Ye Xingchen knew full well that he was no match for Fang Yu.

If Fang Yu wanted to harm him, there was no need for him to beat around the bush, he could have finished him off with one move. Gazing at the nail-sized Black Wood Lotus in the palm of his hand, the pungent smell of the medicine shocked his mind. In an instant, he quickly found a hidden corner and swallowed the Black Wood Lotus.

At the moment it entered his mouth, it was dry and distasteful.

When his Inner Strength was fully stimulated, the Black Wood Lotus in his mouth was instantly shattered by the Inner Strength and entered his belly!

His whole body felt like it was submerged in a rolling hot flow!

"Incredible!"

"Too incredible!"

Ye Xingchen kept exclaiming in admiration, he felt the skin on his cheeks that was destroyed showing signs of regeneration!

His heart immediately stirred up a storm.

How vast is the world, filled with all sorts of wonders.

What exactly is this thing? Could there really be such a thing as an Elixir?

Enduring the stimulating effect of the medicine, Ye Xingchen was so excited that he teared up.

Initially, in order to restore his face, he traveled everywhere, fatiguing both his mind and body. If it weren't for him holding onto hope, facing this ghastly appearance, he would have chosen suicide long ago!

"Fang Yu, you've helped me once! I will support you for a lifetime!"

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu arrived outside a high-end restaurant.

Looking up, he remarked, "Wow, quite the enjoyment choosing such an expensive place, not worrying about spending, huh?"

Having various experiences of being looked down upon, Fang Yu approached the front desk and said, "Lead the way, I am Ye Wenjun's husband."

Pfft!

The female waitress covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Mr. Fang, you don't need to stress that, your friend Mr. Chen Daotian has already instructed us to bring you over when we see you."

"Really? How peculiar," Fang Yu expressed doubtfully, wondering, "How do you recognize me?"

"Mr. Chen said, to bring in anyone who looks almost as unkempt as him!"

"..."

Fang Yu glared, "That son of a gun, backbiting me everywhere!"

Following the waitress, Fang Yu entered the VIP area.

"Brother Yu! Over here..." Chen Daotian stood up to greet.

Looking carefully, Ye Wenjun, Ye Xingkong, Zhong Long, Zhong Hu were all present, besides them, Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao were also there. He couldn't help but wonder why these two sisters were also here.

Fang Yu walked over, and just as he sat down, Ye Xingkong began:

"Ye Corporation has gained priority, thanks to everyone's support... and it also let me see the true colors of those opportunistic businessmen! I, Ye Xingkong, can't be bothered to associate with them, so I've prepared a table here to treat everyone... Hope you all don't mind."

As he spoke, Ye Xingkong looked towards Fang Yu, "Fang Yu, since you are friends with Miss Jiang, I invited you as well, you don't mind, right?"

"No, why would I mind?"

Jiang Wei held a cup of water, drinking by herself, showing an indifferent demeanor.

Jiang Xiaoxiao unabashedly asked, "Brother-in-law... when are you marrying my sister?!"

Pfft—

Chen Daotian just took a sip of water and spat it out.

Clearly, Jiang Xiaoxiao did it on purpose.

"Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense," Jiang Wei scolded.

The others just awkwardly nodded.

Fang Yu quickly changed the subject, "Guess who I just saw?"

"Who?" Chen Daotian asked.

Everyone looked at Fang Yu with a sense of mystery, becoming curious.

Fang Yu laughed a bit and replied, "Ye Xingchen!"

Smack—

The water glass in Ye Xingkong's hand fell to the ground.

He stared at Fang Yu in shock.

"Where is he? Is he still alive? How is he?" He asked consecutively.

Even Zhong Long and Zhong Hu were extremely surprised.

Fang Yu indifferently said, "After all, he's a tyrant, I was afraid he would compete with me for the Ye Family's inheritance, so I killed him!"

"..."

Silence fell over the entire room.

Everyone looked at Fang Yu in disbelief.

This...

How is that possible?

Even Chen Daotian couldn't believe it. Although Fang Yu had killed countless people, each life had its reasons. Since joining the Dark Web, they had abided by this rule. There was no reason to kill without cause.

Fang Yu couldn't possibly do that.

Ye Xingkong's eyes were bloodshot, visibly agitated.

After a long silence, Ye Wenjun finally spoke, asking, "Why?"

"You guys got scared... He wanted you to think he was dead! He's probably not in a position to show himself right now. I've already promised him to keep it a secret. Moreover, he has been tracking you these past few days! Since you noticed, why didn't you tell me?"

"..." Ye Wenjun was stunned.

The others heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Chen Daotian rolled his eyes, saying, "Damn, Yu bro, you just betrayed him like that."

"Did I?" Fang Yu retorted with a glare.

"No, not at all! I didn't hear anything!" Chen Daotian pretended to be oblivious like an idiot.

...

Fang Yu looked at Ye Xingkong and said, "You father and son really cause a lot of trouble..."

"Hmm?"

"To save you, I wasted quite a few Black Wood Lotuses," Fang Yu said painfully.

"Black, Wood Lotus?"

Zhong Long whispered on the side, "It's a very rare medicinal item. Someone once posted a task about Black Wood Lotus on the reward list, with a rank of SSS!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingkong was shocked.

Such a precious item, and yet Fang Yu was generous enough to use it for them.

Ye Xingkong coughed and said, "Wenjun, make sure to compensate Fang Yu well later. We can't let him suffer a loss for such a valuable item."

Ye Wenjun softly replied, "Yes."

"You have some conscience..." Fang Yu tilted his head and whispered into Ye Wenjun's ear, "Remember to wash it clean—"

Being an untouched maiden, she had never been teased like this before, her pretty face immediately blushing, red hot from embarrassment.

Crack.

A clear sound came from nearby.

Fang Yu turned his head and said discontentedly, "Xiaoxiao, how many times have I told you not to bite your chopsticks! Even a rich hotel can't withstand that kind of damage!"

"..."

Watching him deal with the situation smoothly, Chen Daotian was utterly impressed.

The food was also served at this moment.

After eating for a while, Jiang Wei put down her utensils and said, "Thank you, President Ye, for the hospitality. I have other matters, so I'll leave first."

With that, she stood up, "Xiaoxiao, let's go."

Ye Xingkong frowned and said, "Miss Jiang, in such a hurry to leave? Stay a bit longer?"

"No thanks."

Jiang Wei turned and left emotionlessly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao somewhat mystifyingly hummed at Fang Yu, then followed Jiang Wei.

Seeing their departure, even the most open-minded woman would start to have thoughts.

But—

Ye Wenjun's expression remained calm, looking at Fang Yu with great understanding and said, "Go ahead."

"Go... go where?" Fang Yu was puzzled.

"I can tell that Sister Jiang Wei seems unhappy, it must have something to do with you. Go on…" Ye Wenjun said softly.

"This... this isn't really appropriate, is it?" Fang Yu shrugged helplessly.

Ye Xingkong coughed and said, "If it's inconvenient, then don't go..."

"It's convenient, why wouldn't it be, I'll go check it out right now..." saying this, Fang Yu turned and left, chasing after Jiang Wei.

"..."

The Ye family members were all dumbstruck.

As Fang Yu left the restaurant, Ye Xingkong reproached with a serious face, "Wenjun! What am I to say about you!"

Ye Wenjun remained silent, staring at the empty seats, her thoughts unknown.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Yu isn't that type of person!" Chen Daotian tried to explain, "Can't help it, Brother Yu is too outstanding, it's normal for women to keep him in mind… ah, I didn't mean that, don't look at me like that..."
