Chapter 401: Morning
Fan lightly pressed down with his hand, calming the students in the audience. Then, he continued, “Perhaps standing here to campaign for class president, I myself feel a little disdain for myself. Be...Chapter 401: Morning
The next morning.
When sunlight streamed through the purple gauze curtains and landed on Ye Fan, he turned over. He instinctively reached out to where his aunt slept, but found that she was gone. He then picked up his phone from the side table and glanced at the time, it was just half past seven.
While Si Kong Yanran had already gone to the company early. Even though she was now the chairman of the Si Kong Group, the company's affairs had left her overwhelmed. Especially in the current unclear situation, as the head of the family, she couldn't spare a moment of distraction.
Thinking about last night's madness with his aunt, Ye Fan couldn't help but smile warmly. Since yesterday, his aunt had changed completely, letting go and accepting their roles as lovers. Being able to enjoy such a warm moment with his aunt, a wave of warmth flowed through Ye Fan's heart.
After so long of getting used to it, the identity has finally changed.
Lighting a cigarette, Ye Fan leaned back. In the swirling smoke, he pondered the current situation in Linhai.
The fat man passed on Zhang Min's information, along with a wealth of information about the Wang family. Although the Wang family now relied on the powerful Uwen family, according to the data, Wang Mingke was not someone content to be a subordinate. One could say that a person who can hide their true feelings for over a decade, willingly enduring any scorn or contempt and allowing everyone to misunderstand them, is definitely someone of substance.
Had an ordinary person been in his shoes, they would have long since broken down. But Wang Mingke endured it all and, as he wished, became the head of the Wang family. A man like this, could he possibly be content being someone else's subordinate
No, he temporarily relies on the Yuwen family and Yun family out of necessity. Most of his power currently comes from these two families. So, he once again puts himself back into a state of forbearance.
Give him a chance, and he'll surely do something unexpected. But that chance has to be tempting enough to pique his interest.
After smoking a cigarette, Ye Fan had already made his calculations. The Wang family didn't have much clout, but Wang Mingke would definitely make everyone look at him with admiration.
He extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray and Ye Fan jumped down from the bed. Looking at the mess on the bed, he couldn't help but smile wryly, then pulled the sheets off and took off the duvet cover, holding them and threw them into the washing machine in the bathroom. He took a hot shower before getting dressed and walking downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, Aunt Zheng had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Ye Fan walk down, she immediately stood up and said, "Young Master Ye, good morning."
Although Ye Fan told Zheng Yi many times not to call her "Ye Shao" but simply "Xiao Fan," Zheng Yi never changed her ways. Ye Fan just let her continue calling him that.
After breakfast, he was just about to go to the garage to start his car when his phone rang. He stopped and saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
"Young Master Ye, tonight Ding Can and his men are going to make their move." The voice of the fat man came through the phone. It was clear that this guy was eating chicken legs while talking on the phone.
"Oh So soon." Ye Fan heard it was the fat man's voice, so he continued walking towards the garage.
“Yeah, the higher-ups have spoken.” The fat man said nonchalantly. The chaos in Linhai had nothing to do with him; he got involved because of Ye Fan. Everyone related to Ye Fan was someone he wanted to protect, just like when something happened at Liu Qin’s villa outside the city, knowing Liu Qin and Ye Fan were special, the fat man rushed there immediately. Otherwise, Linhai City wouldn't be in its current state.
"Oh, what's the attitude up there" Ye Fan walked to the car, opened the door and sat in, starting the engine.
“Steady as she goes.” The fat man was probably done with his chicken legs, and his speech had become clearer. Two swallowing sounds came from over there before he continued, “There absolutely can’t be any trouble in Linhai, especially on a large scale fight. After what happened at the suburban villa last time, things have been under extra scrutiny. This time, it won't be allowed to happen again. So, even if something changes tonight, it will be confined within a certain range.”
Stability above all else, that was a phrase Ye Fan often heard when he was with the organization. For this phrase, they had once ventured to remote border regions for missions. So when Fatty said it, he understood that the organization was already closely monitoring the turmoil in Linhai City.
"A few of Wolf Fang's brothers have also come." The Fat Man said in a somewhat low voice.
Ye Fan's face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered to normal. At this time, he had already driven the car onto the highway, talking on the phone with one hand and driving with the other.
"Fatty, I got it." Hearing Fatty's words, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said faintly. After that, he hung up the phone directly. On the other end, Fatty had a sullen face, as if thinking about something.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan continued driving to school. At this moment, he noticed that a red BMW X6 was slowly following him from behind. Seeing the BMW for the first time, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly, and then he parked his car on the side of the road.
Soon, the BMW drove up and stopped behind his car. Randomly, the car door opened, and a man in his forties with a flat head jumped out of the car. The middle-aged man looked very imposing, with a strong back and broad shoulders, and a stern face.
He glanced at Ye Fan's car with a complicated expression, then walked forward and lightly tapped on the window.
Ye Fan slowly rolled down the car window, glanced at the elderly man, and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect Xu Chu to be dispatched this time."
The middle-aged man just smiled wryly and then said, "Come on, have a drink with me."
"I still have to go to school." Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, the middle-aged man surnamed Xu twitched his facial muscles and then said, "Don't give me these excuses. I hardly ever come to Linhai, you know"
"A big shot like you should be accompanied by the influential figures near the sea. Why are you looking for me, an ordinary person" Ye Fan teased, but he didn't get out of the car. He just looked at Xu Chu's eyes with some complexity.
Ye Fan was very clear about the energy of this middle-aged man in front of him. Don't look at him as just a department-level cadre, but he is the director of National Security. The entire Dragon Tooth organization is currently under his coordination, a figure with real power, someone who sees the No. 1 leader every day. In both National Security and the CIA, his position was not small.
And, he's only in his forties this year and already holds this position. In a few years, he'll be able to reach the top spot in national security, with virtually no suspense. Although his identity is kept strictly confidential, even in Linhai City, he can walk around with impunity.
Such a person, at such a time, actually came to the seaside. He looked for Ye Fan, what exactly did he want to do
(cqs!)f the enemy's supply lines, he wouldn't have been able to move Ye Fan today. Fortunately, he had already dug a pit that Ye Fan had to jump into."You want evidence Well, then I'll give you evidence," W...
