Chapter 370: Chapter 331: Pointed by Thousands (Part 2)

Ye Fan stopped the car and didn’t bother to look at the vehicles with special license plates, but instead got out directly and walked toward the entrance of the Ye Family Mansion.

"Hello, Secretary Wang."

Seeing Ye Yuanshan’s personal secretary waiting for him at the door, Ye Fan was not surprised, but merely bowed slightly in greeting.

"Uh..."

Facing Ye Fan’s humble demeanor, Secretary Wang was taken aback.

As Ye Yuanshan’s personal secretary, he was considered the most powerful secretary in Huaxia, and even rumored to be the most impressive second in command, a position that outwardly seemed less significant than some Provincial Governors but secretly envied by those high-ranking officials and Provincial Governors.

Naturally, his emotional intelligence was beyond question.

With his high emotional intelligence, he had pieced together the events of this evening through the injuries of Ye Cang and Ye Long and the behavior of the third generation of the Ye Family, guessing almost exactly what had happened.

But—

What he hadn’t anticipated was that Ye Fan, who had stirred up trouble in the south causing the Bai Family to suffer and had caused a scene in Yanjing at the Ye Family, would be so courteous toward him.

"Hello, Xiao Fan."

Surprised, Secretary Wang smiled in response, but a bizarre thought crossed his mind: Ye Fan’s courtesy was certainly not out of respect for his position.

After affirming this point in his mind, Secretary Wang didn’t bother with too much politeness and directly said, "The old general asked me to bring you to the back yard."

"Then please lead the way, Secretary Wang." Ye Fan smiled faintly, his face showing no worry.

Seeing this, although Secretary Wang did not understand why Ye Fan was so confident, reason told him that it would not be easy for Ye Wentao and others to take advantage of Ye Fan today.

Just as Secretary Wang was leading Ye Fan toward the inner court, Ye Wentao and the others had arrived at the inner court a step earlier, but they hadn’t entered the study, and were just standing in the courtyard while Ye Long was being carried on a stretcher by two security personnel.

Although they were genuine Ye Family’s Young Masters, it was very difficult for them to see Ye Yuanshan, and they couldn’t meet him without his explicit approval.

This was why Ye Long had Ye Cang call Qin Yan—to bring a crowd and force Ye Yuanshan to deal with this matter!

"Big brother, since Grandpa asked us to come to the inner court, why won’t he let us go inside?" In front of the study, Ye Wenjun asked Ye Wentao quietly.

Ye Wenling, not far from the two men, faintly heard Ye Wenjun’s words and sullenly chimed in, "Exactly, you said not letting us in is one thing, but Xiao Long’s injuries are so severe, staying outside could make them worse."

"Grandpa must be waiting for that kid to come, let us all go in together then," Ye Wentao pondered and said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenjun and Ye Wenling thought it made some sense and didn’t say anything further.

Meanwhile, Ye Wenhai was frowning slightly, pondering the intentions behind Ye Yuanshan’s actions.

At that moment.

Secretary Wang led Ye Fan through the archway connecting the inner and central courts into the inner court.

Whoosh!

The moment Ye Fan appeared, everyone’s gaze involuntarily landed on him.

Among them, the Ye Wentao couple and the Ye Wenjun couple looked at Ye Fan with displeasure.

The gazes of Ye Wenling and Qin Yan were filled with anger.

On the other hand, Ye Wenhai and the Gu Mei couple’s expressions were relatively calmer, but the hidden resentment in their hearts was startling.

As for the involved party, Ye Cang looked at Ye Fan with both anger and fear—he not only resented Ye Fan deeply, but was also terrified of Ye Fan’s cruel methods, which had left a shadow in his heart.

Unlike Ye Cang, the look Ye Long gave Ye Fan was filled with nothing but hatred!

That hatred seemed to tell Ye Fan that it was a fight to the death between them!

In those few seconds, Ye Fan took in everyone’s gazes, and linking it to their positions in the yard, he vaguely guessed Ye Yuanshan’s intentions.

"Ye Fan, just wait a moment while I consult with the old general,"

Perhaps because of everyone’s obvious hostility towards Ye Fan, Secretary Wang did not dare to appear too close to him and directly called out Ye Fan’s name.

Ye Fan nodded slightly, then stopped walking and stood aside on his own, clearly distinct from Ye Wentao and the others.

"Ye Fan, aren’t you going to explain anything?"

In a way, Ye Wentao was among the third generation of the Ye Family who still had a relatively good impression of Ye Fan. However, Ye Fan’s actions last night and tonight had drastically changed his impression, and seeing Ye Fan acting as if nothing had happened, he frowned and asked.

"Since you’ve already come here to complain, which clearly shows you fully believe their words, my explanations would be as redundant as taking off my pants to fart," Ye Fan replied nonchalantly, unafraid as he met Ye Wentao’s gaze.

"How dare you!"

Ye Wenjun, who worked for the police department, already had a very bad impression of Ye Fan. Seeing that Ye Fan showed no signs of admitting his faults and was even disrespectful to his own elder brother, he became furious.

Ye Fan looked away, paying him no heed.

"Big brother, second brother, why bother talking so much to this uneducated person?"

Seeing that Ye Wentao and Ye Wenjun were getting nowhere, Ye Wenling sneered, "Let him jump around a bit more. I don’t believe that Grandpa will protect him in this matter!"

"Educated? Do you even know how to write the words ’educated’?" Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at Ye Wenling with a teasing smile.

Ye Wenling’s face filled with anger, and she pointed angrily at Ye Fan, "Bastard, let me tell you, don’t think that just because you’ve been shown some colors, you can open a dye workshop—today, even if Ye Wenhao himself comes, you will still be held responsible for injuring Ye Long and Ye Cang!"

