Chapter 242 I'll go with you
Shangguan Yue's villa.
After Aunt Wang left, Ling Fan gave Li Shishi a meaningful look, asking her to comfort Shangguan Yue. Under their guidance, Shangguan Yue soon felt much better.
At this moment, Ling Fan was in the room, administering acupuncture to Dong Ying, while Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue stayed aside, not daring to make a single sound of disturbance.
"Don't worry, if this guy dared to take on this delicate task, he must have the skills to back it up!" Li Shishi reassured a visibly tense Shangguan Yue.
"Mhm!" Shangguan Yue pursed her lips and nodded, both nervous and excited inside.
Ling Fan's Beast Pouch was already equipped with Silver Needles, essential for the special technique, Divine Moxibustion Technique, mentioned in the Limitless Secret Tome.
Just then, Li Shishi's phone started vibrating.
"I'll take this call!" Li Shishi picked up the phone.
Seeing it was a call from home and not wanting to disturb Ling Fan, she quietly signaled to Shangguan Yue and then stepped out to take the call.
A short while later, Ling Fan finished administering the needles and placed a Medicine Pill into Dong Ying's mouth for her to swallow.
The whole ordeal lasted nearly two hours. "All set. I'll administer the needles once a day, and she should wake up in three days. She should be fully recovered in about a week!"
"Thank you!" Shangguan Yue hurriedly said, her heart so full of gratitude that she didn't know how to express it.
"All these thanks—remember, we had a deal beforehand. It's only what I should do!" Ling Fan teased.
Just as he finished speaking, Li Shishi walked in, her face pale.
"Hmm? Are you alright?" Ling Fan frowned, seeing Li Shishi's complexion, something must have happened.
Li Shishi pursed her lips, her face pale as she said, "It was a call from home. The Ge Family seems to have found my family's address. They weren't clear over the phone, but it seems serious. They asked me to come back immediately!"
"Oh? They found your house?" Ling Fan was slightly taken aback.
He hadn't expected the other party to take his words so lightly and to act so swiftly. Since the issue was related to him, he couldn't just ignore it.
"Ling Fan, would you... come back with me? I'm a bit scared on my own!" Li Shishi said weakly.
Shangguan Yue also showed signs of nervousness and worried for Li Shishi, "Ling Fan, maybe you should go with Li Shishi. Don't worry about me here, they probably won't come bothering me!"
Ling Fan took a deep breath, pondering for a moment, "Stay at home and don't go anywhere. Call me if anything happens. They should be targeting me right now, there's no reason for them to harm you. These idiots, if they provoke me too much, I might as well eliminate the Ge Family entirely."
"Then be careful!" Shangguan Yue cautioned.
"Mhm, don't worry, they're just ants, I'll go with you!" Ling Fan responded and then spoke calmly to Li Shishi.
...
About a kilometer away from Shangguan Yue's villa, two middle-aged men with hawk noses and shabby appearances were crouching on a building, using high-powered binoculars to observe Shangguan Yue's villa.
"Tian Xuan, the person is coming out!" a man said, spotting a vehicle through the binoculars.
"Should we follow them?"
"I'll follow. There should still be someone inside. Go and grab them; it could save our lives in a crucial moment!" the man known as Tian Xuan instructed.
"Isn't that a bit much? The two of us together should be able to handle that trash. According to the data, this guy really isn't worth our effort. If it weren't for the bounty, I wouldn't have agreed to this job!" the other man chuckled.
"Di Ming, your old problem has flared up again. What if the information is wrong? We lick blood off knife edges, how can we afford to be careless and joke about our own lives?"
"We just happen to be in Myanmar on a mission, not too far from here, which allows us to arrive at the first opportunity.
"Besides, we are only one billion US Dollar S-class bounty away from advancing to the next AS level, and it's just a step away from the SS level. We can't miss this opportunity!" Tian Xuan cautioned.
"Yeah, don't worry. I was just belittling it verbally. I've studied this information, and I've also secretly inquired about the employer who posted it.
It is said that it was the son of a big figure in Huaxia who accidentally fell into this person's hands, which could have been handled by that big figure's own family.
However, the head of that family, driven mad with rage, desperately wants this young man dead immediately and can't wait a moment longer.
That's why they posted an S-class bounty in the underworld. In fact, this guy is probably only worth a billion. This mission is definitely the easiest in history!" Di Ming confidently stated.
"This time, it actually benefits us. It's like picking up an S-class mission for free!"
"Yeah, wrap it up quickly. People like us are not welcome in Huaxia; let's leave as soon as we're done!
"Also, unless something unexpected happens, there should be others vying for this juicy prize. Don't let it be snatched away.
It seems the young man has also offended a local power, which we might exploit nicely!" Tian Xuan added a caution.
Immediately, he leaped down from the roof of the villa, diving into a car and chasing in one direction.
Di Ming also gathered his equipment, pouncing toward Shangguan Yue's villa like a civet.
These two are first-tier assassins in the underworld, known by the nickname 'Xuan Ming Dead Souls,' and are quite notorious within the assassin circles of the underworld.
A task taken by them hardly ever fails. They had just recently accepted a bounty published by Tang Hongyi in the underworld.
Tang Hongyi, having lost his beloved son, had a mental breakdown, thus he spared no expense in posting an S-class bounty, determined to ensure Ling Fan's certain death!
...
"You don't need to worry. With me here, I assure you that neither you nor your family will suffer any harm!" Ling Fan comforted Li Shishi, who was driving with a tense face.
"Yeah, I feel at ease with you here. I hope they don't harm my parents!" Li Shishi pressed down hard on the accelerator, no longer caring about speeding.
Hu Suxin on the phone hadn't made things clear, her words were all over the place, and Li Shishi had only caught half of it, mistakenly thinking that the Ge Family had already gone to her parents' house to threaten them.
A few minutes later, Li Shishi, driving the Porsche at breakneck speed, pulled up in front of the gate of Li Family Villa, unbuckled her seatbelt, and rushed into the villa with Ling Fan.

"Just received the news, that kid seems to have left Shangguan Yue's residence in Li Shishi's car. It looks like he's heading back to the Li Family with Li Shishi!" Immediately, a man hurriedly reported to Ge Yingwu.
"Damn it, he went to the Li Family? Tell the brothers to grab their weapons. He thinks he can fight? Well, let's see if he can outfight bullets!" Ge Yingwu cursed coldly, striding out of the living room.
At the same time, Ge Chusheng also had gathered the head of the Jing Family Martial Association at a private club.
"Minister Jing, I've unexpectedly come into certain information regarding your Jing Family. I don't know if it's of any use to you, but it seemed important, so I urgently summoned you here!" Ge Chusheng solemnly said to the man in front of him.
The man immediately raised his eyebrows. They were fairly familiar with each other, and he knew what Ge Chusheng was like. Secrets about his Jing Family known by Ge Chusheng?
"Oh? I'd like to hear more. What secrets about my Jing Family are you referring to?" Jing Chun asked curiously.
