Mr. Fang was no longer Mr. Fang. Then, what kind of person did he become?
Of course, Mr. Fang was still Mr. Fang. He was not a shapeshifter who could change into another person by touching someone's skin. But, was Mr. Fang still the same Mr. Fang?
What was Mr. Fang like? He was low-key, self-restrained, impartial, strict with his family, and protective of others. He loved every young man in Swallow Dock as his own child. Every Spring Festival, the children of Swallow Dock would visit Mr. Fang from door to door, and Mr. Fang would tell them their strengths and weaknesses, as well as some encouraging words.
He was a benevolent elder, but also a harsh parent.
He was the teacher of Swallow Dock!
However, Mr. Fang's disciple, Bai Xiu, appeared in the camp to kill Fang Yan. Was Bai Xiu's position the same as Mr. Fang's? Was Bai Xiu's choice the same as Mr. Fang's?
What Bai Xiu did, was it also what Teacher wanted to do? Was Bai Xiu just a chess piece of Mr. Fang, a "substitute" that Mr. Fang placed outside?
Li Xiaotian's worries were not unnecessary, and so were the other brothers'.
If Fang Yan went back and fell out with Mr. Fang, and if Mr. Fang was no longer the Mr. Fang in their hearts, then what should Fang Yan do? What should the Fang family do?
With Master's prestige in Swallow's Dock, there was no one who could contend against him.
Mr. Fang only needed to say one word, and he didn't even need to do anything himself. Those who trusted him, those who protected him, and those who were related to the interests of Swallow Dock would rush to trample Fang Yan and the Fang family behind Fang Yan into mud. Fang Yixing died in battle, the Old Drunkard disappeared, and the Fang family was only supported by Fang Yan alone.
Even his two uncles might not have the courage to stand up when the Fang family was in trouble. Even if they did, the families behind them would never stand up for them. What about the Ye family? Ye Rou was his little girlfriend, and the three tigers of the Ye family were like the sun at noon. Would they be willing to stand up for him?
In that case, how much power could Fang Yan rely on?
Li Xiaotian looked at Fang Yan with a face full of concern and said, "It's not that I don't want you to go back, I just think — this matter needs to be carefully considered. We have to consider all the aspects of the matter thoroughly. What is the best and worst outcome? Can we accept it? "
Fang Yan looked at Li Xiaotian and said with a smile, "It's me who can accept it, not you —"
Li Xiaotian's expression changed greatly. "Fang Huohuo, don't blame me for falling out with you if you keep talking like that. It's fine if you're always joking around with us. We know that you're naturally cheap, so no one will stoop to your level. You're still joking about this? What do you mean by 'can I accept that it's not you'? What does that mean? Do you dare to say this in front of them? Let's see if the big guy will swing his arm and whip you. "
"What's wrong? Now that he had become the boss of a small place like Flower City, he wanted to cut ties with his brothers? Don't worry, we have food and drinks in Yan Jing. We won't go to Flower City to suck up to you — "
Fang Yan knew that Li Xiaotian and the others had good intentions, and it was precisely because of this that he needed to push them to a safe area.
Fang Yan looked at Li Xiaotian and said, "How long have we known each other?"
Li Xiaotian thought for a while and said with a straight face, "I don't know. We've known each other since we were kids — "
"Yeah. When I met you, you were still naked — "
"You make it sound like you've never worn diapers," Li Xiaotian blushed and said embarrassedly.
"I've never worn diapers. You know, the old drunkard is a respectable person. He thinks it's very undignified for a man to always dangle his penis outside — "
"Does it count if you bathe in the river naked? Does it count if you go up to the tree to dig for bird eggs and get your pants torn by the thorns? Have you ever been naked? Have you never walked your bird? "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Look, I've seen your bird, and you've seen my naked butt. We're really honest with each other now — I understand what you guys are thinking, and I appreciate your kindness. However, this is my problem, and also my family's problem. Only I can bear the responsibility. "
Li Xiaotian looked at Fang Yan with a serious expression and said, "If something happened to me, if something happened to Yuan Qian, if something happened to Zi Dan and the others — — would you pretend you didn't see it?"
"Of course not." Fang Yan smiled and said, "Your problem is my problem."
"Then why are you pushing us brothers aside now that you're in trouble?"
"Because it's dangerous," Fang Yan said with a serious expression. "Xiaotian, you said it yourself. What if Master is not Master? What if I don't get a fair treatment for my complaint? What if I fall out with Master — — what if Master says that I'm Bai Xiu's murderer? Li Xiaotian, what will you do then? "
"Whatever you do, I'll do," Li Xiaotian said firmly. "If you say run, we'll run. If you say do, we'll do."