"It seems you are not the one to decide, are you?" Ye Fan scoffed mockingly. "Otherwise, you wouldn’t be standing here, would you?"

"You..."

Ye Wenling trembled with rage but was at a loss for words.

Despite her disdain for Ye Fan and her anger at his brutal actions, just as Ye Fan said, she had no authority to decide the outcome of this matter.

Not only her but no one in the yard could do so!

"Ye Fan, no matter how slick your tongue, you can’t change the fact that you initiated the attack and injured me,"

After a brief silence, the blood-covered Ye Long spoke, his gaze chillingly fixed on Ye Fan as he said, "It’s true that the old man allowed you into the Ye Family Mansion, but there are laws of the country and rules of the family. I believe the old man will uphold justice for me!"

"I thought this was a tribunal," Ye Fan said with a faint smile, then his tone suddenly turned cold, "Ye Long, you should remember what I told you. I don’t kill you, not because I fear the Ye Family or the Yanhuang Organization, but just so you can experience the taste of a fate worse than death—when you think revenge against me is hopeless, you will taste that flavor."

"Hiss—"

Once again hearing Ye Fan’s insufferably arrogant words, Ye Wentao and others instinctively inhaled sharply in anger, including the usually restrained Ye Wenhai and Gu Mei couple.

"Grandfather, did you hear that? This outsider, this bastard, not only disregards our Ye Family but also disregards the laws and regulations of Huaxia. Even if he is the third brother’s illegitimate child, he shouldn’t be allowed to act so recklessly, right??"

Perhaps knowing that she was no match for Ye Fan in a war of words, Ye Wenling stopped arguing with him and instead stomped her foot fiercely and shouted toward the study room door.

Her shout inadvertently made Ye Wentao and others cast their eyes toward the study room door.

Inside the study, Secretary Wang, Ye Zhen, and Ye Yuanshan heard everything distinctly.

Among them, Secretary Wang looked somewhat embarrassed, Ye Zhen frowned tightly, while Ye Yuanshan’s aged face showed traces of disappointment.

Apparently, he was not pleased with the reaction of Ye Wentao and the others.

"Dad, you see..."

"Xiao Wang, let them in."

Ye Yuanshan cut off Ye Zhen’s words, giving instructions.

"Yes, Old Chief."

Secretary Wang immediately accepted the order, then bowed to Ye Zhen before turning and leaving the study.

Creak!

With a soft noise, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Secretary Wang stepped out of the study and said to Ye Wentao, "Brother Ye, the Old Chief asks you to come in."

"Thank you, Secretary Wang."

Ye Wenhao first expressed his thanks, and then led everyone towards the study room.

On their way to the study, except for Ye Wenhai and the Gu Mei couple, others couldn’t help but cast a glance at Ye Fan, as if afraid he might escape.

"Since you and your wife are hell-bent on dragging my dad into this, then don’t blame me for being unkind."

Seeing this, Ye Fan was almost certain that Ye Wenhai and the Gu Mei couple were planning to blow up tonight’s incident. He sneered silently and walked silently at the back.

"Grandfather!"

"Old Grandpa!"

Everyone aside from Ye Fan greeted Ye Yuanshan upon entering, including Ye Long who was carried into the study room on a stretcher by two security personnel.

Ye Yuanshan’s face was gloomy and he did not respond.

"Put him down."

Seeing this, Ye Zhen instructed the two security personnel.

"Yes, Chief!"

The two security personnel immediately followed the order and put down the stretcher, tactfully retreating from the scene.

"Our courtyard has never been as lively as it is today, except during festivals."

After the security personnel left, Ye Yuanshan’s gaze swept over Ye Wentao and others without looking at Ye Fan, "And my old bones haven’t meddled in family matters for a long time. Today, I will make an exception—Who will speak first?"

"Grandfather, originally we did not want to disturb your rest. But tonight’s matter is too serious, only you can preside over justice," even though Ye Yuanshan said this cheerfully, everyone felt his anger and were somewhat fearful. In the end, Ye Wentao gritted his teeth and stepped forward, bowing deeply.

"Grandfather, you must have heard everything just now."

Seeing Ye Wentao step forward, Ye Wenling also came forward, stating her case confidently, "He is third brother’s son, he carries the Ye Family’s blood in his bones, and you allowed him back into the Ye Family, we have no objections. We could even tolerate his antics at your birthday feast yesterday. But... what he did today is too much! Look at what he has done to Ye Long??"

As she spoke, Ye Wenling pointed at the bloodied Ye Long.

"Dad, without rules, there is no square. There are laws of the country, rules of the family. Given Ye Fan’s actions, he not only broke family rules but also violated the laws and the regulations of the Yanhuang Organization; he must be punished," added Ye Wenjun, stepping forward to express his position.

"Wen Hai, Xiao Mei, Xiao Yan, what about you three?" Ye Yuanshan looked at them impassively.

"Grandfather, Xiao Yan lives as a member of the Ye Family and will die as its ghost. Whatever decision you make, Xiao Yan will have no complaints," said Qin Yan smartly.

Gu Mei looked down, glancing sideways at Ye Wenhai.

After a moment’s thought, Ye Wenhai stepped forward and said, "Wen Hai follows grandfather’s decision."

"And you two?"

Ye Yuanshan then asked Ye Long and Ye Cang.

"Old Grandpa, Xiao Long just wants justice!"

Ye Long, lying on the stretcher, met Ye Yuanshan’s gaze unflinchingly, and spoke slowly, his voice loud and clear, not hiding his hatred for Ye Fan!
