Wang Tianlong's gaze shifted from Ye Fan to Shen Tianyin's face.
"I've heard the owner of Tianyin Pavilion is the most beautiful woman in Jiang City. Seeing her today, it's indeed true. If Miss Shen could accompany us brothers for a few days and serve us well, perhaps I can consider letting Tianyin Pavilion off the hook. What do you say?"
Wang Tianlong wore an evil smile, his eyes filled with a certain possessiveness. In his view, Shen Tianyin was a prize he was destined to win.
But in the next moment, several icy gazes shot over, fixed on Wang Tianlong as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Sensing these terrifying gazes, Wang Tianlong's heart faltered slightly, but his face quickly turned cold.
"What? Trying to scare me? Haven't you bothered to find out who I am?"
His eyes swept across Ye Fan and the others. At this moment, Wang Tianlong's arrogance reached its peak.
Seeing Wang Tianlong's stubborn refusal, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Disable him."
Waiting for this cue, Shen Bao instantly lunged towards Wang Tianlong. He had long disliked this fellow, but with Ye Fan present, he would have held back his anger if Ye Fan hadn't given the order. After working together for so long, they had a tacit understanding. Moreover, only Ye Fan could make the decision in this matter; no one else could.
As Shen Bao charged forward, Wang Tianlong and his companions were about to retaliate, but in the next moment, Shen Bao was already in front of him. As he raised his fist, he slammed it hard into Wang Tianlong's cheek.
*Bang!*
In an instant, Wang Tianlong let out a scream, staggered, lost his balance, and crashed to the ground. The other young men, seeing Shen Bao's ferocity, were frozen in shock, staring blankly at the scene, afraid to move.
Shen Bao's face darkened. "What the hell do you think you are? Daring to spout nonsense here?"
He kicked Wang Tianlong hard in the chest. Kick after kick, as if unleashing all his pent-up fury. Wang Tianlong's screams continued, but as time passed, his cries grew weaker, barely breathing. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
"Murder! Murder!"
The other young men, witnessing this, trembled with fear, their bodies shaking violently.
"Shut up."
Shen Bao suddenly turned, his devilish gaze fixing on them, as if he intended to devour them. This silence the young men further, their legs trembling, and they slumped to the ground.
At this moment, Ye Fan walked over slowly, stopping Shen Bao. Seeing Ye Fan's intervention, Shen Bao finally ceased his assault. Looking coldly at the fallen Wang Tianlong, Ye Fan merely snorted. Wang Tianlong's current status was no longer important. The moment his wicked thoughts arose, his fate was sealed.
With cold eyes, Ye Fan looked at one of the young men and said sternly, "Go back and tell Wang Pengyun and Wang Pengyu to come to Tianyin Pavilion to see me. I'll give them half an hour. If they don't arrive within half an hour, they can come to collect these bodies."
A terrifying, intense killing intent erupted from Ye Fan. Sensing this murderous aura, the young man, without a doubt, wet himself.
...
Without tidying the scene, Ye Fan and the others sat quietly on the sofa, watching the struggling Wang Tianlong on the floor. No one spoke. The hall was silent for a time.
"Ye Fan, are you really going to kill them? They're from the Wang family." Old Ji wanted to ask several times but held back. Now, with half an hour drawing near, he could no longer contain himself.
"So what if it's the Wang family?" Ye Fan said coldly. "No matter who it is, if they dare to provoke me in Jiang City, they will die."
Ye Fan's words were exceptionally firm!
Seeing the chilling killing intent in Ye Fan's eyes, Shen Tianyin, standing beside him, was deeply touched, her eyes welling up. She knew that if Wang Tianlong hadn't mentioned her, Ye Fan wouldn't have had such intense killing intent. In Ye Fan's heart, she was his absolute taboo. How could she not be moved by such protection?
"Ye Fan, don't cause any more trouble," Shen Tianyin whispered in his ear, afraid Ye Fan would get into trouble. She could endure some grievances, but she absolutely couldn't let Ye Fan take risks.
Ye Fan smiled gently at her, took her hand, and said softly, "I'll handle this. You don't need to worry." As a man, he could not let his woman worry for him; this was Ye Fan's bottom line. Having lived two lives, Shen Tianyin was his first woman, and he cherished her even more.
Seeing Ye Fan's determined gaze, Shen Tianyin finally said nothing more. Being cherished and protected like a treasure, this warmth was something she had never experienced before. Therefore, Shen Tianyin's face was filled with happiness at this moment.
Seeing the two of them becoming so affectionate, Shen Bao and the others rolled their eyes helplessly and cleared their throats.
"Please, you two. We have a major enemy before us, this is no time for sweet talk."
Teased by Shen Bao, Shen Tianyin's cheeks flushed. She shot him a glance but shyly lowered her head. Ye Fan, however, smiled, unfazed.
Just then, an angry roar sounded from outside the door.
"I'd like to see who dares to lay a hand on my Wang family in Jiang City."
As he spoke, over a dozen people strode in, led by Wang Tengyun. Upon seeing Ye Fan, Wang Tengyun's lips curled into a cold smile, and he let out a disdainful snort.
"I wondered who it was, turns out to be you. What? Finally dared to return to Jiang City?"
He didn't take Ye Fan seriously at all, even harboring hostility towards him. Hearing Wang Tengyun's words, Ye Fan frowned slightly. "What? Have you forgotten what the Grand Elder said?" Ye Fan asked coldly, staring at Wang Tengyun.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang Tengyun faltered, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness. "Ye Fan, what right do you have to interfere in my Wang family's affairs? Let me tell you, you might be able to deceive the Grand Elder, but you can't fool me, Wang Tengyun. Today, I will eliminate you for the sake of my Wang family, lest you pose a threat to us in the future."
As he spoke, Wang Tengyun waved his hand, and immediately, the dozen or so men behind him charged forward, intending to attack Ye Fan. Previously, Wang Tengyun hadn't known Ye Fan's true strength, only that the Grand Elder said Ye Fan was resourceful. However, without seeing it with his own eyes, his personality wouldn't allow him to believe it.
Those hired thugs now eyed them menacingly, seeing Ye Fan and his companions as lambs to the slaughter. Ye Fan remained unfazed, even letting out a sigh.
"It seems you intend to betray the Grand Elder. In that case, I will act on behalf of the Grand Elder and exercise authority to purge the Wang family."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, his voice not loud, but extremely penetrating.
