Da Fa Group, operating in the shadows, was a formidable presence.
Yet, overnight, it vanished without a trace.
As if it had never existed.
This left many within the underworld bewildered…
What had happened?
What kind of bizarre affair was Da Fa Group involved in?
Good heavens…
"How could Da Fa Group just disappear?"
"Indeed!"
"This is simply too outrageous!"
"Couldn't agree more."
"A towering oak, felled so suddenly?"
"Currently, it seems entirely unreasonable!"
"Extremely, extremely unreasonable!"
"Heh… While that may be true, if they offended someone of great importance, wouldn't that make perfect sense?"
"You're right!"
"If Da Fa Group has fallen, what are we to them?"
"Better to keep our tails between our legs."
"Agreed…"
The downfall of Da Fa Group sent ripples through the underworld.
It even triggered a butterfly effect.
Many, at this critical juncture, dared not make any rash moves.
Others chose to tread cautiously.
There was no other way.
They lay low, naturally unwilling to suffer the same fate as Da Fa Group.
Meanwhile, a group from the National Security Department, upon hearing of Da Fa Group's complete annihilation, felt their scalps tingle.
These individuals had been investigating Da Fa Group recently but had to temporarily abandon their efforts due to a lack of concrete evidence.
Who would have thought that, two to three months later, Da Fa Group would simply cease to exist?
This left them all reeling!
Damn…
How could this have happened?
A young man with a crew cut spoke, "Da Fa Group was a behemoth in the underworld; how could they have been uprooted?"
"Yes, I can't quite comprehend it either!"
"We investigated for so long, searched for evidence for so long, and it all amounted to nothing?"
"It certainly seems so!"
"But then again, the fall of this group is rather satisfying, isn't it?"
"You speak the truth!"
"But I have only one thought now: who did it? Who possesses such terrifying power to directly challenge a major group?" a short-haired woman asked.
Her words drew curiosity to the faces of most present.
They nodded in agreement.
"You're just stirring up our curiosity!"
"Exactly!"
"Couldn't agree more."
"Since everyone is so curious about this matter, why don't we investigate it further?"
"Alright…"
They quickly reached an accord.
And so, they began to investigate the reasons behind Da Fa Group's disappearance.
Purely to satisfy their own curiosity.
They searched.
Chen Fan was naturally unaware that his dismantling of Da Fa Group had caused quite a stir.
At least within the underworld.
Chen Fan returned to his new home…
Xia Bingqing had been waiting for a long time and asked with a touch of annoyance, "Where were you all day? Your phone was unreachable; do you know how worried I was?"
"If you hadn't returned soon, I would have reported you to the authorities, do you understand!"
Chen Fan heard this and chuckled, remarking, "Is there any need to be so dramatic!"
"Hmph… Do I need to be?"
"What were you doing that day, you rascal? Were you out on a date with some disreputable woman? Speak up!"
