The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 212: Showing Goodwill Again
Seduction, sheer seduction.
Although Su Fan was somewhat moved by the other party, he was more aware that she was a rose with thorns. Provoking her would likely hurt his hands first.
"Miss Lin, are you ill?"
Su Fan asked in a calm tone.
The visitor was none other than Lin Qianjiao, the leader of Baihua Society, whom Su Fan had once saved.
Su Fan's words carried a hint of rebuke, which immediately soured Lin Qianjiao's expression.
Liu Ye furrowed her brow slightly, her pupils constricted, and she looked at Su Fan with a touch of slight displeasure.
"In Yang City, you are the only man who dares talk to me like this. Do you think I really wouldn't dare do anything to you?"
Su Fan laughed off her words with indifference.
"Miss Lin, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I am a doctor, after all. Are you not here to see a doctor?"
Though Baihua Society was formidable, Su Fan would not bow to any evil forces.
"Hehe."
Lin Qianjiao smiled faintly.
"Divine Doctor Su, you really do have a sense of humor. Can't I visit you if I don't have a reason?"
Su Fan's attitude remained indifferent.
"I assume President Lin isn't here to flirt?"
The words "to flirt" made Lin Qianjiao blush.
She then laughed lightly.
"Divine Doctor Su, you really are humorous. Well, let me be direct then."
"I have two matters to discuss."
"First, I want to congratulate you on your upcoming appointment as the president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association."
"Should you be able to consolidate the martial arts world of Yang City, your power will surpass any underworld influence within the city. You would effectively become the true emperor of the territory. In the future, we from Baihua Society will need more of your care."
Lin Qianjiao's attitude was very respectful.
This woman indeed knew how to judge the occasion well.
Su Fan, who truly did not wish to have much to do with these underworld forces, responded with neither servility nor overbearing indifference.
"You received the news so quickly of something that happened just two hours ago. Your information network is indeed efficient."
"I have not yet decided about that matter. As for whether or not to accept the position of president of the Martial Arts Association, that is a matter for later."
Lin Qianjiao was somewhat displeased with Su Fan's attitude.
Here she was, this night rose, unprecedentedly lowering her posture to a man. Yet every time, Su Fan would behave as if he was pushing everyone away from thousands of miles away—didn't she have even this little bit of allure?
Nevertheless, Lin Qianjiao still had great tact; she did not erupt but instead smiled and said,
"Divine Doctor Su, may I advise you, since you are a man of great righteousness, eager to support justice, then it's best for you to take the position of president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association. Ever since the former president died, the martial arts community of Yang City has been fragmented, with incessant private conflicts among the major martial academies, severely disrupting public order. It urgently needs someone to stabilize the situation."
"By taking the role of president, you would settle the martial arts world of Yang City like a calm sea divine needle. The citizens of Yang City will certainly thank you, and the city officials will also give you respect. This can only benefit you, and there is no harm."
Su Fan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
Clearly, Lin Qianjiao's analysis had struck a chord, tempting him.
Following this, Lin Qianjiao spoke again.
"Additionally, I have a second matter to inform you of."
"Zhao Long, the Gang Leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, has spent a substantial sum to hire a martial artist who may have reached the Burst Qi realm, specifically to target you."
"He will arrive in Yang City soon, and it's very likely that he'll make his move during your inauguration as the president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association."
"You must be cautious."
"A Burst Qi martial artist?"
Su Fan's expression instantly turned very serious.
