Chapter 60 - 60 055 Cutting Off the Source
60: Chapter 055 [Cutting Off the Source] 60: Chapter 055 [Cutting Off the Source] The night was deepening, as a new model Audi A6L that wouldn’t attract much attention in Hanghu drove along the main road.
Inside the car, Ye Fan’s expression was very calm, as if he had just killed a chicken, not a human being.
However…
behind the calmness hid a chilling killing intent!
Having deduced that He Fenghua would not let matters rest, Ye Fan returned to the company at noon and took the time to understand the He Family’s situation and conceived a plan to take them down.
He hadn’t had the chance to put it into action before encountering He Fenghua’s revenge!
In such circumstances, he felt that if he didn’t quickly deliver a big “gift” back to the He Family, it would be too sorry for He Fenghua!
Half an hour later, Ye Fan parked the car three kilometers away from Purple Gold Garden and walked towards it.
Purple Gold Garden.
This was the stronghold of the He Family.
Apart from He Li, who lived in the City Committee Mansion due to his position in the government, most of the He Family members resided in the affluent area of Purple Gold Garden, among whom He Fenghua, as the heir, owned a villa of his own.
About twenty minutes later, Ye Fan secretly infiltrated Purple Gold Garden, wandering around like a ghost.
He discovered that among the several villas belonging to the He Family, all except for He Fenghua’s were lit up.
After scouting out the situation, Ye Fan approached He Fenghua’s villa.
Taking advantage of the moment when two He Family bodyguards were lighting cigarettes, he slipped into the villa unnoticed and immediately found the safe embedded in the wall.
Generally speaking, owning a safe at home meant little worry even if thieves strike.
The premise is that the thieves are just ordinary petty thieves, not members of the Dao Sect—for those from the Dao Sect, let alone ordinary safes, they could even sneak into some secret bases.
Although Ye Fan wasn’t a member of the Dao Sect, he had learned some of the Dao Sect’s skills from Chu Xuanji, so opening a safe was as simple as drinking water.
“Click—”
One minute later, with a crisp sound, the safe was opened by Ye Fan.
In the light, Ye Fan could clearly see that the safe was divided into three layers.
The first layer contained cash, foreign currency, and bank cards.
The second layer held some small jade stone antiques, while the third layer contained only a black notebook.
Without any hesitation, Ye Fan immediately grabbed the black notebook.
Having experienced a month of secular life, Ye Fan had basically figured out the various rules of the secular world.
He knew that businessmen who grew wealthy by exploiting the unspoken rules would record gifts and bribery transactions.
By doing this, on one hand, they could keep a clear account; on the other hand, it served as a deterrent against those who took the goods but didn’t do the work.
Most importantly, it served as a lifeline—in times of crisis, these businessmen could use this evidence to force their patrons to rescue them with unwavering effort, otherwise they all would fall together.
This is what is meant by a community of shared interests, crickets on the same rope.
And Ye Fan’s visit to Purple Gold Garden tonight was specifically to get his hands on this evidence, using the rules of the game in the official and commercial realms to bring down the He Family’s commercial empire!
Hm?
As he flipped through the notebook and saw the records inside, Ye Fan’s pupils dilated instantly—the notebook wasn’t just a personal record of He Fenghua but a compilation of the He Family’s records over the years!
The earlier records were all penned by the He Family Patriarch, that is He Fenghua’s father He Rui, while the records from the last year were all completed by He Fenghua.
A year ago, after He Fenghua captivated Han Jing’s heart, he spared no effort in spending two hundred million to purchase a rare pair of porcelain vases, which he gave to Jiangnan’s second-in-command Han Guodong, earning his approval and being designated the undisputed heir of the He Family!
After that, letting He Fenghua handle these gift-giving and bribery tasks was the best choice—for those being bribed, even if they didn’t want to give face to the He Family, they had to give face to Han Guodong!
“This ‘big gift’ should satisfy the He Family, shouldn’t it?”
As Ye Fan slowly closed the notebook, he thought this way but didn’t touch anything else in the safe.
Instead, he closed the safe and left the villa like a ghost.
…
Jiuxi Rose Garden, Su Family’s No.2 Villa.
Su Yuxin had not yet gone to bed and, unlike usual, she wasn’t working in the study but was sitting on the sofa in the living room, a rare occurrence.
On the TV screen, the latest soap opera was playing, but Su Yuxin had no interest in watching it.
Instead, she kept glancing toward the villa’s entrance and occasionally at the Vacheron Constantin on her wrist.
“Yuxin, it’s late, go to bed,” Mrs.
Su turned off the TV and said.
“Mom, you can go to sleep first.
I’ll go to bed soon,” Su Yuxin replied absently.
Mrs.
Su sighed: “You’re waiting for Doctor Ye, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
Su Yuxin subconsciously nodded, then felt a bit improper and quickly explained nervously, “Doctor Ye is supposed to treat me today…”
“Yuxin, if you’re worried about him, you can give him a call,” Mrs.
