The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"So, have you come up with a solution yet? Your previous approach didn't work on me at all. I already said I don't need any money from the bank, I only need cash."

Fang Yun's expression infuriated Chen Lin even more, making him wish he could tear him apart.

"Fine, if you don't believe I can't handle you today, you just wait."

"If you don't have a bank card, then you must have a job, right? Otherwise, tell me how you make a living?"

Chen Lin suddenly thought of this and laughed smugly.

“Even if you’re a construction worker carrying bricks, I’ll make sure you can’t make a living that way. This is what happens when you offend me,” Chen Lin said.

"Go ahead and investigate, as long as you have the ability."

Fang Yun stood there, looking amused. He planned to teach these people a lesson today, to prevent them from bullying Zhou Min again, which was something he didn't want to see.

Then, the man named Chen Lin had someone check Fang Yun's registration information. Nowadays, wherever there is a need for staff, the list of staff needs to be entered into the network, which makes it easier to check.

Fortunately, Chen Lin knew someone in this field. After making a long phone call and reluctantly promising the person even more favorable terms, a person in charge of information and data began to continue searching based on Fang Yun's photo.

Three minutes later, Chen Lin's phone rang. When he saw that it was the person he had just asked to call, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Kid, I'll find out where you are soon. I'll definitely notify your boss and fire you right away. Let's see how you'll be begging me then!"

Chen Lin answered the phone with a smile, and a male voice immediately came from the other end.

“Brother Chen Lin, this city has such a large population. Even if I used a machine to check for you, I couldn’t finish in a short time. And you know how much risk I would have to bear if this kind of thing were discovered to be used for private purposes…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin's face immediately turned red, and he shouted into the phone, "Didn't we just reach an agreement? I'll get you the best possible deal on the loan. Why are you trying to negotiate with me again...?"

"It's not that I want to negotiate with you, it's just that this matter is really difficult. Think about it, I have to operate the machine and keep a close watch on things so that I don't get caught..."

The man was halfway through his sentence when Chen Lin finally said impatiently, "Alright, alright, all you want is for me to give you another investment product, right? I'll give it to you, okay?"

"That's good, I'll get back to work then." The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and then hung up.

Meanwhile, Chen Lin's expression was clearly not good. He had actually wasted so many of his resources just to deal with someone like Fang Yun.

Many people had been eyeing that financial product before, and I hadn't given it up because I wanted to use it for something important. I never expected to give it all away today. This is a huge loss.

"Good lad, today I'll make you pay back 1.3 times what you've done for me."

A hint of resentment crept into Chen Lin's gaze as he looked at Fang Yun. If it weren't for him, how could he have acted so rashly?

Now that's bad, he's used up all his trump cards, and it'll be difficult for him to ask for favors when he's about to die.

"What's wrong? You still haven't found it? Why are you so slow? Is this a scam? If I didn't want to keep you company, most people would have left long ago."

Chen Lin angrily said, "If you have the guts, stay for another ten minutes. I guarantee you'll be so scared you'll kneel on the ground begging me!"

Chen Lin said, his anger barely contained.

Chapter 554 Information Ascertained

Fang Yun ignored him and started talking to Zhou Min as if no one else was around. As for the chubby boy and the other two boys, they were both noisy and confused because their father had not been able to do anything to the other party.

This immediately ignited Chen Lin's anger.

"What's the rush? If it could be done faster, wouldn't I want to be faster?"

Chen Lin's outburst of anger immediately silenced the two children, leaving them stunned and waiting for the man's call before taking any further action.

Just then, a fat man wearing a blue vest was seen walking towards them from not far away, carrying a steel pipe. He was followed by three or four other men dressed similarly.

The chubby boy, who hadn't said much until now, jumped up excitedly and shouted as soon as he saw the man approaching: "Daddy, Daddy, here!"

It turned out that before Fang Yun stepped on Chen Fan's phone, the chubby 19-year-old had used that phone to send a text message to his father, telling him to come over quickly.

He had thought he would have to wait a long time, but they arrived so quickly, with so many people behind them, which made him feel very proud.

"You brat, who messed with you? You're lucky if you don't provoke others, I wonder who dares to mess with you?"

The fat man in blue laughed and cursed when he saw the little fat boy, and then he walked over to Chen Lin and warmly lit him a cigarette.

Fatty's father was a foreman at the construction site, and Chen Lin was in charge of the money, so naturally he wanted to curry favor with Chen Lin.

So, after the chubby boy said that he was with Chen Lin's son and had been provoked, he immediately called a few people and rushed over.

Then, Chen Lin briefly recounted the whole story, though he embellished it considerably.

"Hmph, let alone a cell phone, even if it's just a pencil, if he dares to lay a hand on it, he'll pay the price."

As he spoke, the fat man in blue rolled up his sleeves and said, "Manager Chen, I think we should just make things simple. How about this, I'll have two of my brothers go over and teach him a lesson, that should be enough."

