Epilogue — The Puppet Master (4)

ght and shot towards the position where Zhongli Mei had previously defended. He directly dashed through from the other side, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye."You old dog!"At this...Gao Dagang had just walked to the hall when he saw Ye Bufan walking over from afar, with the alluring Hu Yaoyao by his side.

One was handsome and dashing, the other beautiful and alluring. Their every step drew envious glances from countless admirers.

"Xiao Fan, you're here"

Gao Daqiang strode over and punched Ye Bufan on the shoulder, his joy evident.

"You're quite the capable one, managing to capture Zheng Huafie."

Ye Bufan burst into laughter, and he was extremely pleased with the two people's union.

"I'm just getting started, I can't compare to you."

Gao Da Qiang leaned in close to his ear, a smirk playing on his lips, "I heard you change partners every day."

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Don't mention it, you wouldn't know how hard my life has been..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sharp pain shot through his waist. He had been secretly pinched by Hu Yaoyao, who then flashed him a smile that could kill.

"Is life hard for you If it really is, I'll go back and tell the sisters so they can make your life a little sweeter."

"No! No!"

I was kidding, I'm really happy now. I'm the happiest man in the world.

Ye Bufan quickly changed his words, joking! If twenty-eight women behind him exerted all their strength, even if his body was strong, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Gao Daqiang kept laughing heartily: “Come on, let's not talk about this. Let’s go get some drinks. We won’t leave until we’re drunk.”

He said nothing more and ignored everything else, taking Ye Bufan directly into a single room next to the banquet hall.

Now he is the eldest son of the Gao family, and countless people know that the young man before them is the illustrious Immortal Saint Ancestor. No one else dares to say anything, thinking this kind of reception is just right.

Entering the room, I was met with an impressive level of soundproofing. The noise from outside instantly faded away.

Then, two beautiful waitresses began to provide specialized service here, constantly bringing various delicacies to the table.

Gao Daqiang took over a box of white wine directly: "You lucky boy, this is fifty-year-old Moutai I got from my old man. Just this one box, I wouldn't even drink it myself."

As they were talking, he picked up the wine glasses of Ye Bufan and the other person, pouring the slightly yellowish wine to the brim.

Then, he filled his own cup, and the three of them clinked glasses and drank deeply.

He was a cultivator of the physical body, and Ye Bufan's physical strength needless to say. The two drank as if they were drinking water.

Toasting and drinking, they emptied half a bottle of Moutai before the time was up.

Just then, the door opened and Gao Jiajun and Xia Zihans couple walked in from outside.

They were originally hosting guests and upon hearing news of Ye Bufan, they immediately came here.

Gao Jiajun is now riding high, his family is at the peak of its success, and he is extremely satisfied with his son.

He is a smart man and naturally knows full well that everything comes from Ye Bufan's contributions. Without this young man, there would be nothing for the Gao family, so he proactively came over to toast him.

They both bowed deeply, but Ye Bufan was extremely polite. As the younger one, he quickly stood up to greet them when they entered.

As the saying goes, "husband and wife follow each other." Seeing him like this, Hu Yaoyao also followed closely to pay her respects.

The moment everyone's attention shifted to the doorway, Gao Daqiang's expression flickered before he turned and shielded Ye Bufan's cup with his body.

Two fingers gently flicked, sending two white powders flying. Wrapped in true qi, they didn't splatter at all, landing accurately into the wine cups of Ye Bufan and Hu Yaoyao.

The powder was colorless and odorless. It dissolved in the liquor very quickly, leaving no trace.

When Ye Bufan finished being polite with the Gao couple, they resumed their seats as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaofan, you're back! Dakang has been thinking about you all this time. Eat more of these ribs, Aunt knows you like them best..."

Xia Zihan was exceptionally warm towards Ye Bufan. The two children had grown up together, often going to each other's houses for meals. She knew exactly what Ye Bufan liked to eat and as she spoke, she placed two pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs on his plate.

"Thank you, aunt."

Ye Bufan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and gave it to Hu Yaoyao, then started eating large mouthfuls himself.

I have to say, the chef here is really good. The food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness. Even Hu Yao Yao, who doesn't usually like greasy food, can't stop praising it.

"Dr. Ye, welcome to our Gao family. Let's have a drink together."

In contrast, Gao Jiajun showed more respect to Ye Bufan. He raised his glass of wine and everyone present drank it down in one go.

After putting down his cup and chatting idly for a while, Ye Bufan's expression suddenly changed. He slumped in his chair, seeming to lose all his energy in an instant.

Not only him, but also Hu Yayay next to him is like this.

Gao Jiajun was taken aback and quickly called out, "Divine Physician Ye, what's wrong with you Are you feeling unwell"

"I'm fine, I was probably just too tired. A little rest will do me good."

Ye Bufan waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

At that moment, a boisterous laugh rang out from the doorway, followed by a middle-aged man striding in with an arrogant air.

"Ye Yixian, you're really good at acting. You're poisoned, just admit it! Why pretend nothing's wrong Do you really think I'll give you time to recover"

When this person arrived, Ye Bufan's expression turned cold and austere. He remained seated without moving or speaking.

Gao Jiajun glanced at him, confirming that he didn't know this person. He asked coldly, "Who are you"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that your good son poisoned his good brother, hahaha... How about it Doesn't that feel exciting"

In the end, the middle-aged man burst into another fit of proud laughter.

Gao Jiajun was at a loss, looking bewilderedly at Gao Dajian: "This... what's going on"

Xia Zihan directly asked, "Daqiang, what's going on Did you really poison Xiaofan This can't be possible"

"Mom, rest assured, my son would never do anything so heartless."

Gao Dagang comforted Xia Zihang with a few words, then sneered at the middle-aged man, "You still underestimate me, Gao Dagang. You really think I would poison my good brother."

"All of that just now was a performance for you. What went into the cup wasn't poison, it was probiotics. This was all to lure you out."

"Speaking of this, he turned his head back to Ye Bufan again, "Xiao Fan, Huafie is in his hands, quickly take him down."

All of this was Gao Dagang's clever scheme. He may seem rough and simple-minded, but he is actually very cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lead the Gao Group to prosperity for so many years.

He didn't want to betray his good friend, but he also didn't want his wife and children to get hurt. So he came up with this plan: pretend to be poisoned, lure the middle-aged man out, and then have his good friend take action.

In his eyes, as long as Xiaofan made a move, all the trouble could be solved.Two people stood side by side, treading on the void above, looking down upon everything as if they were emperors who looked down on all.Qi Xiuyuan said arrogantly, "You are Ye Bufan, aren't you Do you...
