Soon, Han Dongxu left Yunsheng Villa.

During the recent conversation with Han Dongxu, Xu Fan hadn't hidden anything from Silver Fox. Now that Han Dongxu had left, Silver Fox took a deep breath and walked over to Xu Fan.

"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you tonight!"

The death of Ye Cheng was inseparably linked to himself, and seeing Xu Fan as family, Silver Fox planned to share the responsibility.

"You?"

Seeing Silver Fox's serious expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Are you planning to play the mummy over there?"

The wounds Silver Fox had sustained from fighting two living corpses the other day hadn't healed yet. If he went now to put it bluntly, it would be great if he didn't make things worse.

"Just stay put and heal. As for your sister, she can come with me and mooch a meal."

Xu Fan was saying this to Silver Fox now.

The injuries on Silver Fox's body had always been known to Feng Huang. Compelled by Feng Huang's intimidation, this guy had confessed everything...

The reason he now wanted Feng Huang to go with him was not because he expected much help from her.

One reason was the need for a female companion, and the other was to take the opportunity to foster some affection.

One couldn't let Silver Fox keep calling him "brother-in-law" for nothing, right?

Having sent Silver Fox off, Xu Fan called over Green Rakshasa.

Having soaked in medicinal baths these past few days and relying on the living corpses' healing capabilities, his body was now completely intact.

Xu had outfitted him in a suit and a pair of sunglasses, which covered his lifeless eyes. From the outside, he looked no different from a bodyguard.

Although he hadn't been implanted with the Blood Calling Gu yet, his own cultivation level wasn't low.

Bringing him along tonight to the Lu Family's gathering, if they encountered any trouble, it would save Xu Fan the trouble of intervening personally.

Having taken Green Rakshasa along, Xu Fan drove straight to Feng Huang's place.

By the time he reached Feng Huang's residence, it was already dark.

"Hey, Oppa, did I hear you're taking me out to mooch a meal?"

As soon as Xu Fan parked and called, he could hear Feng Huang's teasing.

Clearly, Silver Fox had informed her of the situation before Xu Fan arrived.

"That's right, I'm taking you out for a big feast tonight."

With that, Xu Fan saved himself from having to explain all over again, hung up the phone, and a short while later, Feng Huang came down.

"Oppa, if you keep letting my brother call you 'brother-in-law,' it could lead to trouble."

As she got into the car, Feng Huang couldn't help but complain.

She didn't know what magic potion Xu Fan had fed him that had him calling one 'brother-in-law' after another; it was so embarrassing for her.

As far as she was concerned, she and Xu Fan were strictly platonic.

"I never forced him. I guess, maybe, my outstanding qualities have won his recognition."

Lately, Silver Fox was finding it easier and easier to call him "brother-in-law." Especially after hearing that Xu Fan would introduce him to a master, it was truly beyond stopping.

"All right, it's time to go."

After exchanging a few words with Feng Huang in the car, Xu Fan drove to Baihe Mountain Villa.

Tonight, the Lu Family had set up a banquet there, and Xu Fan estimated that, nine times out of ten, it would be a Hongmen Banquet awaiting him.

Guided by the villa's servants, Xu Fan soon reached the villa's restaurant.

"Oppa, is this the big feast you mentioned?"

Following the servants into the restaurant's private room, one could see that aside from Lu Jun, several other people were seated at the round table.

At the main seat sat an old man, around sixty or so.

Although his hair was white, he didn't look old at all and had a certain youthful vibrancy.

The people around the table were subtly centered around him, clearly, he was the Clan Leader currently in control of the Lu Family's power, Lu Tianyou.

"Xu Fan, my young friend, I've finally been waiting for you to come," said Lu Tianyou with a slight nod as Xu Fan entered the private room, considering it a form of greeting.

As for standing up to welcome him, there wasn't the slightest intention.

"You are too polite, Clan Leader Lu," Xu Fan responded.

His gaze swept over the five or six people sitting at the round table, Xu Fan smiled, and then, arm in arm with Feng Huang, sat down opposite their group.

As for the Green Rakshasa, she stood behind him resolutely.

The atmosphere had already become somewhat tense as soon as they entered the private room.

All present were high-ranking officials of the Lu Family, and their icy eyes fell on Xu Fan. Had the Family Head not been present, they might have already started pounding the table and calling him out.

After all, the Lu Family was based in Shanghai, and with the incident in Shanghai involving Ye Cheng, the Ye Family from Hong Kong Island would look to the Lu Family first.

Through decades of trials and tribulations, Lu Tianyou exuded calmness.

Once Xu Fan sat down, Lu Tianyou picked up a freshly brewed cup of Longjing tea from after the rain, skimmed the froth, and delicately took a sip.

"As you get older, your eyes and ears don't work as well."

"I've heard, young Mr. Xu Fan, that you have been making waves here in Shanghai of late. That must be correct, right?"

"..."

Was his grandfather going to chat with this guy for half an hour first?

At the round table, someone couldn't sit still.

"Clan Leader, you..."

Knowing that the Ye Family had entrusted this matter entirely to the Lu Family, if they did not find Ye Cheng, the whole Lu Family would suffer the consequences!

"Since this guy is already here, why waste words with him!"

Immediately, the room erupted into chaos, and Lu Tianyou hurriedly put down his tea cup, casting his gaze towards his descendants.

"Are you the Clan Leader, or am I the Clan Leader?"

"..."

With a calm and composed statement, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Xu Fan, looking at the formidable old man, couldn't help but slightly curl his lips upwards.

"Clan Leader Lu, this doesn't look like you've invited me here just for a meal," Xu Fan noted.

"Heh, young people, always so impatient," Lu Tianyou explained with a laugh.

His descendants were indeed too impatient.

How could they make a decision before clarifying the situation?

Who knew if Xu Fan had arranged reinforcements for today?

"Since the guest has already arrived, let's have the dishes served quickly."

As the servants began serving the dishes, Lu Tianyou engaged in casual conversation with Xu Fan intermittently.

He contemplated using this time to let the servants check how many people Xu Fan had brought with him to White Crane Villa today.

Smack!

Before Lu Tianyou could confirm the news, suddenly, Lu Jun slammed his palm on the round table!

He had long harbored resentment towards Xu Fan!

This time, with Ye Cheng's disappearance, the grudge grew even deeper!

His likely succession as the Clan Leader of the Lu Family was inseparable from his friendship with Ye Cheng.

Now, with Ye Cheng's whereabouts unknown, if he lost Ye Cheng's support, his future position in the Lu Family could plummet drastically!

"Xu, speak up! Where have you hidden Young Master Ye?"

Today, even if it meant killing Xu, they had to find Young Master Ye!
