Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Blessing Brought by the Dead

"My second uncle is truly a master of disguise. If I didn’t know the inside story, I could never suspect him."

Jian Tao looked at Ye Fan and said strangely.

"Everyone in a big family has their own way of survival," Ye Fan said oddly. "Aren’t you the same with Zhao Feipeng? Which one of them can be underestimated, not showing a single flaw in front of Zhao Zhongtian."

"You’ve laughed at me. Dad has seen much, so he can remain calm. I’m different; if Zhao Zhongtian hadn’t been suspicious, I couldn’t have hidden from my second uncle’s eyes. He would always notice if something was wrong with me." Jian Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Plus, I was overwhelmed with grief, which is why my second uncle overlooked me."

"You did very well," Ye Fan said seriously.

Jian Tao’s actions in front of Zhao Zhongtian didn’t show any flaws, which was commendable.

"I just hope I’m not dragging anyone down. Besides that, I don’t dare to expect anything. In the future, I must avoid contact with my second uncle as much as possible in case he notices any flaws." Jian Tao said with great seriousness.

She paused, then laughed strangely, "In front of you, my second uncle is truly groveling, which is satisfying to watch."

"It’s nothing. Apart from pretending not to know him, everything else I said is true." Ye Fan said calmly.

"With your identity and status, if you knock some sense into my second uncle and expose his actions, he’d surely be scared to death." Jian Tao said seriously.

"It’s not the right time to act rashly. I should stay in the background to avoid unexpected changes," Ye Fan said.

To protect Zhao Feipeng and others, it depends on how Zhao Zhongtian acts. Without absolute certainty, one can only proceed cautiously.

"Don’t just stand at the door, come inside." Jian Tao led Ye Fan into the room and prepared some refreshments.

There weren’t many people at the Zhao Family feast, just Jian Tao and her daughter, Zhao Feipeng and his wife, Zhao Zhongtian and his son, plus Zhao Zhongtian’s son Zhao Gui’s girlfriend. This is what Jian Tao briefly introduced as the lineup.

Zhao Zhongtian called his son to his side and instructed, "The man accompanying Jian Tao is Mr. Ye. Remember, whether in words or actions, do not offend him."

"He’s Ye Fan, the Terminator." Zhao Gui took a deep breath, his expression becoming unprecedentedly serious. "Dad, I remember, don’t worry. I won’t make any reckless moves."

He took a distant look at Ye Fan, feeling a strong sense of apprehension, constantly reminding himself to be cautious.

After Zhao Gui remembered Zhao Zhongtian’s instructions, he walked over to his girlfriend.

At this moment, his girlfriend was staring at Ye Fan in astonishment.

"Ye Fan, how could it be him? What relationship does he have with the Zhao family?" The girlfriend was full of doubts.

She was none other than Chen Yifei, who once had a conflict with Biyao.

"What? You know Ye Fan?" Zhao Gui asked puzzled.

Chen Yifei came to her senses and immediately said, "I know him. I had conflicts with Chu Biyao, and he is Chu Biyao’s brother-in-law, quite terrifying, the kind of existence that people fear and don’t dare to provoke."

After hearing Chen Yifei’s words, Zhao Gui understood. He lowered his voice and said, "Remember my words. He’s more terrifying than you imagine, absolutely a taboo figure. Whether in words or actions, you must not offend him in the slightest, understand?"

"Mhm!" Chen Yifei nodded but still had doubts and asked, "In front of the Zhao family, is he also a terrifying presence?"

"In front of him, the Zhao family is nothing." Zhao Gui deeply dreaded.

"Ye Fan, what kind of person are you?" Chen Yifei pondered complexly. She had never seen Zhao Gui so afraid of someone, so the shock in her heart was immense.

"Should we go and greet him?" Chen Yifei politely inquired.

"No need, just let it be. Don’t deliberately try to curry favor or say hello." Zhao Gui said cautiously.

"Oh!" Chen Yifei agreed.

Zhao Zhongtian was not idle. In a rush, he found Zhao Feipeng and immediately asked, "Big brother, why is Mr. Ye here too? Such a big event, why didn’t you notify me in advance? What if the Zhao family neglects Mr. Ye, what should we do?"

Zhao Zhongtian originally wanted to ask Jian Tao how the Zhao family managed to invite such a big figure like Ye Fan, but seeing Jian Tao always with Ye Fan and Ye Fan having already shooed him away, he naturally wouldn’t inquire from Jian Tao again, so he could only ask Zhao Feipeng.

This matter, Zhao Feipeng must know. If he doesn’t solve this inner suspicion, he really feels uneasy.

"I also didn’t know Mr. Ye would really come. I had Jian Tao convey the invitation. It was surprising when Mr. Ye really showed up." Zhao Feipeng responded without thinking.

Zhao Zhongtian said strangly: "But how could the Zhao family have the qualifications to invite Mr. Ye? Could there be some inside story I don’t know?"

"There is indeed a hidden story behind this," Zhao Feipeng said slowly, without any intent to explain further.

"What hidden story?" Zhao Zhongtian hurriedly urged, "Are you still going to keep it from me?"

"It’s not that I’m keeping it from you." Zhao Feipeng hesitated, then said after a moment, "After Zhao Hai died, his donated heart was transplanted into Mr. Ye. At that time, Mr. Ye was hospitalized and after receiving Yuan Hai’s donated organ, he underwent surgery and returned to the country. But there were some issues with the surgery, and Yuan Hai’s unfulfilled grievances haunted Mr. Ye. Therefore, to resolve this obsession, Mr. Ye is very courteous to us, perhaps as a way to help eliminate Yuan Hai’s influence on him."

"There’s such a thing?" Zhao Zhongtian was dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable.

He truly didn’t know about this.

Including Ye Fan getting injured and receiving Zhao Hai’s heart, he was genuinely unaware.

"This is an extremely secret matter. I’m telling you, so you mustn’t spread it around. Otherwise, it would be bad for the Zhao family, and we cannot afford to offend Mr. Ye. You know the stakes, so you must keep it to yourself." Zhao Feipeng said sternly.

His words were true, with no deceit, and made sense.

If he didn’t let Zhao Zhongtian understand the reason why Ye Fan came to the Zhao family, it wouldn’t make sense.

"Big brother, don’t worry. While I may usually act recklessly, I don’t dare to be careless about major issues." Zhao Zhongtian promised, with waves stirring in his heart, unable to help but think, "I never expected that Zhao Hai’s death would bring such fortune to the Zhao family."
