A stormy bout!

The battle on the waterbed, it had to be said, had a flavor all its own!

After the storm, Qiu Ruohan quickly straightened her clothes, like a little rabbit that had done something wrong!

Lin Fan looked at Qiu Ruohan and couldn’t stop chuckling!

Qiu Ruohan shot Lin Fan a coquettish glare and said, "You’re still laughing. What if someone heard us?"

"The soundproofing in this room can’t be that bad, right?" Lin Fan said casually. He fished out a cigarette, stuck it in his mouth, lit it, and took a long drag!

Truly, that post-coital cigarette is better than being an immortal god!

"The soundproofing is fine, but... ah! There are people outside everywhere. If my outer clothes accidentally... that’d be so embarrassing!" Qiu Ruohan said.

"You’re unmarried, I’m unmarried, men and women having fun—totally normal." Lin Fan shrugged with a grin.

"Lin, you..."

Qiu Ruohan clenched her tiny fist and waved it at Lin Fan in a mock threat, then said, "From now on this kind of thing... can we do it at home, or a hotel is fine too!"

"Oh? Seriously? How about tonight... I book us a room at a love hotel?" Lin Fan gave Qiu Ruohan a suggestive wink!

"Ugh! Lin, you’re so bad!"

Qiu Ruohan let out a coquettish cry and, shy and flustered, ran out of the room!

Lin Fan just smiled without saying anything. He had to admit, whenever he was with Qiu Ruohan, his mood was always great, because this girl’s pure innocence made him, along with her, forget all his troubles!

Ring ring ring~

Just then, Lin Fan’s phone rang. It was a call from Nie Lei!

"What is it, Leizi?" Lin Fan asked after answering.

"Boss, where are you? I’ve got good news for you!" Nie Lei’s excited laughter came through immediately!

"I’m at the Beauty Empire, come pick me up," Lin Fan said.

"Got it!"

Nie Lei nodded and hung up!

When he’d finished his cigarette, Lin Fan got dressed, went to the office to say a quick goodbye to Qiu Ruohan, and, under Qiu Ruohan’s reluctant gaze, headed downstairs!

Lin Fan hadn’t been waiting long outside the main entrance of the Beauty Empire when a black sedan shot over like a whirlwind. When it neared him, the car did a stylish drift and came to a steady stop right in front of him!

Needless to say, the driver was Nie Lei!

Lin Fan pulled the door open and got in. Nie Lei handed him a cigarette and lit it for him, then lit one for himself and stuck it in his own mouth!

Lin Fan took a deep drag, flicked the ash, and said, "What’s the good news?"

"Boss, Mitsubishi Heiqi has kicked the bucket!" Nie Lei said with an excited laugh.

"Everything was within expectations. It’s just that his date of death came a bit earlier than I’d predicted," Lin Fan nodded.

"But Boss, there’s one more thing you’ll never guess." A strange expression came over Nie Lei’s face.

"What is it?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Guess who else, besides Mitsubishi Heiqi, has gone to see the King of Hell? Haha! When I heard the news, I was stunned for a good while!" Nie Lei said, already bursting into hearty laughter!

Lin Fan said, "Cut the crap and get to the point."

Nie Lei hurriedly said, "Besides Mitsubishi Heiqi, his wife, and Mitsubishi Heize’s wife and women have all croaked too, and they died the exact same way as Mitsubishi Heiqi!"

"The exact same way?"

Lin Fan really did freeze for a moment!

The chronic poison he’d planted in Mitsubishi Heiqi was a specialty of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. After being swallowed, it wouldn’t take effect for three days. It would start as a cold and fever, then progress to full-body itching, and finally the body would begin to rot from the inside out!

However, this poison couldn’t be spread via saliva or through the air. The only transmission route was through sex!

It was understandable that Mitsubishi Heiqi’s wife was poisoned and died, but for Mitsubishi Heize’s wife and daughter to also...

Without needing it spelled out, how could Lin Fan not know what was going on!

"Never thought Mitsubishi Heiqi was that vicious. He even dared to play with his own big brother’s woman and daughter—what a fucking beast," Lin Fan said with a disdainful smirk.

"Boss, now that Mitsubishi Heiqi is dead, there are no direct heirs left in the Mitsubishi Clan. The collateral branches that want to take over the Mitsubishi Conglomerate will definitely fight till their heads are broken and blood is flowing. The Mitsubishi Conglomerate is now leaderless. This is the perfect time for us to make our move!" Nie Lei laughed.

"Exactly. Now really is the best time. We can’t give the Mitsubishi Conglomerate any chance to catch its breath!"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then continued, "Notify all the brothers in the Suicide Squad to lay low and be careful for a while. If we really take control of the Mitsubishi Conglomerate and become one of the world’s three major conglomerates, we’re bound to step on some people’s interests. To keep them from targeting our brothers, during this period, no matter what, they mustn’t cause trouble or be high-profile!"

"Understood! I’ll inform all the brothers when we get back!" Nie Lei said.

"Good. First take me to Yanyu Group," Lin Fan said.

Nie Lei nodded and stepped hard on the accelerator. The car shot out like an arrow from a bowstring!

When they arrived at the Yanyu Group building, Lin Fan went inside. By now, everyone at Yanyu Group knew Lin Fan’s name. He kept greeting people he knew as he passed, and others greeted him as well!

He went up to the top floor, to Su Yanyu’s office. As usual, Lin Fan didn’t bother knocking and pushed the door open directly!

When Su Yanyu saw Lin Fan, she asked in puzzlement, "What are you doing here?"

"Have you heard about what’s happening with the Mitsubishi Conglomerate?" Lin Fan cut straight to the point.

"I’ve already heard. Mitsubishi Heiqi and his wife, as well as Mitsubishi Heize’s wife and daughter, are all dead. Right now the whole Mitsubishi Conglomerate is leaderless and in chaos. Many minor forces that were vassals under the Mitsubishi Conglomerate are breaking away and looking for a new backer!" Su Yanyu said.

"Exactly. Now is the perfect time for us to take the Mitsubishi Conglomerate in one stroke. While the small vassal forces under them haven’t all broken away yet, if we take over the Mitsubishi Conglomerate now, it’s equivalent to obtaining a massive conglomerate wholesale!"

"After all, a conglomerate isn’t powerful purely because of its own strength. Those small forces who are its vassals are also a terrifying source of power. As the saying goes, many hands make light work!"

Lin Fan quickly laid out all the pros and cons to Su Yanyu!

"Alright! I’ll immediately convene a board meeting and prepare to take down the Mitsubishi Conglomerate!" Su Yanyu hurriedly stood up, grabbed the phone on her desk, and dialed out.

Lin Fan continued, "When we move to take over the Mitsubishi Conglomerate, do it in my name. That way a lot of people will be wary of my identity and won’t dare to interfere. Many of those small vassal forces also won’t look down on a ’fallen’ Mitsubishi Conglomerate and will be willing to stay!"

"Okay! I’ll act according to your plan!" Su Yanyu agreed without the slightest hesitation!

"Whether Yanyu Group can soar in one leap and become one of the world’s three major conglomerates, and whether my commercial empire can take shape because of this... all depends on this gamble!"

Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes!
