Zhonghai, Tranquility Garden.

This is a very ordinary courtyard, different from the bustle of the modern city of Zhonghai, everything here looks very retro, and there is not even light and cables.

Since there was no electricity, lighting at night had to rely on candles. The dim flickering candlelight made the shadows around him sway, quite eerie.

"My grandfather is waiting for you inside." Lin Xiaojiao said, "You can go in by yourself." ”

"It's kind of like entering a haunted house." Meng Fan didn't really like this kind of environment, especially in dimly lit places, which made him instinctively wary.

After entering the gate, there is a large courtyard, similar to the pattern of the Qiao family's compound on TV.

In the middle of the compound, there is a rocking chair with a small table next to it with a candle on it. On the rocking chair, an old man in a Tang costume was squinting, not knowing whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep.

Sou......

In the blink of an eye, the old man in the rocking chair had disappeared in front of Meng Fan, and in the next second, he felt a dangerous aura appear behind him.

"Heh......" Meng Fan shouted, turned around and slashed out with a palm knife.

Boom......

The palm knife and the opponent's fist collided hard, and the other party took two steps back, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of Meng Fan again.

"Your strength is far beyond my expectations." At this time, the old man in Tang costume appeared on the rocking chair again.

"Old Lin, your body is too powerful." Meng Fan said with a smile, "It can't be the legendary Ghost Shadow Step, right?" ”

He had read a lot of classics from his master, and the other party's pace was very similar to the 'Ghost Shadow Step' in Gu Wu, this kind of pace was very fast, and it was very suitable for attacking.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to be well-informed." It was Lin Lao who was on the rocking chair, he was not only a business giant, but also a master of ancient martial arts.

Meng Fan smiled: "According to legend, if you cultivate the Ghost Shadow Step, you must be in a dim environment for many years, and now I finally know why the environment here is so eerie and terrifying." ”

"It seems eerie to you, but I love it here." Lin Lao waved his hand and said, "Where the light is too bright, I feel awkward. ”

"It's not just awkward, right? The ghost step is a very powerful body technique that requires a lot of leg strength and flexibility. Lin Lao's legs must be uncomfortable. Meng Fan stepped aside, took a chair and sat down.

Lin Lao was very shocked in his heart, he didn't mind leaking out the things he hated about light, but he never told him about his legs.

What Meng Fan said was not wrong at all, when he first practiced the Ghost Shadow Step, he felt that his whole body was very light and his leg strength was very strong, but then it slowly changed. He only kicks out now except when he has to fight, otherwise, he can not kick without kicking. Because every time I get out of my foot, there is a pain in my lower body.

"President Meng, you are a doctor. But it's not a good thing to know too much either. Lin Lao said coldly.

Meng Fan said: "If Lin Lao wants to kill me, forget it, my strength may not be able to kill you, but if you want to leave, there will be no difficulty." Of course, as a doctor, I have a responsibility to keep the confidentiality of my patients. ”

"You really won't say it?" Lin Lao stared at Meng Fan, in the dim light, it looked a little eerie and terrifying.

Meng Fan responded: "If I walk out of this gate now, I will definitely say it." ”

"Hehe, you want hush money?" Lin Lao immediately understood what Meng Fan meant, wasn't this clearly asking for hush money? Otherwise, why talk like that?

"Lin Lao really understands things, but this is not a hush money, but a consultation fee." Meng Fan said, "As you said, I am a doctor, I will point out the abnormalities of your body, and you should naturally give me the consultation fee." Only in this way can the doctor-patient relationship be constituted. Otherwise, we are strangers. I broke out a stranger's secret, isn't it? ”

Lin Lao's body leaned back again, and the whole person was attached to the rocking chair, he was still a little scared in his heart at first, but now that Meng Fan has proposed hush money, it will be different.

"As far as I know, you have already taken fifteen hundred million from my grandson Lin Feng. You're asking me for money again? That's a lot of appetite, isn't it? Lin Lao's speech was very slow, as if everything was gradually under his control.

Meng Fan shook his head and said, "Lin Feng's fifteen hundred million is the punishment he wants to snatch things from me. In other words, this is the tuition fee he has to pay, in fact, it also helps you to recognize that some people in the family are actually useless. ”

"It's a little interesting, although our Lin family doesn't have much money, we can still afford a little hush money." Lin Lao took a leaky pipe made of bamboo at this time, and took a puff, "Say, how much do you want?" ”

A giant like him in the middle of the sea, what cigarette do you want? But he only likes the old-fashioned pipes of the old Chinese era, which can be turned into pipes by making a few holes in a bamboo tube and filling it with some water.

"Billion." Meng Fan stretched out a finger.

"Ahem...... Why don't you grab it? A billion hush money? You can't be poor and crazy, right? Originally, Lin Lao felt that he was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai because he had the initiative.

But Meng Fan's offer made him unable to calm down anymore, one mouth is one billion, just one hush money, which is too much.

