The Jiang Army and the Guard Team were all stunned by Ye Fan's move.

What's going on here?

Today's situation had some variables. The original plan was for the Jiang Army to directly call Ye Fan over and threaten him with an exorbitant demand.

But unexpectedly, Ye Fan came in with Zhao Xiaoman, which made the Jiang Army a bit more cautious.

After all, Zhao Xiaoman's Dark Night Rose strength was still above his own, and he wanted to understand the relationship between Zhao Xiaoman and Ye Fan.

However, after coming in, the two parted ways, without any further interaction.

This made the Jiang Army think that their relationship should be just ordinary, and Zhao Xiaoman probably wouldn't intervene for Ye Fan.

He originally wanted to find a moment to call Ye Fan over, but unexpectedly, he sat with Lawson again.

This raised even more concerns for the Jiang Army.

If it was just Zhao Xiaoman, he wouldn't be particularly worried, but Lawson was different.

He was the strongest in the entire Heavy Truck Corps' Adventurer Squad, reportedly comparable in strength to the leader of the Heavy Truck Corps, Mu Haiyang.

Moreover, Lawson's straightforward and fiery temper made him the one the Jiang Army dared not offend the most.

The two of them stayed there eating and drinking for half a day, making the Jiang Army feel that things couldn't be negotiated so simply.

He had to find someone to support his stance.

So, he called over his good friend, the Captain of the Guard Team, hoping to give Ye Fan some pressure.

The intention was to tell Ye Fan not to be too arrogant, as he also had powerful people on his side.

But he no longer wanted to make an exorbitant demand, as long as Ye Fan could symbolically lower his head and offer some compensation, it would be considered resolved.

He understood some negotiation tactics, and not offering Ye Fan a seat upon entry was a way of applying pressure.

But Ye Fan's reaction was completely unexpected.

Upon entering, he went straight to bed!

And he brought a girl with him, this behavior of completely ignoring him made the anger in Jiang Army's heart hard to contain.

With a sinister voice, he said to Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, you're a bit too arrogant, aren't you?"

Ye Fan took another drag of his cigarette, "Arrogant? I really don't think so, but it's you, not even preparing a seat for me upon entry, wanting me to lower my head to talk to you? I can't do it."

Jiang Army's temple vein twitched twice, "Don't think that just because you know Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman, you can ignore me. Wherever this matter goes, it's your men who took action first, I'm on the side of reason."

"Put away your crooked logic, if it weren't for your men deliberately preventing mine from doing business, would my men have taken action? Besides, let me say something off-topic, so many of your people came with guns, yet my one subordinate beat them to a pulp barehanded. If it were me, I'd definitely shrink back and stay silent. Yet you're still brazenly asking me for an explanation, I've never seen anyone so thick-skinned."

"You... are bullying too much!"

Jiang Army slammed the table and stood up, and the people behind him reached into their coats, appearing ready to shoot at any moment.

Ye Fan didn't move at all, his cape still draped over him, it's no big deal even if shots were fired.

Besides, when it comes to shooting, he and Zhuge Yunxue really weren't afraid of anyone.

At that moment, the Captain of the Guard Team came out to mediate.

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone calm down, calm down, this matter isn't that big, everyone can completely turn hostility into friendship. In my opinion, why not do this: Captain Jiang, state your terms, let Captain Ye see if he can agree to them."

Jiang Army, having an out, snorted coldly and sat back down, then took out a piece of paper.

Someone went over and handed it to Ye Fan.

"Look at the terms I stated, as long as you agree, your people can be released from prison."

Ye Fan took it and saw two conditions written on it.

One was for Ye Fan to make a public apology.

The other was for the Dawn Squad to compensate Half Sky Cloud's medical expenses for the injured.

The money wasn't much, just a few kilograms of gold.

There was a big difference from what Ye Fan initially thought, it seemed Zhao Xiaoman and Lawson's actions just now made him wary.

Ye Fan smiled, "The conditions really aren't harsh."

The Captain of the Guard Team hurriedly said, "Not harsh, right? Most people can accept them."

Ye Fan smiled and looked at the two of them, "Really? I don't quite believe anyone has such a broad mind. Captain Jiang, if it were you, would you accept these terms?"

Jiang Army snorted coldly, "Of course, my mind is beyond your imagination."

"Alright then, with these terms, I propose them to you, will you accept?"

With that, Ye Fan took a pen from the bedside and changed his name to Jiang Army's name.

He also changed the compensation by the Dawn Squad to compensation by the Half-Day Cloud Squad.

Only, Shen Ruihui wasn't injured, so the compensation turned into compensation for mental distress.

Because Shen Ruihui was detained, frightened, needed a bit of gold to calm down.

After making the changes, Ye Fan handed the paper back.

"Now it's time for Captain Jiang to show your broad mind."

Jiang Army was stunned for a moment, then his face turned somewhat dark.

He was about to lose his temper.

It had always been Half Sky Cloud's people extorting others, when did it become someone else's turn to extort him?

