A very clever way to handle the situation: retreat, observe quietly, and stay detached.

After all, he knew Huang Hanxiong’s character well—there was no way he would let Lin Fan off easily. If he tried to protect Lin Fan now and dragged the Su family into it, that would be utterly foolish.

But unexpectedly, Su Mingxuan and Su Qianlong were displeased.

“Grandpa! Old Master Huang came expressly to our house, hoping you would take charge of the matter. We can’t just shirk responsibility. I have a solution...” Su Qianlong was the first to jump in, stirring the pot.

Su Yan'en glanced at him coolly, a hint of disdain flickering in his eyes.

Clearly, he could have pinned this entirely on Lin Fan, but this foolish grandson was lazy enough to drag the Su family into it. It was as if he was deliberately trying to implicate him.

“What’s your idea?” Huang Hanxiong asked, puzzled.

“Since that reckless fellow injured Lord Lei, Old Master Huang can invite a few experts for a life-or-death duel with him! If he wins, the other suffers paralysis and lifelong disability. That way, we don’t lose face either,” Su Qianlong said with a fake smile.

Hearing this, Lin Fan cursed silently in his heart. Su Qianlong was indeed a cunning schemer, still thinking of killing with a borrowed knife at this moment!

Though Lin Fan also wanted to cripple Su Qianlong, now was not the time to act.

He had to wait until Su Mingxuan and his brother fully cornered him—that would be the moment to strike back.

Although he possessed evidence against Su Qianlong, it was far from sufficient.

The crucial figure was Su Mingxuan.

Su Mingxuan had replaced Su Tuanmo as CEO of the Su Group, but Lin Fan had yet to gather concrete evidence against him. It was not yet time to bring down the two brothers.

“This idea is good! But I didn’t bring anyone today. How about borrowing your Su family’s security team? The Huang family doesn’t have one—just a bunch of thugs,” Huang Hanxiong said, giving a thumbs-up and smiling as if impressed.

He certainly saw through Su Qianlong’s plan, but he would never let his own experts be used as a test.

Since Su Qianlong wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, Huang Hanxiong would grant his wish.

This pleased Su Qianlong greatly. Without consulting Su Yan'en, he immediately pulled out his phone and called the security team to gather.

At this moment, Su Tuanmo could no longer stand it and stood up.

“Su Qianlong, what do you mean? Lin Fan is my friend. You dare send the Su family security team to duel him to the death? What are you trying to do?”

Su Qianlong paused, then chuckled lightly.

“Sis, why so anxious? If Lin Fan breaks my leg, what will you do then?”

Su Tuanmo was silenced by his sharp retort.

Seeing her at a loss for words, Su Qianlong sneered.

“This guy is already acting brazenly, even riding on Old Master Huang’s coattails. Soon enough, he’ll bully the Su family too, won’t he?”

“Why do our noble families stand firm? Because we follow the jungle law of ‘a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.’ We cannot allow those who threaten us to run rampant! He dares oppress the Huang family today; tomorrow he’ll swallow the Su family whole.”

“I’m even wondering why he gave you company shares and made you manager—could it be a deal between you two? That when the Su family weakens, he’ll take it over?”

“Stop talking nonsense—making things up!” Su Tuanmo glared at him angrily, furious and itching to tear Su Qianlong’s mouth apart on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but retort sharply.

“Enough of your nonsense! If you want a duel, then hurry up and stop whining like a woman. What kind of behavior is that?”

“Everyone, see? He’s so arrogant. Who knows if he’ll threaten our Su family in the future! Grandpa, you wouldn’t want a ticking time bomb by your side, would you?” Su Qianlong sneered at Lin Fan, dripping with sarcasm.

Su Yan'en remained silent, unwilling to get involved.

He’d rather be mute than meddle.

Especially after hearing Su Qianlong suggest using their own security team against Lin Fan, he knew Su Qianlong harbored sinister intentions.

If he spoke now to protect Lin Fan, Huang Hanxiong would continue to make things difficult.

So he let Su Qianlong bear the consequences himself.

Besides, he had already learned from Su Tuanmo that Lin Fan’s martial arts were formidable, so much so that even their security team experts didn’t know how to contend with him.

Watching Su Yan'en sipping tea leisurely as if nothing were amiss, Lin Fan glanced at Su Tuanmo and, after a moment’s thought, understood why Su Yan'en remained silent.

This old fox was playing a counter-strategy.

Sure enough, everything was under his control.

Soon, several external experts from the Su family security team appeared on the lawn.

Among them was the bald man Lin Fan had encountered before.

The bald man stared at Lin Fan for two seconds in surprise.

But Su Qianlong didn’t choose the bald man; instead, he picked the three strongest experts to confront Lin Fan.

“I hear you’re good at kung fu, claiming you can take on ten at once... Don’t say I’m bullying you. I’m letting these three fight you in a duel. Do you dare accept? If not, surrender and choose the second way to resolve this.”

“The second way is to hand over all your assets as compensation to the Huang family!” Su Qianlong crossed his arms, a cruel smile on his lips, smugly humming.

Lin Fan stared at him silently, thinking.

This guy was exhausting every means to seize his assets—planting spies, sending twins, instigating Chen Wei... Of all the Su family, he was the most scheming. Yet he didn’t seem smart enough to carry out so many conspiracies alone—probably Su Mingxuan was pulling strings behind the scenes.

Perhaps the two brothers even conspired with Chen Yanzi or the Huang family.

At this thought, Lin Fan glanced subtly at Huang Hanxiong.

His intuition told him Huang Hanxiong knew some inside story—either secretly colluding with the brothers or being used as a pawn.

Still, Su Qianlong’s provocation was effective.

If Lin Fan refused, it meant handing over all his assets.

If he accepted the duel, he would die a miserable death.

Of course, that was Su Qianlong’s perspective.

From Lin Fan’s viewpoint, even if all the Su family security experts attacked him together, they might not be a match.

Because he was no longer the same.

After refining his body and mind, though his physical strength hadn’t changed, he had cultivated far stronger internal energy techniques, completely overpowering external experts.

“I accept the duel! But I have one condition: if I severely injure any of the three, you will bear the consequences!” Lin Fan pointed fiercely at Su Qianlong, full of confidence.

Su Qianlong’s expression instantly darkened.

“I’ll take responsibility, I’ll take responsibility!” he snapped.

Then he turned to the three experts.

“Don’t hold back. If he broke Lord Lei’s leg, you break his leg the same way...”

He added coldly, “If someone dies, I’ll take responsibility!”
