Yun Fan was utterly bewildered, how could Bai Zhilan be involved in this matter again?
"Are you mistaken?"
Yun Fan said, "You being captured, Bai Zhilan told me about that too!"
"Impossible!"
Jiang Xueyan stated firmly, "She invited me out, then she and I had a meal and a glass of juice, and then I fainted. She personally handed me that glass of juice!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan was instantly stunned, because what Jiang Xueyan said was completely different from what Bai Zhilan had said.
Bai Zhilan had told him they went shopping, and then Jiang Xueyan was captured by people from the Ouyang family.
Now, it seemed Bai Zhilan was full of loopholes. Firstly, if she captured Jiang Xueyan, how could Bai Zhilan have avoided it?
Secondly, even if Bai Zhilan needed to tip off, Jiang Xueyan had told him she fainted after drinking Bai Zhilan's juice.
In comparison, Yun Fan was more inclined to believe Jiang Xueyan, not only because Jiang Xueyan was his friend, but also a friend he knew well.
Their close relationship was self-evident.
It was highly possible that both he and the Ouyang family had been manipulated. As for who was behind it, he would likely only know after seeing Bai Zhilan.
At this moment, Yun Fan made a shushing gesture to Jiang Xueyan, then called Bai Zhilan's phone, but clearly, Bai Zhilan's phone was switched off.
Thus, Yun Fan asked Jiang Xueyan, "Do you know where she lives?"
"Of course, I do!"
"Let's go, let's go ask her!"
"Okay!"
Subsequently, the two of them took a taxi to where Bai Zhilan lived.
At this time, Yun Fan knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
From inside the room, Bai Zhilan's voice could be heard.
"You have a package!"
Yun Fan altered his voice. Indeed, Bai Zhilan did not recognize it and opened the door.
However, the moment she opened the door, she was dumbfounded.
"How is it you two?"
Bai Zhilan asked with weakened confidence, even trembling slightly. This was definitely the behavior of someone caught red-handed.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Xueyan let out a cold snort, "Bai Zhilan, don't you owe me an explanation? I trusted you so much, I never expected you to treat me like this!"
It had to be said, Jiang Xueyan was utterly disappointed in her. Not too long ago, they were on the same side, but unexpectedly, this ally had stabbed her in the back.
"That's right, I did it!"
Bai Zhilan admitted straightforwardly.
"You..."
Just as Jiang Xueyan was about to lash out, Yun Fan pulled her back.
Yun Fan asked, "Why did you do this?"
"I just couldn't stand her. So, I colluded with the Ouyang family to kidnap her. Then, the Ouyang family wanted revenge on you and lured you over. It's that simple!"
Bai Zhilan said coldly.
But in Yun Fan's eyes, her words were full of flaws.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
Yun Fan said, "I think the person behind you wants to incite a war between me and the Ouyang family, and you are just a pawn!"
Hearing Yun Fan say this, Bai Zhilan's heart pounded. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to guess that there was someone behind her. However, at this moment, she absolutely would not reveal the person behind her.
Thus, she stated firmly, "You've misunderstood. I did all of this myself. No one was directing me!"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Xueyan said coldly, "Even at this point, you still want to deceive us, Bai Zhilan. I'm giving you a chance, you'd better confess honestly!"
But Bai Zhilan still stated resolutely, "I did it. Execute me or flog me, I accept whatever comes!"
"Just you wait, I'll finish you!"
Jiang Xueyan was angry and was again held back by Yun Fan.
"You go out first, I'll handle it!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Xueyan obediently left.
At this moment, Yun Fan said to Bai Zhilan, "We are friends, and very good friends at that. Even if you wanted to deal with Jiang Xueyan, there's no reason for you to deal with me!"
"That's just a good friend in your imagination!"
Bai Zhilan was incredibly nervous, it was clear she was suffering immensely.
