Having spent the entire night awake beside Qingluan, Xiao Yufan harbored no impure thoughts. He simply sat quietly by the girl’s side, and it actually felt quite peaceful…
Although Qingluan remained very still throughout, the tight furrow in her brow revealed clearly that she had been through quite a scare in these past few days. When she had been trapped by Dongfang Haoran, she had desperately hoped that Xiao Yufan would suddenly appear and rescue her.
The next morning, Xiao Yufan immediately brought Qingluan back to the villa. Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu both fussed over her with tender care, gradually soothing Qingluan’s shaken heart…
Perhaps everyone involved preferred not to escalate what had happened at Boyaxuan, so the entire matter was quietly suppressed. Of course, Xiao Yufan knew that his grandfather must have played a role in this.
As he was lost in thought, the ringing of his mobile phone interrupted his musings. Picking it up absentmindedly, he discovered it was a call from his grandfather. It seemed there was indeed some sort of telepathic connection between them—just as he had been thinking about his grandfather, the call had come through.
“So, was it you who caused all the commotion at Boyaxuan?”
Before Xiao Yufan could even speak, his grandfather’s voice came through the phone. However, there was clearly no trace of blame in his tone.
“Who else could have caused such a stir? Still, Grandpa, your information network is quite impressive—it’s only been one night!”
“Just one night? You’re speaking as if it’s easy. Last night alone, I received calls from no fewer than ten important figures. This is Beijing. Even though many people might turn a blind eye to the violent struggles within the underworld, it doesn’t mean they’ll just sit back and do nothing. Especially when this matter involves the Dongfang family…”
Situ Lingyu felt somewhat troubled. Although he was capable of handling such matters, it still required considerable effort. The existence of underground forces was inevitable—wherever there was light, there would naturally be shadows.
“I didn’t expect it would cause such a big reaction. Dongfang Haoran has been up to plenty of shady dealings over the years, yet no one has touched him. Why is it that when trouble erupts in Beijing’s underworld, suddenly people speak up?”
Xiao Yufan sneered. It seemed the Dongfang family indeed wielded considerable influence in the capital. But so what? He had already decided—Dongfang Haoran’s life was his to take…
“You’ve disrupted the balance between the underworld and law enforcement in Beijing, naturally touching upon certain people’s interests. So it’s only natural they’d step forward. I’ll handle them, but I want to know—what are your plans next!”
Clearly, Grandfather Situ was still willing to step in and clean up the mess for Xiao Yufan. Although the Situ family had enough power to silence those people, he still wanted to handle things carefully and avoid giving others any grounds for criticism.
“I’ve already said—Dongfang Haoran won’t survive the next three days. He must die…”
Thinking of Dongfang Haoran, Xiao Yufan’s face darkened once more. He intended to make this man suffer greatly before death—his death wouldn’t bring peace.
“It’s not like the Situ family fears the Dongfangs. But if you kill Dongfang Haoran, they definitely won’t let you off easily. Then troubles will follow one after another. Even if you cripple Dongfang Haoran completely, just leave him alive…”
Situ Lingyu sighed, vaguely trying to persuade him. He knew Xiao Yufan’s temperament too well—once he had made up his mind, even ten horses wouldn’t be able to pull him back.
Xiao Yufan paused slightly, slightly surprised that his grandfather actually harbored some concerns regarding the Dongfang family. But it was only a slight hesitation. He believed that even if he took action against Dongfang Haoran, the Dongfang family wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
“I won’t leave the Dongfang family with any evidence to hold against me…”
Assassination was no difficult task for Xiao Yufan. Even if the Dongfang family protected Dongfang Haoran with layers of security, he still had the strength to erase him completely from this world.
“Whatever you decide to do, the entire Situ family will fully support you. I’ve handed Tianzu over to you—you should understand what your grandfather means. For a family to remain prosperous and enduring, it needs more than just visible strength!”
Grandfather Situ hesitated slightly, but Xiao Yufan still caught the meaning behind his words. However, they both understood each other without needing to explicitly state it, and the old man’s words only further solidified Xiao Yufan’s determination.
After hanging up, Situ Lingyu looked around his luxurious study, a faint smile of satisfaction appearing on his lips. The person who once needed his protection to grow had finally gained the ability to stand on his own.
“Born under an extremely yin fate, the star of destruction—let me see how far this dragon can fly. How could anyone from my Dongfang family ever be ordinary…”
Muttering softly, Situ Lingyu’s slightly aged profile radiated a glow of vigor. Then he dialed another person’s number.
At this moment, Xiao Yufan was already inside the villa, not bothering to concern himself with what was happening outside, not even asking about the matter at Boyaxuan. The Dongfang family weren’t fools—if they had any sense, they wouldn’t escalate things too far.
But could their actions truly spare Dongfang Haoran from his fate? The answer was naturally no. Even if Xiao Yufan’s killing intent had somewhat lessened, it didn’t mean he had any intention of letting this man continue living.
“Do the Dongfang family really think I’m afraid of doing anything? Not a single person has shown up yet. If that’s the case, then I’ll just pay them a personal visit!”
A faint, barely perceptible smile curved his lips, but Xiao Yufan’s expression remained cold. He held absolutely no goodwill toward this so-called Dongfang family. He wouldn’t mind taking action to wipe this family out from Beijing completely—and he was confident he could accomplish that.
“Is Boss planning to move against the Dongfang family?” Tianxuan, standing nearby, asked Xiao Yufan, her eyes slightly gleaming with excitement. Apparently, deep in this girl’s blood, there flowed a kind of bloodthirsty nature. Of course, Xiao Yufan had absolutely no objection to this.
“I just want to meet with the Dongfang family and see how they intend to protect the man I’ve decided to kill…”
His eyes slightly strange, Xiao Yufan also wanted to see what kind of methods the Dongfang family possessed that enabled Dongfang Haoran to wield such power in Beijing. Although much of it was due to Dongfang Haoran’s own abilities, there was also considerable support from the Dongfang family itself.
“I’ll have the Tianzu members prepare themselves and accompany you. I’m afraid they might try some underhanded tricks!”
After receiving Xiao Yufan’s confirmation, Tianxuan nodded. It wasn’t that she doubted Xiao Yufan’s strength, but having Tianzu members around him would make things safer. After all, the Dongfang family probably didn’t possess the capability to detain Xiao Yufan.
