Chapter 705 - Successful Rescue of Lu Xiaoman
Chapter 705 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" introduces new challenges: After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan put his phone back in his pocket and... Keep following!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan put his phone back in his pocket and continued to eat the remaining one-thirtieth of the hundred-year-old ginseng.
The hundred-year-old ginseng was dried, hard and tough, even harder than ordinary wood, but in Ye Fanâs mouth, it was like chocolate candy, chewable and grinding down to powder before being swallowed.
Before long, Ye Fan gnawed off the remaining piece of hundred-year-old ginseng, drank a gulp of water, then stood up and assumed the Rising Dragon Stance, digesting the medicinal power of the ginseng to restore his physical strength.
However, not too long afterward, Ye Fanâs phone suddenly rang.
Ye Fan relaxed from the Rising Dragon Stance, expecting the call to be from Elder Mo, but to his surprise, when he pulled out his phone, the caller ID displayed that it was from Lu Xiaomanâs foster father, Old Lu.
Without much thought, Ye Fan immediately answered the call.
The voice of Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother came through, sounding panicked and frantic, âYe Fan, are you inside the Mo familyâs villa?
Quick, come out and let me in, Iâm going to berate the Mo family to death!â
âAuntie, youâre in Chongqing?â Ye Fan asked, perplexed.
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother shouted loudly, âAfter all the hard work, raising my daughter, cleaning her poop and pee, and someone dares sell her off like a pig, could Old Lu and I not come?!â
âAlright, Iâll come out to meet you and bring you in,â Ye Fan said and hung up the phone.
He turned to Shen Biancheng and said, âBrother, Luâs foster parents have arrived.
It looks like Xiaoman had Mo Xiaoyan inform them.â
Shen Biancheng nodded slightly and replied, âIâll go with you.
The main parties have finally arrived.â
Thus, Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng went out of the villa together, toward the main gate of the Mo familyâs villa complex.
At this time, outside the gate of the villa complex, Old Lu and his wife paced back and forth restlessly.
âHoney, when we get in there, what should we do?â Old Lu asked nervously, stammering.
âMake a fuss!
Fight with them to the death!
We have to rescue our daughter, no matter what!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother said without hesitation.
âOld Lu, youâve been wimpy all your life; this time you have got to grow a backbone for me!
Itâs do or die!â
âYes!â Old Lu said firmly, clenching his fists, his face set in resolute desperation to fight to the end.
Originally, Lu Xiaoman, worried about Ye Fanâs safety, had decided to have her foster parents come over.
Upon hearing the news, Old Lu and his wife were frantic with concern.
Though Lu Xiaoman was not their biological daughter, she was as dear to them as their own lives.
They spared no effort to buy plane tickets, but it was just before the Lunar New Yearâs Eve, and there were no flights available that day.
They rushed to the train station to buy tickets, but there were no train tickets for the day, either.
So, they took a taxi from Hua Hai City to Chongqing.
However, their journey was not smooth, and after a lot of trouble, they finally reached the outside of the Mo familyâs villa complex.
Soon, Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng came out of the main gate of the complex, and Old Lu and his wife immediately approached them.
âYe Fan, are you even a man?
Xiaoman has been sold off like a pig, and youâre not fighting to rescue her!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother berated Ye Fan as she approached.
Ye Fan smiled bitterly and replied, âAuntie, I am indeed doing everything I can to rescue her.â
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother said sternly, âTake me and Old Lu inside, Iâm ready to fight to the death with those animals that are worse than pigs and dogs!
My daughter is raised by me, how dare they sell her off?!â
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, ready to storm through the complexâs main gate.
Ye Fan quickly intervened, urging Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother to calm down, then said, âIâm about to compel the Mo family to release Xiaoman.
After you go inside, try not to be impulsive at first, and talk things out with them.
If they still donât agree, then you can do as you wish.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you this time!â said Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother.
Actually, although they were desperate to rescue Lu Xiaoman, they knew that the Mo family was wealthy and powerful.
If it were just up to them, they probably wouldnât even be able to get through the gates of the residential area.
They had rushed over in a blaze of anger, but in reality, they didnât have a very good plan.
Thus, Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng took Mr.
and Mrs.
Lu into the villa complex.
The security guards at the complex gates naturally didnât dare to stop them.
Once inside, Ye Fan took out his cell phone and called Mo Xuaming, âXiaomanâs adoptive parents are here, they want to see Xiaoman and you.â
Upon hearing this, Mo Xuaming frowned deeply and looked at Grandfather Mo for instructions.
Grandfather Moâs expression was also grim as he said, âIf they want to meet, let them meet.â
If it had just been Mr.
and Mrs.
Lu, he had a thousand ways to deal with them.
But now, with Ye Fan and Shen Biancheng backing them up, he was unable to do anything to Mr.
and Mrs.
Lu in haste.
Especially since the Mo family was currently hosting ancient martial arts masters who had hurried over from all over.
If a scene was made, the Mo familyâs reputation would suffer a great hit and become a joke in the martial arts world.
âYes, Father,â Mo Xuaming responded.
However, he didnât immediately leave.
Instead, he looked at Grandfather Mo and cautiously suggested, âDad, why donât we just let Xiaoman leave the family?
The risk and loss that the Mo family has borne have already surpassed the benefits of a marriage alliance with other families.
After all, Xiaoman wasnât raised by us.
Grandfather Mo was silent for a while, then with a look of weariness, he waved his hand and said, âDo as you think best.
But Ye Fan must be defeated by Xuanhu!â
More than ten minutes later, in Mo Xuamingâs villa, Ye Fan and Mr.
and Mrs.
Lu finally saw Lu Xiaoman.
Seeing Lu Xiaomanâs frail and pitiful appearance, Ye Fan couldnât help but feel a pang of heartache.
Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother saw Lu Xiaoman and immediately rushed over, hugging her in her arms, comforting her, and assuring her not to be afraid, that they would definitely rescue her, and so on.
Lu Xiaoman, in her adoptive motherâs arms, cried like rain.
After a while, Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother let go of Lu Xiaoman, put her hands on her hips, and began to berate Mo Xuaming and Shangguan Jingxue.
Mo Xuaming was ashamed and offered no rebuttal.
After being scolded for a few sentences, Shangguan Jingxue couldnât stand it anymore and retorted, âWhat do you know?
Marrying Xiaoman off to another major family would ensure her a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth and honor.
Would you rather she continue to live in hardship by your side, without enough to eat or drink, toiling away her entire life?!â
âPah!
Selling a daughter for glory is still selling a daughter for glory!â Lu Xiaomanâs adoptive mother scolded, âIf you want to sell someone, sell your own daughter.
Xiaoman was raised by me; she has nothing to do with you!â
Seeing that the two sides had begun to argue, Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan hurriedly stepped in to pull apart their adoptive mother and Shangguan Jingxue.
Seven or eight minutes later, Mo Xiaoyan had taken Shangguan Jingxue up to the second-floor living room.
Once things had quieted down, Mo Xuaming finally had the chance to state his conditions, but unfortunately, Ye Fan firmly rejected them, insisting that the original terms remain unchanged.
âYou have fifteen minutes to consider.
If you donât agree in fifteen minutes, Xiaomanâs adoptive parents will make a scene throughout the villa complex that will be known by everyone, and I wonât be able to suppress it,â Ye Fan said.
Seeing Ye Fanâs resolute attitude, Mo Xuaming sighed and replied, âAlright, I will give you an answer in fifteen minutes.â
Then, he left his villa to find Grandfather Mo.
After weighing the options, Grandfather Mo ultimately placed family interests at the forefront and reluctantly agreed to Ye Fanâs terms.