"Old Lin, I haven't finished my words yet." Meng Fan was very satisfied with the other party's performance, "I just said that it is the consultation fee, but in fact, the billion also includes medical expenses. ”

"Huh?" Lin Lao threw away the bamboo pipe and sat up: "You mean you can help me heal my leg?" ”

"It may not be completely cured, but I can delay your paralysis." Meng Fan said.

"Joke, my leg will be paralyzed? I'm practicing ghost shadow steps, and I've seen the best posture I've ever seen. Lin Lao didn't believe Meng Fan's appearance, he could have laid down a piece of the country in Zhonghai at the beginning, and the ghost shadow step played a major role, and now you told him that it would cause paralysis, of course he didn't believe it.

Meng Fan waved his hand and said, "Old Lin, I am a doctor, there is no need to lie to you." The ghost step takes the human legs to the extreme, but it also comes with negative effects. Do you feel a little numb in your legs every time you finish a fight? That's the negative side. Within three years, your legs will be paralyzed. ”

Lin Lao involuntarily clenched his fist: "You can really cure it?" ”

Actually, what Meng Fan said is not wrong at all, he is actually very good physically and mentally, but he has problems with his legs from time to time. He has been researching for a long time, but he has not come up with a single reason.

"Of course, in fact, this is mainly due to the excessive depletion of the meridians in your legs when you were young. If I'm not mistaken, you used a lot of medicinal herbs to soak your feet in order to cultivate the Ghost Shadow Step, right? This will certainly improve the flexibility of your legs. But it will also speed up the aging of those meridians. ”

Meng Fan smiled and said: "This thing is like drinking wine, give you a bottle of two pots, and if you pour it all into it at once, you will naturally run out of wine soon." ”

Lin Lao waved his hand and said: "I understand the reason, you need to tell me, how sure is the success?" ”

He understands his importance very well, if something happens to him, the entire Lin family will definitely set off a big battle for power. Although the Lin family is a big family, once there is an internal problem, it is difficult to guarantee that other big families will not take the opportunity to make trouble.

And now the biggest problem is that the strength of the younger generation is not strong enough, originally he thought that Lin Feng and Lin Xiaojiao's abilities were very good, and they could be cultivated well, and they would take over the burden of the family in the future. It's just that I didn't expect to meet Meng Fan this time, but these two people failed miserably.

"I can't cure your leg, but I can alleviate it." Meng Fan said, "Originally, your legs would be paralyzed in less than three years, but I can help you delay it to ten years." Ten years later, you still can't escape the fate of paralysis. ”

With Meng Fan's current strength, it is indeed impossible to cure the other party's disease, and a delay of ten years is already the limit.

Lin Lao pondered, that is to say, he can postpone being completely paralyzed for about seven years, and in seven years, the younger generation of the family should be able to hold up a piece of the sky.

"Money is not an issue, how do you do it?" Lin Lao looked at Meng Fan and said.

Meng Fan said directly: "Acupuncture is at least performed in three years, once every month in the first year, once every quarter in the second year, and only once in the third year. ”

Lin Lao suddenly laughed: "Your little abacus is really good. In this way, our Lin family will not be able to attack Longjiang in three years, and we will not be able to take you as an enemy. will even become your allies, and the Feng family in Zhonghai will naturally be contained. ”

Meng Fan nodded: "Lin Lao is really an old fritter, and this insight juniors are far inferior." ”

He did play with the idea, and that's the best way to deal with it at the moment.

Originally, he didn't plan to have anything to do with Zhonghai at all, because he still had to deal with God's armed people. But Lin Xiaojiao also seized the opportunity to deal with the Zhang family, of course he couldn't stand idly by.

As a result, some of the balance between the entire Zhonghai and Longjiang was broken. Zhonghai's strength is better than Longjiang's, if they wait for Meng Fan to go abroad before making a move, it will be a big disaster for Longjiang.

In fact, he could have chosen to give up the Zhang family in exchange for a short period of peace. But instead of doing so, he went straight into Zhonghai and made a big fuss. Originally, his plan was just to deal with Lin Xiaojiao, but he didn't expect to bring Lin Feng and Feng Po in.

In this way, there is even more tension between Zhonghai and Longjiang, and he must stay in Zhonghai to stabilize the situation, so there is a meeting tonight.

"Meng Fan, I have to say, you are more powerful than the younger generation of our Lin family." Lin Lao sighed with emotion, "I have read your detailed information, and your Longjiang can be regarded as self-made. Unlike my children and grandchildren, who can directly use family resources. ”

"The seniors are polite, they just came out to stutter." Meng Fan said with a smile, "How did the seniors think about it?" ”

Ha ha......

At this moment, a laugh came, and then an old man in a Tang costume broke into the compound.

"Old Ghost Lin, you still like to shrink in this kind of black-lit place." Although the old man is not young, he is very energetic, and he walks on the hegemonic road.
