Chapter 380: Chapter 339: Provoking the Great Bodhisattva

"What are you doing?"

Pan Xiaolu was pulled by Xu Wanfu to stop in her tracks, she forcefully tugged at her hand, but failed to pull away, and immediately said in a cold voice.

Xu Wanfu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. Now he had eliminated the word "deputy" from his title and had overcome barriers many officials couldn’t in a lifetime. Even if he wasn’t a big shot at the foot of the Imperial City, he still held some clout in the financial industry.

Pan Xiaolu, however, not only didn’t act submissively as she had before when meeting him, she even seemed disgusted, which displeased him greatly.

However—

Displeased as he was, to achieve his goal, Xu Wanfu still let go of Pan Xiaolu’s arm and smiled, "Miss Pan, as the saying goes, a chance encounter is better than a meeting by appointment. It’s fate that we meet here today. I happen to be dining with Xue San Yue. I thought you might join us for a meal and chat. As you know, given Xue San Yue’s identity, befriending him could be an opportunity for both you and the declining Pan Family."

"I’m not interested!"

Pan Xiaolu’s expression turned icy as she turned away again.

"Pan Xiaolu, as the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?" Xu Wanfu stared bleakly at the graceful silhouette of Pan Xiaolu’s back and said coldly.

No response.

Pan Xiaolu’s footsteps halted again, her pupils dilated, staring motionless ahead.

Ahead, Pan Jueming and Pan Ying were walking towards them accompanied by a young man in a Zhongshan suit, who was slightly frowning. Pan Ying had a strange expression, while Pan Jueming looked somewhat grim.

"I knew it, you’re a smart person. Come on, let’s not keep Mr. Xue waiting."

Xu Wanfu also saw Ye Fan and the two others but only glanced at them. Seeing Pan Xiaolu stop, he subconsciously thought she had changed her mind, and naturally reached out and took her arm with a smile.

"Let go of me!"

Seeing Ye Fan walking between Pan Jueming and Pan Ying, Pan Xiaolu knew Ye Fan was the benefactor Pan Jueming talked about. As she saw Ye Fan frowning, thinking he might have misunderstood her, she was wondering how to explain to him. Before she could figure it out, she felt Xu Wanfu sticking to her again and immediately shouted angrily in an attempt to break free again, but failed.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Wanfu had thought Pan Xiaolu had agreed, and seeing her not only trying to break free but also shouting at him, he grew somewhat angry, "Pan Xiaolu, with your current status, being able to accompany Mr. Xue for a drink is an honor—others couldn’t even ask for this opportunity!"

"Let her go."

This time—

Without waiting for Pan Xiaolu to respond, a deep voice sounded. Pan Jueming quickened his pace towards them, his gaze coldly fixed on Xu Wanfu as if a beast targeting its prey.

Shush!

Xu Wanfu felt as if a thunderclap had sounded beside his ear, causing his heart to tremble. He subconsciously let go, then felt embarrassed that he, a bank chairman, was intimidated by a mere shout, and thus frowned and glaring at Pan Jueming, he asked sternly, "Kid, who are you yelling at?"

"Are you alright?"

Pan Jueming ignored Xu Wanfu’s question, his gaze directed towards Pan Xiaolu.

"No...no problem." Pan Xiaolu’s complexion looked somewhat unpleasant, as if she was scared that Pan Jueming might misunderstand her, "I..."

"Pan Xiaolu, what’s got into you all of a sudden? Got caught by your little man, did you..."

Seeing Pan Xiaolu somewhat flustered in front of Pan Jueming, and recalling the earlier anomaly, Xu Wanfu naturally assumed Pan Jueming was the outsider Pan Xiaolu was having an affair with, and restored his haughty demeanor, "You, now, only deserve to be with such a pretty boy!"

"Who is he?"

Mimicking Ye Fan’s angry demeanor, Pan Jueming narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Xu Wanfu, turning to ask Pan Xiaolu at his side.

"Jueming, let it go!"

Pan Xiaolu, seeing that Pan Jueming was about to lose his temper, changed color in fright and hurriedly intervened.

Clearly, in her view, if Pan Jueming were to impulsively strike Xu Wanfu, who was known as Xu Caishen, matters would get troublesome.

"Pretty boy, thinking of starting a fight? I’ll have you know, prison food isn’t all that tasty!" Xu Wanfu scoffed disdainfully, tugging on his clothes, ready to leave.

"Who said you could go?"

Just then, another voice rang out, not loud but calm as water, yet it made Xu Wanfu stop turning around stiffly.

"You... What did you say?" Xu Wanfu followed the voice and turned his gaze to Ye Fan, who had walked up behind Pan Jueming, asking with a face full of disbelief.

With his status, even when he came to a luxurious hotel like Huafu First Class, the dining department’s manager treated him like royalty, yet now someone was not allowing him to leave...

This even made him doubt if there was something wrong with his ears!

Pan Jueming felt a tremor in his heart, and a surge of excitement flickered across his somber face.

As a Postnatal Perfect Martial Artist, his hearing was far beyond that of ordinary people; he had clearly heard the earlier exchange between Pan Xiaolu and Xu Wanfu and had a vague understanding of the situation.

