Chapter 54: Revenge Came This Quickly! They Want to Seize the Su Family Group?
In Yuncheng, by the time Guo Li, Ye Fan, Wang Fugui, and the others left and returned to the Su Corporation, the signing ceremony at the venue was almost finished.
Seeing Ye Fan return, Su Yixue immediately threw her arms around him affectionately.
“Husband! Thank you!”
Su Yixue couldn't be certain whether Ye Fan had truly awakened or was still in a foolish state, but there was one thing she was certain of.
The biggest reason the Su family's press conference had been successfully held today was definitely Ye Fan.
Although Wang Fugui, Guo Li, Yu Linglong, Doctor Lei, and the others had been the ones who came forward, would they have helped if Ye Fan hadn't been behind everything?
Hearing her call him “husband,” Ye Fan's heart couldn't help but twitch.
Could it be that this little Yixue has finally been completely won over by me?
“Hehe! Wife Yixue, you're my wife, after all. I promised Grandpa that I would protect all of you... I'll definitely work hard to get rid of those bad guys!”
As Ye Fan spoke, he glanced at Yu Linglong in the distance.
Yu Linglong looked at Ye Fan thoughtfully.
Thinking about Ye Fan's extraordinary constitution and how merely having intimate contact with him allowed her to enjoy the assistance of that warm energy in her cultivation, she found it simply unbelievable.
If Ye Fan had truly awakened and his monstrous talent had returned, just how terrifying would that be?
Breaking through to the Martial Venerable realm? Martial Emperor? Perhaps even reaching the level of a Martial Saint wasn't impossible!
At that time, who could possibly stop the Qilin Son of the Ye family?
Moreover, as the Great Xia Medical Saint, Lei Qianjue's words yesterday had made Yu Linglong somewhat suspicious.
Lei Qianjue had always been extremely cautious and precise. He would never give ambiguous information.
Yet when he talked about Ye Fan's condition, he had been rather vague. He only said that Ye Fan had a possibility of awakening, but he didn't mention exactly when.
According to Lei Qianjue's usual style, it should either be possible for Ye Fan to awaken or impossible.
So why had he been so vague?
Unless... someone far more powerful had instructed him to deliberately say that?
Thinking of this, Yu Linglong's eyes became sharp as she looked toward Ye Fan.
Could it be that my husband has really awakened?
Yu Linglong had heard that five years ago, Ye Fan had already become famous throughout Southwest China as a young medical genius.
It was said that his medical skills had already surpassed Lei Qianjue's.
If Ye Fan had truly awakened and had used his medical abilities to completely win Lei Qianjue over, then it was entirely possible that Lei Qianjue was helping him conceal certain truths.
As one of Great Xia's three-star female Valkyries, Yu Linglong wasn't merely incredibly powerful in combat. Her intelligence was exceptional as well.
After putting all the clues together and making some deductions, she had actually already figured out roughly 70 to 80 percent of the truth.
Feeling Yu Linglong's gaze, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat.
My first wife isn't so easy to fool either.
Looks like I'll have to restrain myself a little when I'm around Yu Linglong from now on.
Otherwise, if Yu Linglong discovers that I'm no longer a fool, will she still marry me?
“Everyone, seniors and friends, I sincerely thank all of you for helping us today and making the Su Corporation's press conference a success!”
“It is also lunchtime now. I've already arranged a banquet, so please stay and have a simple meal with us!”
Su Yixue enthusiastically greeted everyone.
Su Honghai and Su Minghao, seeing so many influential figures gathered together, didn't even know how they should greet them. They could only keep smiling foolishly.
They themselves didn't know whether the Su family's current decision was right or wrong.
By becoming so deeply tied to the Ye family, the Ye family's enemies would certainly retaliate.
They just hadn't expected the other side to act so quickly.
Su Yixue was greeting everyone at the venue. Just as she was preparing to leave the Su Corporation, a sudden series of police sirens rang out from outside the building.
A group of uniformed personnel quickly rushed into the premises.
“Sorry... We've received a report that your company is illegally collecting funds and is also suspected of false advertising and selling fake medicine. We need the person in charge to come with us for an investigation.”
“In addition, the company's funds have been legally frozen. Once the investigation is completed, they will be unfrozen immediately.”
