Chapter 562: Thunderous Counterattack

"Heh, you've got a big mouth." Lin Dongfan said into the phone receiver, indulging in a faint smile: "Liu Wen, you're overestimating yourself. What qualifications does someone who fled in panic and can't even pay rent have to threaten me?"

Liu Wen's parents beside them, although they couldn't hear what their daughter was saying on the phone, felt their hearts jump to their throats when they saw Lin Dongfan's smile tinged with anger.

Over the past few days, people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau have repeatedly sought them out for talks.

Only in the past few days did they learn that their daughter Wenwen was actually involved in the criminal case of "illegal organ transplantation."

These days, the couple worried so much they couldn't sleep.

Liu Fu last night still angrily complained to Liu Mu: "What bad thing did she learn? She learned from those corrupt officials who fled overseas! They have tens of millions, even hundreds of millions in overseas assets! She, a little nurse who doesn't even know how to transfer money, what does she have to compare with them? Clueless, it's all because you spoiled her!"

In this situation, Liu Fu dare not harbor any luck mentality.

Especially now, the Anti-Corruption Bureau has frozen all of her bank cards; she's penniless overseas, and if she doesn't return home to confess, she'll eventually die abroad.

Liu Fu angrily asked Director Lin: "Is she still clueless and unwilling to come back? Give me the phone so I can talk to her!"

His angry voice was so loud that Liu Wen on the other end of the phone could surely hear it.

Lin Dongfan made a shushing gesture to Liu Fu, signaling him to calm down, then spoke to Liu Wen on the phone: "Liu Wen, we've already locked onto your location; you can't escape. You went abroad on a tourist visa—even if we don't come after you, when your visa expires, the local authorities will deport you."

Liu Wen on the other end of the phone was clearly struck in her soft spot by Lin Dongfan's words.

Only a moment passed.

Her venomous voice rang out again, trying to regain the initiative: "Director Lin, you're threatening me here! I give you two hours to unfreeze my bank card—or else…"

"Or else what?"

"Before the New Year, you had your wife transfer 500,000 to me, trying to bribe me into giving false testimony for you! At that time I'll say my life is rough, and you won't have it easy either!"

The more Liu Wen spoke, the more smug she became, as if she had already grasped Lin Dongfan's weakness.

She chuckled lightly: "Be sensible, unfreeze my card right away! We'll stay out of each other's way—otherwise, I'll expose this, and we'll both suffer!"

What she didn't know was that this cornered‑rat mentality of hers had long been anticipated by Lin Dongfan.

Lin Dongfan couldn't help but feel tense.

Instead, he revealed a cat‑toying‑with‑a‑mouse grin: "How coincidental—I just love your defiant attitude, so hurry back and come bite me. Frankly, I'm worth over a hundred billion! As an anti‑corruption bureau chief, having over a hundred billion in net worth—doesn't that make you angry? Come back and bite me."

As soon as his words fell, whether in the living room or on the other end of the phone across the ocean,

everything fell into dead silence!

Liu Fu and Liu Mu stared at Director Lin in disbelief, thinking this bureau chief had no scruples, spouting all kinds of nonsense to trick Wenwen into returning home.

What they didn't know was that Fan Ye really does have over a hundred billion in wealth!

Peng Tianhua's eyes shone with boundless admiration, admiring Fan Ye's wealth‑making prowess! Even more, he admired Fan Ye's psychological tactics, which were clearly meant to stir Liu Wen's hatred.

Once a person's eyes are blinded by hatred, impulsive actions become inevitable.

From the phone came Liu Wen's roar: "You Lin, you dog official! Corrupt official! Don't get too smug! You really want to fight me to the death, right? Don't think I'm afraid of you! If I return home, I'll be the first to bite you to death."

Sure enough, the other side's mind had been stirred into chaos.

He kept spouting nonsensical rubbish over and over.

Lin Dongfan responded with a pleased little smile:

"Unfreezing your bank card is impossible.

"Now you have three options:

"One, starve to death in a foreign land.

"Two, learn the spirit of vagrants abroad, dig through trash cans for others' leftovers, hold out a few days, then wait for the local government to deport you.

"Three, wise people adapt to the times—be proactive, contact our embassy locally yourself, and have them send you back.

"I'll be waiting for you to come back and bite me to death."

Having said that, Lin Dongfan hung up the phone outright, giving Liu Wen no chance to retort—clearly, none of this had escaped his control.

The most heart‑wrenching part was Liu Fu and Liu Mu.

The two stared at each other, their sorrowful feelings plain on their faces.

Liu Mu anxiously pleaded with Director Lin: "Director Lin, we want to send our daughter some living expenses—this shouldn't be illegal, right? Please show mercy, don't push my daughter onto a dead‑end path, Wenwen…"

"Shut up!"

Liu Fu snapped angrily, cutting off Liu Mu's voice mid‑sentence.

"A kind mother raises a spoiled child!"

Lao Liu, upon recalling that old saying, felt a surge of anger.

He couldn't help but lash out:

"With just this one daughter, what have you turned her into?

"Only when she reaches out for money does she remember she has parents! Normally, who does she see? Only herself—selfish and self‑serving!

"Now she's even more lawless!

"She abandons a good nursing job to do illegal, disorderly things! She's dragged the family's reputation through the mud—I can't even face the neighbors in the community.

"If this continues, her life will be utterly ruined—should we still send her money?

"I think you're getting more foolish the longer you live!"

Liu Mu, scolded into speechlessness, hastily turned her head aside and quietly wiped her tears.

Sometimes she also couldn't understand:

"I've given her all my motherly love—why is she so clueless? She's over twenty, yet she still doesn't appreciate her parents' hardship, always just reaching out for money."

"Boo‑hoo‑hoo! All you know how to do is cry!"

Liu Fu, as usual, upon seeing Liu Mu's aggrieved, tear‑wiping expression, felt immensely irritable and gloomy, holding back a bellyful of unfinished scolding, yet unwilling to continue berating her.

Then he turned his gaze toward Lin Dongfan.

He sincerely told Director Lin: "Director Lin, I support you forcing her to return home! Rest assured, as long as I'm alive, I guarantee I won't give her a single cent! Facing trial back home, at worst she'd serve a few years in prison—still better than dying abroad."

"Thank you for your understanding and support."

Lin Dongfan calmly added: "However, given the work requirements, we still need to continue monitoring your family's phone. If it affects your normal life, we hope you can be more tolerant."

"Don't worry about this; we will cooperate wherever cooperation is needed." Liu Father, as the head of the family, is far more rational than Liu Mother on matters of principle.

As a father, he actually doesn't want to see his daughter return to the country and be imprisoned.

But he is fully aware in his heart:

His daughter is stranded abroad alone, holding only a tourist visa, unable to find work overseas to make a living, and with no money at all—how can she survive?

Returning to the country is her only chance to survive!
