Chapter 53: Competing to See Who’s Worse? Then Let’s Hurt Each Other!
Wang Fugui looked suspiciously at Guo Li.
“Scholar Guo, what did you secretly discuss with Big Brother? Why do I feel like you two are hiding something from me?”
“Big Brother, tell me the truth. Have you already woken up? I promise I won't tell anyone!”
Wang Fugui had asked Ye Fan this question more than once over the past few days.
Although Wang Fugui looked somewhat simple and slow-witted, he wasn't actually stupid.
Moreover, after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, it seemed that his thinking and intelligence had improved considerably.
Ye Fan and Guo Li exchanged a glance but said nothing. They simply walked toward the door.
……
In a courtyard near the Su Group, Xia Hao and Li Hu were holding Li Zhong and Qin Tao under control.
Li Zhong shouted angrily, clearly unwilling to accept his situation.
“Xia Hao! Li Hu! Do you two even have any respect for the law? You're restricting my freedom like this! You're violating my human rights! I'm going to sue you!”
Bang!
Li Hu had a short temper.
He swung the battle blade in his hand and slapped Li Zhong across the face with it.
“Mr. Li, you'd better understand your situation! If Young Master Ye weren't waiting for the information in your head, you'd have died hundreds of times over by now!”
The law?
Hmph!
When Li Zhong had gathered so many martial arts experts, assassins, and archers to surround the Su Group's product launch, why hadn't he thought about the law then?
If Li Zhong had won, would Ye Fan, Su Yixue, Li Hu, Xia Hao, and the others have gotten off safely?
“You…”
Li Zhong was about to continue arguing when Guo Li, Wang Fugui, and Ye Fan appeared at the entrance.
“Young Master Ye!”
Xia Hao and Li Hu respectfully greeted Ye Fan.
Ye Fan didn't respond.
Instead, he innocently grabbed a chair from beside him and smashed it against Li Zhong and Qin Tao several times.
“Bad guys! You're bad guys! You wanted to bully my wife! You deserve to be beaten…”
They had dared to attack the Su family so viciously.
If Ye Fan hadn't arranged for Xia Hao and Yu Linglong to prepare everything in advance, today's outcome could have been completely different.
They still hadn't discovered who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
But these trash who had rushed to the front had to pay first.
It was time to vent some anger and collect a little interest.
After Ye Fan finished venting, it was Guo Li's turn.
“Master Li, are you going to confess on your own, or should I use a little persuasion?”
Guo Li smiled as he casually twirled a dagger in his hand.
But there was something terrifying about that smile.
“I…”
Pfft!
Before Li Zhong could finish hesitating, the dagger in Guo Li's hand had already pierced into his chest.
“You people are truly detestable. You nearly wiped out my Big Brother's entire family. Dying would be too easy for you…”
Guo Li genuinely regarded Ye Fan as his Big Brother.
After learning that almost the entire Ye family had been wiped out, he had exploded with rage on the spot.
He had practically wanted to chop every one of their enemies into pieces.
“Ah…”
Li Zhong stared at Guo Li in terror.
He never would have imagined that Guo Li, who looked refined and scholarly and was known as “Scholar Guo,” could be so ruthless.
He had actually stabbed a huge hole straight through his chest!
As blood flowed from the wound, Li Zhong could feel the vitality draining rapidly from his body.
He was really going to be killed!
Li Zhong was absolutely certain that if he didn't say something, these people would really kill him.
“I'll talk… I'll talk!”
“This operation was ordered by Master Liu Ran of the provincial capital. I was only responsible for organizing and assisting! He was the one truly giving the orders. It was Qin Tao…”
“Damn it, Qin Tao! You got me killed! I'm going to fight you to the death!”
Thinking about his dead son and how he had now fallen into such a miserable situation himself, Li Zhong knew that the Li family would definitely cease to exist after today.
He had originally thought that by following the Liu family of the provincial capital, the Li family would be able to develop even further.
But now…
“Li Zhong, stop spouting nonsense!”
Qin Tao immediately cursed.
“What did we agree on before the operation? Are you stupid? Do you really think you'll survive just because you reveal the plan above?”
“Hmph… It's nothing more than death!”
“Even if we die, there will naturally be other people who will deal with the Ye family. They won't be able to survive for many days…”
“Ah!”
Before Qin Tao could finish speaking, Guo Li plunged his dagger directly into Qin Tao's chest as well, opening another deep wound.
“You're really noisy.”
Guo Li looked at him coldly.
“Don't worry. Once Li Zhong finishes confessing, you'll be next!”
He turned back toward Li Zhong.
“Continue!”
“I know they're planning another operation.”
“They previously wanted to stop Divine Doctor Lei from treating Young Master Ye.”
“After that, there was another plan. Someone important from above seemed to be planning to come personally and test Young Master Ye—to see whether he had actually awakened.”
“Also, the provincial capital will send other people here…”
Li Zhong spilled everything he knew like beans pouring from a broken container.
Although Ye Fan already knew some of this information, he hadn't expected the big figure behind Liu Ran to have become impatient enough to personally come to Yun City.
If they dared to come, Ye Fan would make sure they never left.
“Are we going to have guests?”
“Are they bad people? If they're bad people, just beat them to death…”
Ye Fan responded innocently.
Guo Li had to suppress his laughter as he glanced at Ye Fan.
His Big Brother really was an excellent actor.
“Li Zhong, you've gone crazy! You're really telling them everything?”
Qin Tao was practically losing his mind.
He had originally intended to take those secrets to his grave.
But Li Zhong had completely abandoned any sense of loyalty and revealed most of their secrets.
There was no point in keeping his own secrets anymore.
“So we're competing to see who's worse?”
“Fine, then let's see who can be more shameless!”
“I'll talk too!”
Qin Tao immediately began spilling his own information.
“I also know that there are two people who have been in contact with Liu Ran from above.”
“One is from the military, with the codename Lone Wolf.”
“The other is Young Master Zhou from Shangjing.”
“Besides wiping out the Ye family, they're also searching for something.”
“Apparently, that thing can rapidly increase a person's martial strength.”
“I don't know exactly what it is yet…”
Li Zhong and Qin Tao began competing with each other, throwing out every secret they knew.
Ye Fan, Guo Li, and the others simply watched the spectacle and listened to their confessions.
By now, Ye Fan had a rough understanding of the enemies' plans.
The young master coming from the provincial capital would be relatively easy to deal with.
But the big figure coming from the military…
Ye Fan had no idea how strong he was.
He would have to deal with him carefully.
If that person came, Ye Fan had to make sure he stayed here.
And, ideally, they couldn't let him suspect Ye Fan himself.
It looked like he would have to make some careful arrangements.
……
Northwest China.
Inside a secluded estate.
A huge screen mounted on the wall was broadcasting the live footage of the Su Group's product launch.
Everything about Li Zhong and the others' operation had been shown clearly.
Even after Li Zhong and the others were finally taken away, the old man beside the screen angrily switched it off.
“Is this the operation you arranged?”
“You allowed the Su Group to steal the spotlight, while the entire Li family was wiped out?”
“What kind of job did you do?”
“If this continues, what will everyone think of us?”
“They openly opposed us, yet suffered no losses at all. Not only that, they even held their product launch successfully and achieved tremendous success!”
“What the hell is going on?”
“Elder, please calm down!”
“It was my mistake. I didn't expect them to make such thorough preparations…”
“I'll personally go to Yun City immediately.”
“I'll find an opportunity to eliminate Ye Fan directly and get rid of this threat once and for all…”
