"Beat them!"
With Ouyang Shanshan's command, they swarmed forward.
Yang Xuejian was about to act when Yun Fan stopped her, "These trash aren't worth Senior Sister's effort!"
Just as the group closed in, Yun Fan acted swiftly, one punch at a time, knocking them all down.
Everyone was shocked by this display, not expecting Yun Fan to truly dare to turn his back on the Ouyang family.
Even Ouyang Shanshan was surprised by Yun Fan's strength, but as the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, she would not back down easily.
"Kid, even if you cut off your own hands and beg for mercy on your knees today, my Ouyang family will never let you go!"
Ouyang Shanshan pointed at Yang Xuejian and snarled, "And you, one day, I'll have dozens of men take turns with you!"
A dragon has its scales, touch them and you offend. Just as Yun Fan was about to deal with Ouyang Shanshan, Ouyang Shaohui blocked his path.
"Brother Yun, I can overlook you beating those servants, but you can't touch her!"
Ouyang Shaohui argued righteously, "Although she brings shame to our Ouyang family, she is still the eldest daughter of our Ouyang family. If you hit her, it's like slapping our Ouyang family in the face!"
Yang Xuejian didn't want her junior brother to fall out with the Ouyang family, so she said to Yun Fan, "Forget it, there's no need to argue with such a foul-mouthed woman!"
"That won't do!"
Yun Fan acted decisively, his speed so great that even Ouyang Shaohui couldn't react.
"Bang!"
With one kick, Ouyang Shanshan was sent flying several meters away, smashing several tables.
She then fainted.
"The Ouyang family will not let this matter rest!" Ouyang Shaohui said coldly.
"If the Ouyang family seeks retribution, they can come find me!"
Yun Fan calmly led Yang Xuejian away.
At this moment, the guests attending the banquet also hurriedly took their leave.
"Eldest Daughter is unharmed!"
His subordinate checked Ouyang Shanshan's condition and found that she was not seriously injured.
"Take her to rest!"
"Yes!"
At this moment, Ah Jie, who was almost paralyzed with fear, stammered, "Big...Big Young Master, I'm leaving too!"
However, just as he was about to bolt, several of Ouyang Shaohui's subordinates grabbed him.
"Big Young Master, it has nothing to do with me! It was the Eldest Daughter who wanted to stand up for me!"
Ah Jie pleaded in despair.
But Ouyang Shaohui didn't listen to his explanation, and simply said, "Throw him into the river to feed the fish!"
"Yes!"
"Big Young Master, you can't kill me, otherwise, the Eldest Daughter will be sad!"
His voice faded into the distance until he fainted from fright, dragged away like a dead dog.
After everyone had left, Ouyang Shaohui, who should have been angry, curved his lips into a smile.
...
Upon arriving outside, Yang Xuejian said guiltily, "Junior Brother, I'm sorry, I've implicated you in offending the Ouyang family!" Sudán Novel Network.
But Yun Fan was unconcerned and comforted her, "Sixth Senior Sister, whether you were here or not, I would have offended the Ouyang family, just in a different way. You don't need to feel guilty!"
"What do you mean?"
Yang Xuejian looked at Yun Fan in confusion.
"Actually, from the very beginning, this setup was orchestrated by Ouyang Shaohui!"
Yun Fan analyzed, "From the moment that effeminate Ah Jie offended you, we fell into his trap. He knew that Ah Jie was a petty and vengeful person, so he deliberately let Ah Jie go. Then Ah Jie went to find that fat woman, Ouyang Shanshan, to retaliate against us!"
"But what was his motive for doing this?" Yang Xuejian asked, puzzled.
Yun Fan said, "His motive was actually very simple: to ignite the hatred between me and the Ouyang family through Ouyang Shanshan!"
"But with the Ouyang family's foundation, why would they go to such lengths?" This was what puzzled Yang Xuejian the most.
"If I'm not mistaken, the four great families and the ruling powers have been in a silent struggle for a long time. If they acted without proper justification, it might give the Ouyang family an excuse to be criticized!"
Yun Fan said calmly, "Although this excuse might be insignificant, Ouyang Shaohui is a perfectionist, and his goal is to make me offend the Ouyang family myself!"
Hearing this, Yang Xuejian became uneasy. "But you never offended him, why would he target you?"
"Because of you!"
"Because of me?"
"That's right!"
Yun Fan nodded, "Because he's been pursuing you for a long time, and you've announced your relationship with me, so he wants to get rid of me! It's just that he's different from ordinary people; he's a complete hypocrite with deep schemes!"
Yang Xuejian felt even more guilty after hearing Yun Fan's analysis.
"It's not entirely because of you. I have a feeling he came to Jiangnan specifically to deal with me!" His intuition told him that Ouyang Shaohui was not that simple.
At this moment, Yang Xuejian said, "That's certainly possible. I've known him for a long time, and I can't believe he's the kind of person who would do anything for a woman. He values profit more than women."
Yun Fan smiled, "So, this eldest young master Ouyang is not simple. I even suspect he arranged our car accident and assassination!"
"Now that you say it, I believe it too. Even if it wasn't him, he's definitely involved!"
Yang Xuejian said angrily, "This guy is so despicable, plotting behind our backs!"
"It's alright. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Since he's provoked me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Yun Fan's heart grew cold. He didn't like to provoke others, but if others provoked him, or even tried to kill him, he wouldn't hesitate to retaliate.
"But the Ouyang family is very powerful. Junior Brother, you need to be careful!"
Yang Xuejian said worriedly, "Our strength is not enough to contend with the Ouyang family!"
Ultimately, she was overthinking. She naively believed that her actions would make Ouyang Shaohui let go of his grudges.
