Wang Fugui looked at Guo Li with a hint of suspicion and asked, “Scholar Guo, what were you whispering about with big brother? Why do I get the feeling that you’re hiding something from me?”
“Big brother, tell me the truth, have you awakened? I promise I won’t tell anyone else!”
Wang Fugui had asked Ye Fan more than once or twice over the past few days!
Although Wang Fugui seemed somewhat simple-minded, he was only slow to react and not truly foolish!
Moreover, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Wang Fugui’s thought processes and intelligence seemed to have sharpened a bit.
Ye Fan and Guo Li exchanged glances without speaking and started walking towards the door!
…
Near the Su Corporation, in a courtyard, Xia Hao and Li Hu had Li Zhong and Qin Tao under control.
Li Zhong bitterly reprimanded, “Xia Hao, Li Hu, is there no law in your eyes? By restricting my freedom like this, you’re infringing upon human rights—I’m going to sue you…”
Bang!
Li Hu, notorious for his temper, waved the battle saber in his hand and slapped Li Zhong across the face, “Patriarch of the Li Family, you’d better understand your current situation! If it weren’t for Young Master Ye waiting for the news from your mouth, you would have died a thousand times over already!”
Law?
Hmph!
When Li Zhong gathered so many martial arts experts, assassins, and archers to surround the Su Family’s press conference, why didn’t he think about the law then?
If Li Zhong had won, would Ye Fan and Su Yixue, including Li Hu and Xia Hao, have had a good fate?
“You…” Li Zhong wanted to say more but stopped as Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and Ye Fan appeared at the entrance.
“Young Master Ye!” Xia Hao and Li Hu respectfully greeted Ye Fan.
Without responding, the straightforward Ye Fan grabbed a chair nearby and started pummeling Li Zhong and Qin Tao, “Bad people, you are bad people, wanting to bully my wife, deserve a beating…”
To attack the Su Family so viciously, if it weren’t for Ye Fan’s arrangements with Xia Hao and Yu Linglong well in advance, today might have seen another outcome altogether.
They couldn’t yet identify the mastermind behind the scenes, but these trash who were at the forefront had to be dealt with, to vent some anger and collect some interest!
After Ye Fan finished venting his anger, Guo Li stepped forward, “Patriarch of the Li Family, are you going to confess on your own, or should I employ some methods?” Guo Li smiled as he twirled a dagger in his hand, but that smile was eerily unsettling.
“I…”
Schlick!
As Li Zhong hesitated, Guo Li’s dagger had already made a cut on Li Zhong’s chest, “You really are detestable, to have nearly exterminated my big brother’s family. Death would be too kind for you…”
Guo Li truly considered Ye Fan as his elder brother and was furious when he found out that the entire Ye Family had almost been wiped out, wishing he could chop up those enemies into pieces.
“Ah…” Li Zhong, face filled with terror, looked at Guo Li. He hadn’t expected the seemingly refined and cultured Guo Li, known as Scholar Guo, to be so violent and ruthless, actually stabbing him and leaving a large hole in his chest.
Watching the blood flow from his wound, Li Zhong felt his Vitality Force draining away rapidly.
I’m really going to be played to death!
Li Zhong was absolutely certain that if he didn’t say something, they would indeed kill him on the spot.
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk, this operation was commanded by the head of the Liu Family in Provincial City. I was just assisting the organization; the real person in command was Qin Tao… Damn it, Qin Tao, you’ve killed me… I’m going to fight you with my life…”
Li Zhong thought of his dead son and realized that he, too, had fallen to such a plight.
Li Zhong knew that from today onward, the Li Family would definitely cease to exist.
He had originally thought that following the Liu Family of Provincial City would bring greater development for the Li Family, but now…
“Li Zhong, you’d better not slander people. What did we agree on before the action? Are you stupid? Do you think you can survive by talking about the plan above? Hmph… isn’t it just death? If we die, naturally, others will come to take down the Ye Family. They won’t last many days… Ah…”
Qin Tao spoke jovially, but the very next moment, Guo Li plunged a knife straight into his chest, creating a huge hole.
“You’re quite noisy! Rest assured, once Li Zhong has finished confessing, it’ll quickly be your turn!” Guo Li turned his head to Li Zhong and said, “Continue!”
“I know they were planning an operation, initially to stop Divine Doctor Lei from treating Young Master Ye, and there was another plan. It seems that a bigwig from above would personally come to test Young Master Ye, to see if he had woken up… also, others from Provincial City will be sent here too…”
Li Zhong spilled the beans, sharing all the information he knew.
Although Ye Fan already knew some parts, the fact that a bigwig backing Liu Ran was getting restless and planning to personally come down to Cloud City was something Ye Fan hadn’t anticipated.
As long as they dared to come, Ye Fan would ensure they would never return!
“Guests are coming? Are they bad guys? If they’re bad guys, we’ll just beat them to death…” Ye Fan naively responded, and Guo Li held back a laugh as he looked at Ye Fan, thinking how convincingly Ye Fan was playing his part.
“Li Zhong, have you gone mad? Are you really spilling everything?” Qin Tao was frantic. He had planned to take those secrets to his grave, but since Li Zhong was not adhering to their code by revealing most of them, keeping his own secrets seemed pointless!
You want to see who’s worse? Then let’s see who can sink lower!
“I’ll talk as well. I also know that there are two people in contact with Liu Ran from above; one is from the Military with the codename Lone Wolf, and the other is Young Master Zhou from the Capital. They plotted against the Ye Family, and apart from exterminating them, they’re also tracking an item that supposedly can swiftly boost Combat Power. I don’t know what it is exactly…”
Qin Tao and Li Zhong, as if competing, were pouring out all the secrets they knew.
Ye Fan, Guo Li, and the others listened to the disclosures as if watching an exciting play.
Ye Fan now had a rough understanding of their plans!
The young master from Provincial City was easy to deal with, but the bigwig from the Military would require careful attention… If they came, they must be made to stay here, and ideally, they shouldn’t suspect it was his doing. It seemed he had to plan carefully!
In the Northwest, within a secluded estate!
The large screen on the wall was live-streaming the Su Corporation press conference. The plans of Li Zhong and the others were clear for all to see.
Only after Li Zhong and his companions were taken away did the old man beside the screen turn it off in irritation, “Is this the action you arranged? Allowing the Su Corporation to make a spectacle of themselves, and the entire Li Family to be wiped out? What have you done?”
“How will the others perceive us if this continues? Openly defying us, unscathed, not to mention their huge success at the press conference? What is this?”
“Elder, please calm your anger! It’s my fault, I didn’t anticipate they would be so well-prepared… I will go to Cloud City immediately, and take the opportunity to directly eliminate Ye Fan, to prevent any future threats…”
