Chapter 262 - Ye Fan Falls into a Trap

Zhao Tianya couldn’t help but feel a “thud” in her heart, knowing she had been too nice to Ye Fan, arousing Tantai Wanrong’s suspicions.

However, she immediately put on a smile and said, “Giggle, right, how could I not be thorough?

You personally asked for this watch for Xiao Fan.

Of course, I take your matters very seriously.”

Tantai Wanrong also felt a bit guilty, so she didn’t press further and smiled, “Hehe, thank you then.”

“You’re welcome, we’re besties after all,” Zhao Tianya chuckled.

Neither wanted to continue this topic, so they quickly switched to other subjects.

Ye Fan enjoyed this meal more than usual, not only because Tantai Wanrong had specially made rabbit meat and steamed sea bass for him, but mainly because Zhao Tianya hadn’t teased him on purpose.

After dinner, the four of them continued to sit in the living room, chatting, sipping tea, and eating fruit.

They all had a lively and enjoyable conversation.

Around nine in the evening, a mobile ringtone interrupted everyone’s cheerful exchange.

Tantai Wanrong, Zhao Tianya, and Qin Mengyao all looked towards Ye Fan simultaneously.

Ye Fan, feeling apologetic, quickly pulled out his phone and saw it was Zhao Lina’s call.

“Hehe, you guys continue, I’ll take this call on the balcony,” Ye Fan told the three women.

Tantai Wanrong nodded with an elegant smile, “Go ahead.”

Leaving the living room, Ye Fan walked to the balcony and answered Zhao Lina’s call.

“What took you so long?

What are you busy with?” Zhao Lina’s voice came through the phone.

Ye Fan replied with a light smile, “Not much.

Did you talk to your dad?”

“Yeah, I did.

My dad agreed right away.

He said he has been paying attention to the Green Wolf Gang, and it just so happened that someone mentioned them this morning,” Zhao Lina spoke, “With my dad personally taking action, no matter how strong the Green Wolf Gang’s backing or how complicated their relationships, we’re certain to take them down!”

“Thanks,” Ye Fan chuckled, “You didn’t mention me to your dad, right?”

“Look at what you’re saying,” Zhao Lina huffed, “Do you think I’m that foolish?”

Ye Fan laughed, “Hehe, hard to say, sometimes I think you’re pretty silly.”

“Get lost, I help you out, and this is how you thank me?

So ungrateful,” Zhao Lina retorted coquettishly.

After a pause, she continued, “But it won’t be so fast, probably need about a week or so.

The scope involved is quite broad.

The Green Wolf Gang controls assets worth no less than ten billion openly, and even more in secret.

So, you’ll have to put up with it for a while and avoid the Green Wolf’s edge.”

“Hehe, got it,” Ye Fan replied with a smile.

Zhao Lina added, “By the way, I’ve already confirmed with my parents that you’ll come over for dinner next week.

Don’t pretend to forget by the time next week rolls around.”

“I won’t forget,” Ye Fan chuckled.

After hanging up, Ye Fan returned to the living room and sat down.

But no sooner had he sat down, another call came in.

Seeing it was an unfamiliar number from Hua Hai, Ye Fan immediately pressed it off.

Unexpectedly, just as he put his phone back in his pocket, that unfamiliar number called again.

Just as Ye Fan was about to dismiss it, Tantai Wanrong said, “Take the call.”

“Hehe, actually, it’s a strange call from Hua Hai, most likely dialed by mistake,” Ye Fan said with a faint smile, but he still took the call as Tantai Wanrong suggested.

“Ye Fan, this is Liu Tianxi.

You ruined my Green Wolf Gang’s plans last night, do you dare to meet face to face at Red Star Old Shoe Factory on Yudai West Road in Xinyang District to clear things up?” Liu Tianxi’s voice sounded through the phone.

In a luxurious private room at the Emperor Wang Kai Club, after Liu Tianxi finished the call, he turned and asked Dong Ziqi, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed in meditation, “Mr.

