Chapter 470: Chapter 417 Everyone is Drunk While I Alone Am Sober_2

"Ruoshui, what’s wrong with you?"

As soon as Su Yuxin’s face changed, her feet faltered, and she hastened toward Situ Ruoshui.

"Yu... Yuxin sister, it’s... it’s not good!"

Because she ran too hastily, Situ Ruoshui was somewhat breathless, looking so anxious she was nearly in tears, "Ye... Ye Fan brother, he’s in trouble!"

Whoosh!

Taken aback by what Situ Ruoshui had said, Su Yuxin’s face changed again, and she blurted out, "What happened?"

"It’s... it’s on the internet!"

As Situ Ruoshui spoke, she took a deep breath and added, "Yuxin sister, you should quickly check online!"

Without replying, Su Yuxin, with a solemn face, rushed to the study, so much so that she left Situ Ruoshui behind.

Soon, Su Yuxin entered the villa, hurried to the computer, quickly turned it on, and asked Situ Ruoshui, who followed her in, "Ruoshui, how do I find it?"

"Just search for big brother’s name online, and you can see it," Situ Ruoshui replied, her worry intensifying as she recalled the content she had seen.

Seeing this, Su Yuxin wasted no more words and immediately did as Situ Ruoshui instructed, with her heart in her throat.

"Unveiling Huaxia’s biggest underworld boss—Ye Fan!"

As the webpage loaded, the glaring, eye-catching news headline caught Su Yuxin’s attention, making her pupils dilate to their fullest as she shakily clicked the link to the news report.

Only a few seconds later, Su Yuxin turned pale, and her delicate body started to tremble slightly.

All this was because she was not only older than Situ Ruoshui but also had three years of business experience and now controlled the Yanjing division of the Tianshan Group. Her insight and experience far surpassed those of Situ Ruoshui—she understood better than Situ Ruoshui what this news report implied!

"Yu... Yuxin sister, I just tried to call Ye Fan brother, but couldn’t get through," Situ Ruoshui said, seeing Su Yuxin pick up her phone.

Su Yuxin paused but still dialed Ye Fan’s number, only to find, just as Situ Ruoshui had said, that she couldn’t get through to Ye Fan’s phone at all.

This discovery made Su Yuxin’s heart sink, and after a moment’s thought, she dialed Chu Ji’s number.

Yanjing.

In that priceless and unique courtyard, Chu Ji sat cross-legged under an ancient locust tree, engaged in Meditation Cultivation.

In the moonlight, one could see air currents enveloping her body, with Gang Qi faintly emerging from the surface, which looked quite mystical.

"Buzz, buzz~"

Suddenly, the sound of a phone vibrating broke the serenity of the courtyard.

Whoosh!

Chu Ji abruptly opened her eyes, the surrounding air currents dispersed, and the flowing Gang Qi retreated back into her body.

Because her mental hang-ups had loosened, her spiritual cultivation had advanced to a new level, allowing her to easily step into the Half-step Gang Qi realm.

To consolidate the Half-step Gang Qi realm, she had been in seclusion for the past few days, aside from calling Ye Wenhao and his son Ye Fan, and she had turned off her phone connected to the mundane world, keeping only the private phone known by a very few, including Ye Fan, on her person, so she could contact Ye Fan at any time.

Now, hearing the phone’s ring, she instinctively thought it was a call from Ye Fan, so she immediately ended her Meditation Cultivation.

"Yuxin’s call?"

Seeing that the incoming call was from Su Yuxin, Chu Ji felt a bit curious and then pressed the answer button.

"Sister Chu, do you know what happened to Ye Fan?"

Once the call connected, Su Yuxin was the first to speak, sounding very anxious, far from her usual composure when facing Sister Chu.

The irregularity in Su Yuxin’s tone deepened the curiosity and confusion in Chu Ji’s heart, prompting her to ask without hesitation, "What happened to Xiao Fan?"

"Just now..."

Seeing that Sister Chu was unaware of the matter, Su Yuxin was first taken aback, before hurriedly relaying the content of the report she had seen online to her.

Click!

Although Sister Chu had spoken on the phone with Ye Wenhao and his son, Ye Fan, a few hours earlier, she had been in deep meditation since the call ended and was therefore completely in the dark about the latest developments.

At that moment, suddenly hearing Su Yuxin’s words, Sister Chu’s heart jolted without reason—she had never dreamed that the situation would take such an abrupt turn!

"Sister Chu, just now Ruoshui and I both tried to call him, but we couldn’t get through," Su Yuxin spoke again, her voice filled with worry and even trembling slightly, "He... he hasn’t met with trouble, has he?"

"Yuxin, rest assured, he won’t be in any danger," Sister Chu came back to her senses and soothed her calmly.

"But..."

"The matter does indeed seem severe, but don’t forget that his father is the Special Chief in Southeast Asia, so for now, he is definitely safe," Sister Chu seemed to know what Su Yuxin was about to say and cut her off directly, "Besides, while the situation seems serious, don’t forget that he isn’t someone who can be easily bullied; he surely has a way out. Even if we take ten thousand steps back and assume he has no solution, the Ye Family will protect him."

Although she said this, Sister Chu was well aware that given the current situation, which was nearly a dead end, the Ye Family would definitely not step in to protect Ye Fan. At most, Ye Fan could rely on his trump card to save his life, but thinking of turning the tables was nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Really?"

While Sister Chu knew about Ye Fan’s trump card, Su Yuxin knew nothing, and so, she unusually doubted Sister Chu’s words.

"Yuxin, when has Sister Chu ever lied to you?"

Hearing this, Sister Chu offered a wry smile and soothed her, "Alright, don’t worry, wait for my news. Also, comfort Situ Ruoshui, that silly girl, and tell her not to worry too."

"I’m sorry, Sister Chu, I let my emotions get the better of me. I’ll go tell Ruoshui right away," Su Yuxin said with a hint of apology.

Sister Chu sounded a light "Mhmm," then hung up the phone and with a single leap, hurried to the door of the study.

Inside the study, Chu Xuanji, with his hair graying, lay on a rattan chair, holding a Purple Sand Pot in his left hand and fiddling with an ancient Compass in his right.

Creak!

The door opened at the sound, and Sister Chu rushed into the study frantically, "Master, Xiao Fan..."

"I’ve heard it all."

Chu Xuanji cut off Sister Chu’s words directly.

"Then you?"

Seeing the calm look on Chu Xuanji’s face, Sister Chu’s eyes widened in confusion—Chu Xuanji had previously told her that Ye Fan would change Huaxia’s landscape through the Southeast Asian storm, yet now Ye Fan had not only failed to do so but had fallen into a situation of certain death!

Without answering, Chu Xuanji set the ancient compass aside and leisurely took a sip of tea.

"Did you calculate for Xiao Fan?" Sister Chu’s gaze lingered on the ancient compass, and she realized.

Among the drunk, I alone am sober.

Chu Xuanji smiled faintly, "The show has just begun."
