Chapter 1832
“Oh? Sir, may I know who you are? Are you Ye Fan''s dad?”
Ye Qingtian felt nostalgic when he saw the scenery on Mount Yunding.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie walked up to Mount Yunding with some flowers and bottles
of wine. Once they reached the peak, they saw Ye Qingtian drinking alone, and his eyes were
bloodshot.
Evidently, they did not know who Ye Qingtian was.
Since the man before them seemed to be advanced in age and dejected, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie
assumed that he was Ye Fan''s father.
As soon as they said it, Ye Qingtian''s expression turned grim. “I''m not his father. Don''t spout
nonsense.”
In the beginning, Ye Qingtian only treated Ye Fan as a youngling.
As Ye Fan became increasingly well-known in the martial arts world and demonstrated incredible
power, Ye Qingtian regarded Ye Fan as his equal.
To be exact, they had even be good friends.
Hence, Ye Qingtian was rendered speechless when the two young men thought he was Ye Fan''s
father.
“Oh, is that so? In that case, we''re sorry for our mistake.”
At that moment, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie were overwhelmed with awkwardness.
Although Shen Fei and Han Shaojie had known Ye Fan for a long time, they had never met his
father.
All they knew was that Ye Fan''s mother lived in Jingzhou.
When they saw him sitting dejectedly in front of Ye Fan''s tomb, the first thing that shed across
their minds was that he was Ye Fan''s father.
After a short conversation, they finally realized that Ye Qingtian was Ye Fan''s friend.
“Ye Fan, it has been a year. We''re here to visit you.”
With that, Shen Fei and Han Shaojie sat down.
After putting the flowers at Ye Fan''s tomb, they opened a bottle of wine and poured four sses.
They handed a ss to Ye Qingtian and left thest one at Ye Fan''s tomb.
“Huh... Ye Fan, many of us took it for granted when you were still here. We only realized how
important you were to Jiangdong after you left us.” Shen Fei heaved a sigh and spoke while tears
uncontrobly fell down his face.
At that time, Shen Fei''s eyes had turned red. He lifted his ss of wine and gulped it down.
“Ye Fan, you might not know that although it has only been a year, Jiangdong has changed a lot.
Everything is different now. Mufan Group that you founded is on the brink of shutting down. Only a
few people of yours are trying hard to sustain it. Also, Ms. Qiu and your mom have left Jiangdong
and might not visit you on your death anniversary. You did not fail your friends, subordinates, and
the world. However, the only regret you had was with your family.”
Shen Fei added, “You brought it upon yourself by making Ms. Qiu and your mom mad at you. Why
did you decide to go up against such a powerful force? Because of that, your family, career, and
Jiangdong were destroyed. After returning to Jiangdong, Mr. Lei always stays in his room to drink
his sorrow away. Li Er onlyes back to Jiangdong once in a few months. Chen Ao has retired,
whereas Wang Jiexi is bedridden due to severe illness. The famous elders, who used to work with
you, have turned a blind eye to Jiangdong. Now, different people are at the helm of Jiangdong.”
Feeling dejected, Shen Fei continued, “Despite the pressure from the new king, the Shen family
could initially sustain itself with the protection given by Shaojie''s father. However, a few months ago,
Shaojie''s father and He Lanshan were transferred to different ces. s, I''m afraid most of the
influential families in Jiangdong don''t remember Mr. Chu anymore.”
A new leader would always start with a new team.
Ye Fan''s demise had brought about a dramatic transformation to the power structure of Jiangdong.
Back then, when something happened to Ye Fan several times, the power structure of Jiangdong
remained steady because Qiu Mucheng, Ye Ximei, and Ye Fan''s close rtives were there.
Moreover, Li Er, Lei San, and the elders who worked with Ye Fan could serve him anytime.
While the presence of Ye Fan''s family could boost the people''s morale, the elders could crush
troublemakers to maintain peace in Jiangdong.
After Ye Fan passed away, his wife and mother eventually left Jiangdong.
After all, since Ye Fan didn''t have children, he couldn''t pass his throne in Jiangdong to his
descendants.
If Li Er and the elders were still dedicated, they had the means to stabilize the situation in
Jiangdong even though Ye Fan''s wife wasn''t there to calm everyone down.
Nheless, Li Er, Chen Ao, and the others were crestfallen when Ye Fanmitted suicide to
protect everyone, including his subordinates.
The tragedy was over, yet those who stayed alive were tortured deep down.
After the funeral waspleted a year ago, Li Er, Lei San, and others could hardly sleep for many
nights.
Once they closed their eyes, the images of Ye Fan''s body being pierced and the pool of blood on
the ground would sh through their minds.
Tears streamed down their faces when they opened their eyes.
Under such a bad psychological state, they could hardly be in charge of the affairs in Jiangdong.
While Lei San numbed himself with alcohol, Li Er held on to hisst hope to go around the world to
find Ye Fan.
Li Er wished to find Ye Fan''s body, which was taken away by the mysterious man after he died.
However, because Li Er and other elders chose not to be involved in the affairs of Jiangdong,
someone else grabbed the chance to take charge.
Besides, those who Ye Fan trusted were all gotten rid of with no exception.
For instance, Shen Group, which was owned by the family of Shen Fei''s father, had fallen, just like
Mufan Group.
Furthermore, Shen Fei''s father was sidelined by the businessmen in Jiangdong.
In the early days, Shen Fei could live afortable life with the help of Ye Fan, Han Dongmin, and
He
Lanshan.
Currently, all Ye Fan''srades were transferred to different ces.
For instance, He Lanshan, Han Dongmin, and Lu Tianhe rose through the ranks because Ye Fan
supported them. With Ye Fan gone, they were transferred from Jiangdongto some second-rate
departments to work until retirement.

As such, Jiangdong, which Ye Fan built, had copsed within a year.
Nevertheless, many had predicted it before it happened.
Given that Ye Fan was overly influential in Jiangdong, the higher-ups in Yanjing saw him as a threat.
After Ye Fan passed away, they would resort to different means to reduce his influence as much as
possible, hoping to restore Jiangdong to how it used to be.
Shen Fei and the rest had anticipated it long before the higher-ups in Yanjing took action.
However, they still couldn''t help but sigh at how unfeeling the higher-ups were.
Shen Fei gulped down several sses of wine when he brought up some of the sorrowful
memories.
Meanwhile, Han Shaojie also kept Shen Feipany to drown their sorrows.
As Ye Qingtian looked at them silently, his emotions were all over the ce.
“Ah... Ye Fan, I can''t stay in Jiangdong any longer. Shaojie and I have decided to carve out a new
path for ourselves in Jiangnan after today. Even Chu Wenfei, who used to be a nobody, can achieve
something. I''m sure both of us can be sessful if we try. However, we''re only worried that no one
will take the time to sweep your tomb.”
After wiping his tears away, Shen Fei grabbed the bottle of wine and gulped it down.
“Sir, we have to go. Since we''re leaving Jiangdong tomorrow, we still have to visit some old friends.
Pleasee more often to keep Ye Fanpany when you''re free.”
Shen Fei waved Ye Qingtian goodbye and asked him to visit Ye Fan''s tomb more often.
“God d*mn the martial arts world of China! Ye Fan wouldn''t havemitted suicide if those from
War God Castle didn''t retreat. Also, we wouldn''t have to leave our hometown!”
Shen Fei let out a string of curses as they walked down Mount Yunding.
After that, they hopped into a ck car and left.