Little did she know, he had already made his move.
"Sixth Senior Sister, don't worry. Leave this to me!"
Yun Fan knew that Yang Xuejian was trying to compromise for his sake, but he would never let this matter go.
"I'll stand by you!"
Yang Xuejian said firmly. She had already implicated her junior brother, so how could she stand aside? Since Ouyang Shaohui had become their adversary, she would fight to the death with Yun Fan.
"It's not that serious. Sixth Senior Sister, you need to have faith in the Ghost Valley Sect!"
Yun Fan smiled.
Yang Xuejian immediately felt relieved. That's right, she had overlooked it. The Ghost Valley Sect was the last force anyone should provoke.
If the Ghost Valley Sect was angered, even emperors and generals would face endless retaliation.
...
At the Jiang family, thanks to Yun Fan's Small Return Pill, Jiang Wanli's health gradually recovered.
He even had the illusion that he could live for several more decades.
In reality, the Small Return Pill could not cure his illness completely, only suppress it. Once the effect wore off, the illness would relapse.
"Has Xiao Yan broken up with that brat yet?"
Jiang Wanli asked his butler.
The butler quickly replied, "Not yet. Old servant believes that the Eldest Young Lady will eventually change her mind. She's probably just playing around now!"
"Hmph!"
Jiang Wanli said angrily, "Abandoning the entire Jiang family's business to be with that fledgling kid all day long, it's an embarrassment to this old man!"
"Master, actually, Yun Fan is quite good among the younger generation in Jiangnan. Old servant has inquired, and he is now the boss of the Black Dragon Society!"
His butler comforted him.
But Jiang Wanli wouldn't listen, "Wang Husha will eventually seek revenge on that kid. Even if he's the boss of the Black Dragon Society, he's as good as dead. Our Jiang family absolutely cannot be associated with him!"
Hearing this, his butler hesitated.
At this moment, someone outside announced, "Patriarch, there are guests seeking an audience!"
"I won't see them!"
Jiang Wanli was already annoyed and didn't want to see anyone.
Before his subordinate could speak, someone outside sneered, "Old man, are you sure you won't see me?"
"Who dares to insult this old man?"
Jiang Wanli turned around angrily, but when he saw who it was, he lost his temper.
"Chen Qingyun, why are you here?"
Jiang Wanli knew that the Chen family had been destroyed, but Chen Qingyun had escaped. He hadn't expected Chen Qingyun to dare to come to the Jiang family.
"Of course, I'm here to discuss something with you!"
"I have nothing to discuss with you. If you don't leave, this old man will hand you over to the Black Dragon Society!" Jiang Wanli said irritably.
Chen Qingyun was neither angry nor afraid, but smiled, "I believe you won't!"
"How do you know I won't?"
Chen Qingyun replied with certainty, "Because you don't dare!"
"How dare you!"
Just as Jiang Wanli was about to erupt, Chen Qingyun said, "I've brought Wang Husha, the leader of the Heavenly Gate, back to Jiangnan!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanli's face turned ashen. Although the Jiang family was large, compared to Wang Husha, he could destroy the Jiang family with just one finger.
"My Chen family was destroyed, and your Jiang family also benefited quite a bit!"
Jiang Wanli said without confidence, "I can return the industries to you, and I beg you not to attack my Jiang family!"
"That's not up to you!"
Faced with Chen Qingyun's lukewarm threat, Jiang Wanli was terrified.
Chen Qingyun then said, "Of course, things are not irreversible. As long as you agree to one thing for me, I will let bygones be bygones, and you don't have to return those industries!"
"What is it?"
Undoubtedly, Jiang Wanli was intrigued at this point.
"It's quite simple. Help me design a trap for Yun Fan, and then the leader will eliminate him!" Chen Qingyun directly stated his objective.
Jiang Wanli said with difficulty, "That kid is the boss of the Black Dragon Society, and our Jiang family is probably powerless against him!"
Indeed, although Jiang Wanli had always looked down on Yun Fan, he also knew that the Black Dragon Society was not something the Jiang family could provoke.
"What are you afraid of?"
Chen Qingyun sneered, "As long as Yun Fan dies, what is the mere Black Dragon Society? I will personally destroy the Black Dragon Society then!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanli knew Yun Fan was finished. Fortunately, under his subtle influence, the Jiang family had not sided with Yun Fan.
Otherwise, the Jiang family would probably be following in Yun Fan's footsteps. As for Yun Fan helping the Jiang family several times, he had long forgotten.
"As long as you help, I will give you one-third of the Black Dragon Society's industries. From then on, your Jiang family will be on equal footing with my Chen family!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanli was moved, as this was his long-cherished wish. His health was still good, and if he could elevate the Jiang family to the same level as the Chen family this time, and then become an affiliated family of the Heavenly Gate, no one in Jiangnan would dare to provoke the Jiang family, not even the Chen family.
Therefore, Jiang Wanli immediately pressed, "How can I help you?"
"Don't rush, let's make a plan first!"
Chen Qingyun smiled slyly. As the former overlord of Jiangnan, he understood Jiang Wanli's every move.
Afterward, the two began to make a plan. An hour later, Chen Qingyun stood up and said, "Patriarch Jiang, the future of Jiangnan belongs to us. We will have to help each other in the future!"
"That's that!"
Jiang Wanli said excitedly, "Someone, escort Patriarch Chen out!"
"No need, you arrange things properly first!"
"Alright!"
After Chen Qingyun left, Jiang Wanli made a call to Jiang Xueyan.
"Xiao Yan, Grandpa doesn't have much time left, so I won't hold it against you anymore. Grandpa just wishes to see you one last time before he dies."
