Chapter 58: The Truth
When this happened, everyone had no interest in continuing to play, so they went down the mountain together and rode back to Los Angeles.
As soon as he returned to the Zhao family's residence in Los Angeles, Zhao De immediately said goodbye to Chen Fan, and he wanted to tell Zhao Jun what happened today as soon as possible. Chen Fan didn't care, and after returning to his residence, he first comforted Luo Qingyun softly, until he confirmed that she was not affected by what happened today, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Chen Fan had already determined that the mastermind behind today's incident was the Lin Tian he met yesterday, there was no evidence, and he didn't even know whether Lin Tian's name was true or false, who he was, and where he lived, so even if he wanted to settle accounts with him, he had nowhere to go.
Luo Qingyun saw Chen Fan frowning, bowing his head and contemplating, knowing that he was thinking about things, he didn't bother him very interestingly, and turned around and left after a while.
Chen Fan was alone, sitting on a chair in the living room and thinking silently.
I don't know how long later, a maid came in to tell me that Zhao Kuo came to visit.
Chen Fan happened to have something to find him, so he immediately went out to greet Zhao Kuo, this time Zhao Kuo was accompanied by Zhao De and Zhao Rong, Chen Fan sat down with the three of them, and said a few polite words, and then went back to the topic.
"I'm really sorry that Brother Chen was frightened by the old man's inconsiderate thinking about what happened to Brother Chen today. Zhao Kuo opened his mouth and first apologized to Chen Fan, and then, his face sank, and he clenched his fists and said: "We will definitely find out about this matter, and give Brother Chen an explanation, no matter who they are, I will not stop there." ”
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, stood up, and bowed his hand to Zhao Kuo and said, "Thank you, Hall Master Zhao." ”
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Ade has already told me about this matter, and I have already arranged for someone to check the identity of the group of people who came to kill you, and there should be news soon." ”
Zhao Kuo said this to comfort Chen Fan, not wanting him to be affected by this incident and his good impression of the Zhao family. When Zhao De reported to him just now, he was taken aback, but what surprised Zhao Kuo the most was the super strength that Chen Fan showed in this battle, and it was for this reason that Zhao De rushed to comfort Chen Fan immediately after receiving the report, and promised to track down the murderer behind the scenes, and never let Chen Fan have a bad feeling for the Zhao family.
Zhao Kuo's words were sonorous, and he said loudly: "Brother Chen, don't worry, we will investigate to the end." Anyone who dares to harm you will be my enemy, and I will never allow them to exist in this world. ”
Although he knew that Zhao Kuo would do this because he had use value, but it was rare for Zhao Kuo to be able to make such a sincere commitment, Chen Fan smiled faintly and said: "There is a Lao Hall Master who bothered, but I suspect that this matter is related to the Lin Tian we met yesterday, I wonder if the Hall Master can help me find out who he is?"
When Zhao Kuo heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange, and he paused for a long time before saying, "We have found out." ”
"Found out?" Chen Fan was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine Zhao Kuo's speed being so fast, and hurriedly asked, "Then who is he?"
Zhao Kuo lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "This person's origin is not simple, he is the younger brother of Lin Fang, the number one young master in Los Angeles. After a pause, Zhao Kuo continued to say to himself: "The Lin family is also a big family in Los Angeles, and its sphere of influence is not under our Zhao family. ”
The master of the Earth Hell Realm was not a threat to Chen Fan, even if he faced it alone, he would not be afraid, so he didn't care, he focused on another question: "Hall Master, do you think today's incident has anything to do with Lin Tian?"
Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, and then said: "I can't be sure, but this is a direction, and I will send someone to investigate." In addition, the group of people who assassinated you on the mountain today, I also sent someone to trace the portrait to see if I can find out their identity. ”
At this time, Chen Fan asked a question that made Zhao Kuo feel very embarrassed: "If it is found out that today's incident is really done by Lin Tian, what will Hall Master Zhao do?"
Zhao Kuo had already thought about this problem before he came, but no matter what he did, he was very embarrassed. If it is found that Lin Tian is the mastermind behind the scenes, then he will definitely have to give Chen Fan an explanation, but what exactly must be done to satisfy Chen Fan? This is a question that is difficult to get a satisfactory answer. Moreover, the Lin family is not easy to mess with, even if Lin Tian really sent someone to kill Chen Fan, would the Zhao family go against such a big family for the sake of a person who had just been recruited?
Zhao Kuo thought silently: It is absolutely impossible! The family elders who are all for the sake of interests will definitely not let themselves do this, but if they don't do anything, how can they explain to Chen Fan?
