It seemed as though they had both thought of something, and Wei Lao and Ye Fan fell silent.

。The two of them sat in silence, each drinking their tea. 。Taking a sip of this tea, Ye Fan remembered his grandfather's strong back and his righteous voice once again. 。But perhaps Old Wei brewing this cup of tea for him had a special meaning. 。Ye Wudao could shake the very foundations of Hua Xia with his might. As Ye Wudao's most prized grandson, Ye Fan would never be a coward. 。It seems that there are still some people who want to stir up the current situation. 。Wei Lao intentionally mentioned that if this matter were investigated, the fates of many families would be changed. 。It seems that these upper-echelon figures also hope for the current family to undergo a reorganization. 。This cup of tea, it's so meaningful. 。Just as Ye Fan had just put down his teacup, outside the study, there came three light knocks on the door. 。Come in <<< 。Wei Lao frowned slightly and said: 。The door to Wei Lao's study was pushed open, and his secretary walked in, then leaned into Wei Lao's ear and whispered a few words. 。Okay, I understand. 。Hearing what the secretary had said, Old Wei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he nodded, saying, 。Having said that, he motioned for his secretary to leave. 。However, as the secretary was about to reach the door, 。Old Wei spoke again: “Lao Xing, you arrange a few rooms. Xiao Fan and the others will stay here for a while.” 。Also, I will be playing two games of chess with Ye Jia's kid later. Could you prepare for that? 。The secretary, Lao Xing, nodded and then left the room. 。After he left, Lao Wei smiled faintly: “Smelly boy, it seems your arrival has attracted the attention of quite a few big shots.” 。"What's wrong?" Seeing Lao Wei's meaningful expression, Ye Fan asked curiously. 。“Even Liu Shiqi was alarmed.” 。"Wei Lao sipped his tea while faintly smiling." 。Yet Ye Fan's heart stirred. 。Liu Shiqi, he is too familiar. 。Several years ago, like Wei Lao, I was also one of the nine core figures in the empire. 。And as for Lao Liu, because he was also a leader in the top-level department, his rank was even ahead of Lao Wei. 。Although he stepped down like Mr. Wei, his influence still exists. 。At the same time, he was also the head of the Liu family. 。The Liu family, in the Hua Xia Empire, is also a powerful clan that holds significant influence in the business world. 。Especially during Liu Shiqi's time in office, a solid foundation was laid for the family. 。The Liu family's business tentacles have spread throughout the Xia Dynasty, and even extended to many countries abroad. 。But, why would he alarm Liu Shiqi? To Liu Shiqi, Ye Fan was just someone who knew his name, but mostly a stranger. 。What was that fascinating expression on Old Wei's face?"Liu Shiqi came to Yanjing by private jet today..." 。"Old Wei put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a serious face: "Boy, don't underestimate Liu Shiqi's power." 。Although he has stepped down, his influence remains. 。Especially his several disciples, who are now in charge of some important departments of the empire. 。Especially in the financial sector, it's basically all about the Liu family. 。"Speaking of this, Old Wei paused for a moment, seeming to feel the need to remind Ye Fan a few more words, then continued, "After retiring, Old Liu basically hasn't come to Beijing anymore." 。Except when the new emperor ascended to the throne, he had come. 。This unexpected stopover in Beijing must have something to do with you, wouldn't you say? 。"

Ye Fan frowned, he didn't understand why he would alarm such a figure.

" 。In my heart, I had already vaguely guessed what. 。"This time, the little fat man has caused such a stir in Beijing that many elders are quite angry." 。"Wei Lao let out a cold snort and continued, "Originally, they all thought that the little fat guy would take action against the Sun family and the Xia family, and then use this opportunity to suppress him." 。Who knew that the little fat guy, after that, wouldn't do anything else and just spent every day playing chess with me? 。Let those elders pay their respects and prepare a ceremony. 。This time you came to Beijing, I'm afraid it's also because you and Fatty want to do something. 。Ye Fan looked at Elder Wei and smiled wryly. He hadn't even done anything yet, and these bigwigs were already on high alert. 。...one can imagine that delving deep into the events of that year would cause quite a stir. 。However, no matter how great the force standing in his way, it couldn't stop his strides and determination in investigating the matter. 。It seems like there's going to be another good show. 。However, Wei Lao merely smiled faintly. 。He raised his head and looked meaningfully at Ye Fan, saying, "Boy, to be cared for by such big figures is your fortune." 。You young fella, don't let us old timers down! 。After finishing, Lao Wei smiled and stood up from his seat. Holding a teacup in his hand, he walked outside while smiling and saying: "Come on, accompany this old man to play a few rounds." 。It's been a long time since we last played chess, you little rascal. Let's see if you've improved at all. 。When his voice trailed off, he was already at the door. 。Ye Fan also stood up with his teacup, but after hearing his words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye. 。Back then, when I played chess with Old Wei, I got beaten quite a few times. 。These years I've played chess very little, it seems today I can't escape being beaten again. 。Well, if it came to a fistfight, probably one hundred Wei Laos wouldn't be a match for him. 。Xiangqi, indeed, is a weakness...

Although he knew he was inferior, he still followed. 。You know, in the entire Chinese empire, there weren't many people who could play chess with Old Wei. 。In this situation, Ye Fan also wants more help. 。Since Old Wei wants to bolster himself, that's all the better. 。By the time the two of them arrived at a large entertainment room, old secretary Lao Xing had already set up the chessboard and prepared quite a few snacks. 。And the fat man, who had also heard the news, was already waiting on one side. 。At this moment, he was happily munching on a drumstick in his hand. Seeing Ye Fan walking out with Elder Wei, he immediately stood up, still chewing chicken meat in his mouth, and mumbled somewhat indistinctly: "You're finally here" 。Hurry hurry hurry, the chessboard is set up! It's been ages since I've seen masters go head-to-head. 。。" Following behind Elder Wei, Ye Fan heard the fat man's words and wished he could kick him. 。But Old Wei just chuckled a few times and said, "There's a bet involved, you know." 。Who lost and who helped my father? I'll go to Mount Li to get some good tea. 。"

"Bang!"

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

" 。Lao Wei, Lao Wei, so you were thinking this way all along! 。Hey, making tea is fine, anyway, Old Ye definitely has stock somewhere. 。But, Lao Wei, you won't have it easy from now on. Just wait to wipe my ass for me more often! 。Ye Fan was complaining to himself while casting several glances at Elder Wei. 。"Why don't we go to a gambling den?" Just then, Fatty put down the drumstick in his hand and excitedly waved his greasy, fat hands, a mischievous smile on his face...
