“Speak up! What brings you to the capital city!”
Upon seeing the three men, Xiao Yufan’s eyes flickered with a cold glint. Although the leader was somewhat of a skilled fighter, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he was utterly insignificant.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re just here for fun. Your people detained us here—what does this mean?”
Feeling the intensity of Xiao Yufan’s gaze, the leader felt a chill run down his back. Naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth at this moment. If they denied everything, they still had a chance to survive; but if they confessed, they might never leave this place alive.
“Speak up, what brings you to the capital!”
Upon seeing the three individuals, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yufan’s eyes. Although the leader could be considered somewhat skilled, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he was nothing.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re just here for some fun, but your people detained us. What’s the meaning of this?”
Feeling Xiao Yufan’s gaze, the leader felt a chill run down his spine. Naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth at this moment. Denial might still give them a chance to survive, but honesty would likely mean they wouldn’t make it out alive.
“Don’t test my patience with your attitude, and don’t cross my bottom line. Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to make your lives a living hell!”
Xiao Yufan certainly had methods to deal with such people. As he finished speaking, he clearly noticed the three of them trembling. They weren’t fearless; they were just putting on a brave face.
Moreover, these three were merely puppets of the northern consortium, playing the role of scapegoats. As for more important matters, they certainly wouldn’t be involved. Xiao Yufan only wanted to know their plan.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. If I do, will you let me go?”
Under the pressure of that imposing aura, one of them finally cracked. He wasn’t a tough guy; he just knew that survival was more important than anything else. If he failed at this task, he’d just run as far away as possible.
Even that would be better than falling into Xiao Yufan’s hands. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was no less than a demon.
“Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? If what you say is useful, I might consider letting you go. But if I’m not satisfied, your fate will be the same!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile sent shivers down everyone’s spines. What kind of person was he? Fan Le’s smile, on the other hand, was somewhat amused. This man’s transformation was indeed remarkable; he was much more domineering now than before.
“We’re from the northern consortium. We came to the capital just to start a fire. Our orders were to burn down one of the Lone Wolf Company’s properties…”
Ignoring the glare from his leader, the man spilled the beans. One had to admire their courage—starting a fire in the capital? Did they not fear they wouldn’t make it out alive?
“What else?”
“After we did it, we were supposed to call our boss. They wanted to use this to threaten Miss Liu. As for the rest, I really don’t know!”
Not daring to look Xiao Yufan in the eye, the man felt as if he had been completely seen through. He spoke tremblingly, fearing that a single misstep could lead to his demise. He had no doubt that this man had the power to do so.
“Then you can call your boss now. Tell him you’ve done what you were supposed to do…”
Xiao Yufan had little interest in these small fry, but he was very curious about who their boss was—a key figure in the northern consortium, or just another pawn.
“I have the boss’s number. I’ll call, I’ll call!”
Seeing all the attention being taken away, another man panicked and quickly pulled out his phone, dialing the boss’s number.
Xiao Yufan smiled without speaking, just shaking his head. However, this guy’s performance was quite satisfying. At least he could read the situation and make the right decision.
“Hey, boss, we’ve done what you asked. About the money…”
“Once the situation is confirmed, you’ll get your money!”
Hearing the report, the person on the other end of the line sounded excited. It was just a woman—how hard could it be to handle? He hadn’t even considered the possibility that the information might be false.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan also dialed Liu Hua’s number. He figured the two girls should be up by now. Remembering the wildness of last night, he felt a surge of excitement.
“Hubby, you went out fooling around so early in the morning? Didn’t Liu Hua and I satisfy you enough?”
First came the voice of the little enchantress, Dongfang Yanran. Xiao Yufan nearly fainted. Only this little minx would dare speak to him like this, but she was blatantly wronging him.
“Yanran, give the phone to Liu Hua. I have something important to discuss with her!”
Xiao Yufan chuckled helplessly. He couldn’t do anything about this little minx. He never gained the upper hand when talking to her. Fortunately, she knew when to stop, or else he would have been very embarrassed.
“Favoring the new over the old!” Dongfang Yanran muttered softly before handing the phone to Liu Hua, forgetting that Liu Hua was Xiao Yufan’s official fiancée. If anything, she was the new one.
Liu Hua was a conservative woman, especially when thinking about last night’s wildness. Her stunningly beautiful face was still flushed, as if it could drip with water. Hearing Xiao Yufan call her name added a touch of shyness.
