Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1381 - 1380
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Regarding the intel on Li Zixia, Lin Fan was indeed interested: "Let’s hear it?"
The steward said, "Do you mean, Mr. Lin, that you’re planning to trade with me?"
Lin Fan said, "That depends on whether your information is valuable."
The steward glanced around and said in a low voice, "There are too many people here, Mr. Lin, let’s step aside."
Lin Fan said, "I’m leaving now, let’s talk while we walk."
So, the steward followed Lin Fan out of the school, and everyone just watched them leave with eager eyes.
"Mr. Lin, how do you plan to find Li Zixia?" the steward asked.
Lin Fan said, "Isn’t it you who has information to tell me, not me explaining to you."
The steward laughed and said, "After being ditched by Mr. Lin last night, in order to find out where you went, I went to a Chinese medicine shop and learned about Li Zixia. I couldn’t find out where you went, so I had to take a step back and investigate Li Zixia’s whereabouts. I thought our goals aligned, and we would meet at some point, so I started looking."
Lin Fan asked, "What did you find out?"
The steward said, "I went to Li Zixia’s apartment. From the scene, it looks like she was forcibly abducted. The culprits are most likely local thugs in London. Although I don’t know the exact circumstances, her abduction could be due to a few possibilities: she may have offended someone and faced revenge, or she may have had something someone else wanted. Regardless of which, from the scene, it was a premeditated action. By my judgment, this is the work of professional thugs. Fortunately, I’m very familiar with the underground world of London and have many informants. If I inquire, I’ll be able to find clues."
Lin Fan asked, "And what did you find out?"
The steward smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, are you interested?"
Lin Fan chuckled, "I guess you haven’t found anything yet, otherwise, why would you be waiting here? If you found Li Zixia and had her under control, you wouldn’t worry about me negotiating terms with you."
The steward: "..."
With a resentful look at Lin Fan, the steward said, "How can nothing escape your eyes? Fine, I admit I haven’t found anything yet."
Even she didn’t find anything, so she didn’t believe Lin Fan would have any leads. That’s why she guessed Lin Fan would come to the school since investigating people around Li Zixia is a conventional method.
"But I have indeed spread out my informants. If there’s any news about Li Zixia, I’ll be the first to know," the steward said.
Lin Fan said, "Then let me know when you have any discoveries."
The steward said, "In fact, I do have some information now. According to my investigation, Li Zixia’s mentor, George Green, is very suspicious. He seems to have disappeared even earlier than Li Zixia. He’s a loner, and his only residence is the teacher’s apartment at Imperial College. I visited, and he left in a hurry."
Lin Fan responded, "Wasn’t he abducted?"
The steward shook her head, "It doesn’t seem so, more like he ran away on his own. Why would someone with nothing to hide flee?"
Lin Fan said, "It sounds like there’s indeed something off with him. Alright, let’s leave it at that. I hope you have more findings."
As he spoke, Lin Fan reached his car and got in.
The steward watched Lin Fan drive away helplessly, biting her silver teeth and stamping her foot in frustration at letting Lin Fan escape again. Lin Fan is truly her nemesis.
She then sighed, took out her phone, and made a call.
On the other end of the line, an expectant voice from a Chinese man: "You’re making a call at this time; you’d better have good news for me."
The steward said, "I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. Lin Fan came and then left again."
The Chinese man was shocked, "What? Didn’t Mr. Yamamoto take action? If Mr. Yamamoto took action, how could he have let him escape?"
The steward said, "That Japanese guy is lying on the ground unconscious now. Guess who did it?"
The Chinese man was speechless in shock, "..."
The steward said, "Tell Mr. Smith not to try sending people anymore. Whoever comes will die, and it’ll only backfire. I’ve found a way to deal with Lin Fan, just give me a little time."
The Chinese man said, "You’d better, Mr. Smith is already beside himself with worry. If we can’t handle Lin Fan, we’ll all be in trouble."
Meanwhile, Lin Fan drove away and soon received a message from Allen. Allen had already set off for the meeting place proposed by the auction platform.
The people from the auction platform were very cautious, changing locations midway. This is a counter-surveillance tactic to prevent anyone from tracking Allen. During each change, if someone is following, it’s easy to expose them.
Lin Fan stayed in contact with Allen via phone, sharing their locations. After changing several locations, Allen’s communications suddenly stopped.
Lin Fan made a call, and at first, it connected, but then it was immediately hung up.
Lin Fan realized that Allen had most likely fallen into the hands of the other party.
With a cold smile, Lin Fan floored the gas pedal, and the car roared off.
Lin Fan was right; Allen had indeed fallen into the other party’s hands.
Allen was very nervous. Although he was a billionaire and CEO of the Company, this was his first time doing such a thing. If he could, he wouldn’t want to deal with underground people, putting himself in danger is risky. Dealing on the Deep Web is one thing, but dealing in real life is another.
After receiving the call from the auction platform, Allen set off with a nervous mindset. The first thing he did upon getting into the car was to call Lin Fan. He wouldn’t dare meet the other party alone.
He drove for a while before receiving another call from the auction platform, saying they changed their mind and directing him to another location.
Afraid that the other party would back out, Allen didn’t dare oppose and merely agreed meekly. Fortunately, he shared his location with Lin Fan, so no matter where he went, Lin Fan knew. As long as he hadn’t lost contact with Lin Fan, he remained calm.
After several location changes, the other party called again, this time demanding that he get out of the car immediately.
He stopped his car at a street corner, and as he got out, someone rushed from the shadows and covered his head with a sack. His phone was snatched, and his head was struck, causing him to lose consciousness immediately.
The two men were well-coordinated; one covered Allen with the sack, followed with an elbow strike to knock him out, while the other snatched Allen’s phone. Then they grabbed the unconscious Allen, taking him into an SUV within a minute.
As they drove away, Allen’s phone suddenly rang. A call came in, and the man sitting in the passenger seat glanced at it; the caller ID noted as "Assistant." The man coldly hung up the call and tossed the phone out the window.
The SUV drove off into the distance.
