Looking at Ye Fan's deep gaze and cold expression, Ji Lao sighed.

He knew Ye Fan's character and would never give up easily once he made a decision.

On the side, Shen Tianyin looked at Ye Fan lovingly, raised her hand, and slowly took his big hand.

"No matter what you do, I will support you, but you must protect yourself, I will not allow you to be harmed."

This was the first time she said such affectionate words to Ye Fan.

Looking at Shen Tianyin's worried eyes and tender face, Ye Fan smiled and nodded, holding her hand tightly.

Seeing the two of them chatting with each other, Ji Lao rolled his eyes at them helplessly and coughed lightly.

"Should I leave first and come back after you two are sweet and sweet?"

Faced with the behavior of the two people, Ji Lao really felt that he was superfluous.

Two red clouds suddenly rose on Shen Tianyin's face, burning. She let go of Ye Fan's hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at Mr. Ji.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, was thick-skinned and smiled and said to Ji Lao, "Ji Lao is too disrespectful to be an elder. Why are you involved in the affairs of our young people?"

Looking at Mr. Ji angrily, Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him.

Ji Lao smiled bitterly, but got back to the topic: "In addition to the Liu family, the Dark Alliance also has three other families, namely the Zhao family, the Wu family, and the Wang family. These three families have also been developing in Jiangcheng for hundreds of years. They are deeply rooted and have extremely rich heritage. Deep down, the four major families of the Dark Alliance usually quarrel with each other. On the surface, they are calm, but secretly they attack each other and want to snatch each other's interests. However, once a big event happens, the four major families will join forces to fight against the enemy together. This is also the reason why even though some people are dissatisfied with the Dark Alliance over the years, they have never been able to deal with them."

Ji Lao is a native of Jiangcheng, so he knows more about the situation in Jiangcheng than many people know.

Four major families?

The corner of Ye Fan's mouth curled up into a sneer. Such an alliance seemed solid, but when danger was truly encountered, the alliance would collapse in an instant.

"Do you have any idea?"

Seeing Ye Fan's expression, Mr. Ji quickly asked in a low voice.

Ye Fan smiled and said nothing. There is a way, but he can't say it yet. When the time comes, they will know it.

The three of them ate the meal very slowly and did not leave until the afternoon.

Tianyin Pavilion also had to participate in the treasure appraisal conference, so Shen Tianyin and Ji Lao went back to prepare.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, went home to have a look.

Time passed by and the treasure appraisal conference finally began.

This treasure appraisal conference will rank various antique organizations in Jiangcheng.

This is officially certified, so no antique organization takes it seriously.

After all, once you rank high, your business will definitely flourish in the future.

Ye Fan walked in slowly with Sun Yilang and Ye Xuanxuan. The venue was very large and could easily accommodate all the antique forces in Jiang City.

Shen Tianyin had arrived a long time ago. When he saw Ye Fan and others coming in, he and Mr. Ji quickly came to greet them.

"I heard that even City Lord Lin was present at this treasure appraisal conference in person. This scale is unprecedented."

Shen Tianyin lowered her voice and whispered to Ye Fan.

Is Lin Yue coming back too? Ye Fan was slightly startled, then sneered: "Yes, he must be coming, because he wants to see how much trouble there is going to be here today."

"What did you say?" Ye Fan muttered in a low voice. Shen Tianyin didn't hear clearly and asked in confusion.

Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

This time, he didn't want to involve Shen Tianyin. After all, even he didn't have much confidence this time.

Once the plan fails, not only will you be implicated, but your loved ones around you may also be implicated.

Seeing that Ye Fan didn't seem to want to say anything, Shen Tianyin was too sensible and didn't continue to ask.

"Brother Ye."

Jiang Zhitao saw Ye Fan here and hurried over to say hello excitedly.

Seeing Jiang Zhitao coming over, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Are you coming over too?"

The Jiang family has a high status in Jiangcheng and has several antique industries under its name, so Ye Fan is not surprised that Jiang Zhitao comes over.

"Follow me. No error updates@(This chapter is not finished!)

Chapter 172 Holding my hand, I will follow you

I came here and brought some treasure appraisers with me."

Jiang Zhitao smiled, then leaned in front of Ye Fan and whispered in his ear: "I heard that you and the Liu family are having a head-on confrontation. I specially brought a few more treasure appraisers. This time, no matter what, I can't let the Liu family succeed. .”

He has a lawless character, and this time it is Ye Fan who is in trouble, so he will not sit idly by.

Patting Jiang Zhitao's shoulder, Ye Fan smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

Knowing Jiang Zhitao's character, saying too much would be too intrusive, so Ye Fan did not express his gratitude too much.

Pulling Jiang Zhitao aside, Ye Fan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and whispered to Jiang Zhitao: "The Jiang family was also involved in the counterfeit selling price last time. However, I did not continue to pursue the case. When you go back, tell the Jiang family that you will never do such ridiculous things in the antique shop again, otherwise, no matter who it is, I will never let him go."

Although it was not mentioned who did this in the Jiang family, Jiang Zhitao was not a fool and had already made a guess in his mind.

Seeing Ye Fan's firm gaze, Jiang Zhitao sighed: "Brother Ye, I have told my family a long time ago, and my father personally promised me that he will carry forward the Jiang family step by step in the future."

Seeing Jiang Zhitao say this, Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction.

If Jiang Bo can really do this in the future, then he will not have to take action against the Jiang family.

Many antique forces in Jiangcheng came to the scene one after another.

Among these people, there were some whom Ye Fan knew, and some whom he did not know, but compared with today's Boguzhai and Tianyin Pavilion, these people were obviously inferior.

But Zheng Zhilong personally received them, which made these people feel honored.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong chatting happily with these people, Ye Fan shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph, what's the air? Isn't it just a dog from the city lord's mansion?"

Jiang Zhitao took a sip and said with disdain.

At this time, Liu Piaoxu finally arrived, followed by several young people, but she didn't even bring a treasure appraiser with her.

This woman is very confident. On such an important occasion, she did not bring a treasure appraiser, which shows her confidence.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Seeing Ye Fan looking at him in surprise, Liu Piaoxu frowned and asked.

Ye Fan smiled and shook his head: "No, I just feel that your style is unique, but it is in line with your personality."

The smile on Ye Fan's face grew stronger.

After taking a look at Mr. Sun and Mr. Ji behind Shen Tianyin, Liu Piaoxu quickly understood what Ye Fan meant, and couldn't help but give him a blank look.                                                                                                                                                                                        .

"I am a treasure appraiser myself, so why do I need to bring others here? Besides, it's just a treasure appraisal conference held by the Antiques Association. I'm not the protagonist, so why do I need to make a big deal about it?"

It seems that nothing is a big deal in this woman's eyes.

Ye Fan couldn't help but admire this peaceful state of mind.

But at this moment, a strange voice sounded.

"I didn't expect that a traitor from my Liu family would dare to appear here."
