Chapter 161 That Settles It

"I'll kill you!" Leopard's expression twisted into a ferocious scowl, but before he could even move, Feifei fired a shot straight into his leg.

Yang Fan stepped forward and kicked him hard!

"You've harmed so many people, so now you can go protect them! Atone for your sins!"

As Yang Fan spoke, Lin Ruo's hand flicked. It was the junior puppet technique, the last one she had left in reserve.

Leopard's consciousness instantly shattered; he had been successfully turned into a puppet...

"Master, what about them?" Feifei asked.

"Take them back with you and train them well!" Yang Fan replied. In a way, Leopard had ended up making wedding garments for someone else—all his assets now belonged to Yang Fan.

"What else is in here?"

"There's a laboratory here, along with ten researchers. Word has it they were researching how ordinary people can kill supernatural beings, as well as how to artificially transform ordinary mortals into superhumans."

"If we hadn't discovered this early on, it would have become a major threat later. Take the laboratory and the researchers back with us as well. Isn't there an independent space underneath the women's academy? Accommodate everyone there so they can train while helping to protect the academy," Yang Fan instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Yang Fan nodded! He handed the palm-sized treasure chest over to Feifei and tossed all of them inside.

With Feifei and the others heading back to Tianning, Yang Fan and his three companions began walking around the place.

"Let them continue their research. Perhaps we'll be dealing with more superhumans in the future. If they really manage to invent something breakthrough, it will become our ultimate trump card!"

"Indeed!"

Wang Yun knew a little about this, but not much, so she kept silent.

"Look, that place looks like a warehouse!" Wang Yun pointed in a certain direction.

The four of them walked over. The door didn't even have a lock on it, and Yang Fan pushed it open directly.

Suddenly, his eyes went wide with disbelief. Just the luxury cars alone numbered over thirty, all of them out-of-print, discontinued editions.

Ah Ying was into investments, while Leopard was into collecting. These figures from the Salvation Society certainly weren't ordinary people.

"Look, there are famous paintings and jewelry too!"

There were two crates over there. Wang Yun walked straight over and saw that they were filled with jade stones, jewelry, and other treasures.

Yang Fan picked up his phone and called Liu Haoyu directly, telling him to team up with Zhang Chen and Xu Tao to find Ye Bing, and have her arrange for over thirty drivers to come over.

Taking advantage of the middle of the night, they were going to drive all these cars back!

After looking around a bit more, they packed several cars with red wine, premium cigarettes, and other small items. Once they were certain nothing else was left, he and Wang Yun went outside to wait for the others.

About an hour later, a large bus arrived, and everyone stepped off.

"Uncle!"

"Yang Fan!"

...

Yang Fan nodded and said, "I bought some cars and stored them here. I brought you all here tomorrow—no, today—to drive these cars back!"

Naturally, that was the cover story they had to use on the surface. Liu Haoyu, Zhang Chen, and Xu Tao knew that this probably meant they had raided another enemy stronghold.

"What kind of cars?"

"All limited editions!" Yang Fan said.

"Really?" Zhang Chen beamed with joy. Yang Fan led everyone inside, and the moment they laid eyes on the vehicles, everyone was utterly stunned.

"Alright, you can admire them more when we get back. Let's drive them back first!"

Yang Fan directed...

More than thirty drivers successively got into the cars and drove them out one by one. Liu Haoyu, Zhang Chen, and Xu Tao drove the vehicles loaded with the miscellaneous treasures.

After all the cars had departed, Yang Fan used a concealment barrier to mask the area!

On the roads of Tianhai, a massive convoy rolled forward!

Back at the resort, both Liu Mingfeng and Ye Bing had been alerted. Seeing the parade of rare, discontinued cars pulling in, both of them were startled.

Because every single one of these vehicles was brand new, Ye Bing cleared a massive section of land for parking. The resort was simply too vast, featuring several parking lots all on its own.

Finally, the three cars driven by Liu Haoyu, Zhang Chen, and Xu Tao arrived. Opening the doors, they began carrying out the hidden treasures, and lastly, Yang Fan and his three companions returned.

They carried the items into the warehouse, and upon opening the crates, they found them overflowing with jewelry and jade.

"Yang Fan, where on earth did all this stuff come from?"

"We almost got tricked by Leopard, but this is the real jackpot. The value of these items alone is worth half the resort."

Liu Mingfeng and Ye Bing were deeply shocked.

"Sister Bing, when I head back, I'll take the jade and jewelry with me and have Ye Xiao put them up for auction. As for the rest of the things, handle them however you see fit!"

"Alright," Ye Bing agreed.

In truth, all these items were exorbitantly expensive luxury goods, but everyone had grown somewhat immune to wealth by now and wasn't particularly fazed.

Looking rather sleepy, Liu Mingfeng said, "Everyone go get some sleep. We've been tossing and turning for over two hours."

Yang Fan was also feeling tired, so he led Lin Ruo, Lin Xi, and Wang Yun back to rest.

He slept all the way until noon the next day. His trip to Tianhai had essentially reached its finale; the day after tomorrow was the birthday of Lin Ruo and Lin Xi. He could stay until tomorrow, but he had to leave the day after.

"Why don't you come back with me? It's almost winter break anyway!"

"I still have work to do! Don't worry, I'll come stay with you as soon as break starts," Wang Yun said. The mere thought of parting ways made her heart ache.

And the next time they met would probably be half a month later!

By then, it would be the New Year!

"When I get back to Tianning, I'll have to make a trip home and drop classmate Ai Xiaomei off, letting her stay in my hometown for a couple of days."

Ai Xiaomei was exceedingly eager about this. If Yang Fan didn't already know she was a little troublemaker, he would have genuinely believed she was a good kid!

Now, facing impending separation, he just wanted to hold her a little tighter.

Zhang Chen, Xu Tao, and Liu Haoyu headed back, each driving a limited-edition car. Of course, these were also meant for the core members who had started their business venture alongside Yang Fan—Wang Jie, Ye Xiao, Third Brother, Qin Jun, and Wang Xin!

The cars were parked right there, and they could just come pick them up whenever they had time. This could also be considered his year-end bonus for them.

Xu Zihan and Ai Xiaomei went back with them, and Zhao Mengnan also returned. The staff from Fanmei and Jingtian were withdrawing as well.

With the year coming to an end, everyone was preparing to rest!

On the afternoon of the second day, Yang Fan bid farewell to Wang Yun. She hugged him tightly and refused to let go. After comforting her for a long while, Wang Yun finally turned back.

"Aren't the three of you planning to go back?" Yang Fan asked, looking at Liu Mingfeng, President Qian, and President Chen.

"We're going to spend the New Year right here!" Liu Mingfeng laughed.

"You guys are really something," Yang Fan muttered, curling his lips.

"Why don't you just stay here for the New Year too?"

"I can't do that. I have to spend the New Year over at the women's academy! Next year, perhaps next year I'll finally get to enjoy some leisure!"

"Alright then!"

Everyone waved goodbye as the cars slowly pulled away.

"Lin Ruo, let's detour into the city and take the expressway!" Yang Fan said.

"Are you out of your mind? We could take the shortcut!"

"Trust me, taking the expressway is the right move. I'm taking you two to celebrate your birthday! You have to listen to me today!"

"Fine, tell me, where to?"

"To the mountain peak we know best. I've prepared a gift for you two sisters up there," Yang Fan said.

Lin Ruo remained silent. In the back seat, Lin Xi, who was sitting next to Yang Fan, didn't speak either as the car detoured into Tianhai and merged onto the expressway.
