BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29: Chapter 29: You're so nice it's a bit too much, watch out or I might hammer you!
"Let's go," said Xuan Zhengguo, somewhat dispirited. He had originally planned to marry off Princess Yu to Li Yunyang so as to collaborate with the Li Family, allowing Xuan Zhengguo to gain control of the Xuan Family more quickly and securely, and even to cling to the Provincial City's Liu Family.
Although Xuan Zhengguo held not insignificant prestige within the Xiao Xuan's Home, he could interfere in many of Xuan Yufei's affairs. However, this line, appointed personally by the old master, was not something Xuan Zhengguo could straightforwardly overpower, as he still lacked sufficient strength.
And now, at the engagement scene, Li Yunyang had died on the spot.
The engagement naturally ended there and then, and with the death of Li Zhong's only son, this matter was far from over. Whether Li Zhong would come after Xuan Zhengguo for trouble remained uncertain.
"Hmph!" Xuan Yufei snorted coldly at Xuan Zhengguo and, without giving her uncle another glance, she swiftly walked out of the hall.
The events of today had completely torn the façade between Xuan Zhengguo and Xuan Yufei.
The current situation was no longer just about Xuan Zhengguo refusing to pay for Xuan Yufei's father's medical expenses; it was essentially Xuan Zhengguo restricting the movements of Xuan Yufei's father.
Thus, what Xuan Yufei now considered was to swiftly get her father out of the hospital arranged by her uncle.
Rushing out of the hall, Xuan Yufei chased all the way to the downstairs but didn't see any sign of Ye Fan.
...
Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Wang Fugui, and others left in their car.
It was still early, and Su Yixue was busy with company matters. Ye Fan suddenly thought of the incident where Xuan Zhengguo blackmailed Xuan Yufei with her father's situation and decided to help Xuan Yufei eliminate this hidden danger.
But that guy Wang Fugui had been sticking close to Ye Fan since they left the hotel, and Ye Fan found no opportunity to speak to Xia Hao.
"Elder brother, are you 'awake' now? Just tell me; I swear I won't tell anyone else!"
Wang Fugui stared intently at Ye Fan; this was already his thirtieth time asking Ye Fan.
"Old Wang, why do you keep asking me if I'm 'awake'? It's still daytime; I haven't even been sleeping! It's so hot; can you keep your distance?" Ye Fan said, somewhat speechless. His simple-minded brother, although not the brightest, was actually not dumb.
After so many coincidences occurred, he finally noticed something was amiss!
Taking advantage of the moment Wang Fugui moved aside, Ye Fan secretly sent a message to Xia Hao. After reading the message, Xia Hao quickly instructed Li Hu to investigate the Xuan Family, and news came back swiftly.
"Turn around! To The Third People's Hospital!" Xia Hao commanded the driver upfront.
Wang Fugui looked curious, "Director Xia, it's about to get dark; shouldn't we be heading home? What are we doing at The Third People's Hospital?"
Xia Hao glanced at Ye Fan with a sense of helplessness. He certainly couldn't say that Young Master Ye was going to save his former father-in-law, right?
So he had no choice but to respond reluctantly, "Oh! Didn't we see Miss Xuan's father in the hospital earlier? We might as well pay a visit and see if we can be of any help!"
"Is that it?" Wang Fugui rubbed his head, puzzled, "Director Xia, aren't you being a bit too nice? Be careful or I might have to punch you, you know?"
Wang Fugui, the simpleton, couldn't help but feel that the air was filled with a strange vibe.
A provincial city's super tycoon, a wealthy magnate dominating the Southwestern Region, following a fool around without any apparent reason?
Just because Ye Fan saved his life five years ago, he's been helping Ye Fan from all directions, sparing no expense? Aside from helping Su Yixue, he was even helping Xuan Yufei, and now he's even going to help Xuan Yufei's father?
However, Wang Fugui's dense head couldn't make sense of it all just yet!
And by the time he did figure it out, Ye Fan would probably have already made a high-profile comeback.
"Don't worry! You've been by my side all along, and you know I mean no harm to Young Master Ye!" Xia Hao said to Wang Fugui, his expression a mixture of laughter and tears.
Li Hu, the underworld godfather of Cloud City who followed in the car, was obviously much smarter than Wang Fugui.
When Xia Hao suddenly decided to trace Xuan Zhenghua's whereabouts and visit him at the hospital, Wang Meng, one of the Four Great Vajra who accompanied Li Hu, couldn't understand, "Lord Hu, what's with our big boss behind the scenes? Is he full and got nothing better to do? Running around a fool every day, what's he after?"
"Shut up! Don't speak nonsense. The boss's arrangements have their reasons. Just follow instructions!" Li Hu harshly scolded Wang Meng, then continued, "Also! I warn you, from now on, show enough respect to Young Master Ye, whether in person or behind his back, always address him as Young Master Ye, understand?"
"If I ever hear you calling Young Master Ye a fool again, I'll cut out your tongues!"
From Xia Hao taking Ye Fan out to dinner, to Ye Fan exhibiting his powers when saving Su Yixue during a crisis, to the sudden death of Li Yunyang.
Linking all these events together, Li Hu already had a vague guess in his heart.
Perhaps, the demonic prodigy of the Ye Family has already awakened like a dragon reborn!
Otherwise, how could the Zhao Family be annihilated? How could Li Yunyang's death be such a coincidence?
And moreover, behind the scenes, Xia Hao dominated the Southwestern Region, such a brilliant man. Even if Ye Fan did indeed save his life, cooperation with the Su Family was already enough to repay the favor. Was there a need to continue to fawn over him like this?
Thinking back to five years ago, when Ye Fan was at the peak of his monstrous talent.
A flame flickered in Li Hu's eyes. As long as he diligently did his work and received even a slight favor from Young Master Ye, he would be set for life.
And indeed, Li Hu's decision proved to be absolutely correct!
For years afterwards, Li Hu would boast to his children and grandchildren about how wise he had been back in the day...
As Ye Fan, Xia Hao, Li Hu and others were rushing toward The Third People's Hospital, Xuan Zhengguo was hurriedly ordering his subordinates, "Quick! Notify the hospital immediately, Xuan Zhenghua needs to be moved away!"
Xuan Zhengguo had now completely burned bridges with Xuan Yufei!
A confrontation over the control of Xuan Corporation was inevitable between them.
And Xuan Zhenghua was a card in Xuan Zhengguo's hand, one he wouldn't let go of until he secured complete control over Xuan Corporation.
...
As Ye Fan and Xia Hao were nearly at the hospital, they received a report from Li Hu's subordinate, "Director Xia, the hospital seems to have noticed something. They're processing the transfer paperwork and planning to move away!"
"Hold them off!"
As Xia Hao was responding, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Fan.
Is this the talent of a demonically gifted prodigy?
Always one step ahead in foretelling events!
If Ye Fan and the others had acted a little later, or waited for Princess Yu to act, it might have been too late.
By the time Ye Fan and Xia Hao reached outside of the special care ward, room 306, Li Hu's men and those arranged by Xuan Zhengguo were in a standoff.
"Sorry! Without Director Xuan's orders, we can't let you take Xuan Zhenghua away!"
Bang bang!
"Your orders, my ass! You dare to mess with my big brother's father-in-law? You're asking for it!"
Wang Fugui now also understood the purpose of some people coming here; without any hesitation, he directly punched and burst the opponents, guarding Ye Fan as they moved toward the hospital room...
