Chapter 749: Secret Mission (Part 1)

selves. Their firepower would be stronger, and their methods more ruthless. If ordinary people were cornered like this, they could easily imagine the consequences.However, what puzzled Ye Fan was that...As autumn deepened, withered branches littered the ground. A gust of wind sent a shiver through the air, raising a cloud of rustling leaves and casting a melancholy pall over the scene.

Ye Fan couldn't believe that the person in front of him was actually Ye Wu Ming, the head of the Ye family. He was his uncle's cousin, and because his uncle took good care of himself, he didn't look much older than fifty now. But this Ye Wu Ming already had a full head of white hair. Compared to when Ye Fan first met Ye Wu Ming, he looked much more withered and old.

Ye Fan didn't know what was going on in his heart at this time. A certain part deep within him seemed to have been touched, and he knew that if the old man were here right now, he would probably be crying with tears of joy...

Family A word suddenly came to Ye Fan's mind. Standing before him was his family! If he followed the seniority, he should call him grandfather...

Looking at the old man's room, it was filled with all kinds of medical equipment, and his body was filled with tubes. There was also an oxygen tank beside him.

He's already this sick This shocked Ye Fan.

When someone came in, the doctor in the house stood up and said, "The old man's condition is not very stable, he is very weak. You guys tell him lies, best not to exceed five minutes."

This doctor is the best private physician in Yanjing hired by the Ye family. He has deep expertise in cardiovascular diseases. These days, thanks to his tireless care for Ye Wuming day and night, otherwise, Ye Wuming might not have survived until now.

The crowd watched the emaciated Ye Wuming with heavy hearts. This elderly man, who was now clearly more exhaling than inhaling, was a mere husk of his former self, regardless of how glorious or powerful he once was. Now, he was just a dying old man!

Hearing the sound, Ye Wuming opened his eyes and saw everyone coming to see him. Especially when he saw Ye Fan, his eyes lit up instantly, and a blush appeared on his face unconsciously. He struggled to sit up and said excitedly, "Ye Fan, you're here"

Ye Fan caught Ye Wuming before he fell to the ground in front of Ye Mian City. He helped him sit down, and suddenly realized that at this moment, he felt no hatred for the old man anymore, only deep sympathy.

"Wei Lao Di, thank you. You brought Ye Fan back to the Ye family." Ye Wuming's eyes were filled with tears.

Wei Lao felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak.

"You guys go out first. I want to talk to Ye Fan alone for a few words." Ye Wuming said with difficulty.

Everyone quietly walked out the door. Ye Qingcheng worriedly looked at his grandfather, knowing what he wanted to say, but he was afraid his grandfather's body wouldn't be able to handle it.

Ye Wuming waved his hand, and Ye Qingcheng also silently walked out, closing the door.

"Xiao Fan, come sit over here." Ye Wu Ming struggled to sit up and leaned against the bed.

Ye Fan quickly handed over a pillow, making him more comfortable. Under Ye Wuming's pleading eyes, Ye Fan sat down in front of Ye Wuming.

"Counting it up, you're also a grandson of our Ye family. Can you call me grandpa" Ye Wuming looked at Ye Fan longingly, his eyes no longer holding the sharpness of a patriarch, but rather the doting look an elder has for their younger generation.

"Grandpa…" Ye Fan thought for a moment, and finally called out. What he hadn't expected was that after many years, he had returned to the Ye family.

"Good, good..." Ye Wu was visibly happy, but his expression dimmed suddenly. "It's just that in this last leg of the journey, I didn't hear Wudao call me 'brother.' I feel uneasy about it!"

The voice was filled with endless sorrow, making one feel deeply heartbroken.

When a man is about to die, his words are good; when a bird is about to die, its cry is mournful.

Ye Fan knew that only now would what Ye Wuming said be the truth.

"Xiao Fan, I'm not going to have much time left. Can you promise me one thing" Ye Wuming suddenly looked at Ye Fan and pleaded.

"You tell me, if I can do it, I'll do my best."

Ye Fan suddenly felt that Ye Wuming was actually just a pitiful person. He had spent his whole life being weighed down by the Ye family's agriculture. To be honest, he had never lived a normal life. His tragedy was inevitable because he grew up in a big family and had to put the interests of the family first. Sometimes, even the decisions he made were not what he truly wanted, but what best served the family's interests. So, he had no choice but to do so.

Ye Fan suddenly felt grateful to the old man. If the old man hadn't gone to Lishan himself that year, he might have grown up in such a big family and would have been more or less influenced by these families. Now, his life probably would have been completely different.

"The Ye family is in turmoil now. Originally, A-Cheng was the designated heir apparent, but A-Da returned from America at his father's instigation to challenge his older brother. It was my fault; I was soft-hearted and couldn't make a decision to put this matter down immediately. Now they have influence and are said to be closely associated with the Yan family. But I am no longer capable of dealing with them. Moreover, with the upcoming change of leadership, our Ye family absolutely cannot fall into disarray at this time. However, if I step down, they will definitely attack A-Cheng. All I hope is that after I leave, you can return to the Ye family and help A-Cheng!" Ye Wuming gasped for breath after saying so much, but he still held Ye Fan's hand tightly, his eyes filled with a glimmer of longing.

Ye Fan felt a tinge of sadness. He knew about the Ye family's affairs to some extent. The fact that Ye Shouyi and his son, Ye Qingda, colluded with the Yan family was no secret. However, Ye Fan hadn't expected that Old Master Ye wouldn't take action against them despite their positions. Now that they had established their power base, it would be difficult to take them down, as their intentions were strong but their strength insufficient. Moreover, now was not the time for internal strife.

Since I've already promised Lao Wei, I might as well help him out! Besides, Ye Qingcheng has helped me a lot these days in Yanjing. This way, it evens things out between us.

In the Xia Kingdom, favors between people are the hardest to repay. Ye Fan didn't want to owe anyone favors.

Ye Fan said, “Don’t worry, Ye Qingcheng is also my brother. I won’t let anything happen to him.”

They were indeed brothers, as of today.

Ye Wuming looked at Ye Fan, feeling very pleased. In fact, Ye Fan being the head of the family was the best choice, but...

Ye Fan suddenly said: “By the way, Grandpa, I want to ask you something. Back when Wu Tianying was still the commander of the Seventh Army, he once issued an order to Xiao Jie, who was still a special forces soldier at the time, to carry out a secret mission in South Africa. Have you ever heard of this”Luo XueyanYe Fan's heart sank. Luo Xueyan had already woken up, so why hadn't she left yetThe maidservant who came from the Ye clan saw Ye Fan staring blankly, a sudden fierceness flashed in her heart...
