The issue with Igarashi being resolved so effortlessly was beyond Xu Fan's expectations.

Keeping it under wraps made him feel like he owed something to old man Guan, so Xu Fan didn't really want the Ten-Handed Sword.

But under old man Guan's insistence, Xu Fan eventually took the Ten-Handed Sword from the military district.

The Yanluo Sword is already perfectly suited for him, and Xu Fan plans to give the Ten-Handed Sword to Gongsun Qin when he goes to Shanghai.

Leaving the military district, Xu Fan headed straight to the Xia Group.

During this time, he has been in Dongying and had no time to care for her and Xiao Die, and doesn't know if the Huang Family has pressured them.

Soon, Xu Fan arrived at the Xia Group, greeted the receptionist, and headed directly to Xia Yanyu's office.

Knock knock knock.

After knocking on the door and hearing Xia Yanyu's familiar voice from inside, Xu Fan walked right in.

"Xu Fan?"

He didn't notify Xia Yanyu of his return, so her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing him enter.

"What? Missed me?"

She gazed at Xu Fan, her eyes turning red, and seeing this made Xu Fan feel a bit sorrowful.

Walking over, he hugged her tightly.

Feeling her trembling body, Xu Fan understood the immense pressure she endured during his absence.

"What happened? What has been going on?"

After a moment of affection, Xu Fan hugged her while sitting her on his lap and asked.

He guessed that despite old man Guan's help in suppressing the Huang Family's pressure, Xia Yanyu still encountered a lot of trouble.

"It's nothing... It's fine, now that you're back."

Just as Xu Fan had suspected, Xia Yanyu did indeed endure great pressure during this time.

Although Xia Yanyu is now the spokesperson of the Xia Family, she doesn't represent the entire family in the face of interests.

True, with old man Guan's mediation, the Huang Family did not immediately make a move.

But the Huang Family is a hidden world giant, and even if they haven't acted, their looming presence is enough to terrify many.

During this time, the Huang Family's threatening stance has scared many Xia Family members.

Everyone is pushing her to marry Xia Xiaodie into the Huang Family for safety.

Regarding Xu Fan, they demanded cooperation with the Huang Family to get rid of him as a show of loyalty.

From mere suggestions to outright power plays, it has evolved significantly.

Disaster looms, and the internal chaos began even before the enemy arrived; contemplating the Xia Family's current state felt deeply ironic to Xia Yanyu.

They launched their own family members for the sake of peace.

But none of it matters; Xu Fan is back!

Xu Fan is back, and Xia Yanyu is filled with confidence, believing that with him, everything will get better!

"Is there some problem with your family?"

"Hmm?"

Fire in her own backyard; Xia Yanyu did not intend for Xu Fan to clean up her mess, but without saying a word, he guessed it.

She looked at Xu Fan in surprise, puzzled at how he deduced it.

"How do you know?"

Dazed, she asked Xu Fan.

"Silly, who do you think your man is? How could I not figure this out?"

Xu Fan pinched Xia Yanyu's cheek as he spoke.

The only issue plaguing Xia Yanyu, aside from the Xiaodie matter, would naturally involve the Xia Family itself.

With the Huang Family laying in wait, it would be strange if the troublemakers didn't stir things up.

Xu Fan even suspects that someone within the Xia Family may have already sided with the Huang Family.

To some, family ties can be ignored when facing interests.

If they continue causing trouble, the issue will grow, even potentially endangering Xia Yanyu's life.

This is something Xu Fan absolutely cannot tolerate.

This issue must be resolved quickly.

After some contemplation, Xu Fan took out his phone and contacted Aunt Lan.

After explaining what needed to be done, Xu Fan said to Xia Yanyu, "You should now convene a board meeting. In half an hour, get all the influential Xia Family members here."

"This..."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's directive, Xia Yanyu frowned slightly.

Xu Fan intends to confront those causing trouble...

"Xu Fan, isn't this a bit too harsh?"

These troublemakers have pinned all the blame on Xu Fan; once they arrive, they might verbally attack him.

Even though Xu Fan has close relations with her and Xiaodie, ultimately he isn't a Xia Family member.

She's worried that instead of resolving the issue, Xu Fan might exacerbate it.

"What? Doubting my abilities?"

Seeing Xia Yanyu's worried expression, Xu Fan teased.

Of course, he was joking, and as Xia Yanyu was about to explain, Xu Fan interrupted her, smiling, "Remember, I'm your man. If I don't help you in times of trouble and hide behind you instead, I am not worthy of being called a man. Understood?"

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Thinking it over, Xu Fan's reasoning made sense.

Eventually, she'll face these people; the sooner the problem is resolved, the better.

Today might be a good day for it.

Xia Yanyu nodded, picked up the phone from her desk, and instructed her secretary outside.

"I want all the directors in the conference room after half an hour."

Expressing her intent clearly, Xia Yanyu hung up the phone.

"Phew..."

Fully aware of the impending battle; Xia Yanyu took a deep breath, easing her tension before saying, "Xu Fan, let's go to the conference room and wait for them."

"Pfft."

Seeing Xia Yanyu so tense, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

He reached out and pulled her onto his lap.

"Remember, you are the biggest authority in the Xia Family."

"So it's them waiting for you, not you waiting for them, got it?"

With Xu Fan's reminder, Xia Yanyu realized in her panic she had lost the demeanor of a leader.

If not reminded, she might have succumbed to those old foxes.

"What should we do now then?"
