"Alright, you can go now," Ye Fan waved his hand and said.
Seeing that Ye Fan was really letting him go, Deng Gang stood up from the ground. He clutched his chest, his legs shaking uncontrollably, especially at the thought of the impending assassination attempt by the entire Skynet, Deng Gang felt like he was about to faint.

As the saying goes, one can be killed but not humiliated!
Ye Fan's action was even more unbearable to Deng Gang than killing him and stripping him of all his dignity.
In this world, he had a wife and children. If he were to be hunted by Skynet, not only would he die, but even his wife and children would not be spared.
Cruel, Ye Fan's move was incredibly ruthless.
Deng Gang didn't doubt Ye Fan's words in the least. Considering how Ye Fan took down more than a hundred and fifty people at the Central Plains Skynet Headquarters by himself, Ye Fan was truly a demon incarnate.
Seeing Deng Gang staggering, Ye Fan sneered, "Didn't I leave you a way out? Why don't you take it?"
"Kill me, please, just kill me!" Deng Gang pleaded desperately.
If he were to die by Ye Fan's hand, it would only prove that his intelligence was flawed, causing the death of not only the experts from the Skynet headquarters but also himself and his team.
At least in that case, his family would not be implicated. If he were to just leave, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I always keep my word! I won't kill you, I won't ever personally take your life."
"Demon, you really are a demon! What on earth do you want?" Deng Gang was mentally tormented.
Watching Deng Gang about to collapse, Ye Fan said with a mocking smile, "Simple, tell me, who is the employer behind this?"
"This... this I cannot do!" Deng Gang struggled internally.
Ye Fan smiled, "If you can't do it, then leave! Stop wasting my time with your nonsense! Of course, I can promise you that as long as you cooperate with me, you will not only live, but also those from the Skynet headquarters won't dare to hunt you down!"
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Deng Gang became excited.
Ye Fan nodded with a smile, "You have no other choice now, you can only trust me unconditionally, right?"
"This..." Deng Gang was in agony.
Ye Fan coaxed gently, "Come on! Stop the mental struggle and tell me, who is the employer! If you don't say it, I can guess. Is it Su Tianhao and Su Yue? Or did the East Sea Chen Family make their move? It seems like the Zheng family of Jinling also has a feud with me. Let me think, I seem to have other enemies too, like the Imperial Capital Ye Family?"
"You don't need to guess anymore, I can tell you, the one who wants you dead is Zheng Shuheng of the Zheng family of Jinling!" Deng Gang, being coerced, could only believe Ye Fan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan laughed scornfully, "Zheng Shuheng? Just as I expected!"
Ye Fan knew that although he had many enemies, very few actually had the power to hire the country's number one assassin organization, Skynet, to kill him; Zheng Shuheng was one of them.
"Yes! Zheng Shuheng had us kill you, and he paid a billion in remuneration!" Deng Gang said in a deep voice.
"Good! I'm very satisfied with your attitude!"
Ye Fan nodded, then continued to probe, "You should have Zheng Shuheng's contact information, right?"
"Yes, Young Master Zheng even contacted me just now," Deng Gang said truthfully.
Ye Fan chuckled softly, "Contact Zheng Shuheng immediately. You should know what to say, right?"
"I understand, I understand everything!"
Determined to save his own life without implicating his family, Deng Gang bit the bullet, took out his phone, and called Zheng Shuheng directly.
Ye Fan had guessed that Zheng Shuheng might have approached Skynet to kill him, but what Ye Fan didn't expect was that Zheng Shuheng would go to such great lengths, spending as much as a billion to kill him.
A billion was not a small sum; it was clear that Zheng Shuheng truly hated Ye Fan to the bone.
His recent conflict with Zheng Shuheng occurred just this morning, when he went to the Xu Family, and Xu Ruoxuan invited him for breakfast. There, he encountered Zheng Shuheng, who intentionally picked a fight and ended up being soundly dealt with by Ye Fan.
It must've been that Zheng Shuheng harbored a grudge from that incident, which led him to specifically hire the assassin organization.
"Hello! Deng Gang, how's the situation on your end?" Upon receiving the call from Deng Gang, the already drunk Zheng Shuheng asked loudly.
Deng Gang offered a sycophantic smile, "Young Master Zheng, as you expected, Ye Fan has been slain by Qin Hong and the others. I have Ye Fan's head here, shall I bring it to you now?"
"What? Ye Fan has been killed? That's fantastic!" Upon hearing the news, Zheng Shuheng burst into wild laughter.
