Chapter 231 Storm Brewing
"Yes, suspended for investigation!" Du Wei emphasized his tone in front of everyone.
As an upholder of justice and integrity, it was only right that he dealt with Dong Dahai's abetment of evil and significant errors.
This fact would hold, even if Kong Haodong's father himself were to get involved, Du Wei would still show no favoritism.
"Young Master Kong!"
Seeing that Du Wei was serious, Dong Dahai panicked and looked toward Kong Haodong.
Kong Haodong's face instantly turned extremely ugly, "Uncle Du, over the years, my Kong Family hasn't offended you, right? Moreover, by doing this, you're not just failing to save my face, you're also failing to save the face of the Kong Family. If my father finds out, do you understand the consequences you would face?"
"Don't give me that!"
"Humph!" Du Wei scoffed coldly. "These past years, your father has long been compromised. Do you really think your father is still able to wield his power? Also, you should have heard about the situation concerning me, right? I'll tell you this, I'm not alone in this; I'm united with your father's!"
"So keep that in mind and save your breath!"
"What? You're united with my father's?" Kong Haodong's face became even more unsightly.
Du Wei's impending transfer was something Kong Haodong had already heard about, but what he did not expect was that Du Wei would openly collaborate with his father's rivals.
If that was the case, using his father to his advantage had become virtually impossible.
Du Wei said coldly, "That's right! Whether Dong Dahai is your man or not, he made a mistake and must be punished!"
"It's over! Completely over!"
Knowing that Du Wei would be, and that even Kong Haodong's intervention, Dong Dahai became utterly despondent, his face ashen. He realized that not only had he failed to win Kong Haodong over, but he had also landed himself in serious trouble.
"Damn it, this is really bad!" Kong Haodong felt his frustration boiling over, wanting to explode in anger.
After dealing with Dong Dahai, Du Wei turned to Ye Fan and said, "Mr. Ye, please rest assured, as long as I am here, Teacher Tang and your daughter will not encounter any problems!" Read exclusive content at empireNôv(el)B\\jnn
"Thank you, Director Du!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Seeing that Du Wei was determined to help Ye Fan, Kong Haodong was about to explode with rage.
"Fine, very well, Uncle Du, this grudge between us is now settled!"
Kong Haodong left those bitter words behind as he was consumed with anger and turned to leave.
"Hey! Young Master Kong, you dropped something!"
Just as Kong Haodong was about to leave, Ye Fan suddenly called out.
"What thing?" Kong Haodong turned around reflexively.
Bang!!!
At that moment, Ye Fan's kick landed heavily on Kong Haodong, like thunder.
Kong Haodong had never dreamed that Ye Fan would strike him again—caught completely off guard, he was kicked by Ye Fan and sent flying like a sandbag for five meters.
"Ugh!"
Kicked and flung like a sandbag by Ye Fan, Kong Haodong's face turned deathly pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, Ye Fan approached Kong Haodong and said with a piercing gaze, "This is the last chance I'm giving you. If you dare to make trouble again, next time I promise you will end up a dead man!"
"You... Ye Fan, you..." Staring at Ye Fan, Kong Haodong's face was filled with venom.
Ye Fan struck once more, his foot crashing heavily onto Kong Haodong's chest. Suffering a heavy blow, Kong Haodong screamed and fainted on the spot.
Facing a reckless scion like Kong Haodong, he had to be met with a thunderous blow; otherwise, Kong Haodong would never learn his lesson.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
Seeing Kong Haodong directly knocked unconscious by Ye Fan, Dong Dahai had a hard time swallowing his saliva, his body breaking out in a cold sweat.
After dealing with Kong Haodong, Ye Fan simply ignored Dong Dahai. A person like Dong Dahai was merely being used by Kong Haodong as a tool. With Du Wei present, Dong Dahai was bound to have a bad ending.
