"Then let me ask you one thing!" Lu Fan held Lin Ke in his arms. "Xiao Ke, will you marry me?"
"I..."
Lin Ke blushed, her eyes darting away. "I... I will!"
With that, Lu Fan held Lin Ke tightly. "I'm returning to Jiangnan tomorrow. If you have any difficulties in Jiangbei, remember to call me!"
"I'm about to become the woman of Lord Lu of Jiangnan, who would dare to trouble me!" Lin Ke chuckled. "Brother Lu Fan, don't worry."
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. Indeed, it was true. Lin Ke was about to become the woman of Lord Lu, and no one would dare to offend her.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile. "Our wedding will be held in a month. I will definitely bring you back to Jiangnan in grand style then!"
"I'll wait for you!" Lin Ke nodded, her heart deeply touched.
Lu Fan was the man she wanted to follow her entire life, and no matter what, she would never give up.
After staying in the courtyard for a long time, Lin Ke smiled and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back, otherwise Dad will worry!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression becoming even more serene. Grandma Guihua also stood up and said, "Be careful on your way back late at night, don't let anything happen!"
"Don't worry, Grandma, I'm driving, I'll be fine!"
Lin Ke smiled slightly and then headed towards her car.
After Lin Ke left, Lu Fan looked at Grandma Guihua. "Grandma, you'll be returning to Jiangnan with me tomorrow. But don't worry, after a month, Lin Ke will also return to Jiangnan, and you can return to Jiangbei with her then!"
"I don't mind, as long as you two are happy!" Grandma Guihua waved her hand, her expression even more indifferent.
Lu Fan also nodded slightly. If the Lin family hadn't been so anxious, Lu Fan wouldn't have proposed so early. The mastermind behind the five great families had not yet been found, and Lu Fan still felt a sense of unease.
Lin Ke left the courtyard and drove her car towards the Lin family. However, as she approached the Lin family, the road ahead was blocked, as if there had been a car accident.
Lin Ke was curious and got out of the car to investigate. As soon as she got out, more than ten figures surrounded her. These were all burly men, and none of them looked like good people. Each of them looked at Lin Ke with ill intentions.
"All of you, get out of the way!" the scar-faced man's voice rang out. "If I'm not mistaken, you are Miss Lin, right?"
"Who are you?" Lin Ke stepped back, more vigilant.
"We take money to solve problems. Since you are Miss Lin, you should come with us!" the scar-faced man smiled. "I won't do anything to Miss Lin, so please rest assured."
"Since you know my identity, you shouldn't have touched me!" Lin Ke said coldly. "If my father finds out, you won't be able to handle the consequences. After all, the Lin family has considerable power in the entire Jiangbei!"
"Are you threatening me, Miss Lin?" the scar-faced man chuckled. "If we were afraid, we wouldn't be here. We've been waiting all night. You'd better be sensible, or you'll suffer!"
Lin Ke's face turned ashen, but she didn't dare to say more. These were desperate men. She didn't know why they were here. All she could do now was protect herself.
"Big brother, he has a phone, and it seems he's already called someone!" one of the men said.
"Damn it, even now he's not being honest!"
The scar-faced man stepped forward, slapped Lin Ke across the face, snatched her phone, and smashed it on the ground.
Lin Ke felt a sharp pain on her face and immediately fainted.
One of the men looked at her graceful figure with greed in his eyes. However, as he was about to step forward, he was kicked away by the scar-faced man. "You idiot, this is someone the higher-ups want. How dare you lay a hand on her!"
"Big brother, he's here. Why don't you let the brothers have some fun!" the man said. "After all, it's a rare opportunity."
"What do you know? She's a cash cow. If you really do anything to her, the Lin family won't let you off easily. Forget about you, even I wouldn't dare to do that!" the scar-faced man said coldly. "You'd better be honest. We take money to solve problems, so don't do anything you shouldn't, especially since this person is not ordinary!"
The men nodded and didn't say anything more. Although they were unwilling, they could only comply. Su Dan Novel Network.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Fan's phone was answered, but just as he was about to speak, Lin Ke's phone was turned off, and he couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried.
"Xiao Fan, who was calling!" Grandma Guihua asked. "My eyelids have been twitching. Is something wrong with Xiao Ke?"
"Don't worry, Grandma, Xiao Ke will be fine!" Lu Fan smiled lightly. "I'll go and check now!"
Grandma Guihua nodded. "Be careful late at night!"
Lu Fan nodded and then left his home. Lin Ke had never been like this. Now that it had come to this, with her phone off, something must have happened.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at the Lin family. However, before he could enter, he was stopped by two bodyguards. "No appointment, no unauthorized entry into the Lin family!"
"I have an urgent matter. Is Lin Ke here?" Lu Fan said in a deep voice.
Before the two bodyguards could speak, a sharp voice rang out. "You're quite bold to try and force your way into the Lin family!"
"Lin Haitao, I don't have that much free time. Has Lin Ke returned?" Lu Fan said coldly. "If something happens to her, you won't be able to escape responsibility."
"Don't just make baseless accusations. She's now the person of Lord Lu of Jiangbei, what can I do to her?" Lin Haitao said coldly. "Besides, she's about to be married. What does she have to do with you?"
"Too much nonsense!"
Without another word, Lu Fan rushed inside. The two bodyguards stepped forward to stop him but were sent flying by Lu Fan's palm. Such weaklings were insignificant in Lu Fan's eyes.
Lin Haitao stood by, even more shocked. He never expected Lu Fan to have such skills. With just a slight push, he could send two bodyguards flying with no ability to resist.
Arriving at the Lin family courtyard, Lu Fan walked directly towards Lin Aotian's room.
"This is outright lawlessness! Beat him out with sticks!"
Lin Haitao shouted loudly and looked at the other bodyguards. As the young master of the Lin family, he held considerable authority within the family.
However, at this moment, Lin Aotian walked out. Seeing Lu Fan, he also looked guilty. He knew very well that Lin Ke had chosen Lord Lu of Jiangnan, which made it difficult for him to handle.
"Has Lin Ke returned?" Lu Fan asked. "She called me earlier, and now her phone has been off all this time."
"She hasn't returned since she left!" Lin Aotian said anxiously. "How could this happen!"
