Chapter 382: 341 The First Young Master (Make up for the first missed update)

With the advent of the information society, the speed of information dissemination was unimaginable to people.

The news that Ye Fan was safe and unharmed spread throughout the entire elite society of Yanjing almost instantly through Xue San Yue, and then like a spark starting a prairie fire, it spread across the elite circles of Huaxia.

For a time, the entire elite of Huaxia was once again sensationalized by the name Ye Fan!

Even this sensation exceeded the one that occurred when Ye Fan personally sent Young Master Bai, Bai Luo, to prison.

Because, in the eyes of those elites, after all, Ye Fan was merely a bastard son of Ye Wenhao, whereas Ye Long and Ye Cang were the legitimate sons of the Ye Family; it made no sense for the elderly of the Ye Family to favor a bastard son.

Moreover, weren’t Ye Fan’s methods frighteningly ruthless?

The morning of the third day after Ye Fan had cut off Ye Cang’s finger and crippled Ye Long, a line of cars arrived at the Hong Ding Club headquarters located on Chang’an Street, among them a few luxury cars, but most were mid-range sedans with special license plates.

At eight o’clock, in a small conference room on the top floor of the Hong Ding Club, twenty-one young people gathered, sitting around an oval table.

At a glance, in the small conference room, two seats were empty, one at the head, which was the position of Chairman Bai Luo, and the other on the left of the head position, which had been the position of Guan Yi, the former Vice Flag Bearer of the Bai Family Faction and the Vice-Chairman and East Sea Division Chairman of the Hong Ding Club, Guan Lin.

Apart from the two of them, the other twenty-one core members of the Hong Ding Club were all present, with very solemn expressions.

"I’m sure you are all aware of Ye Fan’s situation by now, today, we have gathered here because of this matter."

In the quiet conference room, a voice spoke.

The person who spoke sat on the right side of the head position, a young man wearing glasses with fair skin.

His surname was Li, and his given name was Yinzhen, a member of the Beijing Li Family, nicknamed Greedy Wolf, who was a standing Vice-Chairman of the Hong Ding Club and played the role of military strategist in the club, his status only second to the club’s founder, Bai Luo.

As Li Yinzhen’s voice fell, the expressions of those core members of the Hong Ding Club grew even more solemn.

"Next, let Xue San Yue speak about the situation when he met Ye Fan last night." Li Yinzhen looked around at everyone, then spoke again.

"Gentlemen, last night I encountered Ye Fan at Hua Fu First Class, along with his spokesperson in the underworld, Pan Jueming, and Pan Jueming’s cousin, Pan Xiaolu, and sister, Pan Ying."

Xue San Yue quickly took over the conversation, his voice trembling as he spoke under the watchful eyes of the audience, "Just like the news I sent out last night, Ye Fan seemed not to have been punished by the Ye Family, and even Pan Jueming and the siblings Pan Ying were unharmed. I’m not ashamed to admit, the shock I felt at that moment was simply indescribable."

Shock, was it?

Including Li Yinzhen, the other twenty members of Hong Ding Club could completely sympathize with Xue San Yue’s feelings at that time.

"This incident seems to be an isolated event, but linking it to the events of the night before last, it provides us with a lot of information, now, please share your thoughts," Li Yinzhen said, following Xue San Yue’s remarks.

"Ye Fan cut off one of Ye Cang’s fingers at Qingshui No.1, crippled Ye Long, and ruined his Kung Fu skills on the night before last, yet was not punished by the Ye Family. I think there is only one possibility, Ye Wenhao stepped in to protect him."

"I also think that if Wenhao doesn’t come forward to protect him, the Ye Family will definitely not let him off lightly,"

"Under these circumstances, Wenhao’s ability to protect Ye Fan sufficiently proves his high status in the Ye Family. In other words, Wenhao has now completely become the third-generation successor of the Ye Family."

"I agree, and I would like to add that as everyone knows, Ye Long is not only the eldest son of the fourth generation of the Ye Family, but also the second-ranked genius of the younger generation in the Yanhuang Organization. Thus, Ye Fan injuring Ye Long, crippling his Kung Fu, and going against the regulations of the Yanhuang Organization, and still being unharmed, indicates that the Yanhuang Organization did not pursue Ye Fan’s responsibility. Personally, I believe this was because the Ye Family intervened."

"I agree with their views."

"I also agree."

...

Soon, the discussion ended, and aside from Li Yinzhen, the opinions of the other twenty core members of the Yanhuang Organization reached consensus.

"Everything that needed to be said has been said comprehensively, so I won’t add anything,"

Li Yinzhen spoke again, indirectly agreeing with everyone’s views, before asking, "Next, let’s discuss how we should deal with Ye Fan going forward."

"I think it’s unnecessary to discuss any further; we are simply no match for him,"

"Yes, first the chairman was personally put in jail by him, and now both Ye Long and Ye Cang have been injured and crippled by him—continuing to engage him is nothing but a dead end, isn’t it?"

"That’s right, initially he was just protected by Wenhao, but now that the Ye Family hasn’t punished him, they naturally treat him as an official Ye Family’s young master, which is equivalent to him gaining his latest support."

As these words were spoken, the large conference room fell silent, and everyone became mute.

