As Lin Fan's face turned gloomy, the others also fell silent, their expressions growing heavy!

"What's going on exactly?" Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, his tone icy, each word carrying a hint of menace.

Lin Bai didn't hesitate and spoke directly, "You should be well aware that the master from back then, the previous Sect Leader, his direct disciple was Third Uncle. Originally, Third Uncle was the candidate for the next Sect Leader, and his strength even surpassed your master."

"However, during the later Martial Arts conference, your master burst out unexpectedly, winning the title of Martial Arts Venerable, impressing everyone in the Martial World. If at that time, the sect let Third Uncle inherit the position of Sect Leader, they would have become a laughingstock to the world."

"That's why your master rose in position and inherited the Sect Leader's legacy, his strength suddenly surpassing Third Uncle! Over the years, although Third Uncle seems indifferent, often chatting and laughing on the surface, you and I should know he's someone with a venomous heart, causing no small amount of trouble for your master in secret."

"Recently, your return to the country reached the sect. Learning about your deeds abroad and not contacting the sect for five years, Third Uncle labeled you a traitor and, with the Elders, tried to exile you from the sect, intending for his disciple to inherit the position of the next Sect Leader." Lin Bai said in a grave voice.

"Really vicious!" Lin Fan responded coldly.

"Your master cherishes and protects you deeply, naturally won't allow such a thing to happen. He nearly clashed with the Elders because of it, getting punished with a month of contemplation and three months of confinement, not allowed to leave the mountain."

"Moreover, Third Uncle has been sowing discord between your master and the Elders, now the Elders are very dissatisfied with your master, preparing to let Third Uncle replace him as Sect Leader..."

As Lin Bai finished speaking, the room's atmosphere grew even heavier, silent except for the falling of pins, everyone was watching Lin Fan closely.

"Seems like I'll have to visit the sect after some time, the old man has done so much for me, it's time for me to repay the debt." Lin Fan clenched his fist tightly, his eyes revealing seriousness.

"If you wish to seek justice for your master, we will definitely stand by your side and support you." Lin Bai said firmly looking at Lin Fan.

"Exactly, I'm on your side too! I refuse to believe we can't outmaneuver Third Uncle and the Elders, huh! I've long been annoyed by those old folks." Lin Ya said coldly.

"Right! We're standing by Fan brother's side too, advancing and retreating together with him!"

Other fellow brothers expressed their determination.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes showed a few signs of gratitude!

What defines brotherhood, is brothers standing by you no matter what happens, advancing and retreating with you. If you become the Godslayer, I'll accompany you in slaying gods! If you become a demon slayer, I'll accompany you in slaying demons! If you die, I will never live shamefully!

Suddenly, Lin Fan was reminded of his childhood, taking his friends up to the mountain top, holding a small wooden stick in his right hand, pointing at the vast landscapes, shouting boldly: Brothers, one day, all of this will be ours!

...

At that moment, in East Sea, Yanyu Group.

Su Yanyu finished her day's work, stretched her arms lazily, her professional attire accentuating a pair of ample peaks, creating an enticing curve.

Su Yanyu was beautiful, so beautiful it was breathtaking, every motion and every glance exuding captivating charm.

She then slowly stood up, walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, arms crossed over her chest, her attractive face still cold as ice, like a queen overlooking all, her gaze fixed on the distant view, precisely towards Yanjing.

"You should have already arrived in Yanjing, right? You've been away for seven days, without you... life is somewhat dull."

Su Yanyu looked at the global limited edition diamond watch on her white wrist, murmuring to herself, her mind inevitably filled with Lin Fan's playful smile.

However, thinking of Lin Fan's morning phone call with Ye Fei'Er, Su Yanyu felt a tinge of nervousness, as if something very precious to her was being taken away...

Bang bang bang~

At this moment, there was the sound of knocking!

Su Yanyu composed herself, commanding with authority, "Come in."

Click~

As the door opened, Nalan Suqin walked into the office.

This woman was still dressed in her signature red professional outfit, outlining her golden ratio figure, emphasizing where needed, curvaceous where needed, like an alluring beauty snake.

"President, here is the data of the restaurant group preparing to collaborate with our group this time, we plan to acquire sixty percent of their shares, but their asking price is ten billion, I've already arranged for a team to go to Yanjing to investigate, if there are no issues, we can proceed with the acquisition immediately."

Nalan Suqin walked closer, leaving a document on the table.

"Manager Nalan, thank you for your hard work, you've done so much for the group, during the year-end, I'll reward you on behalf of the group." Su Yanyu tried to soften her tone, but it still sounded somewhat cold.

"Thank you, President, this is what I should do! If the President has no more requests, I'll return to work." Nalan Suqin said, preparing to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment!" Suddenly, Su Yanyu called from behind.

Nalan Suqin curiously furrowed her brow and turned to ask, "Is there anything else, President?"

Su Yanyu's mouth moved slightly, her face showing determination, she said, "Disband the investigation team, they don't need to go, I want to go personally!"

"Go personally?"

Nalan Suqin was surprised, recently Su Yanyu seemed a bit strange, slightly changing from her previously decisive and swift nature. Previously, this woman would not run to Yanjing over such a minor issue.

"Any problems?" Su Yanyu asked.

"No problem, I'll book the tickets immediately," Nalan Suqin replied promptly.

"Alright then! Manager Nalan, go pack your luggage, tonight we'll rush to Yanjing." Su Yanyu said sternly.

"Understood, President."

Nalan Suqin nodded, not asking further, then turned and left the office.

Once Nalan Suqin was gone, the spacious office was left with Su Yanyu alone, then her lips slightly curled into a delicate smile like a blooming flower, exceptionally beautiful.

Su Yanyu then carefully took out a secret investigation table she designed from under the desk, her slender finger pointing to the "Investigate Lin Fan" column, confidently saying, "I'm going to see what you're doing in Yanjing, I refuse to believe with my cleverness, I can't uncover your identity!"
