Chapter 21: Debts of Kindness Must Be Repaid, Vengeance Must Be Exacted

“Tell me, why did you tell Zhu Wu from the Zhao family that there is a legendary treasure, the Yin-Yang Cauldron, in the ancestral grave of my Ye family?” Ye Fan demanded.

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Huan nodded repeatedly. At this moment, Ye Fan was like his father; one word from him could ruin both him and the Lin family.

With a mournful expression, he said, “Someone came to me and said I was your father-in-law. If I told the Zhao family, they would believe me. He gave me one million yuan to pass on the message to the Zhao family!”

“Who was this person?” Ye Fan asked, knowing that the massacre of his ninety-nine family members was definitely connected to whoever approached Lin Huan.

Lin Huan nodded silently. “I don’t know who he was. He wore sunglasses, so I didn’t see his face. I thought I could earn a million just by passing a message, so I agreed. Wait, I remember now—this person had a tiger head tattoo on the back of his neck!”

Boom!

Ye Fan kicked Lin Huan to the ground just then, receiving a call from Wang Jiu, the underground king. “Sir, a noble heavyweight named Xiao Yun has arrived in the capital. He just came to Yunzhou and has been secretly inquiring about you.”

“Understood. Issue orders: not only must no one touch him, but also assign someone to protect him secretly.”

Ye Fan knew Xiao Yun was a famous wealthy merchant in the capital. He had saved Xiao Yun and his son’s lives before. Xiao Yun’s visit to Yunzhou was to repay that debt of gratitude.

After Wang Jiu responded, he added, “Sir, there’s another matter I think involves Miss Su Xue. Her stepmother Luo Li is having an affair with Su Wei’s family’s younger brother. The scandalous photos have been sent to your phone!”

Ye Fan acknowledged and ended the call, then opened the photos sent by Wang Jiu.

The photos were shocking: a woman kneeling on the ground, looking up at a man in a compromising position. The second photo was even more scandalous—the woman seemed ravenous, devouring the ‘scriptures’ she had obtained, eating with insatiable hunger.

At that moment, Ye Fan put away his phone, turned, and left the office to meet Su Xue, who had just signed a contract in the hall.

Lin Huan, still kneeling, hurriedly stood and chased after Ye Fan.

In the lobby of Baiyun Company, Su Xue, who had just completed the contract signing, was blocked by Zhang Yan.

“It’s you?” Su Xue said in surprise upon seeing Zhang Yan deliberately blocking her path.

Zhang Yan arrogantly and angrily said, “Yes, it’s me. You vixen! Last time, you caused my long-time nanny to be beaten half to death. Today, I’m here to avenge her!”

“How dare you?”

Before Zhang Yan could make a move, Ye Fan arrived with a sharp reprimand. Before she could react, Ye Fan was already there, shielding Su Xue.

Zhang Yan glared at Ye Fan and snarled, “Ye Fan, you ungrateful wretch, I’m telling you, don’t ever use Xiao Qing’s matter to threaten me again.

“Brother Huan has already gone to see the boss of Baiyun Company and signed the contract! Once my Lin family partners with this billion-dollar group, we will be the saviors of the Lin family. The whole clan will obey us!”

“Lin Huan saw the boss of Baiyun Company? And signed a contract?” Ye Fan said.

“That’s right! As long as my Lin family is backed by a hundred-billion-group like Baiyun Company, why should I fear a little nobody like you?” Zhang Yan said arrogantly, completely dismissing Ye Fan. Then, growing even more overbearing, she sneered, “You ignorant fool, how dare you fight my Lin family? You don’t even deserve it! And to despise my Xiao Qing—she’s blessed to have noticed you!”

Smack!

Before the arrogant Zhang Yan could recover, Ye Fan slapped her across the face!

Furious, Zhang Yan screamed at Ye Fan, “You ungrateful brat! How dare you hit me?”

Smack!

Ye Fan struck again, slapping her so hard she spat blood, his voice and gaze ice-cold: “You bully, if I don’t hit you, should I save you for the New Year?”

At that moment, Zhang Yan spotted Lin Huan chasing after Ye Fan.

Her spirit instantly rose: “Ye Fan, open your eyes and look who’s here! It’s Brother Huan, who just signed the contract with Baiyun Company. You dare hit me? Wait until he arrives—he’ll make you regret it!”

Boom!

Before Zhang Yan could react, Ye Fan kicked her down again, his voice thundering, “So what if Lin Huan is here? If he dares to stand before me, I’ll make him sit. Does he think he can stand while I’m here?”

Zhang Yan, beaten, got up and scornfully stared at Ye Fan, yelling, “See? Brother Huan has already met with the boss of Baiyun Company and signed the contract!”

After speaking, she rushed to Lin Huan, who had just arrived, pointing at Ye Fan. “Brother Huan, punish this reckless fool! He actually hit me!”

Smack!

Before Zhang Yan finished speaking, Lin Huan slapped her across the face!

At that moment, the once arrogant Zhang Yan was stunned into silence.

After a pause, she said, “Brother Huan, why did you hit me? The one you should hit is Ye Fan, this reckless fool!”

Slap, slap!

Seeing Zhang Yan still provoking Ye Fan, Lin Huan, anxious and furious, slapped her twice more, his face stern as he shouted, “You’re the reckless one? Do you even know who he is? How dare you offend him? You’ve got some nerve!”

Hearing Lin Huan’s scolding, Zhang Yan, holding her bruised face, suddenly turned pale and trembled, stammering, “Brother Huan, what’s wrong with you? Isn’t he just the black sheep of the Ye family? Don’t you recognize him?”

Boom!

Lin Huan’s face turned ghostly pale, his whole body trembling with anger. He shouted, “He is the boss of the billion-dollar Baiyun Company!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan froze, her face turning ashen and trembling uncontrollably. “Brother Huan, that can’t be true! You must be mistaken! How could he suddenly become the president of a billion-dollar company?”

“Mistake my ass!” Lin Huan was furious, slapping Zhang Yan again until she spit blood, fiercely scolding, “You blind fool! If the Lin family can’t survive, you’ll be the biggest culprit!”

After saying this, Lin Huan hurried to Ye Fan, lowering his head. “Ye Fan, it’s all my fault for raising such a reckless person. I apologize and beg you to spare the Lin family.”

After speaking, Lin Huan shouted at the trembling Zhang Yan, “What are you standing there for? Come here immediately and kneel before Ye Fan and Su Xue to apologize, or I won’t forgive you!”

Terrified and shaking, Zhang Yan nodded repeatedly, kneeling before Ye Fan and Su Xue. “Ye Fan, Su Xue, I was wrong. I was blind. I apologize to you!”

Boom!

Ye Fan kicked Zhang Yan to the ground and left with Su Xue.

With Ye Fan, there was no room for regret or mercy.

Only decisive action.

Only rewards for kindness and retribution for enmity.
