Watching Dongfang Haoran leave in frustration, everyone exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what had just happened. Just like that, the storm had passed…
However, those who truly understood the situation clearly realized that if Xiao Yufan hadn’t anticipated what was going to happen, things might not have gone so smoothly. Unconsciously, his image in the eyes of every person at Huihuang grew even more admirable.
“Since you’ve come here to inspect the work, Old Yu, perhaps you might as well take a walk around and point out some of Huihuang’s shortcomings. What do you think?”
His gaze shifting back to Old Yu, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but smile slightly. Since he had come all this way, he naturally intended to make full use of the opportunity to further embed Huihuang Enterprises into the public consciousness.
“You really know how to seize every opportunity. That kid from the Dongfang family opposing you must be furious enough to spit blood by now. Well then, I’ll humor you this once…”
Old Yu feigned helplessness. How could he not know what this guy was thinking? But since he was already here, he might as well do Huihuang Enterprises a favor and give them some free advertising—after all, his beloved granddaughter had her heart set on this man.
“How can you say I’m seizing every opportunity? I’m merely grasping the moment. With all the commotion at the Beijing Club, outsiders might think there’s internal trouble at Huihuang. To avoid misunderstandings, I had no choice but to trouble you, sir!”
Xiao Yufan smiled apologetically, appearing completely at ease, as if the previous incident had left no trace on his mind. This calm demeanor even caused Old Yu to hesitate slightly.
“Why provoke him? Don’t you know about his covert methods? As the prince of Beijing’s underground empire, if he truly flies into a rage, not everyone can withstand the consequences!”
Walking forward, Old Yu seemed to recall something and glanced at Xiao Yufan with slight confusion. The reason he had spoken those words earlier was precisely following Xiao Yufan’s intention—that is, to completely enrage Dongfang Haoran.
“Only when he’s consumed by anger will he lose his basic ability to think clearly. I’m not afraid of someone who only knows how to wield weapons. If he dares to play any underhanded tricks, I dare to ensure his complete downfall…”
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, his smile turning slightly icy. But soon, his heart gave a sudden jolt—if the desperate Dongfang Haoran decided to target Qingluan secretly, what would he do then?
“Young people’s affairs—I’m too tired to meddle. Just go ahead and do as you please. I believe Old Sima would certainly hope that you carve out a world of your own!”
Sighing softly, Old Yu said no more. This was the stage for the younger generation, who naturally had their own ideas. As for them, they only needed to stand behind and give full support.
Throughout the entire morning, Xiao Yufan accompanied Old Yu on an inspection of Huihuang Enterprises, and Old Yu gave Huihuang very high praise. Xiao Yufan knew that their goal for this time had been achieved, thanks in part to the Beijing Club’s unwitting cooperation.
Meanwhile, inside the Beijing Club’s conference room, the atmosphere was unusually tense. Dongfang Haoran’s expression remained dark and stormy, and behind him, Situ Wenchang also wore a heavy look of concern.
“How could he have known about your carefully planned scheme? Is there someone secretly leaking information?”
Hearing Dongfang Haoran’s account, Situ Wenchang’s lips twitched violently. Could Xiao Yufan foresee the future? Was he even human?
“No one else knew about this operation, so how could there be a leak? That guy is stronger than we imagined. Someone favored by Old Master Situ could never be an ordinary person!”
Dongfang Haoran sneered coldly, his eyes flashing with icy daggers. He had already lost his composure. Now that he had declared an irreconcilable feud, he would naturally make Huihuang Enterprises and Xiao Yufan pay a price they could never endure.
“Then what do you plan to do next…?” Hearing this, Situ Wenchang’s expression changed as well. He hadn’t expected even the proud and arrogant Dongfang Haoran to hold Xiao Yufan in such high esteem. It seemed he had underestimated the man brought back by Old Master Situ.
“Kill him…”
The words were forced through clenched teeth, and suddenly the entire space seemed to grow cold. Situ Wenchang furrowed his brow, clearly shaken by Dongfang Haoran’s declaration.
Yet he felt no joy. Although if Xiao Yufan died, he himself could once again become the most viable candidate among the Situ heirs, how would Old Master Situ let Dongfang Haoran off the hook? And if he traced the matter back and discovered his own involvement, Old Master Situ definitely had the power to erase him completely…
“Don’t let temporary hatred cloud your judgment. We can think of other ways—we don’t have to provoke the Situ family directly. If he dies, even the Dongfang family won’t be able to protect you!”
“I only care that he dies. Everything else is none of my concern. As for whether the Dongfang family can protect me, we’ll find out when the time comes. Brother Wenchang, you’d better start thinking about how to handle your cousin’s affairs…”
Dongfang Haoran laughed arrogantly, completely ignoring Situ Wenchang’s darkening expression. The person he wanted dead had never escaped his grasp. This time, he would make Xiao Yufan understand that the fury of Beijing’s prince was something he could never withstand. If the King of Hell decrees your death at midnight, who could possibly keep you alive until dawn? In Beijing’s underworld, he was the ultimate authority…
“A brute. Even if you’re determined to die, don’t drag me into it. You’re overestimating yourself. To Old Master Situ, all these things aren’t even worth mentioning!”
Watching Dongfang Haoran’s retreating back, Situ Wenchang spat out angrily. Dongfang was nothing but a brute who only knew violence. He couldn’t help but doubt how such a man had managed to build the Beijing Club in the first place. Was this really the leader of the Beijing Club?
But Dongfang Haoran had already left and couldn’t hear him. After repeated setbacks, the Beijing Club’s leader had long lost his former patience. Right now, the only thing he wanted was for Xiao Yufan to disappear from his sight forever.
Left alone in the conference room, Situ Wenchang felt uneasy. He feared this incident might implicate him, and Old Master Situ would definitely hold him accountable, leaving him unable to escape punishment…
“There’s nothing left but to take things as they come. If necessary, I’ll have to give that guy a warning. It doesn’t matter much if the Situ family loses a useless person, as long as he doesn’t drag me down with him!”
Muttering to himself, Situ Wenchang revealed his lingering fear of Old Master Situ. Of course, he wanted Xiao Yufan dead—but not yet, not now…
