Of course, Xiaofan knew that this time he would definitely anger the Red Butterfly again. After all, with so much cargo and such a long planning time, it was simply impossible for it to be...

The topic of the interview was, of course, centered around the hero. For example, why was Chen Baicheng willing to take such a big risk to help the police? The answer would definitely be to maintain a quality living environment—it's everyone's responsibility, right? How could we let all that filth surround our beautiful homes?

The reward was just a small amount of money and a banner. Money—Chen Baicheng had plenty of it. He didn't care about any fame. As long as his daughter was safe and his brothers could follow him and have a meal, that was enough.

After the interview was over, the reporters had all left, and only then did Xiaofan slowly walk down.

"Xiaofan, what's really going on here?" Chen Baicheng asked softly.

"Nothing. Where's breakfast? I'm hungry." To be honest, Xiaofan wasn't one to be polite. They both understood each other's personalities, so Xiaofan wasn't as restrained as he used to be.

But what Xiaofan didn't know was that after he finished breakfast, a large group of people arrived at Chen Baicheng's house, and Xiaofan had actually seen most of them before.

"Look, today I've called you all here to announce something. If one day I die inexplicably, then the next leader will be my daughter, Chen Mei'Er. You all have no problem with that, right?"

"No problem."

Their answers were loud and clear. Of course, no one would be hypocritical enough to say something like 'Brother Cheng won't die.' That would be flattery, and Chen Baicheng despised that the most.

"Alright, and now, this brother in front of you, his name is Ye Xiaofan, my future son-in-law. From now on, he will be the second-in-command. Most of you have seen him. The reason I've called you here today is to let you recognize him and make sure you don't get it wrong."

Xiaofan, who was eating, was stunned when he heard Chen Baicheng's words. He didn't expect Chen Baicheng to suddenly give him such power. The second-in-command, right-hand man to the leader! That meant that Chen Baicheng's men would follow his commands. What an immense trust this was.

'Clatter' Xiaofan casually put down his chopsticks and quickly walked over from the dining table.

"Uncle Chen, this is not appropriate."

"Hmm? Why? Are you trying to disrespect me again? Hey, are you thinking that now you've got my daughter in the bag, I wouldn't dare do anything to you?" Chen Baicheng said unhappily.

"This isn't about Mei'Er. I... how do I say this, Uncle Chen, I have my reasons. I don't look down on everyone. In fact, I understand your goodwill, but I really can't agree." Xiaofan didn't know how to express his bitterness.

"Oh, I understand. You mean to say you're just playing with my daughter, is that it? But do you know playing like this can lead to death?"

"Uncle Chen, it's not what you think. Anyway, I don't know how long I can live. If I survive and come back later, I'll apologize to you then." With that, Xiaofan left his breakfast and quickly walked out the door.

Chen Baicheng wasn't known for having a good temper, but seeing Xiaofan's demeanor didn't make him feel dismissed. However, all the brothers knew that Ye Xiaofan was his future son-in-law. If he just let him walk away like that, where would he put his face?

"Xiaofan, where are you going? Hey..." At this moment, Chen Mei'Er, who had just woken up, was getting ready to come downstairs and happened to hear the conversation between her father and Xiaofan. As she quickly walked down the stairs, she saw Xiaofan walking out the door.

"Someone, get him for me..."

"Dad, don't..."

"What now? That guy just left like that, and you still want to protect him? Are you not satisfied unless my face is utterly gone?"

"No, Dad. It's not what you think. He's leaving for our sake." Chen Mei'Er felt intense sadness as she thought of Xiaofan's situation and his solitary struggle. Tears began to fall slowly.

"Mei'Er, don't... You've never cried for anyone in your life, and you're actually crying for this brat..."

"Dad, Xiaofan is a good person. He really is a good man. Listen to me, and you all, the over a hundred brothers present, don't blame Xiaofan for offending my dad. He truly has his reasons. Dad, did you know that Xiaofan is now being targeted by assassins? His life is at risk at any moment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Baicheng was suddenly stunned, looking at his daughter, surely not joking: "You didn't get fooled by his sweet talk, did you?"

"Dad, who am I? Who could fool me? Haven't you seen the news? Just before, in the rented apartment next to the university, some people were killed, and they had guns, and they were attacking Xiaofan. And once, just before this happened, Xiaofan was attacked a second time, which is why he told me not to come to him. I also came back to tell you that I and he have nothing to do with each other anymore. He just doesn't want to drag me down." Chen Mei'Er said, almost sobbing.

"Well, just a few assassins, surely with my men, I, Chen Baicheng, can't handle a few assassins?" Chen Baicheng said disdainfully.

"If it were just a few assassins, it would be easy to handle. But Xiaofan has provoked a huge organization. Do you remember the three mysterious people who came to see you? Xiaofan told me last night that those three are assassins from that mysterious organization, and their purpose in coming here is to kill uncooperative gang leaders. Dad, even you almost got overturned by this matter, let alone if this organization wants to deal with you; it wouldn't be difficult." Chen Mei'Er continued.

"Are they really that powerful?" Chen Baicheng said helplessly. However, things seemed to become a bit clearer. No wonder he was unwilling to meet with journalists just now and didn't want himself to mention his relationship with him to the journalists. Was it all because of this?

"Able to easily ship a large batch of goods into the Capital City, able to casually take out gang leaders, do you think they're powerful enough? This time, Xiaofan may have clashed with them again for our sake; who knows when the third wave of assassins will come."

"This kid... why didn't he say anything sooner? And you, knowing how dangerous he is, why do you keep running to him? Even last night... Ah."

"Dad, there's only one Ye Xiaofan in this world. I already fell in love. At least we once had each other, whatever makes me happy. And you guys, what's so funny? This young lady just likes him, so what?" Chen Mei'Er glared angrily at those brothers and shouted loudly.
