"Sir, welcome, your arrival truly brings great honor to the Qin family!"
Qin Tian was so excited about Chu Fan's arrival that he wanted to roar to the heavens.
As for Wang Yangyan, he had already stood several feet behind, his expression grim.
Before meeting Chu Fan, he had secretly thought that he must make good friends with the esteemed guest that Qin Tian spoke of.
He had even rehearsed what he would say in his mind.
He never imagined that the esteemed guest Qin Tian mentioned would be Chu Fan, the very person he was here to deal with.
At the same time, Wang Yangyan also knew why Chu Fan had come to the Qin family.
It was 100% to find him.
Qin Tian, whose excitement had momentarily subsided, remembered Wang Yangyan and said happily, "Sir, allow me to introduce a friend of mine, he..."
"No need for introductions!"
Chu Fan directly interrupted Qin Tian.
Seeing that Chu Fan was staring at Wang Yangyan, Qin Tian asked curiously, "Sir, do you know Brother Wang?"
Chu Fan's lips curved slightly, and he said indifferently, "No, and there's no need to. However, I'm here today specifically to find him!"
Qin Tian's brow furrowed, as Chu Fan's words sounded a bit off, though he couldn't quite pinpoint what was wrong.
Before Qin Tian could ask, Chu Fan had already walked towards Wang Yangyan.
If he had encountered Chu Fan elsewhere, Wang Yangyan would have already made a move. However, based on Qin Tian's previous description, he knew that Chu Fan was by no means someone he could contend with, and he began to retreat.
Qin Tian, utterly bewildered by the situation, suddenly realized that Chu Fan's sudden visit to the Qin family wasn't to see him. If Chu Fan had wanted to see him, a phone call would have sufficed, and he would have rushed over obediently; there would be no need for him to come in person. Coming in person meant he was looking for Wang Yangyan.
"Sir, is... is there some misunderstanding?"
Qin Tian quickly caught up to Chu Fan, wanting to understand if his visit today was to find Wang Yangyan. As Wang Yangyan's long-time friend, Qin Tian knew that if a fight broke out, his friend would surely die.
Chu Fan paused for a moment: "No misunderstanding. You can ask him what he did before he came to your place!"
Having completely confirmed that Chu Fan intended to deal with Wang Yangyan, Qin Tian urgently asked Wang Yangyan, "Brother, what were you doing before?"
Wang Yangyan managed a wry smile.
"Brother, what did you do? Say something!"
Qin Tian urged him anxiously, implying that if he didn't speak and he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, he couldn't help.
"He took people to find my aunt, intending to kidnap her!"
"It's because someone from their Longhu Hall targeted my aunt's company before, and I dealt with them at their doorstep. They want revenge and to kill me!"
It's over!
Upon learning the reason, Qin Tian felt a sense of powerlessness. If it were just a verbal dispute, he might have been able to beg Chu Fan to resolve the conflict. The Longhu Hall had erred first, yet instead of acknowledging their mistake, they continued to plot and harm Chu Fan's loved ones. In such a situation, even he wouldn't be able to forgive.
However, thinking of his close relationship with Wang Yangyan, Qin Tian still spoke up in a struggle, "Sir, Brother Wang is not the leader of the Longhu Hall. His actions were clearly at someone else's command. Could you..."
"You want to intercede for him?"
Under Chu Fan's icy gaze, Qin Tian felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His face turned ashen, and he dared not say another word.
Wang Yangyan was, after all, a rather straightforward person. He didn't want Qin Tian to be put in a difficult position. Taking a deep breath, he said with a firm tone, "Brother Qin, I'll take responsibility for my actions. I was in the wrong first, and you don't need to get involved."
Afterward, he stepped forward a few paces and said to Chu Fan, "I'll take responsibility for my actions. This has nothing to do with Brother Qin. You're looking for me, so let's go outside!"
Knowing that he couldn't escape death today, Wang Yangyan was prepared to personally see if Chu Fan was truly as formidable as Qin Tian had described. Chu Fan turned and walked outside. Seeing this, Qin Tian quickly followed, his mind racing as he searched for a way to prevent this.
In the open space outside, Wang Yangyan rolled up his sleeves, assumed a fighting stance, and shouted, "Come on!"
Whoosh...
As soon as the wind began to stir, Wang Yangyan was sent flying, crashing heavily against a car.
Qin Tian's mouth hung open, completely stunned. Witnessing Chu Fan's move firsthand, he realized he had underestimated him before. Chu Fan's strength was even greater than he had imagined. A dignified Grandmaster was so easily defeated before Chu Fan. This was unprecedented in his life.
"Cough..."
Wang Yangyan coughed up blood and got up, walking step by step to a spot six or seven meters away from Chu Fan.
"You are very strong!"
"I, Wang Yangyan, have no regrets dying at your hands!"
With that, Wang Yangyan closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death. With just one move, he had seen the gap between himself and Chu Fan. Any struggle was futile; it was better to face death squarely.
"Sir..."
Qin Tian couldn't help but speak. Despite knowing that doing so might anger Chu Fan, he still found it unbearable to watch his friend being killed. Chu Fan ignored Qin Tian's concern and walked up to Wang Yangyan.
"Remember, your life belongs to me!"
"When I need you, you will stand out for me!"
Wang Yangyan's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, his expression complex. Qin Tian was initially taken aback, then filled with joy, knowing that Brother Wang's life had been saved today.
"Why?"
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Wang Yangyan asked loudly. The feeling of being disregarded by Chu Fan, whose ownership he was now under, felt worse than being killed. After all, he was a Grandmaster.
Chu Fan did not respond to Wang Yangyan and walked directly towards the car. Qin Tian, with a face full of joy, approached Wang Yangyan and, seeing him about to speak again, quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"My dear brother, isn't it good to be alive? Why do you need so many 'whys'? Stop talking."
Seeing Chu Fan's car drive away, Qin Tian finally released his hand and helped Wang Yangyan into the Qin family residence to recuperate.
"Brother Qin, why didn't he kill me?"
Wang Yangyan asked, unresigned. Qin Tian was speechless: "Brother, when an esteemed sir acts, he naturally has his own considerations. It's also because the sir thinks highly of you that he spared your life. Isn't the current outcome good? Your life is saved, and the conflict is resolved!"
Wang Yangyan fell silent.
"However, he is truly powerful!"
Despite his defeat at Chu Fan's hands, Wang Yangyan had to admit that Chu Fan truly had the right to disdain him. To be so strong at such a young age. With such strength, he was at least a Half-step Grandmaster, wasn't he?
On the other side, Chu Fan did not return to the Shan Hai Pavilion. He went to Tian Fan Pharmaceutical to first check if his aunt was frightened, and second, to inform her that she no longer needed to worry, as the trouble had been resolved. As for not taking Wang Yangyan's life, it was purely a spontaneous decision. On one hand, Wang Yangyan was a man. Knowing he was no match for Chu Fan, he still dared to confront him directly, unlike others who, upon realizing they were about to die, would only beg for mercy. Chu Fan despised such people the most. Secondly, his foundation as a Grandmaster was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stand up after taking one of Chu Fan's moves. Keeping him around might be useful later. Even if he couldn't help Chu Fan directly, protecting his aunt or other loved ones would not be too difficult.
"Hmm?"
Arriving at the bottom of the Tian Fan Pharmaceutical building and just getting out of the car, Chu Fan frowned.
