Chapter 374 Insignificant
Chapter 374 Insignificant
Obviously, they regarded Lin Fan as their only hope and were afraid that they would suffer the same misfortune.
Lin Fan didn't have the time or energy to meet and talk with each of them individually, so he simply responded briefly, saying he would contact them after considering the specific conditions. He then ended the call.
"Shen Wei is right. These five brothers are not simple people."
Lin Fan put down his phone, lit a cigarette, and leisurely crossed his legs. He decided to first meet with the eldest brother of the Du family to find out what he really thought.
Hundreds of millions of yuan in medical expenses? This figure was too insignificant for him. Lin Fan was not short of money and had no interest in this matter.
After finishing his cigarette, Lin Fan left the office and strolled through the company. He was surrounded by beautiful figures, a delight to the eyes. Soon, it was time to get off work, and Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing left the company together and returned to their villa.
Wang Chudong had already returned home, wearing comfortable home clothes and lying on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Lin Fan and Zhao Ziqing enter, she deliberately adjusted her collar.
Lin Fan smiled, thinking, what's there to hide? It wasn't like they'd met before. But he also knew that Wang Chudong did this to avoid misunderstandings with Zhao Ziqing.
After dinner, Lin Fan checked his watch and headed to the place he had agreed to meet with Du Yuanmin. When he arrived, Du Yuanmin had been waiting for him for a long time.
"It's you?"
Du Yuanmin was surprised to see Lin Fan. He recognized him as the young man who had accompanied Shen Wei to the Du family banquet.
"Haha, Mr. Du, are you surprised to see me?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said to Du Yuanmin.
"It's really unexpected. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to have visited the Du family before."
Although Du Yuanmin needed Lin Fan's help, he still tried his best to force a smile in response.
"Since Mr. Lin has been to the Du family, you should be very clear about what happened today... I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you."
"Not bad. I filled my stomach and watched a good show."
Lin Fan sat down.
"By the way, the Du family's banquet was quite sumptuous, and Shen Wei and I enjoyed it very much."
"..."
Du Yuanmin's facial muscles twitched, and he muttered to himself, I didn't invite you here to hear you praise my banquet.
"When will the banquet start again? Don't forget to invite me next time."
"Mr. Lin, if you don't help me, I'm afraid the next banquet will be my funeral."
Du Yuanmin sat opposite with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter whose funeral it is, as long as there's a banquet."
Lin Fan lit another cigarette.
"..."
Veins bulged on Du Yuanmin's forehead. He planned to teach Lin Fan a lesson as long as he dared to say "I can't do anything".
"Let's talk about something serious. My purpose for going to the Du family today is to confirm whether your father died from black magic."
Lin Fan did not continue to tease Du Yuanmin, but spoke calmly.
"Later, I discovered that it wasn't just him. All five of you brothers were affected by the black magic... and because of this, you were all controlled by Du Yunkai, forcing him to become the head of the Du family."
"Um."
As soon as Du Yuanmin heard the name "Du Yunkai", hatred surged in his heart.
After his father's death, Du Yuanmin thought he would naturally become the heir of the Du family. But unexpectedly, Du Yunkai suddenly appeared!
When Du Yunkai threatened to take over the Du family, everyone thought he was dreaming. An insignificant person actually wanted to be the master of the family?
However, after experiencing the pain brought by black magic, they had no choice but to compromise. The head of the Du family died because of black magic and was lying in a coffin at this moment.
If they did not agree to Du Yunkai's request, they would probably suffer the same fate. Even those ferocious tigers had to obey the seemingly insignificant puppy.
Du Yuanmin then turned to Lin Fan and pleaded, "Mr. Lin, please save me. I will accept any conditions."
"Whatever the price, I'm willing to pay."
"I've already said it, I'm not in this for the money."
Lin Fan said while smoking, "If I don't help you, you will not only lose control of the Du family, but you may even lose your life."
"Yes."
Du Yuanmin nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I can help you save your life and let you continue to be the head of the Du family..."
Lin Fan said slowly.
Hearing this, Du Yuanmin was delighted: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your kindness. I will always remember it."
"Don't be too quick to say thank you. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
Lin Fan looked at him and said.
"From now on, you will be responsible for the affairs of the Du family, but your life must be under my control."
"What...what do you mean?"
Du Yuanmin's smile froze, and then he realized what Lin Fan meant, and his eyes widened.
He originally thought that Lin Fan would put forward some harsh conditions or ask him to do something, but he never thought that Lin Fan was targeting the entire Du family!
"Mr. Du is a sensible man and should know what I mean."
Lin Fan flicked the ash from his cigarette.
"Actually, I'm not that interested in the Du family, but since I'm here, I have to do something. As for the Du family, I'll just have to put up with them for now."
Du Yuanmin stared at Lin Fan and was so angry that he almost laughed.
Look down on the Du family?
Just make do with it?
Isn’t this person too arrogant?
"Mr. Lin, I know that to remove a black magic spell, you don't need the caster to be there. You just need a stronger power."
Du Yuanmin suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.
"If you can remove the black magic, others may be able to... There are many powerful black magic masters in Siam."
"Haha, Mr. Du means you are unwilling to accept my conditions?"
Lin Fan put out his cigarette.
"Then why not seek out another expert? But I must remind you that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst... Once Du Yunkai consolidates his position, will he let you go easily? I'm afraid you'll be the first one he'll deal with."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Du Yuanmin's face suddenly changed, because this was also what he was most worried about.
In fact, he had already sent people to Siam that afternoon to look for a skilled sorcerer.
Having never been involved in this circle before, it was indeed not easy to find a reliable person in a short period of time. Therefore, he thought of Lin Fan.
"Have you ever thought about going to Siam in person to look for Master Du Yunkai and his backers? Wouldn't they have thought of it?" Lin Fan continued.
"Will they give you such a chance?"
Du Yuanmin's expression became complicated as he stared at Lin Fan closely.
"Accept my terms, and at least you can become the head of the clan and keep your life. If you don't accept, not only will you lose your position as head, you will also lose your life."
Lin Fan stood up and said, "Maybe it won't be long before I can attend your funeral."
"Mr. Lin, could you consider changing the conditions?" Du Yuanmin also stood up.
"There's only one condition. If you agree, I'll save you. If you don't, it'll be your funeral."
