Chapter 62 Provoking at the Edge of Death!
"You're vicious... huh! You can protect him for a moment, but can you protect him for a lifetime?"
Taking a step back, Liu Qingyang glared wickedly at Yu Linglong and others, "I'm afraid it won't be long before Ye Fan's corpse will be exposed in the wilderness, and by then, you'll all become true widows... Haha, do you really want to remarry that old Ye Family geezer?"
Liu Qingyang laughed wildly, stirring an uncontrollable killing intent within Ye Fan!
As Liu Qingyang continued his brazen taunts and passed by Ye Fan, he whispered in Ye Fan's ear, "Idiot, do you know? Your second brother died a really miserable death. At the time, I stabbed him over a dozen times, even severing his tendons one by one... Hehe, in the end, that pitiful guy even kneeled and begged me to spare you... Sadly, you'll soon be joining him..."
Huh?
In an instant, Ye Fan's pupils contracted violently!
The true culprit responsible for the annihilation of the Ye Family was finally showing his face?
Ye Fan had not anticipated that the Liu Family of Provincial City would also partake in the action!
In the Southwest Vermilion Bird War Zone, the Liu Family actually took part in the assassination of his elder brother Ye Lingjun?
Seeking death!
At that moment, Ye Fan could no longer contain the rage in his heart and suddenly reached out to grab Liu Qingyang.
Looking at Ye Fan triumphantly, Liu Qingyang said, "What, you want to hit me? Now that I've told you the truth, what can you do about it?"
This time, even if he couldn't handle Ye Fan himself, with Captain Chu Feng joining the operation, wouldn't it be easy for Chu Feng to deal with Ye Fan?
Ye Fan knew that Liu Qingyang's main purpose in coming here was to provoke him and make him reveal himself.
Once he exposed himself, those behind the scenes targeting the Ye Family would either crazily stop at nothing to assassinate Ye Fan or go into deep hiding.
So...
Ye Fan rapidly thrust out with a silver needle, a stream of Qi Force carrying an odorless and tasteless poison penetrating into Liu Qingyang's body.
Not exposing himself didn't mean Ye Fan had no means to deal with Liu Qingyang. At the engagement party of the Li Family, Ye Fan had managed to kill Li Yunyang without raising any suspicion, so he could certainly kill Liu Qingyang as well.
However, Ye Fan didn't plan to let Liu Qingyang die so quickly, but rather wanted him to experience the agony of a fate worse than death!
"Ah? What are you doing?" Liu Qingyang was stabbed with a start, and although it was just a sudden sharpness on his skin, he felt the pain bore deep into his marrow as if his soul itself was being seared.
At the same time, a faint presence began circulating within Liu Qingyang's body, seemingly merging with his meridians.
What... what is this?
Although he felt something was off, after a careful check, Liu Qingyang didn't detect anything else and fiercely glared at Ye Fan before quickly leaving the scene.
...
The Su Family banquet continued until the afternoon, after which everyone dispersed.
Yu Linglong took her leave, as disturbances from the Japanese Dog in the Southeast War Zone had been increasing recently, and more martial arts masters were being dispatched there; Yu Linglong needed to return to command.
Su Yixue went back to Su Corporation to start working on the expansion and production of the medical business.
With Guo Li and Wang Fugui accompanying Ye Fan, Su Yixue and others were reassured.
"Big brother, what's our next move?" Once the banquet was over, Guo Li and Wang Fugui walked ahead, followed by Xia Hao, Li Hu, and others.
Elder Pang provided intelligence that a big shot from the Northwest had been dispatched, and Liu Qingyang of the Provincial City had also arrived in Cloud City to take action.
The others didn't understand the meaning behind Liu Qingyang's scream earlier, but Guo Li and Xia Hao knew that Ye Fan must have done something to Liu Qingyang!
Ye Fan must certainly have a plan for the next move!
