How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 17 Who, who was it, who exactly grabbed my face and pushed me into the house?

"Sister, where is this?"

Lin Fan gazed at the blue brick courtyard wall and the black lacquered gate, which gleamed as if it had just been painted. He had a feeling about something, but still asked a question.

Wang didn't speak, but instead smiled and took Lin Fan's hand, pushed open the door, stepped over the threshold, and walked into the courtyard. It was very clean inside, the bricks underfoot were still damp, and there were traces of cleaning in the cracks between the bricks.

There is a well in the courtyard, and an elm tree that is at least a hundred years old. It is very lush and can be used as a shaded spot to enjoy the moon in the summer.

"Little brother, do you like it?" Madam Wang asked with a smile.

"Hi, I like it."

Lin Fan was certain; his sister had bought it for him specially.

Wang said, "I'm glad you like it. This is what I bought for you. I bought it a few days ago, but when I saw that this place had been abandoned for a long time and was a mess, I had someone clean it up and renovate it. It looks much better now. If there weren't so many empty rooms available for sale in this location, I really wouldn't have liked this place."

This is what it means to be rich and powerful.

This place is located in the city center, and it's very expensive, extremely expensive.

"Sister, this is too expensive."

“It’s not valuable. Isn’t it normal for an older sister to provide a place for her younger brother to stay? Besides, I have money, I have a lot of money.” Wang Shi wouldn’t allow Lin Fan to refuse, and took out the house deed she had prepared beforehand. “Keep this safe and write your name on it.”

Wang Changhai, who had just arrived, heard his wife say that they had money, a lot of money.

He just wanted to say, "This is my money!"

“Your sister gave it to you, so just accept it. She went to see the shanty you live in and said it was no place for people to live. It broke her heart. Your sister made a lot of things here herself, saying she didn’t trust outsiders to take care of them,” Wang Changhai said.

That’s all.

Lin Fan understood that if he didn't accept it, he would truly be wasting his sister's hard work.

He received the land deed.

"Thank you, sister."

“Why are you being so polite with your sister? I don’t have any other requests, I just hope my brother can live comfortably.” Wang said, then seemed to remember something, took Lin Fan’s hand and said sincerely, “Don’t think that I’m doing these things to tie you to Changhai. I’m sincere. No matter where you go or what you do in the future, I will support your choices.”

Hear this.

Lin Fan nodded, "I know."

If it were someone else, they would definitely think this was a bribery tactic, but Lin Fan saw sincerity in his sister's eyes, and what she said was all true, without a trace of falsehood.

"Keep this money. Your expenses will increase in the future. You've only been here a short time, so you probably don't have much money." Madam Wang took out a money bag filled with loose silver.

This is because silver ingots are difficult to spend, while broken silver is more practical.

"Sis, this won't do."

Lin Fan quickly refused. How could he ever repay such a debt of gratitude?

"Why not? I've already given you the house, what's a little money? Listen to me, accept it."

"Well, that's fine."

He accepted the heavy money bag.

He knew that he now had someone to care about in this world. No matter where he was in the future, even if he was at the ends of the earth, he had to remember that there was a sister here.

Wang touched Lin Fan's arm, carefully examining his face, and said with a smile, "My younger brother is quite handsome, young and capable. He has a house and money, but it seems he's lacking a virtuous and sensible wife, someone to keep me company..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan quickly interrupted, "Sister, no need, really no need. I'm still young, and I still have to work for the hall master. It's not good to get married too early."

Madam Wang laughed and said, "Okay, okay, don't rush. I won't introduce you. My brother is so good. He's not interested in women, unlike your brother-in-law, who can't take his eyes off women and doesn't even think about how young he is. Brother, you mustn't follow your brother-in-law's example. Men should be as chaste as women."

"Yes, sister is right."

Lin Fan nodded repeatedly. Even if someone said the hall master was a pig, he would agree.

This woman gave too much.

They almost even arranged the marriage.

This isn't just a sister, she's practically a stepmother!

Wang Changhai stood there, not saying a word. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he felt like an outsider, unable to get a word in edgewise.

"Brother, how long until the prefectural exam?" Wang asked.

"Ten days left."

“Then you should study hard these days. Your brother-in-law and I will try to pull some strings for you. No, your brother-in-law can’t do it. He’s not very bright and might say the wrong thing. Let me do it.”

Wang Changhai: ...!?

That's enough.

Whose wife always complains that her husband is no good?

Oh dear, when will married men truly be able to stand up for themselves?

If Lin Fan knew what the leader was thinking, he would definitely say, "Leader, you've stood up for yourself. After all, you're so blatant about having a mistress, and my sister even allowed it and didn't say anything. This is something that many men wouldn't even dare to dream of."

