"Big brother, I was sent abroad by my dad for studies, and I only found out about the Ye Family''s situation yesterday! I''m sorry... Big brother, you have no idea, during these years I''ve been away, my yearning for big brother has been like the surging rivers, endless and strong..."


    As Guo Li spoke, he charged onto the stage, grabbing onto Ye Fan with both hands and continued, "Big brother, after not seeing you for several years, I''ve found you''ve be even more handsome and dashing! Haha, honestly, has sister-inw been taking good care of you?"


    Guo Li didn''t hold back at all as he teased Su Yixue yfully on the side.


    "You dead thing, looking for a beating!"


    Su Yixue''s face turned red with embarrassment at Guo Li''s words, she was familiar with him too.


    Although Guo Li''s family was in the Provincial City, five years ago, Guo Li would hang around Ye Fan daily, alongside Wang Fugui.


    One skilled in letters, the other in martial arts, they were known as the Generals Heng and Ha!


    Wang Fugui was the martial one, while Guo Li, with his outstanding intellect, was responsible for strategy and nning.


    Paired with Ye Fan''s monstrous talent, the trio''s notoriety as the three stooges echoed throughout Tiannan Province and even the Southwest.


    However,ter on, Ye Fan had an ident which caused him to be mentally challenged, and Guo Li was sent abroad to study for a time, causing the trio''s alliance to pause temporarily.


    But their feelings for each other never faded!


    "Damn! Schr Guo, could you not be so shameless? You always like to steal my thunder... Big brother''s charm and dashing appearance, does it need your words to describe? Let me tell you, when I took big brother to Lichun Courtyard, those girls fell over themselves to get close..."


    Seeing his two buddies start to squabble upon reuniting, Ye Fan felt a bit of a headacheing on and couldn''t help but frown!


    These two brothers were great in all aspects, except for theirpetition in ttery, both trying to outdo the other!


    "Eh?" Although Ye Fan simply furrowed his brow, Guo Li immediately picked up on the change in Ye Fan''s mood, "Big brother, you... are you faking it?"


    The volume of Guo Li''s voice was quite loud at the beginning of his statement, but it dropped significantly toward the end, as he looked around cautiously.


    This was what set Guo Li apart from Wang Fugui. Guo Li was much more cerebral, quickly guessing most of Ye Fan''s n upon seeing his reaction, and he even knew to keep it a secret.


    Ye Fan''s lips twitched slightly. With Guo Li''s intellect, keeping him in the dark would be quite difficult.


    Given that, when the opportunity was right, it would be better to be upfront with Guo Li.


    After all, many of Ye Fan''s future ns still needed someone to carry them out. With only Xia Hao, there was a lot that couldn''t be aplished. However, this brother who had been through life and death with him, Guo Li, was the best choice because of his ability to oversee the whole picture.


    Noticing a slight twitch of Ye Fan''s eyebrow, Guo Li instantly knew better than to press further and took the microphone from Su Yixue''s hand, loudly proiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, today you have all seen the effects of the Su Family''s Snow Beauty Cream. Those who want to cooperate should seize the opportunity to sign up right away. Firste, first served. Miss this vige, there won''t be another shop like this, buying is earning..."


    Guo Li was the kind of person who naturally excelled at socializing, a master at engaging people around him. With just a few words, he stirred up the emotions of the audience.


    As for the merchants arranged by Li Zhong and Qin Tao, they had been beaten to the point where they were barely human and couldn''t make any noise at all.


    In an instant, the situation at the venue hadpletely shifted in favor of the Su Family.


    Ye Fan nodded to himself in satisfaction. With Guo Li helping to control the overall situation, he could save himself a lot of trouble.


    "Everyone line up, line up to pay the deposit!"


    The entireunch event, under Ye Fan''s nning and with the disruption by Lei Qianjue, Guo Li, and others, was perfectly conducted.