Just as Ye Fan was about to speak, Ye Changfeng, the Old Master, approached him quickly with Leng Feng from a nearby car.
"Elder Ye!"
Guo Li and the others respectfully greeted Elder Ye, who had been presiding over the Northern region for many years, rightfully earning the title of King of the Northern Region.
"Hmm!" Ye Changfeng was very satisfied with these young companions who were always at Ye Fan's side, "You all are doing well. I won't say much about Guo Li and Wang Fugui! Mr. Xia, if you face any obstacles in your business in Provincial City, you can call this number to reach Jiang Cheng, the Provincial Defense Chief. He is my student. Just tell him I sent you to him!"
While speaking, Ye Changfeng handed a business card to Xia Hao.
"Ah! Thank you, Elder Ye!" Xia Hao respectfully took the business card, feeling a great shock inside, and instinctively glanced at Ye Fan.
There were benefits to being at Ye Fan's side. Ye Fan had previously given him such incredible Elixir Pills and with Ye Fan's potential for the future, even without any benefits, Xia Hao would do his utmost!
Seeing that Ye Fan did not object, Xia Hao then put away the business card.
Although it was just a business card, Xia Hao knew all too well what it signified.
The Provincial Defense Chief of Tiannan Province was a powerful figure dominating Tiannan, and with his support, at least within Tiannan Province, few would dare to trouble the Xia Family.
This was a real treasure sword, truly useful and wieldable.
Although Xia Hao was discreet in looking at Ye Fan, Ye Changfeng, who had been carefully observing Xia Hao, saw his reaction very clearly.
Just handing over a business card required permission from Ye Fan?
Ye Changfeng was now eighty percent sure that Ye Fan must have already recovered and that Xia Hao was likely one of the informed parties.
In recent times, many things had been done with Xia Hao accompanying Ye Fan.
Leading Li Hu to rescue Su Yixue, dealing with the Li Family, and using others to deal with the Wang Family and Xu Jian father and son... all of it now made sense!
In front of outsiders, Ye Fan still needed to continue pretending to be a fool. But when it came down to the actual actions and strategic planning, someone had to carry them out.
So Xia Hao was the perfect person to cover up and execute these tasks, and now that Guo Li had returned, as a former brother and strategist, Scholar Guo was fully qualified too!
Therefore, Guo Li and Xia Hao must be the informed parties!
As for Wang Fugui, this Big Fool, although his strength was good, his mouth... so he was likely kept in the dark!
After speculating on all the matters, Ye Changfeng finally understood why Xia Hao was able to organize the Su Family press conference so tightly?
Ye Fan was a monstrous genius; when awake, his talents and intellect were top-notch, and it all made sense now!
"Now that Xu Jian father and son have met their end along with the Wang Family! Ye Corporation also has a sizable capital scale and needs people to help manage... Mr. Xia, Guo Li, I intend to teach Ye Corporation to Ye Fan. I'll report to the board of directors and appoint you both as vice presidents of the group... No objections, right?"
Guo Li's reaction was quite normal, as titles like president didn't matter to him.
He knew that even if Ye Fan was lucid, after Ye Corporation was handed over to Ye Fan, he would most likely still pass it on to him.
But Xia Hao was once again astonished; an outsider himself, merely the head of the Xia Family in Provincial City with assets just over a hundred billion, he was nothing compared to the Ye Family!
And Elder Ye was appointing him as the vice president of Ye Corporation in a blink of an eye—what immense trust that was!
"This… Elder Ye, this is not appropriate…" His original intention in coming to find Ye Fan was to repay a debt of gratitude, but in just a few days, the benefits he had received had already reached heights unimaginable to many!
Xia Hao wanted to look at Ye Fan yet again for guidance, but Guo Li couldn't stand it any longer and directly cut him off, "Director Xia, since Elder Ye has arranged this, let's just follow Elder Ye's plans! Later, when Young Master Ye awakens, we can always resign!"
