Chapter 469: Chapter 417: Everyone is Drunk Except Me

The night was deep, and Ao Xiang Villa, situated in Dong Hai, bathed in silence, with only two of the enormous villas showing lights, looking particularly deserted.

In one of those villas, after having taken a bath, Situ Ruoshui didn’t, as usual, engage in meditation cultivation or play her beloved game, League of Legends. Instead, she sat in front of her computer, supporting her chin with both hands, lost in thought.

Ever since Su Liuli left without a word, and Ye Fan went to search for her, Situ Ruoshui had largely been in this state, seemingly unable to muster interest in anything, spending her days locked inside the house, barely stepping out except to eat.

"I wonder if Ye Fan brother has found Sister Liuli?"

With these thoughts in her heart, Situ Ruoshui subconsciously picked up the mobile phone on the computer desk, feeling a sudden impulse—to call Ye Fan.

In fact, over the past few days, she had felt the impulse to call Ye Fan multiple times, but had always given up in the end.

This time, however, the urge was stronger than ever, prompting her to dial Ye Fan’s number as if possessed, her pink cheeks filled with anticipation and nervousness.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later."

Soon, the pleasant voice of the service operator sounded, and the anticipation and nervousness on Situ Ruoshui’s face vanished, replaced by a faint sense of loss.

In the midst of her disappointment, Situ Ruoshui stubbornly redialed, only to be met with the same off-duty message.

Consequently, Situ Ruoshui could only toss her phone onto the computer desk, staring at the computer screen, continuing to space out.

"Should I search online to see where Ye Fan brother is?"

As she pondered, a naive idea surfaced in Situ Ruoshui’s mind.

Amused by this naive thought, Situ Ruoshui couldn’t help but giggle, then opened Internet Explorer, typed in a search site, and entered a title: Where did Ye Fan brother go?

Flash!

Situ Ruoshui clicked confirm, the screen blinked, and search results appeared.

"Why is there so much information about Ye Fan brother?"

Startled by the screen filled with web links about Ye Fan, Situ Ruoshui first blinked, then took a closer look, and her bright eyes suddenly widened in shock!

She saw a bold and glaring news headline: Unveiling Huaxia’s Biggest Gang Leader—Ye Fan!

"What’s going on?"

Full of shock, Situ Ruoshui silently questioned herself and then uncontrollably clicked on the first web link, where the page immediately flashed with a report from a well-known media outlet in Nangang about Ye Fan being Huaxia’s biggest gang leader.

Reading the content and watching the video of the report, Situ Ruoshui felt her heart pound with fear.

Although she was naive by nature, as Situ Chen’s daughter, she had been exposed to the Underworld to some extent and could guess what such a harshly worded report meant for Ye Fan!

"How could this be? Wasn’t Ye Fan brother going to find Sister Liuli? Why would he go to Southeast Asia??"

Question after question arose in her mind, and without any answers forthcoming, Situ Ruoshui instinctively clicked on other web links. She discovered that all the links were reports of the same issue, and they were all very critical, painting Ye Fan as an utterly heinous Demon King who deserved to be cast into the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

After seeing the tenth web link about Ye Fan, Situ Ruoshui turned pale, then suddenly stood up and ran out of her bedroom.

Perhaps due to her overwhelming concern and urgency, she didn’t even bother to put on slippers and rushed out of the villa barefoot.

"Miss, what’s wrong?"

At the villa’s entrance, the bodyguard saw Situ Ruoshui rushing out barefoot and in a hurry, his face changing color with alarm, as he quickly approached to ask.

He had been a bodyguard for the Situ family since Situ Chen’s time, always ensuring Situ Ruoshui’s safety.

Even though Dong Hai Gang had since changed leaders, with Ye Fan replacing Situ Chen as the one in charge, he still deep down considered Situ Ruoshui his charge, addressing her as ’Miss’ instead of ’Lady Situ’, like the other bodyguards and servants in the villa.

"I’m going to find Yu Xin!"

Situ Ruoshui said, filled with anxiety, not even stopping her stride as she dashed past the bodyguard.

"Mi... Miss, you’re not wearing shoes!"

The bodyguard called out to Situ Ruoshui’s retreating figure, only to find that she was like a whirlwind, dashing far off in the blink of an eye—now Situ Ruoshui, with Ye Fan’s help, had become an Early Innate Mage, learned Meditation Cultivation, and her physical constitution had greatly improved. When it came to speed, not to mention ordinary people, even specially trained soldiers might not be able to catch up with her.

In another villa, Su Yuxin was also not engaging in her usual meditation cultivation or dealing with company files, but was lying in bed in her pajamas, leaning against the headboard, reminiscing about the time she spent with Ye Fan in this villa.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the startled cry of the bodyguard and the sound of urgent footsteps downstairs woke Su Yuxin from her memories.

She collected her thoughts, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked out of the bedroom full of confusion.

Confused, because she knew that Situ Ruoshui had been very introverted in the past period, barely communicating with her, yet today, she had run to her place on her own initiative and even caused the bodyguard to exclaim.

Reason told her that Situ Ruoshui must have encountered some trouble, or she wouldn’t have behaved so out of character.

With confusion in tow, Su Yuxin stepped out of the villa, only to be met with the sight of Situ Ruoshui barefoot and with her hair in disarray, running up the stairs.
