Chapter 187: Chapter 166 [Coming Out of Seclusion!]

"Haha... hahaha..."

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s threat, Situ Haotian laughed unrestrainedly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "You’d better hurry up; no waiting once the deadline passes!"

As soon as his words ended, Situ Haotian didn’t waste any more words and hung up the phone directly.

"Dad... Daddy, are you alright?"

Meanwhile, Situ Ruoshui rushed to Situ Chen’s side, crying, with trembling hands reaching out to lift Situ Chen’s head with difficulty.

"Pu-chi—"

No answer came. Instead, Situ Chen’s body convulsed as he spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum.

"Dad!"

"Ru... Ruoshui, Daddy’s fine..."

With a pale face, Situ Chen weakly lifted his hand, gently wiped the tears from Situ Ruoshui’s face, and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Ruoshui, don’t cry."

"Daddy, you’re not going to be in any trouble; you promised to be with Ruoshui for a lifetime!" Situ Ruoshui cried even harder, trying to wipe the blood from the corner of Situ Chen’s mouth, but her wiping couldn’t keep up with the speed of Situ Chen’s bleeding.

"I’m sorry... Sorry, Ruoshui, I’m not a competent dad."

As Situ Chen spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and then a little color gradually returned to his pale face as he slowly sat up.

A flicker of vitality before death!

Seeing this, Qi Qi and the others all knew this was a sign that Situ Chen was experiencing a brief resurgence of energy before death!

"Situ Haotian, if you kill Ruoshui, you won’t be able to gain my entire fortune!" Situ Chen sat up, calmly looking at Situ Haotian, "Ruoshui is my only heir!"

"Hmph, so that was your plan, that’s why you dared to call that bastard and inform him."

Upon hearing this, Situ Haotian said coldly, "Don’t worry, I won’t kill her. I will send her to Lu Wen to serve him as a slave for her entire life!"

"You won’t have the chance, Xiao Fan won’t let you off!"

Situ Chen spoke in a low tone, and then his breathing became rapid. His body started to shake violently, "He... he... will... avenge... me!"

With that, he drew his last breath!

Situ Chen fell into the arms of Situ Ruoshui.

"Dad!!"

Situ Ruoshui extended her hands in horror, gently touching Situ Chen’s cheek, crying out loudly.

There was no response, but Situ Chen’s face was filled with a smile.

Because, he knew his daughter wouldn’t die, and also because he had successfully communicated the insider information to Ye Fan!

...

At the same time as Situ Chen died in Situ Ruoshui’s arms, Ye Fan turned the car around and, while driving, he took out his cell phone to call Chu Ji.

"I can’t make it!" Upon connection, Ye Fan said in a deep voice on the phone.

"What happened?"

Chu Ji, who had just arrived at the restaurant with Su Yuxin and was about to order, picked up Ye Fan’s call. Sensing the heaviness in Ye Fan’s voice, her expression shifted.

"Situ Chen’s adopted son, Situ Haotian, has colluded with the Hongwu Sect to seize power, kidnapping Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui. I’m going to rescue them!" Ye Fan explained.

"Where are you now?" Hearing this, Chu Ji felt a bad premonition and asked urgently.

"I’m on my way to Ao Xiang Villa..."

"Xiao Fan, don’t be reckless. I’ll come with you!" Interrupting Ye Fan, Chu Ji spoke because of the unease in her heart.

"It’s too late. I must get there within half an hour, otherwise Situ Haotian will kill someone!" Although Ye Fan knew it would be safer if Chu Ji could accompany him, he couldn’t wait any longer.

"Xiao Fan..."

Inside the restaurant, Chu Ji wanted to say more, but found that Ye Fan had already hung up the phone.

"Sister Chu, what happened?" Su Yuxin asked, concerned.

"Yuxin, Xiao Fan is in trouble. I’m going now to help him deal with it. You stay here and don’t go anywhere. I will send someone to pick you up!" Chu Ji said, then got up hurriedly and quickly left the restaurant.

Exiting the restaurant, Chu Ji rushed into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, started the car, and dialed Ye Wenhao’s phone: "Cancel tonight’s dinner!"

"What happened?"

"Xiao Fan is in trouble!" Chu Ji said succinctly.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Wenhao’s expression changed.

"There’s trouble with the Dong Hai Gang. Situ Chen’s adopted son has colluded with the Hongwu Sect to kidnap Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui. He’s going to save them!"

Pressing the accelerator, Chu Ji drove out of the parking lot with one hand, her tone slightly somber, "I suspect it’s a trap. The end goal of the Hongwu Sect might be Xiao Fan. I need to get there immediately to help him!"

"Where?"

"Ao Xiang Villa!"

Upon hearing the location, Ye Wenhao didn’t say anything else but hung up the phone and coldly told the driver, "Pull over and get out!"

Though perplexed, the driver complied immediately, parking the car and stepping out.

Without delay, Ye Wenhao crouched to slip into the car, quickly started it, and floored the accelerator.

"Vroom!"

As the sound of the engine roared, the high-capacity new Audi A6L, like a raging steel beast, roared off into the night.

Inside the car, Ye Wenhao turned on the GPS navigation system and headed straight for Ao Xiang Villa!

At the same time, as the Yanhuang Organization’s head in Dong Hai, Lv Canghai, accompanied by two members of his direct lineage, arrived in the woods at Ao Xiang Villa.

