Seeing the scar-faced man's tragic state, the ordinary-looking man beside him was taken aback. The first thing he thought of was that the Masked Woman had returned. In his impression, only this Masked Woman had such skills.

However, when he turned his head in a cold sweat, he was stunned. The newcomer was not the Masked Woman, but a stranger, a young man!

Who, who is this?

Lin Fan walked toward them with a grim face, a coin held between his fingers.

"Who are you, don't come any closer!"

The ordinary-looking man, summoning his courage, tried to stop Lin Fan.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't listen to him.

The ordinary-looking man had no choice but to brace himself and charge toward Lin Fan, swinging his fist in an attempt to stop him.

It was undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In a flash, Lin Fan's knee collided with the man's abdomen. The next moment, the ordinary-looking man's eyes nearly bulged out, and his face turned pale. He collapsed to his knees, his body curled like a shrimp, mouth agape, silently screaming in pain.

"Stay still," Lin Fan said calmly, walking past him.

The scar-faced man had already reacted and, upon spotting Lin Fan, tried to use his other hand to strangle Loli in a panic, attempting to threaten Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan didn't give him the chance. With a swift step forward, he grabbed the scar-faced man's collar, lifting the big man up with one hand and swinging him away.

The scar-faced man flew out, crashing against the wall with a loud thud before falling to the ground. His body twitched, unable to move for a while, only managing to cough up blood.

Seeing that it was Lin Fan, Loli was overjoyed, tears streaming down her face. Fortunately, Lin Fan arrived just in time, or else she would have fallen victim to the scar-faced man's attack.

Lin Fan squatted down and first helped Loli remove the tape sealing her mouth.

As soon as Loli regained her ability to speak, she said, "Ye Tianyu, Ye Tianyu is over there!"

Lin Fan followed her gaze to the corner of the warehouse and saw Ye Tianyu hanging by his wrists with chains.

Lin Fan quickly tore off the ropes binding Loli, then stood up and hurried to Ye Tianyu.

Loli also quickly freed herself from the ropes and immediately went to check on Ye Tianyu.

"Is he dead?" Loli asked.

Lin Fan squatted in front of Ye Tianyu, reached out to check his pulse, and said, "Not yet, but he's close. We need to treat him quickly."

With that, Lin Fan began unchaining Ye Tianyu, laying him flat on the ground to start providing aid.

"The conditions here are crude; I can only keep him alive temporarily. He needs to go to a hospital. Call the police and an ambulance," Lin Fan said, handing his phone to Loli.

Loli took the phone, wanting to call for help, but finding the signal weak, she stood up to look for a better spot.

As she turned around, she saw the ordinary-looking man struggling to get up from the ground and stumbling outside, attempting to escape.

"Hey, don't move!" Loli shouted, ready to pursue and subdue him.

Lin Fan waved his hand.

With a whistling sound, a flash of silver flew through the air, striking the back of the ordinary-looking man's head in an instant.

The man grunted and fell to the ground motionless with a thud.

Lin Fan murmured, "I told you to behave, but you wouldn't listen."

Loli, holding the phone, was stunned. This skill—so strong. Did Lin Fan just kill him?

Lin Fan said, "It's fine. He's not dead. You should make the call."

"Okay." Loli snapped out of it and quickly ran to find a spot with a signal to call for backup.

After calling the police, Loli, worried the two men might try to escape, used the ropes previously binding her to tie their hands and feet. Those two men were quite pitiful too—the scar-faced man's hand was crippled by Lin Fan's coin and then thrown against a wall, leaving him bleeding and feeling like his body had fallen apart. The ordinary-looking man had his head hit by Lin Fan's coin, leaving no visible wound but rendering him unconscious. If Lin Fan hadn't shown mercy, his brain might have been turned to mush.

"Lin Fan, how did you find me?" Loli asked as she busied herself with the task.

Lin Fan said, "The Masked Woman came to me for a deal, and I caught her."

What? Loli said in shock, "You caught her? Where is she?"

Lin Fan said, "In a safe place."

Loli was stunned, not immediately understanding Lin Fan's meaning, but she didn't press further, only asking, "I don't get it. Why did she capture me, and what does she want by making a deal with you?"

Lin Fan said, "As I told you before, the Masked Woman and those from the Tang Sect were all after Ye Tianyu's money."

Loli said, "Yes, Ye Tianyu used 10 million to buy his life. Our police have been trying to trace this 10 million these past days but to no avail."

Lin Fan smiled, "It's normal that you couldn't trace it because the money is in a secret account under Li Huashan's name. This money belongs to Li Huashan; since he's dead, it's owned by his sole heir, his daughter Li Zixia."

Loli said, "Yeah, but why capture me? I still don't understand."

Lin Fan said, "Because the money is currently in my possession. That day, Ye Tianyu had already told me the secret account number and password, asking me to return the money to Li Zixia. The Masked Woman captured you to force me into giving her the money."

"Huh?" Loli was dumbfounded. When did Lin Fan get hold of Ye Tianyu's money? She knew nothing about it.

Lin Fan said, "The Masked Woman and the three from the Tang Sect won't give up without the money. I had considered handing it to the police and making it known publicly, so they would stop pursuing it. But I realized that wouldn't work. Since Ye Tianyu was severely injured and held by the police, hoping they would rescue him, he wouldn't reveal the money's whereabouts. Naturally, they wouldn't believe it, so they'd still try to abduct Ye Tianyu. So I decided to keep it hidden and transferred the money instead."

Loli said, "You want to use Ye Tianyu to lure them out and capture them."

Lin Fan said, "Yes, but unfortunately, the Masked Woman had some tricks. She managed to successfully rescue Ye Tianyu that day, using her Disguise Skill to escape. But it doesn't matter. With the money with me, I knew she'd eventually come for me, and today she did. I just didn't expect she'd kidnap you just because you're my girlfriend, using you to threaten me."

"..." Loli felt a bit aggrieved. This was a disaster out of nowhere for her, especially thinking about how the scar-faced man almost harmed her—she felt even more upset. If Lin Fan weren't busy saving Ye Tianyu, she would've definitely asked for a comforting hug.

Now she finally understood, and after some thought, said, "What about next? Now that they know you have the money, even if you give it to us, they'll probably still trouble you."

Lin Fan said, "Yes, so in the next few days, I plan to leave Yun City for a while."

Loli curiously asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Fan said, "To completely resolve this trouble."
