At this moment, Ye Qingcheng asked Liu Ming, "Has the Ye family been peaceful lately?"
"Replying to the young lady, the Ye family is very quiet, no major disturbances!"
He said respectfully to Ye Qingcheng, "It's just the family head..."
"What happened to my mother?"
"The family head has been leaving the family quite frequently recently!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was stunned. She naturally knew that her mother was busy with closed-door cultivation, sometimes not coming out for even a year.
This made her somewhat puzzled, but she wouldn't investigate her own mother. So, she nodded, "Hmm! I know!"
...
Yun Fan and the beautiful woman arrived at the bar.
At this time, the beautiful woman said to Yun Fan, "Little handsome guy, this is the second time we've met, and I still don't know your name?"
"Yun Fan!"
Yun Fan stated his name.
The beautiful woman nodded with satisfaction, "Good name! I'm Zhu Lian!"
"Your name is also nice!"
After a couple of drinks, Yun Fan immediately asked, "Aunt Zhu Lian, how much do you know about Long Aotian?"
"You call me Auntie?"
Zhu Lian looked at Yun Fan coldly. Yun Fan seemed to realize he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, "Sorry, Sister, I didn't mean to!"
This "Sister" made Zhu Lian's heart flutter. That's more like it! Was she that old? Calling her Auntie!
She was originally angry with Yun Fan, but now she decided to forgive him.
"Very familiar, because he and I are friends!"
Zhu Lian said directly.
When Yun Fan heard this, he knew he had asked the right person.
"Sister, is Long Aotian still alive?"
This was the truth Yun Fan had been trying to find. The enmity between the Long family and the Ye family back then probably had to start with Long Aotian.
He now desperately wanted to confirm if his father was still alive.
Zhu Lian shook her head, "I don't know! But he should still be alive, shouldn't he?"
"He has been missing for nineteen years, but the rumors outside say he's not dead!"
"If he's not dead, why hasn't he come back?"
Yun Fan asked curiously.
"Perhaps he has unavoidable hardships!"
Zhu Lian said uncertainly.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked Zhu Lian, "Sister, do you know about the Ye family?"
"Of course, living in Jinling, I know more or less about the Ye family!" Zhu Lian said directly.
"That's great, Sister. I want to ask something, what level has the current Ye family head, Ye Ji, reached in terms of strength?"
Yun Fan now wanted to confirm Ye Ji's strength and then compare it with his own.
He wanted to see how big the gap between him and the Ye family was, especially since Ye Ji was no simple woman, and her daughter was already comparable in strength to him.
This woman's strength was no weaker than his own, so he couldn't use his past methods of overwhelming opponents.
Zhu Lian said, "I don't understand the concept of martial arts very well, but I heard that Ye Ji's strength had already reached the peak of half-step Xiantian back then. Now she has probably entered Xiantian!"
"So strong?"
Yun Fan was on the verge of tears. He had underestimated the Ye family after all. No wonder the Ye family could be the head of the four great families.
It turned out they had the strength to back it up. He hadn't encountered a Xiantian master since he left seclusion.
If Ye Ji was truly a Xiantian master, then this matter would be quite troublesome.
"Little brother, why are you asking about the Ye family? Do you have any grudges with them?"
Zhu Lian asked curiously.
More than just grudges! It was a deep-seated hatred, but Yun Fan didn't tell Zhu Lian about his grievances with the Ye family.
"No, I was just curious and wanted to ask!"
Yun Fan replied with a smile.
"Really?"
Seeing Zhu Lian staring at him intently, Yun Fan felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that he had no secrets in front of Zhu Lian.
"Really!"
But Zhu Lian smiled, "Little brother, you don't need to hide it from me. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a descendant of the Long family, right?"
"Yes, a descendant who luckily survived that reshuffle back then!"
Yun Fan said directly.
Back then, when Ye Ji first took control of the Long family, she had conducted a reshuffle of the Long family. In the end, she transformed the Long family into the Ye family, and no one dared to object.
Because anyone who dared to object had already been eliminated by Ye Ji.
"Little brother, you must not be rash. The Ye family now is even stronger than when Long Aotian controlled it!"
Zhu Lian warned Yun Fan.
"I certainly won't be rash!"
Yun Fan knew that his methods of pushing through everything were no longer effective, so he definitely wouldn't act impulsively now.
Zhu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. "But little brother, you don't have to worry. You are a descendant of the Long family, and you remind me of my good friend Long Aotian. So, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely help you with all my might!"
