Chapter 146
“Make sure to delete the video. For the next piece of information, I need the real result.”
No. 7 said, “It’s not much of a big deal. About $200,000 should do. If you also want me to delete the video, that’ll cost extra.”
“Send it first.”
Very soon, No. 7 sent over another video.
Ye Zifeng glanced at it and asked, “What’s this? What’s the meaning of this? Are you messing with me?”
“One of them is Xiao Lan, the woman currently by Ye Aotian’s side. The other is Zheng Shaoyang, a genius economist.”
What the f—
What the hell is this?
Ye Zifeng suddenly had a realization.
Is someone like Ye Aotian even worth fighting against? More importantly, someone like Ye Aotian was still somehow on equal footing with Chen Fan? Just how useless does that make Chen Fan?!
“I … f— it. Delete it. Don’t sell it to anyone.”
“Boss is generous. Boss is rich.”
Ye Zifeng asked, “What if I want to buy information about Chen Fan?”
“Sorry, we don’t sell that here. Thanks, but you can look elsewhere.”
“You … aren’t you an information broker? Aren’t you supposed to sell everything?”
“That’s my business. You’re asking too many questions. I sell what I want to sell. I just don’t like Ye Aotian. But Chen Fan? I have no issue with him. So, I’m not selling his information.”
What the f— Why?!
“You like Chen Fan?”
Hahahahaha.
No. 7 said, “Fine, I’ll give you a reason. I think Chen Fan’s a decent guy. At the very least, when it comes to Lin Qingyue, he’s truly devoted to her—and he’s remained completely faithful.”
“A man who loses all ambition because of a woman … and you think that’s a good thing?”
Are you stupid?
No. 7 replied, “That’s just you men talking. Go ask any woman—see if any of them could refuse a man like that.”
Ye Zifeng turned around and looked at Xiaoli, who was slicing fruit.
“Let me ask you something. A rich second-generation heir—wealthy, surrounded by women—but he remains completely faithful to the one woman he loves. Would women like that kind of man?”
Xiaoli answered without hesitation, “Of course. A man like that is impossible to resist. Every girl would love him.”
Damn. So Chen Fan … is actually a hopeless romantic? A devoted simp among rich second-generation heirs? This is just embarrassing.
“Alright, delete the video later. I get the picture. I also know the rules—I won’t ask too many questions. But what if someone buys my information?”
“If they pay, I’ll sell. Why? Is there a problem?”
Never mind. Damn.
After cutting off contact, Ye Zifeng stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
What the hell am I even supposed to do with this?
Before coming here, Ye Zifeng had done a lot of preparation.
He had assumed that going up against these two big names would help boost his own reputation.
But after what he had just seen. He found both of them equally useless.
One of them got screwed by a man and doesn’t even know it. Not to mention, his own woman was cheating on him, and he was completely clueless.
The other one … was just a hopeless romantic simp.
Watching these two go at it felt like watching kids play house.
Forget it. I’m done. Just let the world burn. These two … aren’t they just mine to toy with?
Turning around, Ye Zifeng said, “Xiaoli, I’m giving you an opportunity. Don’t disappoint me. Get close to Ye Aotian—find a way to become part of his life. Win his heart. Can you do it?”
Xiaoli put down the knife and said, “Of course. Is there anything else I need to do?”
“Ling Xiaoyun is a key factor. If possible, make him fall in love with you too.”
“Understood.”
Xiaoli nodded and walked out of the room.
…
Ye Zifeng’s lips curled into a wicked smile. The real show was just beginning. Now was when things would start getting truly interesting.
Meanwhile, over on Ye Aotian’s side, Feifei had been returned. It was Ye Zifeng who had let him go.
At the moment, Feifei was unconscious, lying on the sofa.
“Is he hurt?”
“No, but it seems like he was injected with something—probably a truth serum or something similar.”
Ye Aotian sighed and said, “Mm, I figured as much. That guy probably wanted to dig up dirt on us. But unfortunately for him, he miscalculated. Anyone could find out my background if they wanted. I’m right here. Let’s see what he thinks he can do to me.”
“What about Feifei?”
“Send him to the hospital for a check-up. He’s one of us—we can’t afford for anything to happen to him.”
Ling Xiaoyun nodded.
Sigh. Is this … love between two men? Damn it. What’s wrong with me? Why am I suddenly shipping them? No. No, this isn’t right. This isn’t right at all.
On the other hand, while things were tense and grim on Ye Aotian’s side, Chen Fan’s home was peaceful and relaxed.
Chen Fan was leisurely enjoying a steak.
At the dining table, Zhu Yeqing was seated next to him, while Cao Zijin sat across from him.
A little girl was wolfing down her food with incredible speed.
“Mine! It’s all mine! None of you are allowed to steal my food!”
Chen Fan rubbed his temples and said, “I need an explanation, Cao Zijin. Why is she in my house?”
“Wow, hubby! Did you just accept me? You said ‘our house’! Did you mean that? Did you really mean it?”
Like hell I did. That was a slip of the tongue.
Damn it.
I actually said something that sounded that ambiguous without thinking. That’s not right—I’m supposed to be a villain! Wait. That’s not the point. The point is—why is she here?!
“I’m asking about her. Give me a serious answer.”
Cao Zijin said, “It’s nothing big. She got kidnapped, right? She didn’t feel safe, so she just came back here.”
“I was the one who kidnapped her. So why did you bring her to my house?”
Cao Zijin said, “You should ask her. How would I know? She followed me here on her own.”
Chen Fan turned to Liu Feifei.
Liu Feifei said, “I think Brother Chen Fan is a good person. My intuition has never been wrong. As long as someone is a good person, I trust that they will protect me.”
“I’m a bad guy. A terrible person. You’re wrong about me. Your intuition is wrong. You should go get that checked at a hospital.”
“No need! Also, the food here is really delicious. Every time I eat here, I feel so happy! Hehe. Actually, the real reason I’m here is because I love Sister Zhu Yeqing’s cooking. It’s not because of you at all.”
“Zhu Yeqing is mine.”
Wow. Young Master finally admitted that I’m his. Young Master … so handsome!
Zhu Yeqing gazed at Chen Fan with eyes full of admiration.
Chen Fan let out a helpless sigh, grabbed a napkin, wiped the corner of his mouth, and stood up.
“Fine. Eat. Eat until you die. One of these days, you’ll eat yourself to death.”
“Hubby, where are you going?”
Chen Fan said, “Can’t I leave? I’d rather not see this nonsense.”
“But we have a guest. If you leave, how are we supposed to entertain them?”
Guest? Who?
At that moment, the door opened, and Jin Lan walked in.
Chen Fan pointed at her and asked, “What is the meaning of this? Explain it to me. Why is she here? She’s Ye Aotian’s person. You all know that, don’t you?”
Jin Lan looked at Chen Fan helplessly.
You’re still acting? Seriously?
Cao Zijin picked up her phone and said, “Here, take this. It’s your father on the line.”
Father?
Chen Fan picked up the phone and heard Chen Tianqiang’s voice.

“Dad, what’s going on?”
“You suspect Jin Lan?”
“No … Father, listen to me. If Jin Lan hadn’t been in contact with Ye Aotian, then there’s no way Ye Aotian could have progressed this quickly.”
