Whoosh whoosh whoosh!


    Ye Fan paid no attention to Qi Jiao. His hands, wielding the silver needle, swiftly pierced through Old Master Qi''s skin, using the Qi Force to form a barrier within his body and keeping the toxins from reaching his heart vessels!


    This way, although the toxins in Qi Debang''s body would still take effect, at least it wouldn''t immediately kill him!


    "Brother, aren''t you being a bit unfair here? Picking on a girl and an old man, what kind of skill is that?"


    "Yeah! You''re just poking around with a needle, do you think you''re Hua Tuo reincarnated? These days, scammers are getting really good at putting on a show, everyone, let''s get together and... draw a circle to curse him. In broad daylight, we absolutely can''t let this scum succeed!"


    "Let go of the old man, or we''re calling the police!"


    As the surrounding crowd began to clamor, those onlookers actually raised whatever was in their hands—wrenches, walking sticks, and even watermelons—ready to strike at Ye Fan at any moment!


    "You bunch of idiots, big brother is saving the old master, are you blind?" Wang Fugui was already fuming with anger, but seeing these clueless people around him, his rage boiled over, "Believe it or not, I''ll smash your faces with one punch!"


    "Look... he''s getting anxious, they''re getting anxious!"


    "Death to the scammer!"


    "Death to the scammer!"


    Seeing that the scene was about to spiral out of control, Ye Fan frowned and swept a glance through the crowd.


    He noticed that among the people, besides the duck-billed hat man who had left earlier, there were several other individuals with suspicious appearances hiding among the onlookers.


    And when it came to stirring up the crowd, they were the most enthusiastic!


    Hmph!


    So they''re a gang that commits crimes together!


    Poisoning Elder Qi couldn''t be as simple as what met the eye, could it?


    The only thing about the Qi Family worth the attention of outsiders was the control over the base, and these guys were probably after that!


    While Wang Fugui was about to take action, Ye Fan held him back with a hand and turned to look at Qi Jiao.


    Qi Jiao, pinned under Ye Fan''s foot against the pillar, had her face deformed by the pressure, and her chest was also...


    Yelling exasperatedly, Qi Jiao finally couldn''t take it anymore, "I''m gonna explode!" Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire


    "Ah!"


    After a delicate shout, a faint golden light emerged all over Qi Jiao. In the next moment, Qi Jiao actually used her head to directly break the pillar thick as an embrace.


    Ye Fan glanced around; Yu Qiang was no longer there. "How''s the situation with Minister Yu Qiang?"


    When Ye Fan had given the old man the acupuncture treatment earlier, he had sent a message to Yu Qiang to track down the man in the duckbill cap who had fled.


    "We have a fix on him, but haven''t made a move yet, waiting for your order, big brother!"


    Ye Fan nodded, glanced at the crowd behind him, "You''ve noticed those suspicious people in the crowd, right? Send someone to capture them all, and take them to the Qi Family. There might be another good show soon!"


    "Yes!"


    Guo Li responded and signaled to the men behind him. Several agile figures swiftly disappeared into the crowd.


    After Ye Fan left, many among the crowd that had been watching dispersed, but some remained.


    "Young lady, are you okay? I didn''t expect you to be so strong! Let me tell you, you shouldn''t have gone easy on him just now. A swindler like that should have been smashed to death on the spot!"


    "Yeah, seeing how fit your grandpa looks, how could he seem sick? Sigh, people nowadays are always looking for shortcuts."


    Those few tucked away in the crowd, who were secretly inciting and adding fuel to the fire, seeing that their effect had been achieved, began to leave the scene, merging into distant alleys to make their escape.


    But as soon as they entered the alleyway, they were met with black hoods over their heads, which were pulled down over them before they were knocked unconscious.


    Not a single one escaped!


    Back at the square, Qi Jiao assertively placed the column back into the ground, then took Old Master Qi Debang''s hand, "Grandpa, let''s go!"


    Qi Debang, who had been enjoying a candied haw on a stick, suddenly became rigid, then clutched his chest in agony!


    With a spurt, Qi Debang spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, as if a faucet had burst, shocking in its sheer volume!


    Then, Qi Debang''s body slumped to the ground, convulsing violently, foaming at the mouth, his body twisting and contorting, emitting a chilling cackle.


    "Ah... Grandpa, what''s wrong with you? Grandpa, don''t scare me please! Grandpa, what''s happening to you?" Qi Jiao''s face turned purple with fright. She quickly squatted down to support her grandfather, her wrists trembling. Seeing her grandpa''s condition, Qi Jiao''s mind raced back to Ye Fan''s words.


    Blood spurting, convulsing, frothing at the mouth...


    Wasn''t this exactly what Ye Fan had described?


    Had grandpa really been poisoned?


    Damn it!


    What was going on?


    Go home?


    Ye Fan said if we didn''t want grandpa to die, we should hurry home?
