"What? Planning to acknowledge another godfather?"

Xu Fan looked at Ye Xuanhao at this time and couldn't help teasing.

"Would...would it work?"

This question made Ye Xuanhao look over with anticipation.

Seeing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh. This guy seemed to be used to being a son, huh?

"Haha, sorry, but I don't want a dog son like you."

With one sentence, Xu Fan directly sentenced Ye Xuanhao to death. The sudden rise and fall made Ye Xuanhao sit on the ground.

Self-inflicted, no pity. Tonight, it's over for him.

"Old Li, this guy, would you help me handle him? There should be no problem, right?"

Coming here tonight was mainly to accompany Qin Mengyue to the party. He hadn't expected to deal with the trouble from the Ye Family.

Xu Fan smiled and looked over at Old Li.

Thinking, let him help take care of it.

"You brat..."

Seeing Xu Fan's confident look, Old Li couldn't help but laugh and curse.

Everyone knew this guy would solve the problem while everyone else was still unaware, so there was no need to worry about it.

Offending Xu Fan, these self-destructive idiots of the Ye Family were done for. As for those wealthy families who were just with Ye Xuanhao, they probably wouldn't fare too well either.

Old Li glanced at his juniors and said, "Mr. Ye is tired. Please take him downstairs to rest first."

"Understood."

Li Family people nodded, realizing Old Li's intentions, and dragged Ye Xuanhao out of the reception room.

"Everyone, no need to just stand. Please sit down."

At this point, only the wealthy families of Shanghai remained. Seeing their pale faces, Xu Fan waved and instructed.

After experiencing that scene, not to mention how Xu Fan asked them to sit, they'd obediently offer their knees even if he asked them to kneel.

"Eh...eh, sit, everyone please sit..."

One by one, under Xu Fan's instructions, they sat down.

"You all gathered earlier, wanting to see me make a fool of myself. I'm really sorry to disappoint you, missing out on a show."

Xu Fan always had a great memory. As he spoke, his gaze drifted to those who had mockingly watched him earlier.

Not a single person dared to meet Xu Fan's gaze directly.

Thinking of their previous actions, one by one, they timidly looked aside.

The more awkward it could get, the more awkward it was.

"But earlier, I put on a good show for you all, so hopefully, none of you would hold it against me?"

Ye Xuanhao's outcome surely counted as a show. Everyone, thinking back, was filled with fear.

"Hey, Xu Fan, you're too kind."

"We...we wouldn't dare blame you."

All of them chimed in, eager to flatter Xu Fan with smiles.

"Tsk tsk, seeing how happily you all are laughing, you must know what I'll be doing next?"

The saying goes "don't hit a smiling face," but it seemed not to apply to Xu Fan. Hearing his words, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

No one could possibly know what Xu Fan planned to do.

They discussed in low voices, guessing among themselves.

Feeling guilty, the more they pondered, the more their faces grew grim.

Xu Fan lightly tapped the chair, looking at these people without saying a word.

Letting fear grow in their hearts, only when they nearly broke down, did he lazily stretch.

"I didn't really want to deal with this, but since we ran into each other tonight, let's chat a bit."

After dealing with Ye Chongshan and Situ Jing, Xu Fan handed everything over to the Qing Gang.

Today's coincidence was indeed unique.

Looking at them, Xu Fan spoke, "I'm an easy-going person, but if someone messes with me, I won't be happy."

"An old saying goes, 'Repay revenge with revenge, and grudges with grudges.' I think it makes perfect sense."

"A while ago, many of you bore grudges with my people, didn't you?"

With a few casual words, the room's temperature dropped below freezing. Looking at Xu Fan, everyone began to tremble.

Indeed, many had done exactly what Xu Fan described.

During Xu Fan's downfall, they aggressively encroached on his businesses.

All they felt back then was joy from the gain, with no sense of worry at all.

After all, Xu Fan was already being targeted, surviving itself was a question, why would they consider their actions?

Now, their sudden return to power left everyone completely unprepared.

Repay revenge with revenge, and grudges with grudges. If Xu Fan followed through, they feared they'd end up like Ye Xuanhao...

"Uh...um, Mr. Xu, regarding your businesses, I...I was just managing them for you temporarily. Rest assured, I've made a good profit."

"Now that you're free, I'll transfer everything back to you soon, and I'll even give you a big gift!"

"If it weren't for your generosity, giving me the chance to manage your businesses, I wouldn't have learned so much."

Everyone who got this far was adept at adapting. As they thought of how to make amends, someone quickly offered the perfect response.

Hearing this ideal answer, everyone looked at that person.

This guy was a genius.

Returning everything with interest and still thick-skinned enough to thank Xu Fan, no one could touch him anymore.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

The strategy of sacrificing to save the general was immediately recognized, and everyone quickly followed suit.

"Exactly! Those people were just spouting nonsense!"

"Brother Xu, I'm a person of loyalty. I never meant to take your things, just managing them for you."

"To prove my innocence, I'll transfer the company to you tomorrow! You must accept it!"

"Right! If you don't accept, you're not giving us face!"

"..."

Exaggerating more and more, Xu Fan almost died from laughter.

It was fortunate these people had such thick skins; otherwise, they wouldn't dare say such words.

"Alright, it seems I misunderstood you all."

No hotheaded fools among them, Xu Fan originally thought some means would be needed to make them compliant. But everyone had already given in, far beyond his expectations.

With Ye Xuanhao's fate as a warning, these people wouldn't dare make empty promises.

Xu Fan accepted their goodwill with a smile, stood up, and looked at the bewildered reporters nearby...
