Lu Fan was stunned, a warm current surging through him. Ever since he was eight years old, no one had ever shown him such care. The old man treated him well, but never said it. Guihua Po Po's action made Lu Fan feel like he had a home.
Without a word, Lu Fan drank all the tea and then smiled, "Who is Ke'er?"
"She's a university student, and also my granddaughter. She should be home from school soon," Guihua Po Po said with a smile. "But you can really sleep. It's already afternoon."
Lu Fan scratched his head sheepishly and was about to get up when a young girl on a bicycle, wearing a neat school uniform, rode into the courtyard. She looked tall, with a delicate face, and her pure appearance had a touch of charm. "Grandma, I'm home!"
Looking at the girl before him, Lu Fan's eyes widened. He had stayed on the mountain for too long and had never seen such a beautiful girl. She was a hundred times better than Yang Jiaqi, and even surpassed Bai Xue.
"Love at first sight, is this love at first sight!"
Lu Fan sighed inwardly, struggling with his emotions.
"You're awake?" Lin Ke'er looked at Lu Fan. "Are you alright? I saw you lying on the road alone yesterday, so I picked you up. But you're quite heavy!"
"Cough, cough, I'm fine, of course I'm fine!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
"Young man, where is your family? Do you want me to make a phone call?" Guihua Po Po asked.
"To be honest, I don't have any family and no fixed abode, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up on the streets," Lu Fan said pitifully. "How about you take me as your god-grandson, Grandma? I'll definitely take good care of you when I make money!"
As he said this, Lu Fan glanced at Lin Ke'er again. For some reason, he felt a special aura about Lin Ke that attracted him.
"This..." Guihua Po Po hesitated. "Young man, if you have nowhere to go, then stay here for now!"
"Thank you, Grandma!" Lu Fan quickly expressed his gratitude.
Lin Ke'er stood by, speechless. However, Lu Fan seemed like a good person who had nowhere to go, and she didn't reject him.
After all, many years ago, he had always longed for an older brother.
Meanwhile, in the Qinglong Gate, Han Yunhai sat on the sofa, lit a cigar, and asked Da Zhuang beside him, "Have you investigated clearly! Who was that person last night!"
"This person is quite mysterious. He doesn't seem to be from Qingzhou and has some connection with the Bai family," Da Zhuang reported. "He's currently in Pingmin Village!"
"At such a young age, he possesses at least the Great Accomplishment realm. Such a person must not be offended!" Han Yunhai touched his ring and pondered, "Hurry up and prepare a backup gift. I'll go to Pingmin Village myself!"
"Your status as sect leader is special. Perhaps I should go on your behalf," Da Zhuang inquired.
"No need. This person is not simple, and he is my savior. I should personally pay him a visit!" Han Yunhai waved his hand.
Da Zhuang nodded and then said, "The men in black last night were just a few assassins. The mastermind is still unknown."
"Since we don't know, continue investigating!" Han Yunhai said coldly. "Dig three feet deep to find the mastermind."
Da Zhuang nodded, not daring to delay.
In Pingmin Village, Guihua Po Po had already prepared dinner. Lin Ke'er came over, "Wow, it's so rich today! Braised pork! Stir-fried greens and osmanthus cakes, these are all my favorites."
"We have an extra member in the family, so it naturally has to be more abundant," Guihua Po Po said kindly. "You are all good children. Grandma is waiting to enjoy your blessings in the future!"
"We will!" Lu Fan smiled. "Don't worry, Grandma."
For some reason, Lu Fan felt the warmth of home at this moment and was inexplicably sad.
"Is anyone home!"
A voice rang out, and several figures appeared, breaking the peaceful scene.
Looking at the man leading the group, Guihua Po Po frowned and walked outside. "Oh, it's Old Brother Zhang. What brings you here?"
"Old woman, I'm not that old. Just call me Master Zhang!" Zhang Lao San said coldly. "When do you plan to pay the shop rent you owe me? Let me tell you, if you can't pay it again, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
Zhang Lao San's voice was loud. Many people from Pingmin Village came to watch, and many were discussing.
"It's Zhang Lao San again, what a disaster! Guihua Po Po is such a good person, how could she encounter such a scoundrel!"
"You all shouldn't talk nonsense. If Zhang Lao San hears you, you'll be in trouble!"
Several villagers were discussing. Zhang Lao San was a notorious hooligan in the neighborhood, and few dared to offend him.
"Master Zhang, I stopped renting that shop a long time ago, and I've paid what I owed you. Are you mistaken?" Guihua Po Po said.
"You paid before, but there's still thirty thousand yuan in interest. Pay that as well!" Zhang Lao San said with a smile. "If you don't have the money, I think your Ke'er is quite good. If she accompanies me for one night, this money can be waived."
"Master Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. I stopped renting that shop long ago, where did the interest come from?" Guihua Po Po quickly said with a fawning smile. "How about you be merciful, Master Zhang, and let me off the hook?"
"Go to hell!"
A man next to him cursed and kicked Guihua Po Po to the ground. "You really don't know what's good for you!"
In Pingmin Village, many villagers were angry but dared not step forward. These were all hooligans, and they were honest folk who wouldn't dare offend these people.
"Grandma, are you alright!"
Lin Ke'er ran out towards Guihua Po Po, tears in her eyes. She was just a student and had never witnessed such a scene.
"Little girl, if you come with me, I'll let you all go today!" Zhang Lao San said with a cold smile and reached out to grab Lin Ke'er.
Lin Ke'er struggled desperately, and Guihua Po Po resisted with all her might, looking to the other people in Pingmin Village for help. A few men wanted to step forward to help, but they were pulled back by their own family members. "Zhang Lao San is not to be trifled with, he's not to be trifled with!"
Seeing the silence of the Pingmin Village residents, Guihua Po Po was close to tears. Zhang Lao San had been terrorizing the neighborhood for more than a day or two.
"Take your dirty hands off her!"
A voice came from inside. Zhang Lao San was also annoyed. "Who is so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to meddle in my business!"
Lu Fan walked out from the room. "I control heaven and earth, and I specialize in dealing with people like you!"
"Little Fan, don't mess around!"
Guihua Po Po said worriedly. "Hurry back to your room!"
Lu Fan was not old, and could be said to be young and vigorous. If he got into trouble, how could she bear it?
"Don't worry, Grandma, leave this to me!" Lu Fan comforted her. Su Dan Novel Network
Guihua Po Po and Lin Xiao Ke looked worried. They didn't think Lu Fan could resolve the situation.
"Being a hero isn't that easy," Zhang Lao San said with a cold smile. "How many hairs do you have, kid, to dare to challenge me?"
