Immediately after, Lin Fan’s fists fell on Zhong Xingnan like a torrential downpour.

No matter how desperately Zhong Xingnan begged for mercy, Lin Fan showed no intention of stopping. He vented the fury he had been suppressing these past few days directly onto Zhong Xingnan.

Only when Zhong Xingnan finally stopped begging and fell silent did Lin Fan stop.

By then, Zhong Xingnan had been beaten beyond recognition, his face covered in blood, his chest caved in, all four limbs broken, his whole body reduced to a barely breathing state. He looked as though he could stop breathing at any moment, a pitiful, ghastly sight.

Lin Fan had been following the system’s requirement all along, beating Zhong Xingnan into permanent paralysis.

He had also expected that this would bring him a great deal of trouble.

But he did not regret it. Even if he beat this piece of human filth to death, there would still be people applauding him for it.

Mission half complete. Reward: five attribute points.

The system even thoughtfully reminded him not to rush into spending those five points elsewhere. After the second-tier store opened and he learned internal energy and other ancient martial arts techniques, he could quickly complete skill upgrades.

“If I had known this guy didn’t dare shoot, I wouldn’t have wasted one hundred thousand wealth points for nothing.”

Looking at Zhong Xingnan lying on the floor, life and death uncertain, Lin Fan not only felt no regret, he even felt a little pity.

His wealth points had already accumulated to three point one billion, and one hundred thousand was only a trivial amount.

He had only exchanged for the Golden Armor item at the last second as a precautionary measure.

He never expected Zhong Xingnan to talk so much nonsense and give him time to react.

If Zhong Xingnan had fired the instant the door opened, the one going to meet King Yama might well have been him.

After that, Lin Fan immediately contacted the hotel manager and had security throw Zhong Xingnan out.

Then he called Wang Silai and informed him that Zhong Xingnan had come to kill him with a gun.

But after hearing that Lin Fan had beaten Zhong Xingnan into a cripple, Wang Silai fell silent for a moment. He had not expected Lin Fan to be so ruthless.

At this point, they could only hope Zhong Lifa would not choose to take revenge on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had already made up his mind as well: if Zhong Lifa came looking for him to settle accounts, then he would bring the Zhong family down.

Wang Silai did not object to that either.

By now, Lin Fan was the Wang family’s benefactor. Even Wang Silai had to treat him with some respect, and he could only try to persuade Zhong Lifa.

Soon, the hotel manager arrived at the top floor with security and, without another word, carried the unconscious Zhong Xingnan away from the scene.

The next morning.

While Lin Fan, Zhang Yi, and Su Hanmo were having the time of their lives in Yazhou, Zhong Xingnan, who had already been diagnosed by doctors as fully paralyzed, was sent back to Su City.

At Su City First Hospital, Zhong Lifa stood by the bedside staring silently at Zhong Xingnan, while his wife beside him beat his chest with her fists and wailed in grief.
