Huo Ziyan personally drove Ye Fan down the mountain.
Comfortable music played in the car, which relaxed people's mood a lot, but Ye Fan was staring ahead in deep thought.
Huo Shangyin's last words still had a great impact on him.
It is easy to get involved in the fight between the Ye family and Ye Tang when he returns to Baocheng. If Ye Fan is determined to become the young master of Ye Tang, a lot of the blood of the Ye family will be stained on his hands.
After Ye Jinfeng and Dong Qianli rescued him, Ye Fan refused to participate in Ye Tang's affairs, and even stayed away from Ye Forbidden City.
In his heart, Ye Fan didn't want any more of Ye Tang's children to die in the internal strife.
As for Longdu, the depth of the water is even more terrifying. If Ye Fan goes back to Longdu, he will be plotted by the five families if he is not careful.
No, it should be 100% that the five families will use him to dismantle Ye Tang.
For the five families, if Ye Tang becomes a public servant and is completely separated from the Ye family, the five families will not be able to tolerate it.
They will use any means to deal with Ye Tang.
Therefore, it is the best choice for Ye Fan to stay in Hong Kong City.
In addition to the fact that the port city is a land of freedom, the major forces at home and abroad are bound by international treaties, and their infiltration efforts are not that long or that deep.
If you stay in the port city, not only will the pressure be much less than in Baocheng and Longdu, but you will also be able to glimpse the collision of various civilizations, and your life will be absolutely wonderful.
Ye Fan was somewhat tempted, and thinking about Jin Zhilin in the Hong Kong City was also a good choice.
"Ye Fan, my dad was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Seeing Ye Fan in a daze, Huo Ziyan explained softly while turning the steering wheel.
"Ah, just kidding——"
Ye Fan came back to his senses: "What's the joke?"
Huo Ziyan blushed: "Just those few words after him...don't take it seriously and don't feel any pressure."
"We are business partners, good friends, and confidants."
Her voice weakened: "But that's all."
"Oh, you mean he wants me to marry you..."
Ye Fan spoke subconsciously, and then stopped talking:
"No, I didn't think about that. I just thought about opening a Jin Zhilin restaurant in Hong Kong City after the crisis."
Although he admired Huo Ziyan very much, he had no love between men and women, so he didn't take Huo Shangying's words seriously.
"Just don't think about it. I'm worried that it will embarrass you and affect our relationship."
Huo Ziyan smiled beautifully, but there was a hint of loneliness deep in her eyes.
She really has no place in Ye Fan's heart.
Then, she changed the subject: "It's a piece of cake for you to open a business in Jinzhilin. There are thousands of shops in the Huo family. You can choose which one you want."
"Or if you like a piece of land, I'll buy it and build a medical center for you."
Her depressed mood was reactivated by Ye Fan's idea of driving Jin Zhilin away.
As long as Jin Zhilin is opened in Hong Kong City, with Ye Fan's sense of responsibility, even if he doesn't squat in Hong Kong City all day long, he will come over from time to time to patrol.
In this way, there will be more opportunities for the two of them to meet.
"Don't get excited, I just have an idea temporarily."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Even if we want to build it, we have to survive this crisis."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Huo Ziyan smiled, and then asked: "How will we deal with the fourth princess and the others next?"
"Just wait and see what happens for two days!"
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with light:
"Shen Xiaodiao is a careful person, but he is as rampant as killing a tiger. If the two of them join forces, there will be disadvantages but no advantages."
"Maybe they will fight among themselves. In that case, we will have more opportunities."
"Of course, we must be on high alert these days and never let the Fourth Princess hurt you and Ziqi."
He also looked for an opportunity to test the strength of the Fourth Princess and others to see if there was any chance to kill them quietly.
Huo Ziyan smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Where are you going now?"
Ye Fan stretched himself and responded: "Go back to the cruise ship and take a nap. I have been using my brain too much recently."
Huo Ziyan smiled, turned the direction, increased the accelerator by two points, and drove the car towards the Alisa cruise ship.
But Ye Fan's idea of taking a good rest soon came to nothing.
When he returned to the Elisa cruise ship, he saw a group of uninvited guests.
Tang Shi Er.