Deng Gang continued to ingratiate himself, "Young Master Zheng, didn't you say you wanted to see Ye Fan's head? Just give me a location, and I'll bring it to you immediately!"
"Great! I'm at the Red Romance Ballroom, hurry over!" Zheng Shuheng laughed loudly.
It was as if Ye Fan's death was such a delightful event to him.
After finishing his conversation with Deng Gang, Zheng Shuheng sipped some red wine and shouted to the many guests in the ballroom, "Let's get hyped, everyone get excited, tonight all expenses are on Young Master Zheng!"
"Young Master Zheng is mighty! Young Master Zheng is mighty!"
"Young Master Zheng is awesome, super-cool, and absolutely mind-blowing!"
Hearing that Zheng Shuheng was picking up the tab for the evening, everyone in the ballroom started shouting excitedly.
"Young Master, what's made you so happy?" Super Bodyguard Sun Meng walked up to him.
Zheng Shuheng laughed heartily, "Uncle Meng, Ye Fan is dead, that kid Ye Fan has been butchered by Skynet's experts!"
"Oh? Ye Fan is dead?" Sun Meng was quite thrilled to hear this.
Zheng Shuheng said smugly, "It looks like our one billion wasn't wasted! And to think I thought Skynet's assassins were so aloof. Now, it seems, they're nothing special. Uncle Meng, you wouldn't believe it, but Deng Gang was speaking to me with utter deference, just like one of my underlings! Hahaha..."
"Really? Young Master, Deng Gang is the head of the Central Plains Skynet Branch, how could he possibly speak to you with such respect?" Sun Meng was surprised.
Zheng Shuheng sneered, "Money makes the world go round. Deng Gang is clearly looking to continue doing business with us! And believe it or not, he's now on his way to the Red Romance Ballroom with Ye Fan's head! It won't be long before we can see Ye Fan's severed head!"
"What? Deng Gang is personally delivering Ye Fan's head?" Sun Meng was shocked.
Zheng Shuheng was puzzled, "Uncle Meng, is there a problem with that?"
"Something's off! Young Master, this is not right!" Sun Meng immediately said.

Zheng Shuheng asked in confusion, "What's not right? Uncle Meng, don't scare me!"
"Young Master, as far as I know, Skynet's assassins are always very aloof. They do business if there is some, and don't force matters if there isn't. They would never bow and scrape to anyone, not even if you were rich. Deng Gang wouldn't kowtow to you, there's something fishy here!" Sun Meng hurriedly said.
His friend was an assassin within Skynet, and Sun Meng had a general understanding of the inner workings of the Skynet assassins.
Most importantly, Sun Meng clearly remembered how arrogant Deng Gang had been that day, insisting not a penny less than ten billion.
How could Deng Gang, who was so domineering during the day, suddenly start acting so obsequious?
Sun Meng had been a bodyguard for the Zheng family of Jinling for many years, always meticulous in his duties, and he couldn't help but feel an impending sense of crisis.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Meng's expression changed drastically, "Young Master, did you tell Deng Gang our location?"
"Uncle Meng, if I didn't tell Deng Gang our location, how would he bring Ye Fan's head to us?" Zheng Shuheng said impatiently.
"Not good! We're exposed, we've been exposed!"
Sun Meng's eyelids twitched wildly as he urged, "Young Master, the situation seems to have changed. Here's what you're going to do, leave immediately through the back door, the farther, the better!"
"Uncle Meng, aren't you being too paranoid?" Zheng Shuheng asked, somewhat annoyed.
He was about to see Ye Fan's head, and just at this moment, Sun Meng was pushing him to leave, which was very frustrating for Zheng Shuheng.
Sun Meng insisted, "Young Master, better safe than sorry! Remember today at Skynet, how tough Deng Gang was? Doesn't it strike you as odd that he's being so respectful now? Plus, I've never failed in all my years as a bodyguard, mainly because I have an intuition that's out of the ordinary!"
"Uncle Meng, I think you're just being too cautious, there's nothing to worry about!" Zheng Shuheng dismissed the concerns nonchalantly.
Seeing that Zheng Shuheng had no intention of leaving, Sun Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, listen to me just this once! You go first, I'll personally go to Skynet Headquarters to check things out. If nothing's amiss, it won't be too late for you to come back out. If there's a huge disaster on my end, you need to get on the highway and go as far as possible!"
"Alright, alright!" Zheng Shuheng said, clearly impatient.
Zheng Shuheng was completely unaware that Sun Meng's intuition was right; a crisis was brewing and about to engulf them.
