The Legendary F Rank

Chapter 222: Imperial Families.

"Lan Yan's boyfriend?" The receptionist said out loud after Haru to make sure that is what he had heard. He couldn't believe it himself, He was sure that Mr Lan would never let anyone date his daughters yet a man claiming to be his daughter's boyfriend wanted to meet with him.

'Is he going to ask for Mr Lan's blessing so he can marry the young miss?' The receptionist thought to himself and then concluded that he had to call Mr Lan as soon as possible.

Without saying another word, the receptionist pulled out a phone from the drawer beneath his desk and raised it to his ear after calling someone on the contact list.

"Who is it?" Mr Lan shouted as he was interrupted while he was eating. He wanted to know he dared to ruin his meal so that he could ruin their whole life. 

"Um Sorry for interrupting you, Mr Lan. But there is a young man here who claims to be Miss Lan Yan's boyfriend. He said he is here to talk to you about something." The receptionist hesitated while he spoke.

There was a deep inhale from the other side of the phone as Mr Lan sat back in his chair with his face starting to heat up. 

"Ah I see. My darling daughter's boyfriend is here" Mr Lan gritted his teeth and tried to remain as professional as he could while he was talking to his receptionist but the frustration in his voice was impossible to hide.

"It seems so Should I tell him to leave?" The receptionist asked and then looked back up at Haru who was scratching the back of his head once again. He didn't know what else to do since he was now the centre of attention for everyone in the room. 

It seemed like all of them were really familiar with the way that Mr Lan would act and didn't understand where Haru had gained the confidence to confront him while claiming to be dating his daughter. To them, it seemed like he was asking for death. 

"Tell my daughter's beloved boyfriend to leave? No, I couldn't possibly allow that to happen. Why don't you have the security guards block the exits and make sure that no one leaves

I wouldn't want there to be a scandalous article written about my daughter because someone leaked this information I will be down in just a moment." Mr Lan said with his anger only getting stronger. 

"I understand sir. I will do it right away." The receptionist said and then put the phone down before showing a hand signal to the security guards that were standing by all three of the exits.

The security guards nodded their heads in unison and then began to latch the doors closed before blocking them with their bodies. 

"Mr Lan said he will come down shortly. You won't have to wait too long." The receptionist said with pity in his voice. He knew that something bad was going to happen when Mr Lan arrived. 

"Come down? You mean he is upstairs? I thought you said that he wasn't here a moment ago Strange." Haru spoke while rubbing his chin. 

"Oh, about That. It is for security purposes. Mr Lan doesn't like people knowing where he is so we say that to everyone so don't take it too personally." The receptionist tried his best to force a smile but the look of worry on his face got in the way a little too much.

"Is that so? Well, that makes sense I guess." Haru responded and then spotted a bowl of candy sitting on top of the desk. 

"Are they gumdrop bears?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, they are for-" Before the receptionist could say anything Haru picked up the bowl of candy and began to reach into it. 

"Do you mind if I have a couple?" He asked with a smile on his face while casually leaning against the desk. 

The other people in the room watched on, not knowing what to do. They felt bad that such a handsome man would be murdered in broad daylight in less than a few minutes. But found it odd that he could act so laid back in this situation. 

'Is he an idiot? How can he not read the situation? I thought I made it pretty obvious that he was trapped in here with us. How can he just sit by and wait?' The receptionist began to question Haru's motive but as he looked up again he noticed a look in Haru's eyes that seemed like he was starting to become impatient.

"Sure go ahead." The receptionist replied with a sigh as Haru began to eat the candy one by one as he waited for Mr Lan to appear. 

A few minutes went by before the door the elevator opened up and footsteps quickly clacked against the floor. 

"Where is he!? Where is my daughter's so-called boyfriend!?" Mr Lan shouted as he walked out into the lobby. Suddenly everyone had begun to point at Haru as he still leaned against the desk while eating the candy. 

"Oi brat! Are you the one with balls bigger than your brains?" Mr Lan asked before racking a shotgun and then raising it to his shoulder and pointing it towards Haru's back. 

"Hey, what's up, old man," Haru said with a chuckle before turning around to see Mr Lan holding the shotgun in his direction. 

"This candy is pretty good. You want some?" Haru asked and then began to walk toward him. 

Mr Lan froze up as he saw Haru and began to remember the last time they had met. It was almost uncanny how similar the circumstances were.

When they had met the first time, Haru had offered him whiskey while at gunpoint. And this time he was offering him candy while at gunpoint. 

Mr Lan looked at the smirk on Haru's face that told him if he didn't lower his weapon everyone in the room would have to pay the price for his mistake. 

Upon seeing the smile Mr Lan immediately dropped the gun to the ground without even a second thought. 

"Oh, It's Haru, I didn't expect you to come here today. I thought that someone was trying to impersonate you so I rushed down to clear things up. I hope you don't mind the misunderstanding" Mr Lan was quick to explain himself.

'What is this? Why were the roles reversed so quickly? Who is this man? And how did he make Mr Lan go on the defensive after just one glance?' The receptionist thought to himself as he watched on as Mr Lan began to step backwards as Haru approached him. 

"So that's how it is? I thought you might have been angry that I had come to see you." Haru asked while still shovelling candy into his mouth. 

"I would never do such a thing like that. I know you are a fine young man and my daughter would be lucky to have you as a boyfriend Haha" Mr Lan said awkwardly as Haru continued to approach him while holding out the bowl of candy. 

"You think so? That's nice of you to say. But there is really something that I need to talk to you about. Do you mind if we go to your office and discuss things in private?" Haru asked as they both had already begun to walk in the direction of the elevator that Mr Lan had come from. 

"Certainly. I'm sure that you wouldn't want anyone to overhear what you have to say. Let's head there right away." Mr Lan replied. They then both entered the elevator. 

"Hey, Do you think that Mr Lan was acting a bit strange there? You don't think that he is from one of the imperial families and is trying to force Young Miss Lan Yan to marry him do you?" One of the guards ran over to the desk as soon as the doors to the elevator had closed and asked the receptionist. 

"I thought it was weird too. Just what is his background to be able to force Mr Lan to retreat like that? Do you think I should let Young Miss Lan Yan Know what's going on?" The receptionist agreed with what the guard had said and then asked for his opinion. 

"I know first hand that that girl has her father's temper. If you don't tell her then you will probably end up in an unmarked grave. But that's up to you. This is none of my business." The guard said and then walked back to his position at the door. 

'He's right. That little girl is vicious. I should probably tell her if I want to keep my head.' The receptionist thought and then called another number on the phone. 

"Sorry for interrupting you Miss Lan Yan. But your father is currently meeting with someone who claimed to be your boyfriend. I think I heard Mr Lan call him Haru" The receptionist said as the call connected. 

"Haru Haru is meeting with dad!? Quickly send a car to pick me up. I will be there shortly. Make sure that he doesn't leave before I get there." Lan Yan instructed the receptionist. 

"Hey, Don't you think that that man looked like the guy who had the red carpet rolled out for him at the royal imperial hotel?" One of the people in the lobby began to discuss what had just happened with each other. 

"The guy that gifted a woman a hundred thousand yuan just because she served him a drink? Was that really him? He was dressed too ordinary." It soon turned into a debate about Haru's identity and then followed by a small argument. 

All the while the receptionist had been searching for the news article that was written about that day and as he watched the video he realised that the man in the video was indeed the man he had just seen.
