Chapter 20: The Terrifying Power of a Fool's Outburst!
At this moment, Ye Fan desperately wanted to tell Su Yixue that he had already awakened!
But before the real enemy had been fully identified, Ye Fan could not reveal that he was conscious. He had to keep pretending to be a fool.
Crash!
At the entrance of the alley, Li Hu and Xia Hao had already arrived with a large group of men, surrounding the area and swiftly subduing Wu Laolang's subordinates.
Snapping out of his shock, Wu Laolang's face turned deathly pale. "Quick! Come with me! Kill them! Kill them now!"
As he shouted, Wu Laolang brandished the saber in his hand and charged toward Su Yixue and Ye Fan.
A dozen meters away, Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and the others saw what was happening and shouted anxiously, "Quick! Protect Young Master Ye and Miss Su! Hurry!"
But no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't teleport across more than ten meters.
"You still want to bully my wife? You're all bad people..." Just as everyone was panicking, Ye Fan suddenly seemed to go berserk. After letting go of Su Yixue, he picked up a saber and charged wildly at Wu Laolang.
Crack!
Wu Laolang exchanged only a single strike with Ye Fan before the saber in his hand shattered into pieces.
Ye Fan grabbed Wu Laolang by the neck, lifted him like a chicken, and swung him around, driving away the surrounding thugs. Then, in the simplest and most brutal way, he slammed Wu Laolang hard onto the bluestone pavement.
"You bullied my wife! You bullied my wife!"
Pfft!
Boom!
Wu Laolang's nearly two-hundred-pound body was swung around by Ye Fan like a wooden stick and smashed violently into the ground.
With every impact, a large section of the bluestone pavement cracked apart.
The pitiful Wu Laolang, over six feet tall, was like a rag doll in Ye Fan's hands, utterly incapable of resisting.
No one knew how many ribs had been broken. Blood poured from all seven orifices.
At first, Wu Laolang screamed in agony. But eventually, his body went limp like a dead dog, breathing out more than breathing in.
Wu Laolang had been beaten to death alive!
Hiss!
The surrounding men Wu Laolang had brought were completely stunned by Ye Fan's ferocity and forgot to attack.
Wang Fugui, Li Hu, and even Su Yixue, who had rushed over, all stared blankly at Ye Fan's current state.
So this was Ye Fan?
Just revealing the tip of the iceberg of his strength was already this terrifying?
If the full power of this monstrous genius were unleashed, what would it be like?
"Xiao Fan..." Seeing Ye Fan in his nearly crazed state, Su Yixue softly called out.
From his condition, she had already reached a conclusion. Ye Fan probably hadn't truly awakened. It was simply his instinct being triggered because she had been in danger.
But that also meant Ye Fan had every chance of recovering!
Now she could only hope Sister Linglong would bring the Great Xia Medical Saint as soon as possible to treat him.
With Wu Laolang dead, the remaining thugs had no desire to keep fighting and were quickly captured by Li Hu's men.
Ye Fan gradually calmed down from his frenzy and looked at Wu Laolang's corpse with a sharp gaze.
"Wife, who were they? Why were they trying to kill you?"
Ye Fan knew these thugs hadn't truly wanted to attack Su Yixue on their own. Someone had to be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Xia Hao immediately caught on. Since Ye Fan was still pretending to be a fool and couldn't conveniently step forward in certain matters, it was his turn to act.
After Wu Laolang was killed, his capable lieutenants were dragged over by Li Hu's men and forced to kneel before Li Hu and Xia Hao.
"Talk! Who ordered you to attack Miss Su?" Li Hu dragged his saber across the ground and merely jabbed one of Wu Laolang's men twice in the chest.
The man immediately confessed.
"Don't kill me, Master Hu! It wasn't our idea! Young Master Wang from the Wang family came to Wu Laolang and ordered him to hunt down Miss Su. He said it was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys..."
After hearing the explanations from Wu Laolang's men, Ye Fan immediately understood.
So the Liu family from the provincial capital had finally made their move?
The Xia family had chosen to cooperate with the Su Group. Given the current public opinion, this was extremely unfavorable for the Ye family's enemies.
They had to strike at the Su Group as quickly as possible to show everyone what would happen if they sided with the Ye family.
The Zhao, Wang, and Li families were all vassal families of the Liu family.
Originally, the Zhao family had been leading the charge.
But Ye Fan had wiped out the Zhao family the previous night.
That left only the Wang and Li families.
Hmph!
He hadn't even gone looking for them yet, and they had come knocking first?
Very soon, they would learn the consequences of laying a hand on the Su family.
"Xiao Fan!" Seeing that everything had finally settled down, Su Yixue's tightly wound nerves instantly relaxed. Her body staggered as she collapsed into Ye Fan's arms.
"Save the security captain... Datou..."
Her final words reminded everyone to save the Su family's security captain, Zhao Datou.
At this moment, Zhao Datou lay in a pool of blood, barely alive. He was gravely injured but still breathing.
Ye Fan merely glanced over.
Xia Hao immediately understood.
"Don't just stand there! Get Miss Su to the hospital immediately! Bring those bodyguards too! Hurry!"
...
Half an hour later, in a VIP hospital ward.
After giving Su Yixue a thorough examination, the doctor gestured for everyone to relax.
"Don't worry. The patient was simply under too much stress and exhausted herself. After some rest, she'll wake up soon."
Wang Fugui, Xia Hao, and the others all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In truth, Ye Fan had already checked Su Yixue's pulse on the way to the hospital. He knew her condition and wasn't worried.
However, he had also heard about security captain Zhao Datou.
A mere security captain had risked his life to protect Su Yixue under those circumstances, nearly sacrificing himself.
This was someone worthy of trust.
Ye Fan still had many important matters to handle in the future and couldn't remain by Su Yixue's side forever.
She needed someone absolutely reliable to protect her.
Ye Fan had already made up his mind.
Since Zhao Datou was willing to risk his life for Su Yixue, then Ye Fan would grant him a great opportunity.
Ye Fan glanced at Xia Hao.
"What about the security guard..."
Xia Hao was extremely perceptive. Hearing Ye Fan's words, he immediately understood that Ye Fan wanted to visit Zhao Datou.
"Young Master Ye wants to see Zhao Datou? His wounds have already been stitched up. He's in the room next door. I'll take you there right away."
As he spoke, Xia Hao led Ye Fan out of the ward and toward the neighboring room.
After entering, Xia Hao tactfully remained outside.
"Young Master Ye, take your time visiting. I'll stand guard at the door."
Ye Fan's true identity couldn't be exposed yet, and Xia Hao intended to protect that secret as much as possible.
Ye Fan glanced at Xia Hao.
This Xia Hao was quite clever. He was someone worth cultivating.
After entering the room, Ye Fan stepped forward and checked Zhao Datou's pulse.
Everything was stable.
Zhao Datou was already awake. Seeing Ye Fan taking his pulse, he asked in confusion,
"Young Master Ye... you..."
Ye Fan waved his hand, signaling him not to move.
"Don't move around. I just came to see you and chat about something."
"Huh?"
The weakened Zhao Datou's pupils widened as he stared at Ye Fan in shock.
"Young Master Ye... y-you're... you're not a fool anymore?"
Hadn't everyone outside said Ye Fan had been mentally impaired for five years?
But judging from how Ye Fan was acting now, how could he possibly look like a fool?
