“What have you done to my son?”
The previously immensely arrogant He Gang had instantly lost his nerve!
He Gang had only this one son, whom he had fathered in his later years, and treasured him even more than gold. If anything were to happen to him, the He Family would be left without an heir.
There was both anger and fear in He Gang’s eyes as he scolded Ye Fan in a lowered voice. If looks could kill, He Gang would have slain Ye Fan countless times!
“Heh, heh! Nothing much, just invited Young Master He for a tea, that’s all!” Ye Fan said with a nonchalant smile, then turned toward the video screen and said, “Huizi, let Young Master He make some noise!”
On the other side, holding He Qiang captive, was none other than Yamada Eiko, who had already been subdued by Ye Fan.

“Yes! Master!” Yamada Eiko responded. She grabbed the iron rod beside her and, without a second word, smashed it down onto He Qiang’s head.
“Ah…” He Qiang, who had already fainted, was abruptly brought back to consciousness by the blow, and upon seeing He Gang on the video, he instantly began to cry loudly and desperately, “Dad! Dad! Hurry…hurry and save me, please save me…”
“My son, my son… you’ve gone too far!” He Gang, watching his son’s pitiful state in the video, was hopping mad on the spot. He wanted to lash out at Ye Fan but didn’t have the courage to actually do it.
He Gang wanted to continue speaking with He Qiang, but Ye Fan abruptly ended the video call.
“You… Young Master Ye… I…” He Gang was so frustrated his teeth itched. In the current scenario, Ye Fan had his lifeline in his grasp, and though He Gang wanted to fight with Ye Fan, he didn’t dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
“Patriarch He! Don’t say I’m being too harsh. I’ve already seen the combat video of how my second brother died that Qin Zhan showed me… Hmph! When you made a move on my second brother, did you ever think your actions were too much?” Ye Fan snorted coldly, “You know what you need to do! My patience is limited. I’ll give you five seconds to think, or else consider the consequences.”
What Ye Fan wanted had actually been made very clear before.
The shares of the Ren Family that Ye Fan mentioned, He Gang was supposed to temporarily keep safe for Ye Fan.
Now if He Gang wished for his son to be spared, he would inevitably be forced to admit that what Ye Fan said was true! If he did not admit it, then He Qiang would most certainly meet his end immediately!
Despite feeling so aggrieved he could burst into flames, He Gang had no choice!
“Ye Fan, you’re ruthless!” He Gang glared at Ye Fan hatefully. He finally understood why those three families from Cloud City, as well as the Ma Family from Provincial City and the Qin Family, had all fallen into Ye Fan’s hands.
Ye Fan was no longer a simpleton, and his methods and thinking were not something normal people could contend with. Ye Fan had all his plans laid out well in advance, calculating every possibility, and those who opposed him would easily be controlled. There was no point in playing this game.
“Someone, bring Patriarch He a microphone; Patriarch He has something to say!” Seeing He Gang’s demeanor, Ye Fan smiled faintly, gestured to Ren Xueying not far away, and she immediately brought over a microphone, handing it to He Gang.
He Gang had been so full of himself, boasting non-stop just moments ago. But after Ye Fan approached and whispered a few words, He Gang became completely deflated, as if the air had been let out of him.
Such a transformation drew the eyes of everyone on the scene!
Everyone was curious about what had happened!
“Ladies and gentlemen, I was foolish just now! After being reminded by Young Master Ye, I remembered that I indeed agreed with Young Master Ye before, that the shares of the Ren Family were to be kept temporarily by me on behalf of Young Master Ye, and now they should be returned to Young Master Ye!”
He Gang, holding the microphone and extremely reluctant, said these words.
He felt so ashamed with each word he uttered that he wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
Just a second ago, He Gang had been saying that he must have had his head caught in a door, questioning how he could possibly hand over the hard-won shares to Ye Fan. But in the next second, there he was, publicly slapping his own face in front of so many guests, affirming that what Ye Fan said was absolutely correct, and that the shares should be returned to Ye Fan.
