Chapter 90: Chapter 084 [Stunned]

Just as Ye Fan single-handedly annihilated Qiao Bazhi, Qu Feng, and others, the two who escaped from the Flying Peak Scenic Spot, Young Master Haotian and Xiao Jiu, arrived at the shore of West Lake, waiting for Liu Tianjun from Dong hai Gang to send someone to pick them up.

"Damn it, Nanqinghong really has no shame, actually sending One-eyed Wu Ren, Iron Fist Zhang Zhu, and Qu Feng to kidnap Miss Ruoshui!"

Xiao Jiu surveyed the surroundings and, confirming they were not being followed, couldn’t help but curse, "Two at the peak of Postnatal realm and one at Postnatal Perfection—are they not afraid of being ridiculed by others in the underworld?"

"Utilizing any means necessary to achieve their goals is Lin Tianyi’s usual way of doing things; otherwise, he wouldn’t be known as a treacherous hero!"

Situ Haotian’s brows were tightly furrowed, not appearing angry at Nanqinghong’s actions but worried about how to explain the situation to Situ Chen.

Although he had immediately reported the incident to Situ Chen after escaping and Situ Chen hadn’t blamed him over the phone but had rushed to Hanghu with men at once.

However—

He knew well what Situ Ruoshui meant to Situ Chen!

If anything were to happen to Situ Ruoshui, even though he was Situ Chen’s adopted son and being groomed as his successor, he would probably be in big trouble!

"Young Master Haotian, are you thinking about how to explain this to Mr. Situ?"

As Situ Haotian’s top confidant, Xiao Jiu might not know the complete extent of Situ Haotian’s mind but understood him well enough to guess his thoughts, especially seeing that Situ Haotian was not worried about Situ Ruoshui’s safety.

"Yes."

Situ Haotian didn’t conceal it, "My adoptive father didn’t blame me over the phone because he is too worried about Ruoshui’s safety. If anything happens to her, he definitely won’t let us off easily!"

"Young Master Haotian, I think Mr. Situ won’t do anything to us. After all, the strength of Qu Feng and the others is too strong; our men simply can’t match them," Xiao Jiu suggested.

"If we had fought hard and still failed to protect Ruoshui, that could have been acceptable."

Situ Haotian straightforwardly rejected, "If the adoptive father knows we fled without fighting and returned unscathed, he would definitely be furious with us!"

"Young Master Haotian, what do you mean?" Xiao Jiu felt a surge in his heart, but he dared not be sure.

"No matter what, we can’t let the adoptive father know we fled without fighting. Also, when we meet the adoptive father later, we must have injuries, and they can’t be minor ones!"

Situ Haotian’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he spoke in a low tone, "Only then will the adoptive father not pursue our responsibility!"

Hearing Situ Haotian’s words and catching the ruthlessness in his gaze, Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but feel terrified.

Because...he understood what Situ Haotian meant—Situ Haotian was considering self-harm to avoid punishment from Situ Chen!

Meanwhile.

A Rolls Royce Phantom, under the escort of three off-road vehicles, was speeding along on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway.

Inside the car, Situ Chen, dressed in a Tang suit, held a tobacco pipe in his right hand, continuously smoking dry tobacco, filling the entire cabin with smoke, as if it were on fire.

Despite the smoky haze, one could see that Situ Chen’s brows were deeply furrowed, his resolute square face filled with worry.

"Little Four, tell them to drive faster!"

After exhaling another thick puff of smoke, Situ Chen spoke gravely to his bodyguard and driver, Fei Si.

"Brother Chen, they’re already driving at the limit," Fei Si responded.

Hearing this, Situ Chen stopped talking and just smoked his pipe fiercely, as if he was trying to dispel his worries this way.

But—

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manage it; on the contrary, the more he tried to dispel his worries, the more intense they became, to the point of making him wish he could immediately fly to Hanghu.

"Brother Chen, I have something to say but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to say it," Fei Si said, seeing the worry and anxiety on Situ Chen’s face and hesitating a bit.

Situ Chen sighed wearily, "I know what you’re going to say. Lin Tianyi had someone kidnap Ruoshui just to use her as a bargaining chip to make me give up the Yangtze River Delta territory, or even force me to submit to him."

"Yes, Brother Chen," Fei Si nodded.

"I had thought of that."

Situ Chen, with a furrowed brow, said, "But no one can guarantee they won’t do anything to Ruoshui! Especially that scum Lin Ao Feng, who has harmed so many innocent girls. If that scum comes to Hanghu, then Ruoshui is in danger!"

Hearing Situ Chen say this, Fei Si fell silent.

He knew that Lin Ao Feng, the son of the Ruler of the Nanqinghong, Lin Tianyi, practiced a very evil Martial Arts that involved enhancing strength by harvesting yin to supplement yang.

Over the past few years, countless women have been harmed by Lin Ao Feng, most of whom were young girls—engaging in relations with virgins was most beneficial to Lin Ao Feng’s enhancement of strength!

"If anything really happens to Ruoshui, I will declare war on Nanqinghong at all costs!"

Situ Chen’s voice resounded again in the quiet cabin, his expression turning slightly ferocious, his tone utterly resolute, "Even if I can’t severely damage Nanqinghong, I must make Lin Tianyi, father and son, pay with their lives!"

Fei Si fell silent again.

He was not only Situ Chen’s bodyguard and driver but also his junior martial brother.

To be precise, Situ Chen had once been a disciple to his father, and he had turned to Situ Chen after his father’s death.

His special status let him understand Situ Chen much more than others could.

He was acutely aware of the deep shadow left by the death of Situ Ruoshui’s mother on Situ Chen, leading him to be extremely protective of Situ Ruoshui over the past few years and to place significant emphasis on her safety.

