Feng Xiao's face was tinged with anger, his eyes flashing with cold light, showing no fear of Lu Liang.
In his eyes, with the Heavenly King's Mansion as a towering tree behind him, what was Lu Liang?
Feng Xiao's reaction stunned Ye Fan and Lu Liang. They glanced at each other, seeing mockery in each other's eyes.
At this moment, Feng Xiao seemed no different from a fool to them.
After all, Lu Liang was the second-in-command of Jiangnan City and the steadfast captain of the Enforcement Team.
Holding a position of authority second only to one person and above ten thousand, although he was considered a junior among those old fogeys, his status was enough to compensate for everything.
Even the Feng family's elder would nod and greet him.
To their surprise, the eldest young master of the Feng family was so arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all.
Lu Liang couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Ye, the world has really changed. In the past, clowns would hide in the dark to avoid being discovered and becoming rats crossing the street. How is it that nowadays, these clowns are boldly jumping out?"
Ye Fan cooperatively shook his head, "Captain Lu, people nowadays can't distinguish right from wrong or understand good from bad. Their hearts only care about profit, and they don't bother with whether someone is a clown or not."
As he spoke, Ye Fan sighed, "However, some people are unaware of their own limitations. If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll probably never know why the flowers are so red."
Saying this, he looked at Feng Xiao.
"Young Master Feng, don't you agree?"
The two of them, singing in harmony, were clearly mocking Feng Xiao. As the eldest young master of the Feng family, how could he tolerate this?
"Ye Fan, you are courting death."
He suddenly stood up and threw a punch at Ye Fan.
It was difficult to imagine that the dignified eldest young master of the Feng family would resort to violence against anyone.
But the moment his fist was thrown, his face felt a burning pain.
*Slap~*
Ye Fan raised his hand and slapped him hard across the cheek.
Feng Xiao was stunned, seemingly dazed by the slap.
He stood there blankly, looking at Ye Fan, at a loss for what to do for a moment.
"Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you're the eldest young master of the Feng family?"
Ye Fan reprimanded him coldly, his eyes filled with indifference.
He had never taken Feng Xiao seriously, even with the Feng family and the Heavenly King's Mansion behind him.
"Ye Fan, you..."
Feng Xiao, having regained his senses, was burning with rage. He raised his finger and pointed at Ye Fan, about to curse.
But before his curses could escape his lips, Ye Fan had already raised his foot.
"Get out."
With a furious roar, the kick was as fast as lightning, like a fierce tiger unleashed from its cage, emitting a whistling sound.
Although Feng Xiao was arrogant, he had lived a life of pampering for many years and had never endured such a terrifying attack.
*Bang~* The kick sent Feng Xiao flying backward.
His body was like a kite with a broken string, drifting in the wind.
*Boom~*
He crashed against the wall and then fell heavily to the ground.
Blood was already flowing from the corner of Feng Xiao's mouth. After Ye Fan's punch and kick, this once proud young master of the Feng family had a face as pale as paper, and his pained expression was contorted.
Lu Liang, standing nearby, could not bear to watch. Was this still the fearless young master of the Feng family?
"Captain Lu, this person is causing trouble in the Enforcement Team. According to the law, shouldn't he be arrested? Moreover, this person is involved in the counterfeiting case that was recently cracked. We absolutely cannot let him go."
Ye Fan turned to look at Feng Xiao, a cold smile on his face, even his eyes seemed to be smiling.
He was truly malicious, not only beating Feng Xiao but also instigating Lu Liang to arrest him. This was truly a killing blow to the heart.
Feng Xiao, lying on the ground, felt intense pain from the blows. Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah."
With a scream, Feng Xiao's vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
Overcome with anger, despite Feng Xiao's arrogance, he couldn't take it anymore.
"He's fainted already? His psychological resilience is too weak?"
Ye Fan shook his head disdainfully. He had initially thought that this young master Feng would retort a few words, but unexpectedly, he was so easily angered into unconsciousness, which truly disappointed him.
Lu Liang chuckled, "You brat, don't act like you're getting the worst of it when you've already gained an advantage. After all, he's the eldest young master of the Feng family. You've beaten him so recklessly. If the Feng family elder finds out, he probably won't let you off."
Despite his admiration for Ye Fan's audacious actions, Lu Liang was also worried.
There were no impermeable walls. The Feng family would eventually find out about this.
However, Ye Fan showed no fear, even a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Since I've arrested him, I never intended for him to live. This person is insidious and venomous. If I let him leave alive, I'll have to run for my life immediately."
Given Feng Xiao's vindictive nature, if he were to leave alive, he would definitely retaliate against Ye Fan in the most brutal way.
As the saying goes, a direct attack is easy to dodge, but a hidden dart is difficult to guard against. Ye Fan would never allow such a danger to exist.
"You're thinking the same as me. However, even so, this matter can only be kept quiet for a while, not for too long. After all, the Feng family is powerful and influential, and there are many things that even I cannot interfere with too much."
Lu Liang lowered his voice.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was equivalent to telling Ye Fan that he must resolve the Feng family as soon as possible.
Seeing a hint of coldness flash in Lu Liang's eyes, Ye Fan nodded heavily.
Feng Xiao was directly imprisoned by Lu Liang, with no one allowed to see him without his order. After Ye Fan left the Enforcement Team, he went directly to the City Lord's mansion.
City Lord Li did not meet Ye Fan but sent someone to convey a message, offering Ye Fan the position of captain of the Enforcement Team.
Ye Fan was stunned by City Lord Li's appointment.
Asking him to take on the role of captain of the Enforcement Team? What exactly did this City Lord Li want?
Ye Fan was not a fool. The captain of the Enforcement Team, the second-in-command of Jiangnan City, was a position of immense importance.
Although he could cure City Lord Li's daughter's illness, it was unlikely he would bestow such a great favor upon him for that reason alone.
Furthermore, he was new to Jiangnan City and unfamiliar with the place. He had no prior official experience, so being directly promoted to the second-in-command was simply illogical.
There must be a hidden motive behind this unusual event. The steward who delivered the message seemed to notice Ye Fan's confusion and explained with a smile, "Mr. Ye, our master instructed that young talents like yourself must be brought into his circle. Therefore, offering you the position of captain of the Enforcement Team is also to make you feel grateful. You are new here and unaware of many things, so this position will allow you to observe and listen more. Moreover, the people in the Enforcement Team were all promoted by the City Lord himself, so they will surely obey your commands."
The steward was over sixty years old, with white hair, and looked somewhat prosperous.
Ye Fan smiled, "Thank you, steward. Please convey my thanks to the City Lord and tell him that I, Ye Fan, am grateful. When he has free time another day, I will treat him to a meal."