Su hesitated for a moment before interrupting Su Yuxin with a bitter smile.
“Uh…”
Hearing her mother’s words, Su Yuxin felt as if someone had peeked into the secrets of her heart.
With her mouth slightly agape, she was at a loss for words.
Originally, she had heard from Su Jindi and Uncle Fu that Ye Fan was a martial arts master, but she didn’t know how strong Ye Fan actually was.
And as much as she knew He Fenghua, she was certain that He Fenghua would seek revenge against Ye Fan!
After all, He Fenghua was different from her; he didn’t know that Ye Fan had Chu Ji as a backer!
Under such circumstances, how could Su Yuxin be at ease with Ye Fan not returning for so long?
It was worry that made her look repeatedly at the door and her watch, it was worry that drove her to try to call Ye Fan more than once.
However, due to her nature, she could never muster the courage to do so.
“Yuxin, sometimes it’s normal for a girl to take the initiative,” Mrs.
Su said.
As the saying goes, fathers know their sons best, and mothers know their daughters.
As Su Yuxin’s mother, Mrs.
Su knew her daughter’s thoughts all too well.
“Mom…”
Perhaps not expecting her mother to say that, Su Yuxin was initially startled, then her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
She was about to say something when she heard the sound of a car outside.
At this discovery, Su Yuxin’s face lit up with joy, and she couldn’t help but stand up.
However, she soon sat down again.
Seeing the look of hesitation in Su Yuxin’s eyes, Mrs.
Su couldn’t help but smile wryly.
She didn’t say much but decided to leave Ye Fan and Su Yuxin alone.
“You’re back, Divine Doctor Ye.”
Mrs.
Su had just gone upstairs when Ye Fan entered the villa’s hall.
Su Yuxin immediately rose from the sofa, like a wife waiting for her husband, welcoming him with a smile.
“Mhm,” Ye Fan nodded, “Why haven’t you gone to sleep so late?”
“I couldn’t sleep…”
That’s how Su Yuxin responded.
Then, seeing bloodstains on Ye Fan’s sleeve, her face changed instantly.
She rushed over, grabbed Ye Fan’s sleeve, and said with concern, “Ye…
Divine Doctor Ye, what happened?
Why is there blood on your sleeve?
Did that bastard He Fenghua send someone to retaliate against you?”
“No.”
Hearing the concern in Su Yuxin’s words and seeing her frantic worry, Ye Fan felt warmth in his heart and instinctively didn’t want Su Yuxin to worry.
“Then why is there blood on your sleeve?” Su Yuxin still clutched Ye Fan’s clothes, her worry not diminishing, “You can’t lie to me!”
“The weather is too hot, got a nosebleed on the way back,” Ye Fan fabricated a lie, his gaze remaining on Su Yuxin’s beautiful face filled with concern, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being cared for.
“Whew…”
Trusting Ye Fan, Su Yuxin didn’t question his words and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then she suddenly realized she was still holding on to Ye Fan’s sleeve.
Seeing Ye Fan looking at her with an amused smile, she panic-released her grip and stepped back, too scared to meet his gaze.
“Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, you shouldn’t stay up late.
You need to rest early,” Ye Fan said, seeing that Su Yuxin felt awkward, and deliberately changed the subject.
“I know.”
Su Yuxin nodded, spilling her worries despite herself, “I was going to sleep, but since you hadn’t come back for so long, I thought He Fenghua might have sent someone after you.
I was a bit worried…”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be many days before He Fenghua ends up behind bars,” Ye Fan assured with confidence.
End up in jail?!
Upon hearing this, Su Yuxin froze.
At noon, she tried to use legal means to punish He Fenghua, but he was unafraid, even thinking that she was foolish to the extreme!
And now, Ye Fan was confidently stating that He Fenghua would end up in jail…
Could it be…
Divine Doctor Ye was using his powerful connections to take action against He Fenghua?
After a brief daze, Su Yuxin inwardly questioned herself.
“I’ve got my hands on the evidence of the He Family bribing government officials over the years.”
Seeing the puzzled look on Su Yuxin’s face, Ye Fan explained, “If we give this evidence to your grandfather, with his skills, he should be able to bring down the He Family, right?”
“What…
what?!”
Stunned by Ye Fan’s shocking revelation, Su Yuxin was left dumbfounded!
Although all of the Su Family’s dealings with officials were managed by Su Hongyuan, Su Yuxin was relatively inexperienced with the shady struggles of the business and government sector.
But…
she knew that whether it was the He Family, the Su Family, or other commercial clans, everyone paid their respects to the officials!
It can be said that even though such matters are well understood by all, the evidence involved is the most precious secret of the major families.
Leaking it would have unimaginable consequences!
And now, Ye Fan had obtained evidence against the He Family for bribing the officials…
This was equivalent to cutting off the source and controlling the lifeblood of the He Family!