Dong, are you sure Ye Fan will really show up?

This is a clear trap, and anyone who isn’t a fool wouldn’t fall for it.”

Dong Ziqi opened his eyes, and Liu Tianxi felt as if two beams of light burst forth, startling him.

“He’ll be able to,” Dong Ziqi said indifferently, rising to his feet.

Liu Tianxi immediately felt a powerful aura rush towards him, causing him to step back involuntarily.

Once Dong Ziqi stood up, he ignored Liu Tianxi and He Youchang, and walked towards the private room door at a steady pace, as if measuring his steps with a ruler.

“Have someone drive me to the agreed-upon place,” he said as he walked.

Liu Tianxi chuckled, “Haha, how can we send only one person with you?

Chang and I will, of course, have to be there in person to witness you unleash your power.”

“No, you cannot follow.

Also, the person you send can only stand outside; they cannot go into the old factory!” Dong Ziqi asserted in an uncompromising tone.

“This…

alright, everything will be as Mr.

Dong wishes,” Liu Tianxi agreed.

He Youchang turned to a cold-looking man with short hair, shrouded in a menacing aura, and said, “Ah Sheng, take Mr.

Dong to the Red Star Old Shoe Factory.”

“Yes, Brother Chang,” the man named Ah Sheng replied, and then walked to the private room door to open it for Dong Ziqi.

“What’s the matter, Ye Fan?” Tantai Wanrong noticed a change in Ye Fan’s expression and couldn’t help asking with concern.

Zhao Tianya and Qin Mengyao were also looking at Ye Fan.

As Ye Fan tucked away his phone, he replied with a calm smile, “It’s nothing.

A friend has an emergency and needs to see me right now.”

“Oh, then you should go.

It’s nine o’clock now,” Tantai Wanrong said.

“It’s getting late.”

“Mm, alright,” Ye Fan responded, standing up, and then said to Tantai Wanrong, “Aunt Tantai, I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Tantai Wanrong nodded.

Then, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment as he turned his gaze to Zhao Tianya and said, “… Aunt Tianya, goodbye.”

“Giggle, goodbye,” Zhao Tianya laughed.

Next, Tantai Wanrong asked Qin Mengyao to drive Ye Fan.

After they drove out of the Baiyun neighborhood, Ye Fan’s tiger-like eyes suddenly emitted an intimidating chill.

Liu Tianxi actually dared to provoke him over the phone!

Even knowing there was a trap, what of it?

Ye Fan, as a master of the dark energy, had never lacked the courage to tread knowingly into danger.

Besides, was he to fear a mere rabble?

In fact, a true martial arts master must possess a fierceness and a bold, fearless spirit; otherwise, no matter how much they trained, they would still be nothing more than a toothless tiger.

Thus, as a fellow martial arts master, Dong Ziqi was quite certain Ye Fan would fall for the trap.

Yudai Road in the Xinyang District wasn’t too far from the Baiyun neighborhood, with just a half-hour’s drive.

On the way, Ye Fan thought of Shi Sheng whom he had arranged to assassinate Liu Tianxi: “I wonder if Shi Sheng has tracked down Liu Tianxi’s movements, and whether he has followed him?”

He thought of calling Shi Sheng to ask, but he immediately stopped himself.

Assassinating Liu Tianxi – such tasks required undivided attention, especially the sudden receipt of a phone call.

At that moment, Shi Sheng and Lu Chengqiang were posing as customers, lying low in the Emperor Wang Kai Club.

When they saw Dong Ziqi leave, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

“If that middle-aged man had stayed with He Youchang and Liu Tianxi all night, our first task from Brother Ye might have ended in failure,” Shi Sheng whispered to Lu Chengqiang.

Lu Chengqiang nodded in agreement, “No matter what, he’s finally gone.

Let’s go, we’ll sneak in and take out He Youchang and Liu Tianxi together.”

Shi Sheng nodded, and together with Lu Chengqiang, they moved stealthily towards the private room where Liu Tianxi and He Youchang were situated.