After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo didn't think of the best of both worlds, so he pushed the question back to Chen Fan: "What do you think I should do?"
When he saw Zhao Kuo's face changing there, Chen Fan knew that he was in a dilemma, and when he heard what he said, he knew that it would be difficult for the Zhao family to help him. He didn't want to take revenge with the help of other people's hands, so he just wanted Zhao Kuo to feel guilty about himself and do things smoothly in the future.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Hall Master Zhao can help me find out the identity of the person who came, I am very grateful, and I will leave the matter to myself in the future." ”
Hearing Chen Fan say this, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little ashamed, rubbed his palms, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, we ...... for this matter."
Chen Fan interrupted Zhao Kuo's apology and said, "Needless to say, I understand, as long as Hall Master Zhao can help me find out the mastermind of this matter, he has already helped me, and I can handle other things myself." ”
Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be secretly grateful when he saw Chen Fan understanding him like this, and swore an oath: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely help you find out who is behind the scenes." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for the good news from Hall Master Zhao!" With that, Chen Fan stood up, intending to leave, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Hall Master Zhao, if there is nothing else, I want to go to cultivation first." ”
"Wait!" Zhao Kuo saw that Chen Fan was leaving, immediately stood up, stopped Chen Fan and said, "Brother Chen, there is one more thing, I want to invite you to participate in a martial arts competition tomorrow." ”
Chen Fan stopped and asked puzzledly, "What kind of competition?"
"It's an informal competition between our Zhao family, the Murong family and the Lin family, and other sects and families in Los Angeles can participate, so you don't need to participate, but..." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo raised his voice again, looked at Chen Fan and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, it's normal to win and lose in martial arts, but after the Lin family won the first place in the two groups, their arrogance immediately became very arrogant, saying that our Zhao family and Murong family have no one, and we can't bear this breath if we don't care about our face in front of so many families and sects." In the family, apart from you, Brother Chen, I can't think of anyone else who can help us. ”
Chen Fan frowned and said puzzledly: "I remember that when I was introduced that day, there were a few people who were also suitable to participate in the competition, why didn't you send them?"
"Yes, yes, but it's useless! Not to mention the youth group, no one can win Lin Fang's, the difference is too far, people don't even need to use a sword, and they easily defeat all the people who went up to challenge him. Zhao Kuo was obviously a little depressed when he spoke, and sighed again and again: "Let's talk about the youth group, except for you, we only have Li Yun, but Li Yun's martial arts are only in the innate realm, and he has just reached it, and the one from the Lin family is in the hell realm, and there is basically no hope of victory, so I want to invite you over." ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Chen Fan readily agreed, he had already seen Lin Tian unpleasant, and secretly thought: Since I can't move you for the time being, I will cripple your people first and recover a little interest.
Seeing Chen Fan agree, Zhao Kuo was overjoyed, stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, okay, Brother Chen, I knew you would agree, I'll arrange it, don't hinder your cultivation first, I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
Zhao Kuo patted Chen Fan's shoulder vigorously, but found that it was like patting on the iron stone, and his palm ached faintly. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, this is really a monster! Chen Fan looks quiet and quiet, and the whole person is like a weak scholar, but judging from his own feelings now, his body is like a person who specializes in cultivating external skills, as hard as iron stone, if he hadn't tried his martial arts and knew that he was cultivating internal skills, he would really think that he was cultivating external skills.
Seeing Zhao Kuo look at his shoulder, and then at his somewhat strange eyes, Chen Fan understood what he was thinking, but did not explain. Ignoring Zhao Kuo no more, Chen Fan turned around and left, went back to his room to continue his cultivation, and tried to reach the next realm as soon as possible.
The next day, Zhao Kuo came over early without even eating breakfast, and after Chen Fan finished washing up and had breakfast with Chen Fan, he set off with Chen Fan, and Luo Qingyun and Yue Wuya also followed them.
Everyone rode fast horses and soon came to the Lin family's residence in the east of Los Angeles.
Among the people who came to watch the competition from the Zhao family this time, not only Zhao Kuo, but also Zhao Jun and Zhao Letian came, and they also brought a few entourages, plus Li Yun and others, and a large group of people walked into the competition venue in the Lin family with a little crowded.
Lin Ding led his sons Lin Fang and Lin Tian to greet the Zhao family, and then arranged for them to take their seats.
As soon as Lin Tian saw Chen Fan, a fierce light immediately flashed in his eyes that others could not detect.
