Chapter 445: Your Words Truly Hurt

The scene was silent. Everyone was in shock.

Mr. Li, regaining his senses, roared, "Kill him..."

Three bodyguards charged towards Lin Fan.

The bald bodyguard was stunned. He hadn't expected Li Xu to be exploded into nothingness right before their eyes. It was simply outrageous.

These three bodyguards looked young, but they possessed ageless faces, a result of various scientific enhancements, making them half-human, half-biological monsters.

Through normal cultivation, how could one reach such a level?

Just as they approached, Lin Fan, who had been comforting the grieving couples, calmly turned around and swatted at them with a single palm.

One palm sent each of them flying. It seemed like an ordinary technique, yet they couldn't resist it.

The bald man and the two bodyguards with multicolored hair were all swatted away. Their bodies spun in the air, and upon landing, they rolled uncontrollably until their backs crashed into the surrounding wall. With a loud boom, the wall shook, cracks appearing on its surface, as they each coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Huh?"

Lin Fan looked down and saw a meter-tall figure punching at his knee.

Due to his height, he hadn't been hit by Lin Fan's palm.

Lin Fan smiled.

The short man's expression was one of shock. He looked at his companions, clearly not expecting this outcome. For him, this situation was beyond comprehension.

How could they have been defeated so quickly?

No matter who it was, in front of Lin Fan, everyone was equal. No one was superior.

Lin Fan squatted down, leveling himself with the short man, and reached out to pat his head. With a caring look, he said, "Heaven is unfair, but people are fair. Your shortness is likely heaven's favoritism towards others, but you can grow into someone everyone likes, just like me and Old Zhang. However, you're not friendly, even a bit bad. I hope you can change for the better in the future."

He raised his hand!

The short man's body spun, just like the other two, crashing into the wall. He steadied himself and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mr. Li's three strongest bodyguards were dealt with in the blink of an eye. It could only be said that everything was reasonable and justified.

"Good, well done!"

Xu Zihao was thrilled. He also wanted to kill Li Xu, but even if Li Xu stood before him, he might not dare to use his sword. He was the son of the Xia Du department chief, and even if Li Xu was a beast, he had a grandfather with a powerful background. If he truly killed him, it would be difficult for anyone to protect him. Even the son of the special department's headquarters chief would be the same.

The three grieving couples recovered from their shock.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

No one knew the immense pressure they were under. Ordinary citizens facing powerful figures like Li Xu felt like they had a mountain pressing down on them. Especially the couple who lost their daughter, their emotions were extremely agitated, and they wished they could kneel before Lin Fan and offer to serve him.

Lin Fan said, "No need to thank me. I hope you can overcome your grief and bravely face the future."

In the past, Lin Fan would smile at everyone he met.

But he didn't do so now.

A smile now would only make them feel uncomfortable.

If Director Hao knew Lin Fan's true inner thoughts, he would definitely exclaim...

"Lin Fan, when did you recover? Could it be that all this time, it was me who was sick, thinking you were psychiatric patients?"

At this moment, Mr. Li, leaning on his cane, his eyes wide, took out his phone and roared, "You dare to kill someone in broad daylight! You're courting death! No matter what abilities you have, what background you possess, you will not escape death!"

"Hao Ren, I won't let you off either!"

Anyone targeted by such a powerful figure would definitely be scared sleepless at night, their liver and gallbladder trembling in fear.

But our Director Hao remained calm, even with a hint of a smile. As the director of the Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, he possessed a high level of education and morality.

He didn't mock the other party, but instead spoke to Mr. Li calmly and peacefully.

Director Hao said, "Mr. Li, please calm down. I have something to tell you, something important to you, related to your future situation. Perhaps you don't want to hear it, but I still want to tell you."

"Humph, calm down? He killed my grandson, and you want me to calm down? I swear I won't rest until you pay the price! Or is the law unable to punish you?" Mr. Li roared. For someone of his status to still talk about the law was somewhat comical, but there was no other way. The incident happened in broad daylight, witnessed by many. It would be difficult to conceal.

The things his grandson did were all done in secret. Even if the bodies were thrown onto the streets and discovered, and someone pursued responsibility, no one would dare to trace it back to him.

Because an invisible force could control everything, obstructing anyone's investigation.

He just hadn't expected Xu Zihao to discover it.

Xu Zihao wasn't an ordinary person.

With his involvement, the matter became complicated, leading to the current situation.

Director Hao said, "Mr. Li, do you know who he is?"

Mr. Li coldly replied, "It doesn't matter who he is. He killed my grandson, and no one in this world dares to protect him."

Director Hao, as if he knew the other party would say this, calmly replied, "His name is Lin Fan. You should have seen him, and heard this name. Even if you take this matter to the heavens, the heavens wouldn't dare to interfere."

