"Ah! Save me!"
From the direction of Luofeng Mountain, a faint cry for help could be heard.
This cry was extremely weak and too far away for others to hear, but only Lin Fan, with his keen hearing, could detect it.
"Still can't let me rest easy."
He stood up from his stool, "Old village chief, I'll go take a look."
"Alright, Xiao Fan, they are honored guests of our village. You must not let them come to any harm!" Elder Wu Lei cautioned.
Lin Fan nodded and turned to leave.
What worried him most wasn't their safety, but the fact that one was a director and the other a star. If they were to meet an untimely end in Luofeng Village, it would have an extremely negative impact on the village.
At that point, forget about development; it would probably be regarded as a cursed place, shunned by all.
"Godfather, you, what are you doing?"
Reaching a mountain pass, President Qian dropped all pretense and was about to take down Mimi.
The surroundings were dense with trees, and the moonlight couldn't penetrate.
"Heh heh, you little slut. I've invested a lot of money and resources for you, and you're still pretending to be pure with me! I'm not as useless as your other two godfathers!"
President Qian rubbed his hands, advancing step by step.
"No... what, what did you do to me?"
Mimi tried to struggle but suddenly felt her body was not right.
She collapsed on the ground, her eyes filled with terror.
"Too perfect, absolutely perfect!"
President Qian had planned this for so long and was finally about to achieve his goal.
Bang!
Just then, a purple light flashed in the darkness.
Lin Fan rushed forward and kicked President Qian, sending him flying.
"Who?!"
President Qian painfully got up from the ground, and upon seeing it was Lin Fan, he became furious, "You took my money and you dare to ruin my good deed?!"
Lin Fan glanced at Mimi and finally understood what was happening.
So she had been poisoned!
"You're a disgrace to us men, resorting to such despicable tactics!" Lin Fan berated.
"Lin Fan, I advise you not to meddle. At worst, I'll give you another fifty thousand for your silence!" President Qian tempted.
"Hmph!"
Lin Fan snorted, "Do I look like I'm short of money?"
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Dare to ruin my plans, and with a single word from me, your Luofeng Village will never develop!" President Qian threatened.
Then, taking advantage of Lin Fan's distraction, he picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it at his head.
"Heh heh!"
Lin Fan sneered, and his figure instantly vanished from his spot.
Immediately after, he kicked President Qian to the ground again.
"Beast!"
Lin Fan cursed, while simultaneously releasing a surge of spiritual energy, rendering President Qian immobile.
He crouched down to examine Mimi's body.
He discovered that after several hours of incubation, the poison had already invaded Mimi's blood and nerves.
It would be very difficult to treat, and even for Lin Fan, it would require some time.
Mimi's current condition might not last until then.
"This is fate!"
Lin Fan sighed helplessly.
President Qian's eyes were almost popping out, "Lin Fan, damn it, let her go! She's mine! Mine!"
He had prepared for this day for so long.
He had even specifically arranged for the director to come up with a script for a mountain exploration.
Three months in total, costing tens of millions!
Just as the fruit was about to ripen, Lin Fan had appeared out of nowhere!
He hated it!
"I'm such an idiot, why did I have to choose Luofeng Village?!"
President Qian roared to the sky.
He could only watch helplessly as the woman who rightfully belonged to him was slowly taken away by Lin Fan.
...
Dawn broke.
The villagers of Luofeng Village were very diligent, heading out with their hoes to work early in the morning.
"Xiao Fan, where did you go? You didn't come back all night."
"Oh my, isn't that Mimi and President Qian?"
"President Qian, why do you look so dispirited?"
The villagers greeted them warmly.
Lin Fan, shirtless and only wearing shorts, was smiling happily.
Mimi, wearing his T-shirt, which was loose and baggy, covered her buttocks and exposed her thighs, was also smiling happily.
President Qian's suit was thick and covered in dirt, his head hung low, seemingly stimulated by something.
"President Qian, thank you for your medicine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found such a good man like Xiao Fan."
Mimi's cheerful words were like knives, deeply piercing President Qian's heart.
"Xiao Fan, you're too amazing. Will you be my boyfriend?"
Lin Fan smiled, "What's in it for me if I'm your boyfriend?"
Mimi rolled her eyes, "I'm a goddess to otaku! The number of people in the world who want to be my boyfriend could circle the Earth if they held hands. You should feel honored!"
"Do you know why the mountains in our Luofeng Village are so beautiful?" Lin Fan asked.
"Why?"
Mimi widened her confused eyes and looked at Lin Fan.
"Because Luofeng Mountain has an entire forest. If there was only one tree on this mountain, would you still think it's beautiful?" Lin Fan replied.
Mimi, not understanding his meaning, said boldly, "At worst, we can just do our own things from now on. If I need something, I'll come find you, how about that?"
"You two are simply... too shameless!"
President Qian couldn't help but speak, his voice choked with tears.
He felt like a complete fool, having planned for so long only to end up making wedding clothes for Lin Fan, and at a great loss!
Lin Fan smiled and comforted him, "President Qian, there are plenty of fish in the sea. If she doesn't like you, forcing it is useless. Besides, you're so rich, are you worried about not finding a beautiful woman?"
"Hmph!"
Mimi snorted coldly, still very angry about President Qian's actions.
President Qian shook his head, "Forget it, I won't look anymore. I've had enough of it all. I've seen through the world and plan to do charity work from now on."
"..."
Lin Fan was speechless.
It seemed that what happened last night had caused President Qian immense psychological trauma.
This was good, it could be considered doing a good deed for the world.
"Sister Mimi, you're back!"
The little assistant ran over. Upon seeing Mimi leaning on Lin Fan's arm, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.
"You two?"
She instinctively looked at President Qian.
What happened last night?
Shouldn't President Qian and Mimi be together?
Why was it Lin Fan now?
It wasn't just her; the entire film crew was curious.
They had personally seen President Qian take Mimi to Luofeng Mountain and knew what would happen.
They just didn't choose to expose it, as offending President Qian would mean no more funding for the film.
Luo Qiqi held Chu Zi's arm and sighed incredulously, "What kind of devil is this Lin Fan? How can any woman escape his grasp?"
It had only been a day, and he had already captured the otaku goddess Mimi!
If the otaku fans knew, Luofeng Village would probably be buried in razor blades!
"Qiqi, you're wrong. Aren't you and Chu Zi still safe?" Gao Lu teased.
Luo Qiqi pouted, "We are both ice-smart. We know Lin Fan is a quagmire! We are pure lotuses emerging from the mud, unstained!"
Gao Lu chuckled, "Listening to you, are you saying I'm a wilting flower deeply stuck in the mud?"
"Oh, Sister Lulu, you know I didn't mean that..."
Luo Qiqi didn't know how to explain and quickly avoided Gao Lu's gaze, remaining silent.
