Chapter 429 -429: A New Day_1
Just as Li Fuqiang was pondering how to advise the Xu Family not to make rash moves, Xu Fan suddenly said, “The truth about my father’s situation will be clear in at most six months, and by then, my mother will naturally be exonerated from her wrongful imprisonment.”
Xu Fan’s voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself, but among the five people present, who wasn’t sharp-witted and clear-sighted? Upon hearing this, they all felt Xu Fan’s confidence and determination, and their spirits were instantly uplifted.
After all, Xu Fan was a colleague, very capable, and got along well with everyone, so of course, they hoped he would sort out his troubles.
Besides, many people were watching this case, whether out of concern or curiosity, they all wanted to know the truth behind it.
Xu Tianlong was after all a Grandmaster in the later stages, yet he suddenly died a violent death. The murderer must have planned meticulously, indicating they were no ordinary person, choosing to kill and frame someone else due to huge interests involved.
It was estimated that once the real culprit was pulled out into the open, it would cause a sensation throughout Yan Country and bring enormous upheaval to the Xu Family.
And Xu Fan, he didn’t care about all that.
Li Fuqiang looked at Xu Fan with admiration. He was looking forward to the day when it would come, when Xu Fan, powerful and formidable, would return to the Xu Family to clear his mother’s name.
“Good, I’m looking forward to that,” Li Fuqiang said. “If that day really comes, remember to let me know. I’m very curious to see who had the audacity to harm Brother Xu in such a way.”
“Definitely,” Xu Fan nodded emphatically.
He was well aware that once the truth came to light, the real culprit’s identity and status would undoubtedly be extraordinary, but Li Fuqiang stepped in without hesitation to stand for him, which was help! It was kinship!
With that, the conversation was coming to an end.
Xu Fan bid farewell to everyone and was the first to leave, returning to his Audi A7 and driving away with a roar.
Li Fuqiang and the others chatted for a bit longer and soon left the place as well, heading to the division to rest.
Qian Zongsheng was outwardly calm, but inside, he was extremely excited, for he followed Xu Fan back to the car and received the Wooden Immortal Technique and Arrow Flower Dart Leaf that Xu Fan had promised him.
He also promised to deliver the Dragon-Horn Ginseng within three days.
About this trip.
Li Fuqiang could say he returned with a full load. Not only did he gain the Six Superior Martial Skills, but he also obtained two other benefits: the double-class protector mission from Xu Fan and 100 elite soldiers joining Xu Fan’s security training camp.
If all goes well, both Li Fuqiang and Qian Zongsheng would be awarded a large number of Merit Points by the headquarters.
The Six Martial Arts Techniques passed through Li Fuqiang’s hands, and even if he didn’t keep a copy, the organization would give him the opportunity to choose one.
It goes without saying for Qian Zongsheng, and even Xiao Bai and the other two benefitted from it, having the fortune to observe the confrontation between two top experts up close and earning a considerable amount of Merit Points, which was also very satisfying.
In summary, tonight’s meeting was a success, with both sides getting what they needed, to the joy of all.
…
Just after one o’clock in the middle of the night, Xu Fan quietly turned the lock and, changing into slippers in the entryway, sat down on the living room sofa.
He actually had his own house, with a villa at Star of Zhonghai, but every time he came back, he subconsciously considered this his home. Thinking about it, it seemed like quite a while since he had last returned to look at Star of Zhonghai.
Also, he didn’t know who had left a pair of men’s slippers in the entryway, how thoughtful indeed, as before, he always wore disposable slippers when he came back.
Suddenly, the door to the master bedroom was gently pushed open from the inside, letting out the light from within, and a graceful figure, sleepy-eyed, appeared in the doorway, wearing light peach-colored silk pajamas with white lotus flowers at the chest, and the cuffs and hem sporting delicate lace patterns.
Xu Yixue looked towards Xu Fan, her voice soft, “You didn’t have any trouble when you went out just now, did you?”
“No trouble, just met with a few friends,” Xu Fan got up and approached, saying, “Can’t sleep?”
Xu Yixue hummed a little shyly, her voice mosquito-like, “I was waiting for you.”
As soon as she said it, Xu Yixue regretted it, her delicate face suddenly blushed fiercely, her cheeks aflame, and her body began to twist awkwardly.
Xu Fan’s heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, his face reddened too, his breathing becoming a bit heavier. He cleared his throat softly and diverted the topic, “Is Tongtong sleeping well?”
“Sweet and fragrant,” Xu Yixue suddenly locked eyes with him, a flicker of suspicion in her bright eyes as she questioned with a hint of unease, “Does meeting friends really have to happen at midnight?”
“It’s not what you’re thinking…” Xu Fan felt as if he were being interrogated.
“Then what is it?” Xu Yixue pressed on relentlessly.
“It was really just a meet-up with friends,” Xu Fan hastened to explain: “Today’s incident was quite a stir; even the Flame Dragon Organization took notice. They helped me out, settled the matter…”
Xu Fan spoke in great detail, fearing that anything less would be taken for a lie.
Only after hearing the full explanation did Xu Yixue realize that the situation was more serious than she had thought, and that Xu Fan had made such significant efforts to resolve it.
“Thank you!” Xu Yixue pursed her lips, feeling a warm and sweet sense of gratitude, as if this home now had its true pillar.
Xu Fan couldn’t resist gently rubbing Xu Yixue’s head and pushing out his lips in a smile, “It’s late, better sleep now. There’s still a lot to do tomorrow.”
“Okay, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
Xu Yixue obediently nodded like a little girl, walked into her room, and looked back with a tender, sweet smile.
Once the door closed, Xu Fan sat back down on the sofa, seemingly resting with eyes closed, but inside he was restless and troubled.
Sigh, they both genuinely liked and cared for each other, and without the initial misconceptions, it seemed things were meant to fall into place, yet they remained just short of piercing through that final layer of paper thin separation.
Xu Fan was anxious about this, wishing he could just pull Xu Yixue into his arms, inhale the scent of her hair, and boldly declare, “Woman, I want to hold you like this tonight.”
Unfortunately, though he had the desire, he lacked the courage, backing out at the critical moment.
After a long deliberation, all he could do was shake his head and chuckle.
Alas, he couldn’t rush this.
If he decided to make a move, it had to be with precision, leaving no room for her to refuse or hesitate; therefore, he needed a well-thought-out plan for the long term.
That night, Xu Fan continued his meditation and cultivation.
At a little past seven in the morning, Xu Fan was the first to wake up. After taking care of his personal hygiene, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.
More than half an hour later, Xu Fan laid out breakfast on the dining table. In addition to a cup of rich, creamy pure milk for everyone, he had also prepared neat slices of toast, sunny-side-up eggs with lustrous, golden coloring, savory sausages that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, plus five boiled eggs from farm-raised chickens.
It was a simple style with a variety of foods, both nutritious and healthy.
“Tongtong, Xue’er, Xiao Ning, Shi Yu, come for breakfast.”
Xu Fan called out from the living room.
Xu Yixue and the other ladies, along with Tongtong, had finished washing up and came to the dining table one after the other.
It was another warm and joyous breakfast, which even Chen Shiyu had grown to love the atmosphere of.
Of course, this was mainly due to Xu Fan’s excellent culinary skills, making everything delicious.
During the meal, Xu Fan naturally received praise and admiration from everyone for his cooking.

After they finished, Ye Xiaoning took the initiative to clean up the dishes and utensils.
Xu Fan, meanwhile, played Candy Crush with Tongtong on his phone.
They waited for the three ladies to finish applying makeup, and then the family headed out together—some to work and others to go about their day.
