"Wu Ye, what are you doing?"
Several subordinates saw Wu Ye kneeling on the ground; their brains short-circuited for a moment, unable to comprehend what was happening.
After all, in their hearts, Wu Ye was the strongest existence!
Let alone people from Hua City, even in the entire Jiangnan region, there were few who could afford to provoke Wu Ye.
As for Chen Fan 'fabricating' something about Wu Ye being beaten in prison, they all considered it nonsense.
But who would have expected Wu Ye to have such a strong reaction?
"Shut up, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, all of you kneel down for me! Otherwise, I'll send you to your deaths right now!" Wu Ye roared.
He didn't have Time to explain to these subordinates, because Wu Ye was too clear about the consequences if Chen Fan got angry!
No one could bear it.
The subordinates didn't understand why, but they didn't dare disobey Wu Ye's order and could only obediently kneel.
Wang Mang had a stunned expression, looking at Wu Ye kneeling on the ground in disbelief, completely petrified on the spot, at a loss for what to do.
Suddenly, Wang Mang felt a sharp pain in his legs; the backs of his knees were severely struck, and he involuntarily knelt down.
"Are you an idiot? You had to make the Young Lord angry and take your dog life to be happy?" Wu Ye kicked Wang Mang and said coldly.
Only then did Wang Mang come back to his senses, frantically kowtowing to Chen Fan and begging for mercy: "Young Lord, please calm your anger, Young Lord, please calm your anger..."
He didn't know what this title meant, but in short, this was an existence that even Wu Ye had to kneel and worship. For a small Poisonous Snake Gang to provoke Chen Fan, this was truly courting death.
"Wu Shichang, you must be very unhappy to see me, right? But don't blame me; it's your body-hardening technique that was so resistant to beating. At that time, I wanted to improve my strength quickly, so I could only practice on you," Chen Fan said.
"This humble one has no complaints. It is my honor to be a stepping stone for the Young Lord. If there is anything you need me for in the future, the Young Lord can just give the order," Wu Ye knelt on the ground, not daring to even raise his head, carefully expressing his loyalty.
After enduring countless brutal beatings, he still had to express gratitude!
Wang Mang's scalp tingled upon hearing this; a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his head. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the esteemed Wu Ye could be so humble!
He couldn't imagine what kind of background and strength Chen Fan possessed to scare Wu Ye to this extent.
"The Poisonous Snake Gang has been using my family to threaten me. How do you think this matter should be handled?" Chen Fan asked.
"They deserve to die!" Wu Ye answered without hesitation.
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Mang was instantly scared pale, and his crotch became soaked.
"Wu Ye, please don't kill me. I beg you, give me a chance," Wang Mang knelt and moved towards Wu Ye.
*Slap!*
Wu Ye slapped Wang Mang across the face: "What's the use of begging me? If the Young Lord wants you dead, no one in this world can save you! Understand?"
Wang Mang wasn't stupid; he immediately understood the other party's meaning and quickly crawled to Chen Fan.
"Young Lord, please spare my life. It was I who was blind and failed to recognize a great person. I truly dare not do it again. From now on, our Poisonous Snake Gang will definitely hold you in the highest regard. If you point east, we would never dare go west."
Wang Mang was crying profusely, completely lacking his usual demeanor as a underworld boss.
Seeing that Chen Fan hadn't made a move, Wu Ye cautiously pleaded for Wang Mang: "Young Lord, he definitely won't dare to do it again in the future. Please give him a chance, perhaps even keeping him as a dog to serve you?"
"I am willing to be a dog for the Young Lord." Wang Mang immediately expressed his loyalty to save his life.
"You're willing to be a dog? Then I'll give you a chance. From now on, if my family suffers even the slightest harm, you will be held accountable!"
Of course, dogs are kept to guard the house!
It just so happened that Chen Fan needed to find some people to protect his parents and Chen Yi, to prevent anyone from using them to threaten him again. This way, it would be more convenient for him to handle matters outside.
"Thank you, Young Lord, for sparing my life. This humble one will definitely secretly protect your family," Wang Mang, who had just gotten his life back, immediately promised solemnly.
Seeing this, Wu Ye also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered someone to bring the best tea and pastries to entertain Chen Fan.
"Young Lord, I didn't expect you to be from Hua City. If you need anything done in the future, just contact me directly," Wu Ye said with a fawning expression.
"There is indeed something. The villas in Yunding Mountain Villa are good. Go buy me one; I want one near that artificial lake," Chen Fan said without politeness.
"That's simple. In two days at most, the keys will definitely be in your hands," Wu Ye guaranteed.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving now as I have something to do," Chen Fan stood up and left.
Wu Ye, along with Wang Mang and others, respectfully escorted Chen Fan to the door and watched his retreating figure until it disappeared. They all let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"Wu Ye, thank you for saving my life today," Wang Mang said gratefully.
"I took the risk to help you because of my acquaintance with your father back then. But if the Young Lord had insisted on killing you to vent his anger just now, I would have been helpless," Wu Ye said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang couldn't help but feel a lingering fear and couldn't resist asking: "Wu Ye, just how strong is the Young Lord? You're so afraid of him."
"Let me put it this way, in Nine Serenity Prison, I was considered the weakest, while the Young Lord was an invincible existence!"
"What!?"
...
Around noon, Chen Fan arrived at Fengxian Residence on Time, as agreed.
As one of the best restaurants in Hua City, Fengxian Residence is located in the busiest section of the city center.
However, there were few people who could afford to eat at Fengxian Residence. A meal would cost at least several thousand to tens of thousands, and could go up to six figures, or even exceed seven figures!
Such prices were clearly not affordable for the average working class.
Chen Fan had eaten at Fengxian Residence once before, when a rich second-generation university classmate came to Hua City and treated him.
This Time, Chen Fan knew that Luo Qianning had a strong background, so he naturally felt embarrassed to choose an ordinary restaurant. Moreover, he wasn't worried about money at all now.
If he wanted to make money, Chen Fan could casually refine a few pills now, and they would immediately sell for sky-high prices!
Chen Fan felt that choosing this place was fitting for Luo Qianning's status.
To his surprise, when he stood at the entrance of Fengxian Residence waiting for Luo Qianning, he actually saw her walking out of a snack shop across the street, holding a box of unfinished stinky tofu in her hand.
"You... you still eat this kind of thing?" Chen Fan said with a surprised look.
"This is delicious, what's so strange? You're not complaining that I ate something else beforehand when you're treating, are you?" Luo Qianning retorted.
"Of course not, I just didn't expect a Miss like you to be so down-to-earth."
At this moment, Chen Fan's impression of Luo Qianning changed greatly. He had thought she was just a spoiled and pampered Miss, and that being affected, pretentious, and putting on airs were inevitable.
Therefore, Chen Fan just wanted to use this meal to thank her, and even if they became friends, it would be nothing more than an acquaintance.
But now, through this detail, he discovered that Luo Qianning was much easier to get along with than he had imagined.
This made him curious about what kind of girl Luo Qianning truly was.
