Chapter 50: Playing Dirty? Resorting to Force!
“Big Brother, my father sent me abroad to study, and I only found out about what happened to the Ye family yesterday! I’m sorry… Big brother, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you all these years. My longing for you has been like a mighty river, rolling endlessly…”
As Guo Li spoke, he strode onto the stage and grabbed Ye Fan by both hands.
“Big brother, after not seeing you for several years, I’ve noticed that you’ve become even more handsome and charming! Haha, tell me honestly, have you been well taken care of by your sister-in-law?”
Guo Li had absolutely no intention of holding back as he teased Su Yixue.
“You brat, you’re asking for a beating!”
Su Yixue’s face instantly flushed with embarrassment at Guo Li’s words. She was familiar with Guo Li as well.
Although Guo Li’s family was based in the provincial capital, five years ago, Guo Li had followed Ye Fan around every day together with Wang Fugui.
One was skilled in martial arts while the other was skilled in strategy. Together, they were known as the “Heihe Generals”!
Wang Fugui handled the fighting, while Guo Li had an extraordinary intellect and was responsible for strategy and planning.
Combined with Ye Fan’s monstrous talent, the three of them had been known as the “Three Mischievous Trio” back then, and their reputation had spread throughout Tianan Province and even the entire southwestern region.
Later, Ye Fan was left mentally impaired after a car accident, while Guo Li was sent abroad to study for a period of time, temporarily breaking up their trio.
But their friendship had never been severed!
“Damn! Scholar Guo, can you stop being so shameless? You’re always stealing my lines… Does my big brother’s handsome and dashing appearance even need you to describe it? Let me tell you, when I took big brother to the brothel, those girls practically threw themselves at him…”
Seeing his two good brothers immediately start bickering the moment they met, Ye Fan felt a headache coming on. His brows involuntarily furrowed.
There was nothing wrong with these two brothers, except that when it came to flattering him, each was more shameless than the other!
“Huh?”
Although Ye Fan had merely frowned, Guo Li immediately noticed the change in his expression.
“Big brother… you’re pretending?”
Guo Li’s voice had been fairly loud at first, but he lowered it considerably when he said those words, cautiously glancing around as well.
This was the difference between Guo Li and Wang Fugui. Guo Li was much more intelligent than Wang Fugui. From that tiny movement by Ye Fan, he immediately guessed most of Ye Fan’s plan and even knew to keep it secret.
The corner of Ye Fan’s mouth twitched.
With Guo Li’s intelligence, it would be somewhat difficult to keep him in the dark.
Since that was the case, when the opportunity was right, he might as well tell Guo Li the truth.
After all, many of Ye Fan’s plans going forward would require someone to carry them out. Xia Hao alone could not handle everything. And his sworn brother Guo Li was the perfect choice. Besides, Guo Li was intelligent and capable of overseeing the bigger picture.
Seeing Ye Fan slightly raise his eyebrows, Guo Li immediately understood and wisely did not ask any further questions.
Instead, he took the microphone from Su Yixue and loudly announced,
“Everyone, you’ve all seen the effects of the Su family’s Xueyan Beauty Cream today! Anyone who wants to cooperate should seize the opportunity and register immediately. First come, first served! Miss this opportunity, and there won’t be another one! Buy it now and you’ll definitely make a profit!”
Guo Li was naturally smooth and sociable, the kind of person who could get along with anyone. With just a few words, he managed to stir up the enthusiasm of everyone present.
As for the distributors arranged by Li Zhong and Qin Tao, they had already been beaten so badly that they could barely make a sound.
In an instant, the situation at the venue completely turned in the Su family’s favor.
Ye Fan secretly nodded in satisfaction.
With Guo Li helping him oversee the overall situation, he could save himself a lot of trouble.
“Everyone, line up! Line up and pay your deposits!”
Under Ye Fan’s planning, with Lei Qianjue, Guo Li, and the others stepping in and stirring things up, the entire product launch went perfectly.
