Inside a club, Ji Tian leisurely drank his wine and savored his gourmet meal.
The Military Advisor hurried over and reported, "Young Master Ji, things are not going well; our arranged assassination failed to kill Ye Fan."
"How is that possible?" Ji Tian’s relaxed demeanor vanished instantly. He threw away the knife and fork in his hand and became gloomy, "Which part went wrong? I’ve painstakingly planned this assassination, there’s no reason it shouldn’t kill him. Where did the mistake occur?"
Faced with Ji Tian’s inquiry, the Military Advisor was equally puzzled; he was confident that everything had proceeded according to the plan, without any mistakes.
"I’m sure Ye Fan was buried in the cement factory. With the amount of explosives used and the level of destruction, Ye Fan should not have survived." The Military Advisor stated in confusion, "But the problem lies here; I’m also baffled and cannot comprehend what kind of unexpected event occurred."
Not even in his dreams would Ji Tian have imagined that Ye Fan was so extraordinarily powerful that the explosion had no effect on him.
Simply put, he underestimated Ye Fan’s strength. He couldn’t fathom how extraordinary Ye Fan’s skills were.
At this moment, the Military Advisor was most troubled not by Ye Fan’s survival but by the fact that Shen Yahut had died. He said solemnly, "Young Master Ji, there are other forces targeting Ye Fan, but they also failed to kill him. However, they killed Shen Yahut, Secretary to President Chu, who was in the same car with Ye Fan."
"That blind fool caused such a mess." Ji Tian was furious, abruptly stood up, and began pacing as he contemplated.
"I blackmailed Ye Juanjuan merely to kill Ye Fan, intending no harm to Ye Juanjuan. Now, Shen Yahut is dead; this matter will undoubtedly be endless. Chu Mengyao will not let go of the investigation. If suspicion falls on me, how can I pursue Mengyao in the future? Isn’t this a disaster?" Ji Tian was very upset, cursing the fool who caused this mess without a single good word.
Killing Ye Fan was meant to remove the man in contact with Chu Mengyao and to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.
It’s fine if a man dies; sooner or later Chu Mengyao would forget. But targeting the woman next to Chu Mengyao would surely lead to trouble.
"Could it be Meng Hao’s doing?" the Military Advisor asked tentatively.
"Impossible, I know Meng Hao; he wouldn’t commit such a foolish act. Now, Meng Hao is probably just like me, also speculating who the perpetrator was." Ji Tian replied confidently.
Then, his gaze turned serious, and he calmly asked, "Were the people sent out all taken care of? No traces left behind, right?"
"Don’t worry, Young Master Ji, Song Yang and his men are all dead. According to the police, all seven of Song Yang’s men met a tragic end. Although their faces are unrecognizable, based on the number, I can confirm that Song Yang’s connection is severed. Furthermore, the two who kidnapped Ye Juanjuan were also dealt with, leaving no traces. Even if someone wants to investigate, they won’t trace it back to us." The Military Advisor assured firmly.
"That’s good." Ji Tian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On the other side, Meng Hao was furious.
"Wu Dahai is dead, and the owner of Boss Entertainment City is dead too. Ye Fan rescued Shen Yahut. Our plan to obtain evidence of Ye Fan’s affair with the mistress fell apart, and in the process, we exposed ourselves." Flying Rat reported the events in detail.
"Useless! They’re all damn useless. Couldn’t even handle this small matter. Why do I keep them on payroll in the Meng Family?" Meng Hao was seething with rage, unlike Ji Tian’s flawless operations; now he’s exposed a significant weakness.
Initially, he engaged the Fierce Tiger Gang for assistance, with Wu Dahai providing support, fearing unforeseen complications. Now things turned out worse, everyone involved fell into the trap.
"Wu Dahai, that bastard, couldn’t even handle this small task. How did Ye Fan find Shen Yahut’s location? Thank goodness he’s dead; otherwise, I would have skinned him alive." Meng Hao grumbled indignantly.
"Young Master Meng, what should we do now? Ye Fan and Shen Yahut were involved in a car crash on their way back, and Shen Yahut died. Isn’t it easy to suspect us?" Flying Rat worriedly asked, "Could Shen Yahut’s death be caused by Ji Tian’s side, framing us in the process? If so, it could lead to big trouble."
"Ji Tian is ruthless, but he would never commit such acts. Whether him or me, we both want that bastard Ye Fan dead. The death of others, especially those around Chu Mengyao, wouldn’t benefit us." Meng Hao frowned thoughtfully, contemplating his understanding and analysis, "With such an event, either it was an accident, or another force wanted Ye Fan dead."
"Our people did not find any other enemies Ye Fan might have." Flying Rat remarked.
"If it is indeed Ye Fan’s enemies who did it, it shows they’re not insignificant and deeply hidden, naturally difficult to detect. From the location, it’s clear the cement truck driver was targeting Ye Fan, and Shen Yahut was just an accidental casualty." Filled with anxiety, Meng Hao worried about the trouble this incident posed for him.
"Find every way to distance ourselves from the situation." Meng Hao replied helplessly.
Now, the incident implicated the Fierce Tiger Gang, and the Meng Family was behind it all. No matter the situation, clearing suspicion was nearly impossible.
"I’ll do my best." Flying Rat went off to carry out his duties.
Nagatani Meiaki was extremely sly, hacking the traffic system in a library to avoid leaving any trace.
At this moment, she had already returned to Red Skull.
"I didn’t expect that even after carefully planning the assassination, we still failed to kill Ye Fan. Instead, an insignificant person died." Nagatani Meiaki frowned bitterly, extremely unwilling.
Red Skull, watching the footage of Ye Fan’s response at the scene, cautiously remarked, "This is a formidable opponent; no wonder my trusted subordinates practically all perished at his hands. Killing him won’t be easy."
"I must find an opportunity to challenge him again; I just don’t believe his hacking skills surpass mine." Nagatani Meiaki was still aggrieved about losing in hacking against Ye Fan previously, hoping to easily kill him this time, but ended up failing again.
"One must not underestimate him." Red Skull’s gaze flickered with hesitation before stating, "Once the storm passes, organize a charity event; I aim to connect with Chu Mengyao personally, then eliminate Ye Fan as a threat with my own hands. As one of the top experts in the organization, I refuse to believe the infamous Red Skull cannot kill him."
