Chapter 587 The truth comes to light
As soon as he entered the door, he received a new message alert.
"Action so soon?" Lin Fan muttered to himself, and then his cell phone rang.
"Lin Fan, have you confirmed that you have received the payment?" Qin Ruxue's voice came from the phone.
"I did receive it, but I want to hear more about you and your mother."
As Lin Fan spoke, he lit a cigarette and crossed his legs casually.
"Ha, it seems that you are really not afraid that I will not pay back the money. Five billion is not a small amount." Qin Ruxue replied with a smile.
"It's just a drop in the bucket for me, not worth worrying about." Lin Fan responded lightly.
"Okay, your level of acting cool is really top-notch. I admit it."
Qin Ruxue paused for a moment, then continued, "I tried to contact my mother again today, but still no news."
"Where on earth did she go? In this age of advanced communications, it's impossible for her to be out of contact for so long, unless she's in some remote corner of the world." Lin Fan seemed a little confused.
“Pristine forests, snow-capped peaks, grand canyons—these were all places she loved to explore, and she often lost touch.
The longest time he disappeared was nearly two months. I almost called the police, but luckily he returned safely in the end."
Qin Ruxue smiled bitterly, apparently used to it: "Over the years, I've become accustomed to her erratic whereabouts."
"How about this, give me her contact information and see if we can track her location." Lin Fan suggested.
"Okay, I'll send it to you later." Qin Ruxue replied.
"I'm going to Ancheng in a few days. Can we meet and talk?" Qin Ruxue asked tentatively.
"Well, we'll see how the situation turns out." Lin Fan's answer didn't seem very enthusiastic.
"Lin Fan, you bastard!" Qin Ruxue was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude and hung up the phone.
"Hey, I'm not someone you can meet casually." Lin Fan was enjoying himself when he suddenly realized something and hurriedly called back.
"What's wrong again?" Qin Ruxue's tone was cold when she answered the phone.
"Don't be like that, I was just joking. If you come to Ancheng, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to see you." Lin Fan quickly changed his words.
"So, you won't use the phrase 'we'll see how the situation develops when the time comes' anymore?" Qin Ruxue saw through his intention and said in a teasing tone.
"Of course not. I promise to be there whenever you call me." Lin Fan said sincerely.
"If you don't inform me when you get to Ancheng, I'll be very angry."
Qin Ruxue warned, adding, "I'll send you my parents' contact information now. Remember to tell me when you find out where they are."
“What a worrying parent.”
Lin Fan muttered, then forwarded the contact information provided by Qin Ruxue to a friend named Siyan, and then called Siyan.
Just as the two were chatting, the phone rang again.
"Xu Qingxue? Isn't the case closed?" Lin Fan was confused. After explaining it to Siyan, he answered the call from Xu Qingxue.
Lin Fan received a call from Xu Qingxue, and said in a serious tone: "Lin Fan, you have to come to the police station."
"What's going on? Is it the victim's family who wants to thank me? There's no need to go to all that trouble. It's just a small matter that's not worth mentioning."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment and said casually.
"Someone has reported you for a crime. It's best if you come here yourself."
Xu Qingxue explained: "Otherwise, we might have to send a car to pick you up."
"What? Someone reported me?"
Lin Fan asked in astonishment, "Who is it?"
"The young master of the Zhou family in Gangcheng, Zhou Haoxin."
Xu Qingxue replied, her expression becoming serious: "One of his hands was broken, and he accused you of being the mastermind behind it."
"Broken hand? How is that possible?" Lin Fan was shocked because Zhou Haoxin looked fine when he left before.
Did Xu Kai and the others strike too hard? But then he rejected this idea, thinking that they shouldn't make such a mistake.
"This has nothing to do with you?" Xu Qingxue asked doubtfully.
"Are you kidding me? If I were to touch him, would it be as simple as just breaking one of his hands?"
Lin Fan smiled contemptuously: "But no matter what, since they have already reported the case, I still have to go and take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan immediately contacted Xu Kai. "You didn't do anything to Zhou Haoxin, did you?" he asked.
"No, we just watched him leave the company, what happened?" Xu Kai responded puzzledly.
"Nothing, he just said that his hand was broken and that I ordered him to do it." Lin Fan took a puff of his cigarette, his mind full of questions.
Zhou Haoxin had clearly left the company unscathed, so who would do such a good thing? He soon realized that someone might have deliberately framed him.
"What? Someone broke his hand? Brother Fan, could it be that he staged this all by himself, playing a trick of inflicting pain on himself?" Xu Kai guessed.
"It's unlikely. A rich second-generation like him wouldn't have the courage to do such a cruel thing to himself." Lin Fan shook his head in denial.
“Perhaps a third party intervened.”
Lin Fan said thoughtfully, "Someone might be trying to use this incident to stir up trouble between me and the Zhou family."
"No matter what, I need to go to the police station." Lin Fan decided.
"Brother Fan, I'll go with you." Xu Kai expressed his support.
Lin Fan called Zhao Ziqing again to inform her of the situation.
"What did you say? He had his hand broken and then falsely accused you of doing it?" Zhao Ziqing was surprised.
Just like that, Lin Fan prepared to go to the police station, while also thinking about the truth behind the matter.
"Did you have someone break Xu Kai's hand?" Zhao Ziqing asked.
"How is that possible? I have always been gentle and polite. Don't you know me? If I really wanted to teach him a lesson, why would I ask someone else to do it for me?" Lin Fan replied.
"That's true." Zhao Ziqing replied.
"I'll go see what's going on." Lin Fan prepared to leave.
"Okay, don't be impulsive, and be careful of someone secretly doing trouble." Zhao Ziqing reminded.
"Don't worry." Lin Fan responded with a smile, admiring her cleverness in his heart.
Afterwards, Lin Fan took Xu Kai to the police station.
There, Zhou Haoxin, who had been bandaged, kept complaining and demanding that the police arrest Lin Fan, accusing him of instructing others to break his hand.
Xu Qingxue, a police officer who was not originally in charge of the case, became involved after hearing Lin Fan's name.
"Please calm down. We have already contacted Lin Fan. Once he arrives, everything will be clear."
"Contact? You only contacted him instead of arresting him?"
Zhou Haoxin angrily demanded, "Do you have any relationship with him? I want to complain!"
"You can complain as much as you want."
Xu Qingxue said calmly, "We will only act based on evidence, not just arrest people based on a few words."
"I'm from Gangcheng. There's something wrong with your attitude in handling the problem!" Zhou Haoxin became even more annoyed.
“Even if you’re from another country, our principles remain the same.”
