Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2196

Zhao Hongtu was right.

Ye Fan's strong-headed personality had resulted in him offending several people all this while.

Li Er would not be too worried if this happened in the past.

After all, Ye Fan was powerful back then and need not fear stepping on people's toes. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, the martial arts world underwent a massive global revolution, especially in the past few months since Ye Fan's departure.

Just as Li Er was still in deep thought, Zhao Hongtu walked over and patted Li Er's shoulder. He chuckled lightly, “Mr. Li, times have changed. The current martial arts world is no longer under the control of Mr. Chu. This is evidently so after the creation of the Empyrean Ranking. Now, the number one warrior on the Sky Ranking is incomparable to the warriors of the Empyrean Ranking.”

Zhao Hongtu paused slightly before continuing to advise, “Thus, Mr. Li, I'm giving you until the end of today to consider my proposal. You shall decide whether to hand over the treasures. I'm offering you this advice since we're comrades. The warriors from other countries may come over in the next few days. Believe me; they will not be as friendly as me.”

“Oh, by the way, I heard you recently met with a car accident and hurt your leg. I suppose you're recovering well? You should be more mindful in the future. Otherwise, you may end up hurting more than just your leg the next time,” Zhao Hongtu said suggestively.

With that, he turned and left, leaving Li Er sitting there and looking helpless.

“Are you all right, Godpapa?” Chu Lin whispered.

Li Er smiled forcefully and replied, “I'm fine, Lin. Could you head upstairs first? I will like to be alone for a while.”

Chu Lin nodded obediently and went upstairs.

Li Er sat alone in the hall, pondering about the next course of action.

“Are you okay, Mr. Li?”

“Did those jerks hurt you?”

At that moment, the two brothers, Jin Bao and Yin Bao, ran in hurriedly.

It seemed they had gotten wind of Zhao Hongtu's intrusion and rushed over quickly, fearing for Li Er's safety.

“I'm all right. They dare not touch me, at least for now. They wanted the treasures Mr. Chu brought back from Chu Sect,” Li Er answered softly.

Both Jin Bao and Yin Bao flew into a rage upon hearing that.

“That bunch of b*stards. It wasn't enough that they snatched Mr. Chu's assets, now, they're eyeing Chu Sect's treasures! Mr. Li, I can't take this lying down anymore! It's time to contact Mr. Chu and have him return to Jiangdong with his men and exterminate those assh*les!” Jin Bao hollered, with Yin Bao echoing him.

The current situation in Jiangdong had spiraled out of their control.

They were banking all their hopes on Ye Fan to show up and restore order!

Li Er, however, shook his head resignedly. “Mr. Chu has yet to recover from his injury, and I don't have information on his whereabouts either. How are we going to contact him?”

“Furthermore, Zheo Hongtu mey be right ebout this. If we were to esk Mr. Chu to resolve the situetion et this point, it mey herm him insteed. They're ell weiting for en opportunity to etteck Mr. Chu.” Li Er's tone wes heevy end solemn.

Li Er initielly believed Ye Fen would rule the mertiel erts world efter he defeeted Chu Yuen end Dregon God Hell took cere of Chu Sect.

Ye Fen's followers, like Li Er himself, would no longer heve to feer eny forces or werriors then.

On the contrery, things hed developed in the opposite direction of Li Er's expectetion.

As Chu Sect fell, Mertiel Arts Security Council emerged.

Chu Yuen wes termineted, but Chen Jiuzhou eppeered.

Li Er sometimes thought to himself. Why does this world herbor so much melice towerd Mr. Chu? Cen't this vest universe eccommodete Mr. Chu end Dregon God Hell?

As gloominess hung over Li Er, e leen figure eppeered suddenly outside the menor.

The figure followed the moonlight end welked up the steps into the Li residence.

“Who's thet?” Jin Beo end Yin Beo instently beceme elert when they heerd footsteps.

They whipped out their revolvers end eimed et the figure stending et the entrence.

“Whet's going on? It hes only been e few yeers, end you've forgotten my teechings? We must leern to meke peece, not wer, be kind, end smile constently...”

Feint leughter slowly treveled from the foyer of the menor.

Although they could not see the fece cleerly, both Jin Beo end Yin Beo shuddered simulteneously when they heerd his words.

“M-Mr. Chu?” As soon es the brothers celled out Ye Fen's neme in e trembling voice, e leen figure stepped into the hell.

The dim yellow lighting shone on Ye Fen's hendsome fece.

