Chapter 263: Chapter 232 【Lan Hua Sect Successor】_2

Entering the main building of the villa, Pan Jueming saw Ye Fan sitting on the sofa and hurriedly quickened his pace to approach and bowed in greeting.

Despite Ye Fan’s repeated requests that Pan Jueming need not mind such formalities, Pan Jueming would always politely neglect this advice, insisting on paying his respects whenever he saw Ye Fan.

Aware of this, Ye Fan was clear in his mind and waved his hand, "Sit down and let’s talk."

Pan Jueming did as told and sat opposite Ye Fan, looking at him with a face full of respect, saying, "Mr. Ye, I wanted to report to you about the recent situation."

"Let’s not rush into that, tell me about your cultivation first," Ye Fan said.

"In the past month, I have followed your advice, practicing the ’Xingyi Fist’ martial arts while getting familiar with the Postnatal Perfection realm. Although I’ve had some gains, there is still a long way to go before I fully understand and can comfortably navigate it," Pan Jueming earnestly reported.

"You jumped straight from Postnatal Great Success to Postnatal Great Perfection, skipping two realms. It takes time to become fully familiar, so don’t be anxious. Let things take their natural course. Once the kung fu is solid, it will all come together naturally."

Ye Fan nodded. Although Pan Jueming’s talent was not bad, it was far from that of a martial arts genius. Expecting to fully understand and master the Postnatal Perfection realm in a short time was like a fool’s dream. "Alright, tell me about the recent situation with the gang."

"I followed your instructions and secretly led people to infiltrate two neighboring provinces, catching Nanqinghong by surprise. However, we only took over Central South Province and failed to take over Southern Fujian," Pan Jueming said as he abruptly stood up, full of self-reproach, "Please punish me, Mr. Ye!"

"Taking Central South is already completing the mission. Tell me why we didn’t take Southern Fujian?" Ye Fan waved his hand, indicating Pan Jueming to sit down.

This time, Pan Jueming did not sit down but slightly leaned forward to report, "There are two reasons. First, Southern Fujian is Nanqinghong’s stronghold in the mainland second only to Lingnan, responsible for smuggling and human trafficking. They have considerable influence. Second, the police in Southern Fujian are very close to them, reportedly backed by the Bai Family Faction."

"I see..." Ye Fan suddenly realized, frowning slightly as he pondered countermeasures.

"I personally think that there are only two ways to take over Southern Fujian. First, find a way to get the police on our side, or at the very least, not biased towards either side. Second, forcefully seize it and wipe out the Nanqinghong branch in Southern Fujian. This would, however, make a big commotion," Pan Jueming offered his opinion.

"No rush, we’ll plan this out in the long term."

Ye Fan shook his head. Although he intended to drive Nanqinghong out of the mainland and out of Huaxia step by step, he knew he could not act too hastily. Otherwise, blatantly challenging the law would make him a thorn in the eyes of those above, essentially giving the Bai Family an excuse to act against him.

"Hmm."

Pan Jueming nodded and then added, "By the way, Mr. Ye, there are some other matters I think I need to report to you."

Ye Fan nodded slightly, signaling Pan Jueming to continue.

"According to Jin Ye, in the past month, the Ao Xiang Group has suffered retaliation from the Hong Ding Club. The Hong Ding Club has used official power to intervene in, and even shut down, the business of Ao Xiang Group!" Pan Jueming reported gravely.

"Jin Ye originally wanted to report this to you, but when he found out you were in closed-door cultivation, he didn’t come."

"What’s the situation now?" Ye Fan’s eyebrows rose.

"It’s resolved."

Pan Jueming’s response took Ye Fan by surprise, "Just when Ao Xiang Group was unable to withstand the retaliation from Hong Ding Club, Tianshan Group gave significant help to Ao Xiang Group. In addition, the Ye Family Camp also gave support in secret."

"Oh?" Ye Fan was taken aback.

"As Jin Ye explained, Ao Xiang Group’s business in Yanjing and Jiangnan received care from the Ye Family Camp. And after discovering the involvement of the Ye Family Camp, the Hong Ding Club ceased their retaliatory actions."

At this point, Pan Jueming hesitated before sharing his opinion, "The Ye Family Camp probably acted out of respect for you, and the Hong Ding Club is very wary of the Ye Family Camp, so they dared not retaliate further."

This time, Ye Fan didn’t say anything more, instead falling into deep thought.

Had he been the one to act?

Is the Ye Family hinting at something?

Ye Fan quietly questioned himself in his heart.

There was no answer.

For a moment, Ye Fan’s expression became slightly complicated.

Half an hour later.

After feeding Little Wolf breakfast, Su Liuli drove the red Land Rover Range Rover, taking Situ Ruoshui to Dong hai University.

Meanwhile.

A flight from New York of the American Alliance to dong hai landed on time at Pudong Airport. A tall woman with an outstanding temperament stood up from her seat ahead of all other passengers and was the first to walk off the plane under the gaze of everyone.

"Miss Guan!"

Next to the plane’s stairs, a man in a black suit saw the woman descend and immediately bowed in greeting.

Without paying any attention, the woman held her head high, her face cold, and passed by the man, heading straight to the Maybach ahead. The sound of her leather boots on the concrete floor was crisp.

Watching the woman’s enticing back wrapped in a black leather jacket and pants, and listening to the sound of her leather boots hitting the ground, those men who got off the plane behind her all revealed intense desire in their eyes. Some even had their Adam’s apple move, feeling an almost irresistible urge to throw themselves at the woman and take her then and there.

At the same time they harbored such dirty thoughts, the man in black glared at them sharply, scaring them into hastily averting their eyes.

Witnessing this scene, the man in black didn’t linger and quickly followed the woman named Guan.

"Miss Guan, to the club or home?"

Half a minute later, the man in black got into the Maybach, started the car, and respectfully asked Guan Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Is Bai Luo at the club?" Guan Lin asked.

"No, Lord Bai has gone to the office."

The man in black replied respectfully while figuring out that Guan Lin’s return to Huaxia was ostensibly due to her father Guan Yi’s reassignment from Yanjing in the next few days, but it was actually because of the humiliation suffered by Bai Luo and the Hong Ding Club—Guan Lin was not only Guan Yi’s only daughter but also Bai Luo’s fiancée and the president of the overseas branch of the Hong Ding Club!

However—

What puzzled the man in black was that the humiliation of Bai Luo and the Hong Ding Club had happened a month ago. If Guan Lin returned because of this incident, it made no sense to wait until now.

"First, go back to the City Committee Mansion, and make it quick."

Guan Lin ordered emotionlessly, just as the man in black had guessed, her return was mainly due to Bai Luo and the Hong Ding Club.

The reason she did not return immediately was that, as the successor of the Lan Hua Sect, she had been in closed-door cultivation for the past month, attempting to break through to the Innate Great Success Realm!

Yesterday.

She had succeeded in her breakthrough and had come out of seclusion smoothly!