Lin Fan?

The furious Mr. Li, upon hearing this name, felt a sense of familiarity. Then, he carefully looked at the other person's face.

His heart skipped a beat.

Many images flashed through his mind.

His expression gradually turned grave.

Impossible, right?

If it were truly the case, it would be a disaster for him.

Xu Zihao laughed loudly, "Ridiculous! You still want revenge? Do you know who he is? Why don't you go out and ask around? The reason we can survive against evil creatures and the Starry Sky Clan is because of him. Even if you called the most powerful person in this world, they wouldn't dare to say such words in front of Lin Fan."

"Haha."

"Your beast of a grandson brought this upon himself. No one else is to blame."

Director Hao spoke euphemistically to Mr. Li.

The meaning was clear.

The words you just said were merely wishful thinking, impossible to realize. Accept it sooner rather than later.

But Xu Zihao was very blunt.

He struck directly at Mr. Li's heart, shattering all his pride.

Lin Fan walked up to Mr. Li. "Your grandson was very bad. I helped you solve the problem. You don't need to thank me, nor do you need to say anything. I know you're heartbroken, but some things are just like this. I hope you can understand."

Mr. Li stared grimly at Lin Fan. He hadn't expected the other party to walk up to him and say these infuriating words. But he held back, only staring intently at him, as if saying... very good, very good indeed.

"I hope you can turn over a new leaf."

Lin Fan turned to leave, then, as if remembering something, turned back and said these words.

He went to Old Zhang's side.

"Exploded him."

"Yes, I saw it. Truly amazing."

"You were right. It's good to explode people like that, otherwise more people would be harmed."

"Exactly. I always trust your decisions."

"I trust yours too."

They conversed quietly, saying things that would frighten others.

But to them, this was justice.

Director Hao said, "Mr. Li, your grandson passed away peacefully, without much suffering. Do you need any help? I have a friend who specializes in model making. With their skills, they should be able to create a complete mold."

A psychological blow.

The man had clearly been stabbed, but he felt it wasn't enough. He sprinkled salt on the wound, then stabbed it again with a rusty knife.

At this moment, Mr. Li's face was flushed red, his heart filled with rage. But his tolerance was extremely high, and he wouldn't cough up blood just because of Director Hao's words.

"Let's go."

This single word, uttered from his throat, was particularly hoarse and low.

The bodyguards following him were ordinary people.

They had never seen such a thing.

Supporting the three slapped bodyguards, they quickly left.

"Director, is this alright?" the senior director asked softly.

Director Hao said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

He wanted to tell the senior director, what's there to be afraid of? Do you know what school I graduated from, how many influential people I know? Who dares to touch me?

Moreover, Lin Fan was one of their Qingshan people. Before touching me, they'd better consider whether they have the ability.

He was just that arrogant and domineering.

The senior director admired the director.

"Let's go fishing," Lin Fan said.

Old Zhang said, "We've been delayed for a long time."

The senior director was filled with admiration. Such a terrifying event had just occurred, and they were still thinking about fishing. Did they even take the matter to heart?

Perhaps they really didn't.

Director Hao said, "Alright, let's take you fishing."

Then, he called over the senior director and urged him to get some people to clean up the bloodstains on the ground. The impact was significant. If someone brought a patient to the hospital now and saw this scene, they would think Qingshan was a violent place.

If such a thing were to happen, how much hospitalization revenue would they lose?

Never mind the one hundred million donation they just received, even ten hundred million wouldn't make them give up small profits. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and it still tastes like meat when you eat it.

Xu Zihao didn't have much of a favorable impression of Lin Fan.

Mainly because he had wanted to spar with Lin Fan before, and then Lin Fan shattered his precious sword in one move, causing Xu Zihao much heartache. So he thought, since I'm not your match, I'll just stay away from you.

No matter what, I, Xu Zihao, am a genius.

Encountering someone like you, I truly admire you. If I can't beat you, can't I just avoid you?

And now, Xu Zihao truly admired Lin Fan. What he did was too brilliant. Any previous minor grudges vanished without a trace.

"Lin Fan, you're amazing!"

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

Xu Zihao, who had just been filled with excitement, heard Lin Fan's words and felt his heart suddenly grow cold. His eyes widened, and his throat felt as if it was blocked by blood, making it difficult to swallow.

"You don't know who I am?"

Lin Fan looked at him for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember who you are. Have we met before?"

"No, I don't know who you are either. Goodbye."

Xu Zihao didn't want to say anything more. Damn it, you wasted my enthusiasm. Let's just pretend we don't know each other from now on.

Watching the other party's departing figure, Lin Fan muttered to himself, "Such a strange person."