    Li Zhong''s and Qin Tao''s npletely fell apart, and instead, some of the channel distributors who had originally cooperated with the Li Family turned to join the Su Family''s embrace.


    "Patriarch of the Li Family, what''s the meaning of this? Do you still think you haven''t lost enough face and n to continue waiting here for the New Year?" Guo Li looked at Li Zhong, who was still dazed below, and chastised him coldly, "If it were me, I would have already found a piece of tofu to smash my head against, my own son yed to death by me, and still here losing face..."


    Guo Li was deliberately poking at Li Zhong''s sore spot. Li Zhong''s face turned iron blue with rage, "Guo Li, you dog! Don''t think that just because you''re from the Provincial City''s Guo Family, I''ll be afraid of you! Hmph! Everyone, get ready to move..."


    Whoosh!


    Following Li Zhong''s shout, hundreds of burly men dragging battle sabers, steel rods, and other weapons suddenly surged out from around the venue, encircling the entire venue.


    "All of you, stop right there, let''s see who dares to sign a contract with the Su Family today!" Li Zhong shouted coldly, and from behind those burly men, another group of archers emerged, their crossbow arrows locking onto thepany representatives and bosses present.


    "Li Zhong, what do you mean by this?" Su Honghai, seeing the situation unfold before him, jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly at Li Zhong.


    If they couldn''t beat the Su Family throughmercial means, were they now resorting to this shady tactic? nning to use force to forcibly hinder the development of the Su Family?


    "Hmph! What do I mean, isn''t it obvious? Your Su Family has been getting too close to the Ye Family, this is the punishment from above for your Su Family!" Li Zhong, seeing his arranged killers rxing him slightly, a hint of smugness appeared on his face, "Now, your Su Family has two choices, continue to side with the Ye Family, and today will be the day your Su Family is wiped out!"


    "Otherwise, hand over Ye Fan, ept our Li Group''s acquisition, and your Su Corporation can continue to exist! As for the price, I''ve already mentioned, 2.5 million..."


    Li Zhong''s face was filled with a cold sneer; his ambition was great, having taken action today, he intended to capture Ye Fan and directly kill him.


    Yesterday, Li Yunyang suddenly died at the engagement banquet, and although there was no evidence, Li Zhong always felt that Li Yunyang''s death was inseparably linked to Ye Fan; therefore, killing Ye Fan would be revenging his son.


    "In your dreams!" Su Yixue blocked in front of Ye Fan, "Li Zhong, you are too despicable, if you want to harm Ye Fan, you''ll have to step over my dead body first."


    Su Yixue was resolute. Now being Ye Fan''s woman, she had promised the Old Master Ye to protect Ye Fan at all costs; if Ye Fan got hurt by her side, how could she exin it to Sister Linglong?


    Sister Linglong, huh? Where did she go?


    Su Yixue suddenly realized that Yu Linglong should also be at the venue, but at the moment, Yu Linglong''s figure was nowhere to be seen. Where had she gone?


    "Su Yixue, you still think you''re that high and mighty princess? You filthy whore..." Li Zhong, recalling how Su Yixue had just made him lose face, and how Ye Fan had shed such a huge gash in his arm, his face revealed a sinister shade, and he raised his hand to p Su Yixue across the face.


    Boom!


    But before Li Zhong could swing his hand, Ye Fan suddenly lifted a chair next to him and smashed it down hard on Li Zhong''s head, "You old bastard... Whoever dares to hurt my wife, I''ll fight them to the death..."


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    There and then, Ye Fan swung the chair earnestly, without any reservation, one hit after another, fiercely cracking it open on Li Zhong''s head!


    Li Zhong was so dazed that he saw stars, his head cracked, and he stumbled several times, swaying and falling towards the ground, "You damn fool... What the hell..."


    By Li Zhong''s side, Qin Tao, who had recovered, looked angrily at the situation unfolding before him, and scolded the surrounding burly men, "What are you standing there dumbfounded for? Do something, take down everyone from the Su Family!"