Lin Fan is very focused on the Security Bureau exam and has been working hard lately. With his current grasp of the law, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Thank you, sis."

"Look, you're saying thank you again. Don't say that anymore. You're being too formal with your older sister." "..."

Evening, in the shantytown.

Zhao Er, a lowly henchman in the Fierce Tiger Gang, dragged his weary body back home. Standing at his doorstep, he stopped, wiped the sweat from his face, patted his round cheeks, and forced a smile.

"Mom, I'm back."

Push the door open and enter.

He wanted to appear happy and relaxed so his mother wouldn't worry about him. He had been hiding the fact that he was a low-level gangster, but a gossipy neighbor told his mother, "Your Zhao Er is involved in a gang. He's always fighting and getting into brawls. He could easily get into trouble."

He was so angry that he wanted to confront his neighbor, but in the end he decided against it.

He's not home, and his mother has difficulty walking, so sometimes they have to trouble the neighbors. If they strain their relationship, what will happen if his mother has an emergency and there's no one to help her, and he doesn't even know about it?

But as soon as he entered the house, he was shocked to see two people in his home, while his mother was lying on the bed, looking at Zhao Er with worried eyes.

Zhao Er recognized one of them as Yuan Jiang's advisor, the one with the white paper fan from their office.

As for the other person, he didn't recognize him, but judging from his burly physique, he should be the advisor's henchman.

"Master Li, what brings you to my house?" Zhao Er asked nervously.

He was just a low-level member of the gang, and it was impossible for him to have any dealings with the advisor, let alone be remembered by him. If the advisor did remember him, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Master Li, holding a paper fan, smiled broadly and said, "Zhao Er, you're back."

"Ah."

"It's good to be back. How long have you been in the guild?"

“Master, I’ve been under the master’s command for half a year now.”

"Six months is not a long time, but it's not short either. You've worked diligently and conscientiously under the hall master's supervision, and he's seen all of that."

The less Zhao Er said about the situation, the more frightened he became.

"Master, Master, is something wrong?" Zhao Er swallowed hard and asked nervously.

Master Li tapped his fingers on the table and said, "The gang leader killed someone. Originally, burying him would have been enough, but the commotion was a bit too much, and too many people know about it. The deceased's family has been causing trouble at the yamen. We need to send someone out to take the blame. Are you willing to take the blame for the gang leader?"

As soon as these words came out.

Zhao Er's face turned deathly pale.

Pfft!
Zhao Er knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master Li, please let me go. My mother still needs my care. She can't leave me. Please, Master Li, have mercy and let me go."

Ignoring Zhao Er's pleas for mercy, Master Li laughed and said, "The head of the hall knows your filial piety, so what the head of the hall means is that as long as you take the blame, the hall will treat your mother's illness and take care of her life from now on."

Lying on the bed, Zhao Shi struggled to raise her hand, knocking over the medicine bowl beside her. Startled, Zhao Er crawled to his knees on the ground, reached the bedside, and held his mother's hand, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"Let me die."

He was weak and listless.

"Mother, don't say that. I won't take the blame, I won't go, please don't say that." Zhao Er's eyes were red with helplessness. He knew that his mother didn't want to be a burden to him and was thinking of committing suicide.

Master Li gave a wink to the thugs beside him.

The thug instantly understood, walked over to Zhao Er, grabbed his hair, kicked him to the ground, picked up a bowl from the ground, smashed it, picked up the shards, and looked at Zhao Er mockingly.

"The advisor's meaning is very clear: you have no choice but to take the blame. If you still refuse, your mother will die right now. If you are willing to take the blame, the advisor will take pity on you and actually treat your mother. So, tell me, what do you want to choose?"

Despair and helplessness enveloped them.

He knew they were capable of doing it.

The gang leader killed someone, which would normally be fine, but the commotion was so great that the people saw the body. If they hadn't seen it, the matter would have blown up and no one would have cared at all.

Even if the family makes a fuss, it won't help.

He was just struggling to make ends meet, and now that this had happened to him, he knew he couldn't escape it.

"I, I'll take it."

This simple answer exhausted all his strength, and he collapsed to the ground, feeling like a puppet on a string, his life being controlled.

Master Li nodded with satisfaction, got up and walked outside. The smell here was too unpleasant, and he didn't want to stay a moment longer. He still had to attend a banquet later, and he was already fantasizing about which girl he would be making love with tonight.

I opened the door, just about to go out.

Li Shiye's expression froze. In his eyes, a hand reached out, grabbed his face, and pushed him into the house with great force, leaving him no room to resist.

Who?
Who grabbed my face and pushed me into the house?

Who is it?

soon.

Cracking sounds came from inside the house, accompanied by screams that echoed in the twilight.

Those who don't know the situation might think someone is beating their child.