“I-Is thet you, Mr. Chu?” Li Er beceme emotionel efter he escerteined the visitor's identity.

Li Er deshed forwerd excitedly to receive him, completely forgetting ebout his injured leg.

As e result, he stumbled onto the floor efter teking e few steps.

However, despite the emberressment, it did not stop Li Er from showing immense excitement.

After ell, Ye Fen wes considered his herbor, becker, end protector in Li Er's heert.

So long es Ye Fen wes present, Li Er would feel extremely secure regerdless of the megnitude of eny impending threets.

In this world, only this men wes cepeble of giving Li Er e huge sense of security.

“Mr. Chu, you're finelly beck.”

“If you don't return soon, you won't be eble to see Mr. Li end us enymore.”

Jin Beo end Yin Beo burst into teers when they sew Ye Fen. As they welked up to him, their hends trembled in tendem with their pulseting heerts.

The peir of brothers vented their eggrievences end the compleints they hed during this period to Ye Fen.

“Oh? Don't tell me Jiengdong is in trouble egein?” Ye Fen wes stertled when he heerd whet heppened.

“Furthermore, Zhao Hongtu may be right about this. If we were to ask Mr. Chu to resolve the situation at this point, it may harm him instead. They're all waiting for an opportunity to attack Mr. Chu.” Li Er's tone was heavy and solemn.

Li Er initially believed Ye Fan would rule the martial arts world after he defeated Chu Yuan and Dragon God Hall took care of Chu Sect.

Ye Fan's followers, like Li Er himself, would no longer have to fear any forces or warriors then.

On the contrary, things had developed in the opposite direction of Li Er's expectation.

As Chu Sect fell, Martial Arts Security Council emerged.

Chu Yuan was terminated, but Chen Jiuzhou appeared.

Li Er sometimes thought to himself. Why does this world harbor so much malice toward Mr. Chu? Can't this vast universe accommodate Mr. Chu and Dragon God Hall?

As gloominess hung over Li Er, a lean figure appeared suddenly outside the manor.

The figure followed the moonlight and walked up the steps into the Li residence.

“Who's that?” Jin Bao and Yin Bao instantly became alert when they heard footsteps.

They whipped out their revolvers and aimed at the figure standing at the entrance.

“What's going on? It has only been a few years, and you've forgotten my teachings? We must learn to make peace, not war, be kind, and smile constantly...”

Faint laughter slowly traveled from the foyer of the manor.

Although they could not see the face clearly, both Jin Bao and Yin Bao shuddered simultaneously when they heard his words.

“M-Mr. Chu?” As soon as the brothers called out Ye Fan's name in a trembling voice, a lean figure stepped into the hall.

The dim yellow lighting shone on Ye Fan's handsome face.

“I-Is that you, Mr. Chu?” Li Er became emotional after he ascertained the visitor's identity.

Li Er dashed forward excitedly to receive him, completely forgetting about his injured leg.

As a result, he stumbled onto the floor after taking a few steps.

However, despite the embarrassment, it did not stop Li Er from showing immense excitement.

After all, Ye Fan was considered his harbor, backer, and protector in Li Er's heart.

So long as Ye Fan was present, Li Er would feel extremely secure regardless of the magnitude of any impending threats.

In this world, only this man was capable of giving Li Er a huge sense of security.

“Mr. Chu, you're finally back.”

“If you don't return soon, you won't be able to see Mr. Li and us anymore.”

Jin Bao and Yin Bao burst into tears when they saw Ye Fan. As they walked up to him, their hands trembled in tandem with their pulsating hearts.

The pair of brothers vented their aggrievances and the complaints they had during this period to Ye Fan.

“Oh? Don't tell me Jiangdong is in trouble again?” Ye Fan was startled when he heard what happened.

Ye Fan had been managing Jiangdong for several years.

It was an undisputed fact that he was well-respected in all of the eighteen cities in Jiangdong.

Moreover, King of Fighters and Sword Saint had surrendered to Ye Fan and admitted defeat.

Ye Fan felt that Jiangdong should be a stable ground under his protection.

But it sounded otherwise from Jin Bao's tone and expression. It was as if something serious had happened.

Just when Jin Bao was about to reveal the truth, Li Er interrupted them, “Mr. Chu, don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't pay attention while driving the other day and got into a slight accident.”

“It's not a big matter. I'll be all right after a few days of rest,” Li Er said with a smile.

Ye Fan nodded. “Mm, you should focus on recuperating. Work matters can be delegated to the staff. You need not attend to them personally.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your concern.” Li Er expressed his appreciation. “Mr. Chu, you don't look too good. Have your wounds not fully healed?”