In such circumstances, if Situ Ruoshui really met with calamity or was harmed by Lin Ao Feng, Situ Chen would definitely take drastic action!

After all, if Situ Chen were to spend a huge sum of money for a bounty on the heads of Lin Tianyi and Lin Ao Feng, there would still be underground organizations from abroad that might risk being annihilated by the Yanhuang Organization to sneak into Huaxia and kill Lin Tianyi and Lin Ao Feng father and son.

However, if the Yanhuang Organization learned that Situ Chen had been in contact with foreign underground organizations, the authorities would punish him severely, rendering Situ Chen’s decades of effort futile!

This is what Situ Chen meant by ’at all costs’!

...

Situ Ruoshui didn’t know that her father, Situ Chen, was ready to go down fighting for her sake.

At this moment, she was lying on Ye Fan’s back, her eyes closed, with only the images of Ye Fan killing Qu Feng and letting One-eyed Wu Ren bleed to death filling her mind—due to her curiosity about what Ye Fan was going to do, and her concern for his safety, she hadn’t closed her eyes as Ye Fan had told her to—she only did so in fright after seeing Ye Fan sever Wu Ren’s carotid artery.

Realizing that Situ Ruoshui’s body was trembling, Ye Fan guessed that she might have peeked and couldn’t help but sigh as he took big strides toward the interior of the club.

He wanted to find a quiet room to stabilize Situ Ruoshui’s emotions first, wash off the blood stains, and then take her away from this place.

"Ye... Brother Ye Fan, are they all dead?"

Shortly after, as Ye Fan opened the door to a room at the club, Situ Ruoshui carefully opened her eyes and asked in a soft voice.

"Hmm."

Ye Fan responded softly, then undid the clothes around his waist and set Situ Ruoshui down.

Having done all this, he wiped the blood off his face.

Seeing Ye Fan’s face stained red with blood, Situ Ruoshui instinctively stepped back.

"You saw everything?"

Seeing this, Ye Fan became even more convinced of his assumption, and after giving it some thought, decided to console Situ Ruoshui; otherwise, today’s events could leave an indelible shadow on her.

Upon hearing this, Situ Ruoshui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head.

"Uh..." Ye Fan paused, smiled wryly, and said, "Did you see it or not?"

"I saw you punch that long-haired person and send him flying, and I also saw you slit that One-eyed guy’s blood vessel."

After stepping back, Situ Ruoshui wasn’t that scared anymore; rather, she blinked her bright, big eyes at Ye Fan and said, "I didn’t dare to watch what happened after that."

"Didn’t I tell you to close your eyes?" Ye Fan sighed.

Like a child who’d done something wrong, Situ Ruoshui lowered her head and spoke softly, "I’m sorry, Brother Ye Fan, I... I was worried about you, so I peeked a few times."

"Do you think I am a ruthless killer?" Hearing Situ Ruoshui say this and looking at her adorable expression, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

"No. They are the villains; they wanted to kill you, so you had to kill them," Situ Ruoshui shook her head and replied.

Perhaps not expecting such an answer from Situ Ruoshui, Ye Fan was somewhat startled.

After Situ Ruoshui spoke those words, for some reason, she no longer felt afraid; instead, she was filled with curiosity, looking at him with big, bright eyes, she asked, "Brother Ye Fan, have you learned Martial Arts?"

"Hmm." Ye Fan smiled wryly—he hadn’t expected Situ Ruoshui’s tolerance to be so strong.

"You can punch someone into the air, that’s so impressive, even more than my dad!" As Situ Ruoshui recalled the scene of Ye Fan punching Qu Feng into the air, she couldn’t help but express her admiration.

——

The quick shifts in Situ Ruoshui’s emotions left Ye Fan speechless; after some thought, he said, "If all goes well, your dad should already know you were abducted. He must be very worried, so you should call him first to let him know you’re safe. I’ll take a shower, and then I’ll take you to meet him."

"Hmm."

Situ Ruoshui nodded obediently, then gazed sincerely at Ye Fan with wide eyes and said, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Ye Fan."

"Make the phone call," Ye Fan smiled, pulling out a cellphone from his pocket and handing it over to Situ Ruoshui.

Situ Ruoshui took the phone and directly called Situ Chen.

"Hello."

As the call connected, Situ Chen’s deep voice came through the receiver... clearly, he thought the call was from the Nanqinghong people.

"Dad, it’s me!"

"Ruoshui?"

Startled to hear Situ Ruoshui’s voice, Situ Chen sat up abruptly and asked anxiously, "Where are you now?"

Situ Ruoshui glanced around the room, somewhat puzzled; previously, she had been brought here in an extended travel bag, so she had no idea where they were.

"West Lake Club."

Ye Fan spoke up to remind her; he had specifically observed the terrain upon entering, so he naturally knew the name of the club.

"Ruoshui, is there someone next to you? Did they do anything to you?" Barely hearing a man’s voice, Situ Chen’s heart immediately raced.

"Dad, I’m with Brother Ye Fan; we’re at the West Lake Club," Situ Ruoshui replied.

"Brother Ye Fan?"

"He’s a friend I met in the game, his name is Ye Fan."

As she spoke, Situ Ruoshui couldn’t help but glance at Ye Fan heading toward the bathroom, adding, "He’s the one who rescued me from those villains!"

A friend from the game?

Rescued Ruoshui from three masters, two of them at Peak-stage Postnatal and one at Postnatal Perfection?

This... How is that possible??

As Situ Ruoshui’s words echoed in his ears, even though Situ Chen was the godfather of the Yangtze River Delta Underground World and possessed excellent psychological quality, he was left utterly dumbfounded!
