Chapter 88: A Pair of Twins
"I've got the information you asked me to look into, but you have to do me a favor!"
That evening after work, just as Zhou Fan and Chu Yan were finishing dinner, Fan came looking for him.
"Do you a favor? No way. When you come looking for me, it's never for anything good!"
Zhou Fan shook his head like a rattle. He plopped down shamelessly on a bench and lit an after-dinner cigarette.
"It's not really a favor for me. It's about that fake couple—the man's name is Li Yang, and the woman is Wang Yun. Are you sure you don't want to get revenge for your wife?"
Fan wasn't in a hurry either. He copied Zhou Fan, lighting a cigarette of his own. He was confident Zhou Fan wouldn't just ignore this.
"Not interested. I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife." But to Fan's surprise, Zhou Fan didn't even glance at him, remaining completely unfazed.
'Trying to get one over on me?'
'You're still too green for that. I was the one who had that information leaked to you in the first place!'
"Fine, what's your condition?"
In the end, Fan was the one to compromise, cursing under his breath.
Xiaojiu, who was standing to the side, was speechless. 'How can my boss be so dense?'
'Can't he see that Zhou Fan is just playing a waiting game to see who can hold out longer?'
"Lend me ten of your Wolf Fang members to use!" Zhou Fan chuckled. He knew this guy couldn't hold out as long as him. Sucking up, he quickly offered Fan a cigarette, his expression as sycophantic as could be.
"I can't just 'lend' them. They're people with free will. It's not my call to make!" Fan rolled his eyes at Zhou Fan, speechless. He couldn't believe how this guy's attitude could change faster than flipping through a book.
"I know that. Just take me there. I'll pick them myself and then ask for their consent. If they agree, I'll take them. If they don't, I absolutely won't force them!" Seeing that Fan hadn't refused outright, Zhou Fan quickly jogged into the room and came back with two bottles of fine liquor. "Buddy, I know you like to drink, so I saved these especially for you. How's that for a friend, huh?"
"I'm starting to wonder if you're really that same arrogant Nether King I used to know. You're so shameless!" Fan scoffed, but his hands moved quickly to accept the liquor.
"Let's go. We'll head out right now!" Zhou Fan was getting impatient. He called out a quick goodbye to Chu Yan, then started dragging Fan out the door.
"Hey, what's the rush?"
"I have to rush, man. I'm short on time. If I had more time, do you really think I'd be desperate for a few of your people?"
"Fuck, you're not desperate? Well, now *I'm* not willing to lend them to you!"
The two of them bickered the whole way. Xiaojiu, who was driving, wished he could just drive the car into the river and take them all out with him.
Wolf Fang had a training camp at their Nanjiang City branch. It was filled with young people who had some basic skills but lacked the strength, mentality, and experience required for real missions.
"Everyone, drop what you're doing and assemble over here!" Fan clapped his hands to get everyone's attention, then waved them over. Since he had decided to help Zhou Fan, he wasn't going to hold back.
"There are fifty-three in total. Take your pick."
Hearing Fan's words, Zhou Fan slowly stepped forward, his deep-set eyes sweeping over each person. "You ten. Step out."
As Zhou Fan finished speaking, ten people stepped out from the group in confusion—seven men and three women.
"You ten. Do you think you're tough? How many people can you take on at once?" Zhou Fan stared at them, his voice low but clear enough for everyone to hear.
"I can take on ten!"
"I can take on seven!"
"I can take on..."
For a moment, they all started chattering, trying to show off. They didn't know who Zhou Fan was, but they recognized Fan. Guessing this might be their chance to officially join Wolf Fang, they did their best to boast about their skills.
"Oh, really? That impressive? All right, I'll give you a chance. The ten of you, attack me together. It doesn't matter who, but if any of you can so much as injure me, I'll approve your official entry into Wolf Fang on your captain's behalf." Zhou Fan gave the group an arrogant look. "But, if you're all talk and have no real skill, then you'll tuck your tails between your legs, leave Wolf Fang, and be trained by my people from now on."
Everyone has a temper. Hearing Zhou Fan's arrogant words and seeing Fan nod in agreement, the recruits couldn't take it anymore. They rushed forward and surrounded Zhou Fan.
"Get him!"
Someone in the group shouted the command, and they all swarmed him.
Seeing this, Fan facepalmed. He didn't even need to see how it would end.
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, eight people were lying on the ground. Only a pair of girls who hadn't joined the attack were still standing.
They were a pair of twins. From their figures and faces to their height, and even their clothes, everything was identical.
"What, you two got scared?" Zhou Fan raised an eyebrow, looking at the two young women with disdain.
