If Ye Fan's current action failed, it was likely that not only this rare opportunity would be lost, but his reputation would also suffer.
The enforcer immediately frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He had not heard any news of the City Lord sending someone to inspect. Could this young man in front of him be lying?
However, judging by Ye Fan's expression, he didn't seem to be lying. His face was calm, even carrying a hint of arrogance. If he were lying, he wouldn't be able to hide it so well, would he?
For a moment, he was in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.
Seeing that the enforcer did not move aside, Ye Fan's expression suddenly turned grim.
"What? You don't believe me? Do you want to ask your boss, Lü Liang?"
Anger flickered across Ye Fan's face, and his aura surged instantly.
He had been personally appointed by City Lord Li. If he couldn't even get past the enforcers' gate, it would be a complete laughingstock.
Moreover, who would listen to him in the future if these enforcers didn't respect him?
After speaking, Ye Fan gave Dong Zi a meaningful glance.
When the two of them returned, they had already discussed that this time, they must awe all the enforcers.
At this moment, seeing Ye Fan's gaze, Dong Zi immediately understood. Before the enforcer could speak, he strode forward, raising his hand and slapping the enforcer.
"Slap."
This slap was incredibly abrupt at the entrance of the enforcement team.
The enforcer was clearly stunned, clutching his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He, this enforcer, had never been so humiliated before. In his many years in the enforcement team, he had never heard of anyone daring to lay a hand on an enforcer. Today, he had truly seen something new.
"Get lost."
Dong Zi roared, his voice muffled. The enforcer was so frightened that he fell to the ground, not daring to utter another word.
Seeing this, Ye Fan snorted coldly, "Ignorant fool, you dare to block my path? If there's a next time, I will punish you severely."
With that, he strode into the enforcement team with his hands behind his back.
Dong Zi followed Ye Fan with his head held high, feeling incredibly imposing.
Although this imposing feeling was due to Ye Fan, it couldn't dampen Dong Zi's inner joy.
The commotion at the entrance had already alerted those inside. Seeing Ye Fan and Dong Zi barge in so brazenly, their faces immediately showed anger, and they stepped forward to surround them. Their demeanor suggested they were ready to attack Ye Fan at any moment.
"What? Is this still the enforcement team of Jiangnan City? Are you still subordinates of the City Lord's mansion?"
Looking at the eager crowd around him, Ye Fan roared, his face filled with fury.
A majestic aura erupted from him like a fierce wind, forcing the enforcers to retreat two steps, their faces filled with shock.
They were all seasoned fighters, but they had never expected this young man to possess such a terrifying presence.
If they hadn't known their identity as enforcers, they would have scattered long ago.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you commit violence in the enforcement team? I think you're tired of living."
A middle-aged man with a bureaucratic air stepped forward, pointing at Ye Fan and asking in a deep voice.
Ye Fan had a feeling that if his answer couldn't intimidate them, this middle-aged man would immediately order his subordinates to attack.
If he were to fight against such a pack of wolves, he would likely be stripped of his skin, if not killed.
With a slight smile, Ye Fan looked up and said, "Lü Liang, come out and see me."
He roared towards the staircase.
This shout startled everyone else. Who exactly was this brat? How dare he shout at the captain like that?
After all, the captain of the enforcement team was the second-in-command of Jiangnan City, holding a noble status and esteemed position. Especially their Captain Lü, who was known for his fiery temper and explosive rage.
As expected, the next moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man strode over quickly.
The middle-aged man was Lü Liang. He had a tanned complexion, a flat forehead, large eyes, a high nose, and piercing eyes. Even his brows carried a heroic spirit.
"Are you calling me?"
Approaching, Lü Liang looked at Ye Fan, scrutinizing him from head to toe, as if he wanted to see through him completely.
But under his sharp gaze, Ye Fan showed no fear, instead wearing a faint smile.
"The City Lord has ordered me to temporarily take charge of the enforcement team. This is an order."
Saying that, Ye Fan handed a letter to Lü Liang.
Lü Liang took the letter and did not read it closely. The City Lord had already called him.
Furthermore, he had heard of Ye Fan before. He knew Ye Fan when Ye Fan was first gaining fame in Jiangcheng.
"Brother Ye, please come inside."
After looking for a moment and seeing that Ye Fan was indeed a person of great talent, Lü Liang smiled and spoke.
The remaining members of the enforcement team were stunned to see their captain, who usually seemed ready to devour people, being so polite to Ye Fan.
They knew that when a general is in command, they can disobey the king's orders. Lü Liang had always shown no pleasantries to anyone outside the enforcement team, but what was happening today?
Could it be that this kid was an old acquaintance of Captain Lü?
Even Ye Fan was taken aback. Before coming, he had considered many ways to deal with Lü Liang, as he had heard that Lü Liang had a terrible temper.
But he never expected everything to go so smoothly.
Ye Fan looked at Lü Liang, who was constantly introducing the situation, with surprise. Had he mistakenly received a fake enforcement captain?
Leading Ye Fan and his group into the office, Lü Liang quickly ordered tea to be served.
"Brother Ye, are you very surprised? Why is Lü Liang, who always has a bad reputation outside, so polite to you?"
Ye Fan was stunned again. He had intended to try and extract information from Lü Liang later, but he hadn't expected him to be so direct, without any concealment.
What was happening in this world? Was this still the world he was familiar with?
Ye Fan was lost and bewildered.
Even with two lifetimes of experience, he had never encountered such a situation.
Even Dong Zi beside him was dumbfounded. Damn it, what was going on?
Seeing the strange expressions on both their faces, Lü Liang knew they were undoubtedly full of questions.
So, he smiled and said, "Shen Bao and I are good brothers. My life was once saved by Brother Shen Bao, Shen Er Ge. Afterwards, he even helped me join the enforcement team. Although I am now the captain of the Jiangnan Enforcement Team, to be honest, I have always been a subordinate of the Shen family, a brother under Brother Shen Er Ge."
"A few days ago, Brother Shen Er Ge sent me a message. If you came looking for me, I must wholeheartedly assist you. I originally thought you would come to me when you were in danger, but I didn't receive any news until you were out of danger. It was only after I received the City Lord's order that I learned of it. Brother Ye, you truly treat me like an outsider."
Lü Liang complained to Ye Fan incessantly, making Ye Fan smile wryly in helplessness.
Damn it, who knew that the captain of the Jiangnan City enforcement team had such a deep friendship with my brother-in-law!
If he had known earlier, Ye Fan would have come to look for him long ago. Why would he have gone through so much trouble?
