Chapter 1898


    Meanwhile, Mdm. Yue and her family''s lives were no longer in danger. They were currently


    recuperating at Livingsfill General Hospital.


    “Ye Fan, has everythinge to an end? Those thugs won''te and bother us again?” Yue


    Yingchun and Hu Yipeng were very doubtful upon hearing about the Meng family''s demise.


    After all, the Mengs were the richest family in Jiangbei.


    Their legacy had been going on for decades by then.


    In fact, almost all the businesses in Livingsfill were under the influence of the Meng family in some


    way.


    In the eyes of Hu Yipeng and the others, the Meng family was a mighty force.


    Naturally, they were in disbelief when Ye Fan told them that the Meng family had been destroyed,


    and the people of Jiangbei were free from their clutches forever.


    In response, Ye Fan merely shed a smile before switching on the television and tuning into the


    local


    Jiangbei station.


    At that moment, the television was showing the news.


    Meng Group is allegedly involved in Illegal trading. The authorities haveunched an


    investigationlAll their ounts and assets have been frozenlEven the esteemed members of the


    Meng family have been brought in by the police for questioningIThe head of the Meng family


    allegedlymitted suicide to escape punishment.


    The news about the Meng family broke.


    On the television screen, a pretty journalist was seen reporting the news with a microphone. Behind


    her, the women and kids of the Meng family were seen being led out of the Meng family manor by


    the police. Some of them were even in handcuffs when they were brought into the police cars.


    The news channel was publicly showing everyone how the richest family in Jiangbei had fallen.


    “l-lt''s real?” Hu Yipeng''s eyes widened in astonishment.


    At the same time, Yue Yingchun was also covering her mouth in bewilderment when she saw the


    news.


    They had all grown up in Livingsfill. Hence, they were aware of how influential the Meng family was


    in the world of businesses and politics.


    In fact, it wasn''t an exaggeration to say that the Meng family was the local tyrant.


    All those years, the Meng family was involved in countless unscrupulous crimes, especially Meng


    Chuan, who had harmed a lot of the local young girls.


    However, there wasn''t much anyone could do because the Meng family was that powerful. Even the


    local authorities had to rely upon the Meng family if they wished to have a smooth-sailing career.


    Hence, the people of Jiangbei had no choice but to put up with all the bullying actsmitted by


    the Meng family.


    Hu Yipeng and the others would have never expected that a family so powerful would tumble

    “All thanks to the government, the country, and the authorities!” At that moment, Hu Yipeng and his


    wife were crying tears of joy.


    All the grievances, fears, and anger bottled up in their hearts dissipated when they saw the fall of


    the Meng fa m i ly.


    Seeing that, Ye Fan smiled slightly and said, “There''s more toe! I told the government about


    what happened to you guys. The authorities told me that they''dpensate you guys by giving you


    a portion of the Meng family''s wealth. They''llpensate for your house, furniture, medical bills,


    and everything else. I''m sure they''ll send someone here to tell you guys in detail.”


    Upon hearing that, the couple was overwhelmed with excitement. “Quick, Ye Fan! Bring us to see


    the authorities. We have to thank them in person! They''ve saved all of us!”


    Prior to that, Hu Yipeng and his wife felt extremely hopeless. Not only was their home destroyed,


    but they also had no money to pay for the expensive medical bills.


    Suddenly, all their troubles had been resolved.


    At that moment, they finally saw the ray of hope.


    “Mr. Hu, Mdm. Yue, you guys can thank themter. You should focus on getting better first,” Ye Fan


    advised them.


    After the couple had settled down, they nced at Tangtang, whose face was covered with


    bandages, and the couple shed tears again in distress.


    The fire the Meng family set had caused severe burns on Tangtang''s skin.


    It was so bad that half of her face was severely burnt.


    Besides, the doctor told them she had no chance of full recovery. The most they could do was to


    lessen the scars on her face.


    That was a huge blow to Hu Yipeng and his wife.


    After all, Tangtang was still very young. Before she could even reach the age where looks mattered


    the most for a girl, she had already suffered such a predicament.


    “Who''d want to marry her in the future?” Yue Yingchun sobbed.


    “I''ll think of something, Mdm. Yue. A friend of mine is a highly skilled doctor. I''ll try my best to


    convince her to help Tangtang,” Ye Fanforted her.