She promised Yun Fan and then handed him her business card with her name and number on it.
"Then thank you, Sister!"
Yun Fan did not refuse because he felt that Zhu Lian was not a simple woman, and he might really need her help in the future.
Afterward, they continued to drink.
...
Qin family.
"Ah..."
In the room, Qin Yu let out screams of pain because his father, Qin Tian, had arranged for a master physician to reattach his leg.
Not long after, the doctor came out of the room.
"Marshal Qin, the eldest young master's leg has been reattached, but he probably won't be able to practice martial arts anymore!"
The doctor had never seen such a decisive person. If it were just a normal broken leg, he would have had a hundred percent chance of fully restoring it.
But the attacker had directly shattered Qin Yu's bone marrow, which made things difficult. Although Qin Yu could live a normal life afterward,
his bone marrow was shattered. Therefore, Qin Yu absolutely could not practice martial arts from now on, or his legs would be completely crippled.
"I understand!"
Qin Tian said faintly. The doctor could tell that he was on the verge of an outburst, so he wisely withdrew.
At this time, Qin Tian, with a stern face, entered the room.
"Dad! You must avenge me!"
Qin Yu said mournfully. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to disregard his identity and try to kill him.
"Don't worry, your father has already sent people to capture that kid. No matter how big his background is, I will make him pay with his life!"
Qin Tian said coldly.
Although the Qin family was not one of the four great families, he had considerable prestige in the military, so naturally, no one dared to offend them.
He only had Qin Yu as his son, and he had placed too much hope on this son. Normally, even if his son was arrogant and unruly, he didn't interfere.
Instead, he let Qin Yu do as he pleased. After all, in his opinion, the Qin family's status was extraordinary, and as long as he didn't go too far, there would be no problem.
As long as Qin Yu didn't provoke the four great families or people of higher status, he could suppress them. He hadn't expected that Qin Yu would kick a steel plate this time.
No matter who that kid was, he would make that kid wish he were dead.
Qin Yu's eyes showed hatred, and he had already gritted his teeth in his heart against Yun Fan.
At this time, the people Qin Tian had sent had already traced Yun Fan's whereabouts.
Several masters, disguised, entered the bar. Just as they were about to rush over and disable Yun Fan to take him away,
they suddenly saw the woman opposite Yun Fan.
"How could it be her!"
The few of them showed expressions of horror. They never expected this person to appear here.
This forced them to abandon their plan to take Yun Fan away and quickly flee the bar.
It was a joke! This person was unpredictable. If she got displeased, she would kill them directly, and their deaths would be in vain.
Yun Fan and Zhu Lian naturally knew about this scene. A faint smile appeared on both their lips.
"Little brother, those people just now were after you, weren't they?"
She asked Yun Fan.
"I don't know!"
Although Yun Fan said he didn't know, he had a pretty good idea in his heart. That's right, the other party was indeed after him.
If he wasn't mistaken, the other party should be someone sent by the Qin family, as he had just disabled Qin Yu a few hours ago.
"Do you want Sister to help you get rid of them?"
Zhu Lian asked Yun Fan.
"No need, I can handle it completely!"
Yun Fan immediately refused.
At this moment, Zhu Lian gave Yun Fan a seductive look. Yun Fan quickly avoided it, for no reason he knew.
Although the few women were younger than Zhu Lian and no less beautiful, he found that every move Zhu Lian made was tempting him to sin.
This woman was too charming. Fortunately, his willpower was strong, otherwise, he would have fallen long ago.
After all, facing such a charming enchantress who was constantly seducing you, it was impossible not to fall.
"Little brother, why are you shy!"
Zhu Lian covered her mouth and laughed.
Yun Fan was embarrassed. It seemed he had to find an excuse to leave. If he stayed any longer, he couldn't guarantee he could maintain his original intentions.
"It must be because I drank too much and my face is flushed. Sister, look, it's getting late. How about we call it a night?"
Yun Fan was hinting to Zhu Lian that it was time to leave.
But Zhu Lian had no intention of leaving. She looked directly at Yun Fan and said, "Little brother, am I a tigress? Why don't you want to stay with me a little longer?"
At this moment, Zhu Lian appeared somewhat tipsy, making her even more alluring.
Yun Fan smiled, "Sister is so beautiful, you're not a tigress. It's just that it's a bit late tonight!"
"It's not late at all. Come, little brother, let's keep drinking!"
Saying that, Zhu Lian ordered a few more bottles of fifty-three-degree strong liquor.
