Helpless, Old Master Feng could only sigh, "Young friend Ye, Feng Xiao has defied you multiple times. I, representing the Feng family, apologize to you. Young friend Ye can make any request, as long as my Feng family can fulfill it, this old man will never frown."
With no other choice, Old Master Feng had to resort to this tactic.
Seeing Old Master Feng say this, Ye Fan's lips finally curved into a satisfied smile.
This was exactly what he had been waiting for Old Master Feng to say.
After all, this was the Feng family's territory. He couldn't possibly kill Feng Xiao while here. Since that was the case, he might as well extort a hefty sum from the Feng family.
And since Old Master Feng was being so sensible, how could Ye Fan possibly refuse?
"Heh heh, since Old Master Feng has said so, if I don't make a request, you might all feel uneasy. However, Feng Xiao has tried to kill me several times. If the Feng family doesn't show some sincerity to resolve this hatred, I fear my heart won't be able to accept it."
Ye Fan said meaningfully, his gaze towards Old Master Feng filled with a playful smile.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Old Master Feng knew that this confrontation would surely cost the Feng family dearly, as otherwise, Ye Fan's demands would be impossible to meet.
But with things having reached this point, he had no other option and could only steel himself and ask, "May I know what young friend Ye requires?"
The fact that Old Master Feng could be so humble spoke volumes about the pressure Ye Fan was exerting on him.
If outsiders were to witness this scene, their jaws would surely drop in shock.
The usually overbearing, even arrogant, Old Master Feng, when had he ever been pushed to such a degree?
But that was the reality. Only the Great Protector and the Grand Elder, at this moment, wore faint smiles, as if all of this was within their expectations.
Given Ye Fan's personality, if he didn't thoroughly punish the Feng family, he probably wouldn't be able to let it go himself.
These two were old foxes, naturally understanding what needed to be done and when.
Ye Fan's smile grew wider.
"Since Old Master Feng has said so, then I shall state my request. I have long heard of the Feng family's deep foundations, and that your treasury holds many treasures. Ye Fan has no other requests; I merely wish to visit the Feng family's treasury and broaden my horizons."
As these words left his mouth, the Great Protector and the Grand Elder were simultaneously stunned, their gazes towards Ye Fan filled with shock.
This brat was truly ruthless. This wasn't just asking the Feng family to bleed, it was clearly aiming to cripple them.
The treasury, that was the most vital core of a family. If Ye Fan were to enter, it was unlikely he would simply look around.
Old Master Feng, on the other hand, suddenly stood up, his face instantly turning as cold as ice.
"Ye Fan, you are going too far! How could our Feng family treasury allow you to enter? Stop dreaming."
Feng Xiao was even more furious.
He was already extremely displeased with the Old Master's subservience just now, and now Ye Fan was making such an outrageous demand, which he naturally could not accept.
"Young friend Ye, although our Feng family dares not confront the Gu family head-on, it does not mean we are a pushover. If young friend Ye truly presses us so hard, then our Feng family would rather be shattered jade than intact tile, and we can only endure young friend Ye's wrath."
Old Master Feng clearly stated his position: allowing Ye Fan to enter the Feng family treasury was absolutely out of the question.
But Ye Fan let out a cold laugh, "Is Old Master Feng disagreeing? It doesn't matter, even if you disagree, I will still enter and look. Moreover, I have already given your Feng family a chance, but your Feng family does not appreciate it."
Ye Fan's face was filled with disdain. These people from the Feng family still had some backbone.
Especially this Old Master Feng, he indeed possessed a certain pride.
But this was not a reason for Ye Fan to let the Feng family off the hook.
Since they had already become mortal enemies, showing mercy to an enemy was cruelty to oneself, and Ye Fan would naturally not do such a foolish thing.
"I heard that Elder Gu lost a precious family heirloom. Upon receiving Elder Gu's report, it is highly likely that the item was stolen by the eldest young master of the Feng family. Therefore, I am here to conduct a search. This is a search warrant."
Saying this, Ye Fan took a search warrant from his pocket.
This was naturally arranged by Lu Liang. As the captain of the enforcement team, obtaining a search warrant was not a difficult matter.
As for whether Elder Gu had actually lost something, it was not important. If Ye Fan wanted him to lose it, then he would lose it.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, the Great Protector was briefly stunned, but then he quickly nodded heavily, "My elder brother did indeed lose a treasure. If it can be found, the Gu family will be eternally grateful."
They had come here recently precisely to help Ye Fan vent his anger.
Now that Ye Fan said this, they naturally had to cooperate.
The Grand Elder quickly nodded, "The Wang family is also the same. Elder Gu's status is noble, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to be insulted in Jiangnan City."
With these two backing him, Old Master Feng almost choked on his anger.
Gasping for breath, his face turned pale.
Feng Xiao's teeth were gritted, and if not for his reservations, he would have already made a move against Ye Fan, vowing to kill Ye Fan in the most brutal way.
"What? Is Old Master Feng prepared to resist the law enforcers? If that is truly the case, I will send people to have a discussion with Old Master Feng. The crime for disobeying the orders of law enforcers, what exactly is it?"
Ye Fan directly invoked the authority of the law enforcers.
Resisting law enforcers, the crime was not insignificant, nor was it trivial.
If one chose to overlook it, it could be dismissed with a smile. But if one deliberately pursued it, coupled with Ye Fan's machinations, it was possible for the Feng family to be raided and confiscated.
Old Master Feng realized the seriousness of the situation and knew that if Ye Fan was not allowed to inspect the treasury today, this matter would likely not end peacefully.
Helpless, Old Master Feng could only sigh, "Take him."
Closing his eyes in grief, Old Master Feng felt as if he wished he were dead.
Having been the head of the family for so many years, toiling tirelessly for the family, even in the face of danger, Old Master Feng had never flinched.
Yet today, he was being pushed to the brink by Ye Fan. He, who had never bowed his head, had now bowed to Ye Fan.
Even worse, he now had to watch as someone went into his family's treasury.
For the head of a great family, this was an immense humiliation.
But he had no choice. He was unwilling to provoke the law enforcers.
Feng Xiao's expression was as dark as water. No matter how angry he was, he could only suppress it. Even the Old Master had chosen to endure, let alone him?
Several servants had already arrived and were leading Ye Fan away slowly.
The Great Protector and the Grand Elder did not get up. They had come here to help Ye Fan. Now that Ye Fan had achieved half of his goal, they naturally would not interfere carelessly.
However, if Ye Fan obtained any rare treasures, they would certainly expect a share.
Old Master Feng seemed to have aged considerably overnight, looking at the Great Protector with a mixture of a wry smile and tears.
"Great Protector, over the years, there have indeed been some individuals within the Feng family who have acted unlawfully. This old man is advanced in age and has the will but lacks the strength, hence I was somewhat lenient with them. However, these matters will never happen again. I will certainly admonish those scoundrels. If anyone else dares to act foolishly, then our Feng family will purge its own."
