"Meng Fan!" Why don't you answer the phone? " As Meng Fan looked at his phone in a daze, Zhou Qing suddenly appeared next to him. Seeing Meng Fan holding the phone in a daze, she couldn't help but ask.
"Oh!" It's nothing! I'm going out to answer a phone call! " Hearing Zhou Qing's voice, Meng Fan finally reacted. He put his hand on his phone screen to prevent Zhou Qing from seeing it. Then, he stood up and walked out of the villa.
Although Zhou Qing was just a student, with her status as a military family, she could tell that Meng Fan was not normal. With a hint of doubt in her eyes, she heard someone call out to her from upstairs and immediately agreed. She gave up on eavesdropping and ran up the stairs.
On the other side, Meng Fan was still holding his phone as he walked out of the villa. Even now, his brows were still furrowed. After hesitating for a while, he still picked up the phone.
"Why did you call me? Could it be that you have not caused me enough suffering, and you want to continue to bring harm to me? "(TL:" Un, no "As soon as he picked up the phone, Meng Fan couldn't help but yell, as if he were talking to an enemy.
However, if Liu Xia was by Meng Fan's side, he would have been able to tell that Meng Fan wasn't angry at all. At the very least, he was somewhat conflicted and disgusted. If Meng Fan was angry, then he probably wouldn't be like this. Instead, he would just hang up the phone and secretly find him, causing him to pay the price.
"Meng Fan!" We haven't seen each other in over three years! Why are you so angry, I have never hurt you in any way! " As Meng Fan finished speaking, a line of male voices came out from the phone. The voice was hoarse, and had a sense of ancientness to it. It made people feel as if this person was an old man in his fifties or sixties.
"Don't talk to me about such useless things. It's been so long, why are you still looking for me!" However, Meng Fan's expression did not change at all after hearing the other party's words. He spoke with an ice-cold tone as if he really did not want to receive such a call. He wished that he could never hear from this person.
"Hehe!" Don't be so excited, I heard that Chengying has appeared? It's in your hands. I just want to know if that news is true or not. " However, the other party didn't seem to care about Meng Fan's ice-cold tone and continued to question him as if he hadn't heard anything.
If an ordinary kid saw him, they would probably be scared to the point of crying. Luckily, there was no one else by his side, so he was able to avoid some trouble. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.
After all, with Meng Fan's identity, although he had once been a mercenary or a killer, he had still killed countless people. Although Meng Fan had after all been a mercenary or a killer, he had still killed countless people.
"What do you want?" Facing the person on the other end of the phone, Meng Fan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He grinded his teeth in hatred as he asked.
However, the person on the phone didn't care about Meng Fan's performance. Instead, he chuckled and continued, "I don't want to do anything! I just want to confirm if this is really enough! "
At this moment, Meng Fan was like a completely different person. He no longer had the same calm and relaxed demeanor as before. He was like a raging beast, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart as he waited for an opportunity to make his move.
"If you want to know the answer, you can go find it yourself, not to ask me. I don't want to have anything to do with you, I hope you can take care of yourself. If you appear in front of me, I will not hold back!"
As Meng Fan spoke, he suddenly threw the phone away. The phone fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The entire phone shattered and fell to the ground. Meng Fan had smashed it into pieces.
Even so, the anger on Meng Fan's face didn't show any signs of abating. He stood alone at the entrance of the villa, deep in thought.
By the time Meng Fan returned to the villa, it was already half an hour later. The girls could tell that Meng Fan was not in a good mood, so they didn't inquire too much.
During this time, under the arrangements of Zhou Qing, Meng Fan's room was locked in the master bedroom on the second floor. As for her, Liu Xu, and Ying Ying, they took up three separate rooms.
Meng Fan completely ignored this sort of distribution. Even Hu Yun, who had not seen him for a long time, did not pay much attention to this. He returned to the room that Zhou Qing had assigned him and locked himself in his room.
During the time Meng Fan had locked him in his room, Shadow had also contacted some people in the dark. Old Man Hu had personally given the order to guard the villas Meng Fan and the others were in.
Regarding these arrangements, they didn't look for Meng Fan. After all, they had all agreed on this early on. Old Man Hu didn't ask for Meng Fan's opinion. He only personally selected the people he had assigned to him.
After all, even in the underworld of a country, there were still advantages and disadvantages within the organization. Because of the importance of this matter, old man Hu carefully selected a few people within the department. The only task he gave them was to protect Meng Fan and everyone around him, and to prevent others from taking advantage of them and causing any trouble.
This time, the old man named Hu could be considered to have invested quite a bit. He wanted to at least ensure the safety of Meng Fan and the others in the near future, so as to not cause any hindrance to his future plans.