Yun Fan continued, "So, I suspect you might be under duress. I don't know how, but if you tell me, I will definitely help you!"
"No one is coercing me!"
Bai Zhilan still refused to admit it.
But Yun Fan said, "Trust me, tell me the truth. Don't make one mistake after another, okay?"
Seeing Yun Fan's sincere demeanor, Bai Zhilan said with teary eyes, "I'm sorry, I don't want to harm you!"
"But I have to do this because they kidnapped my father, so I'm helpless. Please kill me!"
Bai Zhilan felt too ashamed to face Yun Fan anymore.
As expected, it was mostly as Yun Fan had guessed. For his sake, Bai Zhilan was even willing to give up her immediate future.
What could make Bai Zhilan make such a huge decision? It was likely only her father.
"Who kidnapped your father?"
Yun Fan pressed.
"I can't say!"
Bai Zhilan struggled, "If I say it, my father will surely die!"
"I completely understand, but do you really think your father won't die if you don't say anything?"
Yun Fan calmly analyzed, "Since the other party has already kidnapped your father as leverage, it proves they are people who will stop at nothing. How trustworthy do you think their word is?"
Bai Zhilan stood frozen. That was right, this person was indeed as Yun Fan said, someone who would stop at nothing.
But she truly didn't want her father to be harmed. In her plan, she intended to incite the anger of Yun Fan and the Ouyang family.
Then, to atone for her sins, as long as her father was safe, she would commit suicide. For this purpose, she had even bought a large bottle of sleeping pills, intending to fall into eternal slumber.
Now, after Yun Fan's words, she began to doubt whether they would actually release her father.
At this moment, Yun Fan confidently said, "Actually, even if you don't say it, I can guess who it is. It's Qin Yu, isn't it?"
"What?"
Bai Zhilan was completely stunned. Not for any other reason, but because everything Yun Fan said was correct.
She was indeed being threatened by Qin Yu. In the past, Qin Yu was merely troublesome, but she never expected him to directly capture her father this time.
"That's right, it's him!"
Bai Zhilan no longer concealed it, because there was no point in hiding it any longer. It was possible her father might lose his life.
Yun Fan said, "Silly girl, you should have told me this earlier instead of scheming against me!"
"I'm sorry!"
At this moment, all Bai Zhilan could do was apologize. She owed Yun Fan an apology.
"You don't need to apologize to me. Fortunately, it didn't lead to a major mistake, otherwise, you would regret it for the rest of your life!"
Yun Fan said, "What we need to do now is to rescue your father!"
Yun Fan had also met Bai Zhilan's father, that imposing fellow who could conquer the world with a word.
However, his strength was just so-so, not even close to Grandmaster. This "Seven Provinces Boxing King" title was mostly empty, filled with hot air.
"How do we rescue him?"
Bai Zhilan asked worriedly. She had been raised by her father alone, and before she could repay his kindness, this had happened.
Yun Fan said, "It's quite simple. You go meet Qin Yu!"
"Should I tell him I've completed the mission?"
Bai Zhilan asked him.
Yun Fan was speechless. He realized that among the women around him, besides his Fifth and Seventh Senior Sisters, the others seemed a bit dim-witted.
Thus, Yun Fan said, "No, if you say that, your father might be killed to silence loose ends!"
"Then what should I say?"
Bai Zhilan asked confusedly, as she was very nervous right now, and her IQ was completely offline.
Yun Fan said, "Tell him the mission has been arranged, but whether it succeeds is uncertain!"
"Then you negotiate with him. As long as he releases your father, you'll do whatever he wants!"
"No, that's too disgusting!"
Bai Zhilan immediately refused. What a joke, she wasn't a promiscuous woman, she was a maiden, how could she say such a thing?
But Yun Fan said, "Just do it. This is the only way to save your father, after all, you are the object he wants to conquer!"
"Am I really going to endure such humiliation?"