"If the person who kills me is your father, your uncle, your brother, or your cousin — — at that time, will you do what I say?"
"That's impossible — —"
"Why not?" Fang Yan looked at Li Xiaotian with a gentle smile. At this moment, he was like a stubborn child who knew he was wrong but still refused to admit defeat. He said, "You know, this is very likely to happen — — with Master's prestige in Swallow Fort, he can decide a person's life or death with a word."
Li Xiaotian's expression changed. His eyes turned a frightening red as if they were filled with blood. He said in a hoarse but firm voice, "I know you're wronged, I know you're the victim — — if it's really as you said, if my father, uncle, brother, or cousin wants to kill you, then I'll stand in front of you and let them kill me first. If they want you to die, then they'll let me die first. "
"Li Xiaotian — —" Fang Yan held back the tears that were about to come out of his eyes and shouted, "Don't you f * cking understand human language? I've said it before, this has nothing to do with you. "
"Fang Huohuo, can you f * cking speak human language? How did we swear when we formed the Flower Pretty Men's Team? Brothers should eat meat and drink water, use scales to divide gold and silver, and share weal and woe together. When we're in trouble, you're willing to stand up for us; when you're in trouble, you want us to be cowards — — are you scolding us or yourself? " Li Xiaotian's emotions became even more intense. He looked like he would beat Fang Huohuo up if he dared to refute.
As he spoke, he forcefully threw the suitcase in his hand — —
The two brothers stared at each other, lightning flashing in their eyes. Neither of them would admit defeat.
After a long time, Fang Yan sighed softly and said, "Now that you're ugly, as the captain of Swallow Dock's Flower Pretty Men's Team, I expel you from the team — —"
"Fang Huohuo, f * ck you — —" Li Xiaotian was really ready to hit someone this time. He rushed over and swung his fist at Fang Yan's face.
Fang Yan turned around to avoid his attack. He ran over to pick up his suitcase from the ground, patted the dust off it, and said, "Who did it offend that you're treating it like this?"
Li Xiaotian's punch missed, and he had no interest in continuing the fight. He said, "Listen to me on this matter, and I'll arrange your itinerary — —"
Fang Yan pulled his suitcase up and said, "Originally, I wanted to borrow your car to go back to Swallow Dock — —"
"If you dare say that again, I'll get angry — —"
"I know you won't agree." Fang Yan looked at Li Xiaotian and said, "Then drive me back."
"What about them?" Li Xiaotian asked.
"There's no need to inform them," Fang Yan said. "You can make decisions for yourself, but you can't make decisions for others. Xiaotian, everyone has a family, and it's not easy. If I could, I would never want to stand on the opposite side of Mister. But I have a reason to do that. You don't have to do that — — just now you asked me if I know that the fish in the moat will suffer when the city is on fire. Now I'm asking you, do you know that? If something happens to you, you won't be the only one who will suffer — — "
"You're overthinking," Li Xiaotian said.
"You're overthinking," Fang Yan said.
Li Xiaotian walked over and took the suitcase from Fang Yan's hands. "Let's go. The car is in the parking lot. "
Li Xiaotian drove a black Bentley, with a bright white "B" in the middle of the angel wings.
Fang Yan opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat. He said with a smile, "It seems that Maple Leaf Club is very supportive of you brothers. This car is not bad. "
Li Xiaotian chuckled and threw the suitcase into the trunk. He opened the door of the driver's seat and sat in. "Do you know who the big boss behind Maple Leaf Club is?"
"I don't know." Fang Yan shook his head with a serious expression. "Who is it?"
"Pretend. Keep pretending. "Li Xiaotian looked at him with disdain. "The big boss of Maple Leaf Club is the little princess of the Qin family, Qin Yitian. It was founded by Qin Yitian when she was still a minor. The three people in charge of the club were all hired by her. Although they are all famous ladies in Yan Jing, they are still a long way from being compared to Qin Yitian. Also, if you dare to say that you don't know who Qin Yitian is, I'll break your nose with one punch."
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
"I heard that you two are close —"
"She is my student," Fang Yan said. "I am a knowledgeable teacher, and she is a smart student, so our relationship is not bad —"
"Yes. So good that the smart student is going to take the bullet for the knowledgeable teacher? "Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
Fang Yan looked at Li Xiaotian in surprise and asked in a low voice, "How did you know about this?"
"Someone deliberately spread the news." Li Xiaotian's smile faded and he said, "Now many people in Yan Jing are talking about this matter. Qin Yitian is facing great pressure — and some worse rumors —"
"What?" Fang Yan asked with an embarrassed expression.
"Some people say she is a mistress."
Crack —
The black disc that Fang Yan was about to put into the car stereo was crushed by him.
