Chapter 396: Loss?
"Are you sure he'll come?" A man asked Li Fan Sho, who stood outside a factory that held merchandise worth more than five billion yuan. It was a simple bait for the one who would be coming to exact his revenge.
"He will. He definitely will." Li Fan Sho replied before he thought back to the instructions he received from the spirits around him.
Wei Jun had been a thorn in Li Fan Sho's side for a long time so Li Fan Sho came up with a scheme. He learned everything there was to know about Wei Jun Ruan which wasn't much. About a year ago, Wei Jun Ruan was nothing but a waste but in just a short span of a year, Wei jun had become a figure that had problems with almost everyone and his backing was also great.
Since the military announced its open support for Wei Jun, even Li Fan Sho couldn't take him lightly. Wei Jun had power to back up his worth as well so Li Fan Sho decided to opt to a method that couldn't be backed up by power.
A method that would grant Li Fan Sho to kill Wei Jun without incurring the wrath of the supernatural forces of the world.
The democracy.
"Be prepared. He will attack one of our business modules. We need a legitimate reason to take him down."
Li Fan Sho's plan was simple. If Wei Jun was the first person to initiate this dispute, and if Li Fan Sho was able to catch him in the act, painting himself as the victim, even the military wouldn't have a choice to butt in.
Li Fan Sho smiled and waited for the impulse reaction from Wei Jun which he suspected wouldn't take long considering Wei Jun was an impatient young man who only used his family's influence to rise up to that point.
With Sun Ruan, the true mastermind of the Ruan family dead, there was nothing holding Wei Jun back anymore.
Wei Jun was bound to make a mistake. Even if he were to show up in his outfit as a biker which was still just a suspicion, Li Fan Sho was sure he could take care of him.
While Li Fan Sho was waiting for Wei Jun for a day and night, putting some of his plans on hold, he received a phone call from an unknown caller ID.
As he answered...
"Sniffsss... HuHu..."
Sniffles and cries of a woman he was well familiar with could be heard on the call he just received. But just to be sure, he asked, "Who is this?"
"Who do you think?" A distorted voice was heard from the other side, a voice with the blend of a male, a female, and a heavy voice like that of a monster in movies. The voice asked, "Do you recognize the cries?"
"They're familiar, aren't they?"
"You..." Li Fan Sho said with the air around him distorting, his Qi emitting from him, burning many things around him, pushing the people near him away.
"Do you think you will live after this?" Li Fan Sho asked.
"Don't know about me, but your sister surely wouldn't." The distorted voice from the other side replied before it said, "Now you have two hours to find her. Otherwise, someone else will find a rotting corpse soon."
The call soon disconnected and Li Fan Sho was left in silence. The calm before the storm, it was, because soon, a storm of Qi ensued, blowing everything away, even the five billion yuan worth of merchandise and many more people who couldn't bear the brunt of that Qi.
On the other side, Wei Jun ended the call and look at Yan Rong who was looking at him with an incredulous look in her voice.
"How can you mimic a woman's voice?" Yan Rong asked.
"Practice." Wei Jun replied.
Before Yan Rong could ask anything, a feminine voice entered their ear, "Come on, you two. Tea is ready."
"Coming~ Miss Su~" Yan Rong said and looked at the child playing a little distance away and said, "Come on~ Little Ling. Time for some cookies and tea~"
Wei Jun looked at the kid running in their direction with a cheerful expression on his face and asked, "What do you think about kids?"
"I love them." Yan Rong didn't hesitate before she replied.
"Why do you ask?" Yan Rong asked curiously.
"No reason." Wei Jun replied before he stored the phone in his inventory. With it gone from the face of this world, it would be impossible to trace it. and to help facilitate that process, Wei Jun called someone else.
"Yes, boss?" Li Wei asked from the other side.
"Do it." Wei Jun replied.
"Yes, boss." Li Wei replied in a cheerful voice.
Wei Jun turned the phone off and looked at Su Liao, "Why don't you ladies enjoy? I have an urgent task to take care of."
"Sure. I know how busy you are Mister Ruan." Su Liao replied with a smile. Wei Jun nodded and looked at Yan Rong. Yan Rong nodded without a word and joined Su Liao.
Wei Jun left for his car which took him to the helicopter a few miles away. As he boarded the helicopter, he said to the pilot, "Set destination. Long Bao City."
The pilot nodded and left for the set destination.

"The biker has contacted us." Commander Yan was in his office when a subordinate of his hurriedly entered and said, "He wants to make a deal."
"What? What do you mean by a deal?" Commander Yan asked. He couldn't be impulsive now that Wei Jun, the suspected biker, was now under the radar of the elder. They couldn't risk making an enemy out of him.
"He says he will return all of the data he stole from us." The subordinate replied.
"And what does he want in return?" Commander Yan asked.
"He wants us to remain silent about Long Bao city." The subordinate replied.
"What about Long Bao City?" Commander Yan asked.
"No idea." The subordinate replied.
"..." Commander Yan remained silent for a while before he looked at the subordinate and said, "Tell him we will not be responsible for the backlash."
If the CSF were to do nothing, the public backlash would be a little too much for the CSF. Even if the information was returned, if the public lost any further trust in them, it was no use trying to keep the CSF up.
"He..." The subordinate replied before he added after a slight pause, "has an answer for that as well."
"What?" Commander Yan asked.
Just as he did...
Boommm!!!!!
An explosion shook the entire world and soon, several others followed, shaking the ground beyond measure.
"What the..." Commander Yan looked at the explosions recurring around the CSF facility and couldn't help but look at the subordinate who replied, "He, uh, said... 'defend'."
"That fu*k" Commander Yan could only say.

"Where is she?" Li Fan Sho looked at the figure in a black outfit, its face covered and tightly covered so he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. The height of the figure indicated it was a man so Li Fan Sho was more leaning toward the identity of the figure being a man.
"Who knows." But the voice of the figure was that of a woman's, quite a charming one at that.
"I was just told to hold you here." The dark clothed woman replied before a sword appeared in her hand, and readied herself by assuming a proper stance.
Li Fan Sho looked at her without any worry and asked, "Are you on the side of that bastard, Wei Jun Ruan?"
"..." The woman remained silent.
"Tch!" Li Fan Sho clicked his tongue and was about to move when his eyes widened and the woman with the sword in her hand appeared before him in an instant, her figure shrouded in a pink hue.
Li Fan Sho immediately raised his hand and blocked the sword with his bare hand, his hand covered in a dense amount of Qi.
However, just as he pushed back and the woman was pushed back a little, Li Fan Sho felt something. Something deep inside of him. Something... inherent.
"Who are you?" Li Fan Sho asked but the woman remained quiet.
Li Fan Sho once again tried to feel the changes inside of him but he couldn't tell. However, his opponent wasn't too keen on granting him such a long reprieve.
She moved again, her sword moving in exquisite patterns that even made it difficult for Li Fan Sho to follow. Still, he was fast enough to fight before the attack landed on him so he was unscathed, unaffected by the technique of the woman.
However...
Cut.
A slight cut appeared on his cheek as the pink-colored Qi, a little different from the usual, penetrated his cheek.
Not holding back anymore, he emitted a strong wave of Qi to push the woman back but just as he did, he felt it again.
The feeling of loss.
As if something had been taken away from him.
And while he felt that, puzzled by the strange feeling, a lot, lot of distance of away, a man was smiling from ear to ear as something appeared in his vision...
