Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 422 - 422 418 Descending on the African Continent

422: Chapter 418: Descending on the African Continent 422: Chapter 418: Descending on the African Continent Under Lu Xiaoman’s persuasion, Ye Fan and Mo Xiaoyan ceased their verbal sparring.

They sat down in the office, and Mo Xiaoyan reprimanded Ye Fan, “You stinky brother-in-law, how long has it been since you’ve visited my sister?

You don’t even take her out over the weekend…”

“Sister!” Lu Xiaoman called out to stop Mo Xiaoyan from continuing her interrogation.

Ye Fan looked at Lu Xiaoman apologetically and smiled, “Sister Xiaoman, recently…”

“You don’t have to explain; I’m not blaming you.

Don’t mind Xiaoyan’s nonsense,” Lu Xiaoman said in defense of Ye Fan.

Mo Xiaoyan refused to back down and exclaimed, “Sis, I’m helping you here, and you’re actually siding with him against me.

My heart is broken!”

Lu Xiaoman smiled apologetically at her sister, knowing that Mo Xiaoyan wasn’t serious.

Ye Fan said, “I may have to leave Hua Hai City for a few days after six this afternoon.”

“What?

You’re leaving Hua Hai City again?!” Mo Xiaoyan exclaimed, “Why do I feel like you’re busier than a national leader?”

Ye Fan spread his hands.

Lu Xiaoman said softly, “If you have things to take care of, go ahead.

Don’t worry about me.”

“Okay,” Ye Fan nodded and smiled at Lu Xiaoman.

Ye Fan continued chatting and laughing with Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan.

However, Mo Xiaoyan was the more active one, somewhat overshadowing the others; she spent most of the time talking to Ye Fan.

Lu Xiaoman, with a smile on her pretty face, occasionally chimed in.

The three of them seemed to be enjoying the conversation.

About half an hour later, Song Hongbing called, and Ye Fan stepped out of the office to answer.

Song Hongbing had arranged the international visa and plane ticket; the departure time was six in the afternoon.

As Ye Fan stepped out to take the call, Mo Xiaoyan sat next to Lu Xiaoman and whispered, “Sis, brother-in-law always has an air of mystery about him, should we…”

“Don’t even think about it!” Lu Xiaoman immediately shook her head to stop her, “I trust him.

If the time is right, and he can tell me, he will definitely do so.”

Mo Xiaoyan said, “But I always feel a bit uncertain.

Intuitively, I think he might be seeing other women.”

Lu Xiaoman shook her head.

Of course, she knew that Ye Fan was involved with other women; strictly speaking, he was already married.

However, she had not told Mo Xiaoyan about this.

Ye Fan had promised to give her a clear answer when he confessed to her, so she waited patiently.

Faced with Li Zhaojun, she felt she had no advantages and could not compete.

She could only wait for Ye Fan’s heartfelt decision.

After taking the call, Ye Fan returned to chat with Lu Xiaoman and Mo Xiaoyan.

They talked for another one and a half hours until Lu Xiaoman started feeling tired and stopped chatting.

Ye Fan thought about giving Zhao Lina and Tantai Wanrong a call, so he went out of the office to make the calls.

First, Ye Fan called Tantai Wanrong.

She was in the middle of a meeting, so they could only exchange a few hasty words before hanging up.

He then called Zhao Lina, and they chatted for about fifteen to twenty minutes.

During the call, Zhao Lina mentioned the new song “She Said” by the band Prisoner Two, saying that Ye Fan’s prediction was incredibly accurate, almost like divination.

After ending the call with Zhao Lina, prompted by her reminder, Ye Fan then called Shen Yan.

Ye Fan felt a bit ashamed; Shen Yan had been helping him consistently, and since the song recording was finished, he had been meaning to call her to express his thanks.

In the call with Shen Yan, Ye Fan learned that the new song “She Said” was doing as well as “Only Love.”

…

…

At five in the afternoon, driven by Lu Xiaoman to the airport, Ye Fan boarded his flight on time at six, heading for TSNY in Africa.

After more than ten hours, Ye Fan once again set foot on African soil.

Africa, for most people, first brings to mind images of poverty, desolation, vast stretches of barren land, and severe drought, leading to underdeveloped agriculture and frequent famines.

In reality, aside from the Sahara Desert, many other places in Africa are fertile lands, very suitable for crop cultivation.

Moreover, the continent is rich in underground minerals.

Thus, Africa is also known as the last virgin land for humanity, drawing increasing attention and competition among major powers.

Stepping off the plane and down the stairs, Ye Fan immediately saw a man and a woman in camouflage uniforms rush towards him with excitement.

“Boss!” they exclaimed joyfully upon reaching Ye Fan.

The man was tall and muscular with sun-darkened shiny skin, sporting a buzz cut and flashing a bright white smile.

He was called Leopard, and in Ye Fan’s absence, he led the Dragon Group’s African division.

The woman, tall and slender, had soft white skin unlike Leopard’s dark skin, delicate features, and straight shoulder-length black hair.

Her whole presence emitted a cool, metallic indifference.

However, her pretty face currently bore a rare smile as she looked up to Ye Fan admiringly.

Ye Fan nodded and said, “Leopard, Mo Shang.”

After leaving the rustic airport, Ye Fan got into a pickup truck and was driven back to the Dragon Group’s African division base by Leopard.

Throughout the drive, Ye Fan gazed out of the window, observing many Africans, and occasionally some Chinese people walking together in small groups.

China had very close ties with TSNY.

After passing the bustling Taizu Avenue and continuing north out of the city, entering the suburbs about ten miles out, they finally arrived at the Dragon Group’s African base.

Entering the base, Ye Fan went straight to the military command building, flanked by Leopard and Mo Shang.

In the car, Mo Shang had already briefed Ye Fan on the situation.

A group of backward African tribes had encircled and disrupted the progress of a copper mining project citing environmental damage, ultimately kidnapping Chinese engineers and workers.

Entering the tactical command hall, Ye Fan saw a young woman observing a sand table map; when she accidentally spotted him coming in, she immediately turned and greeted him with a smile, “Brother Ye, you’re here.”

The young woman, in her early twenties, was tall and graceful, dressed in camouflage, with healthy wheat-colored skin, delicate features, sparkling eyes, and white teeth.

She emanated a lively and vivacious air, a very appealing girl.

“Hello, Qing Luan,” Ye Fan greeted her with a nod.

Qing Luan wasn’t a member of the Dragon Group but the only daughter of the leader of the Flying Dragon Mercenary Group, which had close ties with the Dragon Group.

Although the Dragon Group held sway over many powers in Africa, they couldn’t officially reveal themselves, so many actions had to be taken through intermediaries.

For instance, this hostage rescue mission would have to be carried out in the name of the Flying Dragon Mercenary Group.
