Chapter 527 - 469: Return!

Chapter 527: Chapter 469: Return!

By ten o’clock, the rush hour for work had passed, and the number of vehicles on the street had noticeably decreased.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom was driving down the street, with the driver having lowered the sun visor, Ye Fan and Pan Jue Ming were sitting in the back seats.

Pan Jue Ming seemed still to be immersed in his previous memories, with the shock not yet having faded from his eyes and expression.

Eradicating Nanqinghong, root out the Hongwu Sect, brawling in the Dong hai Police Station...

In Pan Jue Ming’s eyes, everything Ye Fan had done could be described as earth-shattering—Situ Chen and Lin Tianyi from his life before could hardly be compared to Ye Fan.

Beyond the shock, Pan Jue Ming also felt some concern.

Although he didn’t know on what trump cards Ye Fan had relied to turn the tables, he feared that Ye Fan’s recent actions could be used as leverage by the Bai Family.

"You don’t need to worry that this will lead to consequences."

Seeing Pan Jue Ming’s expression, Ye Fan, with a bitter smile, explained through the mirror of his heart, "Compared to the previous matters, the recent one is a minor issue. Besides, they were the ones who first used torture to extract confessions, violating the rules."

"I’m sorry, Mr. Ye."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Pan Jue Ming suddenly felt very guilty.

Ye Fan was puzzled, not understanding why.

"When I was locked in the interrogation room, I wavered—at that time, Sun Jian told me you had been taken away by the Yanhuang Organization, and Old Sir Ye was critically ill..."

Pan Jue Ming looked at Ye Fan with full guilt, explaining, "At that moment, I wavered in my confidence in you. I’m sorry, I should have had unconditional trust in you."

"Didn’t you say nothing?"

Ye Fan offered a wry smile. Before he revealed his trump card, only Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji were privy to it, even Ye Wenhao had worried that Ye Fan would fail, let alone Pan Jue Ming who had merely wavered temporarily?

Despite what Ye Fan said, Pan Jue Ming’s face was still filled with self-reproach and guilt.

Seeing this, Ye Fan thought for a moment, changed the subject, and said, "Jue Ming, aren’t you curious about the trump card that helped me turn the tables?"

"Curious," Pan Jue Ming inevitably had his curiosity piqued and subconsciously nodded his head.

"I am a disciple of Chu Xuanji. When the destroy virus outbreak occurred, humanity faced its greatest calamity in history, and my master Chu Xuanji came down the mountain to save the world. However, the antidote to resist the destroy virus was developed by me. Moreover, the destroy virus will break out again in ten years, and I have already developed an antidote that will completely eradicate the destroy virus!" Ye Fan revealed the secret. "Besides that, I also cast a spell to add one year to Old Sir Ye Yuanshan’s lifespan, so I was able to easily reverse the situation and turn the tables completely."

Mr. Ye was once the Savior?

And... he has the power to decide the future survivalt of humanity?!

Pan Jue Ming was stunned.

He stared at Ye Fan with wide eyes, motionless, his brain having stopped functioning.

"Now you’re not worried about the recent events implicating me, are you?" Ye Fan chuckled.

Pan Jue Ming shook his head frantically.

With his vision and mindset, even though he couldn’t understand the significance of the trump card Ye Fan held like Yan and Number One did, he believed that even if Ye Fan had just killed Sun Jian, he definitely wouldn’t have gotten into trouble—Sun Jian’s life compared to the survival of humanity was simply too insignificant!

Feeling touched by this realization, Pan Jueming’s heart was filled with emotion!

Touched that Ye Fan had personally gone to the Dong hai Police Station to save him, to stand up for him, and even more touched that Ye Fan would share such an important secret and trump card with him!

As he was moved by these thoughts, his eyes reddened once more, his mouth slightly open, but he didn’t utter the words "thank you."

Because.

He remembered something Ye Fan had once said to him: I treat you as a brother; between us, there is no need for thanks!

"Although I hold this trump card in my hand, it does not mean that we can do whatever we want—If others do not offend me, I won’t offend them; if others do offend me, we will repay it tenfold. This will be our principle for handling things from now on."

