But Ye Fan showed no worry, even with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing Ye Fan's demeanor, Brother Dong was full of confusion. Had Ye Fan made all the preparations?
Ye Fan's expression had already explained everything.
Seeing Ye Fan not answer, Brother Dong naturally wouldn't ask too many questions.
After the two returned to Xiao Ran Pavilion, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.
The next morning, Feng Ting sent someone to greet Ye Fan.
Ye Fan called Brother Dong, and the two headed to the place Feng Ting had agreed upon.
In the private room, upon seeing Ye Fan and Brother Dong enter, Feng Ting quickly stood up, his attitude even more respectful than the previous day.
"Mr. Ye, please take the main seat."
Feng Ting stood up and said to Ye Fan with great reverence.
Hearing Feng Ting's words, Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, then a faint smile appeared on his face.
It seemed his words from yesterday had worked; Feng Ting was much more obedient than yesterday.
However, this was the result Ye Fan wanted to see. If he didn't show Feng Ting some consequences, he would probably never know what it meant to restrain himself.
Casually taking the main seat, Ye Fan's expression was calm, showing no abnormality.
Seeing Ye Fan like this, Feng Ting didn't mind and sat by his side with a fawning smile.
"Mr. Ye, the Feng family is in chaos."
After sitting down, Feng Ting got straight to the point.
Oh?
Ye Fan frowned, looking at Feng Ting, "The Feng family is in internal strife?"
Feng Ting nodded heavily, "Last night, Feng Xiao did not return all night. After the old man woke up, he sent people to search everywhere, but there was no result. Until this morning, there was still no news of Feng Xiao. The old man vomited several mouthfuls of blood and fell into a coma again. Now, the entire Feng family is in chaos. If Feng Xiao does not appear, the Feng family will be completely finished."
Feng Ting's eyes were filled with difficulty, clearly, he was hesitant about the current situation of the Feng family.
"I see."
Ye Fan nodded calmly, "So, the old man's mind is still on Feng Xiao. Since that's the case, how do you plan to proceed?"
His gaze was fixed on Feng Ting, this was the test. If Feng Ting was incapable of handling the complex affairs of the Feng family, it would mean he couldn't win over the Feng family. If that were the case, Ye Fan would have to consider whether to find other ways.
Hearing Ye Fan's question and looking at Ye Fan's cold gaze, Feng Ting trembled violently.
He knew that Ye Fan was testing him, and Ye Fan's attitude towards him had changed drastically since yesterday.
Previously, he had always held onto a glimmer of hope, controlling the family quietly and becoming the head of the family without harming the Feng family's interests.
But now it seemed he had underestimated Ye Fan and didn't know Ye Fan's methods.
Feeling the immense pressure from Ye Fan, Feng Ting quickly said, "I want to force the old man to pass the position of family head to me. After all, the Feng family cannot be in chaos, and I don't want to take over a broken Feng family."
Feng Ting no longer concealed anything and told Ye Fan the truth.
Hearing Feng Ting's words, Ye Fan frowned.
"But right now, the Feng family is not united, and many people are loyal to Feng Xiao. Have you considered the consequences of taking over such a Feng family?"
Ye Fan's words were not wrong, and Feng Ting also frowned.
"But at present, those people in the Feng family still control many of the family's industries. If they are all removed, I'm afraid the Feng family's business will also be in danger."
Feng Ting was worried.
But Ye Fan shook his head, "It's better to rebuild after destruction than to take over a disobedient Feng family. Moreover, with my support, the Feng family will surely return to its peak in a very short time, even surpassing its past. Do you think I don't have this capability?"
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Feng Ting.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Feng Ting trembled violently, but then he smiled.
"Mr. Ye's methods, Feng Ting has long experienced. Today, with Mr. Ye's words, I am completely at ease."
Feng Ting was an ambitious man, but not a fool. He naturally knew Ye Fan's capabilities and the meaning behind his words.
As long as he had Ye Fan's help, let alone a family with a century of heritage like the Feng family, even a small family starting from scratch would likely rise rapidly overnight.
This was Ye Fan's strength.
Previously, Ye Fan was only on good terms with the Wang family, but later, he gradually became the enforcement captain and had a deep relationship with the City Lord's mansion.
Such strength made him an unshakeable presence in Jiangnan City.
And now, with the Gu family as a towering tree as his backer, it was imaginable that as long as Ye Fan wished, he could make anyone an uncrowned king in Jiangnan City.
Seeing Feng Ting say this, Ye Fan smiled.
"I like smart people, but I dislike those who play mind games with me. Feng Ting, I believe you are a smart person and know what you should and shouldn't do."
These words were a warning to Feng Ting that if he didn't obey, Ye Fan could cripple him at any time.
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Feng Ting quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Ye, everything Feng Ting has is given by you. In the future, I am willing to follow your lead, go through fire and water, and spare no effort."
At this moment, if he didn't show his loyalty, Ye Fan might turn against him at any moment, so Feng Ting immediately declared his stance.
"Very good, I believe that under your leadership, the Feng family will surely regain its glory."
...
Ye Fan was in a very good mood during this meal, while Feng Ting was on edge. With someone like Ye Fan around, he always felt uncomfortable.
But he dared not defy Ye Fan's wishes.
After Ye Fan and Brother Dong left, Feng Ting finally let out a long sigh and sank into the chair.
"Second Master, are we going to be Ye Fan's dogs from now on?"
Feng Ting's confidant asked in a low voice.
"Old Gong, you don't understand Ye Fan and don't know how terrifying he is. I must advise you that until your strength is sufficient to contend with him, absolutely do not have any ulterior motives, otherwise, you will die miserably. Look at Feng Xiao's fate. How arrogant was the former Feng Xiao? But in just these two months, Feng Xiao not only suffered heavy losses but also lost his life. This is a lesson. We must not follow Feng Xiao's path."
Feng Ting narrowed his eyes and instructed in a deep voice.
Hearing Feng Ting's words, Old Gong frowned, but then he nodded heavily.
He had followed Feng Ting since childhood and regarded Feng Ting as his only master, so he would support anything Feng Ting said without question.
Even if he was unwilling in his heart about the decision Feng Ting had made now, he would not have any complaints.
Seeing Old Gong nod, Feng Ting finally felt relieved.
He was afraid that Old Gong would act recklessly and anger Ye Fan, in which case they would only have death.
Afterward, the two left the hotel.
At this time, the Feng family was already in complete disarray.