    Then, he joked in an attempt to lighten the mood, “Moreover, even if she can''t heal Tangtang,


    doesn''t she have me? Tangtang said she''d marry me in the future, right?”


    Upon hearing that, YueYingchun and her husband chuckled in amusement.


    “You little rascal! Are you trying to rob the cradle?”


    In the afternoon, Yue Yingchun and her husband were brought away by the nurse to do their


    checkups.


    Hence, only Ye Fan and Tangtang were left in the ward.


    The child''s eyes were fixed on Ye Fan while she held tightly onto the hem of his shirt.


    It seemed that she could only use this way to calm herself.


    Ye Fan was sitting by the bed while peeling an orange for Tangtang.


    At the door to the ward, there were three people kneeling.


    It turned out that Lu Ziming, Zhang Jiuling, and


    Zhang Zixi, who were imprisoned by the Meng family, were kneeling outside the ward.


    They had regained some energy after a day of recovering, and the three of them came over to


    kneel before Ye Fan, albeit with their injuries.


    Besides wanting to thank Ye Fan for saving their lives, they were here to seek forgiveness from him.


    After all, they had failed to protect Ye Fan''s friends.


    “What''s going on, Ye Fan? Who are these three people?” Yue Yingchun and her husband had


    returned from their checkups. They were stumped when they saw the three people kneeling by the


    door.


    Ye Fan merely smiled and said, “Ignore them, Mdm. Yue. Would you and Mr. Hu like to have some


    oranges? I''ve peeled some for you guys.”


    Hepletely ignored the three people who were kneeling.


    Suddenly, a nurse was heard screaming, “Oh god! I-Isn''t he M-Mr. Lu?”


    Shortly after, the hospital''s directors rushed toward the scene.


    They were all shocked to see Lu Ziming there.


    “Mr. Lu, w-what are you doing?”


    “Please get up, Mr. Lu!”


    The hospital''s directors were utterly bewildered and courteously tried to help Lu Ziming up.


    Meanwhile, Yue Yingchun and her husband were puzzled by the scene. She then asked a nurse


    nearby about the person''s identity.


    “Madam, he''s the head of Lu n, Lu Ziming. He''s our hospital''s major shareholder,” the nurse


    replied.


    “What? L-Lu Ziming? The head of Lu n?” Hu Yipeng was stunned.


    Although it had been years since the downfall of the Lu n, they were once a force to be reckoned


    with. Despite their fall from grace, they were still considered a prominent family.


    Needless to say, they were considered very influential people in the eyes of Yue Yingchun and the


    rest.


    As such, Hu Yipeng and his wife hurriedly greeted Lu Ziming with respect and tried to help him up.


    However, Lu Zimingpletely disregarded them and continued kneeling on the same spot.


    Finally, underthe shocked gazes of Yue Yingchun and the others, Lu Ziming mmed his head onto


    the ground and said, “Mr. Chu, now that the Meng family has fallen, no one''s reigning over Jiangbei.


    Please, Mr. Chu. Please lead us and reign over Jiangbei. Lu n will follow all of your orders!”


    “I, Zhang Jiuling, promise to do the same!”


    “As do I, Zhang Zixi.”


    “Please, Mr. Chu. Please lead Jiangbei!” the three of them pleaded.


    At that moment, Zhang Jiuling and his granddaughter also had their heads glued to the ground.


    What? Z-Zhang Jiuling? The head of the Zhang family?


    Hu Yipeng couldn''t help but shudder upon hearing that name.


    The Zhang family was a secluded family in Jiangbei, and they were considered to be as powerful as


    the Meng family.


    Hu Yipeng was bewildered. Why is one of the most influential people of the older generation


    kneeling here and begging for someone else to reign over Jiangbei? What''s going on? Who is the


    formidable person these two are willing to serve?


    Seeing that the three of them were kneeling while facing Ye Fan, Yue Yingchun anxiously shouted


    at him, “Hey, Ye Fan! What are you doing there? Come over here quickly! Others might think you''re


    the person they''re begging!”


    Indeed, that was not a situation for amoner to be in.


    However, Ye Fan acted like he didn''t hear any of them.


    Instead, he was still sitting by the bed while feeding Tangtangoranges.


    He then blurted tly, “I''ve told you guys before. I''m not interested in reigning over Jiangbei. It just


    so happens that the people I care about are here. You guys should leave. Jiangbei should be


    reigned over by its own people.”