Bai Zhilan said unwillingly. If she were truly left to Qin Yu's whim, she would rather die.
"Of course not!"
Yun Fan said calmly, "Because I will be lurking in the shadows the whole time. Once I confirm your father is safe, I will kill that guy!"
"What?"
Bai Zhilan was indeed startled by Yun Fan, but inwardly, she was deeply moved. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to kill Qin Yu for her.
After all, Qin Yu was Qin Tian's son!
However, she was overthinking. If Qin Tian dared to act arrogantly towards Yun Fan, he would have to pay the price, and this time, the price was Qin Yu.
Killing Qin Yu, though it might cause a lot of trouble, was part of Yun Fan's plan to expose the Crown Prince. It could be said that he had made many arrangements.
At this moment, Bai Zhilan asked, "Aren't you afraid of Qin Tian?"
"What do you think?"
Bai Zhilan didn't continue, but took out her phone and directly dialed Qin Yu's number.
"Miss Bai, did you do what I told you to do?"
Qin Yu asked Bai Zhilan on the phone.
Bai Zhilan said, "It's been arranged, but whether it succeeds is uncertain. I kidnapped her, a woman, to the Ouyang family. I believe both sides will fall for the trap!"
"Very good, continue!"
After speaking, Qin Yu was about to hang up, but Bai Zhilan said, "Wait a moment!"
"Do you have something else?"
Since that incident, he no longer wanted to conquer Bai Zhilan. Now, he just wanted to kill Yun Fan, and then play with Bai Zhilan until she died.
Once the plan succeeded, he would deal with Bai Xiaotian. Although Bai Xiaotian had no enmity with him, Bai Zhilan had offended him.
Bai Zhilan said, bracing herself, "I know you really want me. So, as long as you release my father, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
Undoubtedly, as she uttered these words, Bai Zhilan almost threw up. In her entire life, she had never said such disgusting things.
This sentence immediately hooked Qin Yu on the other end of the phone.
"So, you're innocent and lively on the outside, but inwardly you're a complete slut!"
Qin Yu sneered.
"What? You don't like me like this, or is it because Brother Yun trained me well!"
Yun Fan was speechless beside her. He hadn't expected to be slandered once again, he didn't know what to say.
Qin Yu was furious, but the more it was like this, the more a strange sense of excitement surged within him. Thus, he said to Bai Zhilan, "Alright, but you have to let this young master have his way with you first!"
"I have no problem with that, but before that, I need to see my father!"
Bai Zhilan bargained.
Qin Yu nodded, "Come to my villa, and you can see your father!"
After saying that, Qin Yu sent an address to Bai Zhilan and hung up.
"Ugh..."
Bai Zhilan felt disgusted. She hadn't expected herself to say such vulgar words, and with Yun Fan listening beside her.
She immediately had the thought of not wanting to live anymore. It was too shameful.
But to save her father, she kept comforting herself that Yun Fan wouldn't think too much of it. However, when she saw Yun Fan's smiling yet not-smiling gaze, Bai Zhilan felt her heart turn to ash.
"Don't you dare tell anyone else about this, or I'll bite you to death!"
Bai Zhilan said, her face flushed red.
"Hmph!"
Yun Fan snorted, "Am I that kind of person?"
Afterward, the two of them opened the door, and Bai Zhilan discovered that Jiang Xueyan had been eavesdropping outside.
"I didn't expect you to be so slutty deep down!"
Jiang Xueyan glanced at Bai Zhilan with disdain.
Bai Zhilan once again felt like crying without tears. This time, it was truly impossible to explain. Yun Fan, on the other hand, was inwardly delighted.
After all, he had felt the same way when he was misunderstood as being impotent.
"Hmph!"
Bai Zhilan said angrily, "So what if you heard it? Anyway, only the three of us know. It was just my thoughtless remark!"
However, Jiang Xueyan said, "I'm very sorry, I just recorded what you said, and I've already sent it to the group chat of our sisters. Just wait to be embarrassed!"
