Chapter 155: Dealing with the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

During the break between classes, Yang Fan was sleeping with his head down on his desk.

Suddenly, his mobile phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that the call was from Tang Tianrong.

"Mr. Yang, I have a preliminary idea of who is trying to make a move against my daughter," Tang Tianrong's voice came through the phone.

Hearing that Tang Tianrong had a tentative target, Yang Fan felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

"Who is it?" Yang Fan asked.

If he knew who was behind the plot against Tang Xin, Yang Fan could take action and eliminate the person.

To end his job as a bodyguard as quickly as possible, taking matters into his own hands was his best option.

"Mr. Yang, I only suspect him the most, but I don't have a hundred percent certainty," Tang Tianrong said.

Then, he named the person he suspected.

The person Tang Tianrong suspected was Dai Yehong, the chairman of the Capital's Tianmei Group.

Tang Tianrong had solid reasons for suspecting Dai Yehong.

The first reason was that an undercover agent Tang Tianrong had planted inside Tianmei Group had been missing for ten days.

No matter how they tried, they could no longer get in touch with this informant, and there was a very high probability that he had been killed.

Days ago, Tang Tianrong had tasked this informant with investigating Dai Yehong, hoping to find some evidence proving that Dai Yehong was the mastermind behind the attempted kidnapping of Tang Xin.

Dai Yehong was a ruthless man. If he discovered a traitor in his inner circle, there was only one outcome for them: death.

The second reason was that Tang Tianrong's Tang's Pharmaceutical Group and Dai Yehong's Tianmei Group were locked in a fierce competition for a plot of land in the 23rd District of the Capital.

Securing this piece of land would be of immense significance to either party and yield tremendous profits.

Therefore, for the sake of this land, Tang Tianrong and Dai Yehong had been competing in the shadows, employing numerous tactics.

However, as the competition progressed, Tang Tianrong held a significant advantage in securing the land in the 23rd District.

It was very likely that Dai Yehong would resort to extreme measures to acquire the 23rd District, such as kidnapping Tang Tianrong's only beloved daughter.

Driven by the disappearance of his informant, Tang Tianrong ultimately shifted his suspicions to Dai Yehong.

"Since there is a strong possibility, leave the rest to me," Yang Fan said calmly.

Naturally, Tang Tianrong had no objections since Yang Fan was willing to step in and investigate.

The information Yang Fan needed was very simple: the address of Tianmei Group and Dai Yehong's residential address.

When school let out for the holiday, Yang Fan escorted Tang Xin back home.

The number of security guards at Tang Tianrong's apartment complex had increased fivefold, reinforced with police patrols.

Instead of staying in the apartment, Yang Fan quietly left alone and headed toward the Tianmei Group building according to the address.

First, he altered his appearance to look like a middle-aged man before proceeding to the Tianmei Building.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" a beautiful receptionist asked Yang Fan with a polite smile.

"I am here to see your chairman, Dai Yehong," Yang Fan said indifferently.

Hearing that Yang Fan was here to see the chairman, the receptionist's expression instantly turned respectful, assuming Yang Fan must be someone of consequence.

"May I ask your name, and do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

"My name is Wang Quanfeng, and I don't have an appointment," Yang Fan replied bluntly, then added, "However, I have an important matter to discuss with your chairman. You can notify him that someone wishes to see him."

Giving Yang Fan a skeptical look, the receptionist finally dialed the number for the chairman's office.

Inside the chairman's office, Dai Yehong was lounging lazily in his chair, looking quite content as his breathing came in slightly rapid gasps.

Hearing the phone ring, he picked it up and snapped, "What is it?"

"Chairman, there is a gentleman here to see you, saying he has an important matter to discuss," the female receptionist said.

"Who is it? Do you have an appointment?" Dai Yehong asked with a frown.

"He says his name is Wang Quanfeng, and he doesn't have an appointment."

"Wang Quanfeng? I don't know any Wang Quanfeng. I don't see people without appointments."

Dai Yehong hung up the phone directly, then lowered his gaze to the beautiful secretary kneeling on the floor, smiling, "Continue."

Closing his eyes, Dai Yehong relished the service the female secretary was providing him.

However, the phone rang once again, filling him with annoyance.

"Chairman Dai, I have news about Ye Weining. I am sure you will find it very interesting," Yang Fan's voice came through the phone before Dai Yehong could start cursing.

"Put the receptionist back on," Dai Yehong's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

Without saying much, Yang Fan handed the phone back to the receptionist.

Under the receptionist's puzzled gaze, Yang Fan walked into the elevator and headed up to Dai Yehong's office.

"Step outside for a moment, I have some business to attend to," Dai Yehong said, patting the female secretary's head with a gloomy expression.

Seeing the grim look on Dai Yehong's face, the female secretary dared not ask any questions. She quickly straightened her clothes and left the room.

"Could the news have leaked?" Dai Yehong furrowed his brow deeply.

Ye Weining was the spy Tang Tianrong had planted by his side. When he was discovered ten days ago, Dai Yehong had had people take care of him.

The matter had been handled very discreetly, and very few people knew about it.

Besides, those involved had been paid a huge hush-money settlement, so they shouldn't have leaked anything.

Hearing someone claim to have news about Ye Weining now filled Dai Yehong with a sense of ominous foreboding.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open by a middle-aged man.

Seeing the visitor enter without even knocking, Dai Yehong's expression flickered.

"You have news about Ye Weining?" Dai Yehong stared at Yang Fan. "He hasn't come to work for ten days. Where on earth is he?"

"Hehe, Chairman Dai, playing dumb at this point is hardly amusing," Yang Fan flashed a playful smile. "As for what condition Ye Weining is in right now, could you possibly not know?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about," Dai Yehong said coldly. "If you came here just for this kind of nonsense, you can get lost."

"I received a message sent to me by Ye Weining. He said he possesses evidence proving that you ordered the kidnapping of Tang Tianrong's daughter," Yang Fan stared at Dai Yehong with a faint smile, his gaze seeming to pierce right through him.

Hearing this, Dai Yehong's expression shifted slightly, though he quickly regained his composure. "Making such claims requires evidence. If you have evidence, produce it; don't try to fish for information from me here. Furthermore, let me make it perfectly clear: I, Dai Yehong, conduct myself honorably and would never stoop to such despicable petty tricks."

"I certainly don't have any evidence," Yang Fan smiled, quite frankly.

Realizing that the man before him had no evidence, Dai Yehong sneered inwardly. He barked harshly, "In that case, you came here just to play games with me. I'll have the security guards throw you out."

With that, he reached to call security.

"You won't get the chance to call security," Yang Fan smiled cruelly. He dashed toward Dai Yehong like lightning and unleashed a ferocious punch.

With a loud thud, Dai Yehong was sent flying backward.

Before he could get back up, Yang Fan was already upon him. Placing a hand on Dai Yehong's head, he activated the Soul Devouring Technique.

Dai Yehong let out a piercing scream, but Yang Fan promptly shoved something into his mouth, cutting the sound off abruptly.

Using the Soul Devouring Technique, Yang Fan thoroughly devoured Dai Yehong's soul down to the last trace, resulting in his complete and utter death.

Having finished all this, Yang Fan left the Tianmei Group building.
