Chapter 1336 - 1335
The white man had no choice but to follow Lin Fan into the lounge. He didn’t want to go against Lin Fan; in any other place, he wouldn’t even give Lin Fan a second glance, given Lin Fan’s shabby appearance from economy class. But now, on this plane, he didn’t dare to provoke Lin Fan.They all witnessed how Lin Fan dealt with those two death warriors. On this airplane, Lin Fan had undoubtedly become the ruler.
"Sit." Lin Fan pointed to a chair in the lounge.
The white man walked over and glanced at the corner next to him, where three bodies were sitting, even though they were covered, it was still quite terrifying.
The white man trembled a bit and sat down with a stiff upper lip, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Your name is Simon?" Lin Fan asked.
The white man replied, "Simon Brown, our Brown Clan is one of the noble families in London. My family is wealthy and powerful in London. I’m only 22 this year and am the eldest son set to inherit our Brown Clan’s fortune. On this plane, anyone could be the perpetrator, but I’m definitely not. There’s no need for me to be!"
The man spoke quickly, and although his Huaxia language was not very fluent, he managed to make his point clear.
The United Kingdom is a very hierarchical country, where people place a high value on lineage, eager to claim noble blood. Nobles are seen as superior, with commoners looking up to them. It’s clear from his speech that this white man from the Brown Clan is very proud of his heritage.
Lin Fan’s current goal wasn’t to find out who killed the three bandits, as he had already identified the killer but wasn’t ready to alert them.
His goal right now was to find that "target person."
And that person could be anyone on the plane.
Lin Fan asked, "When did you arrive in Hong Kong?"
Simon replied, "Our Brown Company has a branch in Hong Kong. I came to the Hong Kong branch a year ago to assume the position of President."
Lin Fan asked, "Why are you going back to the United Kingdom this time?"
Simon said, "To attend a family gathering—it’s our Brown Clan’s annual family reunion. If you’d like, I can invite you. You are my savior, and you would receive the highest level of hospitality from our family."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Thanks, if necessary, I will visit. By the way, I watched the surveillance and noticed you seemed a bit anxious. What’s the reason?"
Simon said, "Is this why you called me in? I do have a troubling matter, it’s an emotional one. I’ve fallen for a girl and I plan to confess to her when I’m back. But I have a rival, he’s from another noble family and is also pursuing her. I’m worried about this matter. I’m thinking, if I were to die in a crash, I’d be handing her to that bastard on a platter!"
Lin Fan found it amusing that even a member of the English nobility was prone to compete over women.
Of course, noblemen are never short of women; they have abundant choices, and many women are willing to go to great lengths for them, unlike commoners who struggle to find even one partner.
The sorrows of humanity are disconnected; the same troubles can be worlds apart.
A poor man not only struggles to find a goddess but even ordinary women dismiss him. With no resources, finding a marriage partner requires countless introductions, and even then luck might only occasionally strike, leading to a lifetime as a bachelor, never once holding a woman’s hand.
Meanwhile, wealthy men may appear the same, unable to find a marital partner, but in reality, they never lack women. The goddesses seen by poor men as untouchable are merely playthings to them.
The difficulty wealthy men face in finding a marriage partner is not on the same plane as that of poor men. Wealthy men have higher requirements—they aren’t lacking admirers, quite the opposite. Many women throw themselves at them, but the wealthy man’s standards are high. Those who approach them are only for play; marriage requires a virtuous wife, one with traditional virtues, making the search exponentially harder.
Unlike the poor man who will settle for any female, anything is better than nothing.
This is the disparity in the world.
The woman being fought over by Simon and another nobleman is sought after as a marriage partner, likely not a common woman, probably of noble birth herself, or perhaps an exceptionally beautiful superstar.
Such women are precious resources, worthy of being pursued by noblemen.
Lin Fan asked a few questions and then sent Simon out, calling the next person in for questioning.
In this manner, Lin Fan quickly questioned several people.
Lin Fan mainly asked them about their reasons for going to the United Kingdom, trying to discern useful information from their answers.
From the current information, the target person most likely upset someone powerful, possibly unintentionally, prompting them to take lethal action against him.
But after questioning several people, Lin Fan didn’t make any discoveries for the time being.
Just then, the flight attendant Little Yi knocked on the door and entered, bringing Lin Fan a bottle of mineral water.
"Mr. Lin, are you thirsty? Here’s some water," Little Yi said with a smile, handing the water to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took it and smiled, "Thank you."
However, when Lin Fan took a glance at the mineral water in his hand, his smile froze, and he reached out to grab Little Yi.
Little Yi was taken aback, "Mr. Lin, you..."
Her face turned red instantly, not understanding why Lin Fan suddenly grabbed her hand. Was it that he had such an intention? Was Mr. Lin a domineering CEO who acted so straightforwardly?
Lin Fan, however, sternly asked, "Where did this water come from?"
Little Yi froze, not expecting Lin Fan to ask her such a question. What kind of question was this?
"The purser gave it to me, saying that you might get thirsty from questioning people, so she asked me to bring you water. Why?" Little Yi asked in confusion.
Lin Fan said, "Go bring the purser here. Don’t say anything else, just tell her I need her assistance. If she asks whether I’ve drunk the water, say yes, you saw me drink it yourself."
"Okay." Little Yi felt a bit puzzled but agreed and went to fetch the purser.
"Team leader, Mr. Lin asked for you," Little Yi said.
The purser asked, "What’s the matter?"
Little Yi replied, "Mr. Lin said he needs your help."
The purser nodded, "Let’s go. By the way, the water you gave Mr. Lin, did he drink it?"
Little Yi said, "Yes, he drank it. I saw him drink it myself."
Little Yi felt a bit strange, why would Mr. Lin predict in advance that the purser would ask if he drank the water? Does whether he drank the water matter?
But Lin Fan instructed her clearly, so she didn’t say more, following the purser to the lounge.
The purser entered the lounge and immediately saw the bottle of mineral water in Lin Fan’s hand. However, the bottle of water was intact, with the cap not even opened.
Didn’t Little Yi say that Lin Fan drank the water?
The purser realized something and her expression changed immediately.
