"System, can you analyze the information on this?" he silently thought.
【Detected incomplete information, inferred complete content as: "Western Region Demon Monk Moro attempted assassination of General", credibility 72%】
Lin Xiaofan clenched his fists tightly, the paper crinkling in his palm. "It really isn't just a simple death in battle..."
Outside the window, hurried footsteps approached, and he quickly shoved the military report under the bed. Before he could stand up, the door was roughly pushed open.
"Young Master, the Liu Family carriage has arrived at the gate," a timid maid stood at the door, trembling. "Do... do you want to change your clothes?"
Lin Xiaofan glanced down at his wrinkled coarse cloth attire and smirked coldly. "No need, I'll go like this."
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, frequented by high-ranking officials and nobles. Today, the second floor's private room was particularly lively; it was rumored that Miss Liu was going to break off her engagement with the general's illegitimate son, drawing many curious onlookers.
As Lin Xiaofan stepped into the restaurant, he immediately heard snickers around him.
"Look, that's the Lin family's waste..."
"I heard that after his father died, even the servants in the house dared to bully him..."
"Miss Liu must have bad luck for eight generations..."
Lin Xiaofan remained unfazed and walked straight towards the private room. Pushing open the door, he saw Liu Rushuang seated at the main position, her white dress accentuating her fair skin. However, the disdain and calculation hidden in her eyes instantly alerted Lin Xiaofan.
"Lin Gongzi has arrived." Liu Rushuang spoke softly, her voice gentle as water but laced with a chilling undertone. "Please take a seat."
Lin Xiaofan casually sat down opposite her, scanning the room—several elegantly dressed young men sat nearby, all wearing expressions of amusement. A few servants from Liu Residence stood at the door, their waists bulging suspiciously, clearly hiding weapons.
"Miss Liu, you summoned me today; I assume it’s not just for old times' sake?" Lin Xiaofan got straight to the point.
Liu Rushuang smiled slightly and took out a letter from her sleeve, gently pushing it towards Lin Xiaofan. "This is the letter of annulment; please take a look."
The crowd erupted into murmurs; some couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Xiaofan did not immediately reach for it but instead stared into Liu Rushuang's eyes. "Miss Liu, what do you mean by this?"
"Lin Gongzi should be self-aware," Liu Rushuang continued to smile, though her voice turned colder. "The general's residence... is no longer worthy of our Liu Family."
The private room fell silent instantly as everyone held their breath, waiting to see how Lin Xiaofan would react.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofan burst into loud laughter, his laughter tinged with madness. He slammed his hand on the table, causing teacups to rattle.
"Annulment? As soon as my father 'died in battle,' you can't wait to push me away?"
【Ding! Extreme anger detected; triggering SS-level achievement 【Painful Strike Against the White Eyed Wolf】!】
The system's notification echoed explosively in Lin Xiaofan's mind, and at the same time, an unprecedented surge of power flooded into his body. He suddenly stood up, gripping the edge of the table with both hands—
"Boom!"
The entire mahogany round table was flipped over by him, and cups and plates shattered into pieces. In the moment the table toppled, Lin Xiaofan keenly noticed a corner of an envelope slip from Liu Rushuang's sleeve, only to be hastily shoved back by her.
"You!" Liu Rushuang's expression changed drastically, and the facade of gentle warmth she had worn finally shattered.
"What about me?" Lin Xiaofan sneered. "Miss Liu, are you so eager to distance yourself that you're afraid others might find out you've already found a new partner?"
