Chapter 344 Jiangnan Treasure Appraisal Society, the last straw
Ye Fan's face gradually darkened and he raised his head to look at the great elder.
Seeing Ye Fan like this, the elder was slightly startled. He looked at Ye Fan without knowing why and asked, "Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
The two of them were talking and laughing just now, why did Ye Fan's expression suddenly change?
But Ye Fan sighed: "Great Elder, Ye has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
Ye Fan's face was serious, and there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.
The Great Elder was stunned again. He knew Ye Fan. If it wasn't an important matter, he would definitely not have such an expression.
However, they share weal and woe and understand each other too much.
To say it is intimate is not an exaggeration.
Smiling slightly, "If you want to be honest, there is no need to worry about anything between you and me."
Great Elder, this is true.
Hearing what the great elder said, Ye Fan nodded.
"Great Elder, the counterfeiting factory I destroyed this time was the property placed by the Tianwang Mansion in the Feng family, and I also had trouble with the Tianwang Mansion in Tianbao Pavilion before. Therefore, now my opponents are not only the Feng family, but also the Feng family.
There is the Heavenly King's Mansion, once I start a war with the Heavenly King's Mansion, how should the Great Elder choose?"
After all, the Feng family is a powerful force in the Heavenly Palace. If Ye Fan goes to war with the Heavenly Palace, it will naturally be difficult for the Wang family to be caught in the middle.
But Ye Fan must know the great elder's choice.
After all, this is not a trivial matter, but a bet with your life.
Ye Fan has already experienced the horror of Tianwang Mansion. Whether it is Tianbao Pavilion or Mr. Bai, anyone else would not dare to compete with them. However, Ye Fan has already stood on the opposite side of them. At this stop,
It is inevitable.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Fan's words, the great elder's face darkened and he frowned.
It's really hard to choose.,
As a member of the Heavenly King's Mansion, the Great Elder is very aware of the strength of the Heavenly King's Mansion.
With Ye Fan's current strength alone, if he wanted to face off against the Heavenly King's Mansion, there would be no chance of victory.
If the First Elder chooses Ye Fan, it will be like taking a huge gamble with the entire Wang family.
But if you choose Tianwang Mansion, perhaps the Wang family will lose an excellent opportunity to rise.
Comparing the two, no matter which choice you make, it carries great risks.
Ye Fan did not rush the elder, but drank tea quietly.
This matter is difficult for anyone to make a decision about.
After a while, the elder suddenly smiled, and the wrinkles on his old cheeks gradually dispersed.
"Ye Fan, my Wang family has been standing in Jiangnan City for more than a hundred years, but in these hundred years, it has only been able to establish a firm foothold in Jiangnan City. Do you know why?"
Ye Fan smiled but said nothing.
"It's because the ancestors of the Wang family all followed a group motto: just accept it when it's good and don't take risks."
"It is this ancestral precept that makes the Wang family huddle in a small place like Jiangnan City and dare not expand outward at all, because the Wang family is afraid of death and afraid that what they have gained will be lost."
"The old man is now over sixty years old, and there is not much time left. In his lifetime, he has only one wish, and that is to let the Wang family get out of Jiangnan City, even if it is just to extend their influence into Hangzhou."
The great elder's gaze became deeper and deeper, and even his cheeks were stained with a touch of coldness.
Ye Fan looked at the great elder quietly without saying anything.
He already understood what the Great Elder said and became even more aware of the Great Elder's choice.
"Originally, I thought I would never have such an opportunity again in this life, because today's Jiangnan City is run like a railway. The City Lord's Palace, the Antique Association, and the Heavenly King's Palace are all restricting each other. If any one wants to grow bigger,
There was no way to start, so I gave up."
The great elder smiled to himself.
"But until I met you, I once again ignited the hope in my heart. You have the means, ability, courage, and carefulness. In just half a month, the Feng family became the target of public criticism. Therefore, I want to make a bet.
If this bet wins, the Wang family can become the largest family in Jiangnan City and be able to control the whole family.
The power has expanded to other places.”
The great elder stared at Ye Fan with bright eyes.
After speaking out what was in his heart, the great elder felt more relaxed.
Ye Fan nodded, but still smiled and said, "But what if we lose the bet? So what? Wouldn't the wealth that the Wang family has built up over the past century be wasted?"
But the elder smiled and shook his head: "Even if they lose the bet, the descendants of the Wang family still have a chance to rise. Isn't that what happens in the world? It goes around and around again. If they have the ability, they can definitely recreate the glory of the family.
, If you don’t have the ability, even if you give them gold and silver, they will be defeated sooner or later. Instead of doing this, it is better to let them know how difficult life is now.”
"Well, you are indeed a great elder, admirable."
The great elder's words made Ye Fan admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Only with such wise men can a big family develop in the long run.
"In this case, I wish us success."
Ye Fan picked up the tea cup, made a toast gesture to the elder, and then drank all the tea in the cup.
The great elder smiled and drank all the water in the tea cup.
"To be honest, City Lord Li has ordered me to take over the position of captain of the law enforcement team, and the current captain of the law enforcement team, Lu Liang, has a close relationship with me. The reason why we were able to successfully eradicate the Feng family's counterfeiting factory this time is because of Lu Liang's
relation."
It was only then that Ye Fan completely trusted the Great Elder.
Ye Fan's words once again stunned the elder.
He was still wondering before, where did Ye Fan get the power to destroy the counterfeiting factory when he first arrived?
He had also heard about the Feng family's counterfeiting factory. Although it was only a small factory, it had a lot of thugs to protect it, just to prevent anyone from making trouble.
It is really puzzling that Ye Fan killed those people so easily.
Now, he finally understood that it was because of Lu Liang.
The elder Lu Liang knew that the second-in-command in Jiangnan City was second only to City Master Li. Unexpectedly, he had an irreconcilable relationship with Ye Fan. This was shocking.
After a long time, the great elder sighed deeply.
"Brother Ye, to be honest, you are the most elusive person I have ever met. From the first time I met you, I couldn't understand you. Now, after knowing you for so long, I think I have already understood you.
I understand you very well, but at the moment, it seems that I still don’t see you clearly, you have really surprised me too much.”
Regarding the Great Elder's reaction, Ye Fan just smiled slightly.
He has a character that likes to hide himself.
What's more, although they had formed an alliance with the Great Elder before, they had not yet reached the point of complete trust. Naturally, he would not be foolish enough to reveal all his trump cards.
"The Great Elder is serious. I am just a treasure appraiser."
With a smile on his lips, Ye Fan pretended to be humble.
"You? Treasure appraiser?"
