Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243
In the office, Shen Shiyao spread her arms, pressing her back tightly against Lin Yifan.
Determined, she stared dead at her second uncle.
"Second Uncle, I can agree to anything you say... But you can’t harm Lin Yifan... If anything happens to him, I will die with him!"
The moment Shen Shiyao woke up, she thought of Lin Yifan.
She rushed over, having already made up her mind.
"Shiyao, you should be more worried about your second uncle, me, right now."
Li Fengchun chuckled, sitting down in the boss’s chair.
The delay in Hei Hu’s return was enough to prove that Lin Yifan was more skilled.
In other words, if he wanted to kill someone right now, no one could stop him.
"Second Uncle, I know this was all my dad’s request. I can go back with you, but you must ensure Lin Yifan’s safety. I promise you, even if the other party is a limping beggar, I will marry them, as long as you don’t harm Lin Yifan, I’ll do whatever you want."
Shen Shiyao didn’t fully understand Li Fengchun’s words.
She thought he meant that if Lin Yifan wasn’t killed, he’d have a hard time explaining things.
Lin Yifan felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.
With a smile, he pinched Shen Shiyao’s ear and said.
"Hey, what’s this about a limping beggar, I never agreed to you marrying someone else."
"I... I’m doing this for you too... I only love you in this lifetime."
As she turned back, Shen Shiyao’s eyes were filled with aggrieved tears.
She hugged Lin Yifan tightly, sobbing uncontrollably on his chest.
"Then live well, your second uncle has already promised not to interfere with our relationship."
Gently stroking Shiyao’s hair, Lin Yifan comforted her.
"Really?"
Shiyao raised her head in disbelief and asked.
Her teary eyes were full of grievance.
"Of course, if you don’t believe me, ask your second uncle."
Only then did Shiyao timidly turn her head to look at Li Fengchun sitting in the chair.
She couldn’t believe it, but she hoped it was true.
"I watched you grow up, how could I let you suffer? Before, I just wanted to test if you were truly moved, and also to see if Lin Yifan was someone you could entrust your heart to. Now it appears both of you have given sincerely. As your second uncle, I am of course at ease. When I return, I’ll have a good talk with my sister about the two of you. With my full support, she definitely won’t say anything else."
"Second Uncle, you really scared me just now!"
Li Fengchun’s words finally brought a smile to Shen Shiyao’s face.
She quickly ran to his side, pulling his arm and acting spoiled.
But Lin Yifan naturally knew that if he hadn’t defeated Hei Hu, she would definitely have been taken away.
"Alright, it’s so late now, you should go back and rest well. Lin Yifan and I still have some things to discuss. Once I leave, you’ll have plenty of time together."
Pating Shen Shiyao’s head, Li Fengchun hadn’t told Lin Yifan everything yet.
Seeing Lin Yifan nod, her face blushed shyly as she retreated.
"Alright, we can continue now. I’m curious, why is the Shen Family, far away in Shangjing, involved with Black Bear Valley?"
Now back to just the two of them, Lin Yifan’s expression turned serious.
What he wanted to understand most was why the Shen Family cared about Black Bear Valley.
"I can’t answer that question for you, because since I joined the Shen Family, I’ve known that they care about the situation in Black Bear Valley. So, the Li Family would frequently send people to check. Before, I even met your grandfather."
Li Fengchun paused and continued.
"For years, I’ve been working with my brother-in-law, and I’m considered a core member of the Shen Family. However, as an outsider, I’ve reached my peak. Knowing too much would only bring me trouble that could cost my life, so I only follow orders. This time, sending Hei Hu to test you was also because Shiyao broke off the engagement. I believe the Tang Family will not let it slide easily and will soon send assassins to resolve it, so you must be extra careful."
"Then who exactly is the Shen Family?"
Lin Yifan looked at Li Fengchun’s face to confirm whether he was telling the truth.
He was very curious about the real identity of the Shen Family.
"I’ve said before that the Shen Family is just a family, but its magnitude is unimaginable. Take the Li Family, for example, it’s just a small family tied to the Shen Family. There are numerous families like this, so you can understand how terrifying a truly large family can be, right?"
Li Fengchun did not directly answer but gave a hint through his explanation.
"One last question, if the Li Family is tied to the Shen Family, then is such a huge Shen Family also tied to other families?"
Lin Yifan’s question made Li Fengchun’s eyes change.
Every question he asked hit the mark.
"The Shen Family can reach the heavens."
Just five short words but hiding countless secrets.
Beyond this, Li Fengchun knew no more.
"Whether it can reach the heavens or the earth is none of my concern, as long as it poses no threat to Black Bear Valley. I’ll make this clear, today I may call you second uncle with Shiyao, but if you think you can force me to comply like this, you’re gravely mistaken. If anyone dares to offend Black Bear Valley, no matter who they are or how many there are, I will grind them to dust."
Lin Yifan stood up, downing the drink in his glass.
"By the way, you said that a family is the largest body of interest in this world. I heard someone say this a long time ago, but I prefer another radical line he said. All the rules, morals, boundaries, good and bad, right and wrong in this world are set by strength. If you have absolute power, then you are God."
The door of the office closed slowly.
Lin Yifan’s final words were both a threat and a warning.
Li Fengchun squinted his eyes and sat back in the boss’s chair again.
Playing with the iron ball in his hand, he was deep in thought.
After a long time, Hei Hu finally walked back with his head down, step by step.
He sat heavily on the sofa, saying nothing, as if utterly exhausted.
"How strong is he, really?"
Li Fengchun had never seen Hei Hu so dispirited.
He wanted to know how powerful Lin Yifan really was.
"I am unworthy to know."
Hei Hu’s words stunned Li Fengchun.
A trace of relieved smile flickered across his lips, then disappeared.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
Even though it was already past midnight, the call was quickly answered.
"Is the matter settled?"
A somewhat aged voice came from the other end of the line.
"It’s settled. His strength should have reached the Taoist Cultivation Sect, but the exact extent is unknown. I will stay and continue probing."
Li Fengchun said respectfully.
"So young and already a Taoist practitioner, no wonder he can become a Soul Suppressing Man. Such strength is indeed rare. Did you mention the Dragon Vein to him?"
"He’s very cautious, so I didn’t bring it up yet."
"That’s right. For now, remain inactive and observe first. How is the progress of Black Bear Valley’s investment project?"
"Most people have given up, but some refuse to back down. I suspect he might be the root of the Yan Family in Shangjing."
"Then you should know what to do. Remember, the Dragon Vein must not be compromised."
"Yes!"
