Ye Fan’s actions left Liu Piaoxu stunned.
Although she possessed courage and a rather assertive personality, she was, after all, a woman.
She had never been treated like this before.
For a moment, her mind went blank, and she forgot to resist, allowing Ye Fan to embrace her.
Old Master Liu, on the other hand, clenched his teeth in anger.
He had doubted Ye Fan’s words earlier, but this scene now confirmed that everything Ye Fan had said was the truth.
“Good, good. My Liu family has produced a degenerate descendant like you. It seems I was too lenient with you before.”
Only then did Ye Fan release Liu Piaoxu, but he still held her hand tightly.
He turned to face Old Master Liu, “The Liu family is incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, and good from bad. I originally thought that only the younger generation of the Liu family were fools, but today, it appears even you, the patriarch, are brain-dead. It truly proves the saying, ‘If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.’ With a leader like you, everyone below will undoubtedly be a pig.”
He showed no mercy to Old Master Liu, and at that moment, Ye Fan even dared to curse at him.
If outsiders were to witness this scene, they would surely be astounded.
That was Old Master Liu, the founder of the Liu family, known as a foundational member of the Dark Alliance. Yet, here he was, being verbally abused by a young man, pointing fingers at him. How audacious!
How had Old Master Liu ever endured such humiliation?
“You are courting death.”
Gritting his teeth, Old Master Liu suddenly stood up. His aged body, at this moment, exuded an immense aura, fiercely descending upon Ye Fan.
If it had been any other young man enveloped by the Old Master’s terrifying presence, they would likely have been paralyzed with fear and collapsed to the ground.
But Ye Fan, having lived two lives and experienced life and death, possessed a mindset that Old Master Liu could not compare to.
Not only was he fearless, but he also met Old Master Liu’s gaze head-on.
“Many have wanted me dead, yet I still live. I wonder if you are boasting, or if you are simply too foolish.”
He sneered, and then, Ye Fan suddenly lifted Liu Yuan, who was curled up on the ground, and grasped her throat.
“If you don’t want your grandson to die before your very eyes, I advise you to obediently issue an order for those cowards outside to get lost. Otherwise, if I make a mistake, this useless piece of trash will lose his life.”
Ye Fan said with a cold smile, his words laced with disdain.
He had infiltrated the Liu family alone with the sole purpose of rescuing Liu Piaoxu. Therefore, he was not inclined to engage in a direct confrontation with the Liu family. Capturing Liu Yuan as leverage was the optimal choice at this juncture.
As expected, seeing Ye Fan’s composure, Old Master Liu frowned.
Meanwhile, the Liu family guards outside had already rushed over and blocked the doorway, awaiting only the Old Master’s command to apprehend Ye Fan.
Seeing Old Master Liu hesitating to give the order, Ye Fan’s lips curved into a cold smile. “What? Does the Old Master not believe me?”
As he spoke, he gradually increased the pressure in his hand.
Liu Yuan immediately felt a suffocating sensation, his face turning red, and his eyes bulging.
“Grandfather, save me.”
He choked out a plea, his breath growing weaker, while his body struggled violently.
However, in Ye Fan’s grip, his struggles seemed utterly futile.
Seeing Liu Yuan’s life hanging by a thread, even Old Master Liu, despite his reluctance, finally issued the order: “Everyone, stand down. Clear a path and let them leave.”
Upon hearing the Old Master’s command, the guards had no choice but to retreat, clearing a passage.
“Then I thank you, Old Master Liu.”
Saying this, Ye Fan pulled Liu Piaoxu with one hand and held Liu Yuan with the other, quickly walking towards the exit.
“Ye Fan, my Liu family will be your sworn enemy.”
At this point, if Old Master Liu still didn’t know who Ye Fan was, then he had lived in vain all these years.
Hearing the Old Master’s words, Ye Fan stopped, turned back to face him, and said with a cold laugh, “I’ll be waiting.”
Then, holding Liu Yuan captive, he quickly left the Liu family residence.
Only after reaching the outside and seeing that no one was pursuing them did Ye Fan lift his foot and deliver a fierce kick to Liu Yuan’s groin.
“Owww!” a pig-like scream erupted. Liu Yuan felt an intense pain shoot through the depths of his mind.
It was a pain so severe that he could not bear it.
Ignoring the writhing Liu Yuan on the ground, who was in agony, Ye Fan pulled Liu Piaoxu and directly got into an SUV that was parked by the roadside.
The next moment, the SUV roared to life and sped away, kicking up dust.
Inside the car, Shen Bao looked at Ye Fan and Liu Piaoxu emerging unharmed, and his admiration for Ye Fan grew even greater.
After all, this was Liu family territory. As a hidden family and a member of the Dark Alliance, the Liu family was formidable in Jiang City.
Shen Bao had already investigated the Liu family, and describing them as a behemoth was no exaggeration.
Compared to the Shen family, they were like heaven and earth.
However, the Liu family focused all their energy on business. The Liu family members usually acted very discreetly and rarely made public appearances, which was why few people knew of them.
“You dared to break into the Liu family alone? What if you had failed? Did you ever consider the consequences?”
Seeing Ye Fan’s relaxed demeanor, Liu Piaoxu asked with a frown.
If Ye Fan had failed, not only would he have lost his life, but she would have been sold off by the family. For such a crucial matter, Ye Fan had not made adequate preparations, barging into the Liu family alone was simply too reckless.
Ye Fan took a sip of water with a smile and replied, “You know this is the Liu family. If I had brought manpower with me, do you think we could have avoided the eyes of the Liu family guards? Besides, I was only going to rescue you, not to fight the Liu family to the death. The risk factor was very, very low.”
Ye Fan seemed unfazed by such a risky endeavor, and his mindset nearly caused Liu Piaoxu to erupt in anger again.
In fact, Ye Fan had made some preparations. The reason he had asked Shen Bao to pick him up was to have Shen Bao immediately bring reinforcements to rescue him if he encountered any danger.
With the authority of an enforcer, one could apprehend people from any family.
Even hidden families like the Liu family could not resist.
After all, they still relied on Jiang City's resources for their family's development.
However, he hadn’t expected the situation to progress so smoothly, rendering Shen Bao’s role unnecessary.
“Ye Fan, are we going directly to the antique shop?”
Looking at Ye Fan, Shen Bao asked in a low voice.
But the car’s speed did not decrease.
“Now that Miss Liu has been rescued, naturally, I must fulfill the promise I made to her. Let’s go and see Miss Liu’s businesses outside.”
Shen Bao nodded with a smile, and the car headed straight for the Tiancheng Antique Shop.
The Tiancheng Antique Shop had already changed its sign: Bo Wang Pavilion.
After acquiring the Tiancheng Antique Shop, Ye Fan had personally overseen its design and renovation, finally completing everything.