Tang Shi'er, dressed in rich clothes, was looking at the map on the wall and playing with two walnuts in his hand.
The walnuts crackled loudly.
He was no longer as embarrassed as he was when he was escaping from the Blood Dragon Garden, and was more of a high-spirited and proud person.
He was accompanied by a group of bodyguards and secretaries.
There was a pot of tea and several snacks in front of everyone, but they didn't move much. They just waited quietly.
"Ye Fan, are you back?"
Seeing Ye Fan appear, Tang Shi'er's eyes lit up and he immediately turned around to greet him happily.
Ye Fan nodded lightly, neither salty nor bland: "Tang Shi'er, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
He didn't have a good impression of Tang Shi'er.
Ye Jia's birthday banquet stabbed him, and he was the one who brought him into the Yangguo turmoil. In addition, Tang Zhan and other sons died in the battle. He was vigilant but also resentful of Tang Shi'er.
"I just came back from abroad. I stopped by Hong Kong City and heard that you were in some trouble, so I thought of coming over to take a look."
Tang Shi'er didn't care about Ye Fan's indifference: "See if I can help you a little."
"Even if we don't have the relationship of Hongyan, we still have the friendship of life and death in Blood Dragon Garden. If you have something to do, I will take a look no matter what."
He was very enthusiastic: "I know you have misunderstandings and resentments towards me, but I don't blame you. I believe you will understand me sooner or later..."
"There is indeed trouble!"
Ye Fan originally didn't want to talk too much nonsense to Tang Shi'er, but when he heard that he was about to talk about truth, he didn't hesitate to interrupt:
"And two big troubles!"
"The first one is that the Qianying Group was suppressed by the Xiang Kingdom. People were arrested and the company was rectified. Can you solve it?"
"The second one is that the fourth princess has returned as king and is preparing to take revenge on the two wealthy families of Huo and Han. Can you help?"
"If you can't, get as far away as you can!"
Ye Fan asked someone to pour me a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
Tang Shi'er laughed: "Hehe, I really might be able to help you solve it."
Ye Fan tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "Can you solve it?"
"Yes, there is a good chance."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the Fourth Princess and I are old acquaintances and have a close friendship."
Tang Shi'er looked at Ye Fan with a playful look: "She was able to save her life in the Elephant Kingdom and get to know the Elephant King. She owes a lot to me."
Ye Fan said calmly: "Do you still have a story with her?"
"You know, Tang Clan has always liked to support justice, and likes to help when it sees injustice."
Tang Shi'er was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Back then, I was doing business in the Xiang Kingdom and planning to build a banking network, and I happened to meet the down-and-out fourth princess."
"She was being chased and her life was hanging by a thread, so I took action to save her."
"After knowing her origin and situation, I not only gave her a sum of money, but also hired several experts to protect her."
"Later, when I left Xiang Country, I held a reception to reward her. I also invited her, and even helped her connect with King Xiang."
"She can survive from the hands of the four wealthy families and become the hot fourth princess. I have at least five achievements."
Tang Shi'er talked about the past very proudly: "I should be considered her noble... no, benefactor."
"Support justice, draw your sword to help...it sounds so nice."
Ye Fan hit the nail on the head: "To put it bluntly, the Tang clan is a troublemaker, and they like to cast a wide net on the down-and-out wealthy children and give out small favors."
"This will not only stir up chaos among the major forces, but also gain investment in the down-and-out children."
"If luck develops like the fourth princess, the rewards from the Tang Sect will be a hundred times a thousand times."
"If my estimate is correct, the underground network of Dihao Bank in Xiang Kingdom is probably inseparable from the protection of the fourth princess."
Ye Fan quickly figured out something.
"It is true that she has something to do with the Fourth Princess. She has taken care of the Tang Clan a lot, but..."
Tang Shi'er did not deny it, and then patted his head:
"Tsk, you've led me astray."
"I know the fourth princess well. If I can persuade her to resolve your grudges, not only will the crisis for the four wealthy families be resolved, but Qianying Group will also be able to return to its peak..."
He added: "At least Qianying's interests in Xiang Country can be recovered."
Ye Fan smiled faintly:
"You are familiar with the fourth princess, but others may not be familiar with you..."
