Chapter 26: Chapter 26: The Gatling Gun Emits Blue Flames
Didn't they agree on everything yesterday?
In front of so many people, they publicly announced the annulment of the engagement with the Ye Family, and now Xuan Yufei was declaring her own annulment invalid.
Wasn't that akin to spitting out saliva and then swallowing it back again?
"Princess Yu? Do you know what you're doing?" Xuan Zhengguo strode onto the stage, staring at Xuan Yufei furiously, "By doing this, do you realize you could drag the Xuan Family into a calamity from which there is no return?
Xuan Yufei, still holding Ye Fan's hand, didn't let go. She glared back at Xuan Zhengguo and said, "Uncle, I am already an adult! I am very clear about what I'm doing. I just want to follow my heart and make the right choice!"
"The annulment with Ye Fan yesterday was against my will, it was you who forced me! And today you want me to marry Li Yunyang, that's something I will absolutely not agree to!"
"You..." Xuan Zhengguo, so angry he swung his palm, was about to hit Xuan Yufei, but he held back in the end and continued to plead, "But, Princess Yu, don't you see? Ye Fan has become an imbecile... he's not the same genius he was before! And now that the Ye Family has fallen, there are very powerful enemies targeting them, can't you see that?"
"So what? An imbecile, so what? He's still a thousand times better than the vile Li Yunyang!" Xuan Yufei glanced at Ye Fan beside her, her eyes brimming with tenderness.
Ye Fan could feel Xuan Yufei's emotional changes and was also feeling quite complicated.
This silly girl, had she already made up her mind when she insisted on bringing me here?
Going against the wishes of the family, and to make such a "heinous" declaration of her feelings for me during Li Yunyang's engagement party.
Xuan Yufei indeed mustered immense courage and bore a lot on her own.
Was she trying to make up for the hurt she caused me?
But, what did Xuan Yufei do yesterday?
Sigh!
Xuan Yufei's voice was not loud, but Li Yunyang, who had just approached, happened to hear her words clearly, and was once again struck as if by a devastating blow.
Damn it!
How am I vile and hypocritical? What in the hell did I do wrong?
"Even if Brother Fan is an imbecile, I'm willing to stand by him! That's my choice... Uncle, if you want to form an alliance with the Li Family, find someone else to marry him!" With that said, Xuan Yufei, holding Ye Fan's hand, prepared to leave the venue.
Whoosh!
In an instant, numerous bodyguards and brawny men surged from around the stage, encircling Ye Fan and Xuan Yufei.
"Hold it! Do you think this is your vegetable garden? Come and go as you please?" Li Yunyang walked out from behind the bodyguards, his gaze coldly fixed on Ye Fan and Xuan Yufei, "Xuan Yufei, I really don't know if you've lost your mind, insisting on following an idiot..."
No sooner had he spoken these words than Li Yunyang felt his buttocks clench.
Earlier, outside the main gate, Li Yunyang was already dealt with by Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui had warned that if he dared insult Ye Fan as an imbecile again, for every insult, he would receive a slap.
But now, with so many bodyguards around him, Wang Fugui shouldn't be able to lay a hand on him, right?
Li Yunyang quickly covered his face, then looked left and right. Not seeing Wang Fugui, he reassured himself and took his hands away.
Smack!
But the next moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and slapped Li Yunyang's face.
Li Yunyang's face was once again solidly struck by a slap.
"Li Yunyang, do you really have no memory? I've said before that if you dare to insult my big brother again, for each insult, Laotzu will smack you once!" Wang Fugui leaped onto a table, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "Not just Li Yunyang, I don't want to hear any of you ever again calling my big brother an idiot!"
"Holy shit! You bastard..."
Li Yunyang had completely lost his mind. Just now, outside, he had endured being accidentally ambushed, but now, inside the banquet hall, surrounded by his bodyguards, he had still been hit. And it wasn't just about losing face—it was about disgracing the entire Li Family and his godfather, Liu Ran, in front of so many guests.
Li Zhong at his side couldn't sit still either. "Wang Fugui! Even your father has to speak to me with respect, what the hell are you? Someone come, teach him a lesson for his parents!"
With a wave of his hand, Li Zhong called forth more martial arts experts, many of whom were masters of martial arts.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense!
A major fight seemed about to break out!
Boom, boom, boom!
Li Hu, holding a bottle of wine, knocked it on the table a few times. "What's this? What's this? Can't we have a civilized discussion without resorting to violence? Those not afraid of dying can give it a try... "
Li Hu, the underground godfather of Cloud City, didn't raise his voice, but his words carried significant weight in Cloud City.
The agitated bodyguards on the scene immediately began to quiet down.
On one hand, it was naturally the pressure from Li Hu.
On the other hand...
What the hell!
Behind Li Hu, a bare-chested strong man had actually brought out a Gatling gun spitting blue flames. A circle of dark muzzles aimed at Li Yunyang, Li Zhong, and the others.
Is there no law anymore? No justice?
Below the grandmaster level martial arts experts, as well as ordinary people, none were unafraid of bullets!
Could Li Hu be so arrogant? Bringing a Gatling gun with him!
Li Yunyang, Li Zhong, and the others were stunned, not daring to move an inch!
"Can we talk properly now?" Li Hu's calm voice broke the silence, and Li Zhong couldn't help but wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.
The underground godfather of Cloud City, Li Hu, seemed to have become entangled with Ye Fan.
With this development, even with Liu Ran's support, the Li Family was facing some trouble in Cloud City.
Xuan Yufei was also taken aback by the scene before her.
She had just heard about Su Yixue being hunted down. It was said that Li Hu and the Governor of Cloud City had intervened to rescue Su Yixue, and Old Wolf Wu had been wiped out.
These influential figures, who could shake Cloud City with a stomp of their feet, why would they help Su Yixue?
It could only be for the sake of Ye Fan, but did Ye Fan really have that much clout?
She hoped for a good outcome for herself in the future!
Li Zhong and Li Yunyang didn't dare to make another move, as Xuan Yufei, arm in arm with Ye Fan, prepared to leave the hall.
But Xuan Zhengguo suddenly spoke up, "Wait! Princess Yu, you should look at your father's condition in the hospital before you make your final decision."
As he spoke, Xuan Zhengguo dialed the video call on his phone and handed it to Xuan Yufei.
In the video, Xuan Yufei's father, Xuan Zhenghua, lay on a hospital bed, and beside him, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat held a syringe filled with a green liquid, its tip pointed at Xuan Zhenghua's neck, ready to inject at any moment!
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Xuan Yufei's face changed dramatically when she saw the scene before her, and she angrily stared at Xuan Zhengguo.
Xuan Zhengguo's mouth twitched as he spoke softly, "Princess Yu, you've forced your uncle's hand! What the doctor has prepared there isn't anything else—just arsenic or the like, enough to ensure your father never wakes up again... If you dare take one step out of this hall today, think carefully about the consequences..."