“Hubby, why did you run out so early in the morning? I thought you went to see Sister Yi Han and the others!”
At this moment, Liu Hua resembled a newlywed bride, her words filled with indescribable tenderness. The corner of her mouth curved into a charming smile, though Xiao Yufan couldn’t see it.
“Remember what I told you last night about the northern consortium? Their people have shown up. If someone calls to threaten you or asks to meet, just act like you know nothing and agree.”
Xiao Yufan had to keep it brief. Once that guy finished calling his boss, the so-called boss would surely contact Liu Hua. He couldn’t afford any slip-ups. He wanted to see just how many eyes that boss had.
Daring to cause trouble on the Dark Gate’s turf—they should take a good look in the mirror and see if they had the qualifications…
Xiao Yufan then noticed that the man had hung up the phone. A proud smile curved his lips. In his eyes, these three were now useless.
“You caught them; do whatever you want with them!” Xiao Yufan shrugged, tossing the mess to Fan Le. This guy had been watching from the sidelines; it was time to give him something to do. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Fan Le was somewhat stunned—seems like he got caught in the crossfire.
From there, things would be much simpler. The northern consortium’s reach was indeed long, but since they had reached onto his turf, he naturally had to teach them a lesson they deserved…
Xiao Yufan naturally had ways of dealing with people like him. After saying this, he clearly sensed the three men trembling slightly. They weren’t fearless—they were merely pretending to be calm.
Besides, these three were nothing more than puppets for the Northern Consortium, serving merely as scapegoats. The real important matters were far beyond their reach. Xiao Yufan only wanted to know their plan.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! If I do, will you let me go?”
Under the pressure of that overwhelming aura, one of them finally cracked. He wasn’t some tough guy—he only cared about staying alive. At worst, if he failed his mission, he’d just run as far away as possible.
Anything was better than falling into this man’s hands. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was no less than a demon…
“Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate with me? If what you say proves useful, I wouldn’t mind letting you go. But if I’m not satisfied, your fate will be the same!”
Xiao Yufan’s smile sent chills down everyone’s spines. What kind of person was this? Meanwhile, Fan Le wore a slightly amused expression. This man had certainly changed a lot—he was far more domineering now than before.
“We’re from the Northern Consortium. This time in the capital, we were just supposed to start a fire. Our superiors ordered us to burn down one of Solo Corporation’s properties…”
Ignoring the warning glare from his leader, the man obediently spilled the beans. One couldn’t help but admire their audacity—starting a fire in the capital city? Didn’t they fear they’d never leave here alive?
“Anything else?”
“Also, after finishing the job, we were supposed to call our boss. They wanted to use this to threaten Miss Liu. As for anything else, I really don’t know!”
Afraid to look Xiao Yufan in the eyes, the man felt as if he were being seen through completely. He spoke hesitantly, fearing that one wrong word might cost him his life. He had no doubt this man had the power to kill him.
“Then now you can call your boss and tell him you’ve completed the task…”
Xiao Yufan had no real interest in these small fry, but he was very curious to know who this boss was—was this person a key figure in the Northern Consortium, or just another pawn?
“I have the boss’s number. I’ll call, I’ll call!”
Seeing his companions take all the initiative, the third man grew anxious and quickly pulled out his phone, dialing the boss’s number.
Xiao Yufan simply smiled without speaking, shaking his head slightly. However, this man’s performance had impressed him—this one at least had the sense to assess the situation correctly and make the right decision.
“Hey boss, we’ve finished what you asked us to do. Now about the money…”
“After confirmation, the money will definitely be yours!”
On the other end of the line, the boss sounded excited. After all, how hard could it be to handle just one woman? He hadn’t even considered the authenticity of this message.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan dialed Liu Hua’s number. He figured those two girls should be awake by now. Thinking back to the girl’s passion last night, he felt a rush of excitement surge through his body.
“Honey, did you run off early in the morning to fool around? Are we not enough to satisfy you, me and Hua Hua?”
“Speak up, what brings you to the capital!”
Upon seeing the three individuals, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yufan’s eyes. Although the leader could barely be considered a skilled fighter, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he was nothing.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re just here for some fun, but your people have detained us. What’s the meaning of this?”
