The Huo Family still had their connections and channels; besides, they had prepared various ergency contingencies for a long ti!
So when Old Master Huo told the core mbers of the family to prepare to flee, all mbers of the family started to take action.
But soon news ca back!
"Great-Grandfather, the ports have been sealed off—we're all on the list of people forbidden to leave!"
"The airlines have also been controlled; they have inford us we cannot leave!"
"Our vehicles attempting to leave have been stopped; we were told we are not allowed to leave Harbor City!"
In less than ten minutes, the Huo Family had received news that all three routes—sea, land, and air—had been blockaded... of course, only against the mbers of the Huo Family.
"Ah! The Huo Family is finished!"
Old Master Huo collapsed into his chair, listening to this news, and seed to age decades in an instant.
But soon Old Master Huo began to wonder, "That's not right! If the people from the Town Martial Hall have discovered us, then why haven't they taken action against us? Why haven't they captured us?"
To keep every mber of the Huo Family blocked in Harbor City without taking action, what was this supposed to an?
In reality, this state of things was the most tornting for the Huo Family.
Either just take direct action against the Huo Family and capture everyone—in that case, it would be over with one blow!
Or, make it clear that they were letting the Huo Family go, then the Huo Family wouldn't have anything to worry about.
But now, to have all core mbers of the Huo Family surrounded in Harbor City under strict control, without taking action, but possibly taking action at any mont.
This unknown fear was starting to unsettle Old Master Huo.
"We don't know either! Great-Grandfather, what should we do now? This is too unbearable!"
"Yes! I'm so scared that in the middle of the night, soone will suddenly pull out of bed!"
"Don't talk about it; I'm scared to even sleep now, or even to step outside... Right now I feel like there are eyes watching !"
A feeling of panic spread within the Huo Family, throwing the whole family into chaos.
And Ye Fan, this was exactly the feeling he wanted.
Using such ans to deter those with devious ideas!
At this mont, Old Master Huo was full of regret. If only he had known, he wouldn't have followed Prince Jin's advice to enter the Capital so quickly.
It was also because of the information from Prince Jin's side, saying Ye Fan had been blown up, that the Huo Family had begun to take action today. In the end, Ye Fan had "died," and then suddenly there was a brother-in-law.
So annoying!
"Dad! About Prince Jin... should we make a phone call for help? At least to get Xiao Jie out!" Huo Kai, Old Master Huo's son, spoke with a worried expression.
Old Master Huo shook his head, "No need! We may have beco just pawns... Since the Town Martial Hall hasn't apprehended us yet, there might still be a chance... But this chance, it all hinges on Fan Ye! Let's let the bullets fly for a while... Our Huo Family might have to make a new choice when the ti cos!"
Old Master Huo had thought through a lot at that mont, his mind seemingly grasping so crucial elents, but exactly what they were, he wasn't quite sure yet!
…
Capital, Ling Family!
Because of Ling Bo's downfall, most of the core shareholders of Ling Group had gathered at the Ling Family, so Ling Yanqiu simply called all the shareholders to the Ling Mansion for a eting, announcing several strong personnel appointnts.
The entire Ling Group had reached an unprecedented unity.
There wouldn't be any major turmoil within the Ling Family now!
"Ladies and gentlen, my second uncle can no longer continue working, so I must rely on all of you for the company's matters. Right now, our most important task is our business confrontation with the Wu Family... I hope everyone can contribute more effort in our business competition with the Wu Family..."
Ling Yanqiu, after giving a motivational speech to all the shareholders, dismissed the eting.
Watching as everyone left, she couldn't help but think about the business banquet that evening.
Tonight's business banquet was involved with a major project cooperation opportunity in the Capital for one of the Supre Families of the Ancient Martial Arts world… Securing this opportunity ant gaining the support of that Ancient Martial Family.
The Ling Family's archenemy, the Wu Family, was also vying for this opportunity, and rumor had it that they had more tricks up their sleeves, having already made secret contact with the responsible person from the Ancient Martial Family.
What should she do tonight…
Ling Yanqiu's gaze involuntary drifted towards the depths of the Ling Mansion, and Ye Fan's image popped up in her mind first thing.
That heartless Ye Fan, was he really blasted to death?
With the situation currently unknown, should she consult her sister about borrowing her brother-in-law, Fan Ye, for the evening's business banquet?
Pah!
As soon as this thought appeared, Ling Yanqiu felt her face flush with embarrassnt.
Ling Yanqiu, what the hell are you thinking about?
What does "borrowing" even an?
It's just that there might be danger at tonight's banquet. Having Fan Ye accompany her for protection wasn't a bad idea, right?
Yes!
That's it!
Moreover, Ling Yanqiu harbored another question in her heart.
Was there any connection between that Fan Ye and Ye Fan? If only she had the opportunity to pull down his pants and see if there was a mole on his butt, that would settle it!
"President Ling… President Ling… what are you thinking about?" Ling Yanqiu's secretary had been calling out to her for quite a while, raising her voice a bit before Ling Yanqiu snapped back to reality.
"Ah? Xiao Fang, what is it? Did you call ?" Ling Yanqiu replied with a slightly unnatural expression.
"President Ling, should we go back to the company now? You said earlier you had to make a trip to the Northwest, are we still going?" Xiao Fang looked over her notes, "Also, you have to prepare so materials for the business banquet tonight if you want to secure that Ancient Martial Family project. Do you want to go back to the company to prepare now?"
Ling Yanqiu adjusted her emotions and waved her hand at Xiao Fang, "You go back and prepare the materials first. I have to take care of so things at ho! Then I'll head to the company… As for going to the Northwest, let's talk about that later…"
She decided then and there, no matter what, she should first test this brother-in-law Fan Ye!
If Fan Ye really was Ye Fan?
Then she wouldn't need to go to the Northwest!
With that, Ling Yanqiu stepped towards her sister Ling Yifei's residence!
Behind Ling Yanqiu, the gray-robed elder responsible for protecting her, flashed a mischievous smile and shook his head helplessly.
…
"Fan Ye, you can't run away! You're obviously my boyfriend, so what's wrong with taking off your clothes?"
In the guest room of Ling Yifei's separate courtyard, Ye Fan was cornered against the wall by Ling Yifei, who stared at him intensely while pressing her body against his.
And Ye Fan, trapped in the corner like a wronged little wife, looked at Ling Yifei with so helplessness and said, "Yifei! Don't be like this, we're moving too fast… It's not good…"
Although Ye Fan had ntally prepared himself, knowing that if Ling Yifei brought him to her private annex, she must have had her designs on his good looks!
But when Ling Yifei actually pounced towards him, Ye Fan hesitated.
Ye Fan did like beautiful won, but on one hand, he'd just t Ling Yifei and they had no real emotional connection! On the other hand, Ling Yifei was Ling Yanqiu's sister, and if he slept with Ling Yifei now, how would he ever explain himself to his would-be sister-in-law?
Even if he were to sleep with her… there had to be a proper order…
