After dinner, Chen Fan drove back to Xiangshan Tan Mansion.
Not long after the car started, Chen Fan glanced at the rearview mirror.
Behind his car, a white Volkswagen was following at a distance. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't notice its presence at all.
Beep beep.
A special communicator rang.
He turned on his earpiece.
"King, there is a white Volkswagen a hundred meters behind your car, license plate number Hang A2578. It's been following you since you left Huancai!"
Chen Fan said, "I know!"
"Do you want to find an excuse to stop them from tracking you?"
The Magician's voice came through.
"Let him follow. Keep a close watch!"
The fish were starting to bite, and a playful smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips.
After entering Xiangshan Tan Mansion, the car naturally couldn't follow anymore.
Chen Fan waited for the result while reading a book in the villa.
As expected, an hour later, the communicator rang.
This time it was the Prophet's voice: "King, the ones tracking you are Snow Knight and Gentle Knight from the Storm Knights. These two are not weak, ranking in the top one hundred on the Dark List!"
"Their hideout has been confirmed, it's in a foreign apartment!"
"King, shall we make a move now and take them down?"
Chen Fan considered for a few seconds and said, "Not for now!"
"News that the Dragon-Patterned Compass is in your hands has already been spread by someone for us. It's said to be a family from the Xu clan!"
Xu Donglai?
Chen Fan was not surprised. He said, "Then spread more news, let them know of each other's existence. Also, let them know that local forces like the Xu family are also determined to obtain the Dragon-Patterned Compass, and their strength is far greater than theirs!"
"Understood, my King!"
"Finally, have the organization members gather at headquarters and stand by!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan's lips curled up.
Did those dark world forces think that Da Hua was a place they could come and go as they pleased?
It shouldn't be long before the net closes completely.
...
Central Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.
"Xibo, recover well. Don't think too much. Once Uncle Lou arrives, I will avenge you!"
"I've already asked the clan to send nearly a hundred experts!"
"I will take Chen Fan's life. I will not allow him to live in this world any longer!"
Xu Donglai held Xu Xicheng's hand and said by the hospital bed.
Xu Xicheng's mouth opened and closed, and he let out a weak voice: "Young Master... be careful!"
After rescue, Xu Xicheng's life was saved, but his martial arts were largely crippled, making it difficult for him to achieve anything further.
Patting Xu Xicheng's hand, Xu Donglai nodded tearfully and said, "Don't worry, this time, there will be no mistakes!"
One thing he didn't mention was that all the experts he had summoned were carrying firearms.
Firearms were prohibited in Da Hua, but for a family like the Xu family, this was clearly not a problem.
As long as it wasn't too outrageous, and not used in crowded places to cause panic, no one could do anything to the Xu family.
The sound of footsteps rang out.
The bodyguards guarding the door exclaimed, "Uncle Lou!"
"Elder Lou!"
A tall and burly figure strode into the intensive care unit. His physique was like a mountain, his bearing as deep as an abyss, and his eyes seemed to flash with electricity. A simple glance made one feel immense pressure.
Xu Xilou, the foremost martial arts master of the Xu family, had been obsessed with martial arts since childhood. He had integrated various martial arts, broken through the level of inner strength, and cultivated dark energy.
Xu Donglai turned his head, his face filled with surprise and joy. "Uncle Lou, weren't you supposed to arrive in two days? You're here today?"
Looking at Xu Xicheng, who was unable to move and had a pale face on the hospital bed, Xu Xilou's expression turned cold, and a murderous aura filled his eyes.
"Speed up the process and I came straight over!"
He said in a chilling tone, "Donglai, I watched you grow up. I thought you had tempered yourself and wouldn't have problems with your actions, but I didn't expect things to turn out this way?"
"Uncle Lou, I'm sorry!"
Xu Donglai lowered his head and said.
"You don't need to apologize to me!"
Xu Xilou said coldly, "You are the future head of the Xu family, you haven't wronged anyone. Even your Uncle Cheng, for the sake of the Xu family, wouldn't have any complaints about suffering such serious injuries!"
