237 You Can’t, But I Can (2/2)
It was also revealed that Fan Yuming was the one who urged Fan Luo to saddle Jin Chonglin with the responsibility of being a father when her daughter found out that she was pregnant. It was also Fan Yuming who arranged for the doctor to write off Fan Luo's abortion as miscarriage when Jin Chonglin insisted for a DNA test. It turned out that the doctor was one of Fan Yuming's lovers.
There were many other shocking revelations about Fan Yuming. When the people read about them, they were disgusted by her.
”Fan Yuming ran the Fan family like a brothel. She pimped out not only herself but also her own children, nieces and nephews! I've never been so disgusted by a person!”
”Every single member of the Fan family are crooks!”
Of course, the list of powerful people the Fans' slept with was also revealed to the public. It caused a domino effect of scandals to rock the entire nation. Many of these people were leaders in their fields. Many of them were fired or were forced to resign. Their spouses also filed for divorce.
It was utter chaos.
Hawk-eyed hackers recognized the destructive style as Drakon's work, even though the new hacker superstar didn't claim credit this time. Who else could cause so much chaos in a country in just a day?
Because of this scandal involving Fan Yuming and the younger generation of the Fan family, the authorities dismissed the possibility that Fan Luo escaped. If the Fans were really the ones who arranged Fan Luo's escape, why damage their reputation in the process? It was obvious that someone was trying to destroy the Fans to the point of no return.
The police began to treat this as kidnapping. Their conjecture was further strengthened when they discovered that the Alarm Girls also went missing. Similar to Fan Luo's case, the police officers guarding the girls were also knocked out.
The headlines went nuts with wild speculations.
”Fan Luo and Alarm Girls Kidnapped! Will They Still Be Found?”
”Who Kidnapped Fan Luo and the Alarm Girls? The Jins, the Longs, or the Many Newly-Turned Enemies of the Fans?”
”Expect to Find Four Dead Female Bodies Somewhere Soon.”
The authorities tried everything to find the women, sending their best detectives and hackers to track them, but it was as if they disappeared into thin air.
As a result, they decided to redirect their focus on Fan Yuming and the rest of the Fans instead, arresting them on prostitution grounds and other charges.

While the rest of the nation was in uproar, Iris was with Lu Zihao inside a room he aptly called the ”dungeon”.
It was originally a cellar as evidenced by the empty wine racks. Now, however, the room was equipped with various torture tools. In short, the cellar was converted into a torture chamber.
The unconscious Fan Luo, Wanwan, Feifei and Mimi were gagged and chained up. The Shadow Winds didn't hurt any of them. They were waiting for Iris' instruction.
Iris looked at them and then at the torture tools.
”I don't think I can do this,” she said, shivering.
At that moment, an already familiar flare up of bloodthirst overwhelmed her. She didn't resist and even willingly allowed the remnant to take over this time.
”You can't, but I can.”
Her expression turned vicious. There was cruel excitement in her eyes at what she was about to do to the four b*tches in front of her.
