"Liu Piaoxu? You, how can you be here?"
Zhao Danfeng and Wu Liuding were shocked, their eyes filled with surprise.
They would never have dreamed that Wang Qingfeng, who had always been by their side and plotting with them, was actually Liu Piaoxu.
Miss Liu let out a cold laugh, her stunningly beautiful face etched with frost.
"Wang Qingfeng has always been me; you just never noticed. I know everything the few families have been doing all these years. The reason I haven't eliminated you is that I was waiting for an opportunity."
A shocking secret was revealed by Liu Piaoxu, leaving everyone stunned.
If this news were to spread, it would likely cause a huge uproar in Jiangcheng.
The fact that Liu Piaoxu chose to reveal it at this moment indicated that she completely trusted everyone present.
"How can this be? This is impossible, absolutely impossible."
Zhao Danfeng was on the verge of collapse. Her plan had been flawless, but she discovered that she had been played like a fool. As the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, how could she accept this?
Watching Zhao Danfeng's frantic state, Ye Fan snorted coldly, while Liu Piaoxu's eyes remained indifferent.
On the other hand, Chen Fei stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Miss, what exactly is going on? How did you become Wang Qingfeng?"
He truly couldn't understand it, and the changes had happened so quickly that his mind couldn't keep up.
Liu Piaoxu didn't say anything, but Shen Bao stepped forward with a smile and said joyfully, "This was all our plan."
Chen Fei frowned, confused. "Plan? What plan?"
The only order he had received was to support Ye Fan; he knew nothing else.
Shen Bao smiled mysteriously. "Actually, this plan is very simple. Before we came here, Miss Liu already knew that Liu Cheng was part of the Liu Yuan family and had also revealed his secret identity as Wang Qingfeng. From this, we learned about the secrets of the Liu Yuan family. However, we didn't immediately expose them. Instead, we played along, followed them here, and then defeated them in one fell swoop."
He simply explained the plan to Chen Fei.
"Actually, if the Liu Yuan family hadn't had ulterior motives, we wouldn't have killed them. It's a pity he was too dark-hearted. We had no choice but to eliminate him. It's fate, I suppose."
In the end, Shen Bao sighed. While killing wasn't difficult for him, the person involved was the young master of the Liu family.
His death here would likely shake the entire Liu family.
Chen Fei nodded and then looked at Liu Piaoxu, saying, "Miss is indeed unpredictable."
This was a bit of flattery.
"Alright, the necessary matters have been resolved. Next, we need to arrange for these things to be taken back. Piaoxu, you should return to Jiangcheng first. I still need to stay here to wait for that shipment and see what City Lord Lin is up to."
After calmly giving Liu Piaoxu a few instructions, Ye Fan returned to Tianping Town with Shen Bao and the others.
This night had been thrilling and full of twists and turns. Even though they knew the plan, Ye Fan and Shen Bao felt exhausted.
If they felt this way, it was even more so for Mr. Sun and the others.
Upon returning to the inn, they washed up and immediately fell asleep, not waking until noon the next day.
"Young Master Ye, the food is ready. Come down quickly," Lu Sheng said with a broad smile, climbing the stairs to knock on the door of Ye Fan's room.
Ye Fan stretched his limbs before slowly descending the stairs with Shen Bao.
"Chen Fei? Why haven't you left?" Shen Bao asked, confused, seeing Chen Fei sitting at the table.
Chen Fei quickly got up and respectfully approached Ye Fan.
"Brother Ye, Miss instructed me to stay and help you. Furthermore, Miss told me to warn you that City Lord Lin is extremely cunning. This whole incident is likely his trap, so you must be extremely careful. He is waiting for your safe return to Jiangcheng."
After relaying Liu Piaoxu's words, Chen Fei's respect for Ye Fan grew.
To be cared for so much by Miss, it seemed that good things were not far off for Ye Fan and Miss.
Ye Fan nodded. "Let's eat first."
Lu Sheng had prepared a feast. He had also benefited greatly from this situation. Knowing Ye Fan's promise, Liu Piaoxu had specifically sent some of the treasure over.
Although this was only a fraction of the treasure, it was still an astronomical sum for Lu Sheng, enough to ensure he lived a life of comfort and wealth for the rest of his days.
Mr. Sun, Chen Fei, Lu Sheng, and others all joined the table.
"Brother Ye, now that President Zheng is dead and the members of the Dark Alliance have been dealt with, will that shipment still be delivered?" Mr. Sun asked Ye Fan, frowning.
He had heard about this matter from Zheng Zhiyuan before, but given the current situation, it seemed unnecessary to proceed.
However, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Given Lin Yue's personality, he certainly won't give up so easily. Besides, this plan cost a lot to formulate. Why would he give up so easily?"
Lin Yue was not foolish or crazy. If he were to abandon something he had planned for so long so easily, it would not only waste manpower and resources but also be a great loss. Therefore, even with Zheng Zhiyuan's death, Lin Yue would definitely ensure his plan continued.
Seeing Ye Fan's certainty, Mr. Sun and the others nodded.
"By the way, Brother Lu, please keep an eye on the movements in Tianping Town. I suspect those people will settle down first after entering Tianping Town, observe for a while, and then contact me."
Not knowing Lin Yue's specific plan, Ye Fan had to be prepared for all eventualities so as not to be at a disadvantage.
"Okay, I'll handle this. There won't be any problems," Lu Sheng said, patting his chest. As a local in Tianping Town, gathering information was easy for him.
The few of them enjoyed their lunch, chatting and laughing, feeling very satisfied.
Having survived a great disaster, they were blessed with good fortune. This meal was truly comforting.
That afternoon, Ye Fan indeed received a call from Lin Yue, who inquired about the cause of death of Zheng Zhiyuan and Liu Yuan, and then instructed Ye Fan to complete the mission assigned by his superiors without any mistakes.
Ye Fan confidently agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Fan's lips curled into a cold smile. "Lin Yue, the real competition between us is just beginning..."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Shen Bao felt a chill run down his spine, as if the temperature in the room had dropped significantly.
"Ye Fan, although Lin Yue is treacherous and ruthless, he has done many good deeds for the people of Jiangcheng during his years as city lord. Can I beg you not to spare him?"
Seeing the terrifying coldness in Ye Fan's eyes, Shen Bao knew the outcome.
Even if Lin Yue was the city lord, given Ye Fan's nature, he would definitely kill him.