The reason he had been holding back his anger and not striking was because he didn’t want to cause trouble for Ye Fan—he had come with Ye Fan, and if he were to strike someone, it could potentially draw unwanted attention to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s recent remark was enough to make his stance clear!

"Ding dong—"

At that moment, the elevator doors opened again, and a middle-aged man in a suit, accompanied by four slightly older and attractive waitstaff, stepped out, instantly spotting Xu Wanfu confronting someone.

This discovery changed his expression, and he immediately yelled, "What are you doing?"

In the midst of his shouting, the middle-aged man, disregarding his image and with a prominent beer belly, rushed over.

"Xiao Li, you’ve arrived just in time. Tell me, your hotel is supposed to be five-star, isn’t it? How can you let just anyone come in to dine?" Seeing the dining department’s manager rushing over, Xu Wanfu said, "If it’s like this, then I won’t be bringing my friends here anymore."

"Chairman Xu, please, calm down."

Hearing Xu Wanfu’s threatening words, Manager Li’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on a smiling face to apologize.

Originally, Xu Wanfu and the mysterious Mr. Xue were already dissatisfied due to a mishap with the waitstaff’s arrangement, and now with this incident occurring, if he couldn’t handle it properly to Xu Wanfu’s satisfaction, it wasn’t just him, the mere manager, at stake— even the hidden owner behind Huafu First Class Hotel would be in hot water.

"Hmph!"

Xu Wanfu snorted coldly, displaying a leadership attitude that said, ’I won’t tell you; figure it out yourself.’

Manager Li understood immediately and frowned as he asked, "What’s going on here?"

"Jue Ming, break one of his hands, no need to use Power, just snap it."

Ye Fan suddenly spoke up.

"Uh..."

Astonished by Ye Fan’s words, Manager Li was shocked, staring at Ye Fan as if he were looking at a Martian.

Xu Wanfu was also dumbfounded, blurting out, "What... what did you say??"

Whoosh!

What responded to Xu Wanfu was the sound of the air being split.

Under the lights.

Pan Jueming’s right hand suddenly waved, as if effortlessly reaching into a bag, and with lightning speed, he grabbed Xu Wanfu’s right hand.

He remembered, Xu Wanfu had grabbed his little aunt with that hand!

"You..."

Xu Wanfu trembled all over with fright, wanting to speak again.

However—

Pan Jueming didn’t give him the chance, his wrist suddenly exerted force, and with one twist!

"Crack—"

"Ow~"

With a single twist, a crisp sound rang out, Xu Wanfu’s wrist broke, and his body bent as if a fat pig stabbed with a knife, letting out a pitiful howl.

Pan Jueming, mindful of Ye Fan’s instruction, released Xu Wanfu’s broken wrist and turned back to stand in front of Ye Fan.

Click!

Manager Li was so scared that his heart skipped a beat and his Adam’s apple moved nervously. He tried to say something, but found his mind completely blank, mechanically stepping forward to help Xu Wanfu.

Meanwhile, Pan Xiaolu was just as stunned.

Because Pan Jueming’s description of Ye Fan saving Pan Ying was so mystical and exaggerated, it was hard for her to believe, and she hadn’t taken Ye Fan seriously initially.

Because of this.

When Ye Fan earlier said to Xu Wanfu, ’Who allowed you to leave?’ she was quite alarmed.

Now, seeing Pan Jueming carry out Ye Fan’s casual order without hesitation, breaking Xu Wanfu’s arm...

The shock it brought her was simply too immense... too immense!

"Could it be... could it be that he really does have a powerful background as Jueming mentioned?"

Shocked, Pan Xiaolu couldn’t help but shift her gaze to Ye Fan, her mind completely occupied by this thought.

"Manager Li... Manager Li, call security, get security up here!"

Before Pan Xiaolu could gather her thoughts, Xu Wanfu, with Manager Li’s support, staggered to his feet, his face pale, forehead beading with cold sweat, glaring at Ye Fan and Pan Jueming like a wounded beast, and began to roar.

"Okay... okay!"

Seeing this, Manager Li realized that Xu Wanfu was truly angry, so how could he delay?

"The Xue San Yue you just mentioned, is he from the Hong Ding Club?" thought Ye Fan, giving Xu Wanfu a cold look.

Hmm?

Manager Li was about to call security using his walkie-talkie, but hearing Ye Fan mention Xue San Yue’s identity, he was so startled that he stopped what he was doing, a strange thought crossing his mind: could this man be a Great Bodhisattva?

Even Manager Li, realizing from Ye Fan’s mention of Xue San Yue that Ye Fan seemed no ordinary person, how could the cunning old Xu Wanfu not realize this?

"Who are you?"

Xu Wanfu gripped his broken wrist, enduring the pain, and looked at Ye Fan with some suspicion and uncertainty.

"Notify Xue San Yue that if he doesn’t appear in front of me within one minute, then he shouldn’t bother showing up at all and instead jump straight off the seventh floor!"

Ye Fan responded indirectly, his tone seemingly casual yet carrying an irresistible force.

"Uh..."

If Ye Fan’s earlier words had merely surprised Xu Wanfu, Manager Li, and Pan Xiaolu, then at this moment, this statement had outright stunned them.

Under the lights.

They stood like petrified statues, motionless, staring at Ye Fan, who was only a short distance away: Who... who is he??
