e position of head of the family, there was no way he could intimidate Zhu Hu.Ding Ran remained silent, only staring at Cang Kongkong. Her bright, sparkling eyes seemed to see right through him. Seein...Chapter 404: The Ding Family's Scheme

"Let's just forget about the past. I have my own principles." Ye Fan said, taking a puff of his cigarette and exhaling slowly. He crushed the cigarette butt, stood up, and continued, "Xu Chu, I understand what the organization wants. Rest assured, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Ye Fan," Xu Chu also stood up. After drinking several bottles of alcohol, Xu Chu's face was only slightly flushed, but his eyes were a bit complicated.

Ye Fan strode toward the door. Just as he was about to reach it, he suddenly stopped and slowly turned around. At that moment, his body stood straight, and he saluted Xu with a military salute. Then, he said seriously: "Xu, thank you for your cultivation and guidance. No matter when or where, no matter what I become, Ye Fan, you are my master, my brother."

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Xu Chu's eyes became a bit moist. Looking at the brother who used to eat and drink with him, his heart ached slightly. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out. While Ye Fan turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

After Ye Fan left, two men in jackets walked in and stood respectfully beside Xu Chu, their faces still flushed with excitement.

"Xu Chu, what should we do now" one of the shorter men asked.

Xu Chu sat back down in his seat, took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag. He then spoke in a low voice: "Everyone take a break today. No need to keep watching."

At this moment, Xu Chu radiated an aura of authority. He was no longer the man who had been with Ye Fan just moments ago, his true emotions clearly visible. Now, all that remained was the sternness and coldness cultivated over years of service in the National Security Department.

"Xu Chu, didn't we say to keep an eye on him at all times" The person who spoke first seemed a little confused by Xu Chu's order. Their previous mission was to monitor Ye Fan's every move.

Xu Chu exhaled a plume of smoke and said expressionlessly, "He's my brother, one of my men. Since he promised me he wouldn't interfere today, he will keep his word. As for the other surveillance, if he wants to avoid you, can you really keep tabs on him"

The two intelligence agents were stunned, but they didn't refute. Because in their line of work at intelligence, they naturally understood what Longya represented. I'm afraid that even if the ten of them joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Longya.

Therefore, they wholeheartedly believed Xu Chu's words. It wasn't that they were incompetent, but Longya was simply too powerful. For Longya to evade their surveillance would be child's play.

"Also, have the National Security Bureau in Linhai City start an investigation into the Ouyang family." After taking a drag of his cigarette, Xu Chu seemed to think of something and ordered coldly.

"Yes." Hearing Xu Chu's order, the man immediately said respectfully.

Ye Fan walked out of the hotel and immediately noticed several agents secretly monitoring him. He didn't care, directly walked to his car, opened the door and jumped in.

When he drove to school, those agents didn't follow him. Seeing that it was already eleven o'clock, he didn't go to school, but called Wang Yan instead and told her about the heavy object going to meet Wu Xia.

Hearing that she was going to meet Wu Xia at noon, Wang Yan immediately stopped her work and started getting ready. While Ye Fan parked his car in a small alley outside the school, put a chair flat, and lay on it with his eyes closed.

Just as he was taking a nap with his eyes closed, in a villa by the sea, Ding Can and Ding Jianlin, two men, were sitting in a living room. Their faces were filled with excitement, nervousness, and a hint of worry.

“Brother Chan, I've already talked to the police.” As the head of the Armed Forces Department in Linhai City, Ding Jianlin had a wide network of contacts within both the military and law enforcement systems of Linhai City. Moreover, the Ding family had invested a lot of money and effort in cultivating him. His connections, both up and down, were woven together piece by piece relying on the reputation of the Ding family.

So, when Ding Can planned the whole thing, he first found his best brother, Ding Jianlin, to help him connect with people at all levels.

Upon hearing Ding Jianlin's words, Ding Can nodded and said, "What about the Armed Police Corps"

"Tang Yiming that fellow simply ignored me." Ding Jianlin frowned, thinking of the awkwardness when he went to visit Tang Yiming and was refused. His face immediately became a little unsightly. Then he said: "We often called each other brothers before, but when something really happened, he didn't even show his face."

Ding Can sneered and said, "Tang Yiming has always been the backer of that little girl Si Kong Yanran. This time, the alliance between the Si Kong family and the Ding family is probably still based on Tang Yiming. But it doesn't matter, when I truly control the Ding family, Tang Yiming and Si Kong Yanran will not be asking us." After saying this, he snorted coldly.

"Well, if Tang Yiming supports Ding Lei then" Ding Jianlin seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

“Impossible.” Ding Can sneered, then continued, “This kind of old fox in the officialdom is best at seeing which way the wind blows. They won’t bet on one person, nor will they clearly state who they will help. They will only cooperate with the winner. So, he’s just waiting for the final result.”

As the head of the Wugong detachment in Linhai City, Tang Yiming naturally possessed an influence that the Ding family couldn't afford to underestimate.

“As long as the Public Security Bureau doesn’t show up tonight, everything will be fine.” Ding Can lit a cigar, took a puff, and continued, “Yuwen Wuqing is also operating on the surface. As long as Tang Yiming remains inactive and the Public Security Bureau doesn’t interfere. Once tonight is over, everything will be up to us.”

Ding Jianlin nodded, but there was still a hint of hesitation on his face. He then said, "Is the Yuwen family reliable"

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Everyone takes what they need.” Ding Can spit out the cigarette in his mouth and continued, “The Yuwen family wants to take this opportunity to annex the Wang family and become the number one family in Linhai City. We will let them have their way. In a few years, the Ding family will still regain its former glory.”

"And what about the Li family and the Si family, who are now cooperating with the Ding family" Ding Jianlin asked.

"Humph, they think they can develop by leveraging the Ding family's power. After tomorrow, I will terminate all cooperation with them. Even if we suffer some losses, it doesn't matter; the Ding family can still afford it. But them Humph, let them cry!" Ding Can placed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray and continued, "Without the Ding family's protection, do you think the Li family and the Sikong clan will have any room to exist in this chaos"

As Ding Can said, if he truly became the head of the family, due to the agreement with the Yuwen family, these families would unite and immediately target the Li family and the Si Kong family.

"But behind the Si Kong family is Tang Yiming, and that boy," Ding Jianlin frowned and said.

(cqs!)vel won't be so high.""That's right, and what about our Teacher Li Oh, I remembered something," Ye Fan continued. "Her daughter is quite influential, so a few words from her would carry a lot of weigh...
