Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237

Ye Chenfeng immediately took out his phone and dialed a number, saying, "Well done!"

A flattering smile came from the other end of the call.

After hanging up, Ye Chenfeng said to Heavenly Eye, "Let’s start reeling it in!"

"No problem!" Heavenly Eye replied with a sinister smile, full of an air of conspiracy.

As soon as Ye Chenfeng left, the Six Fan Sect couldn’t find him again and returned empty-handed.

Moreover, once Chu Qingxue and Han Zhushang returned, the Six Fan Sect couldn’t make a move, as many were watching. But if it were at Autumn Mountain, they could conduct operations secretly.

"Leaf seemed to know all our arrangements at Autumn Mountain, including our ambushes and the guarding of entry and exits. He even used a helicopter to escape, clearly showing he was prepared in advance," Cang Wen analyzed.

Fu Tianxing shook his head, saying, "We were careless. Just as we would prepare fully, so would Leaf. And you should know, Leaf isn’t acting alone."

"We understand..." said the members of the Six Fan Sect, showing a knowing look, as they were aware of Ye Chenfeng’s identity.

"What was the meaning of imprisoning us just now?"

After Ji Qingrong and other prominent figures were released by the Six Fan Sect, they pursued the sect for an explanation.

"We were only considering your safety," was the answer given by the Six Fan Sect.

But Ji Qingrong and the others were old foxes, naturally knowing things weren’t so simple.

"And the result of the final duel? Did Leaf win or did Cang Wen win?"

This was what everyone cared about, as they had all participated in the startling gamble.

"Leaf won!" The Six Fan Sect replied, which was also considered the official answer.

"Haha, that’s good! Old Ji, you have to keep your promise!"

Once the crowd received the official answer, they looked at Ji Qingrong with smiles.

However, Ji Qingrong’s heart skipped a beat, not because he had bet a large sum on Leaf, but because he vaguely felt something was amiss, sensing an unusual taste in everything. But he couldn’t pinpoint it right away.

Soon, everyone reached the foot of the mountain.

When everyone was getting ready to return, an unwelcome piece of news arrived.

A man came running hurriedly, panting heavily, "Not good, not good... something big has happened..."

Instantly, everyone’s eyes were on him, and Ji Qingrong said, "What’s the matter? Speak slowly!"

"The website that opened the startling gamble suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed. Moreover, the money completely vanished; neither the payment end nor the bank’s fund transactions show anything. The money disappeared without a trace, leaving no footprint!" the man explained after catching his breath.

"Ah? Such a strange occurrence. Thankfully, it was Old Ji who opened the gamble, otherwise, we’d think it was a scam."

The others weren’t too shocked, as the startling gamble was launched in Ji Qingrong’s name.

They didn’t need to care whether the website disappeared or not, or if the money was gone.

They only needed to look for Ji Qingrong; that was enough.

But as Ji Qingrong heard the news, his mind buzzed, his vision suddenly went dark, his steps staggered, and he nearly fell to the ground.

Ji Qingrong even spat out crimson blood.

"Ah? Old Ji, what’s wrong?" The sudden scene scared everyone.

Damn you, Ye Family’s youngest, for deceiving me!

Ji Qingrong’s heart was bleeding; he had cursed Ye Chenfeng more than a dozen times.

Initially feeling that something was off, Ji Qingrong finally realized it now.

From the start, Ye Chenfeng had been setting him up; the startling gamble was opened in his name.

Ye Chenfeng had also told him that during the duel, he would intentionally lose to Cang Wen.

Now he realized that Ye Chenfeng had been deceiving him all along.

Thinking about how he would have to handle the aftermath of the startling gamble alone gave Ji Qingrong an impulse to run headfirst into the wall.

After all, the staggering amount of money involved in the gamble would require him to take care of one-third, if not half, of Ji Family’s assets.

This was undoubtedly a severe blow to Ji Qingrong.

It could very well cause the Ji Family to fall from the ranks of the Eight Great Families, never to recover.

The biggest beneficiary of the startling gamble was naturally Ye Chenfeng, but now, Ye Chenfeng had vanished without a trace, where could he be found? The Six Fan Sect had been searching for so long and hadn’t found him, Ji Qingrong alone couldn’t do it.

Moreover, even if he were found, what could be done? The gamble was officially recognized in Ji Family’s name, having nothing to do with Ye Chenfeng.

If you needed to find evidence, the only evidence would be the website that opened the startling gamble and the money’s trajectory.

But Ye Chenfeng had wiped these traces clean, even if you used special means, you wouldn’t be able to find anything. Thɪs chapter is updated by nοvelfire.net

Telling the truth to everyone was an option, but doing so would essentially declare himself an accomplice of Leaf, and the consequences could mean that the Ji Family becomes an easy target, unable to survive.

This time, Ji Qingrong was truly left speechless, tricked by Ye Chenfeng in such a way that he had nowhere to argue.

Damn you, Ye Chenfeng, for deceiving me!

Ji Qingrong now had burning anger but nowhere to vent.

Even a shrewd old fox eventually gets outfoxed.

If someone asked Ji Qingrong what the biggest loss he suffered in his life was?

Ji Qingrong would without hesitation say it was being thoroughly deceived by Ye Chenfeng this time, leaving him with no comeback and having to clean up the mess himself, while all the benefits went to Ye Chenfeng.

On the hospital bed, Ji Qingrong uttered a word before falling into unconsciousness.

These past two days, the Capital City gathered many top hackers, in addition to Heavenly Eye conducting the Heavenly Net plan, there was someone else acting quietly, and that was Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu wasn’t in Dragon Flame, nor in her secret base, but in Ye Family’s Mansion 49.

She arranged the room in the Ye Family like a lab, with many devices and computers.

Ye Qingwu’s slender fingers continuously tapped on the keyboard, and her weary expression revealed she was severely sleep-deprived lately.

"Huh? This signal source appeared again?"

Suddenly, Ye Qingwu exclaimed in surprise.

Because she had detected this signal source the same night Ye Chenfeng was summoned to General Lake, but she hadn’t paid it any mind then.

Now that it appeared again, it naturally caught Ye Qingwu’s attention.

If nothing unexpected occurred, this signal source was definitely related to those framing Ye Chenfeng; it was them using it.

"It seems to be nearby..."

Following that, Ye Qingwu made a significant discovery.
