Old Fu led Xiaolong, Dai Anping, Shen Tingting, Chi Qinyuan, Lin Bowen, and Qian Weiguo, and there was a reason for it. Xiaolong's strength and identity here also showed respect for Ye Fan. Dai Anping's purpose was to highlight their group's uniqueness with his attire. As for Shen Tingting and the other three, only three of them knew the identity of Terminator, and Chi Qinyuan was unaware of this secret.

However, Old Fu's bringing Chi Qinyuan was indeed well-intentioned because Chi Qinyuan had a deep grudge against Terminator. If one were to dig deeper, in a certain mission that Terminator executed in Huaxia, Chi Qinyuan was indeed the victim.

No one knows if this grudge between Ye Fan and Chi Qinyuan can be peacefully resolved.

We'll have to see what Chi Qinyuan does after discovering the details.

At least for now, Old Fu intentionally deepening the connection between Ye Fan and Chi Qinyuan is also for the future, hoping Chi Qinyuan can figure things out and not walk down the path of becoming Ye Fan's enemy.

Old Fu does not wish for Chi Qinyuan to take an extreme route. However, if an unexpected event happens, Chi Qinyuan underestimating herself in front of Ye Fan would be doomed not to stir much trouble.

In the worst-case scenario, if Chi Qinyuan resorts to all means to deal with Ye Fan, then the situation could spiral out of control.

Old Fu has to consider all possible situations, fearing sudden changes.

To minimize conflicts and eliminate hostility with Ye Fan, Old Fu racked his brains, acting with caution.

Shen Tingting and Qian Weiguo, both holding special missions, secretly infiltrated Ye Fan's side when his identity was in doubt, exerting all efforts to ascertain whether Ye Fan is Terminator. Now, they're about to be exposed in plain sight.

Since Old Fu decided to confront Ye Fan directly, he would no longer hide but reveal all his trump cards, an act of sincerity, to show his open-minded intentions. It's inevitable.

The arrival of Old Fu and his group stunned and awed everyone present.

"These people are all big shots, surely each more intimidating than the other," neighbors and friends of the Ye Family marveled.

"Ye Fan must have extraordinary abilities to attract such big shots," Aunt Wu was flabbergasted.

"We still aren't qualified to know Ye Fan's true value and what importance he holds in their hearts," the leaders of the five major families were taken aback.

They knew more about the inside story, and if even they spoke like this, it goes without saying the others' surprise.

Ironically, Old Fu's courteous attitude towards Ye Fan amidst conversation made Ye Qingping unbearable.

Ye Qingping's sincerity put Old Fu and others in a difficult position.

They dared not take advantage of Ye Qingping's qualifications to discuss anything with Ye Fan.

Regarding Old Fu's address of Mr. Ye, a debate arose whether Ye Fan could indeed bear the title.

"Calling him Mr. Ye is from the heart, sincerely. He is most deserving; there's no need to discuss this further, alright?" Old Fu patiently said slowly.

"That's not acceptable. Even if a child of the Ye Family is incredibly capable, he isn't qualified to receive such courtesy from you," Ye Qingping firmly decided, not to be changed.

"Qualification? We have the honor of addressing him as Mr. Ye in front of Terminator; that is supreme glory already," thought Old Fu. He, too, found it difficult, unable to find words to make Ye Qingping change his mind temporarily. Ye Qingping was unaware of Terminator's skills and reputation, which was understandable.

However, if Ye Qingping continued to intervene like this, Old Fu and others would indeed be awkward, undoubtedly giving headaches.

"Stop interfering. Let them handle their matters with Ye Fan themselves. Why worry unnecessarily?" Xu Xia intervened, feeling helpless against her husband's stubbornness.

"This I must intervene. Even if I don't meddle in little matters, this is one I must," Ye Qingping insisted, speaking to himself stubbornly. "They are all members of an organization, higher-ranking than the other. The fact that such people value Ye Fan is indeed a blessing for the Ye Family. The Ye Family shouldn't be arrogant or overbearing."

"You stubborn old man," Xu Xia muttered all out of sorts, having nothing more to say.

"This?" Xiaolong and Dai Anping exchanged looks, both with a hint of bitter smiles and helplessness in their eyes.

"Can't you stop caring about us so much? Your goodwill might backfire if you keep going at it this way," Xiaolong thought, very frustrated.

"Never have I encountered a situation where good intentions from others make us feel ill at ease," Dai Anping chuckled bitterly.

Shen Tingting and others stood there, unable to interject and could only helplessly watch Ye Qingping.

"You truly are adorable," Old Fu thought after pondering for a long time, giving Ye Qingping such an evaluation in his heart.

Ye Qingping naturally noticed the troubled expressions on the faces of Old Fu and the others. He then turned his gaze towards Ye Fan and called loudly, "Ye Fan, come here."

At this moment, Ye Fan and Mengyao were whispering together.

Regarding the arrival of Old Fu and the others, the two felt unexpected but quickly came to terms with it, showing no surprise.

"I had already thought about it. Due to your special identity, the organization had long planted someone by your side. I could guess it was Qian Weiguo, but never expected Shen Tingting was also arranged by the organization," Mengyao spoke softly, understanding now many matters. "All those encounters with Shen Tingting, from strangers to acquaintances, seemed all planned. The fall of Mayor Niu and the rise of Mayor Chang Hao is the best evidence."

Mengyao spoke with calmness towards Shen Tingting's hidden identity; although displeased with Shen Tingting's approach with ulterior motives, she didn't dwell on it much as her relationship with Shen Tingting wasn't particularly close.

"Shen Tingting, Head of the Hidden Dragon Base's Intelligence Department, code-named Rose," Ye Fan identified Shen Tingting in his heart. From this point alone, it is clear he had long known Shen Tingting's background. He calmly said, "There are eyes in the sky watching me, and eyes on the ground as well. To confirm my identity, they spared no effort, and after confirming it, didn't come to find me directly but waited for the right opportunity. Truly painstaking."

Ye Qingping spoke, thus Ye Fan and Mengyao stopped their conversation immediately.
