or Su accountable.Director Su thought to himself, "You two big shots are fighting, why make things difficult for me, a small soldier"Now, Du Zilong is in the hospital wrapped like a mummy. Ye Fan beat...It seemed as if they had both thought of something, and Wei Lao and Ye Fan fell silent. The two men drank their tea in silence, neither speaking a word.

Sipping this tea fragrance, Ye Fan once again recalled his grandfather's stalwart back and righteous voice. And the fact that Lao Wei brewed this cup of tea for him must hold a profound meaning. As Ye Wudao's most cherished grandson, Ye Fan wouldn't be a coward.

It seems that someone still wants to stir up the current situation. Old Wei intentionally mentioned that if this matter is investigated, the fate of many families will be changed. It seems that these top figures also hope that the current family can get a chance for a reshuffle.

This cup of tea is meaningful.

Just as Ye Fan had just put down his teacup, three soft knocks on the door came from outside the study.

"Come in." Old Wei frowned slightly and said.

The door to the study creaked open, and Wei Lao's secretary walked in, then whispered a few words in Wei Lao's ear.

"Alright, I understand." Hearing what the secretary said, Lao Wei's eyebrows furrowed slightly and he nodded. After that, he motioned for the secretary to leave.

However, just as the secretary was about to reach the door, Old Wei spoke again: "Old Xing, arrange a few rooms. Little Fan and the others will be staying here for a while. Also, I'm going to play a couple of games of chess with that young man from the Ye family later. You go prepare for that."

Secretary Lao Xing nodded and then left the room.

After he left, Lao Wei smiled faintly: "That little rascal, it seems your arrival has attracted the attention of quite a few big shots."

"What's wrong" Ye Fan asked curiously, noticing the profound expression on Lao Wei's face.

"Even Liu Shiqi was alarmed." Lao Wei chuckled while sipping his tea.

Ye Fan's heart moved.

Liu Shiqi, he was all too familiar. Several years ago, just like Wei Lao, he was also one of the nine core figures of the Empire. And Liu Lao, as a leader in the top-level department, his ranking even preceded Wei Lao. Although he resigned, like Wei Lao, his influence still exists.

At the same time, he was also the head of the Liu family. The Liu family was a powerful clan in the Xia Empire, holding a prominent position in the business world. Especially during Liu Shiqi's reign, he laid a solid foundation for the family. The Liu family's business tentacles have spread throughout the Xia Empire and even reached many countries abroad.

But why would Ye Fan alarm Liu Shiqi To Liu Shiqi, Ye Fan was just a name he knew, but more importantly, a stranger.

What was the look on Lao Wei's face, that intriguing expression

"Liu Shiqi arrived in Yanjing by special plane today." Lao Wei put down his teacup and said solemnly: "Boy, don't underestimate Liu Shiqi's power. Although he has retired, his influence is still there. Especially his disciples, who are now responsible for several important departments of the Empire. Especially finance, it's basically all people from the Liu family." At this point, Lao Wei paused, as if he felt it necessary to remind Ye Fan a few more words, and then said: "After retiring, Old Liu has basically not been to Yanjing. Except when the new emperor came to power, he once came. This sudden stopover in Yanjing must have something to do with you."

Ye Fan frowned, he didn't understand why he would alarm such a figure. In his heart, he had already vaguely guessed what it was.

“This time, the little fat guy has caused such a stir in Beijing. Some elders are quite angry.” Wei Lao snorted coldly and continued, “They all thought the little fat guy would attack the Sun family and the Xia family, then take this opportunity to suppress him. Who knew that the little fat guy didn't do anything afterwards, just accompany me to play chess every day. Let those old guys prepare for nothing. This time you came to Beijing, I'm afraid it's because you thought you and Fatty were going to do something, right”

Ye Fan looked at Lao Wei and smiled wryly. He hadn't even done anything yet, and these big figures were already on high alert. It could be imagined that if he really delved into the events of the past, it would cause a huge uproar. But no matter how powerful the forces in front of him were, they couldn't stop his steps or determination to investigate the matter.

“It seems like there’s going to be another good show,” Old Wei said with a faint smile. He raised his head and looked at Ye Fan meaningfully, saying, “Boy, being taken care of by so many big figures is your fortune. You boy, don't disappoint us old folks.”

After finishing his words, Old Wei smiled and stood up from his seat. Holding a teacup in his hand, he walked outside while smiling and said, "Come on, play a few rounds with old man me. It's been a long time since I played chess with you, brat. Let's see if you've improved."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he had already reached the door. Ye Fan also picked up his teacup and stood up, but hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. Back then, when playing chess with Lao Wei, he hadn't been spared from being abused. He rarely played chess these years either, it seemed today he was going to be unable to escape the fate of being abused again.

Oh, if it were a fight, a hundred Wei Laos wouldn't be a match for him. Chess is indeed his weakness...

Although he knew he wasn't a match for Wei Lao, he still followed along. You have to know, in the entire Xia Dynasty, there weren't many people who could accompany Wei Lao to play chess. In this situation, Ye Fan also wanted more support. Since Wei Lao wanted to back him up, that was for the best.

When the two arrived at a large entertainment room, Secretary Lao Xing had already set up the chessboard and placed numerous snacks. Fatty, who had received the news, was also waiting on the side early. He was happily munching on a chicken leg in his hand. When he saw Ye Fan accompanied by Elder Wei walking out, he immediately stood up, still chewing on the chicken meat, and said somewhat indistinctly: "You finally came! Come quickly, the chessboard is already set up. It's been a long time since I've seen masters play against each other. Young Master Ye, today you must regain your former glory."

Ye Fan, who was following Wei Lao, almost kicked the fat man when he heard his words. Wei Lao chuckled a few times and said, "But there's a bet, you know. Whoever loses has to help me go to Mount Li to get some good tea."

"Clang!"

This time, the teacup in Ye Fan's hand finally fell to the ground because of Wei Lao's words.

Old Wei, Old Wei, so you've been thinking about this all along. Hey, making tea is doable, anyway old Ye definitely has some stock somewhere. But Old Wei, you won't have it easy from now on, just get ready to wipe my butt for me more often. Ye Fan thought resentfully while eyeing Old Wei several times.

"How about we go all in at the casino" At that moment, Fatty set down his chicken leg and started waving his greasy hands excitedly, a wicked grin on his face... her previous cold demeanor.But the moment she spoke, Ye Fan was stunned. He hurriedly asked, "What method""You just have to like this"Long Nü then told Ye Fan her plan.After hearing this, Ye Fan's he...