"You want to take him out of his job? Then I'll have my brothers take his livelihood off his hands." The fat man in blue then waved his hand at his men.

"You guys go over there and break both of that kid's arms, and one of his legs too. Just leave the other one, so he doesn't just lie here and nobody cares."

Upon hearing the fat man in blue's words, Chen Lin, who was standing next to him, asked, "Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

"What's so harsh about that? Anyone who crosses our brothers usually ends up like this. Besides, he dared to offend you, Manager Chen, today. He needs to be severely punished, otherwise he won't learn his lesson."

The chubby boy standing nearby excitedly chimed in, "That's right! My dad is really tough. He manages a lot of people at the construction site. If anyone dares to cause trouble, he'll make sure they regret it!"

"You brat, shut up!"

The fat man slapped the chubby boy on the head and laughed and scolded him.

Zhou Min was stunned by the sight of the enemy's formation. Normally, she would have already turned weak in the knees and wanted to run away.

But for some reason, she stood here firmly today.

"Big brother, you'd better run! These people are all so fat, they definitely can't outrun you!"

Zhou Min glanced at Fang Yun and said anxiously.

Fang Yun remained unmoved, and instead asked her with a smile, "What will you do if I leave?"

Zhou Min forced herself to say, "There are so many adults here, they shouldn't bully a child like me, right? You can just run away."

Although that's what she said, Zhou Min was also very unsure of herself, and her voice grew softer and softer.

At this moment, the fat man's eyes also turned over, shooting directly at Zhou Min. He then borrowed a steel pipe from someone, held it in his hand, and looked at Zhou Min with ill intent.

"Zhou Min, Zhou Min, you're involved in today's events too, and you can't escape it!"

The chubby boy, relying on his father's power, had nothing to fear. He only dared not directly retaliate because Fang Yun was the one hitting him, but he was still very arrogant towards Zhou Min.

When Fang Yun saw that the chubby boy actually said that, he asked coldly, "What did she do to offend you that you want to teach him such a lesson?"

The chubby boy didn't say anything, just chuckled. The fat man in blue said displeasedly, "You should mind your own business first. It's my son's freedom to discipline whomever he wants. It's none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun exclaimed "Good!" three times.

"As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. I've seen it all today. I was originally going to go easy on you and let you realize your mistakes, but now I think it's unnecessary."

At this moment, two men wielding steel pipes approached Fang Yun, about to smash him with the pipes, but Fang Yun suddenly struck with lightning speed, kicking the two men several meters away.

This immediately stunned everyone present, and even the cigarette dangling from the blue-clad, fat man's mouth was dropped in surprise.

Chapter 555 Jaw-dropping shock

"No...it can't be."

The group was so shocked by what they saw that their jaws nearly dislocated.

"No wonder this kid looked so confident just now. Turns out he knows a thing or two. Well then, don't blame me for not holding back!"

The fat man in the blue shirt spat out the cigarette from his mouth. If he didn't teach Chen Lin a lesson in front of the kids and Chen Lin today, he wouldn't be able to make a living outside.

"You all better perk up, don't look so sluggish. That kid's only surprise attack was that kick just now, now it's his death day, don't hold back, use whatever moves you can."

The fat man in blue also realized that he couldn't be careless when dealing with someone who had mastered martial arts, or he would be the one to suffer.

And given the circumstances today, he can't afford to make a mistake.

At that moment, Fang Yun suddenly raised his head and gave them a cold look.

"Are you sure you still want to try? I can tell you in advance that if you dare to make a move, the consequences will be very difficult for you to accept."

Fang Yun's words stunned everyone, and they were all momentarily speechless. It was the man in blue who slapped the person next to him.

"What are you thinking? No matter how powerful he is, he's just one person. Are you all afraid? Charge! Otherwise, none of you will have dinner tonight."

Seeing that they were stubborn and unrepentant, Fang Yun sighed and shook his head.

He simply couldn't muster much energy to deal with these people; they were just a bunch of ants. Even if he swatted them all to death, what would be the point? It would only dirty his hands.

"What are you doing?!"

At that moment, Chen Lin suddenly shouted from behind, "Stop!"

Upon hearing Chen Lin speak, the chubby man in blue turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Chen Lin didn't say much, but quickly waved for the fat man in blue and his group to go over.

The fat man in blue, puzzled, led his men away and then walked to Chen Lin's side.

"Manager Chen, what's going on? We were already halfway there, and now we're backing down. Isn't that demoralizing? That kid might even think we're afraid of him."

The fat man in blue was clearly puzzled.

"It's because I have important news to tell you. If you actually rush up there, you might be in big trouble."

"What's so terrible about it? That kid is pretty good, but if so many of us can't subdue him, then we're all doomed."

The fat man in blue was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Lin's disdain.
