Chapter 174 You're Screwed!
Find your next adventure on empire
Ye Fan was also puzzled, "My second brother... he..."
Ye Fan took out his cellphone and flipped through it, only to find there were no pictures of his second brother, "I'll show you when I find one!"
Ye Fan put away his phone just as Guo Li brought the car around.
Just as Ye Fan and Qiu Wan were about to get into the car, Xu Hai suddenly came out, "Young Master Ye, how should we handle Miss Eiko..."
Xu Hai was somewhat unsure of Ye Fan's intentions now. After all, Ye Fan had "interrogated" Yamada Eiko for so long inside, and he wasn't sure if feelings had developed over time!
Now that Ye Fan had been confirmed as the Young Master of Tianji Pavilion, he would naturally have to be discreet in his dealings with the women around him.
Ye Fan's mouth curved slightly—since Yamada Eiko was a descendant from one of his mother's maids, and she kept calling him 'master' so persistently, naturally, killing Yamada Eiko was out of the question.
"Let her be," Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
Yamada Eiko had divulged so many secrets about the Black Clothes Society and the royal family this time; Dongying would definitely suspect her. However, Ye Fan had given her an Elixir Pill, and she should be able to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm soon enough—at least she would have the ability to protect herself.
"Okay!"
After Ye Fan had left, Xu Hai pondered over Ye Fan's words, "Let her be?"
It seemed that in the future, Miss Yamada Eiko might become very close to the Young Master.
Xu Hai had been so harsh to Miss Yamada just now!
Ah!
"Someone, set up a guard outside Miss Yamada Eiko's place. Fulfill any of Miss Yamada's requests at any time!"
...
Ye Fan had sent Qiu Wan back to the villa, where Guo Li had already taken care of all the ownership transfer procedures. The daughter, Xiao Xiao, had also been enrolled in the best nearby kindergarten!
Qiu Wan stared at the property deed in her hands, somewhat stunned, "Xiao Fan, I... really..."
Ye Fan had given her a villa worth tens of millions just like that, and even arranged for her to work at Nether Group, taking up the significant role of Chief Financial Officer, with an annual salary of five million.
She was just a housewife!
Thinking back on the hard times she had endured, Qiu Wan's eyes reddened, "Xiao Fan, how about we go upstairs?"
As she spoke, Qiu Wan's cheeks flushed with color.
Qiu Wan couldn't understand why she, a wilted flower, was valued so highly by Ye Fan. Ye Fan had done so much for her, and there was little else she could do for Ye Fan except to spend more time with him.
"What's upstairs?" Ye Fan looked at Qiu Wan in his arms, her face so red it seemed almost ripe, deliberately teasing her.
"Ah! Xiao Fan... you're so naughty..." Qiu Wan wriggled in Ye Fan's embrace, letting out a coquettish protest, and lightly punched him on the chest.
What Qiu Wan meant could not have been clearer.
Of course, Ye Fan knew what Qiu Wan was thinking, but he also knew that even though Qiu Wan had an Innate Taoist Body and a Cauldron physique, she was still just an ordinary woman.
If Ye Fan continued to exhaust Qiu Wan like this, she might collapse.
Besides, Ye Fan had already gained tremendous benefits from Qiu Wan's Cauldron physique; his strength had increased to above that of a Martial Emperor Sixth Rank, his body had reached its limit in what it could bear, and it was unlikely he could continue to advance in a short period.
"Just kidding!" Ye Fan teased with a wicked smile, slapping Qiu Wan's bottom, "I've got other things to take care of today!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but think of Qing Ruolan's eyes from yesterday, which seemed almost dripping with moisture!
Qing Ruolan had even mentioned the night before that she would give him a surprise, and naturally, Ye Fan knew exactly what she meant.
However, last night, while Ye Fan was pursuing leads in the slums, he unexpectedly encountered Qiu Wan, which was essentially Ye Fan being intercepted by Qiu Wan.
Although Ye Fan is still outwardly playing the fool, he vividly remembers the kindness his seven sisters-in-law have shown him. Even as an idiot, he wouldn't want Wife Ruolan to be aggrieved.
Comforting her today was inevitable!
...
Inside the Qing Family Courtyard!
Qing Ruolan was standing with a stick at the gate, blocking her brother Qing Shaocheng, "Qing Shaocheng, do you have no conscience? After causing such a big disaster yesterday, you still think of going out to drink with your rowdy friends today? What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Sis, wasn't yesterday's mess sorted out? With brother-in-law so formidable, Shen Xiao even fell at his hands, isn't everything alright now? I've already made plans with a few friends, it wouldn't be right not to go!" Qing Shaocheng was stubborn and kept probing, trying to slip past Qing Ruolan.
Qing Shaocheng had been especially mischievous since he was little, and their parents just couldn't control him.
Only Qing Ruolan could manage him slightly, but as Qing Shaocheng grew older, he started listening to his sister less and less.
"You... you're going to drive me to my death..."
Seizing the moment Qing Ruolan was angered, Qing Shaocheng sprang on his heels and dashed past her towards the gate, "Sis, I'm off! Remember to transfer a million to me for pocket money!"
Qing Ruolan was almost driven to tears, everything in the Qing Family was developing well, but why did they have to have such a disgraceful descendant. Now their parents couldn't handle him, and even she couldn't control him anymore. How could they entrust the enormous family business to him in the future?
Just as Qing Ruolan was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode, she suddenly noticed that Qing Shaocheng, who had just charged out, was thrown back in as if he was a small chicken being grabbed.
Huh?
Qing Ruolan was curious, within the Qing Family, Qing Shaocheng was the Chaos Demon King, who else would have the guts to lay hands on Qing Shaocheng?
"Xiao Fan, you're back?" Qing Ruolan looked up towards the outside, just in time to see Ye Fan stepping into the courtyard, "How was meeting your friend yesterday?"
As Qing Ruolan spoke, she glanced at Guo Li behind Ye Fan.
Qing Ruolan felt that Ye Fan's actions the previous night were a bit odd, but since Guo Li had even made a special call to report, she didn't feel it was her place to say much.
"The chat went not too bad!" Ye Fan responded with a bit of guilt.
Qing Shaocheng sat on the ground, his buttocks nearly bruised from the fall, "Brother-in-law... what's going on? I just wanted to go out for drinks with the boys, why is that not allowed?"
"No worries, I'll take care of your social engagement later! But for now, you need to do something else..." Ye Fan said with a mischievous smile, moving forward to grab Qing Shaocheng by the shoulder. He activated the Qi Force of the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand, releasing his powerful spiritual power into Qing Shaocheng's head.
Of course, Ye Fan wasn't using the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand to coerce a confession, but rather to construct an illusion in Qing Shaocheng's mind!
Qing Shaocheng actually had good potential, whether in cultivation or in business management, he was quite talented!
But it was just that he had been living too comfortably since childhood, never suffered hardships, nor faced any setbacks. As a result, his innate potential had not been stimulated, and mentally, he hadn't matured...
So, Ye Fan constructed a tragic scenario in Qing Shaocheng's mind where the Qing Family was suppressed, completely bankrupted, liquidated... and all of the family members were even bloodily massacred...
