Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1413 - 1412

The burly man in the cabin had previously had his throat cut by Lin Fan and fainted on the floor. At this moment, he regained consciousness, opened his eyes, lifted his head, and the first thing he saw was a pair of beautiful legs, then he saw Li Zixia’s face.

Li Zixia was standing in front of him, looking down at him, her expression ice-cold.

Seeing that Li Zixia was actually safe and sound and had regained her freedom, the Burly Man instinctively wanted to make a move to subdue her.

However, he no longer had the chance.

Li Zixia raised the gun and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A bloody hole appeared in the Burly Man’s head, blood splattered, and his head drooped down as he died on the spot.

Under the night sky, the cruise ship drifted alone on the Mediterranean. A few gunshots shattered the calm of the night, but since there was no one else around, they didn’t attract any attention.

Li Zixia fired the final shot, killing the last member of the Earth Wolf Gang on the ship.

Only after killing all the thugs on the ship in one breath did she finally vent her anger.

Lin Fan didn’t stop her, because from the moment she fired the first shot, the situation was already beyond saving. Lin Fan gave a wry smile. Looked like he’d have to fight the Earth Wolf Gang to the bitter end now.

"How are we getting out of here?" Li Zixia threw the gun on the ground, took a deep breath to calm herself, then turned and asked Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "I just saw there are lifeboats on the ship. We’ll leave on a lifeboat."

Ten minutes later.

Lin Fan and Li Zixia were on a lifeboat, heading back toward Barcelona.

"You said just now that Tianyu sent you?" Li Zixia asked Lin Fan. "I haven’t heard from him for a long time. How is he now?"

Lin Fan said, "For the past year, he’s been hiding in prison to avoid Yun Sect’s pursuit."

Li Zixia couldn’t help but grow sad. "He actually suffered such humiliation... Then how did he know I went missing?"

Lin Fan said, "The people from Yun Sect have already been taken care of. Ye Tianyu wanted to find you, so he contacted Master Liu and only then learned that you’d been kidnapped. That’s why he asked me to come rescue you."

Li Zixia said, "Are you Tianyu’s friend? Or did Tianyu pay to hire you to come?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Neither. I can’t really count as his friend, and he didn’t hire me. I agreed to come on my own."

Li Zixia found it a bit strange. Lin Fan was neither Ye Tianyu’s friend nor did he take money, so why would he travel all the way to the United Kingdom to save her?

"W-why?" Li Zixia asked in puzzlement.

Lin Fan said, "Miss Li, although you’re in the United Kingdom, you know Jinyu Group well. Jinyu Group is already facing bankruptcy. Unless there’s capital to save it, it’s finished. You went to the midnight auction to auction off an artificial intelligence technology because you wanted to get money to save Jinyu Group, right?"

Li Zixia was a bit surprised. Lin Fan already knew about her auctioning off the technology at the midnight auction.

Lin Fan went on, "Actually, there’s already capital intending to take over Jinyu Group. That capital is called Ruofan Investment, which is my Company."

"Huh?" Li Zixia was stunned. Lin Fan was actually an investor?

In other words, Lin Fan was planning to take over Jinyu Group, so he came to the United Kingdom himself to save her?

This was really beyond anything she’d expected; she almost couldn’t believe it.

"Mr. Lin, how did you find me?" Li Zixia asked. "Did you meet Master Liu?"

Lin Fan said, "I didn’t meet Master Liu, but I went to her Chinese medicine shop and met Master Xiao Ye. He told me about your apartment. When I was searching your apartment for clues, I ran into another group also searching. I tracked them and found Mr. Allen, and only then did I learn about you and the midnight auction."

Li Zixia let out an oh. "The Mr. Allen you’re talking about, is he Allen Scott, the CEO of London’s AP Technology Company?"

Lin Fan said, "Yes. He was one of the people attending your auction that night, and he was also the one who bid the highest. After your identity was exposed in the auction room, he wanted to offer you protection, but he was a step too late."

Li Zixia said, "After my identity was exposed, thugs came to the door very quickly and took me away."

Lin Fan said, "Do you know who did it?"

Li Zixia shook her head. "No. Go on."

Lin Fan said, "After I learned about this, I figured it was one of the people in the streaming room who kidnapped you. So I needed the list of people who were in that room that night. Mr. Allen and I auctioned something at the midnight auction and demanded the auction house deliver it face-to-face. I wanted to find the auction’s back-end and ask them for the list directly."

Li Zixia was shocked inside. The midnight auction was most likely controlled by underground forces, and Lin Fan was directly going up against them. Was he really just the boss of an investment Company? Even a top agent wouldn’t dare do that, right!

"Did you succeed?" Li Zixia asked.

Lin Fan said, "Yeah. The force controlling the midnight auction is a local underground power in London called the Iron Fist Gang. I found their person in charge, a man named Klaus. At the time, we were in a bar under the Iron Fist Gang’s banner. I happened to run into a girl there and saved her. You know this girl as well."

Li Zixia asked curiously, "I know her?"

Lin Fan said, "Her name is Lucy. You might not know her name, but once I say this, you’ll definitely remember her. Didn’t you give your coat to a girl at the dock?"

"Her!" Li Zixia blurted out in surprise.

Back then she’d given her coat to Lucy purely as a last resort in despair. She never imagined that move would actually work!

The world was really that coincidental. Lin Fan had just been following the trail step by step, yet he accidentally bumped into Lucy and completely changed the course of the investigation.

Lin Fan said, "Yeah. She was being bullied by people in the bar, and I bought her freedom. When we were leaving, I saw her put on your coat. Master Xiao Ye had shown me your recent photo, and I recognized the coat. I cracked the code you left on it."

Lin Fan then briefly told Li Zixia what happened afterward—how he tracked down the Earth Wolf Gang, then traced things to Joseph Wayne, and how, by hacking into the Earth Wolf Gang’s secret website, he learned that Li Zixia had been auctioned to Barcelona and thus came all this way to rescue her.

Lin Fan narrated in an indifferent, matter-of-fact tone, but after listening to his rescue process, Li Zixia was already staring, dumbfounded. If she hadn’t really been rescued by Lin Fan, she’d never have believed a word of it. Wasn’t this basically a fairy tale?

"Mr. Lin, are you a former agent?" Li Zixia couldn’t help asking. Lin Fan not only fought incredibly well but could also hack other people’s websites—he was basically the protagonist of a spy movie.

Lin Fan broke into a sweat. "I’m not. Miss Li, I really am a businessman. I’m the boss of Mortal Group."

Li Zixia had no concept of Mortal Group. Living in the United Kingdom, she knew little about Huaxia’s affairs, other than secretly keeping an eye on Jinyu Group.

However, the fact that Lin Fan personally came to rescue her because he was acquiring Jinyu Group moved her deeply. This young businessman was truly different from the rest.

Lin Fan said, "By the way, Miss Li, how did you end up in the hands of the Earth Wolf Gang?"
