Chapter 431 - The Crisis is Not Over
Chapter 431 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" opens presenting key developments: It was two oâclock in the morning when Ye Fan returned to the Dingsheng International... Read on!
It was two oâclock in the morning when Ye Fan returned to the Dingsheng International Hotel.
Upon entering the presidential suite, he found Wei Ziling asleep on the sofa, hugging a pillow, with the television still on.
Ye Fan walked over to wake Wei Ziling, who groggily roused, seeing it was Ye Fan, she jolted upright and became fully awake.
âMr.
Ye, Iâm sorry, I fell asleep by accident,â Wei Ziling hurriedly said with a flushed face.
Ye Fan gave a faint smile and shook his head slightly, âWhy sleep on the sofa?
Go back to your room, careful not to catch a cold.â
âYes, yes,â Wei Ziling replied continuously, then added, âMr.
Ye, your herbal tonic soup has been stewed and kept warm, you can drink it directly now.â
Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately understood why Wei Ziling accidentally fell asleep on the living room sofa, probably waiting for his return, only he didnât expect to return so late.
âAlright, thanks.
You go to sleep,â he nodded slightly.
Wei Ziling responded and obediently went back to her room.
She now had to work hard to show her worth, as she didnât want to lose such a good job.
The next day, Ye Fan decided to sleep in.
Unlike in Africa where he had to remain highly vigilant even when at Long Groupâs base, he could fully relax and rest in Hua Hai.
However, a phone call woke him up just after seven in the morning.
âBoss, sorry, I neglected something very important,â Mo Shang said apologetically on the phone.
Ye Fan frowned at Mo Shangâs words, knowing that something Mo Shang considered important was undoubtedly serious.
âWhat happened?â he asked seriously.
âThe task to take your life posted by Lorne Blakey on the global assassin network was not cancelled after Lorne Blakeyâs death,â Mo Shang explained, âNormally, if the task publisher dies, without the ability to pay the remaining bounty, the task would automatically become invalid.
But, Lorne Blakey had directly deposited one billion US Dollars, leaving no issue of a remaining payment, so even though you killed him, the task is still active.
Meaning the worldâs top assassin, Caesar, will still try to assassinate you.â
âSorry, it was my oversight, I only thought to check the assassin network for confirmation today.â
Ye Fan was silent for a moment before saying, âYou neednât blame yourself, itâs not your fault.
I took out Lorne Blakey last month, and immediately after that the incident of the African tribal hostage situation occurred, so your attention was on gathering information related to the event and the resources of the masterminds behind it.
Thatâs just how you momentarily forgot.â
âEven if it is the top assassin in the world, the mysterious Caesar, itâs not necessarily true that he can pose a threat to me,â Ye Fan said confidently, âMoreover, our country is not a sieve that lets any riffraff in and out.â
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan took out Song Hongbingâs mobile number and dialed it.
The call connected quickly.
âDirector Song, the worldâs top assassin, Caesar, may have already infiltrated Hua Hai or will do so shortly to take me out.
Please check on people who have recently entered and left Hua Hai,â Ye Fan said, âIf you spot any suspicious targets, please let me know.â
Protecting against the invasion and
infiltration of foreign dark forces was within the purview of the Security Bureau.
They had also been monitoring the entry and exit of foreigners, so it was most appropriate to turn to the Security Bureau for this.
Song Hongbing responded immediately with gravity, âThereâs such a thing?
Rest assured, the Security Bureau will do its utmost to protect the safety of the people.
We will elevate surveillance to an S-level immediately and make sure to root out the assassin Caesar who has infiltrated our country!â
After ending the call, Song Hongbing immediately convened an emergency meeting to conduct a thorough review and parade, investigating all suspicious individuals entering and leaving Hua Hai recently and closely monitoring the entry conditions over the next one to two months.
The emergency meeting concluded with Song Hongbing holding a small team meeting, emphasizing the intelligence received about the worldâs top assassin, Caesar, who had either already entered or was about to enter the country to carry out assassination missions.
Because of Mo Shangâs call, Ye Fan was no longer sleepy, so he simply got up, cleaned up, and drank his nourishing herbal tonic soup to enhance his practice.
Entering the dining room to drink the nourishing herbal tonic soup, he saw Qing Luan already up and watching television on the living room sofa.
Thus, Ye Fan, holding the nourishing herbal tonic soup, sat down on another sofa.
Seeing Ye Fan approach, Qing Luan immediately greeted him with a smile.
âQing Luan, how long do you plan to stay in Hua Hai?â Ye Fan asked.
Qing Luan had followed him back to the country, and Ji Yuanchao personally entrusted Qing Luan to him, asking him to take good care of her, so he couldnât ignore her.
Qing Luan replied, âI donât know.
Brother Ye, how long will you stay in the country?â
âHeh, I may be around for quite a while,â Ye Fan said with a smile, âIf you plan to stay in Hua Hai for more than three months, itâs best to rent a villa or buy one to settle down and then buy a vehicle for convenience.â
Qing Luanâs bright eyes twinkled as she said with a laugh, âI think staying here is pretty good, no need to rent or buy a separate villa, itâs too much trouble.â
Then, in a joking tone, she added, âBrother Ye, youâre not trying to get rid of me, are you?â
âHa ha, of course not.
Thereâs no problem with you staying here,â Ye Fan laughed.
Qing Luan immediately said, âThen Iâll stay here!â
Ye Fan didnât mind, since they already had a young, beautiful, and sexy nanny living here, having Qing Luan, with whom he had a deeper relationship, stay was not a big deal.
âAlright then.
Iâll buy you a car in the next few days.
What kind of car do you want?â Ye Fan asked.
After a momentâs thought, Qing Luan said, âJaguar, I like the feeling of power it gives.
Too bad the Hummer is American, otherwise, the Hummer would be better.â
On the African continent, Qing Luanâs Flying Dragon Mercenary Group often conflicted with American forces, so she didnât like the United States.
After discussing the car, Qing Luan saw Ye Fan drinking the herbal tonic soup and couldnât help asking, âBrother Ye, are you drinking the hearty herbal tonic soup?â
The night before, she had interacted with Wei Ziling and knew that Wei Ziling specially stewed the nourishing herbal tonic soup for Ye Fan.
âYes.
Would you like some?â Ye Fan said, âItâs quite nourishing and beneficial for practice.â
âSure, Iâll have Ziling make an extra portion for me in the future,â Qing Luan said nonchalantly.
She was also a martial arts practitioner, with a proficiency at the mid-stage of the MĂng JĂŹng level.
At ten oâclock in the morning, Ye Fan called Li Zhaojun: âLi Zhaojun, Iâm back.â
âMhm,â Li Zhaojun responded with a light tone over the phone.
âCan you come to the leisure coffee and tea lounge of the Dingsheng International Hotel?
There are some things we must talk about seriously,â Ye Fan stated calmly.
Li Zhaojun said, âIâll be there shortly.â
At ten-forty-something, in a private room of the luxurious and refined leisure coffee and tea lounge at the Dingsheng International Hotel, Ye Fan saw Li Zhaojun dressed in a professional suit.
Ye Fan glanced only once at Li Zhaojunâs cool and stunningly beautiful face, then immediately looked away, took a deep breath, and invited her to sit down.
He had made up his mind, it was time to make a clean break.