Feeling Xiao Yufan’s gaze, the leader felt a chill run down his spine. Naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth at this moment. Denial might still give them a chance to survive, but honesty would likely mean they wouldn’t leave here alive.
“Don’t test my patience with your attitude, and don’t cross my bottom line, or I have ten thousand ways to make your lives a living hell!”
Dealing with such people, Xiao Yufan naturally had his methods. As he finished speaking, he clearly noticed the three of them tremble. They weren’t fearless; they were just putting on a brave front.
Moreover, these three were merely puppets of the northern consortium, serving as scapegoats. As for the more critical matters, they certainly wouldn’t be involved. Xiao Yufan only wanted to know their plan.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. If I do, will you let me go…”
Under the pressure of that imposing aura, one of them finally couldn’t take it anymore. He wasn’t a tough guy; he only knew that survival was more important than anything else. If he failed at this task, he would just flee as far as possible.
Even that would be better than falling into Xiao Yufan’s hands. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan was no less than a demon…

First, it was the voice of the little enchantress, Dongfang Yanran. Xiao Yufan nearly fainted. Probably only this little enchantress dared to speak to him like this, but she was blatantly wronging a good man.
“Yanran, pass the phone to Liu Hua. I have something important to discuss with her!”
Xiao Yufan chuckled helplessly. He couldn’t do anything about this little enchantress. He never gained the upper hand in conversations with her. Fortunately, she knew when to stop, or he would have been very embarrassed.

At this point, Xiao Yufan had to be brief. After that guy called his boss, the so-called boss would surely contact Liu Hua. He couldn’t afford any slip-ups. He wanted to see how many eyes the boss behind this had.

Not daring to meet Xiao Yufan’s gaze, the man felt as if he had been completely seen through. He spoke timidly, fearing that a single misstep could lead to his demise. He had no doubt about this man’s capabilities.
“Then you can call your boss now. Tell him you’ve completed the task…”
Xiao Yufan had little interest in these small fry, but he was very curious about who their boss was—a key figure in the northern consortium or just another pawn.
“I have the boss’s number. I’ll call, I’ll call!”

Xiao Yufan then noticed that the man had hung up the phone. A proud smile curved his lips. In his eyes, these three were now useless.
“You caught them; do as you please!” Xiao Yufan shrugged, tossing the mess to Fan Le. This guy had been watching from the sidelines; it was time to give him something to do. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Fan Le was stunned, feeling like he had been caught in the crossfire.
What followed would be much simpler. The northern consortium’s reach was indeed long, but since they had overstepped onto his turf, he naturally had to teach them a lesson they deserved…
“Chasing new love and abandoning old!” Dongfang Yanran muttered softly before handing the phone to Liu Hua. But she seemed to forget—Liu Hua was the real fiancée, so technically, wasn’t she the ‘new’ one?
Liu Hua was a rather reserved woman, especially thinking about last night’s passion. Her beautiful, enchanting face had remained flushed, as if it could drip with moisture. Hearing Xiao Yufan call her, she became even more shy and tender.
“Honey, why did you leave so early in the morning? I thought you went to see Sister Yi Han and the others!”
At this moment, Liu Hua resembled a newlywed bride, her words brimming with affection. A gentle smile curved her lips, a seductive charm Xiao Yufan couldn’t see.
“Do you remember me telling you about the Northern Consortium last night? Their men have appeared. If someone calls to threaten you later, or asks you to meet them, just pretend you know nothing and agree to it!”
At this point, Xiao Yufan could only keep it brief. After the man finished calling his boss, that so-called boss would surely approach Liu Hua. He couldn’t afford any slip-ups. He wanted to see just how many eyes this boss thought he had.
Daring to stir up trouble on the Dark Gate’s turf—didn’t he even bother to check himself in the mirror to see if he had the qualifications…
Xiao Yufan then noticed that the man had already hung up. A proud smirk curled his lips. In his eyes, these three were now of no further use.
“You caught them, so do whatever you want with them!” Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yufan handed the mess over to Fan Le. The guy had been watching the whole show from the sidelines—he should give him something to do. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Fan Le looked stunned. So even lying low hadn’t saved him from getting dragged in!
Well, things would be easier from now on. The Northern Consortium had indeed extended their reach far and wide. But now that they had dared to reach for him, he naturally had to teach them the lesson they deserved…