Seeing the moved expression on Pan Jueming’s face, Ye Fan smiled and reminded him but didn’t share the other hidden details—that to save Pan Jueming, he had entrusted Yan to prove that Pan Jueming was also an agent of the Yanhuang Organization. However, Yan had put forward a condition, requiring him not to actively trample on Huaxia’s laws and the Yanhuang Organization’s regulations in the future!

"Got it, I understand!"

Pan Jueming nodded repeatedly, understanding that if it wasn’t for Nanqinghong and the Bai Family forcing Ye Wenhao into a corner this time, Ye Fan, following his usual way of doing things, would never reveal his trump card and strike back with such rule-breaking force!

"Right, Mr. Ye, when I was taken away, Lady Su and Miss Ruoshui were also taken. Are they okay?" All of a sudden, Pan Jueming thought of the day they were taken away and couldn’t help asking.

"They’re fine, they were released the next day."

Ye Fan shook his head with an apologetic tone—since he left Dong hai to find Su Liuli, one thing followed another, and he had entirely failed to contact either Su Yuxin or Situ Ruoshui.

...

Ao Xiang Villa.

In the garden of the villa where Ye Fan had once stayed, Little Wolf lay beside the jade stone infused with Essence Qi, as usual, looking toward the villa’s entrance with a somewhat sorrowful gaze.

"Little Wolf, don’t be sad. Sister Chu called last night to say that big brother is fine now, and he might even return today, you know."

Situ Ruoshui sat on the lawn, gently stroking Little Wolf’s fur and spoke with a joyful smile. The smile on her face was as bright and radiant as the rising sun.

"Awoo!"

Little Wolf couldn’t understand Situ Ruoshui’s words, but he could feel her excitement. He howled at Situ Ruoshui in dissatisfaction, as if to say: The master hasn’t returned, and I, the old wolf, am annoyed. Go away!

Situ Ruoshui was startled by Little Wolf’s howl at first, then she became huffy and grabbed Little Wolf’s two ears, communicating with him through the mind: "I know the news about big brother, your master."

"Awooo~"

Little Wolf, initially unhappy at having his ears grabbed by Situ Ruoshui, was taken aback upon receiving the information she conveyed. First, he paused, then as if injected with excitement, his laziness vanished without a trace, replaced by an ecstatic demeanor.

After howling, he excitedly stuck out his tongue, licking Situ Ruoshui’s fair hand in an ingratiating manner.

"Hmph, you just howled at me; I won’t tell you now." Situ Ruoshui let go and communicated with Little Wolf again using her mind.

"Whine whine..."

Little Wolf, anxious, spun around on the spot a few times, then knelt at Situ Ruoshui’s feet, hugging her legs with his front paws, apologizing and pleading.

"Scared now, huh? Will you howl at me again in the future?" Situ Ruoshui, puffing out her ample 36D chest proudly, asked.

"Whimper~"

Little Wolf shook its head as if to say, "If I ever howl at you again, I’m a dog!"

"Alright, seeing how pitiful you look, I’ll tell you—your master will be back today!" Situ Ruoshui said with a smile as she conveyed the message.

"Aoouu!!"

Little Wolf howled excitedly and, with a powerful leap, sprang nearly ten meters away. Its momentum was even more terrifying than a starving tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Is... is that really a wolf?"

Situ Ruoshui was seeing Little Wolf’s full-speed burst for the first time and was momentarily dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, Little Wolf, where are you going?"

By the time Situ Ruoshui came back to her senses, Little Wolf had already dashed excitedly out of the yard, with her calling out from behind.

Without a response, Little Wolf kept howling excitedly while running at full speed toward the entrance of the villa.

As Situ Ruoshui chased out of the villa, she saw this scene but chose not to continue pursuing, instead quietly sighing at the deep bond between Little Wolf and Ye Fan.

After her reflection, Situ Ruoshui turned back to the villa where Su Yuxin was staying—she had been living with Su Yuxin since Ye Fan’s incident.

