Chapter 763: Chapter 759: eting Lu Xiaoman
Ye Fan entered the presidential suite, washed up, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes before sitting down on the living room sofa to rest for a while.
Even after two days without sleep, he was still full of energy, especially since he had napped for a few hours just before dawn.
So, he sat on the sofa for a while, then left and drove to Hua Hai Martial Arts to find Lu Xiaoman.
After several months, seeing Lu Xiaoman again, Ye Fan noticed that she had lost quite a bit of weight.
And when Lu Xiaoman suddenly saw Ye Fan, she was so excited that she imdiately threw herself into Ye Fan’s arms and sobbed.
Although Ye Fan had called her before flying to Africa to inform her that he would be going abroad for a while, possibly from a week to a month, what she hadn’t anticipated was that Ye Fan would be gone for several months. During those months, she couldn’t get through to him by phone and worried about him day and night.
Ye Fan held Lu Xiaoman in his arms and comforted her gently.
After seven or eight minutes, Lu Xiaoman cald down.
However, no sooner had she left Ye Fan’s embrace than she covered her face with her hands and rushed to the restroom.
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoman returned with a flushed, embarrassed face.
Ye Fan looked at her tenderly with a chuckle, stepped forward, took her soft hand, and sat down on the sofa.
They sat snuggled on the sofa together, whispering sweet nothings until it was ti for lunch.
For lunch, Ye Fan also invited Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng.
“Where is Xiaoyan? Invite her too,” Ye Fan said to Lu Xiaoman.
Lu Xiaoman responded, “Xiaoyan is in Mingde County. She won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.”
“Oh?” Ye Fan replied inquiringly.
Lu Xiaoman explained, “Xiaoyan has set up a factory in Mingde County.”
As Lu Xiaoman said this, Ye Fan rembered that Mo Xiaoyan had ntioned her plans to set up a factory in Mingde County.
“After the New Year, Xiaoyan beca much more diligent,” Lu Xiaoman said. “It’s like sothing is driving her. She cos to the martial arts hall much less often now. I asked her about it, but she wouldn’t say.”
“Hmm,” Ye Fan pondered aloud.
After a happy lunch together, Lu Chengqiang also drove with Ye Fan to Hua Hai Martial Arts.
Back at the martial arts hall, knowing that Ye Fan would catch up with Shi Sheng and Lu Chengqiang, Lu Xiaoman didn’t cling to Ye Fan. Instead, she went into the office and took a nap in the small resting room.
In a training room, Ye Fan checked the progress of Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng’s ancient martial arts training. Shi Sheng had already reached the late stage of visible power; even before training with Ye Fan, his physical fitness had reached the early stage of visible power. Lu Chengqiang had also reached the early stage of visible power. Lu Chengqiang had a strong foundation but because of his hidden ailnts, he dared not practice too diligently, which is why he had only reached the early stage of visible power.
After chatting for half an hour, Ye Fan had sothing to say to Lu Chengqiang alone, so he found an excuse to temporarily send Shi Sheng away.
“Chengqiang, I have so bad news to tell you,” Ye Fan looked at Lu Chengqiang, “You need to brace yourself.”
Thump! Thump!
Lu Chengqiang imdiately patted his chest hard and said, “Boss, don’t worry, I won’t even frown if the sky falls!”
“Dragon Group has been disbanded,” Ye Fan’s expression showed faint sadness, and he spoke with a grave tone.
“What?” Lu Chengqiang laughed heartily twice and said, “Boss, that’s not a good joke.”
Ye Fan sighed and said, “It’s true.”
Lu Chengqiang’s smile imdiately froze, and after a while, with bloodshot eyes, he asked urgently, “Why? Boss, why is this happening?”
“Because the Dragon Group has already fulfilled its mission,” Ye Fan said. “You should understand the mission of the Dragon Group; this was bound to happen eventually.”
He couldn’t reveal the specific catalyst. After all, Lu Chengqiang had retired more than half a year ago, and matters concerning the Dragon Group were national secrets that naturally couldn’t be shared with him anymore.
Lu Chengqiang was speechless for a long ti, his tiger-like eyes filled with sadness and tears began to fall drop by drop.
Ye Fan stepped forward, placed his hand on Lu Chengqiang’s shoulder, and said, “However, rest assured, all the brothers have safely returned to the country and have found good situations for themselves. If you want to see them in the future, you can contact them without worrying too much.”
“Yes!” Lu Chengqiang nodded vigorously.
Ye Fan patted Lu Chengqiang’s shoulder again before walking out of the training room.
After Ye Fan left, Lu Chengqiang squatted down, suppressed his voice, and secretly cried.
For him, the Dragon Group held too many irrevocable attachnts. Hearing its sudden disbandnt felt like hearing that his own ho had been destroyed.
At four in the afternoon, Ye Fan was teaching Shi Sheng ancient martial arts in a training room. As for Lu Chengqiang, feeling depressed after learning the Dragon Group had disbanded, he had returned to the Heroic Bar.
While Ye Fan was still instructing Shi Sheng, suddenly there ca a rapid knocking at the door followed by a voice shouting, “Stinky brother-in-law, open the door! Stinky brother-in-law, open up!”
Hearing it was Mo Xiaoyan’s voice, Ye Fan was slightly surprised, wasn’t Mo Xiaoyan supposed to co back the day after tomorrow? Why did she suddenly return?
He collected himself and said to Shi Sheng, “Continue practicing diligently on your own; call if you have any questions.”
“Yes, Brother Ye,” Shi Sheng replied.
Next, Ye Fan turned around, a bitter smile on his face, and walked toward the door.
When the door opened, the still knocking jade hand nearly hit Ye Fan.
“Why so anxious? What happened?” Ye Fan frowned and asked Mo Xiaoyan.
Dressed in a sharp business suit, her hair pulled up high, Mo Xiaoyan indeed seed to emanate a strong, powerful woman’s vibe.
Mo Xiaoyan glared back at Ye Fan defiantly and huffed, “Calling you to open the door took half an age!”
Then, noticing Shi Sheng inside, she imdiately softened her deanor and called out, “Shi Sheng!”
“Hehe, Miss Mo, hello,” Shi Sheng responded politely.
Ye Fan walked out, closed the door behind him, and while walking toward Lu Xiaoman’s office, he asked Mo Xiaoyan who was following him, “Your sister said you would be back in Hua Hai City the day after tomorrow, how co you suddenly returned?”
“It’s because of you,” Mo Xiaoyan said. “Where have you disappeared to these past few months? You couldn’t even be reached by phone. Did you elope with so woman?!”
As they talked, they entered Lu Xiaoman’s office.
Lu Xiaoman, obviously having heard Mo Xiaoyan’s last remark, said with a slight frown, “Xiaoyan, don’t talk nonsense.”
She then stood up, walked out of the office, and sat down with Ye Fan and Mo Xiaoyan on the couch.
“Sister, you are just too naive,” Mo Xiaoyan said to Lu Xiaoman. “When a man disappears for several months, there’s definitely sothing wrong. We must clarify things and ensure it doesn’t happen again!”
Lu Xiaoman said seriously, “It’s not naivety; it’s trust. Let’s drop this matter and never bring it up again.”
Mo Xiaoyan wanted to say more, but seeing Lu Xiaoman’s serious expression, she reluctantly let it go.
However, she didn’t plan to drop the issue for good; she would ask privately. Her relationship with Ye Fan was more than just that of a sister-in-law to a brother-in-law.
Ye Fan’s disappearance for several months had given her a strong sense of insecurity.
