F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 55 Right in front of you, I'll crush him, inch by inch.

Nightfall engulfed Jiangcheng.

Inside the Skyview Cloud Court, Villa No. 1 was as bright as day.

Wang Shufen hummed a little tune in the spacious kitchen, her smile showing a level of ease she hadn't felt in over a decade.

Chen Xue was curiously exploring the smart control screen on the wall. Every time the voice assistant responded, she would let out a soft exclamation of surprise.

Wang Fugui collapsed onto the huge leather sofa in the living room, clutching a tub of family-sized ice cream, muttering incoherently, "So corrupt, so damn corrupt."

A peaceful and warm place, almost unreal.

Chen Yifan stood on the second floor, quietly watching everything below.

The smiles of his family were the only soft spot in his heart.

It was also the sword in his hand, about to be drawn.

The phone vibrated silently.

It is Luo Tian.

【Done. Your house is now impregnable; not even a mosquito can get in.】

[Also, about half an hour ago, a black minivan stopped for ten minutes downstairs in your old apartment complex. There were two people in the car; they were from the Li family.]

[Ghost Pen, 7 PM tonight, Lanting Club, Room 1 (Top Tier). Kid, don't leave any loose ends.]

Chen Yifan deleted all the messages without expression.

Li Wei.

Not only did he try to ruin himself with public opinion, he actually sent people to his own doorstep.

If I were a step too late...

Thinking of this, the light in Chen Yifan's eyes completely died out.

Now that the enemy has already extended their fangs to our doorstep.

Then you have to tear it apart along with its throat before it bites down.

"Fatty, get on here."

Chen Yifan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly downstairs.

Wang Fugui swallowed the ice cream in a few bites and ran upstairs.

"Fanzi, what's the matter?"

Chen Yifan handed him two military-grade encrypted communication devices.

"You, Xiaoyu, and I will use this single-line communication from now on. Find an opportunity to give Xiaoyu her number."

He stared into Wang Fugui's eyes, his tone utterly serious.

"Remember, tonight, no matter what happens, do not leave the villa. You have only one task: guard this place."

Wang Fugui's simple smile froze instantly; he felt a suffocating sense of impending doom.

"Fanzi, where are you going? Take me with you! I'm tough as nails, I can take it!"

"No."

Chen Yifan shook his head.

"Your mission is more important than mine."

He reached out and patted Wang Fugui heavily on the shoulder.

"This is my bottom line. Absolutely no problems can be allowed."

Feeling that steady force, Wang Fugui swallowed all his words.

He knew that all he had to do was trust.

"Understood."

Wang Fugui nodded emphatically, gripping the two communicators tightly in his hands.

"Go without worry."

"I'm here at home."

……

In the depths of night, at the Lanting Club.

Outside the magnificent gate, cars and people were constantly on the move, but no one noticed a figure in a waiter's uniform silently slipping in through the staff entrance.

Room Tianzi No. 1.

Chen Yifan stopped in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras at the corner of the corridor.

On the phone screen was a diagram of the internal structure provided by Luo Tian.

Confirmed.

The next second, his figure distorted slightly in the air and disappeared into thin air.

When they reappeared, they were in the bathroom of room number one.

He took out the miniature listening device that Luo Tian had generously sponsored and stuck it in the shadows of the door crack.

The conversation inside the room was clearly audible.

"Brother Wei, this move of yours is brilliant!" Li Wei's voice was filled with morbid excitement. "Once Chen Yifan is completely ruined, let's see which of the three top universities would dare to hire him!"

"Young Master Li, this is just an appetizer." Ghost Pen Wei San's voice was hoarse and cold. "Only by trampling him into the mud can we get... what we want."

"Haha, that's right!"

Li Wei let out a nauseating, lewd laugh.

He deliberately lowered his voice, and his greed and evil thoughts almost materialized.

"I sent someone to check out his dilapidated house, and guess what I found?"

"His younger sister... her name is Chen Xue, she's sixteen years old, she's a bit blind, but she's... wow, so pretty she looks like you could squeeze water out of her!"

"Once Chen Yifan becomes a scoundrel whom everyone hates, how will he protect his family?"

"Then, won't his precious little sister have to come crying and begging me?"

"At that time..."

"Hmph! I'll make him kneel outside and listen. I'll let him know that the consequence of offending me, Li Wei, is the destruction of his family and death, a fate worse than death!"

Inside the restroom.

Chen Yifan stood quietly.

When Li Wei mentioned Xue'er, and the phrase "kneel outside and listen,"

boom--

The world in his mind became completely silent.

All reason, plans, pretense... were burned to ashes in that instant.

All that remained was a pure, dark void.

"Alright, Young Master Li, the game is about to begin, please excuse me."

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

Chen Yifan simply and openly pushed open the bathroom door.

The two people who were about to leave the room suddenly stopped talking.

They turned around abruptly.

When Li Wei finally saw the face he had been longing for and hated day and night, he was first taken aback.

Immediately, a morbid ecstasy bloomed on his face.

"Chen Yifan?! Are you fucking here to die?!"

A chilling aura surged from his body, and an ice crystal longbow instantly materialized, its arrowhead aimed directly at Chen Yifan's heart.

However, Chen Yifan didn't even look at him.

He walked as if taking a stroll to the heavy solid wood door of the room.

Click.

Deadbolt.

His gaze swept across the entire room; the soundproofing was perfect, and there were no surveillance cameras.

An excellent execution ground.

His gaze finally passed over Li Wei, whose bow was already fully drawn, and landed on the gaunt-faced, sinister-looking middle-aged man.

"Ghost Pen, Wei San?"

Wei San's eyebrows twitched violently.

How did this kid get in?

next second.

Chen Yifan moved.

His figure faded away in place.

It transformed into a blur that was invisible to the naked eye.

The target was not Li Wei at all.

It was Wei San!

"court death!"

Li Wei roared, and an ice arrow formed from psionic energy shot out of the bowstring, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound!

The arrow pierced through the air.

Li Wei only felt a blur before his eyes, and Chen Yifan was already in front of Wei San.

Wei San's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.

late.

A hand, faster than his reflexes, precisely gripped his neck.

An irresistible force came and lifted him off the ground.

"you……"

Li Wei was both shocked and furious. He simply couldn't understand how Chen Yifan's speed and strength could be so great!

Chen Yifan lifted Wei Sanju, whose face had turned purple, into the air with one hand, finally revealing his face, which had been covered by a mask.

He looked at Li Wei, who was filled with shock and anger, and smiled.

A pure smile devoid of any warmth.

"Didn't you want to ruin my family and make me wish I were dead?"

His voice was very soft, like a shard of ice scraping against Li Wei's eardrum.

"Now, I'm giving you a chance."

"Repeat every word you just said, every plan you just outlined."

"otherwise……"

Chen Yifan's gaze slowly shifted back to Wei San, who was already rolling his eyes in his hand.

The five fingers tightened inch by inch.

click!

A crisp, chilling crack of bone breaking echoed through the deathly silent room.

"I'm doing this right in front of you."

"Crush him, inch by inch."

"And then! I'll crush you to death!"
