"Master!" At that moment, First Elder saw Yan Yu's body sway as if he would fall at any time. First Elder was so frightened that he hurried forward to support him.
"I'm fine." Yan Yu waved his hand and asked First Elder to step back. He didn't like people getting close to him. He couldn't stand anyone else getting close to him except for Yan Yu. He couldn't stand it if it was someone else. "Investigate this matter thoroughly. I want to know what's going on!"
Yan Yu would be fine. He knew Yan Yu's skills very well. Didn't Yan Yu say that he would come back? He would definitely come back. He didn't need to do anything. He just needed to trust him and wait for him to come back!
And now, Yan Yu's strange calmness made the Great Elder even more worried. If Yan Yu really did something dangerous, then perhaps the Great Elder would feel more at ease. After venting his anger, the Patriarch would slowly wake up. However, Yan Yu's strange calmness made others unable to comfort him.
"Master, are you … okay?" After observing for a long time, he found that Yan Yu's expression had even eased. This situation was really strange. Did Master not care about Yan Yu?
As soon as this thought appeared, it was suppressed by the Great Elder. It was impossible for the Patriarch to not care about Yan. During this period of time, everyone clearly saw that every time Yan went out to carry out a mission, the Patriarch would be restless. How could all of this be faked?
"I'm fine. Ask the subordinates to investigate what happened this time. I don't think it was an accident." Yan Yu waved his hand and asked First Elder to step back. However, when First Elder walked to the door, he heard Yan Yu muttering to himself in a low voice, "How can something happen to me? I promised Yan Yu that I would wait for him to come back. If he comes back and sees that I'm not doing well, he will be angry."
His voice was a little silly, but it was unusually heartbreaking.
Now First Elder understood that Master didn't care. He was forcing himself to believe that Yan Yu was fine. However, did Yan Yu really have a chance to survive such a serious explosion?
"First Elder, Master, he …" There were several people waiting outside the door. In fact, they didn't want to tell Master about Yan Yu. This kind of thing could be kept a secret for as long as possible. They all knew how important Yan Yu was to Master. Now that Yan Yu had died in this mission, how could Master accept it?
Cong Yan had gone on a mission, so the patriarch was thinking about their wedding alone. He was waiting for Cong Yan to come back and hold the wedding. That kind of eager look made everyone who saw it understand the importance of Cong Yan in the patriarch's heart. Now that that person was gone, would the patriarch really not collapse?
"Master … doesn't seem to believe that Yan Yu is dead." First Elder smiled bitterly and shook his head. He could understand Master. If he was in Master's position, he wouldn't believe it either. "Let's disperse now. Go and investigate who's behind this. It's impossible for all of our spies to be taken out in a day. There must be a conspiracy. As for Master … at least we don't have to worry about him now. Before we find Yan Yu's body, Master won't do anything to hurt himself."
Thinking of Yan Yu's reaction just now, the First Elder was a little absent-minded. They were too similar. Even the current Patriarch's reaction was more intense than the previous Patriarch's. If it was really confirmed that Yan Yu was no longer around, regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with the previous Patriarch, he would have to be buried with Yan Yu.
After all … if it wasn't for his idea, Yan Yu wouldn't have met with an accident. Some people really dug their own graves.
Perhaps it was because of Yan Yu's constant companionship that Master's gentle demeanor made everyone misunderstand his nature. Now that his most important person was plotted against, he wouldn't be Master if he didn't do anything.
"First Elder, we understand. We will definitely find out the truth in the shortest time possible." As for Yan Yu's matter, it was best not to tell Master about it. He might not be able to take it.
"You may leave. No matter what you find out, don't hide it from Master. After all …" After all, that person was the person Master cared about the most. If they hid something from him, Master would definitely be able to tell. By then …
Although the person who hid it from him had good intentions, Master might not appreciate it.
The few of them looked at each other and finally nodded. No matter what, since First Elder had said so, they would do as he said.
"I hope Master can pull through." Although First Elder also hoped that Yan Yu could return safely, they all knew that it was basically impossible. Who had the ability to survive a huge explosion?
At this moment, the entire Yan Family was active, trying to find out the truth of this incident.
Yan Fan, who had been waiting for the news of Yan Yu's breakdown, couldn't sit still anymore. The news was really tight these few days. There were a few times when he was almost found out. Although he made use of the people around him to divert the attention of the Yan Family, he knew that it would be fine if it happened once or twice. If it happened too many times, the Yan Family would start to suspect him.
"Master, I'm afraid this matter is not going to be easy." Master Bai looked at Yan Fan who was sitting on the main seat and felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that he could reach the sky with the help of Master Bai and Master Yan, but now it seemed that it wasn't a shortcut at all. It was a dead end!
No one expected Master Bai to be so bold. In order to seize everything in the Yan Family, he actually dared to attack the secret guard of Master Yan.
"Not easy, not easy. What else can you say other than not easy? Useless thing!" Right now, Yan Fan's heart was in a mess when he looked at everyone. He was worried that someone would find out about this matter. If Yan Yu found out, then … …
Moreover, it would be fine if only Yan Yu knew about it. Even if Yan Yu died in his hands, he wasn't afraid. He was afraid that the Yan Family would find out that he was the mastermind.
One had to know that the Yan Family hated betrayal the most. Once the Yan Family found out that he was the one who picked the secret guards, he wouldn't be able to become the Master of the Yan Family even if Yan Yu died.
"Master, should we hide outside the country first and come back when the situation is not so tense?" This was the best idea that Master Bai could think of. Now, the Yan Family was like a mad dog. They wouldn't let go of the slightest clue!
"Hide, hide, hide. Why should I hide? As long as I get through this, I will be the Master of the Yan Family when Yan Yu says so. Why should I hide?" Although Yan Fan understood that Master Bai's words made sense, he couldn't let go of the power that was about to be in his hands!
Looking at the stubborn Master, Master Bai knew that he couldn't rely on him. There were only two ways to protect the Bai Family. The first was to leave the country now and come back when the situation was over. The second was to tell Master Yan everything before the Yan Family found out about it. This was the only way to protect the Bai Family. However, from then on, the Bai Family would completely become a vassal of the Yan Family.
However, if he chose the first option, the result wouldn't be much different. If the Bai Family left now, it would be because they had a guilty conscience. Perhaps the Yan Family wouldn't be able to find the Bai Family's weakness in a short period of time, but they would definitely not trust the Bai Family anymore. At that time, the Bai Family would lose the support of the Yan Family. In addition to the Master's abuse, the Bai Family would suffer a great loss. It would be impossible for them to rise again.
Now, Master Bai was regretting it. If he wasn't bewitched by Yan Fan's words, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Master Bai was lost in thought, Yan Fan narrowed his eyes. "Hurry up and think of a way!"
"Master, the best way now is for us to leave the country together and clean up all the clues. Although the Yan Family would still suspect us, they wouldn't have any evidence." This was the only way to protect the Bai Family. Both he and Yan Fan should understand this.
However, Yan Fan wasn't willing to do this. In his eyes, everything in the Yan Family was going to be his soon. How could he bear to run away with his tail between his legs at this time?