Since he had listened to old man Hu's plan, Meng Fan had already decided to hand it over to him. After all, the day of the auction was soon going to arrive. Although Meng Fan wasn't clear about the plan, he believed that the real danger would arrive on that day.
Now that he had the protection of these people in the dark, even if Meng Fan didn't really believe them, he would still use this time to gather his strength and increase his chances of winning by a bit.
It wasn't until nightfall that Meng Fan was finally dragged out of the room by Zhou Qing. Although Meng Fan didn't want to do it, he had no choice but to leave the room due to Zhou Qing's influence.
It was because Zhou Qing had said that it was the first day of the move, and even Hu Yun and his mother had come over, claiming that they wanted to have a meal together.
Faced with Zhou Qing's words, Meng Fan felt very helpless. Although he was extremely displeased in his heart, in the end, under Zhou Qing's threats, he chose to compromise.
However, the food at the table was all ordered by Zhou Qing on the phone. There was not a single dish that they had cooked themselves, but luckily no one had bothered to make such a fuss, so it could be considered as having completed a smooth meal.
However, during this period of time, Meng Fan didn't say anything. He only focused on eating, completely ignoring the chattering girls around him.0
However, no one asked Meng Fan anything. Zhou Qing and Liu Xu didn't need to say anything, as they knew Meng Fan's personality. If it was something they knew, Meng Fan wouldn't hide it from them.
As for Shadow and Hu Yun, their relationship with Meng Fan was not that close. They could only ignore his dejected expression, as if they hadn't noticed anything unusual about him.
On the other hand, Yingying, who had come along with Hu Yun, also looked at Meng Fan from time to time with her big eyes. Meng Fan seemed to be in a bad mood, and didn't stick to Meng Fan, but just like Meng Fan, she sat on the side and stuffed food into her mouth.
The time for the meal passed quickly. After finishing his own meal, Meng Fan did not stay in the dining hall any longer. He greeted the women and then returned to his room, completely ignoring the other girls who were still eating.
After returning to his room, he found Meng Fan lying on his bed. Although he had just moved in today, Meng Fan didn't have much to pack.
Meng Fan had also completely followed this principle. He was currently lying on the bed, his eyes glazed over as he stared at the wall. He was clearly not observing anything, and his expression was that of a deep into his own thoughts.
Receiving the call today was not good news for Meng Fan. In fact, when he saw the number, he didn't look too good. This was one of the main reasons he looked like this.
Meng Fan's impression of the person on the phone wasn't very good. Meng Fan didn't even want to see him. He didn't even want to know a single thing about him.
Now that he had suddenly received a call from the other party asking about Meng Fan's death, it was clear that the other party had also set their sights on Cheng Ying. That was why he had asked such a question.
Originally, he had only known that many powers were eyeing Chengying. However, as for the specific factions, Meng Fan really didn't know. Besides those small powers that had been wiped out by Meng Fan, and even with Liu Xia, Meng Fan had not been able to get any accurate information about them.
However, that call not too long ago had let Meng Fan know that the incident with Chengying had exploded out even more than he had imagined. In fact, thinking about the power of the person on the phone made him feel powerless.
From a certain point of view, the only thing Meng Fan could use was his own martial prowess. In terms of intelligence, Meng Fan needed to consult Liu Xia.
As of this moment, Meng Fan felt as if the trajectory of his life had already been set in stone. He was like a puppet, as if everything he was doing was in the hands of someone else, as if he were at the mercy of that person.
Meng Fan was a person who valued freedom. Even if he cooperated with Darkness, he would still try his best to ensure his own freedom. At important times, he would subconsciously avoid Shadow's surveillance.
And now, Meng Fan was truly experiencing what it meant to be in the martial world, to be unable to control oneself. In the depths of Meng Fan's heart, there was only one thing he could think of, and that was to force himself to do something.
That night, Meng Fan didn't sleep at all. He lay there quietly, his eyes listless as he immersed himself in his thoughts, constantly thinking back to everything he had experienced, from leaving the country to joining Greed, leaving Greed, joining the Killer's Guild, accepting a quest, receiving a shadow, and returning home. Everything that had happened over the past nine years seemed to form a series of images that flashed through Meng Fan's mind.
The next morning, Meng Fan's mood had already returned to normal. When he walked out of his room, two large dark circles appeared on his face. He seemed like a giant panda that had just run out of a zoo, as he walked out of his room listlessly.
"Meng Fan!" Where did you go last night? "How did this happen?" Meng Fan had just walked out of his room when he bumped into Zhou Qing, who was walking down the stairs. When he saw Meng Fan's dejected expression, he looked at him in astonishment and cried out.
