Chapter 291 Heading to Gang City

Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Heading to Gang City

Chen Fan had given Shen Lingdie a talisman that, once crushed, would instantly release a force enveloping her entire body.

Through this force, Chen Fan could clearly sense Shen Lingdie’s location and her physical condition.

If Shen Lingdie were to face a life-threatening danger, this force would coalesce and explode outward, repelling those who sought to threaten her life.

Chen Fan carefully sensed Shen Lingdie’s current condition and could confirm that though she had crushed the talisman, she hadn’t encountered any life-threatening danger.

"Could she have crushed it just to see me?" Chen Fan wondered to himself, then pulled out his phone and called Shen Lingdie.

The call connected, and Chen Fan quickly asked, "Grandma, what tricks are you playing this time?"

There was silence on the other end for a moment before a man’s deep voice answered, "Who are you? Why did Lingdie label your contact as ’husband’? Is Lingdie with you right now?"

Chen Fan was taken aback, then immediately hung up.

"That girl’s phone is in someone else’s possession, could it really be that something has happened?"

He furrowed his brow slightly, recalling the two incomprehensible calls he had received from Shen Lingdie before, realizing that this was probably not one of her pranks.

Then another thought came to him, and his expression turned odd, "What does she mean by labeling me as her husband in her contacts?"

Without overthinking it, Chen Fan quickly left the room, found Qi Heng, and said, "Come with me to Gang City."

He informed Wang Suyun that he had to leave for a while, made some arrangements, and then, taking Qi Heng with him, headed for the airport in the neighboring Tianhe City.

On the way, Qi Heng asked, "Fan, what are we going to Gang City for this time?"

Chen Fan replied, "A friend has run into some trouble, I’m going to check it out. You’re familiar with the place, so I might need your help with some things."

Qi Heng replied with a smile, "Fan, rest assured, whatever you need, just let me know. The Qi Family still has some say in Gang City. It’s been a while since I’ve been home. This time, I’ll let my dad know I’ve become the disciple of such an unparalleled master like you. Let’s see if he still dares to force me into becoming a live-in son-in-law!"

Chen Fan didn’t say much, realizing he knew little about Shen Lingdie’s background, so he asked, "Do you know Shen Lingdie?"

Just the fact that Cang Long, who once came to pick up Shen Lingdie, was a Four Revolutions True Person, suggested that the Shen Family had an extraordinary background in Gang City.

Since the Qi Family also had considerable prestige in Gang City, perhaps Qi Heng knew something about Shen Lingdie.

At the mention of Shen Lingdie’s name, Qi Heng’s eyes widened, "Fan, you actually know our Gang City’s number one beauty!"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, thinking that this girl also had such a big reputation, but considering her beauty and temperament, indeed few could match her, "Tell me everything you know about her."

Qi Heng began, "Shen Lingdie is the young lady of the Shen Family in Gang City. The Shen Family possesses great prestige there, achieving high success in both business and spells. The family head, Shen Ronghua, has reached the rank of Seven-turn True Person, a famous master of spells in Gang City. Even my Qi Family must bow down to them."

"Shen Lingdie has been known as the princess in the upper echelons of Gang City society since she was young because she is indeed that beautiful. Countless men have gone crazy for her, and there are even rumors that Gang City’s number one master of spells, Lu Jiuxuan, has taken a fancy to her. Mind you, Lu Jiuxuan is an old man over eighty years old, although he appears young due to his profound mastery in spells, reputedly having reached the Nine Revolutions True Person long ago. This just goes to show the allure of Shen Lingdie."

"Oh, and although Shen Lingdie is considered the number one beauty in Gang City, she is an unapproachable beauty who never spares a glance at any man, no matter how prestigious his background may be."

At this, Qi Heng suddenly thought of something and inquired, "Fan, the friend you mentioned, could it be Shen Lingdie?"

Chen Fan nodded.

Qi Heng looked utterly surprised; in his mind, Shen Lingdie was someone who genuinely disliked making friends, especially male friends. He even suspected that Shen Lingdie might actually prefer women.

That Chen Fan could become friends with Shen Lingdie truly baffled him.

"But they must be just ordinary friends, after all, although Fan is formidable, Shen Lingdie is a fairy who is untouched by the mundane world, too sublime to take notice of anyone, no matter how impressive."

Wait!

Fan once said he already had someone in mind. Could it be... that person is Shen Lingdie?

Qi Heng turned to glance at Chen Fan, and his brain instantly conjured up hundreds of scenarios where Chen Fan pursued Shen Lingdie, only to be rejected time and time again.

"Tsk tsk, indeed, even after becoming an extraordinary master, he can’t escape the fate of a lovelorn suitor."

...

In Gang City, within a secluded tube house in the old district.

Shen Lingdie was sitting in a chair, hugging her legs and staring blankly at the cockroaches that had just skittered by in a dark, damp room.

A girl with delicate features, about the same age as Shen Lingdie, was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.

This person was Tian Ying, Shen Lingdie’s personal maid and the only person Shen Lingdie truly trusted.

Tian Ying was growing restless; spotting the cockroaches on the floor, she stomped on them.

"Miss, though we’ve temporarily shaken off the family’s pursuit, with our family’s influence in Gang City, it’s only a matter of time before they find us. In order to avoid being located, we’ve thrown away our mobile phones. Now we are also running low on cash; we... we can’t hold out for many days."

"In my opinion, why don’t we go back? Actually, Master Lu... isn’t all that bad. He wields great mana, holds a prestigious position in Gang City, and the only downside is that he’s a bit older. Miss, why don’t... you just accept this arranged marriage?"

Shen Lingdie murmured, "Someone will come to save me."

Tian Ying frowned and said, "Miss, are you still pinning all your hopes on that guy you always talk about? Even if he does come, he can’t change anything. Master Lu is a Nine Revolutions True Person, and being the number one person in Gang City isn’t a joke. If he comes, he’d just be courting death!"

Shen Lingdie remained unmoved, calmly stating, "He will come to save me."

Tian Ying looked helpless, thinking her young mistress must be bewitched to have such thoughts.

Outside the tube house.

A group of burly men with tattoos covering their arms and backs, exuding an air of menace, arrived.

The leader was a man with a buzz cut, wearing a black tank top, and quite sturdy; he was Long Wu, the boss of the local Qinglong Gang.

Long Wu looked over at the tube house and asked a frail and weak-looking man beside him, "Skinny Monkey, are you sure those two hot chicks you mentioned are in this tube house?"

Skinny Monkey immediately responded with a smile, "Long, could I possibly deceive you? They’re in that room at the end of the first-floor hallway. I swear on my life, they are absolute stunners. One of them is heavenly beautiful, the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen in my life. It would be absolutely thrilling to get with them!"