Although they could not accept all this and were full of doubts, they had to admit that after this incident, Ye Fan would officially replace Bai Luo and Ye Long to become the undisputed Number One Young Master in Huaxia!

All those present, who were prominent figures in the young elite of Huaxia and whose families held notable positions in Huaxia, were insignificant in comparison to Ye Fan, the new Number One Young Master."

"At this point, we indeed cannot continue opposing him directly, but what if he actively seeks trouble with the Hong Ding Club? How should we respond then?" Noticing the helplessness of the people facing Ye Fan and thinking of last night’s conflict, Xue San Yue asked worriedly.

No one answered, and the conference room fell silent once again.

"San Yue is right. Judging from Ye Fan’s past actions, we can easily tell that he is a person who must retaliate for any slight. Anyone who offends him will face his fierce revenge; he simply does not play by the rules of compromise and balance,"

Li Yinzhen said solemnly, "We have clashed with him more than once, and no one can guarantee that he won’t attempt to wipe us out completely!"

"Chairman Li, then what do you suggest we do?"

At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned toward Li Yinzhen, known as ’Greedy Wolf’ and adept at conspiracy, their gaze filled with evident concern.

"Two words, unity! Four words, we must unite!"

Li Yinzhen’s eyes flickered, and his voice was low yet firm, "Only by uniting, making use of every resource we have, can we fend off his retaliation. Otherwise, if he divides and conquers us, then the Hong Ding Club will cease to exist!"

"Unity is definite. The problem is, should we always be suppressed by him?"

The speaker this time was a young man in military uniform, a descendant of a military family with four generations of soldiers. He was straightforward and expressed the frustration in his heart.

Frustration.

This was also the sentiment of the other core members of the Hong Ding Club.

After all, they used to be the leaders among the younger generation in Huaxia. They were the ones bullying others. Now, not only were they bullied, but they also had to swallow their broken teeth. How could they not feel frustrated?

"Since ancient times, there has been nothing absolute in this world."

Li Yinzhen gently shook his head, looking wise, "What we need to do is to temporarily avoid his sharpness. As for the future, it depends on the power shift three years later. It’s undeniable that the Ye Family Camp currently has the upper hand in the game, and Ye Wenhao is the most popular candidate. But often, the favourite faces demise. No one can guarantee that he will definitely reach the peak."

"Chairman Li, what do you mean?"

"Following the current trend, Ye Wenhao and Ye Fan are unstoppable, but good luck will not always accompany one person. Ye Fan might take the advantage once, twice, thrice, but he can’t always come out unscathed, can he? I just don’t believe that those bigwigs above would tolerate his actions over and over again!"

Li Yinzhen analyzed calmly, "To step back, even if those people above tolerate it for the sake of the Ye Family, and out of respect for the Ye Family’s old antique, but what if the Ye Family’s old antique passes away? Once he does, not to mention Ye Fan, even Ye Wenhao, the one with the highest support, will have a hard time!"

Hmm?

Hearing Li Yinzhen’s words again, everyone’s minds were stirred, and their faces brightened as if those lost in the darkness had seen a glimmer of dawn.

"Besides unity, as I just said, according to the current situation, we must temporarily avoid his sharpness!"

Noticing the change in people’s expressions, Li Yinzhen deliberately sounded a warning again, "So-called avoiding the sharpness doesn’t mean that we should not provoke him; even if he provokes us, we must endure it!"

"Understood!"

The crowd spoke in unison, feeling stifled but also knowing that this was the only way at present.

"After the meeting, the responsible person will convey the essence of the meeting. It must be conveyed to every member, and any violator will be expelled directly," Li Yinzhen added, then looked at the time and said, "Dismiss!"

Whoosh—

The crowd stood up one after another and left the meeting room.

As core members of the Hong Ding Club, who were already into society, working in the military, political, and commercial sectors, they naturally went to work as the meeting ended.

...

Meanwhile.

Arriving at her office, Qin Yan was not in the mood for work.

Since Ye Fan cut off one of Ye Cang’s fingers and crippled Ye Long, she had been waiting for a call from Ye Wenhao.

However—

Two days had passed, and Ye Wenhao had not called her, as if he was completely unaware of the incident.

"The current situation has already become quite clear, we can’t keep waiting like this!"

Qin Yan, who was initially listless in her office chair, suddenly steeled her heart, took out her mobile phone, and dialed Ye Wenhao’s private number.

For some reason, as she made the call, her heart hung in her throat, and she even held her breath, appearing extremely nervous.

"Hello."

In Qin Yan’s nervous state, the call connected, and she heard Ye Wenhao’s voice through the receiver.

"Are you busy?" Qin Yan asked.

"Is there something?" Ye Wenhao countered.

"I...I will focus more on Xiao Cang’s education in the future, making sure he corrects his ways," Qin Yan said nervously. "Could you give him another chance?"

"Let him behave himself," Ye Wenhao indirectly replied.

"Whew~"

Qin Yan exhaled in relief, thought for a moment, and said, "I would like to meet Ye Fan, to thank him for saving Xiao Cang and to have a proper discussion in hopes of resolving the conflicts between us to become a family."

"When will you stop being so opportunistic?" Ye Wenhao coldly asked.

No answer.

Qin Yan tensed up, like an actor who had torn off her mask, her true form exposed!
