Chapter 117 - We Are the Young Master's Faithful Servants

“Lin Fan seems to be busy with something again recently. He's never home.”

In the hallway, Zhou Yan complained to Lu Zhai behind him without turning his head as he climbed the stairs.

For the past few days, whenever he sent a message to Lin Fan, the reply was always that he was busy with something, had no free time, and that they shouldn't come looking for him.

He didn't get it. He was a homebody who wrote novels. It's not like he had to go out to work. What could he possibly be so busy with?

Don't tell me he's busy saving the world?

Today, he had to come over and see what was going on, no matter what!

Knock knock knock.

Zhou Yan arrived at the door and knocked lightly.

Click.

The door opened, and a shirtless Longye, revealing an eight-pack, appeared before Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai.

“Who are you looking for?”

“……”

Staring at Longye's sturdy muscles and his body covered in dragon tattoos, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai couldn't help but swallow nervously, frozen on the spot in fright.

Wait, aren't we knocking on Lin Fan's door? Who is this guy…?

His muscles are a little too developed! He looks like a triad boss...

The kind of guy who looks like he could crack both our skulls open with one hand…

“S-Sorry, I think I'm at the wrong place…”

Zhou Yan gave a sheepish smile, quickly bowed his head to apologize, and, grabbing Lu Zhai, turned to leave.

Halfway down, he stopped and looked back at the floor number marked in the hallway.

“No, this is right! It's the sixth floor!”

Zhou Yan frowned, scratching his cheek, a look of confusion on his face.

He was as familiar with the way to Lin Fan's place as he was with his own home. He could walk it with his eyes closed; there was no way he could have gotten it wrong!

Zhou Yan looked at the door again and discovered that the familiar door was gone, replaced by a brand-new one.

This made him hesitate once again.

The floor was right, the location was right, but the door was different.

Is this Lin Fan's place or not…?

Zhou Yan looked at Lu Zhai with a puzzled expression. Lu Zhai carefully examined the surroundings and nodded affirmatively.

“That's right, this should be Lin Fan's home.”

So then, the question is, the one who just opened the door wasn't Lin Fan, nor was it sister-in-law. So who was that guy?

With suspicious looks on their faces, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai cautiously walked back to the door and knocked again.

Knock knock knock.

The door opened again. This time, it was Meizhi who opened it.

Seeing Meizhi's unreasonably handsome face, both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai were shocked again.

Who is this guy? Aren't you a little too handsome…!

“You look like that… peerlessly handsome man from the news?!”

After sizing him up carefully, Zhou Yan was startled into recognition and identified the Meizhi before him.

He had seen his photo in the news on his phone before; the real person looked exactly the same as in the picture.

“Who are you?” Meizhi asked, his brow furrowed.

Before Zhou Yan and the others could answer, Lin Fan's voice came from inside the room.

“They are my friends. Let them in.”

“The De... Young Master's friends?”

Meizhi was startled, then immediately switched to a respectful attitude, stepping aside and bowing to welcome them:

“Forgive my rudeness. Since you are the Young Master's friends, please come in.”

This sudden show of respect and welcome left both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai stunned.

That's a pretty big change in attitude... And what's with 'Young Master'?

It's only been a few days since we were last here. How did things change so much all of a sudden?

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai walked into the room and immediately saw Longye, the man they had met earlier, lifting the sofa with one hand to exercise.

And on that sofa sat a fair and pretty girl with a dazed expression, holding a cup of water in her hands.

From the doorway, they could also clearly hear the clack-clack sound of a keyboard and mouse coming from the bedroom.

Lin Fan and Long Yue were both in the living room, so clearly the person in the bedroom wasn't anyone they knew.

Zhou Yan curiously peeked inside and saw a petite and cute girl sitting at the computer desk, completely engrossed in a game. Her two short legs couldn't even reach the floor, but her control was incredibly fluid and sharp.

“Lin Fan, who are they…?”

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai turned to look at Lin Fan with confusion.

“We are the Young Master's faithful servants.”

Just as Lin Fan was trying to think of a reasonable way to bullshit Zhou Yan and the others, Meizhi had already stepped forward and, with a hand on his chest, answered piously and respectfully.

“Faithful… servants…?”

Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai's expressions grew even more puzzled as they stared at Lin Fan, seeking confirmation.

“That's right, that's what it is…”

Since it had come to this, Lin Fan had no choice but to go along with Meizhi's words and admit it.

The moment he spoke, both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai gave him a skeptical look that clearly said, 'Do we look like we believe you?'

A line like that might fool other people, but how could it possibly fool the two of them!

As his best friends who had practically grown up with him, the two of them even knew what color underwear he wore.

You've been an orphan since you were a kid! Where would you get servants from!

“Her too…?”

Zhou Yan asked, pointing at Mokui, who was engrossed in her game in the bedroom.

The other three were one thing, but this little girl who didn't even look like she had finished middle school was also a servant?

Since when do servants get to sit in the master's house and play games?

“Uh… she's a relative's kid.”

Lin Fan casually came up with an excuse.

As soon as he said this, both Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai narrowed their eyes, giving him a look that said, 'Are you kidding me?’

Hold on, you're an orphan. Your closest 'family' is us two bros. Where did these 'relatives' come from?

Wait! An orphan?

Thinking of the word 'orphan,' Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly trembled.

An orphan... doesn't that mean he has a mysterious background?!

“Lin Fan… don't tell me you're…?”

“What am I…?”

Lin Fan probed, his heart also growing nervous.

Could it be that this kid Zhou Yan has already figured out my true identity?

If so, then I might have to use the great memory-erasing technique…

Under the apprehensive gazes of Lin Fan, Long Yue, and the others, Zhou Yan raised a hand, pointed at Lin Fan, and guessed in a solemn, deep voice:

“Lin Fan, your true identity is actually the son of some prominent triad boss, isn't it?!”

Disappearing for a year and suddenly having a huge change in his aura and physique… First, a peerlessly beautiful woman appears by his side, and then several servants show up to wait on him, respectfully calling him 'Young Master'.

One of them is even covered in ferocious dragon tattoos. From his aura, he doesn't look like a servant at all, but more like a professional bodyguard or assassin!

In reality, during the year he was missing, Lin Fan wasn't taken to undergo some genetic modification, but was found by his triad father and trained to become a mafia young master!

His father wants him to inherit the family business, but he doesn't want to, so he escaped the family with sister-in-law and returned here to hide his identity!

And now, these so-called 'servants' are the ones who have been sent to find him and ask him to return to the family to inherit the position of patriarch!

That's it! This deduction is completely reasonable!

“Wake up. The triads are illegal in our country…”

Lin Fan was too exhausted to even retort. The great weight in his heart was finally lifted.

Thankfully, this kid Zhou Yan only thought he was some mafia young master and didn't suspect his identity as the Demon Sovereign.

An orphan who suddenly transforms into a mafia young master... has this kid been reading too many urban novels…
