Chapter 656: Chapter 656

Yang Fan had some really complicated matters to discuss.

So complicated that not only did he need to formulate a plausible excuse for his affair with Zhang Yulan, but he also had to consider his sister-in-law’s feelings.

"Just because she said she wanted revenge on Chen Zhong, you half-heartedly agreed?" Ye Tong looked at Yang Fan with a complex expression and asked sternly, "Didn’t you consider the consequences at all?"

"At that time... well, I just got carried away, and it happened," Yang Fan said weakly.

His explanation to Ye Tong was that Zhang Yulan had found out about the secrets in Chen Zhong’s old cellphones and wanted to take revenge on him. That’s how their initial affair happened, and as their relationship progressed, Zhang Yulan gradually began to help him in various ways.

Ye Tong glared at Yang Fan, reproachfully saying, "Cause yesterday, effect today; see what’s happened now?"

"Actually, the main problem was those old cellphones. Who could have imagined Chen Zhong would be so careless? Almost every one of his old phones contained some disgraceful secrets, be it transactions with others, or videos and photos with various women," Yang Fan said helplessly.

"I discovered one and left that cellphone with Zhang Yulan. When I checked the other phones, each one had something in it. Plus, it looked like he had to change his phone every three or four months. There wasn’t much content, but it was all quite sensational."

"I was also careless at the time, I didn’t realize that all those things would bring about a disaster for me. It’s too late to say anything now. Indeed, it’s the cause of yesterday and the effect of today; something I didn’t take seriously at the time has turned into today’s greatest disaster."

There were regrets, certainly.

If he had known that something like today would happen, he would never have taken those cellphones.

But it’s too late for regrets now, if there’s anyone to blame it’s only that he didn’t consider everything thoroughly, only focused on the present without considering future troubles, thus leading to today’s disaster.

"Alright, stop looking like it’s a matter of life and death, I’m not angry. I’ve told you before, I don’t mind you seeking other women outside, it’s what I owe you. If you’ve been patient with me all this time and I still demand too much from you, that wouldn’t be right, would it?" Ye Tong gave Yang Fan a sidelong glance and said with a light, irritated laugh.

"You two have already done what you’ve done, I won’t say much about it, but the current problem is how do you plan to solve this trouble? It’s serious to the extent that avoiding it won’t work."

Yang Fan quietly sighed in relief, as if he had finally passed a major hurdle.

"Chen Zhong is now at the center of a storm, since the last assassination attempt, the police have been watching him. Moreover, Zhang Yulan hasn’t been idle these past few days, continuously exposing online the misdeeds Chen Zhong has committed," Yang Fan said.

"Chen Zhong is now just a step away from his reputation being destroyed and losing his position. I’m only worried that in desperation, Chen Zhong might attempt something even more severe against me and Zhang Yulan. After all, getting rid of us would be like getting rid of the problem at its root. He has done it before, and it’s hard to say if there won’t be a next time."

"Apart from us, what worries me more is that this whole matter could drag you and Little Mother into it. That’s why I brought her home, so if something does happen, I will be able to take care of it."

Ye Tong’s face showed a deep concern, but she didn’t blame Yang Fan. Instead, she asked, "What was that assassination attempt you encountered last time about? Tell me about it."

Yang Fan actually wanted to talk about the lighter incident involving the meal they had before.

But the injuries around his waist were difficult to conceal, so he had to say, "It was just yesterday’s incident. Some hoodlums with masks suddenly charged at us with knives. Luckily, I had a quick reaction and managed to block them."

Ye Tong’s expression suddenly tightened, "Are you hurt?"

As she spoke, she began to check Yang Fan’s body.

Quite coincidentally, Ye Tong pressed exactly at Yang Fan’s waist, causing him immediate pain and he involuntarily inhaled sharply.

"Sister-in-law, stop, stop, stop." Yang Fan hurriedly shouted, "I got a little injured, but it’s not severe, just a scratch on the waist."

Ye Tong was startled and quickly stopped her examination, gently lifting Yang Fan’s clothes to see, her face immediately showing more indignation, "Look what you’ve done, it’s too late for regrets now, does it hurt?"

"Old Sir Huang’s medical skills are excellent. If not pressed heavily, it doesn’t hurt much now. The wound isn’t very large, nor very deep," Yang Fan said with a smile.

Ye Tong glared at Yang Fan annoyed, "You still can laugh? You’ve almost worried me to death. If it were a bit deeper, it could have injured your organs, and you still feel it’s light."

"I mean it’s a blessing in disguise," Yang Fan said.

Indeed, he hadn’t been wise with his actions, and now he had to accept whatever his sister-in-law said dutifully.

"In your current condition, if Chen Zhong really sends someone again, how could you hold up?" Ye Tong said somberly, "How about this, call Zhao Wu and Da Qiang, hire them for a couple of days to stay with you in the store, no, with you all."

Da Qiang is a nickname for Wang Daqiang.

Since he is the eldest, the village people gave him this nickname.

"Sister-in-law, nothing much really happens in the town, I don’t think there’s a need for such a big fuss," Yang Fan said, "During the day, there are people coming and going in the town, they definitely wouldn’t dare to make a move, the only chance would be at night."

"Having Wang Daqiang and Zhao Wu stay over at night is also inconvenient, we have several people, even if someone climbs over the walls and breaks in, I think we should be able to handle it. My main aim now is to gather everyone together, in case anything happens, we can cope with it."

Yang Fan primarily had enough confidence in his own strength.

After these two incidents, he somewhat gained some experience.

He is indeed rather formidable in a fight.

Ye Tong looked at the tall walls of the courtyard, "Having Da Qiang and Zhao Wu stay here at night is indeed inconvenient, but we are just a few... you are a patient, the rest of us are women, although Little Mother is fierce, she is probably not very skilled at fighting either; don’t end up making us easy targets."

"Sister-in-law, don’t be too nervous. They can’t go too far, stirring up too much noise. They’ll just look for an opportunity to strike suddenly, and there won’t be too many of them," Yang Fan reassured, "Actually, this is just a precaution. Given Chen Zhong’s current situation, he shouldn’t really have the time to keep bothering us, just the immediate issues should already be enough to overwhelm him."

"I think it’s better to be safe than sorry, better safe than sorry, right? Once this is all over, it will be safe."

Ye Tong rubbed her brow with a troubled look, "Then let’s do as you say. You rest up first, I’ll discuss this with Little Mother."
