Chapter 797: Chapter 793 Officially Taking Over the Work

Fan Feipeng comforted Wang Xianzhong to be patient, but the latter gave a bitter smile and said, “Feipeng, you certainly are sitting comfortably, fishing for opportunities. I’m the one in trouble. Once Ye Fan is free, he’ll definitely target me first. So, we should grab hold of his vulnerabilities as soon as possible.”

“Besides, if we don’t take advantage of the fact that Ye Fan has just returned and the people are unsettled, and decisively strike to bring him down, it will be difficult for you to take his place once he stabilizes,” Wang Xianzhong added. “It’s not just me who would benefit.”

Inside the police station, including Fan Feipeng, many were eyeing Ye Fan’s position, a fact known by quite a few.

But now that Ye Fan had returned, many were disappointed.

Fan Feipeng confidently laughed and said, “Haha, don’t worry. As long as there really is something between Ye Fan and Xu Xiangli, I will definitely be able to gather evidence. I didn’t become the chief of criminal investigation for nothing!”

“They definitely have an affair!” Wang Xianzhong said through clenched teeth. “Otherwise, why would Ye Fan promote Xu Xiangli over me, when I am clearly more qualified in every aspect, yet I get no promotion!”

Fan Feipeng just smiled lightly, non-committal.

The two talked some more, and Fan Feipeng inquired more about Ye Fan from Wang Xianzhong.

After talking for over half an hour until past eleven at night, they finally left the nightclub together.

Ye Fan had been waiting outside and finally saw who came out with Fan Feipeng.

Seeing Wang Xianzhong, Ye Fan couldn’t help but sneer and then he turned and left.

However, although he knew Fan Feipeng and Wang Xianzhong were plotting against him, Ye Fan had no immediate plans to deal with the two and instead focused on taking over the workload again, as well as preparing for Zhao Lina to soon transfer several departments to his management.

After taking a taxi back to the Sunshine Residential Area and entering his house, Wei Ziling, who was watching a Korean drama, immediately came over.

“Mr. Ye, you aren’t drunk, are you?” Wei Ziling asked, reaching out to support Ye Fan.

Ye Fan smiled and said, “I’m not drunk. I didn’t drink much.”

Sitting down in the living room, Wei Ziling still brought out a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen and handed it to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan thanked her and, not wanting to reject Wei Ziling’s kindness, drank the soup.

Since it was past eleven, Ye Fan sat in the living room for a while before going to take a bath.

After the bath, he drank the nourishing tonic soup Wei Ziling had stewed and went directly to his bedroom to practice Rising Dragon Stance to absorb the medicinal effects, followed by practicing Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.

The muffled, rolling thunder coming from the open edge, although not loud, still seeped through the door.

Wei Ziling, still sitting in the living room watching the Korean drama, heard these sounds again.

Although she had gotten used to it, hearing these sounds again after a few months, she couldn’t help but let her beautiful little head wander in thought.

“Mr. Ye must be practicing again. He drinks those tonic soups or medicinal soups every day without any issues. Could he be cultivating immortality?”

As a modern young person, she had watched her fair share of TV shows and online novels about cultivation, and naturally, she couldn’t help but think in that direction about Ye Fan’s secretive behavior.

“If Mr. Ye really succeeds in his cultivation and ascends, would he take me with him? I’d be thrilled if he did, but then I would miss my mom, dad, and little brother…”

The next day, Ye Fan went to work as usual, sitting in his office and quickly reviewing documents to understand the current status of work in the three departments of the security team.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Ye Fan called out while continuing to read the files.

The door opened, and a tall, slender figure walked in, calling out softly, “Leader.”

Ye Fan paused his reading of the documents, looked up, and sure enough, it was Xu Xiangli.

She was wearing a bright smile, walking towards him in high heels with a graceful stride.

“Leader, after having so much to drink last night, did you sleep well?” Xu Xiangli asked with concern as she approached the desk.

“Yes, quite well. Thank you for asking,” Ye Fan said with a faint smile, “What can I do for you?”

“This is the work report from the public security team for the months you were away that you requested,” Xu Xiangli said, bending forward to hand over a report.

While receiving the report, Ye Fan inadvertently noticed that as Xu Xiangli bent to hand him the report, her blouse collar gaped slightly, revealing a hint of her alluring decolletage.

However, he took the report with a usual expression, glanced through it casually, and then nodded, “Not bad. Hard work must have been done.”

“Hehe, it’s what I should do,” Xu Xiangli cheerfully replied.

Ye Fan looked down and flipped through the report again, but Xu Xiangli still showed no signs of leaving.

He looked up again and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Not really,” Xu Xiangli replied, “Leader, your quilt has gotten moldy, would you like me to take it and wash it?”

“Thank you for your kind offer, but I’ll handle it myself,” Ye Fan replied.

Then, he remembered that Wang Xianzhong and Fan Feipeng were tracking him, trying to find “evidence” of an improper relationship with Xu Xiangli.

He pondered for a moment and said with some deliberation, “Xiangli, focus more on your work. When you achieve good results, it reflects well on me as your leader.”

Hearing this, Xu Xiangli’s expression slightly dimmed, and she replied in a low voice, “Understood. Thank you for your reminder, Leader. I will work even harder and more seriously in the future and won’t let you down.”

“Good. That’s the way to do it. Go on,” Ye Fan said with a smile.

“Okay. Goodbye, Leader.”

Ye Fan nodded.

Then, Xu Xiangli turned and walked out of the office.

Ye Fan continued to read his documents.

After spending two days and along with the work reports sent by the captains of the public security team, riot police, and the discipline inspection team, Ye Fan successfully took back his responsibilities for these three departments.

On the third day, Ye Fan convened a meeting with the management of these three departments to affirm their work over the past few months and also provided instructions for upcoming tasks.

This meeting marked the formal reassumption of his responsibilities in these three departments since his return.

After the meeting, it was time for lunch.

After eating, when Ye Fan returned to the staff dormitory for a rest, he finally had time to contact Mo Xiaoyan and Nie Yuling.

Mo Xiaoyan and Nie Yuling were both investing in a factory in Mingde County. Although they didn’t say it, Ye Fan understood that part of the reason they came to Mingde County was because of him.

Now that he had smoothly taken over his work and today being Friday, it was time to meet them, learn about their current situations, and see how he could be of help.

Ye Fan first called Nie Yuling, finding her easier to converse with than Mo Xiaoyan, who could be quite talkative.

Nie Yuling was very pleased to receive Ye Fan’s call, and knowing that he was working in Mingde County made her even happier, as it meant they could meet more often.
