Chapter 147 The Gao Family of Shancheng
Lin Fan was puzzled. He had not given Ren Siyao his number, so how could they be communicating by phone?
Furthermore, the information he learned from his conversation with Ren Siyao was beyond the comprehension of most people.
News from the sect, the government, and a renewed understanding of one's own position.
Lin Fan sensed from her words that this young girl, not yet 20 years old, must have some close connection with the Shancheng Group.
If it is discovered that Ren Siyao is the same person as Ou Wenxuan, Lin Fan will eliminate her without hesitation.
After dialing the number, Lin Fan said, "Help me find someone named Ren Siyao."
"She's under 20 years old and has short hair."
On the other end of the phone, Gao Xuan froze, remaining silent for a few seconds.
Lin Fan was a little puzzled. This was not Gao Xuan's usual style. Could it be that Ren Siyao was a formidable character?
"What's wrong, Gao Xuan? Is it something serious?" Lin Fan asked.
Gao Xuan snapped out of his daze, his voice a little embarrassed: "That, that's my daughter. Did she get into any trouble?"
Lin Fan was shocked: "Ren Siyao is your daughter?"
Gao Xuan said awkwardly, "She takes her mother's surname."
Immediately, Gao Xuan's tone became firm again: "President Lin, rest assured, if she causes trouble, we will deal with it without hesitation! My daughter's crime will be punished even more severely!"
Lin Fan rubbed his face. No wonder Ren Siyao is so amazing. She can arrange work, join a sect, and is too lazy to work for Shancheng Group.
It turns out she is Gao Xuan's daughter.
That makes sense now, except the little girl is a bit mischievous.
"It's nothing. She's fine." Lin Fan was a little embarrassed, then changed the subject after a moment's thought:
"Has she run into some trouble lately? She was kidnapped a few days ago, but it's been resolved."
"Kidnapping?" Gao Xuan was shocked: "Siyao has been very independent since she was a child, and she even joined the Huayun Sect to become a martial artist. Could she be an enemy of the sect?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that your daughter was kidnapped by enemies of the Shancheng Group?"
"Many people hate the Shancheng Group, but I have kept the fact that I have a daughter a secret."
Gao Xuan said with certainty, "It must be an enemy of the sect!"
Lin Fan sighed; this was also a major reason why he kept his identity a secret.
A son-in-law who had married into a family suddenly became the president of the Shancheng Group, and people are worried that some vicious people might harm his family.
"Let's investigate this matter," Lin Fan said helplessly. "Don't you and your daughter usually communicate?"
Gao Xuan sighed repeatedly, "She doesn't like to talk to me, especially after her mother passed away, she ignored me even more."
"Talk to her more," Lin Fan said, not wanting to say anything more.
The two chatted for a few more minutes about the Blood Thunder Curse, but the investigation was still at a loss. They then hung up the phone.
Lin Fan sighed that every family has its own troubles, and at the same time decided to help Gao Xuan secretly protect Ren Siyao until the matter was investigated thoroughly.
Of course, Lin Fan did not mention protecting Ren Siyao to Gao Xuan, as he did not want to put psychological pressure on Gao Xuan.
Lin Fan picked up Su Ruowei from get off work and then picked up Xiao Xinran from school on the way.
On the way home, Lin Fan told Su Ruowei about visiting Zhou Xiaojing at the hospital and reading at the coffee shop, but did not mention Ren Siyao.
The process of getting to know Ren Siyao was too bizarre, and Ren Siyao's identity was even more difficult to discuss in detail, so I'll just leave it at that.
Su Ruowei complained to Lin Fan that the company was difficult to manage, and that a group of collateral relatives of the Su family had not yet fully obeyed her, especially that Su Caijun.
However, Lin Fan's resignation did indeed give those collateral branches a considerable shock.
Meanwhile, Ren Siyao returned home, where she and Gao Xuan lived in an upscale residential community.
Gao Xuan doesn't live in the Lingjueding Villa. In fact, he did live there for a while before, but every time he went there, the residents of Lingjueding would find ways to give him gifts.
So they eventually moved out.
The residents of this upscale residential community are all working professionals who are so busy every day that they have no idea that the general manager of Shancheng Group lives here.
When Gao Xuan saw Ren Siyao return home, he wanted to ask her what had happened, but he couldn't reveal Lin Fan's identity.
So he subtly inquired, "Siyao, how's the Huayun Sect doing lately?"
Ren Siyao changed into slippers at the door: "It's fine."
She suddenly asked, "By the way, Dad, why isn't your company's new boss showing up? Shouldn't he meet with our sect leader?"
Gao Xuan was stumped by his daughter's question and felt a little embarrassed: "The new boss is too busy, and he doesn't really like to get involved in martial arts."
Gao Xuan thought to himself that Lin Fan had only asked about martial arts practitioners once, and hadn't asked any further questions afterward, so he probably wasn't interested in martial arts.
"Is he just busy with lottery draws and developing that rotten piece of land in the southern business district?" Ren Siyao said angrily.
How could you say that about President Lin!
"What's wrong with me! Is there a single good person in the Lin family of Shancheng?" Ren Siyao's tear ducts suddenly burst open: "This new boss is quite clever; he even knows how to hide his identity!"
"Afraid of revenge? You think a few lives aren't enough?"
Gao Xuan quickly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense!"
“How could I be talking nonsense! Don’t you know how my mother died?” Ren Siyao said, choking back tears.
“That was an accident!” Gao Xuan’s gaze lowered slightly: “So, to protect you, we also concealed your identity, didn’t we?”
"Why should my mother have to die in place of that old bastard Lin Tiancheng?!"
Why should I have to keep hiding my identity forever?!
"My dad is Gao Xuan, who is second only to the city government in Shancheng! But my former classmates don't know who my dad is. They all think I'm an orphan!"
"What's the difference between me and an orphan! From childhood to adulthood, have you ever attended a single parent-teacher conference?!"
After Ren Siyao finished speaking, she squatted down and began to sob.
"You should leave the sect, live an ordinary life, and find an ordinary job," Gao Xuan suddenly said.
Gao Xuan hoped Ren Siyao would be safe and didn't want her to get involved in the sect's conflicts.
However, Gao Xuan, as a father, is not good at expressing his emotions.
"Why should I leave the sect! Just because I'm your daughter, does that mean I have to give up my own affairs?!" Ren Siyao suddenly stood up, ran all the way to her bedroom, and locked herself in.
The loud slam of the door closing startled Gao Xuan.
He recalled that rainy night 15 years ago, when he and his wife were both Lin Tiancheng's right-hand men.
Inside Nanfeng Pavilion, a banquet had just ended, and Gao Xuan and his wife, accompanied by several bodyguards, escorted Lin Tiancheng down the corridor.
Who could have predicted that there would be such a vicious person who wanted to assassinate the president of the Shancheng Group?
Just as the assassin disguised as a greeter raised his dagger to stab Lin Tiancheng, Gao Xuan's wife blocked it with her body.
The assassin met a tragic end, but Gao Xuan's wife also lost her life.
Ren Siyao wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps, knowing that both her parents were martial arts practitioners.
The Gao family achieved its current status through martial arts training. In a mysterious way, the Gao family's martial arts training was to protect the Lin family, and this has been the case for generations.
Fate seemed to be about to be broken in Gao Xuan's generation, as Gao Xuan only had one daughter, Ren Siyao.
The surname Ren represents Gao Xuan's expectation that Ren Siyao can live as an ordinary person.