Yun Fan was speechless. His alcohol tolerance had always been good, comparable to kilograms, but if he kept drinking, he would also falter.
Although Zhu Lian seemed tipsy, Yun Fan knew that Zhu Lian was in a much better state than him at this moment.
He had to admit, this time he had met his match in drinking. His mind was even becoming hazy.
"Little brother, it's boring to just drink like this. How about we add some stakes?"
She asked Yun Fan with great interest.
"Alright!"
At this point, Yun Fan had no choice but to accompany her. No, he should say, accompany the rich woman. He knew that Zhu Lian definitely knew more.
He would need Zhu Lian's help in the future, so he had to go all out for this drinking session.
"How about we play dice? Whoever rolls higher wins, and the loser drinks a cup!"
"So exciting, I like it!"
Yun Fan readily agreed, and then they started rolling dice.
Meanwhile, the masters had returned to the Qin family.
"Where are they?"
Seeing that they hadn't brought Yun Fan back, Qin Tian's face was full of gloom.
"Marshal Qin, there was an unexpected situation, and we couldn't bring him back!"
"What unexpected situation?"
Qin Tian said coldly, "Don't tell me you weren't his match!"
"That's not it. We were about to make a move, but a woman appeared beside that kid!"
"A woman?"
While Qin Tian was puzzled, one of his subordinates stepped forward and quietly told Qin Tian the woman's name.
Instantly, a trace of solemnity appeared on Qin Tian's gloomy face.
"How could it be her?"
Even Qin Tian hadn't expected this woman to be drinking with that kid in a bar. One should know that this woman was not simple.
She had even rejected an invitation from the Heavenly Emperor, and now she was condescending to a small bar to drink with a young man.
Could it be that this woman was lonely and had started frequenting nightclubs to pick up men?
"Are you sure you didn't misread?"
Qin Tian asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to Marshal Qin, we are sure we didn't misread, it was her!"
The few of them quickly assured him.
"You may all go."
"Yes!"
After they left, Qin Tian smashed the table in front of him with a palm.
However, he quickly regained his composure. Even with this woman present, it didn't matter. He still had ways to deal with Yun Fan.
...
In the bar.
"Sister, I really can't drink anymore!"
Yun Fan repeatedly begged for mercy. That's right, he had been defeated by Zhu Lian in terms of alcohol tolerance. He hadn't expected her to drink so fiercely.
Just now, during the dice game, they were evenly matched. He drank about ten cups, and Zhu Lian drank even more than him.
But Zhu Lian still maintained that hint of tipsiness, and her words and actions became bolder, occasionally throwing in some suggestive jokes.
Yun Fan, on the other hand, was nearing blackout. He couldn't help it; her alcohol tolerance was really too good. His alcohol tolerance of one kilogram and a half had been instantly reduced to nothing.
But Zhu Lian had her arm around his shoulder. Yun Fan felt a wave of charming fragrance. Normally, he would have pushed her away.
But now he was mentally exhausted and couldn't even be bothered to push her away.
"A man can't say he can't, keep going!"
Zhu Lian urged him on.
Yun Fan was close to tears. He had never met such a heavy drinker. So, he immediately pleaded, "Sister, please spare me!"
"So useless. How about this! Let's keep playing dice. If I lose, I'll keep drinking. If you lose, you can use something else to pay the debt!"
Saying that, Zhu Lian scanned Yun Fan up and down.
"Sister, I'm selling my skills, not my body!"
Yun Fan quickly said defensively.
"Pfft!"
Zhu Lian burst into laughter. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so humorous.
"You're flattering yourself. I'm not that kind of person. If you lose, how about you kiss me?"
Yun Fan accidentally looked up at the seductive Zhu Lian and immediately refused the request.
What a joke! He was just here to drink, and he didn't intend to give his body away here.
So, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Sister, there's no need to play that big!"
"Stop being a mother hen, let's change the rules!"
Yun Fan was instantly relieved, as long as it wasn't the bet from before.
Who knew that Zhu Lian would propose an even bigger bet.
"Whoever loses has to take off a piece of clothing, until they're completely undressed!"
Zhu Lian said dominantly.
"Sister, actually, drinking is quite good!"
Yun Fan repeatedly refused, so they continued to compete in drinking.
Yun Fan didn't believe he couldn't outdrink her. If it were an ordinary person, they shouldn't push themselves at this point.
Because drinking can indeed kill people.
But he was a martial arts expert, and his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he wasn't afraid of dying from drinking.
