Chapter 216: Fu Tianlin Appears

Seeing Fu Xue assure Wang Haoran that she would stand up for him, Murong Bufan was infuriated.

How could he not see Wang Haoran’s sinister intentions?

He angrily retorted, “Wang Haoran, stop pretending! You clearly knew my plan, yet you deliberately got beaten by these thugs to lure me out, didn’t you?”

“You’re really cunning!”

However, as soon as Murong Bufan finished speaking, Fu Xue immediately shot back.

“Hmph, you use underhanded tactics, but you don’t allow Wang Haoran to turn the tables on you?”

“You must apologize today and come back to the Bureau with me!”

“…What if I refuse?”

Hearing Murong Bufan’s persistence, Fu Xue didn’t say much more.

She stepped forward, releasing her initial stage aura, “Then don’t blame me for taking action!”

Beside her, Wang Haoran immediately grabbed her arm, concerned, “Xuexue, don’t. Murong Bufan is at the peak of his cultivation; you’ll get hurt!”

“It’s alright, I’m not afraid of him!”

“Fighting is bad, we should talk things out…”

Wang Haoran spoke kindly, but internally, he was cheering, Fight! Start fighting already!

Murong Bufan, seeing Wang Haoran still playing the good guy, was fuming.

“Xuexue, are you really going to fight me for this hypocritical scoundrel?”

“We’ve been together for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am!”

“You’ve been deceived by Wang Haoran! He’s purposely causing us to fight!”

Seeing Fu Xue unmoved, Murong Bufan tried again.

He spread his arms, speaking sorrowfully.

“Xuexue, I won’t hurt you, but I absolutely won’t apologize to a shameless person!”

Seeing Murong Bufan’s non-resistant stance, Wang Haoran knew he was playing the emotional card.

He really wanted Ning Xueluo to lend Fu Xue a weapon and have her stab Murong Bufan!

What a pity!

As expected, Fu Xue hesitated, her expression conflicted.

However, at that moment, Ning Xueluo took action.

Seeing Murong Bufan shamelessly say such things and scold her husband, and Fu Xue still hesitating, she coldly snorted.

“Hmph, Husband, clearly that despicable person started this, yet it seems like it’s your fault now!”

“If the Special Management Bureau is so useless, let me help you get justice!”

Seeing Ning Xueluo disappointed in her and about to take action, Fu Xue panicked.

She immediately unleashed her full aura, stepping closer to Murong Bufan.

“Murong Bufan, since you’re so stubborn, don’t blame me for being rude!”

[Ding! Murong Bufan is caught in a dilemma, his face turning pale with anger! Murong Bufan’s protagonist halo -150! Host’s fortune points +150, ability points +15!]

[Ding! Murong Bufan and female lead Fu Xue have a conflict! Murong Bufan’s protagonist halo -250! Host’s fortune points +250, ability points +25!]

[Murong Bufan’s remaining protagonist halo: 4300, Host’s current fortune points: 1400, ability points: 40!]

Seeing Fu Xue charge forward, Wang Haoran pretended to grab her hand but missed, then stood back with Ning Xueluo to watch the show.

On the surface, it seemed Fu Xue was destined to lose, but her grandfather was legendary; he surely gave her good stuff, maybe even enough to surpass a Grandmaster!

And despite Murong Bufan’s golden finger being mostly sealed, he was still a protagonist.

Wang Haoran was curious who would win.

However, just as they were about to clash.

Suddenly, a serene voice echoed.

“Sigh!”

The voice seemed both nearby and distant.

“Xuexue, stop.”

Seeing the elderly man suddenly appear, Fu Xue immediately halted, “Grandpa?!”

The old man patted Fu Xue’s head, “Good granddaughter!”

Fu Xue quickly introduced her grandfather to Wang Haoran and the others.

“This is my grandpa, the director of our Special Management Bureau!”

Fu Tianlin looked at Wang Haoran and Ning Xueluo, “Not bad, young and promising!”

Fu Xue wore a proud expression—my grandpa, the director!

Wang Haoran, seeing Fu Tianlin’s sage-like demeanor, appeared respectful but internally was quite speechless.

This old man likes to show off too!

If you’re going to make an entrance, why use Qi to make your voice so grand? It’s not like we can’t hear you!

Then, Fu Tianlin turned to Murong Bufan.

“Xiao fan, you need to accept when you’re outmatched. Admit it.”

Fu Tianlin, having experienced many things in the martial world, didn’t see these schemes as unforgivable.

But he believed that if you do something, you must have the courage to bear the consequences of failure and not act shamelessly.

“…”

Under Fu Tianlin’s gaze, Murong Bufan finally lowered his head.

“Wang Haoran, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have plotted against you. Please forgive me!”

“Hmm!”

Wang Haoran nodded in acknowledgment.

But as Murong Bufan was about to leave, Wang Haoran spoke up in surprise, “You’re leaving just like that?”

“…I’ve apologized, what more do you want?”

“Oh, ‘I’ve apologized, what more do you want?’ Heh, is your apology that valuable?”

Wang Haoran sneered, then revealed his true intention.

“You saw the video earlier. Xiao Longchen, an overseas mercenary, openly threatened ordinary people in our country!”

“Even if these people are criminals, they are still our citizens!”

“Officer Murong, as a member of the Special Management Bureau, I think you should apprehend him for justice!”

“Of course, if you’re truly in cahoots, just pretend I didn’t say anything!”

Wang Haoran smiled, watching Murong Bufan’s face, curious about his response.

After a moment of silence, Murong Bufan gritted his teeth, “Fine, I’ll go!”

“Great! I know where he is, I’ll lead the way!”

Wang Haoran clapped his hands.

However, before leaving, there were some instructions to give.

He approached the hospital manager, who had slowly arrived with security guards holding the five thugs.

Wang Haoran whispered to the security head.

“Keep an eye on them. Someone will come to take them later.”

“If they escape or if there are fewer of them, you’ll be held accountable. Understand?”

The manager nodded quickly, “Understood, Mr. Wang!”

“Mr. Wang, please…”

The middle-aged thug began to plead, but Wang Haoran cut him off.

“Don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”

“I just heard there’s a place called *** Hall in the suburbs, known for high-quality coffins—grand, solemn, and airtight even underwater.”

“I just want you to test if it’s true.”

After speaking to the middle-aged man, Wang Haoran added more instructions to the manager.

“Oh, when people come, tell them our Wang Group is wealthy but we don’t waste money. One coffin for these five is enough!”

“…Understood, Mr. Wang!”

Returning to Ning Xueluo’s side, Wang Haoran smiled at Fu Tianlin.

Those words were inaudible to others, but Fu Tianlin definitely heard them.

“Director Fu, I was just handling my group’s matters, no problem, right?”

“…No problem.”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s lack of respect, Fu Tianlin felt helpless, but they were in the wrong this time, no choice.

“Alright, let’s go then. I can’t wait to see Officer Murong in action!”

As Wang Haoran was about to get in the car, Xu Ruochu, who had been hesitating for a while, finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward.

“…Haoran… Brother Haoran…”

Her eyes were still red, and seeing Wang Haoran look over, she quickly spoke, “…Brother Haoran, I…”

“Sorry, Ruochu, I’m busy now and can’t take you back.”

Wang Haoran interrupted her, then looked at the hospital manager.

“Get a car to take them back.”

“Alright, Mr. Wang!”

Wang Haoran nodded, then turned to Murong Bufan, who hadn’t gotten in the car yet.

“Officer Murong, drive faster!”

“Don’t let Xiao Longchen escape!”

tln : yeah, fuck Ruochu.
