"I..."

The sudden arrival of the army had already stunned everyone, leaving only Xu Fan's questioning voice in the club.

The middle-aged man's face turned pig liver-colored.

He felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping through his heart!

Damn it, what was his one word worth now!

These guys now obey Xu Fan, even if he reveals his own identity, it might not work...

One must know, with Xu Fan's influence over them, even if he continues to act arrogant, he might end up being dragged in by these fellows...

Although they can't exactly block him, such stories circulating wouldn't be flattering...

"Sorry, Young Master Cheng..."

With a sympathetic glance at Cheng Baiye, the middle-aged man quickly distanced himself.

Given the current situation, he shouldn't pretend to be strong but instead safeguard his interests.

"Sir! You! You promised me!"

This last straw abandoned him, and Cheng Baiye almost cried in desperation!

He had dreamt of a carefree life, but now he was facing prison—how could he accept it?

Like a drowning person, Cheng Baiye looked around desperately.

With the tree fallen, the monkeys scattered; who would stand up for him now?

Besides, standing up wouldn't help, would it?

In a moment, a group of people retreated, avoiding him like a contagious disease.

"Are you people still human? Don't forget how I helped you rise back then!"

Betrayed by everyone, Cheng Baiye felt utterly disheartened!

These fellows treated him like this; did it sit well with their conscience?

"Cheng Baiye."

Xu Fan called out to Cheng Baiye.

Gritting his teeth, Cheng Baiye looked at Xu Fan, eyes full of murderous intent!

The icy gaze amused Xu Fan somewhat.

Clearly, Cheng Baiye blamed his current predicament entirely on him.

Not that it couldn't be blamed on him, but considering Cheng Baiye's appalling crimes, wouldn't he meet his end with or without Xu Fan?

"Enough, don't beg anymore. Even if the Emperor himself comes, you won't escape today."

When the middle-aged man made his statement, Xu Fan had already planned for this outcome.

If that guy truly had connections to cancel Cheng Baiye's crimes, Xu Fan would handle it personally, ending this beast!

"Take everyone away!"

Now with Zhang Shicun treating him as the commander for the arrests, Xu Fan didn't bother to refuse and simply gave the order!

Immediately, the police sprang into action!

Rushing out in a swarm, they began detaining people!

"Don't! Don't arrest me, I'm innocent! I have nothing to do with Cheng Baiye!"

"Comrades, I report! I report Cheng Baiye's crimes! Please… please let me go!"

As people are indiscriminately detained, the pleas for mercy echoed through the air.

Everyone tossed the blame onto Cheng Baiye, which amused Xu Fan.

Cheng Baiye had dominated Diannan for years; now he faced betrayal from all, an ironic downfall.

"And that guy, don't let him slip away!"

His gaze swept aside, catching the middle-aged man trying to escape, Xu Fan shouted unceremoniously.

The shout almost made the middle-aged man curse aloud!

This bastard, did he want to die!

As Xu Fan shouted, several officers rushed to the middle-aged man's side.

He could still escape if he wanted, but the consequences would be difficult to handle.

Handcuffed by the officers now, the middle-aged man glowered at Xu Fan!

"Xu, what right do you have to arrest me!"

He had just arrived and had nothing to do with Cheng Baiye's crimes.

Xu Fan was clearly targeting him!

"Uh, why am I arresting you?"

Xu Fan picked his nose, glancing at him indifferently.

"Let's just say, for suspicion of soliciting prostitution."

Without a care, Xu Fan casually gave a reason.

"Xu, you wait and see!"

"I'll make sure you regret this for life!"

Being taken by the police for no reason, the middle-aged man was furious!

If he weren't concerned about causing bigger trouble, he'd break the cuffs here and fight Xu Fan!

Glaring at Xu Fan with gritted teeth, he followed the officers escorting him out of the club.

"Idiot..."

Watching the figure leave, Xu Fan rolled his eyes and muttered.

He knew the man likely had powerful connections, and would probably be released soon.

But having caught the chance, Xu Fan wanted to irritate him regardless.

With police and military engaged, soon everyone in the club would be taken, prompting Xu Fan to approach Zhang Shicun.

"Alright, the rest is up to you."

With the evidence collected, bringing down the Cheng Family wouldn't be hard.

Saying this, Xu Fan prepared to leave with Feng Huang.

"Yes, Brother Xu Fan, thank you this time..."

Despite his fiancé's accident, with Xu Fan's help, the matter was resolved thoroughly; Zhang Shicun gratefully looked at Xu Fan.

"Alright, quit thanking me. If you really want to thank me, just give me Cheng Baiye's jade mines."

Seeing Zhang Shicun's gratitude, Xu Fan unabashedly joked.

"Brother, don't worry about that. Even if you haven't mentioned it, it's already arranged above."

"Soon, without further trouble, Cheng Baiye's jade mines will automatically be in your name."

Earlier at the military zone, Zhang Shicun had inquired about Feng Huang's profession.

Knowing her close relationship with Xu Fan, giving Cheng Baiye's jade mines to Feng Huang served as a reward to Xu Fan.

Before coming, Zhang had raised this issue with higher-ups, who agreed without objection.

Informing Xu Fan now simply conveyed the decision from above.

"Quite the unexpected reward..."

Upon hearing Zhang's explanation, Xu Fan chuckled.

With Cheng Baiye down, he thought it would take efforts with Feng Huang to secure those mines.

Who knew, a word from the top resolved it instantly.

"Alright, then I humbly accept."

Receiving such a windfall, Xu Fan didn't hesitate, accepting it with a smile.