Li Zhong and Qin Tao’s plan had completely failed. Instead, some of the distributors who had originally cooperated with the Li family now chose to throw their lot in with the Su family.
“Mr. Li, what’s the matter? Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Are you planning to stay here until New Year’s?”
Guo Li looked at Li Zhong, who was still standing there in a daze, and coldly mocked him.
“If I were you, I would’ve found a piece of tofu and smashed my head against it by now. You played your own son to death, and you’re still here making a fool of yourself…”
Guo Li deliberately targeted Li Zhong’s deepest wounds.
Li Zhong’s face instantly turned livid with rage.
“Guo Li, you bastard! Don’t think that just because you’re from the provincial capital’s Guo family, I’ll be afraid of you! Hmph! Everyone, get ready to move!”
Crash!
Following Li Zhong’s shout, more than a hundred burly men suddenly surged out from around the venue, carrying combat knives, steel rods, and various other weapons. They surrounded the entire hall.
“All of you, listen up! Who among you dares to sign a contract with the Su family today?”
Li Zhong coldly shouted.
Behind those burly men, another group of archers suddenly appeared, their crossbows aimed at the representatives and business owners present.
“Li Zhong, what the hell do you mean?”
Su Honghai jumped up from his seat and angrily shouted at Li Zhong.
Unable to defeat the Su family through business tactics, they had now resorted to dirty tricks?
Were they planning to use force to forcibly obstruct the Su family’s development?
“Hmph! Isn’t it obvious what I mean? Your Su family has gotten too close to the Ye family. This is the punishment imposed on your Su family by those above!”
Seeing the assassins he had arranged, Li Zhong finally relaxed. A smug smile appeared on his face.
“Now your Su family has two choices. Continue to stand with the Ye family, and today will be the day your Su family is destroyed!”
“Or hand over Ye Fan and accept the acquisition by my Li Group. That way, your Su Group can continue to survive! As for the price, I already told you—2.5 million…”
Li Zhong wore a cold, sinister smile.
His ambitions were huge. Since he had already decided to act today, he intended to capture Ye Fan and kill him outright.
Li Yunyang had suddenly died at the engagement banquet yesterday. Although there was no evidence, Li Zhong had always believed that Ye Fan had something to do with his son’s death.
So he would kill Ye Fan to avenge his son!
“You’re dreaming!”
Su Yixue stepped in front of Ye Fan.
“Li Zhong, you’re too despicable! If you want to hurt Ye Fan, you’ll have to step over my dead body first!”
Su Yixue’s expression was resolute.
She was already Ye Fan’s woman, and she had promised Old Master Ye that she would protect Ye Fan.
If Ye Fan were injured while under her protection, how could she explain herself to Sister Linglong?
Sister Linglong… huh?
Where did she go?
Su Yixue suddenly realized that Yu Linglong should also have been at the venue, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Where had she gone?
“Su Yixue, do you still think you’re that untouchable princess? You stinking bitch…”
Thinking about how Su Yixue had humiliated him just now, as well as how Ye Fan had cut open such a huge wound on his arm, a sinister look appeared on Li Zhong’s face.
He raised his hand and was about to slap Su Yixue across the face.
Boom!
But before Li Zhong could swing his hand, Ye Fan suddenly grabbed a chair from beside him and smashed it violently against Li Zhong’s head.
“You old bastard… Whoever dares to hurt my wife, I’ll fight him to the death!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Fan swung the chair with an innocent, foolish expression on his face, showing absolutely no restraint.
Again and again, he viciously smashed the chair against Li Zhong’s head!
Li Zhong was struck until stars swam before his eyes. His head split open, and his body staggered several times before he swayed and collapsed toward the ground.
“You fucking idiot… Are you fucking crazy… Holy shit…”
Beside Li Zhong, Qin Tao finally reacted to what was happening.
He angrily shouted at the surrounding men,
“What are you idiots waiting for? Move! Take down everyone from the Su family!”