After glancing at Villa No. 16, which was heavily guarded, Lv Canghai took out his cell phone and dialed Situ Haotian’s number.

"Uncle Lu."

"What’s the situation now? Has that kid arrived yet?"

"Situ Haotian, Fei Si, and Liu Tianjun have been killed by me, and that kid will be here soon!"

"Good, as soon as Hongwu Sect’s Huang Qi cripples that kid’s Martial Arts, notify me immediately. I’ll bring people in to capture him," Lv Canghai contemplated. According to the plan, Huang Qi would be the one to cripple Ye Fan’s Martial Arts, then he would lead his men to capture Ye Fan and pin the whole mess on his head.

By then, with Qi Qi of the Dong hai Gang Elders as the lead witness claiming that it was Ye Fan who killed Situ Chen and the others, he would close the case in the shortest time following proper legal procedures, using the law to sanction Ye Fan!

In this way, even if Chu Ji wanted to save Ye Fan, it would be too late!

"Understood, Uncle Lu!"

In meeting room 16, Situ Haotian respectfully responded and then hung up the phone.

"There were no mishaps, right?"

Situ Haotian had just hung up the phone when Huang Qi entered the meeting room. Seeing the three cold corpses of Situ Chen, Fei Si, and Liu Tianjun, he asked.

"I’m sorry, Master Huang, there was a slight accident," Situ Haotian hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t dare to hide it from Huang Qi.

"What happened?" Huang Qi asked coldly.

"I thought by using Situ Ruoshui as leverage, Situ Chen would obediently comply. I didn’t expect not only did Situ Chen not follow my demands, but he also informed that bastard Ye Fan..."

"Trash!"

For Huang Qi and the Hongwu Sect, the most important goal was to cripple Ye Fan’s Martial Arts and at the same time help Nanqinghong lure Ye Wenhao into a trap. Under such circumstances, hearing Situ Haotian’s report, Huang Qi’s eyes blazed with fury, as if he wished he could slap Situ Haotian to death.

"Please calm down, Master Huang!"

Situ Haotian was so frightened that his consciousness trembled, and he quickly added, "Although Situ Chen did not cooperate, that little bastard will come!"

"Situ Haotian, you bastard, Demon! Big brother will never let you go!"

This time, before Huang Qi could speak, from the corner of the meeting room, Situ Ruoshui, full of sorrow and anger, glared at Situ Haotian and yelled loudly.

"Shut up!"

Huang Qi bellowed angrily, inadvertently using the Lion Roar from "Hong Fist." With that roar, Situ Ruoshui was shaken until her ears bled and she collapsed to the ground, motionless as if her soul had been scared out of her.

"You said that little beast is coming?" Not caring about Situ Ruoshui’s life or death, Huang Qi asked Situ Haotian coldly.

"Yes."

Situ Haotian looked at Huang Qi with reverence and said, "I told him if he cannot reach Ao Xiang Villa alone within half an hour, I would kill Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui."

"What if he doesn’t come?" Huang Qi frowned.

"He will!"

Situ Haotian said with firm conviction, "That kid once saved Situ Ruoshui. Because of that, Situ Chen was grateful to him and even risked offending Lv Canghai to kick me out of Dong hai Gang. Now that Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui are in trouble, he will surely not abandon them!"

Huang Qi frowned and remained silent.

"Master Huang, are you worried that the kid might call for help?"

Situ Haotian saw through Huang Qi’s concerns and explained, "Please rest assured, although he is Chu Ji’s nephew, Chu Ji is in Yanjing. Even if she sprouted wings, she couldn’t save him!"

"You’d better pray he comes. If you mess up our plans, I’ll twist off your head!"

Just as Situ Haotian thought, Huang Qi was indeed wary of Chu Ji’s appearance, but upon hearing what Situ Haotian said, he felt the possibility was slim, so he coldly left a remark.

"Ssss~"

Situ Haotian inhaled sharply out of fear, not daring to make a sound, worried in his heart that Ye Fan might not come.

Twenty-five minutes later.

Situ Haotian put his heart back in his stomach.

Because the newly replaced bodyguard at the villa’s gate reported that Ye Fan had driven into the villa.

"Master Huang, that bastard has arrived!"

On the balcony of Villa 16, after receiving the report from his subordinate, Situ Haotian’s face brightened with joy as he eagerly reported to Huang Qi, "And he’s alone!"

Whoosh!

Without replying, Huang Qi focused on the villa’s entrance and saw a black Audi A6L charging towards them like a madman.

This discovery allowed Huang Qi to breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn’t help but sneer.

"Master Huang, shall we go downstairs to prepare for catching the turtle in the jar?" Situ Haotian’s smile grew colder, as if he couldn’t wait to make his move against Ye Fan.

Huang Qi nodded, silently turning to go downstairs.

Meanwhile, Situ Haotian dialed Lv Canghai’s number: "Uncle Lv, that bastard has arrived. Wait for my call!"

"Good!"

Hearing Situ Haotian’s words, Lv Canghai, looking through the gaps in the trees, spotted the Audi A6L.

At that moment.

No one noticed that another Audi A6L was racing down the road to the villa.

That Audi A6L bore the license plate of the Jiangnan Province government number one!

Twenty years ago, its owner had made a name for himself in the Martial Arts World, topping the Qing bang, but for a career in politics, he left the Jianghu.

Today, he was coming out of retirement for his son!
