Hei Pi, with a heavy heart, ca to report to Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Gui.
Seeing Hei Pi’s expression, Zhao Zhongtian knew sothing had happened.
Zhao Gui’s heart trembled even more; with Hei Pi’s steadiness and ability, he shouldn’t show such a heavy expression.
"What’s going on?" Zhao Zhongtian asked carefully, narrowing his eyes.
"Sothing big happened," Hei Pi said, conflicted between laughter and tears.
"Failed the kidnapping?" Zhao Gui interjected, "Even if it failed, it shouldn’t be sothing so big. What could be so major to make you look so grim? This isn’t an expression that a failed kidnapping should cause."
"Unintentionally provoked a big figure." Hei Pi said gravely.
"Who?" Zhao Zhongtian frowned deeply.
"Ye Fan, Lord Ye!" Hei Pi said with a bitter smile.
"How is that possible?" Zhao Gui exclaid in shock, "How did you manage to provoke this taboo figure?"
"Tell us, what exactly happened?" Zhao Zhongtian couldn’t remain calm.
Hei Pi recounted the events.
"Jian Tao and her daughter are so lucky to have ended up across from Lord Ye, becoming neighbors," Zhao Zhongtian said helplessly. "Lord Ye is a taboo existence, and that title was given to him by the underworld factions in private. Never thought it would beco like this."
"The three who barged into Lord Ye’s forbidden territory committed serious misdeeds. It’s a tricky situation; if the Ye Gang doesn’t pursue the matter, that’s fine, but if they do, it will be endless trouble." Zhao Gui naturally understood the peril of this situation.
The villa where Ye Fan and ngyao resided was called a forbidden zone not by Ye Fan or ngyao but by others. No one had ever dared to provoke Ye Fan, and thus it had beco such a situation.
"How’s the aftermath being handled?" Zhao Zhongtian asked.
"The three have already gone into hiding; they shouldn’t be found. I instructed them to stay hidden and avoid contacting anyone," Hei Pi replied.
"You’re always ticulous and careful in your work; I feel at ease," Zhao Zhongtian said. "We’ll pretend nothing happened; we mustn’t have any connections with this matter. Especially the three, they mustn’t have any contact with us anymore. Even if sothing happens, it mustn’t implicate us."
"That’s all we can do and hope to get through this crisis." Hei Pi prayed in his heart.
"Lord Ye has a resounding na in the underworld, and everyone knows the might of the Terminator. He has just destroyed the Deceitful Fox and Sky Net, and he’s at his peak. No big figure dares to provoke the Terminator. For those factions, the Terminator is a terrifying existence. In Dongfang City, Lord Ye’s na is even more prominent; any sign of movent can’t escape the eyes of the Ye Gang. We must be increasingly careful; we can’t afford to fail at this point." Zhao Zhongtian said with seriousness.
"Those wretched won, to have such luck." Zhao Gui said indifferently, suddenly entangled with an unapproachable existence. He was also feeling uneasy and naturally didn’t show a good face towards Jian Tao and her daughter.
"I guess that Lord Ye intervened out of justice to save the target and won’t eradicate us completely," Hei Pi had his own thoughts and ideas, "As long as we steer clear of Lord Ye in the future, it will be fine."
"Arrange suitable and reliable people to monitor Jian Tao and her daughter’s every move; we can only wait for another opportunity," Zhao Zhongtian instructed.
...
In the midst of this turmoil, Jian Tao and Zhao Ruixi, the two directly involved, couldn’t possibly imagine the outside turbulence.
The security at their residence was significantly enhanced, with the number of bodyguards on the surface increasing from two to four, and a few more hidden, known only to Yu Weidong, who obeyed Zhao Feipeng’s orders.
After much contemplation, Jian Tao decided to invite Ye Fan for a al to express gratitude for saving her daughter. Of course, there was another purpose as well—to get closer to Ye Fan.
This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifeti chance that Jian Tao had to seize.
"Xixi, shall we go thank Uncle Ye Fan together?" Jian Tao asked her daughter, "Let’s invite Uncle for a al to express our gratitude. What do you say?"
"Okay," Zhao Ruixi tilted her head, "But can having a al really count as gratitude? I want to give Uncle my favorite toy."
"Toys are for kids; to thank an adult, we go for a al," Jian Tao patiently explained.
"Alright, I’ll listen to Mom," Zhao Ruixi nodded obediently.
Jian Tao took her daughter to visit Ye Fan and ngyao for the second ti. ngyao was working, while Ye Fan ca out to et them.
"Uncle, Uncle, hug!" Zhao Ruixi, not shy at all, ran towards Ye Fan.
Besides Ye Fan saving her, giving Xixi a full sense of security, by Xixi’s account, Ye Fan slled like her dad, naturally drawing her close to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled warmly and picked Xixi up.
"Hello, Mr. Ye," Jian Tao nodded slightly, smiling, "Where’s President Chu? Why isn’t she here?"
"She’s working," Ye Fan answered. "Are you looking for her? Should I call her?"
"No, no, we won’t disturb President Chu. It’s fine to speak with you," Jian Tao sincerely said. "First, I wanted to thank Mr. Ye greatly; if it weren’t for you scaring away the thugs in ti, my Xixi would be in big trouble. This great kindness is unforgettable and forever in my heart."
"You’re too kind, Miss Jian. Just doing what’s right; I didn’t do much," Ye Fan replied politely.
"Mr. Ye is so humble," Jian Tao earnestly said. "I ca today mainly to apologize. When I saw you holding Xixi, I almost misunderstood you. My attitude wasn’t good; I hope you’ll forgive ."
"It’s natural to be protective of one’s child; no harm done," Ye Fan said lightly. Since Jian Tao realized her misunderstanding and had co to apologize, regardless of her intentions, this attitude showed she wasn’t beyond saving, which eased his mind.
"To convey my apologies and gratitude, I wish to invite Mr. Ye and President Chu for a al. Please don’t decline; I insist," Jian Tao sincerely expressed.
"This?" Ye Fan was a bit embarrassed; he was planning to cook for ngyao when he received this invitation, making him hesitant.
"Uncle, Uncle, co have dinner with us, please," Xixi called out.
Ye Fan hesitated for a mont before saying, "Alright!"
Since he couldn’t avoid Jian Tao, he might as well face it head-on.
To see what Jian Tao would ultimately do.
"Mr. Ye, Xixi and I will wait for you outside. Don’t forget to bring President Chu along," Jian Tao said, taking Xixi from Ye Fan’s arms.
"Okay!" Ye Fan agreed.
