Some people are destined to be kings, and even if they deliberately conceal their sharpness, they cannot hide their formidable edges.
Without a doubt, Ye Fan was such a person.
While the two were conversing, Sun Yilang slowly walked down the stairs.
When he saw Ye Fan, his face instantly darkened.
"Ye Fan, how dare you show your face at my Bogu Studio? I will kill you!"
Saying this, he staggered and tottered towards Ye Fan.
If it weren't for Ye Fan, how could he and his Bogu Studio have fallen into such a state?
Seeing Sun Yilang acting like a madman, Ye Fan frowned and roared, "Sun Yilang!"
His voice was like a great bell, or like thunder from the highest heavens.
Even Ji Nanshan, standing behind him, felt his heart tremble.
As for Sun Yilang, he stopped dead in his tracks, staring at Ye Fan in shock.
"Boss Sun," Ye Fan said, narrowing his eyes slightly. "The current predicament of Bogu Studio is the result of your willful actions. If you hadn't conspired with others to target me, why would I have targeted Bogu Studio? I am here today to help you. If you don't appreciate it, I can leave, and you can fend for yourself."
"Help me?" Sun Yilang frowned, stunned. "How can you help me? Bogu Studio's reputation has plummeted. No one visits anymore. Even if there are good items, no one will believe they are genuine."
With a bad reputation, no one would believe. It was like the former Tianyin Pavilion. If Ye Fan hadn't turned the tide, Tianyin Pavilion would likely have declined and never reached its current brilliant state.
Ye Fan let out a cold laugh and found a sofa to sit on himself.
"I heard you owe a lot of foreign debt, Boss Sun. I can help you repay it, and I will also make Bogu Studio regain its former glory. I believe you won't doubt my abilities; Tianyin Pavilion is the best example."
Indeed, Ye Fan had the capability!
Sun Yilang's brows furrowed even tighter. "Are you really going to help me?"
His eyes were filled with suspicion. If Ye Fan had come to mock him, or even to deliver a final blow, he would have believed it. But why would he help him?
Little did he know, was mercy to an enemy cruelty to oneself?
Ye Fan nodded with a smile, "Of course I'll help you, but there are conditions."
"What conditions?"
Sun Yilang asked urgently. Now, as long as Bogu Studio could be revived, he would agree to any condition without hesitation.
"From now on, Bogu Studio will belong to me, and you, Sun Yilang, will hold a forty percent stake in dry shares. You will not participate in the operation of Bogu Studio, only receive dividends at the end of the year. In return, I will repay all your debts, and your future life will be very comfortable."
His eyes fixed on Sun Yilang, a faint smile on his face, appearing harmless.
But in Sun Yilang's eyes, this appearance was like that of a devil.
"Ye Fan, you, you have a good plan! You want to swallow my Bogu Studio? Based on what? You are not worthy!"
Sun Yilang was furious. He had never expected Ye Fan to make such an exorbitant demand, wanting to take over Bogu Studio.
After all, this was the fruit of his labor for decades, to build Bogu Studio into what it was today.
Let alone trying to lowball him for it, even if he were offered enough money, she wouldn't be tempted.
Decades of hard work and meticulous management were priceless!
"Oh? Is Boss Sun rejecting me? I advise you to think carefully before answering. Currently, besides me, Ye Fan, no one else will take over your Bogu Studio. Because once they do, they will only lose money day after day. Only I can help you."
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, but he finally said coldly.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Sun Yilang became even more enraged. "Ye Fan, although I, Sun Yilang, have lost, I have not stooped to the point where a junior like you can walk all over me. My Bogu Studio does not welcome you. Get out immediately!"
Sun Yilang's body trembled. If his physical strength allowed, he would have attacked Ye Fan long ago.
Seeing Sun Yilang's angry demeanor, Ye Fan sneered.
"It won't be long before you come begging me. But I am magnanimous and won't hold it against you. The conditions I offer today will always stand."
He got up leisurely, and under Sun Yilang's murderous gaze, Ye Fan and Old Master Ji slowly left Bogu Studio.
"Brother Ye, that Sun Yilang won't agree to your terms. Bogu Studio is his life's work. How could he hand it over to you?"
Ji Nanshan muttered softly behind him.
Ye Fan shrugged, "When people are driven to desperation, they can abandon anything. Only life is the most important. Now, Sun Yilang might refuse without hesitation, but when those creditors come knocking, what else can he do but sell Bogu Studio?"
"But even so, there are plenty of people who want to acquire Bogu Studio. Whether it's the eldest daughter of the Shen family or other families in Jiangcheng, there are many capable people who can take over Bogu Studio."
Ji Nanshan frowned. Ye Fan's calculations were sound, but he overlooked that there were many wealthy individuals in Jiangcheng, and who wouldn't want to get their hands on such a lucrative piece of pie?
Ye Fan was completely unfazed. "After tonight, Sun Yilang will probably become a rat that everyone avoids. No one will dare to associate with him."
These words stunned Ji Nanshan again, his face filled with confusion.
"Brother Ye, what do you mean by that?"
Ye Fan shook his head, smiled, and did not answer. "This is a top secret. Old Master Ji will know soon enough."
...
From the moment Ye Fan left Bogu Studio, news began to spread throughout Jiangcheng.
Qin Zhonghe was silenced by the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and a major deal was implicated. Bogu Studio's boss, Sun Yilang, was also involved but had reportedly pledged allegiance to Ye Fan.
As soon as this news broke, it caused a huge stir in Jiangcheng. Within a few hours, it had created immense ripples in the antique circle.
"Bang."
Sun Yilang smashed the phone in his hand to the ground, shattering it instantly.
His face was flushed red with rage.
"These bastards! They actually believed that Ye Fan's lies. How could I possibly pledge allegiance to him?"
The Guan family member beside him quickly stepped forward to comfort him. "Master, we should find a way quickly. Creditors will likely be knocking on the door tomorrow to demand payment, and those people behind you will surely silence you."
"Silence me?" A sudden wave of fear flashed through Sun Yilang's mind.
"Wow."
He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"No, they can't do this to me. I am still very valuable to them. Without me, they would have no platform for trading those fakes. They absolutely cannot kill me."
He stumbled and fell to the ground.
Seeing Sun Yilang in such a state, the butler sighed. It seemed he needed to find a way out for himself as soon as possible, otherwise, he would inevitably be implicated and suffer misfortune.
