In the car leaving Hou Men, Ye Fan hugged Tang Ruoxue and closed his eyes to rest.
After a whole night of tossing, he was already exhausted, and he kept holding on just to see the truth come to light.
Now that the dust has settled, his spirit has relaxed and his whole body has become tired.
"Wouldn't it be good if we just leave like this?"
Tang Ruoxue, who was leaning in his arms, looked up at Mark and said, "After all, the Qin Jiutian case has not yet been concluded."
"The real culprits have been revealed, and the evidence matches up. There is no question about our innocence."
Ye Fan smiled softly: "It doesn't matter whether we leave or not. Besides, I injured Qin Muyue and his gang. If I don't run away, they will beat me up."
Although the dozen or so shots would not kill the young man with the earring, they would probably not be able to stand up and walk freely for two to three months.
Tang Ruoxue said softly: "Tang Fei is also my bodyguard after all. I just resigned from the head of the Thirteen Branches. I'm afraid it's not enough to explain."
"Don't think too much. If anything happens, I'll take care of it for you."
Ye Fan lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the woman's green hair, and comforted Tang Ruoxue with a soft voice:
"Besides, haven't you seen by now that the real murderer and Tang Hailong are not important at all."
"You, Mr. Tang, who misemployed people, can't stand the eyes of the Nine Families, and they have no interest in punishing you now."
"They only have 16 departments within the territory in their eyes now."
"In other words, this incident is directed at the Sixteenth Department."
His eyes were slightly condensed, and he had already seen that this conflict would hit Ye Tang hard. Zheng Qiankun and the others were like evil wolves, and they would tear apart a piece of Ye Tang's flesh no matter what.
Tang Ruoxue nodded lightly at first, and then asked curiously: "You proposed that Old Dong Wang ascend to the throne, do you think the nine people will listen to you?"
"I'm just a little doctor, at most a little doctor wearing the title of national treasure. How can I possibly get the Nine People to listen to me?"
Ye Fan is very self-aware: "I can only give you a suggestion, and the final decision is theirs."
"But there shouldn't be any problem with Uncle Dong taking over. He is indeed the most suitable candidate."
He thought of Ye Zhendong grabbing medicine from Jin Zhilin's medicine cabinet, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "The Nine People will definitely choose him."
Tang Ruoxue's pretty face was pressed against Mark's chest: "Why?"
"As for the three cornerstones, Uncle Dong is from Yetang and has made countless contributions to Yetang. The title of King of the East is earned by killing enemies."
"If he ascends to power, it means that Ye Tang people will still be in control of the Sixteenth Department."
Ye Fan saw clearly: "This means that the Sixteenth Department will not shake the frame of Ye Tang due to sudden changes, and the entire Ye Tang's emotions will not have too many waves."
"After all, Uncle Dong, who has deep qualifications, is also a member of Ye Tang. He will not let Ye Tang feel that the Sixteenth Department has been taken away by outsiders."
If it were controlled by people from the Five Families or even the Trumen or Hengdian, Ye Tang would feel like someone had cut off one of his hands.
"For the five major families, although Uncle Dong was also born in Yetang, he had been abandoned for twenty years and had to endure the tragic situation of people walking away from tea."
"An old King of the East who once had great military exploits was left out for twenty years and had his hard-earned country taken away from him. He must have resentment towards Ye Tang in his heart."
"This means that Uncle Dong now has a mentality of resisting Ye Tang."
"And all the five major families know that the old lady of the Ye family and Uncle Dong can't stand each other, so they understand that Uncle Dong will not wear the same pants as the Ye family without any bottom line."
"Zhu Jing'er also told me this morning that in order to protect Jin Zhilin last night, Ye Zhendong broke off a finger of Wei Hongchao's hands and Li Laogui, as well as dozens of injured people."
"This clearly proves that Uncle Dong doesn't have much affection for the Ye family, and it also proves that Ye Zhendong will not favor Ye Tang."
"So with Ye Zhendong in charge of the sixteen departments within the territory, the five people don't need to worry about Ye Zhendong being infiltrated, and they will be happy that 'making leaves from leaves' saves a lot of effort."
"Besides, now that the three cornerstones and the five major families are in such a stalemate, who can they find to break the deadlock if they don't choose Ye Zhendong?"
Ye Fan gently rubbed the woman's hair: "I believe they will choose Uncle Dong, but I don't know if Uncle Dong is interested in making a comeback..."
"Your analysis makes sense."
Tang Ruoxue chuckled, then looked forward: "Where are we going now?"
"Go to my Feilong Villa."
Ye Fan smiled: "Stay here for a few days and let you relax."
Tang Ruoxue hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in response: "Okay."
"You made a very wise choice today by resigning as the head of the Thirteen Branches and leaving the Tang Clan vortex."
Ye Fan looked down at the woman and smiled: "It's just that you're not afraid that your uncle will see that you are no longer making money and wipe out your family without leaving a trace?"
He hasn't met Tang Pingfan yet, but from the series of operations of Tang Sect, he can still feel the other party's energy.
"I'm too tired, I don't want to go that far."
Tang Ruoxue muttered: "Besides, didn't you say that you would hold up the sky if it fell, so you have to protect my father, my sister, my sister, and me..."
Ye Fan smiled and touched the woman's face: "Okay."
11:30 noon, Longdu, Jinzhilin.
After the flash of swords and swords last night, Jin Zhilin tidied up and restored the business to its original state, and then opened the business on time as usual.
If there weren't a few blood stains left on the ground, it wouldn't make people think that there had been a fight here.
Compared to Sun Bufan and Hua Yanyu who were worried about Ye Fan, Ye Zhendong was as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care about Ye Fan's life or death at all.
During meal time, Ye Zhendong asked everyone to go to the backyard to eat, while he stayed in the lobby to look at the shop.
He was sitting on a stool holding a large bowl of rice and eating it.
When his phone buzzed and vibrated, he was picking up a piece of braised pork, opened his mouth and bit into it, his mouth was full of oil, and he was indescribably satisfied.
Then, Ye Zhendong took out his Bluetooth headset and put it to his ear.
Soon, Hua Qingfeng's hearty voice came over:
"Old Ye, there is news from Hou Men that you have reached the consensus of the nine people and will take charge of the 16th branch of Yetang."
He added: "I want to say congratulations to you in advance."
Ye Zhendong's face showed no emotion at all. He picked up another fried egg and bit into it:
"Isn't this expected?"
Ye Zhendong said calmly: "There is nothing to congratulate."
Hua Qingfeng burst out laughing again: "It was indeed expected, but it happened faster than we expected. Ye Fan was a big help this time."
Hearing Ye Fan, Ye Zhendong looked softer: "Is Ye Fan okay?"
"It's okay, he's fine."
Hua Qingfeng said softly: "Although it has not become a great thing, it is indeed a good piece of jade."
"There are obviously many ways to protect him, but you let him get away with this."
Ye Zhendong's tone was a little more dissatisfied: "Do you know how dangerous last night was? I heard that guns were fired at the scene."
"What if he is betrayed by Hou Men, how will you and I explain to my wife in the future?"
He knew that Hou Men was as deep as the sea.
Hua Qingfeng said calmly: "I know, but if it happens again, I still think he deserves this life."
"Why?"
"Because I want him to be full of anger towards the Ye family!"