"But as the heir of the Xu family, you shouldn't have made such a mistake. You must have everything under control!"
"Yes, Uncle Lou, you are right to admonish me!"
Xu Donglai said without any displeasure.
Xu Xilou then walked to Xu Xicheng's side.
"Don't... blame Donglai..." Xu Xicheng murmured, defending Xu Donglai.
"Rest well. I'll bring that guy's head to see you!"
Xu Xilou grabbed Xu Xicheng's hand and felt his injuries with a flow of qi.
Even if his injuries healed, he would be severed from the path of martial arts!
A monstrous killing intent flashed in Xu Xilou's eyes.
This time, Xu Xicheng did not try to persuade him, but nodded.
Obviously, he had great faith in Xu Xilou's strength.
Xu Xilou didn't linger, and strode out of the ward.
Xu Donglai quickly followed.
"Where is that guy?"
Xu Xilou asked coldly.
"In... Xiangshan Tan Mansion!"
Xu Donglai said, "Uncle Lou, shall we go directly to his door?"
"No, let him come find me!"
Xu Xilou considered for a moment and said, "I've just traveled a long distance and need to adjust my state!"
"To be able to heavily injure Xicheng like this, that person's strength is not weak. I will not underestimate him. Bring him before me tomorrow, and I will personally kill him!"
Xu Donglai pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright!"
Xu Xilou didn't linger and walked towards the elevator.
Xu Donglai personally escorted him to Yishui Manor in the southern suburbs.
This manor was an industry of the local influential Lin family.
Considering the large number of people brought in and the presence of contraband, staying in a hotel would be too conspicuous. Xu Donglai bought this place at an exorbitant price as a base.
It was also convenient to accommodate Xu Xilou at the moment.
After settling Xu Xilou, Xu Donglai made a phone call and then had his subordinates drive him to a private club.
When he arrived, someone was already waiting in a VIP room.
"Young Master Xu!"
Seeing Xu Donglai, the well-dressed young man in the room stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Young Master Zhou, I need you to help me with something!"
"Young Master Xu, please speak!"
"Tomorrow, go and visit Miss Chen and bring her to Yishui Villa!"
Xu Donglai said.
Zhou Wenchao was stunned for a moment and said, "Young Master Xu thinks too highly of me. I can't invite Miss Chen!"
The Zhou family was also one of the local influential families, slightly inferior to the Wen and Lin families, but not bad.
However, recently, Chen Xing'er had been rarely seeing guests, as if she were only in Hangjiang for a vacation. He might not be able to invite Chen Xing'er.
"You can invite her!"
Xu Donglai placed a few photos in front of Zhou Wenchao and said, "This item is called a fragment of the Dragon-Patterned Compass. Your Zhou family possesses one!"
"This fragment was accidentally acquired by your ancestor during a period of war. Its origin and purpose have always been unknown. You heard that Miss Chen obtained a piece a few days ago, and you intend to give it to Miss Chen!"
Xu Donglai said sinisterly, "However, there will be some promises and conditions involved. I would like to ask Miss Chen to come to Yishui Villa to have a chat with your elders!"
Zhou Wenchao's expression turned shocked, "Young Master Xu, what... are you trying to do?"
"Where is Young Master Zhou's mind going?" Xu Donglai smiled. "I wouldn't harm Miss Chen. It's just that I wanted to acquire this item from Miss Chen the day before yesterday, but I was refused. I want to have a good chat with Miss Chen!"
Zhou Wenchao's expression changed back and forth.
"Young Master Zhou, the matter is actually very simple. If you're unwilling, I'll find other friends!"
"However, we have dealt with each other, and you know my character. I am loyal to my friends, but to my enemies..."
"I guarantee with my head that Miss Chen will be fine. It's just a chat. After this is done, we will cooperate fully. You have two older brothers, and you are not as outstanding as them. You need to achieve something, don't you?"
Zhou Wenchao slowly nodded, "Alright!"