Inside the villa, Su Yuxin, having heard from Chu Ji that Ye Fan might return today, had specially changed her clothes and was pacing back and forth in the living room with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. Seeing Situ Ruoshui enter, she asked, "Ruoshui, what’s with Little Wolf? Why is it howling and barking?"

"I told it that big brother would come back today," Situ Ruoshui replied with a smile.

"Uh... "

Upon hearing this, Su Yuxin was initially startled, then she forced a smile and said, "I almost forgot, you’re an Early Innate Mage, capable of communicating with animals through telepathy, and Little Wolf, being much more spiritual than ordinary animals, can understand your message."

"Sister Yuxin, didn’t Sister Chu say big brother would come back today? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? And why hasn’t big brother called us?" Situ Ruoshui’s cute face was filled with confusion.

"If Sister Chu said he would come back, then he should," Su Yuxin explained with a bitter smile. "As for the phone call, according to Sister Chu, his call had been monitored before, so he couldn’t make one. Now that things have settled down, given his character, he’s probably blaming himself and decided not to call. He’ll explain when he sees us."

"I see... Sister Yuxin, you really understand big brother well," Situ Ruoshui said, suddenly enlightened, followed by an envious remark.

Hearing Situ Ruoshui’s words and seeing her envious expression, Su Yuxin knew Situ Ruoshui was making a double entendre and didn’t know how to respond for the moment.

"Aoow~ Aoow~"

Just then, the previously quiet villa resounded once more with Little Wolf’s howling, which now was much louder and incessant.

"Sister Yuxin, could it be that big brother has returned??" Situ Ruoshui thought to herself.

"Possibly!"

Said Su Yuxin as she hurriedly ran out of the villa, with Situ Ruoshui following closely behind.

Meanwhile.

Little Wolf, sensing Ye Fan’s aura, excitedly dashed out of the villa’s main gate, running toward the approaching Rolls-Royce Phantom.

"Stop the car!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly gave the order.

"Screech~"

The driver hit the brakes, and the tires screeched against the pavement, leaving a clear streak of tire marks.

The car came to a stop, and Ye Fan got out.

"Aoouu!!"

Little Wolf let out an earth-shaking howl, then pushed its speed to the limit. In a blink of an eye, it was in front of Ye Fan and leapt at him, aiming to give Ye Fan a solid wolf hug.

"It hasn’t been that long since I’ve seen you, yet you’ve not only grown taller and stronger, but both your speed and strength have significantly increased," Ye Fan said, allowing Little Wolf to hug him and stroking its head while contemplatively speaking. "You must have also benefited indirectly from absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi through the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array."

Without responding, Little Wolf rested its front limbs on Ye Fan’s shoulders and affectionately licked his face, drooling all over him.

Ye Fan was caught between laughter and tears but didn’t stop Little Wolf. At the same time, he clearly sensed Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui’s presence rushing towards him. He then turned his gaze towards the entrance of the villa.

A moment later, Ye Fan saw Su Yuxin’s Mercedes S700 drive out of the villa, approaching him. The excited expressions on both Su Yuxin and Situ Ruoshui’s faces were clearly visible.

"Big brother!"

Their voices arrived ahead of the car.

From inside the Mercedes S700, Situ Ruoshui stuck her head out the window and called out loudly.

Ye Fan patted Little Wolf’s cheek, and after Little Wolf got down, he stepped forward to greet them.

"Screech~"

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard again as the Mercedes S700 came to a steady stop beside Ye Fan.

"Big brother, you’re finally back!"

Situ Ruoshui excitedly wrapped her arms around Ye Fan’s arm as she got out of the car.

"I’m back," Ye Fan replied.

Su Yuxin also got out of the car and walked up to Ye Fan’s side. She didn’t embrace him as Situ Ruoshui had; she just gazed at him intently, the excitement on her face no less than that on Situ Ruoshui’s.

"Hmm."

Ye Fan nodded, and then said apologetically, "I’m sorry, I should have called you."

"You must have had your reasons for doing so," Su Yuxin said with a smile, shaking her head affectionately. "It’s good that you’re back."
