Harem Ascendant: Power & Beauty

Chapter 935: Chapter 935: The Waterside Trap

The night wind by the water howled, carrying a hint of chill.

Xiong Baiyan held his gun cautiously as he groped forward.

A pair of keen eyes constantly observed everything around. The recent steel ball had caught him off guard, so

now he was fully alert. At the slightest hint of movement, he would raise his hand and fire.

Several shots in succession stirred no visible waves, but as an excellent hunter, Xiong Baiyan was sure that the

two couldn't escape this vast mountain. Moreover, with the mountains high and forests dense, after he

sabotaged the signal tower, they lost contact with the outside world; thus, they couldn't survive in this

wilderness.

Just as Xiong Baiyan’s flashlight searched for the slightest clue, a shadow suddenly rushed forward. From the

height and build, it was undoubtedly Lin Fan. So, he hurriedly gave chase until a splash of water stopped Lin Fan

in his tracks with nowhere left to run.

"County Magistrate Lin, aren't you very capable? Why don’t you jump into the water and run? This river leads

directly to the county town; see if you can swim back."

As Xiong Baiyan walked slowly with his gun, a sinister smile hung on his lips as he stepped towards Lin Fan,

hiding behind a rock. The finger resting on the trigger was ready to unleash a deadly bullet at any moment.

"Since I've run out of options, shall we have a little chat, maybe smoke a cigarette? Perhaps it could change your

mind."

Just as Lin Fan poked his head out, the opponent immediately pulled the trigger. Countless steel bullets whistled

through the air, striking the rock and sparking, forcing him to retract his head in fright.

"I have nothing to say to the dead. | advise you to cout. | can give you a quick death!"

Reloading his bullets, Xiong Baiyan stepped closer to the riverbank over the rocks, continuously watching behind

him. Around the riverbank, there was no cover. So, he wasn't afraid of Tang Xiaoshuang launching a sneak attack

from the dark. After all, the Strong Crossbow had a lethal range of only twenty meters; beyond thirty meters,

both its accuracy and strength would greatly diminish.

"Alright, since you said so, let's not chat. Anyway, if I die, naturally someone will joinin the grave."

Hidden behind the rock, Lin Fan lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "First and foremost are those people from

the fourth team of Huanglan Village!"

"What did you say?"

Sure enough, Lin Fan's words made Xiong Baiyan pause in surprise, instinctively asking back.

"I said, as long as | die, | guarantee that the people of the fourth team of Huanglan Village won't live past

tomorrow's sunset—including Huang Jingshou’s poor mother, his crippled brother, and his children. They'll all die

with me!"

Lin Fan said as he stepped out from behind the rock, dangling a cigarette, standing directly in front of Xiong

Baiyan’s gun’s dark muzzle, "Oh, and Xiong Baiyan’s real daughter, Xiong Meijiao. My people will eventually find

them all and brutally kill them one by one."

"How do you know this!"

Xiong Baiyan stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Lin Fan opposite him; how did this guy know so much?

"Huang Jingshou, stop pretending;

you're not Xiong Baiyan at all. That

so-called daughter of yours is

actually your beloved woman, isnt

she? | not only nqudthis, Bat Palso

khoW nl {Pack then Xiong Baiyan

opposed you, a mine worker, being

with his college-educated daughter,

thus separating the lovebirds. Xiong

Meijiao couldn't bear the mental

shock and went insane, and you, with

your imposture, survived by

assuming Xiong Baiyan’s identity

after blowing up the mine." The

Lin Fan sat on the rock, wearing a

cold smile as he looked at Huang

Jingshou, "But | must admit, if |

hadn't visited the fourth team of

Huanglan Village togtag,) wont

have didddvered your true identity.

Now everything makes sense. Back

then, you couldn't bring yourself to

destroy the mine without notifying

your own brothers. But so what if you

have money? You're still hiding, living

under someone else's identity,

showing off as father and daughter

when you're actually lovers. Is that

amusing?" The content is on

"I don’t need you to interfere in my business. Do you think your blackmail has meaning? If | cared about others,

would | have blown up the mine and killed so many villagers back then... including my father... You're wrong. I'm

utterly ruthless; nothing can bindexcept myself!"

Huang Jingshou’s face twisted as he aimed the dark gun barrel at Lin Fan.

"If that were the case, wouldn't you have shot by now? According to what your niece said, her grandfather loved

drinking, and after drinking, he would beat you brothers to death. Your brother's leg wasn’t crushed in a mine

accident; it was broken by your father, wasn't it? So, during that explosion, you killed your father with your own

hands. Wasn't it for revenge?"

Lin Fan continued to smoke calmly, staring directly into Huang Jingshou'’s eyes.

"But for that mother who dedicated

her life to you, she’s still alive. In such

a decrepit family, if it weren't for you,

any severe lliness would hav&long

taken hat ie although it seemed like

County Magistrate Zhao made

donations, you were actually the one

behind it. But have you ever thought

that the money you spent on this

so-called filial piety is the blood and

innocent lives of others!" The content
