Seeing Old Lee's wistful expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

Obviously, the Ye family's arrogant behavior today had left a significant impression on him.

Xu Fan said with a smile, "Old Lee, don't be such a stranger. If you want to hold a grandchild, I can stand in for you."

"You little..."

Old Lee's mood improved quite a bit after being teased by Xu Fan.

After giving Feng Huang, who was standing by Xu Fan's side, a meaningful glance, he said, "Alright, it's getting late. This old man is going to rest."

"You don't need to worry about what comes next, I'll handle it."

This trouble was mostly caused by a fire in his own backyard, so he didn't want to trouble Xu Fan further. After instructing him, Old Lee, protected by his entourage, got into his car.

After watching Old Lee depart, Xu Fan took out his phone and sent a text message to Han Dongxu.

No matter how powerful the Ye family was, they were still out of their element in Shanghai. To set up such an extensive operation and acquire so much explosives without making a sound, there must have been help from someone else.

Besides the Lu family, Xu Fan couldn't think of anyone else.

If they wanted his life, fine, but they had to pay a price for it.

"Okay, let's get you home," said Xu Fan after explaining the situation to Han Dongxu.

With that, he led Feng Huang to the car.

...

The Lu Family, White Crane Villa.

It was nearly midnight.

Usually at this hour, there would only be a few lights left on in the villa, but now, the entire place was brightly lit.

Dozens of Humvees that had suddenly burst into the villa grounds were now parked directly in front of Family Head Lu Tianyou's mansion.

The guards who'd rushed over upon hearing the commotion were standing far off to the side, and didn't approach to block the way.

They didn't dare confront the man leading the way.

As more people gathered around, Han Dongxu smiled and shouted at the mansion, "Clan Leader Lu, you can't tell me you can still sleep through all this noise."

Having stood at the doorway for several minutes, despite the noisy arrival, old Lu Tianyou was still holed up inside, unwilling to come out.

This was obviously a sign of his guilt.

Running out of patience to wait any longer, Han Dongxu narrowed his eyes and shouted, "Clan Leader Lu, if you don't open the door soon, we'll have to let ourselves in."

Now that Xu Fan had commanded him to handle the matter, there was no room to consider the Lu family's feelings.

After saying this, Han Dongxu's expression turned completely stern, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to force his way in.

"What are you trying to do!"

"Is there no law left!"

Immediately, a group of Lu family guards charged to block Han Dongxu and his men.

The atmosphere became extremely tense, as if the two groups were about to come to blows in the next second.

Just then, the mansion's gate creaked open.

"What's all the noise about?"

"Clan Leader..."

As they saw Lu Tianyou, wearing his pajamas, walk out from the gate, the Lu family's people immediately backed down.

"That sly old fox..."

Han Dongxu's gaze landed on Lu Tianyou's pajamas, and he couldn't help but scoff.

He truly didn't believe that guy could sleep tonight.

"Clan Leader Lu, aren't you going to invite us in to sit and chat for a while?" Han Dongxu asked.

"It's so late. Han Dongxu, if you have something to say, can't you just say it at the door?"

Lu Tianyou was guarding the door, not planning to let Han Dongxu in at all.

He glanced over the people behind Han Dongxu and scoffed coldly, "What? Xu Fan thinks my Lu family is easy to bully, doesn't even want to let me get a good night's sleep?"

"Heh, Clan Leader Lu, my master isn't as idle as you think."

Totally ignoring Lu Tianyou's sarcasm, Han Dongxu's intuition told him that the old man guarding the door must be hiding something inside that he couldn't let him see!

"Search the place!"

With a cold look in his eyes, Han Dongxu couldn't be bothered to argue with Lu Tianyou any longer. With a wave of his hand, he prepared to lead his men inside to search!

"How audacious!"

As he watched his own men retreat under Han Dongxu's forces, Lu Tianyou, standing alone at the entrance, couldn't help but roar in anger.

"Han Dongxu, don't think that just because you have Xu Fan backing you, you can be so rampant!"

"My Lu Family's home is not somewhere you can just enter as you please!"

"If you want to come in, have Xu Fan come to me personally!"

Having led the Lu Family in Shanghai for these years, Lu Tianyou was not someone to be underestimated; the aura he exuded now deterred many people!

Even Han Dongxu was slightly taken aback.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Fan had already clarified the situation with him beforehand, he might have been truly intimidated.

Looking at Lu Tianyou's authoritative face, Han Dongxu sneered, "Clan Leader Lu, my master indeed treats me well, but rest assured, I, Han Dongxu, am not the kind of person who abuses their power to bully others."

"If there has been the slightest misunderstanding towards the Lu Family today, I, Han Dongxu, will personally visit and apologize some other day!"

"As for having my master come here personally, I'm sorry to say, you're not qualified."

"Go in!"

Without lingering on his words, Han Dongxu no longer dawdled; he immediately led a group of men and charged into the villa.

At this moment, Lu Tianyou's figure seemed incredibly frail and powerless.

Through a series of high-stakes gambles, he had made the Lu Family one of the most notable families in Shanghai.

But this time, one wrong move could completely ruin the Lu Family's future.

After Han Dongxu and his men stormed the villa, they started searching everywhere.

In a short while, they had captured a whole group of people.

Now, brought to the hall, Han Dongxu glanced over them and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"Does Clan Leader Lu usually need so many people to guard him while he sleeps?"

The upper echelons of the Lu Family were all here, almost without a single one missing, gathered in this villa.

Obviously, they had been waiting for the good news of Xu Fan's death.

The lie that Lu Tianyou had been woken up by the noise was instantly shattered.

"Han Dongxu! Trespassing on private property! Do you have no regard for the law? Release us now!"

At this moment, Lu Jun could be heard bellowing defiantly.

Following him, quite a few people started to act innocently and condemned the intrusion.

Han Dongxu, hearing this, couldn't help but find it laughable.

"If we're talking about disregarding the law, I can't compare to you all this time," he said coldly.

He then glanced at Lu Tianyou more seriously.

"What now, Clan Leader Lu, should I call the police for you?"

"..."

Lu Tianyou hung his head low, unable to utter a word.

Having waited all night without any news, it was clear that Xie Tianlong had failed...

Although he had been extremely cautious, trying to leave no evidence behind.

But if Xu Fan really investigated, it would eventually lead back to his family.

After all, that much explosive...

This gamble had been lost, the kind that couldn't be overturned.

Lu Tianyou looked at Han Dongxu in despair.