She did this to get revenge for Bai Zhilan having made her faint.
"Withdraw it quickly!"
The two of them said in unison.
Why was Yun Fan included? Because Yun Fan was completely suffering an unprovoked disaster!
Originally, this shouldn't have been his business. But Bai Zhilan had said that he trained her, and if he had actually done so, it would have been understandable.
But he had never trained Bai Zhilan!
However, Jiang Xueyan said, "I'm really sorry, it's already been over five minutes! Should I delete it?"
The two of them almost fainted. Delete it? What was the difference between that and covering one's ears while stealing a bell? But at this point, it was too late to say anything.
Besides, rescuing the person was the priority.
Afterward, Jiang Xueyan, knowing she couldn't help, left first. Yun Fan and Bai Zhilan then set off to rescue Bai Xiaotian.
Before setting off, Yun Fan made a phone call to Ouyang Canyue, as they said, sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone.
He had to drag the Ouyang family onto the same boat.
When Ouyang Canyue heard that the mastermind behind framing the Ouyang family had been found, he couldn't sit still and immediately set off with his men.
...
Inside the villa.
Bai Xiaotian was tied up, and sitting opposite him was Qin Yu.
"If you have the guts, kill me. I'm not afraid of death!"
Bai Xiaotian cursed indignantly.
But Qin Yu sneered, "You're not afraid of death? If you really aren't afraid of death, you might as well bite your tongue and kill yourself. I'm not stopping you!"
"You..."
At this moment, Bai Xiaotian was instantly speechless. He felt humiliated.
Not long after, Bai Zhilan arrived. Even Qin Yu noticed that she was alone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've really come, Miss Bai!"
Qin Yu looked at Bai Zhilan coldly. Once upon a time, Bai Zhilan was a woman he wanted to conquer, but now, he felt a sense of disgust.
After all, the wasteland had already been cultivated by Yun Fan.
"Daughter, you shouldn't have come!"
Bai Xiaotian sighed. In the end, it was his fear of death that led his daughter into such a desperate situation. He regretted it deeply.
"Father!"
Seeing her father so tormented, it was impossible for Bai Zhilan not to feel pain. But unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.
"Still doting on each other at this point!"
Qin Yu sneered disdainfully.
At this moment, Bai Zhilan said angrily, "What exactly do you want to be able to let my father go?"
"That's easy!"
With a wave of Qin Yu's hand, his many subordinates retreated, leaving only the three of them in the entire hall.
"As long as you do something pleasant with me now, in front of this old man, I'll let him go!"
Qin Yu said with a cold smile.
Bai Zhilan's scalp tingled. She hadn't expected Qin Yu to be such a pervert.
"Scoundrel, I'll kill you!"
Bai Xiaotian roared in anger.
But unfortunately, his angry roars were of no use.
"What? Don't you want to save your father anymore?"
Qin Yu said playfully to Bai Zhilan.
"Of course, I want to save him. However, I have a better method!"
Bai Zhilan looked at Qin Yu with killing intent.
"Oh? You're not thinking of naively killing me and then saving this old man, are you?"
Qin Yu said disdainfully.
Although his legs were broken, even if they were reattached, he would be a cripple. As long as he pressed the button on the seat, his men could instantly rush up and deal with Bai Zhilan.
Bai Zhilan said, "Yes, but it's not me who will kill you, it's him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure appeared silently beside Bai Xiaotian and untied his restraints.
When Bai Xiaotian saw Yun Fan, his heart tightened. After all, he had boasted before Yun Fan that he was the "heaven" within the seven provinces.
Then he was thoroughly crushed by Yun Fan.
"It's you!"
Qin Yu also didn't expect Yun Fan to come.
"Didn't you already start fighting with the Ouyang family?"
Qin Yu asked doubtfully.
