Wu Tao Wen Guan

Chapter 736 Strange Plainclothes

"Don't worry about the money, I have it."

Lin Fan's help was like divine intervention for Xue Xiaolong.

On this street, there were also KTVs and bars, so entertainment venues were not lacking.

After dinner, Lin Fan took Xue Xiaolong to a bar to give him courage with some drinks.

"Remember, you are the one spending money, so be a bit assertive then."

"Yes, big brother, you are my big brother from now on! I never thought that at thirty-five, I would still have a chance to touch a woman. Thank you, big brother!"

Just thinking about it made Xue Xiaolong excited.

When evening came, Lin Fan contacted a girl.

She was not bad looking, with standard features and a good figure.

However, her price was not low, a hefty two thousand yuan!

Although he felt a pang of reluctance, it was worth it if it could cure the patient.

Lin Fan could tell that Xue Xiaolong was a decent person. He had only done some sneaky bad deeds, nothing too outrageous.

Such a person could still be saved.

The girl was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

For a thirty-five-year-old Xue Xiaolong, this age was simply perfect.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan was drinking alone at the bar.

Listening to the noisy music and the screams of the people around him, he couldn't help but sigh.

A bar was a microcosm of the city, where a group of people gathered to vent the immense pressures of their lives and work.

Finally, they could go wild.

On the dance floor, two men were yelling, "More! More!"

Bottle after bottle of beer was opened, splashed onto the dancers, and some men even took the opportunity to grope them.

These dancers didn't seem to care, their movements becoming even wilder.

"Drinking alone?"

A man sat down next to Lin Fan and struck up a conversation.

Lin Fan turned to look. The man was about twenty-five, tall and thin, dressed in black casual wear.

The young man snapped his fingers, "Get me a depth charge, whiskey with a draft beer, and one for this gentleman too, on me."

He said to the bartender with a hearty tone.

Then he looked back at Lin Fan, "It's not often someone comes to a bar alone. What's wrong, heartbroken?"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Do you have to be emotionally troubled to come for a drink?"

"Isn't that the case? Drowning your sorrows, numbing yourself with alcohol, bringing yourself a happy mood. Ninety-nine percent of people in this bar are here for pleasure, and alcohol is the best catalyst."

The young man was quite eloquent, his tone and choice of words revealed his education.

"My name is Lin Fan, what's yours?" Lin Fan asked.

"Hu Zhongguo," the young man replied.

And so, the two of them met.

The waiter brought the drinks.

Hu Zhongguo downed his in one gulp and then said, "Lin Fan, that's a very meaningful name!"

Lin Fan smiled, "I'm from the countryside. People in the countryside name their children casually; there's no special meaning. You're overthinking it."

"You don't look like you're from the countryside!"

Hu Zhongguo was inwardly surprised. This Lin Fan's unfathomable aura didn't seem like that of a country person at all. Even if he lived in the countryside, he would be like an otherworldly master.

"What do you do?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Guess."

It was evident that Hu Zhongguo was a humorous and witty person, a smile playing on his lips that held considerable charm.

"From your earlier demeanor, alcohol is a good medicine for you to numb your nerves."

"That means you're under a lot of mental pressure."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're an undercover officer, investigating something, right?"

Lin Fan guessed.

Hu Zhongguo was stunned.

After a long moment, he said, "I was right about you. You're definitely not an ordinary person!"

Lin Fan frowned, "You're not here for a vice raid, are you?"

Thinking of Xue Xiaolong still in the hotel upstairs, Lin Fan felt a little guilty.

At this moment, Hu Zhongguo received a phone call and immediately said, "I have something urgent to attend to, I can't chat anymore. See you around."

He took out two hundred yuan, threw it on the table, and left in a hurry.

Lin Fan saw that it was getting late and left the bar as well.

It was past eleven o'clock at night.

The bar was still lively, everyone having a great time.

However, some couples were also heading out.

They had already paired up and were looking for hotels.

Some impatient men had already started getting handsy.

Others had drunk too much and vomited as soon as they came out.

There were even two girls who had collapsed on the ground, completely passed out.

A few shifty-looking men's eyes lit up at the sight of such girls, but they didn't rush forward. Instead, they observed from a distance, waiting for an opportunity.

Perhaps these two girls weren't attractive enough, and they were waiting for other prey.

"Sigh~"

Lin Fan shook his head and sighed, not wanting to get involved.

Because he couldn't possibly intervene in everything, and besides, they had only themselves to blame.

Any woman with a shred of sense wouldn't get so drunk without her boyfriend by her side.

"Ah! Mmmph mmmph..."

Suddenly, a faint scream came from not far away, catching Lin Fan's attention.

It was a woman's voice, her mouth seemingly covered.

With his excellent hearing, Lin Fan instantly understood what was happening.

He dashed towards the sound and soon arrived in a small alley.

There, he saw two men accosting a woman.

One man was holding the woman from behind, while the other was covering her mouth.

If that was the case, Lin Fan couldn't just stand by.

"Behave yourself, or I'll rape and kill you!"

The woman showed no signs of complying and kept struggling.

Slap!

The man in front raised his hand and slapped her hard.

As if stunned by fear, the woman stopped struggling.

"Two grown men bullying a woman, isn't that a bit much!"

A powerful voice boomed, deafeningly loud.

"Who?!"

The two men turned around simultaneously, their eyes meeting Lin Fan's icy gaze.

They were a little flustered at first, but upon seeing it was just a young kid, they relaxed.

"Punk, get lost! You're ruining my fun, I'll kill you!"

Their arrogant demeanor showed they didn't take Lin Fan seriously at all.

Lin Fan didn't waste any words and charged forward, kicking one of them down.

The other, seeing this, immediately pulled a dagger from his waist.

The dagger wasn't long, about ten centimeters, glinting sharply and looking very keen.

He brandished it in front of Lin Fan.

"You dare hit my brother? I'll stab you to death!"

The result...

Lin Fan threw a punch and sent him flying.

"Damn it! You're dishonorable!"

The two men cried tears of regret. This kid clearly attacked them by surprise!

He made his move while they were talking.

However, they knew they were no match for Lin Fan.

After getting up from the ground, they turned and ran for their lives.

As they ran, they yelled, "If you've got the guts, wait for me!"

"No need to wait, let's do it now!"

Lin Fan gave chase like lightning.

Seeing this, the two men were so terrified they almost lost their souls.

They immediately ran for their lives with all their might!