Thus, they continued to fight.
In the end, after finishing his last drink, Yun Fan's vision went black, and he completely blacked out.
Because the strong liquor he drank tonight was never less than two kilograms.
...
"Has little junior brother not returned yet?"
There was a trace of worry in Leng Ningshuang's eyes because it was already late at night, and Yun Fan hadn't returned. They had called Yun Fan's phone.
But Yun Fan didn't answer.
At this time, Yang Xuejian asked worriedly, "Could little junior brother be in danger?"
As soon as she said this, the women became even more worried. This wasn't Jiangnan, but Jinling. Jinling, despite its apparent prosperity,
was actually full of hidden experts that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
"Impossible!"
Jiang Xueyan directly denied this possibility.
"What do you mean?"
The women looked at Jiang Xueyan in confusion.
Jiang Xueyan exhibited reasoning that surpassed her intelligence. "If Yun Fan were in danger, his phone would definitely be unreachable, and the other party would have gotten rid of it immediately!"
"But his phone is still reachable, so in my opinion, he's probably not in danger. He might have gotten drunk!"
After hearing Jiang Xueyan's analysis, the women thought it was indeed possible, but could one person really get that drunk?
At this point, they could only wait. However, they wouldn't be waiting for Yun Fan to return tonight.
...
The next day, Yun Fan woke up from his sleep and found himself in a bathrobe on a hotel bed.
Of course, this was not the hotel where he stayed with the other women.
"What's going on?"
Yun Fan was dumbfounded.
He quickly tried to recall last night's events but couldn't remember anything that had happened. All he knew was that he had drunk himself into a blackout.
He didn't know what happened after he blacked out.
He hadn't expected to be staying in a strange hotel and to have his clothes changed without his knowledge.
Yun Fan's head immediately started to hurt.
Could it be that his virginity was no longer intact? Thinking of this, Yun Fan suddenly had a bad premonition, especially at a time when he was about to make a big splash in Jinling.
He absolutely couldn't falter at this moment! Otherwise, he might have to scurry back to Nanshan Village and lie low for a few years before emerging again.
At this moment, there was a letter on the table. He knew it must have been left by Zhu Lian. She had to admit, her handwriting was truly ugly.
"Little brother, you blacked out last night, so Sister took you to the hotel. Seeing you throw up everywhere, I helped you change your clothes. The clothes are hanging on the balcony. Don't worry, Sister didn't do anything to you. I have to say, your alcohol tolerance is really low, but your physique is quite substantial. Let's keep in touch!"
Below was a teasing emoji.
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter. As long as his chastity was intact, it was fine.
His head still ached, and he prepared to sleep a little longer.
However, as soon as he remembered that today was the day the new drama was supposed to start filming, Yun Fan lost his desire to sleep. At this moment, he quickly opened his phone and found that there were forty missed calls.
Yun Fan's head immediately started to hurt. He quickly called back the first number.
"Little junior brother, where were you last night? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
On the other end of the phone, Leng Ningshuang questioned him.
Yun Fan said embarrassedly, "Nothing much, just had some drinks, then got drunk, and just found a hotel to stay in!"
"Who were you drinking with?"
Yun Fan certainly couldn't say! If this got out, it would be disastrous. So, he immediately explained, "No one, I was alone!"
"Alone?"
"Yes! I'll be right back!"
After that, Yun Fan hurriedly hung up the phone and returned to the hotel.
Who knew that as soon as he returned to the hotel, the women would surround him with malicious intent. Drinking alone and blacking out.
They didn't believe him. Zhao Fanghua immediately leaned in.
"Little junior brother, why does your body smell of perfume?"
Yun Fan instantly broke out in a cold sweat. This scent was left by Zhu Lian last night, as they were very close when playing dice.
So, Yun Fan said awkwardly, "When I woke up, I felt particularly uncomfortable, so I took a shower!"
"Therefore, the scent on my body should be the scent left by the shower gel!"
Yun Fan thought this explanation was flawless.
However, Lin Tianxin frowned. "Recommend the brand of shower gel to me. I really want to know which brand of shower gel has the scent of Guerlain perfume!"
As soon as she said this, Yun Fan broke out in a cold sweat, but he calmly said on the surface, "I don't know either. After all, who pays attention to the brand of hotel shower gel!"
"Is that so?"
The women suddenly stepped forward and pinned Yun Fan down.
"What are you doing?"
Yun Fan exclaimed in shock, but he didn't resist. After all, they were all his own people. As long as they didn't mess around, it would be fine.
