After resolving the matters at Xin Yue Zhai, Ye Fan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. In this Taiping Town, everything had been settled.
On the same day, the Wang family members departed with Wang Pengyun and Wang Pengyu for Jiangcheng.
Ye Fan did not accompany them, needing to avoid suspicion, and chose to remain in Taiping Town.
It wasn't until three days later, after receiving a call from Shen Bao, that Ye Fan drove back to Jiangcheng.
Without alarming anyone, Ye Fan returned quietly.
At Bo Gu Zhai, Ye Fan's return brought immense joy to everyone, especially Shen Tianyin. During Ye Fan's absence, Shen Tianyin had been in constant worry, visibly having lost a lot of weight.
Shen Bao, Old Sun, and others had also arrived.
After comforting Shen Tianyin, Ye Fan turned around seriously.
"Second Brother, what is the current situation in Jiangcheng?"
On the phone, Shen Bao had only given Ye Fan a brief overview, not going into detail.
"Currently, the entire Jiangcheng has fallen into chaos. After the Wang family's scoundrels entered Jiangcheng, they showed no discrimination, rushing towards anything good like hungry wolves, causing everyone in Jiangcheng to fear for their lives and stay indoors."
"What about the City Lord's Mansion?"
Shen Bao's face darkened, growing increasingly angry. "There are negative rumors about Lin Yue circulating everywhere, causing the City Lord's Mansion's status to plummet. However, the Wang family has not yet moved against the City Lord's Mansion, focusing solely on making a fortune. Therefore, Lin Yue is currently hiding in the City Lord's Mansion, quite safe. Furthermore, most of the subordinates belonging to the City Lord's Mansion have returned and are guarding the safety of the City Lord's Mansion. In my opinion, with the Wang family's actions, they may not be able to win if they try to move against Lin Yue."
Analyzing the situation with a professional eye, Shen Bao's expression grew more somber.
"Detestable."
Ye Fan clenched his fists. These Wang brothers were truly incapable of accomplishing anything but ruining things. If he had known this, he would have dealt with them in Taiping Town.
A trace of icy killing intent flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Ye Fan's heart was also gradually growing cold.
"Ye Fan, the Wang family's influence in Jiangcheng is immense now. Many minor factions have already pledged allegiance to them. To deal with them, with our strength alone..."
Shen Bao showed a look of difficulty on his face.
Clearly, the rampant behavior of the Wang brothers made people hesitant.
Just then, Old Ji rushed in. Without time to greet Ye Fan, he urgently said to Shen Tianyin, "Second Miss, someone is causing trouble at Tian Yin Pavilion."
Upon hearing Old Ji's words, everyone stood up.
"Old Ji, don't rush. What exactly happened?"
Shen Tianyin was no longer the naive Second Miss she once was. Her expression was calm, mature, and steady.
After taking a few sips of tea, Old Ji caught his breath and said gravely, "This morning, people from the Wang family came to Tian Yin Pavilion, claiming to borrow our treasures for appraisal. I politely refused them, but they were unreasonable, threatening to tear down our Tian Yin Pavilion if we did not hand over the treasures. Currently, our employees are confronting them, and I took the opportunity to come out to find you, Second Miss."
*Bang~*
Shen Bao slammed his fist onto the table.
"The Wang family, this is too much."
When they were in Taiping Town, he had a poor impression of the Wang family. Although the Great Elder greatly valued Ye Fan, the wicked character of the Wang family was already ingrained in their bones, something that the Great Elder alone could not change.
"Let's go take a look."
Ye Fan's face was grim, carrying an icy aura. He led the group towards Tian Yin Pavilion.
Inside Tian Yin Pavilion at that moment, several young members of the Wang family were acting arrogantly.
"You scoundrels, if you're sensible, hand over your treasures obediently, otherwise, once we make a move, your Tian Yin Pavilion will be in jeopardy."
The young man leading the group was full of pride, extremely arrogant, and did not put anyone in his eyes.
Originally, they followed Wang Pengyun and Wang Pengyu to Jiangcheng, thinking it would be a difficult mission. However, upon arriving in Jiangcheng, they discovered that here, they were like gods, able to do as they pleased.
Human nature was exposed at this moment.
The employee's face was grim, holding a mop. "This is Jiangcheng, not a place for you to flaunt your power."
He felt proud as a member of Tian Yin Pavilion and could not tolerate anyone bullying their establishment at this time.
Hearing the employee's words, the young Wang family members burst into laughter.
"Brothers, did you hear that? This brat actually told us not to be presumptuous. He really scared me."
"Brother Tianlong, you are a direct descendant of our Wang family. I didn't expect that in a small place like Jiangcheng, someone would dare to speak to you like this. If we don't teach him a lesson, not only will Brother Tianlong lose face, but our Wang family will also lose face."
"Yes, who does this brat think he is? He dares to question Brother Tianlong?"
"Teach him a lesson and let him know he can't provoke just anyone."
The young men egged each other on, and the leading young man's face immediately darkened.
A sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, stopping everyone.
Then, he looked at the employee and said, "Brat, I can give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow to me, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I will teach you a good lesson today."
Wang Tianlong was a direct descendant of the Wang family. Although not among the top positions, his status was equally noble.
Generally speaking, in a large family like the Wang family, status and hierarchy were highly valued, and one must not defy superiors.
The employee's face was also grim. Although he knew that people like Wang Tianlong were of extraordinary status, this was Jiangcheng, not Jiangnan City. Moreover, Tian Yin Pavilion was his sole belief, and he would not allow anyone to trample on it.
"You want me to kneel? Only if you step over my corpse. In Jiangcheng, your Wang family is nothing."
The employee's voice was sonorous, and his unyielding aura instantly erupted, causing the Wang family members to freeze for a moment.
The other employees behind him applauded and cheered.
What these people in Jiangcheng lacked was such fearless spirit. If everyone had this spirit, the Wang family would probably not dare to be so arrogant.
"Well said. I didn't expect to hear such bold words at Tian Yin Pavilion. This is a blessing for our Jiangcheng."
Ye Fan's voice came from outside.
Pushing through the onlookers, Ye Fan and the others walked into the shop.
Upon seeing Ye Fan and the others enter, Wang Tianlong was slightly stunned but still let out an arrogant cold snort.
He did not recognize Ye Fan. In the Wang family, apart from Wang Pengyu, Wang Pengyu, and a few others like the Great Elder, most people had never seen Ye Fan.
Therefore, seeing Ye Fan at this moment, Wang Tianlong instinctively assumed he was just there to help out.
Ye Fan indifferently looked Wang Tianlong up and down and shook his head. Such a small fry dared to be so arrogant. It seemed the Wang family was truly rotten to the core.
"Whose subordinate are you? Wang Pengyu or Wang Pengyun?"
Hearing Ye Fan mention these two, Wang Tianlong was startled at first but then arrogantly said, "Don't think that just because you know the fame of my Wang family, you can put on airs here. Today, I'm taking over Tian Yin Pavilion. However..."