This damned situation!
How was he supposed to face anyone in Flower Capital ever again?
Ah?
Whoooosh!
He Gang’s words were heard clearly by everyone on the scene, immediately causing a stir, and everyone turned to look at Ye Fan and He Gang with shocked faces!
“What’s going on here? What exactly did the idiotic Young Master Ye say to He Gang?”
“Yeah! Isn’t this too awesome? Those shares are worth at least tens of billions; it must have cost He Gang a great effort to get them. And now he just gave them away to that idiot from the Ye Family?”
“Watch your mouth! Do you still think Young Master Ye is that idiot? Could an idiot have such brilliant tactics?”
“I’m starting to understand why all seven of Ye Fan’s sisters-in-law agreed to marry him. Ye Fan, the monstrous genius, was foolish for five years, but now that he’s awakened, he’s still exceptional!”
On the stage, Ren Zhenghua, Ren Zhengchao, and Ren Botao, as well as the other Ren Family disciples, had been worried.
But suddenly, upon hearing He Gang’s words, they were all stunned in place!
They looked at Ye Fan with incredulity on their faces!
This was completely impossible, right?
Today, He Gang and Liu Zijian’s joint action was clearly backed by someone, intending to take down the Ren Family!
So how did Ye Fan resolve the crisis with just a few words, making He Gang submit to him?
How did he manage to do that?
The scene was in an uproar, and the most shocked was Liu Zijian, who was by He Gang’s side.
“He Gang, have you lost your mind? When did we ever say we were going to hold shares for that idiot Ye Fan… This is Young Master Feng…” Liu Zijian wanted to say more, but after seeing the sharp look in Ye Fan’s eyes, he could only shut up obediently and meekly step forward, tugging weakly at He Gang’s sleeve.
“Ah! Patriarch Liu, you’d better watch out for yourself, brother, I can’t afford to play this game!” With a sigh of resignation, He Gang knew his son was in Ye Fan’s hands, and the He Family had previously taken part in the hunt for Young Master Ye. It appeared that Ye Fan had already uncovered some of the truth.
Now, He Gang just wanted to reunite with his son as soon as possible and then make a quick getaway!
The big shot from Capital had already abandoned the vassal families in Flower Capital, and He Gang and the others had to find a way to save themselves.
“Patriarch He, here’s the transfer contract. Please sign it,” said Ye Fan. As he spoke, he nodded to Guo Li, who had already arrived by his side. Guo Li and Wang Fugui immediately brought out the pre-prepared contract and handed it to He Gang.
A standard contract, with all terms complete, and no loopholes.
He Gang wore a look of despair!
Damn it!
Ye Fan, that bastard, must have calculated everything before the banquet, digging a trap and just waiting for me to jump in!
Otherwise, how could he be so well prepared?
“Ye Fan, you set me up… I…” He Gang was so frustrated he was nearly going crazy, “I haven’t seen my son yet, I won’t sign!” he hissed at Ye Fan in a low voice.
Ye Fan smiled faintly, “Do you think you have a choice? Shall I make another phone call right now? It just so happens that there are a few hungry wolves over there!”
“No, no, no! I’ll sign, I’ll sign… But even if I sign, it’s not valid until we go back to the company and stamp it with the official seal…” He Gang continued to look for reasons and excuses, trying to stall!
Young Master Feng should be arriving soon, right?
Once Young Master Feng gets here, Ye Fan won’t have the capital to be so arrogant, right?
But the next scene completely broke He Gang!
“The official seal? I’ve already sent someone to get it for President He!” Ye Fan gestured, and Wang Fugui roughly pushed forward a bespectacled man, who was none other than He Gang’s private secretary from He Corporation, holding a seal box. “President He, they insisted that you wanted me to bring the seal over to you…”