After checking that there were no hickeys on him, the women let him go.
"Little junior brother, you are at a critical moment of breakthrough. You cannot ruin your future because of a moment of impulse!"
Leng Ningshuang warned Yun Fan.
Yun Fan immediately promised, "Seventh Senior Sister, don't worry, I am actually a person who cherishes my own purity!"
This point, the women did believe. After all, they had been with Yun Fan for so long, and Yun Fan was indeed not a man who was promiscuous.
Moreover, there was no conclusive evidence this time, so the women didn't make things difficult for Yun Fan.
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He vowed that he would never get himself blacked out when drinking next time.
"Everyone, don't you know what day it is today?"
At this moment, a voice came, and then the door was opened. Ye Qingcheng walked in from outside.
Today was the day the new drama was to start filming. She had been on set since early in the morning, but then she was dumbfounded.
The main actors had not shown up at all, so she angrily rushed to the hotel.
However, when she and Leng Ningshuang exchanged glances, the entire room was immediately filled with a heavy scent of gunpowder.
"Sorry, Miss Ye, we forgot. We'll leave immediately!"
Yang Xuejian said apologetically. Last night, they were too worried about Yun Fan and had forgotten about the start of the new drama.
Ye Qingcheng was almost infuriated. Listen to that, was that human language?
They had forgotten something like this. However, she remained composed. Then, after everyone got ready, they arrived at the set.
At this moment, the director of the new drama, Director Song, was furious on set. One should know that he was a well-known director in China.
As long as it was an actor, they would more or less give him face, so he was usually a very arrogant person.
He hadn't expected that the male and female leads would be late on the first day of filming. They clearly didn't take him seriously. Didn't he have any dignity?
Therefore, he had already decided that after the male and female leads arrived, he would show his power and scold them harshly.
As a director, it was as easy as drinking water to find trouble with an actor during filming.
If the female lead was beautiful, he would consider letting her off, after all, he still wanted the female lead to come to his room to discuss the script that night.
At this moment, he saw Ye Qingcheng arrive and obsequiously stepped forward. "Miss Ye, the male and female leads are too arrogant. They dare to be late on set. It seems they don't take you seriously at all!"
Director Song was fanning the flames. As a well-known director, he dared to curse at ordinary investors if such a problem occurred.
But this was a TV series invested in by Ye Qingcheng. If he really did that, he believed he wouldn't see the sun tomorrow.
Therefore, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to be dissatisfied with Ye Qingcheng.
"Don't rush, they're here!"
Ye Qingcheng said calmly.
Then, Director Song looked at Yun Fan and the women walking over. His gaze didn't linger on Yun Fan but was fixed on the women.
When he saw Yang Xuejian, Lin Tianxin, and Jiang Xueyan's astonishing beauty, Director Song's heart burned. He had heard before that the female leads were all stunningly beautiful.
He hadn't believed it at first, as beautiful women nowadays relied on photo editing. He hadn't expected there to be such beautiful women.
At this moment, he made a bold decision in his heart, which was to invite all three actresses to his room tonight to discuss the script. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Let me introduce you, this is Director Song. He is the director of this drama!"
Ye Qingcheng said to the three of them.
Director Song began to put on airs, as he was a well-known director in China. Even great stars were respectful to him.
Newcomers would definitely be very excited.
However, the few of them were very calm.
It was understandable that Yang Xuejian was calm, as Director Song knew that Yang Xuejian was a top star.
But Yun Fan and the other two were also very calm, which was beyond his expectation. Didn't they know that as long as he was willing, he could make them famous instantly?
Therefore, Director Song prepared to discipline them.
"Everyone, you are late today, but for Miss Ye's sake, I won't hold it against you. If you are late again, don't blame me for being unforgiving!"
Director Song said domineeringly, "This is the first time you are cooperating with me, so this director will tell you the rules of the set! I am in charge here. You do as I say. If you dare to defy this director's wishes, don't blame this director for firing you!"
The staff on set trembled. They knew Director Song's character. If anyone displeased him, he would not only fire them but also blacklist them. Therefore, ordinary people didn't dare to defy him.
For this reason, Director Song had harmed countless actresses using this method.
Director Song thought that after this warning, they would definitely be scared. Who knew that they showed no fear at all.
And Yun Fan directly said, "I'm not acting anymore!"
"Yes, not acting anymore, let's go!"
The three women followed Yun Fan and were about to leave. This operation instantly made Director Song's old back ache.
