"This..."

Anyone who could attend this party tonight was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing the two groups about to clash, the journalists present began to feel overwhelmed.

If they had known, they wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

Exchanging awkward glances, the journalists quickly turned their gaze to the boy pushed into the spotlight.

When they saw Xu Fan's expression, they were all shocked.

The boy was being humiliated, yet showed no anger at all, remaining calm as if he didn't care in the slightest.

...

"Oh, isn't this interesting."

Unexpectedly, even at this point, someone was still siding with Xu Fan. The man glanced at Old Li and Qin Mengyue, his eyes narrowing with a cold sneer.

"Old Li, there's a saying that the wise man submits to circumstances. At your age, don't you understand this yet?"

If it wasn't for the fact that the Li Family's influence in Shanghai was too great, his godfather would have acted against him long ago!

Ye Xuanhao looked coldly at Old Li and Qin Mengyue, then snorted, "Loyalty is good, but you need to have the capital for it."

"Tonight, I, Ye Xuanhao, am here to deal with Xu Fan. You two best mind your own business!"

"You!"

Ye Xuanhao's aggressive demeanor caused Old Li's blood to boil. In his rage, he almost rushed forward to slap him.

"Old Li, at your age, there's no need to lower yourself to his level."

At this moment, Xu Fan reached out and held Old Li back.

"Ye Xuanhao..."

With the surname Ye, Xu Fan instantly thought of Ye Chongshan.

In this hall, almost everyone seemed to take their cues from him. Given the surname, Xu Fan guessed that he must be from the Ye Family.

"Old Li, who is this guy?"

Still not entirely sure of his specific identity within the Ye Family, Xu Fan curiously looked over at Old Li.

Suppressing his anger, Old Li glared fiercely at Ye Xuanhao and said, "This kid is the godson Ye Chongshan recently adopted."

Ye Xuanhao was already a member of the Ye Family, but his status had never been this high before.

It was only because Ye Chongshan saw potential in him and took him in as a godson that he had a chance to rise.

In recent days, most of the actions in Shanghai were led by him, charging at the forefront.

"A godson, huh? What a coincidence."

After hearing Old Li's explanation, Xu Fan squinted his eyes and smiled.

The heavens certainly have their own plans.

It seemed like fate intended for Xu Fan to wipe out the entire Ye family...

"Ye Xuanhao, you have me to thank for getting to be a godson."

"You calling me godfather wouldn't be too far-fetched. Acting so defiantly upon meeting me, don't you think you're being a bit ungrateful?"

"After all, Father's Day just passed."

If Xu Fan hadn't eliminated the three sons of Ye Chongshan, Ye Xuanhao wouldn't have had this opportunity to rise up.

What Xu Fan said was crude but true.

"Heh, Xu Fan, do you think you're qualified to be my godfather?"

Recognizing the mockery in Xu Fan's words, Ye Xuanhao gritted his teeth and glared at him.

Indeed, without this man, he wouldn't have his current status.

But for a drowning dog, where did he get the nerve to talk to him like this?

"Turn off all the cameras. I don't want what happens next to be known by anyone!"

Perhaps Xu Fan needed a little lesson in humility, thought Ye Xuanhao, turning his cold gaze to the journalists and giving orders.

Seeing his murderous look, the journalists shivered instinctively.

They weren't naive enough to think about secretly recording and leaking this to make money.

Given Ye Xuanhao's rising power in Shanghai, opposing him was basically courting death!

Immediately, they chose self-preservation, turning off their cameras and even prudently shutting off their phones.

Not only did the journalists comply, but even those watching the commotion quickly turned off their phones.

"What do you intend to do!"

It was clear that Ye Xuanhao intended to seal off information and what he planned to do was self-evident. Qin Mengyue stepped forward and demanded.

Was he really going to commit murder here?

"Don't forget who I am!"

"Oh, little police flower, you're quite confident, aren't you?"

Seeing the audacious woman step forward, Ye Xuanhao laughed.

She probably didn't even know who she was dealing with.

"Don't think that just because you've achieved a bit, you're something special. If I, Ye Xuanhao, want you out of the police force, I have plenty of ways to do it."

"You!"

At this point, Ye Xuanhao might as well have the words "lawless" etched on his face. Qin Mengyue regretted her decision.

If only she had brought her weapon today!

She would have slain this scumbag on the spot!

"Hmph, don't worry, I'll play with you later. For now, stay put."

After giving Qin Mengyue an icy glare, Ye Xuanhao turned his attention back to Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, since you're here tonight, don't think you'll get to leave."

With those words, some thugs behind Ye Xuanhao stepped forward, readying themselves.

Clearly, they intended to attack Xu Fan in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Old Li became anxious and stomped his foot.

He quickly looked at his people, signaling them to get help and ensure Xu Fan could leave safely.

If not, once Situ Jing arrived, Xu Fan would be finished.

"I can see why Ye Chongshan took you as a godson; you're just as reckless."

While Old Li was contemplating how to convey to Xu Fan to run, Xu Fan stepped forward.

"Xu Fan! You!"

Seeing this, Old Li anxiously stomped his foot! How could he be so impulsive? What was the point of confronting this guy?

If he provoked him, what would happen when Ye Chongshan and Situ Jing sought revenge?

Had he not thought this through at all?

Xu Fan really hadn't considered Old Li's concerns.

Earlier, he did worry that with so many media present, taking action could have undesirable repercussions.

But Ye Xuanhao had taken care of that perfectly by having everyone turn off the recording devices.

The reason Xu Fan hadn't acted immediately, letting Old Li and Qin Mengyue hold them off, was also calculated.

Xu Fan wanted to see the attitudes of familiar faces around him in this seemingly dire situation.

The observation had yielded results.

Now, heading straight towards Ye Xuanhao, the thugs around him stepped up with murderous intent.

They were indeed skilled, but still some distance from him.

With a casual glance, Xu Fan extended his divine sense and uttered two words.

"Kneel down!"
