Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 857: Betrayal

"Do you think the way I just handled things was right?"

As they sat down in the restaurant, Lin Fan suddenly asked Wei Yue'er.

Wei Yue'er nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with what you did, but that man might not listen to you. He might still beat that woman to death."

Lin Fan said, "Then there's no other way. The one I want to save isn't that woman; whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. If she dies, I even think she deserves it. I'm saving the man, and I've given him advice, but what choice he makes is something he needs to consider himself."

Deserving to die!

It was the first time Wei Yue'er heard Lin Fan say something so extreme.

Wei Yue'er sighed and said, "A man being betrayed by his wife must be very angry, right? He seemed crazy just now."

Lin Fan said, "It's the same for every man in the world; no man can endure being betrayed by his wife. Just thinking about it makes you want to explode, let alone it actually happening."

Lin Fan chuckled, "Personally, I find it very hard to forgive anyone's betrayal."

Wei Yue'er recalled Lin Fan's words earlier, where he described the woman as a piece of shit. In Lin Fan's eyes, this woman who betrayed her husband was not worth saving, so for the first time, Lin Fan, who usually likes to support the weak, did not rescue the beaten weakling but chose to save the abuser—he shouldn't have his life ruined by a piece of shit.

Who seemed like the abuser was actually the one who should be saved; things in the world are often not as simple as they look.

Suddenly, Wei Yue'er thought about herself. On the surface, she was Lin Fan's assistant, but in reality, she was the sister of Wei Tiansheng, the richest man in Jiangnan. With her background, she didn't need to become Lin Fan's assistant. She deceived Lin Fan to get closer to him.

Does this count as a kind of betrayal?

If one day Lin Fan comes into conflict with the Wei Family, should she help her brother or Lin Fan?

Helping Lin Fan means betraying her brother; helping her brother means betraying Lin Fan.

She suddenly realized this was an unsolvable dilemma, and she felt a wave of panic, her beautiful face turning a bit pale.

"Are you okay?" Lin Fan, noticing her anomaly, asked with concern.

Wei Yue'er forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a bit unwell. I don't want to eat, could you take me home?"

Lin Fan slightly frowned; with his top-notch insight and medical skill, he saw that Wei Yue'er didn't seem physically unwell. If anything, it's her feelings that are troubled.

Though he didn't know why Wei Yue'er suddenly felt uneasy, Lin Fan didn't ask more questions and said, "Okay, let's go."

They left the restaurant.

At the street corner, they saw police cars and ambulances had arrived. Emergency personnel were carrying the woman beaten to a pulp onto an ambulance; she still seemed alive.

The man was handcuffed by the police, ready to be taken back to the station.

Before getting on the police car, the man noticed Lin Fan and said to the officer, "Officer, may I have a word with this guy?"

The officer was perplexed, "What for?"

The man said, "If it weren't for him tonight, I would have already beaten my wife to death."

The officer was stunned but eventually permitted the man to approach Lin Fan.

"Brother, I want to say thank you. You were right; my life shouldn't be ruined by a piece of shit. I listened to your advice and didn't beat her to death, so I'll definitely do time, but not for life or face the death penalty. I will eventually get out, divorce that wretch, and start my new life." The man said gratefully, with a tone that carried hope for a new life.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "It's good that you think this way."

Looking sad, the man asked, "But brother, I'm still resentful and heartbroken. How do I move past this shadow?"

Lin Fan said, "Live your new life well, and leave the rest to time."

Hatred is often hard to dissolve even when deep vengeance is achieved, as inner pain continues to linger. Time is the best remedy, though it is the most helpless choice, it is also the most reliable.

The man was taken away, his head down, lost in thought...

Many years later, when he recalls this night, and Lin Fan, his heart is filled with gratitude.

Lin Fan subsequently drove Wei Yue'er home.

Wei Yue'er, troubled by hiding her identity from Lin Fan, felt uneasy. On the way home, she had multiple urges to confess to Lin Fan but held back, thinking she might never get to work alongside Lin Fan again.

Because she liked her current state so much, she enjoyed being by Lin Fan's side too much.

Lin Fan never asked what was on Wei Yue'er's mind; he simply dropped her at her place and drove off.

On his way back to the apartment, Lin Fan's phone suddenly dinged with an unfamiliar message.

"Mr. Lin Fan, tomorrow at 7 a.m., Galaxy Park, await your battle! Sun Jianjun cordially."

Lin Fan muttered, Sun Jianjun?

Though it was his first time hearing this name, from the classical phrasing, it wasn't hard to relate it to that man in Tang attire.

This guy got out from prison that quickly.

Lin Fan didn't reply to the message and casually tossed the phone aside, driving home.

Li Haoming's villa.

The man in Tang attire sat poised on the sofa and asked, "Did the challenge letter get sent?"

Li Haoming said, "Yes, sent out exactly as the senior brother instructed. Hehe, tomorrow the brother can have a good go at Lin Fan. It's a pity I can't be there to watch."

The Tang attire man calmly replied, "My fight with Lin Fan is purely a martial arts exchange, not to avenge your personal grudges."

Li Haoming laughed, "I know, but the thought of you giving Lin Fan a beating excites me."

After a moment, the man in Tang attire asked, "Did Lin Fan reply?"

Li Haoming checked his phone and said, "No reply, this guy might be scared, afraid to respond; will he even show up tomorrow?"

Early the next morning at Galaxy Park.

This park is not far from Li Haoming's villa, so the man in Tang attire chose it for his battle with Lin Fan.

In the early morning, the park was full of elderly grandpas and aunties exercising, some even strolling with their grandkids. You seldom saw any young people; nowadays, young people rarely come out at this time unless for work or school, opting instead for sleeping in.

Under a big tree, the man in Tang attire sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, quietly waiting for Lin Fan.

Despite no reply from Lin Fan last night, he was confident Lin Fan would show up.

"Grandpa, what's this uncle doing?"

Suddenly, a chubby, candy-holder, seemingly three-year-old, adorably cute little girl pointed at the man in Tang attire, asking her grandfather beside her.

The man in Tang attire broke his meditation, his sharp gaze landing on the grandfather and granddaughter.

The old grandpa was startled, hurriedly picking up his granddaughter, saying, "The uncle is practicing; let's go."
