Chapter 473: Chapter 420 Thunderclap Explodes

"Huff~"

Watching Ye Fan’s retreating figure, the three members of the Yanhuang Organization felt as if they had just strolled through the gates of the Ghost Sect, drenched in cold sweat and secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

"Quick... notify the people below, tell them not to stop Ye Fan, let Ye Fan go!"

The Innate Great Perfection member of the Yanhuang Organization wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then, recalling Ye Fan’s warning from moments ago, he exclaimed in alarm like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with all his fur standing on end.

In his eyes, the power that Ye Fan had just displayed meant that it would be a fool’s dream for the other Yanhuang Organization members to think of stopping Ye Fan from leaving—it was as if Ye Fan could slaughter them as easily as one would cull chickens!

"Yes, yes!"

The other two Yanhuang Organization members also snapped to their senses, and one of them promptly issued an order through the special communicator on his wrist: "Immediately notify all personnel that no one is to obstruct Ye Fan, let him leave!"

"Yes!"

In the surveillance room, the Yanhuang Organization member responsible for monitoring had been stunned by the scene of Ye Fan killing Yan Lei. Now, receiving the order, he simply responded mechanically.

As soon as the words were spoken, he swallowed hard, steadied himself, and then immediately relayed the order from the Peak stage of Innate member.

What’s going on?

Seconds later, all the staff at the Yanhuang Organization Office had received the order, and they were all as confused as monks unable to make sense of it.

Although they didn’t understand why the higher-ups would want to let Ye Fan go, the Yanhuang Organization members still carried out the order without question, allowing Ye Fan to depart.

"Director Zhou, Ye Fan has left."

The monitoring staffer saw Ye Fan walking out of the office courtyard and hastily reported to the Peak stage of Innate member who had given him the order before.

"I know."

Director Zhou replied, then ended the call with a complex expression and asked the other two Yanhuang Organization members in the interrogation room, "Ye Fan has left, what should we do now?"

After speaking, he couldn’t help but glance at the gruesome sight of Yan Lei’s death, still feeling a chill of fear—if Ye Fan had decided to go on a killing spree just now, the three of them would have followed in Yan Lei’s footsteps and reported to Yama Palace!

"Report it immediately!"

The Innate Great Perfection Yanhuang Organization member made a decision on the spot. He was the Deputy Director in charge of the office, and in Yan Lei’s absence, it was his responsibility to oversee the work.

"If the flight wasn’t delayed, the investigation team should have already arrived. Elder He also came with the team, shall we report directly to him?" the other Peak stage of Innate deputy director checked the time and suggested.

"Mhm."

The Innate Great Perfection Deputy Director agreed with the suggestion, but didn’t report immediately. Instead, he consulted with the other two deputies to discuss how to make a more favorable report.

...

Bangkok Airport.

A private jet from Yanjing landed on schedule at the airport a minute ago, with members of the investigation team from various relevant departments descending from the cabin, one by one.

Although this matter was most relevant to the Yanhuang Organization, the investigation team sent by the top leadership was not led by the Yanhuang Organization, given that it involved the appointment and removal of Ye Wenhao. Instead, the senior official responsible for cadre appointment was the team leader, and the Yanhuang Organization’s Martial Hall Elder He Yunting was the Executive Deputy Team Leader.

The two of them deplaned first, followed closely by other team members.

Not far from the parking stand, two modified Coaster minibuses were parked, and political heavyweights from the Southeast Asia Special Zone greeted the disembarking team members.

Ye Wenhao was at the forefront among them.

Although the high-level meeting had decided to suspend Ye Wenhao’s duties and investigate him, this resolution had not yet been announced.

As a result, at this moment, Ye Wenhao was still the de facto leader of the Southeast Asia Special Zone, naturally leading the other political bigwigs to welcome the investigation team.

Watching Ye Wenhao’s figure, the other political heavyweights from the Special Zone were filled with complex emotions.

Initially, they had believed that Ye Wenhao’s swift and decisive actions in calming the chaos in the Southeast Asia Underworld would establish his authority and allow him a perfect ’golden parachute’ in the Special Zone. However, they had not anticipated such a dramatic turn of events. Not only did Ye Wenhao fail to shake off the "curse" that mainland officials were unsuitable for posts in the Special Zone, but he also fell faster than any of his predecessors!

It wasn’t just them; the members of the investigation team, including He Yunting and the senior official in charge of cadre appointment, also sighed when they saw Ye Wenhao taking the lead in the reception.

To them, the scene was a profound irony for Ye Wenhao!

In the face of those gazes, Ye Wenhao maintained a calm expression and a firm and steady gait, as if he weren’t at all worried about being purged and saying a complete goodbye to the political arena.

"Minister Hu, Director He, on behalf of the Special Zone team, I welcome the investigation team to the Special Zone!"

Soon, as Minister Hu and He Yunting led the investigation team members off the plane, Ye Wenhao was right there to greet them. After shaking hands with the two leaders, he smiled broadly and extended his welcome.

Huh?

Seeing the serene smile on Ye Wenhao’s face, everyone in the investigation team, including Minister Hu and Director He, were momentarily taken aback.

Apparently, they had not expected Ye Wenhao to be able to smile at such a time!

"Sigh..."