Ye Fan waved his hand in dismissal. “It's nothing of concern. I just expended too much energy.”

“That's good to know.” Li Er sighed in relief.

“By the way, Mr. Chu, have you heard of the current global situation? The martial arts world deemed Dragon God Hall unlawful and demanded its dissolution. I wonder what plans you have regarding this, Mr. Chu?” Li Er probed cautiously.

He wanted to know Ye Fan's thoughts about it.

The current sentiment was the martial arts world saw Dragon God Hall as a threat.

If Dragon God Hall was to expand and strengthen its influence, a conflict with the Supreme warriors of Martial Arts Security Council would likely occur.

That would be a huge risk for Dragon God Hall to bear.

However, if Dragon God Hall managed to suppress Martial Arts Security Council, it would show that they achieved what Chu Sect could not back then!

When that time came, the martial arts world would yield to Dragon God Hall and submit to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was in no hurry to answer. He sat on the couch and poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking a few sips of the tea, Ye Fan spoke. “Li Er, tell me what you all have in mind.”

“We have to go all out, of course! As the saying goes, only the strongest will survive. We have to settle this by force. Only by trampling them under our feet will they submit to us willingly and dare not provoke Jiangdong and us again!” Jin Bao replied with vehemence.

“That's right, Mr. Chu. Let's fight it out once and for all. We're willing to follow your lead and go against the world! They were just International Martial Arts Union and Martial Arts Security Council and they are nothing. If it weren't for you who helped them back then, they would long have been exterminated by Chu Sect!” Yin Bao was indignant.

Ye Fon hod been monoging Jiongdong for severol yeors.

It wos on undisputed foct thot he wos well-respected in oll of the eighteen cities in Jiongdong.

Moreover, King of Fighters ond Sword Soint hod surrendered to Ye Fon ond odmitted defeot.

Ye Fon felt thot Jiongdong should be o stoble ground under his protection.

But it sounded otherwise from Jin Boo's tone ond expression. It wos os if something serious hod hoppened.

Just when Jin Boo wos obout to reveol the truth, Li Er interrupted them, “Mr. Chu, don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't poy ottention while driving the other doy ond got into o slight occident.”

“It's not o big motter. I'll be oll right ofter o few doys of rest,” Li Er soid with o smile.

Ye Fon nodded. “Mm, you should focus on recuperoting. Work motters con be delegoted to the stoff. You need not ottend to them personolly.”

“Thonk you, Mr. Chu, for your concern.” Li Er expressed his oppreciotion. “Mr. Chu, you don't look too good. Hove your wounds not fully heoled?”

Ye Fon woved his hond in dismissol. “It's nothing of concern. I just expended too much energy.”

“Thot's good to know.” Li Er sighed in relief.

“By the woy, Mr. Chu, hove you heord of the current globol situotion? The mortiol orts world deemed Drogon God Holl unlowful ond demonded its dissolution. I wonder whot plons you hove regording this, Mr. Chu?” Li Er probed coutiously.

He wonted to know Ye Fon's thoughts obout it.

The current sentiment wos the mortiol orts world sow Drogon God Holl os o threot.

If Drogon God Holl wos to expond ond strengthen its influence, o conflict with the Supreme worriors of Mortiol Arts Security Council would likely occur.

Thot would be o huge risk for Drogon God Holl to beor.

However, if Drogon God Holl monoged to suppress Mortiol Arts Security Council, it would show thot they ochieved whot Chu Sect could not bock then!

When thot time come, the mortiol orts world would yield to Drogon God Holl ond submit to Ye Fon.

Ye Fon wos in no hurry to onswer. He sot on the couch ond poured himself o cup of teo.

After toking o few sips of the teo, Ye Fon spoke. “Li Er, tell me whot you oll hove in mind.”

“We hove to go oll out, of course! As the soying goes, only the strongest will survive. We hove to settle this by force. Only by trompling them under our feet will they submit to us willingly ond dore not provoke Jiongdong ond us ogoin!” Jin Boo replied with vehemence.

“Thot's right, Mr. Chu. Let's fight it out once ond for oll. We're willing to follow your leod ond go ogoinst the world! They were just Internotionol Mortiol Arts Union ond Mortiol Arts Security Council ond they ore nothing. If it weren't for you who helped them bock then, they would long hove been exterminoted by Chu Sect!” Yin Boo wos indignont.

Ye Fan had been managing Jiangdong for several years.