Then, Ye Fan looked at Du Wei, "Director Du, Dong Dahai cannot be spared lightly. Here, I would like to say thanks in advance!"
"Mr. Ye, there's no need for courtesy! This is simply my responsibility!"
With a hearty laugh, Du Wei paused and said awkwardly, "Mr. Ye, I have a somewhat presumptuous request, I'm not sure if it's appropriate to mention it or not!"
"Director Du, just speak frankly!" Ye Fan smiled.
Du Wei hesitated for a moment then said, "Mr. Ye, my daughter is really fond of the Little Queen. I see that you have an extraordinary relationship with the Little Queen. Could you arrange for my daughter to meet her? It doesn't need to be for long, just long enough for a photo!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was speechless, not having expected Wei Ziyi to have such an allure.
"Mr. Ye, can you arrange it?" Du Wei blinked helplessly.
Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh, "I thought it was something difficult. This shouldn't be hard. Ziyi will be coming to my house to have dinner tonight. When I see her, I'll mention it to her. It shouldn't be a big problem!"
"That's really great, thank you Mr. Ye!" Du Wei was elated.
After defusing the crisis, Ye Fan did not hesitate. He greeted Du Wei and left. Tang Shishi had quite the surprise that night, and Ye Fan personally escorted her home.
Upon arrival, Tang Shishi gratefully said, "Big Brother Ye, thank you. Would you like to come up and have a cup of tea?"
"No, I have guests at home tonight, Ling'er and I will be going back!" Ye Fan smiled.
"Then... Okay then!"
Knowing that Ye Fan had guests over, Tang Shishi truly found it hard to insist on his staying.
After Ye Fan and Ye Ling'er left, Tang Shishi couldn't help but think about the evening's events when Ye Fan saved her, and how she had misunderstood him before she knew the whole story.
"Oh my, how embarrassing!"
Watching Ye Fan walk away, Tang Shishi blushed, and her heart fluttered.
...
At that very moment, within the Su Family Mansion, the atmosphere was somber.
Su Tianhao looked sullenly at Old Madam Su, "Grandma, are you really going to hand over the Su Family to Su Ruoxue? If Su Ruoxue becomes the head of the Su Family, what does that make me?"
"Tianhao, what's the rush? The Su Family has not yet fallen into Su Ruoxue's hands. She is merely the Vice Chairman and a candidate for succession. As long as I throw a spanner in the works within this half year, Su Ruoxue will be forced to step down. Don't rush, for haste does not bring success," Old Madam Su consoled.
The fact that Little Queen Wei Ziyi came for Ye Fan today and was willing to endorse the Su Family for life without any charges was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, experience still counts. This morning at the Su Family meeting, she deliberately mentioned that the winner would have a six-month probation period.
Old Madam Su was confident that within this six-month probationary period, she could strip Su Ruoxue of her status as a candidate for succession.
Full of frustration, Su Tianhao said, "It's so hard to accept! The position of head of the Su Family was within reach; who could have expected Ye Fan to interfere at the critical moment? Again it's Ye Fan. He's thwarted us time and again!"
"This Ye Fan has become a major problem in our hearts. Without removing Ye Fan, our Su Family can never have peace," Old Madam Su had also realized this.
Su Tianhao said maliciously, "If you count the time, Huang Zicheng's plan should have already started. Ye Fan won't survive tonight!"
"Hopefully, it is as you say," Old Madam Su solemnly nodded.
Meanwhile, within the Huang Family estate in the Central Plains, a convoy of black sedans arrived swiftly, and a group of people quickly alighted from the vehicles. All of these individuals had a forceful presence, clearly discernible as seasoned Ancient Martial Artists.
Seeing the arrival of numerous masters, Huang Zicheng said with a sardonic smile, "Has everyone arrived? Good! Take action!"
Unaware of the gathering of a large number of masters within the Huang Family estate, Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue were oblivious.
Suddenly, the sky began to change, signaling an impending storm.