This operation was a joint action by the police, the drug administration authorities, and the law-enforcement team.
Boom!
The sudden announcement struck everyone like a bolt from the blue.
“Officer, have you made a mistake? Our Su Corporation is conducting completely normal business activities! How could we possibly be suspected of illegally collecting funds? That money was simply deposits paid by customers for their orders...”
Su Yixue was almost in tears.
The new medicine press conference had gone successfully today. She had also secured so many new distributors and received such a huge amount of funding.
She had been extremely happy because expanding production was now completely within reach.
Hundreds of billions would be enough for her to accomplish so many things!
But now, so many uniformed personnel had suddenly come to seal the company, and the company's accounts had been frozen.
What was she supposed to do?
Not only would production be delayed, but once this news spread, it would be a devastating blow to the Su Corporation.
Would those martial-arts businesses that wanted to cooperate with the Su Corporation still dare to do business with them?
The officer in charge looked at Su Yixue somewhat helplessly.
“Miss Su, there's nothing we can do. We're only carrying out orders.”
In fact, everyone knew that this wasn't really about the Su Corporation itself.
It was another wave of the ongoing struggle between the Ye family and their enemies.
Otherwise, who would suddenly investigate a commercial corporation for no reason, and act so quickly?
“You...”
Su Yixue was about to continue speaking when Ye Fan gave Guo Li a meaningful glance.
Guo Li immediately stepped forward.
“Sister-in-law, don't worry. It's fine! They're only conducting an investigation. Let them investigate. With us here, nothing will happen to the Su Corporation!”
Ye Fan and Guo Li both understood that these low-level officials were merely the people sent to carry out orders.
If they wanted to resolve the current problem, they had to find the key person behind all of this.
“Miss Su, please cooperate with us and have the company's core members come with us for questioning.”
The officer leading the team was also in a difficult position.
But there were orders from above, and there was nothing he could do except carry them out.
They wanted to take Su Yixue away?
Guo Li frowned and turned to look at Ye Fan.
This is going too far.
How could Big Brother possibly tolerate this?
“Outrageous!”
Yu Linglong was furious as well.
“What do you mean by this? In broad daylight, you dare to arrest people without reason? I'm right here. Go ahead and try to take even one person!”
With a wave of Yu Linglong's hand, several of her subordinates immediately surrounded her.
They drew their guns.
Swish! Swish!
The uniformed personnel who had arrived were also prepared.
They immediately pulled out their own weapons.
The two sides instantly entered a standoff.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense, and a major battle seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
Everyone understood how serious the situation was.
If it were only the company's accounts being frozen, there would still be a chance for the Su Corporation to recover later.
But if Su Yixue herself were taken away, it would become extremely difficult for the Su Corporation to regain its commercial credibility afterward.
That would essentially mean that the Ye family's confrontation with their enemies had failed.
Ye Fan frowned and thought carefully.
He actually had many ways to deal with the situation.
He possessed the authority of the Heavenly King of the Xuanwu War Zone, as well as the power behind the Tianji Pavilion, which had not yet been activated.
Either one of these forces would be more than enough to make the people behind this operation bow their heads.
But if he revealed those trump cards too early, the people who were truly targeting the Ye family would probably become too frightened to show themselves.
“What's going on? What's going on?”
While Ye Fan was still thinking, several military trucks suddenly stopped outside the gates of the Su Corporation.
A reinforced company of soldiers in camouflage uniforms jumped down from the trucks.
Every one of them was fully armed.
Leading them was Major Guo Fei.
He had been taking his troops on a patrol and training exercise. When they happened to pass by the Su Corporation, he saw Ye Fan surrounded by a group of people.
He immediately led his men over.
In the blink of an eye, they surrounded the uniformed personnel instead.
“They're bad guys! They want to take my wife away!”
When Ye Fan saw Guo Fei, his eyes immediately lit up.
He quickly called out to him.
Yesterday, when Ye Fan had saved Xuan Yufei's father at the hospital, Guo Fei had recognized the Xuanwu Heavenly King's token Ye Fan possessed.
Although Guo Fei was only a major and couldn't interfere with everything, protecting Su Yixue and the others from being taken away should still be within his power.
