"This... what is happening?"
Luo Fan couldn't believe what he was seeing. He thought he was hallucinating, so he tried again.
This time, he really could pass through walls.
In disbelief, Luo Fan thought he must still be dreaming, so he stuck his hand in his mouth and bit down hard.
"Ahhh...!"
"That hurts!"
Luo Fan cried out; the pain was so intense that it was clear he wasn't dreaming.
"Could this be what they call X-ray vision?"
At the thought, Luo Fan was filled with immense joy.
Could it be that he had gained X-ray vision?
To confirm his suspicion, Luo Fan continued experimenting.
Half an hour later, Luo Fan was finally certain: he had X-ray vision.
However, this vision wasn't something he could use all the time. After about ten minutes, his eyes would feel swollen, and he couldn't use it anymore.
Only the next day, when his eyes returned to normal, did the X-ray vision return.
In the following days, Luo Fan was both excited and uneasy.
Now that he had X-ray vision, he didn't know how to use it.
Should he buy a lottery ticket to win the jackpot?
Go to a casino and gamble?
Hunt for treasure?
Or use it to peek at beautiful women?
It seemed all of these options were possible.
This unexpected gift was a bit hard for him to accept.
With his mind in turmoil, Luo Fan decided to return home to calm down.
What he called "home" wasn't really his home, but a small place in an old neighborhood where he rented a room.
There, many people used the land they had to build a large number of rental units, which they offered to workers and office employees in the area. The landlady was a typical "rental lady."
Luo Fan rented a room about ten square meters in size. Though small, it wasn't cheap—it cost him 500 yuan a month.
As he was climbing the stairs, he was stopped by a fat woman.
"Auntie, you're not resting at this hour?" Luo Fan asked, somewhat respectfully.
"Resting? I'd like to rest, but you owe me two months' rent. When are you going to pay me?"
"I'm not doing well these days, Auntie. Could you give me a few more days?"
"Not doing well? That's none of my business. This isn't a charity. I'm giving you three more days; if you don't pay the rent by then, I'll throw all your stuff out, you hear me?" the woman said harshly.
Resigned, Luo Fan could only promise he'd pay.
Lying on his wooden bed, Luo Fan felt lost.
He'd spent all his money on medication and now didn't have enough to pay the rent.
It seemed his only option was to find Zhou, the one who had beaten him up. Somehow, he'd have to get him to pay for his medical expenses and emotional damage.
Bored, Luo Fan used his X-ray vision again. He remembered that a pretty girl lived on the third floor. She seemed attractive, and he didn't know if she was still there. Maybe he'd get lucky and see something of her.
Luo Fan opened his eyes and looked down cautiously, as if he were a thief.
However, that day was destined to disappoint him. He saw that the girl was in her room, but he didn't see her dressed as usual.
Just as Luo Fan was about to give up, something sparkled, like a golden ray of light, dazzling his eyes.
Curious, Luo Fan used his X-ray vision again to investigate.
Soon, he located the source of the glow: it was in a small courtyard below, buried one or two meters underground.
Gold bars!
They were gold bars!
Luo Fan was stunned—there were gold bars buried there.
Looking at the box full of bars, there were at least dozens of them.
Luo Fan couldn't help but feel excited; his mouth watered.
"I've struck it rich; I'm going to be rich!"
Staring at the gold bars in the ground, Luo Fan was utterly captivated.
His first thought was to dig them up.
Fortunately, he hadn't completely lost his head over the money.
The courtyard where the gold bars were buried was surrounded by many houses. If he started digging openly, even if he managed to retrieve them, someone else would probably take them.
"Calm down! I need to calm down," Luo Fan told himself. He only had one chance. If he missed it, he might never get his hands on those gold bars again.
With this thought, Luo Fan spent the entire night tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
Finally, at three or four in the morning, taking advantage of the silence, he snuck out with an iron rod and started digging.
An hour later, he had dug a one-meter-deep hole in the courtyard. This, of course, was Luo Fan's doing.
"Gold bars, I finally have them!"
Holding the small box in his hands, Luo Fan was completely ecstatic.
With this money, he wouldn't have to go hungry anymore.
Without thinking further, Luo Fan took the money and ran, leaving everything in his tiny rented room behind.
The next morning, the courtyard tenants opened their doors to find a strange sight: a large, one-meter-deep hole in the courtyard.
They didn't know if someone had done it for fun or if it was intentional.
The landlady, the fat woman, cursed non-stop when she saw the hole, swearing at whoever had dug it and ruined her property.
Meanwhile, Luo Fan, cursed by the fat auntie, had already fled dozens of kilometers away. With that money and his X-ray vision, he thought he could now live a much better life.
...
At that time, although Mo Bufan had been eliminated, Chen Haotian, the true protagonist, had disappeared completely. Li Yun didn't believe this man had fled far from Jinling, and if he wasn't mistaken, he was sure Chen was still hiding in some dark corner, preparing a surprise attack against him.
As for the new guy who had appeared, Luo Fan, he was also leaving no trace. Even though A Xiang was investigating, with so many men named Luo Fan, it wouldn't be easy to find him anytime soon.
With nothing else to do, Li Yun could only continue training his servant, Gu Yanran.
After so much time under his training, Gu Yanran had almost been completely molded by him.
That servant, who had been under his care for so long, it was about time to enjoy her.
"Sir, you're back!"
As soon as Gu Yanran heard the sound of Li Yun's car, she came out to greet him.
Now, she behaved like a wife waiting for her husband's return.
"Sir, what would you like for dinner tonight? I'll prepare it right away."
"There's no need to prepare anything. I won't be eating at home tonight."
Not eating at home?
Gu Yanran was a bit confused. Except for two occasions when he didn't return, Li Yun rarely skipped dinner at home.
Could it be that he had to go out again tonight?
