Chapter 25: Xiao Yun, the Richest Man, Pays His Respects to the Master

Xiao Yun nodded repeatedly without the slightest hesitation. "Rest assured, sir, I have remembered: Su Xue of the Su family."

Ye Fan gave a slight nod. "Su Xue is still waiting for me outside, so I will be taking my leave. Let us converse another time."

"Please wait, sir. My father and I have one more gift for you!"

Xiao Yun quickly took a document from his bag and handed it to Ye Fan. "Sir, you saved the lives of both my father and me. To repay your life-saving kindness, please accept Yunding Company as a small token of our gratitude. You must accept it."

Seeing Xiao Yun's insistence, Ye Fan did not refuse. He took the documents for Yunding Company, turned around, and left the VIP lounge to meet Su Xue in the main hall.

Just as Ye Fan rounded a corner into the hallway leading to the main hall, Xu Quan and Su Mei, accompanied by four henchmen, blocked his path.

Xu Quan looked at him with utter disdain. "Ye Fan, you ignorant piece of trash, trying to run? Do you even know where you are standing right now? If you know what's good for you, get on your knees and beg for mercy from me and Su Mei. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret the day you were born!"

"Make me regret it? Are you even worthy?" Ye Fan’s brow arched, his voice chilling.

"You suicidal fool, you’re at death’s door and still acting arrogant? Get him! Beat him to a pulp!"

As soon as Xu Quan gave the order, the four henchmen lunged at Ye Fan.

*Boom! Boom!*

Before the four attackers could even react, Ye Fan had already struck, sending them all sprawling to the floor.

Witnessing this, the previously arrogant and overbearing Xu Quan and Su Mei were suddenly struck with shock and gravity. They never expected that the Ye Fan standing before them could effortlessly take down four top-tier bodyguards without breaking a sweat. Moreover, those four bodyguards hadn't even been able to mount a defense.

Seeing Ye Fan walking toward him, Xu Quan broke into a cold sweat, backing away and trembling. "Ye Fan, this is the Xu family's gala! I am the young master of the Xu family! Do you dare touch me?"

Before Ye Fan could speak, Su Mei chimed in with equal arrogance, "Ye Fan, you ignorant fool, let me tell you: given Brother Quan’s status, if you dare touch him, one word from the Xu family will be enough to destroy you!"

*Slap!*

Before Su Mei or Xu Quan could process what was happening, Ye Fan struck Xu Quan across the face. His voice and gaze were icy. "Touch you? Forget about a mere Xu family—even if you were the gods themselves, what would it matter?"

The battered Xu Quan clutched his face, his skin turning deathly pale with rage. "What? You ignorant piece of trash, you actually dare to hit me?"

*Boom!*

Before Xu Quan could recover, Ye Fan kicked him to the ground. "You want to ruin me? If I don't beat you now, should I wait for the new year?"

Just then, Su Mei spotted A-San, the captain of Xiao Yun’s bodyguards, walking toward them. She said excitedly, "Brother Quan, it’s Boss Xiao’s head bodyguard!"

Hearing this, the bruised Xu Quan’s confidence surged. "Did you hear that? The head bodyguard of the richest man in the capital is here. Your time is up!"

"Who did you say is coming? Xiao Yun’s bodyguard, A-San?" Ye Fan asked, surprised.

"That’s right! The famous national Sanda champion, A-San! What, are you scared now, you coward?" Xu Quan gloated, emboldened by A-San’s approach.

*Slap!*

Before the approaching A-San could even react, Ye Fan struck him, drawing blood from his mouth. His voice thundered, "So what if A-San is here? If he stands before me, he wouldn't dare sit!"

Before the stunned Xu Quan could speak, an angry roar echoed from behind Ye Fan: "Such big words! You dare say that if you want me standing, I wouldn't dare sit? I want to see who exactly you think you are!"

With those words, A-San reached the scene.

Xu Quan hurried to A-San’s side, pointing at Ye Fan. "Captain A-San, he hit me! This is the man who looked down on you just now. You must not let him go!"

A-San nodded slightly, then looked in the direction Xu Quan was pointing. The moment he recognized that the man Xu Quan was talking about was Ye Fan—the very man who had saved Boss Xiao’s life—he turned deathly pale and began to tremble. He had never imagined that the person Xu Quan had offended was the very benefactor Boss Xiao valued most!

At that moment, Xu Quan, oblivious to the change in A-San’s expression, grew even more arrogant. He pointed at Ye Fan and provoked him, "You ignorant fool, didn't you have such a big mouth earlier, saying that if you wanted the captain standing, he wouldn't dare sit? Now that he’s here, why have you gone mute? You dare hit me on Xu family territory? If you’ve got the guts, do it again!"

*Slap!*

Ye Fan’s brow twitched, and he struck Xu Quan across the face again. "If you want me to try, I’ll try."

"What? You actually dare to hit me in front of the captain? This is an open provocation! With his status, the captain only needs to lift a finger to make you regret this..."

Before Xu Quan could finish, Ye Fan struck him again, sending him spitting blood. Ye Fan looked sternly at A-San. "A-San, you heard it yourself. He said that all you have to do is lift a finger to make me regret it?"

"That’s right! The captain has the power to do exactly that!" Xu Quan roared at Ye Fan, still acting fierce.

*Slap!*

As soon as the words left Xu Quan’s mouth, another slap landed on his face. This blow silenced the previously arrogant Xu Quan instantly.

Breaking into a cold sweat and shaking, he looked at A-San, confused. "Captain A-San, why are you hitting me? This ignorant fool is the one causing trouble and disrespecting you. You should be hitting him, not me!"

*Slap! Slap!*

Before Xu Quan could react, A-San struck him twice more, scolding him sternly, "The ignorant fool is you! Do you even know who he is? He is 'Sir'! How dare you show such disrespect to him? You have some nerve!"

Hearing this, a bewildered Xu Quan looked at Su Mei.

Su Mei quickly interjected, "Captain, you must have mistaken him for someone else! He is absolutely not any 'Sir.' I know his background—he is just a piece of trash from the Ye family, a family that was completely wiped out!"
