Chapter 18 It Might Happen Tonight...

After a moment, under the gaze of Lin Fan and Liang Xi, a trace of a smile flashed across Ling Yuxin's face, and she said softly, "Well... I'm leaving. I wish you both happiness."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fled away as if running for her life.

It was not until Ling Yuxin's figure disappeared that Liang Xi released the hand that was holding Lin Fan's arm, and a trace of charm flashed across her face.

Lin Fan looked at Liang Xi in front of him and didn't say anything.

After a moment, Liang Xi said softly to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, was that your ex-girlfriend just now?"

"Sort of," Lin Fan nodded indifferently, with no excessive expression on his face.

"I helped you a great deal just now. How are you going to thank me?" Liang Xi looked at Lin Fan tentatively and then asked.

Lin Fan touched his nose. He didn't take Ling Yuxin to heart at all, and actually, there was no need to talk about thanking or not.

However, Liang Xi had meant well after all.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan opened his mouth and said, "Thank you."

"It's really not easy to get you to say thank you," Liang Xi gave Lin Fan a plaintive look and said softly.

Lin Fan looked down at Liang Xi. Although she still looked extremely beautiful, the tiredness between her eyebrows couldn't be hidden.

"Is something bothering you?" Lin Fan asked indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xi's face became a bit anxious. Her beautiful eyes directly met Lin Fan's, and she said softly, "Lin Fan, please save my grandpa."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan looked at Liang Xi indifferently and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Liang Xi directly grabbed Lin Fan's hand with her small hand. An unusual feeling came from her hand. Lin Fan looked down at Liang Xi's hand holding his, still not saying a word.

"Even my grandpa's personal bodyguard couldn't last one move against you, and you easily took down more than twenty bodyguards before. I know that your strength is really high. Although I've learned a little from my master, it's just trivial. Now, only you can save my grandpa," Liang Xi's little face was full of anxiety as she said to Lin Fan.

"Tell me what the situation is first," Lin Fan hesitated for a while before asking.

When Liang Xi finally heard Lin Fan say something, she quickly replied, "We've received accurate information that a killer with the code name 'Night' will come to assassinate my grandpa in a few days."

"Your grandpa's status is so extraordinary. Isn't there anyone around him who can protect him?" Lin Fan replied.

"There are bodyguards. Grandpa has his own personal bodyguards. The one who came to find you that night was one of them. But he was no match for you..." The anxiety on Liang Xi's face became even more pronounced. She hesitated to speak and looked at Lin Fan pleadingly with her beautiful eyes.

Lin Fan still looked at Liang Xi indifferently and didn't say anything.

"Lin Fan, please save my grandpa. 'Night' is very famous in the killer world. It's said that he has never failed a mission. Besides you, I can't think of anyone else to turn to," Liang Xi shook Lin Fan's arm. The usual coldness had long since faded, and now she was just a granddaughter who was extremely anxious because of her worry for her grandpa.

Looking at Liang Xi who was on the verge of crying, Lin Fan naturally knew that things weren't that simple. Although he didn't like Grandpa Liang's way of doing things, he wasn't a bad person either.

Moreover, Lin Fan had his own calculations in his heart.

Now his parents' company was facing more and more crises. The quickest way to help his parents at present was through Grandpa Liang. If he helped him once and then asked him to help himself in return, a fair deal wouldn't be a bad thing.

Of course, as Grandpa Liang had said, it was simply impossible for Lin Fan to work for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded and replied, "You go back first. I'll come to your house in two days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xi was first delighted, then her pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Two days... We still don't know the exact time. Maybe it will happen tonight..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. He naturally knew what Liang Xi meant. She wanted him to go to the Liang family now.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go upstairs to get something," Lin Fan nodded at Liang Xi and said indifferently.

"No need to get it. We have everything there," Liang Xi said. Her face immediately lit up with joy, and she pulled Lin Fan directly towards the direction of the car.

Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, "If I want to get it, I naturally have my reasons."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xi instinctively released the hand that was holding Lin Fan.

Although she had known Lin Fan for some time, this was the first time she had seen Lin Fan like this, and it made her feel somewhat subdued.

Lin Fan glanced at Liang Xi and then walked straight into the house.

After reaching the kitchen on the second floor, Lin Fan took out a set of keys from his pocket, directly opened the kitchen door, and then walked towards the iron pot.

When he saw that the essence in the iron pot had successfully condensed into a pill, a trace of a smile finally appeared on his handsome face.

Although the quality wasn't very high, it was still acceptable.

He took out a porcelain bottle, put the Foundation Establishment Pill into it, and then walked downstairs.

At this time, Liang Xi was pacing back and forth, looking extremely anxious.

When she saw Lin Fan come out, she was delighted and was about to go up to Lin Fan. But the scene just now flashed through her mind, and she retracted the step she had already taken.

"Let's go," Lin Fan came in front of Liang Xi and directly sat in the passenger seat.

Liang Xi stood there in a daze for a moment, and then her face lit up with joy.

The car sped along the road, ignoring the traffic lights, which was enough to show how anxious Liang Xi was.

Soon, the car drove into the Liang family's manor. After Lin Fan got out of the car, he directly followed Liang Xi into the house.

Just as Lin Fan was about to step in, a bodyguard he had never seen before reached out to stop him and said to Liang Xi in a deep voice, "Miss, the situation is urgent now. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the bodyguard who had spoken, and didn't say anything.

However, when Liang Xi, who was walking in front, heard the bodyguard's words, her face suddenly changed. Her cold gaze fell on the bodyguard, and her face was full of displeasure.

"This... This is what the boss ordered," the bodyguard felt a bit intimidated by Liang Xi's gaze and replied softly.

At this moment, Liang Xi was filled with anger. She had finally managed to invite Lin Fan here, and this thoughtless person was stopping him. What if Lin Fan was provoked and left directly?

Thinking of this, Liang Xi quickly turned back to look at Lin Fan behind her.

Lin Fan had an indifferent expression, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Liang Xi let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief and said to the bodyguard in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard hesitated and looked at Liang Xi, then at Lin Fan. When he saw that Lin Fan was dressed ordinary and didn't show any signs of anger when he was stopped, the bodyguard guessed that Lin Fan was just an ordinary person.

Although he didn't know why Liang Xi had brought such a person at this critical moment, for the safety of Grandpa Liang, he absolutely couldn't let him in.

Thinking of this, the bodyguard suddenly gained confidence, raised his head slightly, and said to Liang Xi, "Sorry, miss. This is my responsibility. He can't enter!"
