Chapter 624: Beijing

ement between the Canglang Gang and the Nanlong Gang all along."Yes, the next moment, is the day of Tianhu's death." Liuqin said resolutely.A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Fan's face. He seemed to h...In Beijing, a city brimming with power and wealth, nobles and celebrities resided everywhere. It was to the point where even an casually dropped brick could potentially hit a minister. In this place where every inch of land was valuable, owning a manor spanning hundreds of acres was undoubtedly a symbol of power.

In the west suburbs, beside a quiet little island, stands a detached manor, Minghe Manor.

No one knows who the owner of Ming Garden is, but to have such a large estate in this area of the western suburbs, full of aristocrats, requires more than just wealth. Besides, the entire estate encompasses an island and lake, essentially a private villa complex.

In the afternoon, a military green jeep slowly stopped at the entrance of the manor. Soon, a fat man who seemed to be gasping for breath jumped out of the car, opened the front door, and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing the fat man like this, Ye Fan in the front row smiled helplessly and jumped out of the car. At the same time, Li Su, Jinlong, and Tutu also jumped out of the car.

"How's it going" The fat man gestured toward the slightly heavy, crimson-red manor gate behind him.

"Not bad." Ye Fan nodded slightly, then stared at the fat man and asked, "Did Lao Chen's family prepare a house for you to get married"

"Oh well, if the Chen family treated me this well, I wouldn't have to work so hard. Now I'm so poor I can't even afford chicken legs." The Fatty grumbled as he shook his head. His facial muscles quivered with every shake, making him look incredibly naive.

Just as the fat man finished speaking, a man in Tang suit, about sixty years old, walked out of the manor gate. He was holding a dragon turtle handle in his right hand and twirling it. After walking out, he first glanced at everyone's faces, then finally fixed his gaze on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan also narrowed his eyes slightly and met the old man's gaze. Although the old man was over sixty, he was still vigorous, especially his pair of eyes, which revealed a gleam, as if he wanted to see through people.

The old man before them exuded the aura of a superior being. He stood there, just like an insurmountable mountain. After staring at Ye Fan for several minutes, a meaningful smile flickered across his face.

"Old Wei, the last time I came with Little Fatty, you only had the butler come get me. Today you personally came out to greet me, that's not fair..." The fatty grumbled, but his face was full of excitement and surprise.

Ye Fan seemed to recognize the old man in front of him, and he slightly bent his waist respectfully, saying: "Elder Wei."

When Jinlong and Li Su saw the elder, they were completely stunned. The two of them were completely shocked and unbelievable. They had seen this elder on TV before. However, it had been a long time since they had seen him. They didn't expect that he would actually live in this manor and come out to greet them personally.

Old Wei nodded slightly, a face full of praise and smiled: "Little fatty, if you were as outstanding as the young master Ye, even if this old man came to pick you up himself, what would it matter"

After finishing his words, he looked at Ye Fan again and said with a smile, "Ye family boy, it's been quite a few years since we last met, hasn't it"

Ye Fan nodded and respectfully said, "Eight years. The last time was when you inspected our training ground."

"Indeed, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little kids from back then have all grown into handsome young men now." Wei Lao said with a wistful expression. After finishing his sentence, he turned to look at Tutu and then said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Thus, led by Lao Wei, several people walked into the manor. Shortly after, a plainclothes security guard drove away the fat man's car.

Mr. Wei, as a core figure of the former empire, holds an extraordinary status and influence in China. His family, the Wei clan, has gradually become a prominent family capable of swaying the empire due to his contributions. However, Mr. Wei is a humble man with strict requirements for his family. Therefore, there are rarely any appearances of members from the Wei clan outside the family circle.

When the fat man brought him here, Ye Fan had vaguely guessed that he was coming to visit Old Wei. However, when Old Wei truly appeared before him, he was still a little shocked.

The last time I saw Lao Wei was ten years ago. Back then, Ye Fan was still training at the camp on the border of the northwest. As for Lao Wei, he had already reached a high position, becoming one of the leaders of the empire. At that time, the entire intelligence and special organization system was under Lao Wei's jurisdiction. And Lao Wei particularly valued Longya, so he often visited Longya's base to check on them.

Because of Ye Fan and the Fatty's identity issues, Old Wei would always pay special attention to them whenever they went to the training base. From Ye Fan truly growing into a member of Dragontooth to Old Wei's retirement, ten years had passed.

Ten years have passed, and Lao Wei has retired from the world. And Ye Fan has also left Longya. The two met in this way.

Under Wei Lao's leadership, the group arrived at the guest hall within the manor. By the time they arrived, someone had already prepared tea for them. As for Wei Lao, he sat in the lead position alone, holding a small purple clay teapot.

Since causing a ruckus in Beijing, the Fatty disappeared. No one knew where he went, not even Chen Ming. Who would have thought that this Fatty was hiding inside Old Wei's estate, playing chess with Old Wei for several days.

It's no wonder countless people wanting to investigate Fatty's whereabouts have always come up empty-handed. Wei Lao's estate is truly not something an ordinary person can investigate. By bringing Ye Fan and the others to Wei Lao's estate, Fatty intended to conceal his tracks and lead some interested parties astray.

After all, the good show is about to begin, finding a good place is still very necessary.

As for how Fatty found Old Wei, this probably has something to do with Chen Family behind Fatty. Also, because once Ye Fan accompanied Old Wei in a chess game, Fatty served them tea on the side…

Sitting in the living room, Jinlong and Lisu were still a little reserved. In their eyes, Lao Wei was an unattainable superior figure. Now, he sat before them like a kind grandfather, making them feel as if they were dreaming.

Tu Tu didn't know who Wei Lao was. However, seeing Ye Fan's respect for Wei Lao, he knew that the old man in front of him was a big shot and naturally remained silent. He had originally been standing behind Ye Fan, faithfully carrying out his duty as a bodyguard. But Ye Fan didn't let him stand, instead commanding him to sit beside himself.

As for Ye Fan and the Fatty, since they met with Elder Wei, the two seemed to be as familiar as old friends. Not only did they ask Elder Wei to have the housekeeper bring some snacks, but they also coaxed Elder Wei into taking out his good tea leaves to brew for them. However, Elder Wei didn't seem to mind these things at all. Instead, he seemed a little happy because Ye Fan and Fatty were both present.

Just as they were enjoying the good tea brewed by Lao Wei, news spread in Beijing that Ye Fan had arrived but then disappeared. This information also reached the ears of interested people all over China.

"Little Fan is here, will he come to see me" At the same time, there were many people in Yanjing who, upon learning that Ye Fan had come to Yanjing, immediately thought of this...ly." After a moment, Si Kong Yanran's voice rang out: "This turmoil has had a serious impact on them. And tomorrow, some important figures from Linhai City will be attending. If members of the Ding fa...
