The masked woman never dreamed that instead of reporting to the police, Lin Fan sought collaboration with a young man.

Before Lin Fan arrived, the young man had already made his move and hidden near Phoenix Road. As a fellow member of the Hidden Sect, his skills in lurking were good enough to evade the masked woman's eyes.

Then, after Lin Fan lured out the masked woman, the young man launched a surprise attack on her.

The masked woman miscalculated despite her many plans and fell for Lin Fan's trick.

Lin Fan gestured with his finger, signaling the young man to pick up the masked woman's phone.

The young man bent down and picked up the masked woman's phone.

"Bring her over," Lin Fan said.

The young man chuckled, "Kid, thanks for giving me this chance to collaborate, but now that she is in my hands, I can't find a reason to hand her over to you."

The young man had his own plans. Since the masked woman was in his grasp, he could take her away and then force her to reveal the whereabouts of Ye Tianyu because his sole aim was to find Ye Tianyu. With the masked woman in his hands, he could abandon Lin Fan easily.

Lin Fan had already anticipated this situation and said calmly, "Then why don't you escape with her?"

The young man replied, "Because I have a question. I don't quite understand why this woman wants to kidnap that policewoman."

The masked woman had already captured Ye Tianyu. What she should have done was flee with Ye Tianyu and acquire 1 billion from him, instead of actively provoking the police. He couldn't comprehend this, suspecting that things weren't that simple and felt the need to clarify.

Lin Fan said, "Because Ye Tianyu's money is already in my control. She kidnapped my girlfriend to demand money from me."

The young man's face changed, "How could it be... How could you..."

He found it unbelievable that Lin Fan had taken Ye Tianyu's money. How did Lin Fan manage to do this? If this were true, he'd only find Lin Fan's actions incredible.

Lin Fan said, "You've been busy these few days, right? You should know my identity by now. How I did it is not something I can explain in a few words. You just need to know the money is indeed with me."

The young man felt uncertain, his mind racing to analyze the next steps. He had indeed heard that Lin Fan is the richest man in Yun City, a billionaire with heavenly wealth. As the wealthiest person in this city, Lin Fan must have a method to get Ye Tianyu's money.

Aside from the money being with Lin Fan, he couldn't think of any other motive for the masked woman to kidnap Loli.

Since Lin Fan had the money, Ye Tianyu was no longer valuable, so he no longer had a reason to find Ye Tianyu.

"Since the money is with you, that saves me trouble. Kid, we can make a deal now!" The young man sneered.

Lin Fan asked, "What do you want?"

The young man said, "You want to find your girlfriend, and I want money. You give me that 1 billion, and I'll give this woman back to you. Anyway, she is of no use to me anymore, I don't need to find Ye Tianyu, but you still need to find your girlfriend."

The young man seemed to feel that Lin Fan was a sure bet.

Lin Fan asked, "What if I refuse?"

The young man sneered, "If you refuse, I'll kill her right now. If I can't get the money, you can forget about finding your girlfriend! Heh, heh, it's fine if I don't get the money, but can you bear to let your girlfriend die in some unknown corner?"

Lin Fan said, "Then go ahead and kill her."

The young man thought he misheard, hesitating, "What did you say?"

Lin Fan said, "I said you can kill her now."

The young man broke into a cold sweat, "Kid, stop bluffing. I don't believe you don't care about your girlfriend's life or death!"

Lin Fan said, "Who said I don't care? But unfortunately, I will never give you 1 billion. If forced to choose, I'll choose the billion. Moreover, I don't necessarily need her to find my girlfriend, so even if she dies, I can still have hope of finding my girlfriend. So go ahead, kill her, make it quick!"

The young man couldn't believe it, wondering if Lin Fan was serious. He certainly didn't seem to be bluffing.

Lin Fan said, "Let me analyze your future for you. I will never give you the money. If you kill her, my girlfriend might also die. If she dies, I won't let you go. I will find you and turn you into a cripple, making sure you spend the rest of your life in prison. I will use all means to make your life a living hell. Don't think you can hide; I've ignored you these past few days because my focus has been on this masked woman. Once I set my sights on you, I guarantee you won't escape this city. Also, I will do whatever it takes to locate your Tang Sect and uproot you all. I will let your sect know, as they face death, that all this was caused by you, and they will die with resentment and anger toward you. Is that what you want?"

Upon hearing these words, the young man's cold sweat couldn't be stopped from dripping down. Lin Fan had painted a portrait of the future that was akin to Purgatory! Although Lin Fan was threatening him, the damned thing was, he knew Lin Fan could indeed make it happen.

This richest man in Yun City, a billionaire tycoon, his methods weren't entirely unknown to the young man. Lin Fan even took away Ye Tianyu's money, and who knows what kind of methods he used. Those methods were simply incredible!

Observing closely, Lin Fan sensed that his words had already shaken the young man. He smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, the one this masked woman kidnapped was my girlfriend, but she also has another important identity – she's a cop. Not only will I not let you off the hook, but the police won't either. Your Tang Sect has already accumulated a lot of lives, the police are currently hunting you. Let me put it this way, even if I give you 1 billion, do you think you could leave with it smoothly?"

The young man wiped his cold sweat. Lin Fan asked him such a question, and he subconsciously asked himself, could he really leave?

Lin Fan said, "Forget about expecting money. Now I'm giving you a way out, hand over the masked woman to me, and in exchange, I will let you and your two junior sisters leave Yun City safely."

The young man scoffed, "How can I trust your words!"

Lin Fan smiled, "This is the condition I am offering. You don't have to trust it, but let me tell you, I am not a cop. I don't have the mission to put you behind bars, it's not my duty. Unless you want to go down in flames together. Why cause mutual destruction? Even if you get the 1 billion, it won't end up in your pocket, right? Is it worth wagering your future?"

The young man felt his mind racing. He acknowledged Lin Fan's logic, even if he got the 1 billion, it would belong to the sect, not him. Indeed, he had no reason to risk his future.

"Kid, aren't you afraid that when I return to the Tang Sect, I'll report everything to my master? Our Tang Sect won't let you off!" The young man sneered.

Lin Fan said, "I'd love for you to tell your master everything as it is. If your master is smart, he wouldn't want to provoke me further. I'm letting you three go in hopes to end this matter here."

The young man's chest was filled with frustration, Lin Fan was too arrogant, actually daring to speak without respect, not even placing his master in his eyes!
