This was their last choice. No matter what, they couldn't watch their boss being tortured like this.
Even if they let Elder Gu go, they would be punished. At worst, they would bear it together, as long as they could keep their lives.
But if they didn't release him, their boss would die immediately.
Ye Fan smiled, a very carefree smile.
"Let him go. I really disdain to make a move on him."
Ye Fan said indifferently. He wasn't lying. If it weren't for Elder Gu, he wouldn't have resorted to such means.
Although these methods were effective in the end, they were also the most shameless.
The four subordinates could only release Elder Gu helplessly.
Upon seeing that it was Ye Fan, Elder Gu was obviously stunned, "It's you?"
Ye Fan's lips curved into a smile, "Elder Gu, long time no see. But this doesn't seem like the place to talk. We should leave quickly."
Ye Fan didn't know what to say to Elder Gu.
After all, Elder Gu's current predicament was also because of him.
If he hadn't deceived him with that bronze dragon, Elder Gu probably wouldn't have been hated by Feng Xiao, nor would he have suffered this calamity.
However, these were all secondary matters. The priority now was to get him out.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Elder Gu frowned, his face showing anger.
"Elder Gu, these people were prepared to kill you. If you hesitate here any longer, you might lose your life. Although I know you don't fear death, there's a difference between dying heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. I think you wouldn't want to die so obscurely, would you?"
Ye Fan's face was sincere. At this point, he could only persuade the old man like this. Otherwise, with the old man's temperament, if he refused to leave with him, all his efforts would be in vain.
Elder Gu frowned and pondered for a moment, eventually nodding.
He understood the current situation. If he didn't leave quickly, he might lose his old life here.
Although Elder Gu was stubborn, he wasn't foolish. Having been in Jiangnan City for so many years, he was as shrewd as an old fox.
Seeing Elder Gu agree, Ye Fan's suspended heart finally settled.
Then, he grabbed the man with the triangular eyes and said to Elder Gu, "Let's go."
The three of them left quickly, followed closely by dozens of subordinates, ready to act at any moment.
Facing this situation, Ye Fan was not alarmed at all. He even had a faint smile on his face.
As long as the man with the triangular eyes was in his hands, these subordinates wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Upon reaching the outside, Dong Zi had already come to the rendezvous point. He pulled Elder Gu into the car, while Ye Fan wore a cold smile.
"Gentlemen, this is as far as you escort us. No need to see us off."
Saying this, he kicked the man with the triangular eyes fiercely.
With this kick, Ye Fan exerted immense force, even infusing his true qi into it, sending the man with the triangular eyes flying several meters away.
The man with the triangular eyes let out a pig-like scream, flying several meters before being caught by his subordinates.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan had already gotten into the car. Brother Dong stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away like lightning.
By the time the dozens of subordinates reacted, the car had only its taillights and a trail of dust left behind.
Ye Fan let out a long sigh, "Hoo, it's fortunate we escaped quickly. If we had been caught by these scoundrels, even if we could get out, it would have been a lot of trouble."
Ye Fan said with lingering fear.
If he were alone, perhaps he would have been fearless of these people. At worst, he would have fought them head-on. Even if he was exhausted in the end, Ye Fan could at least have left at ease.
But with Elder Gu, everything was different, as he was a liability.
Dong Zi also showed a smile, "These scoundrels are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. After suffering such a great loss this time, they probably won't give up easily."
Ye Fan didn't care whether they gave up or not, as these people didn't recognize him.
Moreover, even if they recognized him, it wouldn't matter. Would they dare to storm into Xiao Ran Pavilion to snatch someone?
Once Elder Gu reached Xiao Ran Pavilion, his safety would be guaranteed.
Furthermore, Xiao Ran Pavilion was his territory. If they dared to cause trouble in Xiao Ran Pavilion, Ye Fan would have countless ways to make them pay dearly.
After all, he also held the position of captain of the enforcement team.
With this identity, no one could mess with him.
Elder Gu had a stern expression since he got into the car.
"You are Ye Fan?"
Staring at Ye Fan, Elder Gu asked in a deep voice after a long pause.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded, "That's right, I am Ye Fan."
"That bronze dragon, you knew it had problems long ago, didn't you? You wanted to use that bronze dragon to cheat Xiao Ran Pavilion, is that it?"
The anger on his face grew more intense, and it seemed as if Elder Gu's eyes were about to spew fire.
Looking at Elder Gu's demeanor, Ye Fan gave a bitter smile.
But he nodded noncommittally, "That bronze dragon was indeed meant to cheat Xiao Ran Pavilion. However, at that time, I didn't expect to implicate Elder Gu. I simply wanted to trick Feng Xiao. Elder Gu, you must be clear about my relationship with Feng Xiao. It's either he dies or I die. Therefore, when dealing with enemies, I will use any means necessary. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Ye Fan's gaze also gradually brightened, and he stared at Elder Gu, speaking very firmly.
This was his nature. Once he did something, he wouldn't deny it.
But as long as Ye Fan believed it was right, he wouldn't be afraid even if others looked at him strangely.
With his opponent pushing him to his doorstep, did he still need to adhere to any code of conduct?
Although Ye Fan always adhered to justice in his heart, it depended on whom he was dealing with.
When dealing with despicable characters like Feng Xiao, the best way was to strike him hard, teach him a lesson, make him feel pain, and then he wouldn't bother him again.
Looking at Ye Fan's determined gaze, Elder Gu took a deep breath.
He was not an old fossil, and he had heard Ye Fan's words.
If he were in Ye Fan's position, he would probably be even more ruthless.
Moreover, Ye Fan was only targeting Feng Xiao, not anyone else.
As for himself, it was all a miscalculation.
First, his eyesight was insufficient. He didn't notice the problem with the bronze dragon, so he fell into Ye Fan's trap.
Then, Feng Xiao cherished that bronze dragon like a treasure.
He even went to the appraisal fair with the bronze dragon.
All these coincidences came together to create the current situation.
A moment later, Elder Gu sighed, "It seems that Feng Xiao wanted to kill me because you ruthlessly suppressed him at the appraisal fair."
Ye Fan nodded again, "Exactly. Given Feng Xiao's personality, he would never tolerate this. Therefore, after the appraisal fair, I had people secretly monitor his every move. When I learned that Elder Gu was secretly escorted to the factory, I knew he must be planning to make a move on you. However, Elder Gu has a deep relationship with Feng Xiao, so Feng Xiao wouldn't act personally. After all, if he acted personally, he would likely gain a bad reputation. There are no impermeable walls in this world, so he arranged for Fatty Chen to deal with you."