"We did fight, but the misunderstanding was resolved in the end!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Today, I will completely eliminate you, the mastermind!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu gasped. Only those who had witnessed Yun Fan's might knew how terrifying Yun Fan was.
Thus, he prepared to press the button.
But at the next moment, blood splattered. Qin Yu, full of unwillingness, clutched his throat and collapsed in the hall with difficulty.
To his death, he never expected that Yun Fan would pierce his throat with just a blade of grass.
Afterward, Yun Fan left with the father and daughter. However, before leaving, he felt that there was still one piece of fun missing.
Not long after, the fun he wanted arrived.
Ouyang Canyue led his men to the entrance.
At this moment, Yun Fan pressed a button.
When Ouyang Canyue saw the already dead Qin Yu, he realized he was a step too late. This handwriting must have been Yun Fan's.
It was just that he couldn't understand why Yun Fan would use the Ouyang family's "Heavenly Crippling Finger" to kill Qin Yu.
However, he understood it the next moment.
At this time, Qin Yu's guards rushed forward. Upon seeing Qin Yu killed, they all angrily charged at Ouyang Canyue.
"Yun Fan, you tricked me!"
Ouyang Canyue was furious. It turned out Yun Fan wanted to openly frame him. But that wasn't important.
What was important was that Yun Fan had actually succeeded in framing him.
These people were naturally no match for him, but at this moment, he couldn't explain himself and had to fight.
However, at this very moment, Qin Tian also arrived.
Upon seeing the already deceased Qin Yu, he showed a look of grief.
"Yu'er!"
Qin Tian's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
After a long while, he recovered and roared with rage, "Surround them!"
"Commander Qin, this is just a misunderstanding. My Ouyang family is not the murderer of your son!"
Ouyang Canyue explained with a pained expression.
Being set up like this felt terrible. No, it was set up twice.
"If not you, then who?"
Qin Tian had completely lost his reason and was about to attack at any moment.
At this moment, Ouyang Canyue argued, "Of course, it was that damned Yun Fan!"
"Hmph!"
Qin Tian snorted coldly, "Even now, you still want to quibble? My son died by the Heavenly Crippling Finger. Everyone knows, only your Ouyang family knows the Heavenly Crippling Finger!"
The reason he was sure Ouyang Canyue was the killer was because of the Heavenly Crippling Finger. This martial art was the Ouyang family's ultimate technique.
Let alone outsiders who couldn't cultivate it, even within the Ouyang family, only direct descendants could learn it.
Ouyang Canyue's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Of course, he knew that Yun Fan had framed him, but at this moment, no matter what he said, Qin Tian wouldn't believe him.
This was the most troublesome part.
No matter what, he couldn't have imagined that Yun Fan would pull this off. He had no choice but to bear this burden, and he had already mentally cursed Yun Fan's ancestors.
Thus, he said to Qin Tian, "Commander Qin, no matter how I explain, you won't believe me. Tell me! What kind of explanation do you want?"
Although he wasn't afraid of Qin Tian, the civil war between the four great families and the ruling powers had just ended. At this time, he couldn't provoke the wrath of both sides.
Therefore, he decided to compensate.
"You killed my son, and you ask this commander what compensation you want?"
Qin Tian looked at Ouyang Canyue coldly.
"This commander wants you to pay with your life!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Canyue became enraged. He wasn't the killer in the first place, and he had already decided to take the blame.
Unexpectedly, Qin Tian was so unreasonable. For this reason, he immediately said, "Impossible!"
"If you're not satisfied, let's fight!"
Ouyang Canyue immediately released his aura. This was the aura of a Half-step Innate.
Qin Tian was almost enraged to death, "Ouyang Canyue, don't push your luck too far. If we truly fight, you might not be this commander's opponent!"
"Is that so?"
Ouyang Canyue sneered. He hadn't not fought Qin Tian before. At most, it was a fifty-fifty draw, and even Qin Tian was slightly inferior to him.
