Li Zixia, having been rescued by Lin Fan, returns to London with him. While Lin Fan seeks assistance from a former associate, Klaus, Li Zixia looks to Liu Yuying for help investigating the thugs who abducted her. Lin Fan confronts Klaus about the Iron Fist Gang's involvement in Li Zixia's kidnapping, revealing he single-handedly wiped out the Earth Wolf Gang responsible. Klaus, terrified of Lin Fan's power, offers compensation.

Klaus thought Lin Fan was here to cause trouble and knelt down first, promising to compensate Li Zixia.

After learning that the Earth Wolf Gang was wiped out by Lin Fan, Klaus was almost scared to wet himself. The Iron Fist Gang was far inferior to the Earth Wolf Gang. Lin Fan, this ruthless guy, specifically went to an Eastern European country to wipe out the Earth Wolf Gang. If Lin Fan wanted to wipe out the Iron Fist Gang, it would be a matter of minutes!

When it came to compensation, Lin Fan hadn’t thought about it, but since Klaus offered, Lin Fan had no reason to refuse.

Seeing Klaus’s expression, if he didn’t agree to their compensation, they wouldn’t be happy either.

After all, accepting compensation indicates it’s a problem that money can solve. If you don’t accept it, it might be another matter.

"I came to find you today because I need your help with something," Lin Fan then explained his intention.

Klaus said, "Please, go ahead."

Lin Fan said, "I want to know who is trying to kidnap Li Zixia. Have you found any clues recently?"

Klaus wiped his cold sweat and said, "Well... we are still investigating, but we haven’t found any clues yet. I swear, we are really checking. If you don’t believe me, I can show you evidence. There were hundreds of guests in Miss Li’s auction room that day, and it takes time to investigate each one..."

Lin Fan said, "I’m asking you if you know which group in London’s forces would have crescent-shaped tattoos on their necks."

"Crescent tattoos?" Klaus furrowed his brows and began to think carefully.

Lin Fan opened his phone, showing the crescent-shaped tattoo. This was drawn from memory by Li Zixia on the way.

Klaus glanced at it and said, "I don’t recognize this, but don’t worry, Mr. Lin. I’ll immediately have this circulated for investigation."

"This design..." suddenly said the Burly Man next to them, "It looks like the Rick Brothers’!"

Lin Fan turned his gaze to the Burly Man, asking in a serious tone, "You recognize it?"

The Burly Man stammered a bit out of fear, "Yes... it seems like..."

Lin Fan said, "Is it or isn’t it? Take a closer look!"

The Burly Man nodded, "Yes, I’m sure it’s the Rick Brothers’ symbol. They’re an underground force in the East District, founded by the Rick Brothers. They’re not very big, just a small gang. I used to have a buddy who was mixed up with the Rick Brothers, so I recognize it."

Lin Fan said, "Do you know where their hideout is?"

The Burly Man said, "They used to operate around Rock Street in the East District, specializing in making fake certificates. Now I don’t know."

Lin Fan said, "Can you get in touch with your buddy?"

The Burly Man said, "No way, he’s been dead for a long time."

Lin Fan: "..."

Li Zixia said, "The day I was caught, they did drive in the direction of the West District."

Lin Fan could see that this Burly Man wasn’t lying. Although he didn’t know if his information was accurate, he indeed told everything he knew.

As for whether this information is accurate, it needs to be verified.

"Mr. Claus, could I borrow a car from you?" Lin Fan asked Klaus.

Klaus immediately said, "No problem, I’ll arrange it for Mr. Lin right away."

A few minutes later, Lin Fan drove off in an SUV with Li Zixia, leaving the bar.

Klaus watched the car driving away and breathed a sigh of relief. Whatever the Rick Brothers were, they were in for trouble this time.

Of course, the Iron Fist Gang couldn’t relax yet. They still needed to think about how to compensate Li Zixia, which was something they had to consider with their leader.

Lun City East District.

In the whole city, this area is relatively poorer. If the West District is where the rich and nobles live, then the East District is where the poor gather, somewhat underdeveloped.

Driving through the streets of the East District, the difference compared to the West District was apparent. Both the streets and houses were older.

It was already dusk, and the streets of the East District were crowded and bustling.

Lin Fan had to slow down the car.

When it got completely dark, they finally found Rock Street.

This street looked very dark at first glance. At night, there weren’t many streetlights, the lighting was dim, and it gave off an untrustworthy vibe.

Indeed, with just a little observation, one could see a mix of all sorts of people on this street. Homeless people and small-time gangsters could be seen at any time, and there were also men and women with strange hairstyles, gathered in groups, laughing and joking.

Lin Fan slowed the car down, cruising along the street, observing the surroundings with the dim light.

If the Rick Brothers were indeed active around here, it could only be said that this underground force had no real prospects.

The SUV Klaus provided for Lin Fan wasn’t a luxury car, but it was still worth 10 million Euros, making it quite conspicuous on such a street and quickly attracting attention, with people on the street looking over.

Lin Fan actually wanted to attract attention, so he simply parked the car under a streetlight.

In a place like this, Li Zixia felt a bit uneasy. If she were alone, she certainly wouldn’t dare to come, especially at night. It would be hard to take a stroll here and come out in one piece.

Luckily, Lin Fan was with her tonight, and she was well-versed in the ways of the world, so the mixed crowd here wasn’t much of a problem.

The appearance of this car drew attention from everyone on the street and made some people uneasy, thinking that maybe agents had arrived, causing them to hide quickly.

Lin Fan didn’t want these people to misunderstand. He was still waiting for the fish to take the bait.

He spotted a pack of cigarettes on the car hood.

"I’m going down for a bit."

Lin Fan said, taking a cigarette and lighting it, then he opened the car door and got out, leaning against the car hood to smoke.

Seeing that it was an Asian stepping out of the car, everyone on the street immediately breathed a sigh of relief, seeing no threat in Asians.

It was clear that Lin Fan wasn’t a cop.

Lin Fan, while "skillfully" smoking the cigarette in his hand, kept exchanging glances with people passing by. Finally, a young black guy was lured over by Lin Fan.

"What do you want, man?" the young black guy said angrily to Lin Fan, as black people’s tempers were always not too good.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "What do you do?"

The young black guy snapped, "None of your damn business, mind your own!"

Lin Fan said, "I want to get a fake certificate. Can you help with that?"

The young black guy glared at Lin Fan, "Get lost!"

He turned and ran.

Lin Fan didn’t pay attention to him and continued leisurely smoking his cigarette, exchanging glances with passersby, much like an angler waiting for a bite.

Lin Fan was indeed fishing. Earlier, he had scattered some bait, waiting for the fish to take the hook. As to whether he could catch any fish, well, that was a mixture of skill and luck.

After all, whether the Rick Brothers were still active in this area was still an unknown.

However, it didn’t take long for Lin Fan to notice people hiding in the dark, whispering to each other and pointing at him. One of them was the young black guy who had just left.

Soon, a tattooed man came over and stood in front of Lin Fan.

"You looking for a fake certificate?" the tattooed man said to Lin Fan in a deep voice.

The fish had taken the bait.
