This didn''t mean they were loyal to Ye Fan. Instead, they were simply afraid of him.


    Ye Fan had already gone through situations that should have resulted in his death so many times.


    During thest crisis in Jiangdong, two of Yanjing''s elite families had taken over the city.


    Almost all the powers in Jiangdong thought Ye Fan was dead.


    The King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, betrayed him, and Mufan Group changed ownership.


    Ye Fan''s family was even prepared to run.


    Everyone thought Mr Chu''s era was over.


    Jiangdong was waiting to wee new powers.


    But look what happened in the end?


    Ye Fan ended up returning triumphantly at thest moment.


    He killed the sons hailing from the two Yanjing elite families to make an example of them and make everyone bow to him.


    Even Chen Ao, the longtime King of Jiangdong, and Ye Fan''s right-hand man, was punished severely by Ye Fan.


    He took away all that Chen Ao had worked all his life to aplish and banished Chen Ao from Jiangdong forever.


    Since they had witnessed first-hand what would be of them if they betrayed Ye Fan, the powers of Jiangdong refused to


    believe Lv Hua''s one-sided story of Ye Fan''s death and switch sides.


    After Lv Hua''s ns failed, he had no choice but to work on Ye Fan''s closest kin.


    He felt that if Qiu Mu-Cheng caved in or died, he could take over Mufan Group easily with no one at the helm.


    Despite Lv Hua''s calcted ns, he hadn''t expected the army to get involved.


    Since the army was controlled by the government, there was some degree of ovep with the martial arts circle.


    Regardless of Lv Hua''s audacity, he didn''t dare to kill someone in a military camp.


    He couldn''t do it openly, so he had to deal with it secretly.


    He had told his family to use their connections with the government to pressurize Lu Tian-He or iste him.


    Once someone else took over as Jiangdong''s armymander, Qiu Mu-Cheng would lose her protection.


    When the time came, he could do anything he liked with Ye Fan''s widow!


    "Young Master, don''t worry. After the banquet is over, the Lv family''s reputation will rise. All the powers of Yanjing will obediently


    bow to us, never mind one tiny Mufan Group," consoled the chauffeur when he noticed how unhappy Lv Hua was.


    Lv Hua nodded. "That''s true. After this celebration, our family''s powers will not be limited to a small location. Instead, we will hold


    sway over the entire country as the top martial arts family in the martial arts circle. In time, | will have control over Qiu Mu-Cheng


    just like how | can easily quash an ant.”


    Lv Hua couldn''t help smiling smugly as he thought about this.


    HUuu!


    The car wheels turned as the wind outside shattered.


    Lv Hua sat in his posh car as he headed to Lin''an at top speed with the sun shining brightly outside.


    Lv Hua was still clueless about Ye Fan''s return.


    Other than Ye Fan''s close family and friends, the entire Chinese martial arts circle had no idea that the man who caused such a


    huge sensation half a year ago was back.


    Lin''an was an ancient city and had over 2,000 years of history ever since it was established in the Qin dynasty.


    In ancient times, it was once a part of the kingdom of Wuyue andter, part of the Song dynasty. It was renowned for its fine


    scenery and was known as heaven on earth. Countless tourists came to visit because of its fame.


    Alot of lovers came to West Lake to take pictures.


    It happened to be a public holiday, so the streets were more crowded than usual.


    Tourists from all over the country could be seen on the streets of Lin''an.


    "So this is the famous Lin‘an! I''m finally here. | wanted to travel to Lin''an when | graduated, but many things cropped up, so |


    didn''t manage toe. Now my wish has finallye true. Wen-Fei, it''s all thanks to you that | got toe to Lin‘an.”


    Brightughter came from the street corner up ahead.


    Four people happily bantered while they traveled together.


    Two of them seemed like lovers and were wearing matching caps, jackets, and even identical phone cases.


    The other two people in the group consisted of a charming young woman and a dashing man. They certainly made a picture-


    perfect couple.


    Among the group, two of them knew Ye Fan.


    One of them was none other than Ye Fan''s old adversary, Chu Wen-Fei.


    The other was He Yu-Rou, who had the chance to see Ye Fan once in Fenghai.


    Strictly speaking, He Yu-Rou had merely caught a glimpse of Ye Fan at Dongchang Lake, but Ye Fan didn''t know her at all.


    "Oh yes, Wen-Fei. | forgot to ask, have you


    really broken up with Xiuxiu?"


    The woman talking was Zhang Xin-Yu and was close friends with He Yu-Rou.


    Chu Wen-Fei had managed to invite He Yu-Rou out on this trip purely thanks to Zhang Xin-Yu.


    Otherwise, there was no way he could have convinced He Yu-Rou to visit Lin''an with him considering their ties.


    The other young man was Zhang Xin-Yu''s husband, Yang Zi-Jiang.


    They were all university ssmates, along with Chu Wen-Fei''s ex-fiancee, Tian Xiu-Xiu.


    Also, Yang Zi-Jiang was Chu Wen-Fei''s roommate and they even shared a bunk bed, so they were exceptionally close.


    After graduation, they didn''t stay in touch as often as they liked.


    Now they could take the opportunity to catch up.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