In the end, it was Ouyang Canyue who made concessions.
After all, someone had lost their son. Even though it wasn't the Ouyang family's doing, there was no harm in making some concessions.
Thus, he immediately said to Qin Tian, "Alright, Commander Qin. You just lost your son. I understand your feelings. If we truly fight, it will be a mutual destruction situation, which is not good for either of us! Why don't we resolve it peacefully?"
"Peacefully resolve?"
Qin Tian really wanted to strangle Ouyang Canyue. My son was killed by you, and you want to resolve it peacefully with me? That's impossible.
"How about this? My Ouyang family will take a slight loss and compensate you with ten billion. Will that settle the matter?"
Ouyang Canyue proposed his compensation.
"Ouyang Canyue!"
Qin Tian even bit his lip. He hadn't expected Ouyang Canyue to be so overbearing. Was his son only worth ten billion?
In fact, Ouyang Canyue had originally intended to compensate only one billion, but after thinking about it, he said ten billion.
"As long as Commander Qin agrees, ten billion will be transferred to your account immediately!"
Ouyang Canyue continued.
"This commander will kill you!"
Qin Tian, who was already consumed by rage, charged at Ouyang Canyue.
Subsequently, the two of them fought fiercely. Both were Half-step Innate experts, so the destructive power they unleashed was astonishing.
Originally, Ouyang Canyue did not intend to kill, but seeing Qin Tian's desperate stance, he could only fight desperately.
Thus, they fought for over a hundred rounds, and neither could overcome the other. But at this moment, their situation was not good.
Looking at them, they were incredibly pathetic, even more so than beggars, and both were seriously injured.
If they continued to fight, it would be a mutual annihilation.
However, at this moment, an envoy from the Heavenly Emperor arrived.
Don't ask why he arrived so coincidentally. In fact, the destructive power of their fight had already alarmed the Heavenly Emperor.
"Gentlemen, please stop!"
The envoy said calmly, "The Heavenly Emperor requests your presence!"
Afterward, the two of them put down their desperate posture, exchanged a few simple words, and left with the envoy.
...
"Yun Fan, thank you for saving my father!"
Bai Zhilan said gratefully to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "You're welcome, but you can't act impulsively next time!"
If Bai Zhilan had told him earlier, they wouldn't have taken so many detours.
"There won't be a next time!"
"What?"
Yun Fan looked at Bai Zhilan, confused.
Bai Zhilan said, "Although Jinling is the most prosperous place in Huaxia, it is also a place of right and wrong. I am already tired of this place of right and wrong, so I plan to return to Jiangbei with my father and never set foot in Jinling again!"
Through these repeated tribulations, Bai Zhilan had already seen through it. Jinling was good, but it couldn't accommodate her.
Without strength, here, she could only be a pawn. This time, she almost harmed Yun Fan. If she stayed any longer, she would become someone else's pawn.
Bai Xiaotian was very pleased that his daughter could see through this.
"Zhilan, it's better that you can see through this. These games are played by the big shots. Without absolute strength, the best way is to avoid them!"
"That's good too!"
Yun Fan also agreed with Bai Zhilan's choice. After all, it was definitely not as simple as it appeared here. It was better to withdraw early.
If he didn't have a mission to complete, he would also like to leave.
"I will miss you!"
With that, Bai Zhilan gave Yun Fan a hug. Yun Fan thought it was just a simple hug, but the next moment, Bai Zhilan unexpectedly kissed him.
Only then did Yun Fan realize he had been taken advantage of.
Afterward, Bai Zhilan left shyly.
Bai Xiaotian said to Yun Fan, "Young friend, I have long predicted that you are not an ordinary person. You are destined to become a dragon among men. But I still want to remind you, even if you are a dragon among men, you must be careful!"
"Mm!"
Yun Fan nodded, and Bai Xiaotian also left.
At the same time, in the Crown Prince's residence.
