After watching the video, Xiaofan immediately took out his phone and found Uncle Zhong's number. However, just as he was about to press dial, Xiaofan's hand suddenly stopped.

Yes, he wanted to find Zhu Fan, but at this time, if he went looking for Zhu Fan, wouldn't that only prove that Sister Fei could be directly used to threaten him?

So he could only ask Ren Ying and the others for help to keep an eye on things, but this thought was abandoned by Xiaofan moments later.

Sister Fei's situation was not part of Xiaofan's plan. If saving Sister Fei might expose his brothers, then it was definitely not okay.

He still had to go to the North Gate; this time, Xiaofan truly felt powerless, completely unable to think of a solution. The only possibility was to immediately alert the Yanhuang Soul members to take down the research facility, while he himself looked for an opportunity to take action against Zhu Fan and kill him.

There were always skilled guards around Zhu Fan to protect him, and his own strength was unknown. Whether he could kill him was one thing, and all the effort Xiaofan had put into staying in XG for so long would go to waste.

Thinking back and forth like this, Xiaofan did not sleep a wink all night. By the time it was dawn the next day, Bai Xue came into his room to help pack clothes, preparing to leave.

"You're really lazy, aren't you? About to leave, and you haven't prepared anything. Strange, why are your eyes so red? Didn't sleep well last night?" Bai Xue began to nag as soon as she came in.

"I'm not packing because I don't want to leave," Xiaofan replied calmly.

"Don't want to leave? Do you think it's up to you in this situation? You killed Wu Hu, and even though Zhu Fan hasn't said anything, he's definitely not happy. If you defy his orders again, he'll definitely come after you."

Bai Xue didn't understand some things, but that statement was indeed correct. In this situation, it was not up to him to make decisions. Therefore, Xiaofan had to go to the North Gate.

The scale of the operations controlled by the North Gate, one of the four gates, truly made Xiaofan tongue-tied.

After getting off the plane, someone immediately came to pick up Xiaofan and Bai Xue and the others, and then they went directly to the North Gate's headquarters.

Previously, Zhu Fan mentioned that a man cannot refuse the temptation of power. Xiaofan was now personally experiencing this level.

In just one day as a new official, Xiaofan received twenty invitations to banquets, including from officials above the deputy division level of relevant departments.

But Xiaofan refused them all. The first step in coming here was to monitor all the movements of the North Gate, all the operations, and the amounts involved, and he made a preliminary understanding of everything.

He refused the invitations, but the red envelopes kept coming in.

Goodness, on this day, without doing anything, Xiaofan received over eight million in red envelopes, mostly congratulatory gifts from the bosses of North Gate operations.

That evening, unexpectedly, Zhu Fan's call came to Xiaofan.

"So, how does it feel?"

"I can't really put it into words. Anyway, everyone who sees me is respectful, kind of like having the power over life and death."

This was not the feeling Xiaofan desired, having control over life and death? Xiaofan never thought about controlling anyone's life or death. In Huaxia, he just wanted to be a law-abiding good citizen, living happily with the woman he loved and his family.

What is power, what is money? Those are fleeting, ephemeral. True value cannot be measured with these things.

"Work hard, Black Mantis. I trust your ability. Someday, you'll see where the true pinnacle lies. As long as you cooperate with me, anything you want, you can have."

Anything I want? I want to live peacefully with Zuimo; would you give me that? Ridiculous.

"I don't really like this feeling."

"No, you'll slowly come to like it, you definitely will."

"Are you planning to go after Feng Feifei?" Xiaofan had to ask about Sister Fei. If he didn't mention it, it would only seem more suspicious, so he casually brought it up.

"That depends on your loyalty to me. Don't worry, you're part of our organization. I won't block your path to wealth. If you're capable, you can control all the Feng family's assets as you please. Of course, now I just need you to manage the North Gate well. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"If you suspect me, then why let me come to the North Gate? If the North Gate had been targeted long ago, then even if you brought me in, it's impossible to contend with an organization as big as Yanhuang Soul."

"Rest assured, the North Gate is very secretive. Yanhuang Soul won't find it in the short term, unless... you go and tip them off."

"Everything should be reasonable... just in case..."

'Beep beep beep beep.'

The call was abruptly cut off, and Zhu Fan didn't give Xiaofan another chance to argue.

On one hand, there was the research facility, on the other, the North Gate, and also Yanhuang Soul and Red Butterfly. Plus, Sister Fei's personal safety, Xiaofan was about to go mad.

"Mantis, the North Gate's information is all compiled, what should we do with it?" At this moment, Li San complied with Xiaofan's instructions, organizing all the North Gate information observed on the first day here.

"Send it to Li Kuo."

"Huh? You really plan to openly deal with things here at the North Gate?" Li San asked, puzzled.

"Tell Li Kuo to send a message to Elder Fan to send people to the North Gate in a week."

"But if we really do this, then Sister Fei..."

"Do as I say."

"Alright, okay."

Is it about sacrificing myself for the greater good? Li San couldn't believe Xiaofan was such a heartless person. But now, what Zhu Fan said was very clear. If something happens at the North Gate, Sister Fei would be in danger, and this was no joke.

"Worm, don't tell Li Kuo about Sister Fei."

"Huh? Oh."

Despite his doubts, Li San didn't continue questioning. This was Xiaofan's domain, something he simply couldn't understand.

At this time, inside the Red Butterfly headquarters...

"Boss, you asked the people from the West Gate and North Gate to come back, and now you're sending Black Mantis to the North Gate. What's all this about?" Uncle Zhong found it very difficult to guess what Zhu Fan was thinking.

"Old Zhong, I'm gathering most of the elites back from the West Gate and North Gate to prevent further losses of elites. The events at the East Gate and South Gate weren't accidents. Now the West Gate has also been attacked by Yanhuang Soul. The last North Gate definitely won't escape their grasp either."

"Then why send Black Mantis there?"

"Of course, he's the most suitable person to go."

"You mean, if he's an undercover spy, then after going to the North Gate, something will definitely happen to the North Gate, right?"

"No, quite the opposite. If he really is an undercover, then going to the North Gate means that, in order not to arouse my suspicion, nothing will happen to the North Gate."

"Hmm? I see. If Black Mantis really is an undercover agent for Yanhuang Soul, he should go to great lengths to prevent Yanhuang Soul from acting against the North Gate, ensuring he won't be suspected by us. Boss, you're truly wise."