Even with Zhao Xiaoman and Lawson backing him, Ye Fan was just too arrogant.

He snarled through clenched teeth, "It seems Captain Ye has no sincerity in negotiating."

Ye Fan also retorted coldly, "I've already shown a lot of sincerity. If it weren't for some reasons, you wouldn't even have the right to speak in front of me."

Jiang Army's finger trembled as he pointed at Ye Fan, then turned to the Guard Captain and said, "Captain Wang, you heard that, right? It's not that I'm not giving Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman face, but this guy named Ye is just ungrateful! With someone like him, do I still need to be courteous?"

Captain Wang's face was also dark: "Captain Ye, if you don't cooperate like this, your subordinate will be sentenced to a serious crime. I'll have him locked in prison for life. Of course, that life might not last more than a month because he might die of an accident."

This was a direct threat; the other party couldn't hold back any longer.

Ye Fan sat up straight and tore up the paper: "Since you guys won't agree, then I don't need to show you any respect. There's no need to discuss this matter. If anything happens to my subordinate, none of us will have a good time!"

After saying that, Ye Fan stood up and left the room with Zhuge Yunxue.

Back on the first floor, Ye Fan saw Zhao Xiaoman again.

Lawson was saying something to Zhao Xiaoman on the side, and at this moment, Ye Fan understood why Lawson suddenly sat beside him.

It was arranged by Zhao Xiaoman; their relationship seemed to be quite good.

Ye Fan smiled at Zhao Xiaoman and the two of them came over.

Zhao Xiaoman looked into Ye Fan's eyes: "Through your eyes, I feel like this negotiation didn't go well because I sense a killing aura from you."

Lawson frowned slightly, "Is Jiang Army really that uncooperative?"

Ye Fan smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that they wouldn't agree to my demands, wouldn't apologize to us, nor would they compensate for my subordinate's mental loss, so I can only solve the problem my way."

Ye Fan's reaction somewhat surprised the two, as they couldn't imagine he dared to demand an apology from the other party.

No wonder the negotiations fell through; it would have been strange if they succeeded.

However, Ye Fan was still quite grateful to Zhao Xiaoman and Lawson. Many people's hearts had been corrupted in the apocalyptic world, so it was rare for these two to still have a conscience.

"Thank you, little girl, thank you, Lawson, I will take my leave now."

Zhao Xiaoman waved goodbye to Ye Fan.

When Lawson waved goodbye, he shouted, "If you run into any trouble, come find me. Next time, remember to call me Giant Stone Lawson!"

Ye Fan nodded with a smile and then left with Zhuge Yunxue.

The main reason for coming over this time was to gauge the other party's attitude. Ye Fan was hoping for a civilized resolution, but if that wasn't possible, he had his own methods.

After leaving the core area and getting in the car, Ye Fan immediately called Nana.

"Nana, connect me to Shen Ruihui's perspective."

Instantly, the scene before Ye Fan's eyes changed to darkness.

Shen Ruihui was actually asleep in his cell.

Connecting to the perspective startled him awake, and he opened his eyes immediately: "Sir, you're here."

"How are things on your end?"

"Nothing for now, I have a weapon on me, so they dare not act forcefully, but I'm trapped here and can't get out."

"Alright, I'll have Nana locate you. I'll get you out tonight."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Ye Fan cut off the perspective and communication, and the car returned to the small building.

Gathering his subordinates, Ye Fan began formulating a plan.

He couldn't let Shen Ruihui stay in there; with the General and Captain Wang infuriated, they might harm him.

Although that's unlikely, Ye Fan didn't want to take the risk.

Since those people were unappreciative, it was time to hit them hard so they'd understand his power.

"Shen Ruihui's location has been confirmed; he's inside a prison within the core area, roughly located here."

"We'll act tonight to rescue Shen Ruihui, but our people won't move. I'll produce a new batch of troops to handle this."

"Soon, I'll take everyone out; we'll find a crowded place to have a barbecue, as conspicuous as possible."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Ye Fan began amassing troops.

To rescue Shen Ruihui, they needed to penetrate the core area.

This operation was perfect for special forces, so Ye Fan created twenty special forces units.

Snipers were also essential, so he produced five snipers.

The main task in attacking a prison was demolition, so he produced two demolition experts.

A fast exit required quick evacuation, so Ye Fan produced a combat helicopter.

He also produced a flamethrower warrior and a rocket launcher warrior.

This action squad was already very powerful, and Ye Fan was confident they could complete the mission in a short time.

The spawning location was selected at a corner near the prison, as the prison was within Ye Fan's radar range.

This way, they could bypass layers of guards and directly rescue Shen Ruihui.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan prepared to go out for a barbecue with his people.

He intended to let everyone know he orchestrated this, yet leave them with no evidence against him!

Ye Fan simply didn't care about Half Sky Cloud and the Guard team.

If the official forces of the Heavy Truck Corps wanted to get involved, Ye Fan would oblige until the end this time!

At eleven o'clock at night, all units, including the combat helicopter, were completed.

With an order from Ye Fan, the operation began!
