Yuan Baoshan’s face was filled with anger.
He was furious.
Utterly enraged!
He slammed the table, trying to vent his frustration.
Yuan Wen, hearing the commotion from the study, hurried in and asked Yuan Baoshan with concern, "Dad… what's wrong?"
Yuan Baoshan angrily replied, "The person we sent to track Chen Fan has been discovered!"
He was so angry he couldn't even be bothered to name the person.
In his fury, Yuan Baoshan slammed the table a few more times.
Venting.
He was extremely angry.
Seeing this, Yuan Wen quickly said, "Dad, please calm down, your health is more important!"
"Don't get yourself worked up over some irrelevant person. It wouldn't be worth it!"
"Dad…"
Yuan Baoshan could still listen to a little of what Yuan Wen said.
After a pause, the anger on his face subsided a bit, but his brow remained furrowed.
A moment later, he let out a long, heavy sigh.
Yuan Wen poured some tea for Yuan Baoshan.
"Dad, calm down, have some tea first!"
Yuan Baoshan nodded, took the cup, and took a light sip. "What a useless person. He can't even handle such a small matter. He's truly disgraced me!"
"How will the Chen Clan members look at us from now on?"
"Are the Yuan family all just a bunch of trash?"
Yuan Wen wanted to say it wasn't that exaggerated, but then again, Yuan Baoshan's concerns were reasonable.
"Dad, calm down. If one person fails, we can send more!"
"That way, we'll always know what Chen Fan is doing!"
"What do you think?"
Yuan Baoshan mentioned, "Spreading the net is indeed a good idea, but have you considered the consequences of angering Chen Fan by doing so?"
"Given Chen Fan's personality, I believe he will retaliate against our Yuan family!"
"At that point, the consequences might be dire!"
"What do you say?"
After all, no one wants to be watched.
That would mean no privacy.
Furthermore, Chen Fan was a Grandmaster-level expert, making him even less willing to be controlled.
Yuan Wen understood Yuan Baoshan's meaning and sighed inwardly. "If we don't do this, we might not have any other options!"
"Sigh…"
"In that case, we won't be able to complete the mission assigned to us by the Chen Clan's experts!"
"Moreover, they will inevitably be disappointed!"
"And another thing, without the Chen Clan's protection, our entire Yuan family is very likely to head downhill!"
"At that point, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven to regain our standing!"
"Dad, think thrice!"
Yuan Baoshan knew these words by heart.
He sighed heavily.
He understood it just as well.
Alas…
After a while, Yuan Baoshan sighed, "It seems our plan can only continue as it is. If one person fails, we'll send more to monitor Chen Fan, as this is the Chen Clan's order!"
"Yes… that's precisely the logic!"
The Yuan family had finally boarded the Chen Clan's grand ship, and they naturally didn't want to be unceremoniously kicked off and separated from it.
Their goal was to leverage the Chen Clan's influence to gain more and more benefits.
By now, Yuan Baoshan had come to his senses and said casually, "Alright, let's do as you say!"
"Continue to spread the net in Lin City!"