After the moment of surprise, Minister Hu sighed softly as he looked at Ye Wenhao and then glanced at He Yunting beside him, asking, "Elder He, time is of the essence, shall we go directly to the meeting venue and head to the hotel after the meeting?"

"Beep beep..."

Just as He Yunting was about to respond to Minister Hu, the special communicator on his wrist began to beep.

"Minister Hu, let’s do as you suggested, you all get in the car first, I’ll take a call."

Ye Wenhao glanced at the calling number, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said to Minister Hu before swiftly walking to one side.

Hmm?

Watching this, whether it was the investigation group led by Minister Hu or the members of the Special Zone team headed by Ye Wenhao, they were all somewhat puzzled.

They were curious about who could be calling to make Ye Wenhao of the Yanhuang Organization, one of the most powerful elders, take it so seriously!

Even his expression had changed!

Out of curiosity, Ye Wenhao made a gesture of invitation, then led the people, along with Minister Hu, towards two modified Coaster vans. Meanwhile, Ye Wenhao walked to one side, waving his hand to cast a Soundproof Array.

"Hello."

Ye Wenhao answered the phone with a hint of puzzlement on his face.

The cause of his puzzlement was that the caller was Zhao Shengxian, Executive Deputy Director of the Yanhuang Organization Southeast Asia Special Zone Office, and not Yan Lei. According to the reporting system, if there were matters in the Southeast Asia Special Zone that needed attention, it should be Yan Lei making the report!

"Elder He, I have important intelligence to report to you..."

Zhao Shengxian, standing outside the third sub-level interrogation room of the secret prison, spoke nervously, but before he could finish, Ye Wenhao frowned and interrupted, "Where is Director Yan? If there is intelligence, why didn’t he report to me?"

"Director Yan... Director Yan is dead..." Zhao Shengxian replied nervously, his voice trembling.

"Dead?!"

Hearing this news, even Ye Wenhao, such a powerful elder of the Yanhuang Organization, was taken aback, his expression changing. Then he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Director Yan was killed by Ye Fan..."

"How... how is that possible?"

If earlier Ye Wenhao was merely surprised, now he was shocked. "Ye Fan is only at the Innate Great Success stage, how could he possibly kill Yan Lei??"

"Director He, when Ye Fan made his move, I was present along with the other two deputy directors."

As he recalled the scene of Ye Fan killing Yan Lei, Zhao Shengxian’s voice trembled slightly, "He killed Director Yan with just one strike!"

One strike to kill?

Hearing Zhao Shengxian’s words again, Ye Wenhao was completely stunned!

His eyes widened and his mouth slightly ajar, as if he had heard the most incredible thing on earth, disbelief was written all over his face!

He knew very well that Yan Lei was an invincible presence among those in the Innate Great Perfection Realm, while Ye Fan was merely a cultivator of Innate Great Success stage.

Yet now, Ye Fan had killed Yan Lei with a single strike...

The shock this brought him was indescribable!

One second, two seconds, three seconds, after a full three seconds, Ye Wenhao finally regained his composure from the extreme shock, struggling to accept what he considered an utterly impossible event, and asked as if he had seen a ghost, "What exactly happened?"

"Last night after we brought Ye Fan back to the office, he wouldn’t say anything. To prevent him from escaping, Director Zhou locked him up in the secret prison.

Just now, Director Yan led us, the three deputy directors, to interrogate Ye Fan again but ended up having a verbal altercation. Ye Fan claimed that his master, Chu Xuanji, had discovered that Director Yan was secretly colluding with Chen Feilian of the Qinghong Organization and in a fit of anger, killed Director Yan, then left the office!"

On the phone, Zhao Shengxian quickly relayed the course of action agreed upon with the other two deputy directors, neither admitting nor denying the secret collusion between Yan Lei and Chen Feilian, but instead using what Ye Fan had said to shift responsibility onto Chu Xuanji, ranked second on the Dragon Ranking.

After listening to Zhao Shengxian’s report, Ye Wenhao fell silent once more.

This time, there was no surprise on his face, just solemnity!

As one of the most powerful elders of the Yanhuang Organization, he was keenly aware of how grave the situation in Southeast Asia was—it could potentially change the future landscape of Huaxia!

In such a scenario, the Yanhuang Organization was already supposed to bear the main responsibility for this incident. Now, the secret news of Yan Lei’s collusion with the Qinghong Organization was adding insult to injury.

What’s more crucial is that this secret was uncovered by Chu Xuanji!!

"Xiao Zhao, regardless of whether Yan Lei colluded with the Qinghong Organization, we must keep it strictly confidential before we thoroughly investigate and clear this matter up. It must not be leaked!" After a long silence, Zhao Shengxian regained his senses from his contemplation and solemnly gave his instructions.

"Yes, Elder He!"

Zhao Shengxian responded immediately, knowing the severity of the situation.

Ye Wenhao no longer wasted words, ended the call, dismissed the Soundproof Array, and walked towards the Coaster vans with a slightly heavy expression.

"Elder He, what’s wrong?"

Out of respect for Ye Wenhao, Minister Hu didn’t lead anyone into the car but instead waited with Ye Wenhao and the others in front of the Coaster vans. Seeing that Ye Wenhao had a troubled expression, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Yan Lei was killed by Ye Fan."

Ye Wenhao looked at Ye Wenhao with a complex expression and spoke slowly. His voice was soft yet it struck like thunder!
