Lin Fan rushed forward and delivered a flying kick to one of the men.
He sent the person flying backward.
With a bang, the man landed heavily on the ground.
Coincidentally, the ground was covered with broken glass from the man’s earlier rampage. The shards pierced his backside.
"Ah!"
The man immediately jumped up in pain.
Seeing Lin Fan, Li Erhu felt a pang of fear and showed a timid expression.
However, with Boss Sun backing him, he mustered his courage and shouted, "Go! Teach him a lesson!"
The group of hooligans immediately shifted their attention to Lin Fan.
Looking at the dormitory, which they had trashed, Lin Fan’s anger flared.
These men were truly despicable. Unable to defeat him, they resorted to vandalism in his absence.
The hooligans quickly surrounded Lin Fan.
Lin Fan glared at Li Erhu, "I should have crippled you last time, so you wouldn't cause trouble again."
Li Erhu sneered, "Let me tell you, I, Li Erhu, am not to be trifled with. You dare hit me, and you'll regret it!"
"This time, you’ve also angered a big boss. You're finished!"
Lin Fan roared, "I'm very angry right now, and the consequences will be severe!"
Seeing his reddened eyes, two of the hooligans got scared. This kid was clearly ready to fight for his life!
Lin Fan stopped wasting words and charged forward.
The first few hooligans tried to subdue Lin Fan. One grabbed his leg, another his waist, preventing him from exerting force.
Lin Fan grabbed one of the men with both hands and flung him away.
This man also landed on the broken glass.
Lin Fan grabbed another man and threw him away with equal force.
A total of six panes of glass were broken across three dorm rooms, with shards scattered all over the floor.
Lin Fan, with quick hands, threw all the hooligans onto the broken glass.
Each of them was pricked and bleeding, groaning in pain.
Li Erhu turned and fled.
How could Lin Fan let the instigator escape so easily? He lunged forward and kicked Li Erhu in the backside.
It seemed that crippling Li Erhu last time and making him unable to be a man was too good a deal for him.
"Li Erhu, I think you not only don't want to be a man, but you also don't want to be human. I'll grant your wish!"
With that, Lin Fan stomped on a crucial acupoint on Li Erhu's lower back.
This kick would leave him partially paralyzed from the waist down.
"Ah!"
Li Erhu lay on the ground in agony, unable to move.
Lin Fan stomped on his face, "Where is Boss Sun? Call him here!"
Li Erhu quickly begged for mercy, "Let me go, and I'll call him right away."
He struggled to take out his phone and dialed a number.
"Boss Sun, please come to Luofeng Village quickly!"
When Boss Sun heard his voice, it was on the verge of tears. He knew something was seriously wrong.
His men were no match for Lin Fan?
How was that possible?
Boss Sun’s mind raced. Luofeng Village was Lin Fan's territory. He would surely be at a disadvantage if he went there.
He immediately hung up the phone.
Hearing the dialing tone, Li Erhu was close to tears.
These big shots made grand promises when recruiting, but they ran faster than anyone else when trouble arose!
"A bunch of fools!" Lin Fan scoffed.
Faced with Lin Fan's contemptuous gaze, the hooligans were speechless. Lin Fan had hit the nail on the head.
Now that Boss Sun refused to show up, what else could they do?
"I'll let this incident slide for now. All of you, get out!"
"If the students see you after school, I won't let you off!"
With a final warning, Lin Fan left with Xia Xue.
Xia Xue sounded worried, "Xiao Fan, did you go too far?"
"They deserved it!" Lin Fan stated firmly.
——
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Erhu called his subordinates, the local villagers like Huang Mao.
However, after several calls, none of them were willing to come. In the end, only Huang Mao showed up.
Li Erhu felt a pang of sorrow. He used to be doing well, how did things turn out this way?
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Mao asked with confusion.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take me home! Carry me!"
Huang Mao was a bit reluctant, but out of old acquaintance, he carried Li Erhu.
As for Boss Sun’s henchmen, they had only sustained minor injuries from the broken glass. They got up from the ground and fled in disarray.
Upon arriving at Li Erhu's home, Huang Mao frowned and said, "Brother Li, don't contact me anymore. Everyone is telling me not to associate with you, or I'll be terribly unlucky!"
Even his only subordinate was leaving. Li Erhu was on the verge of tears.
——
Xiao Fan's Medical Hall.
Lin Fan told Song Mengling and Lin Fang about the incident with the dorm rooms.
The two women were greatly surprised.
"Who did this?"
"Don't you worry about that. This is my problem. You should think about where you're going to live these days," Lin Fan sighed.
The two women looked distressed. They didn't know anyone in Luofeng Village, so where could they find a place to stay?
Seeing their helplessness, Lin Fan said, "If you have no other options, I'll help you think of something."
"Can you find a place?"
Lin Fang looked at Lin Fan pitifully.
"If all else fails, I'll buy a house."
This meant that the money he had saved recently would be spent again.
"It seems like that's the only solution."
Lin Fang looked at Lin Fan with an apologetic expression.
"I'm really sorry for making you spend money."
Song Mengling, however, looked at Lin Fan coldly, "Aren't you the one who should apologize? Did they come for you? You made enemies outside, and they took revenge on you, but ended up retaliating against us."
"You should think before you act. Don't put us in danger! It's just that we weren't in the dorms this time, otherwise, who knows what would have happened!"
Lin Fang pulled Song Mengling's arm, "Mengling, Lin Fan lent us the dorm room in the first place. You should say less."
"So what if he lent it to us? The problem was caused by him!" Song Mengling stated righteously.
Lin Fan didn't want to argue, "It is indeed my problem."
"There's a house for sale in the village. I'll buy it, and you can stay there temporarily. Once the dormitory at the health center is built, you can move in."
The seller was in a hurry, so Lin Fan bought the house for fifteen thousand yuan, which was originally priced at twenty thousand.
However, the house had its issues.
Unlike the dormitories at Hope Primary School, which had kitchens designed like city apartments with induction cooktops, gas stoves, and plumbing, this new house had a traditional rural setup with a mud stove and hearth.
Cooking required chopping firewood and tending to a fire.
Young women with delicate skin and tender flesh wouldn't know how to do these things. After moving in their luggage, they were dumbfounded.
Jiang Eduxue could barely endure it, but Song Mengling exploded.
Lin Fan was helpless. After some thought, he spoke to Xia Xue about the matter.
"Sister-in-law, if you're not too busy, could you help them with cooking?"
"Sure, it's not a troublesome task."
Xia Xue agreed without hesitation.
