Not long after Yang Ling left, someone appeared at the battlefield where the intense fight had taken place. It was Yue Shan, one of Chen Fan's subordinates. Yue Shan looked at the nearly lifeless Golden Ape lying on the ground and then surveyed the surroundings, which resembled a scene ravaged by a tornado. His heart was filled with shock and fear.
"Golden Ape... what on earth happened here?" Yue Shan muttered to himself, his voice laced with undeniable astonishment and unease. He glanced around, taking in the incredible destruction. Trees were broken in half, the road was cracked, and the ground was riddled with deep fissures.
Yue Shan quickly knelt beside the barely conscious Golden Ape, who was covered in blood. He checked for signs of life, placing his fingers gently on Golden Ape's carotid artery and feeling a faint pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, Golden Ape is still alive." However, the shock in his heart did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger.
"Yang Ling... you actually have such a powerful protector." Yue Shan's mind was in turmoil. He recalled the rumors he had heard earlier, saying that Yang Ling had a fearsome family backing him. Now, witnessing the aftermath of the battle firsthand, Yue Shan had to admit that the rumors were likely true. Yang Ling himself was already a genius himself and the fact that he had a family capable of providing such formidable protectors made him even more extraordinary. Little did Yue Shan know, there was no protector involved from the beginning.
Gazing at the chaotic, smoke-filled battlefield, Yue Shan couldn't help but sigh deeply. He realized that the enemies Chen Fan faced were far more terrifying and dangerous than he had imagined. Yang Ling's family clearly possessed extraordinary strength, able to cultivate such powerful protectors, demonstrating their formidable capabilities.
"I can't let Golden Ape stay in this dangerous place any longer." Yue Shan's mind quickly settled on this thought. Without hesitation, he picked up Golden Ape and swiftly left the scene. He knew that staying here would only worsen the situation. The most important task now was to get the injured Golden Ape back to a safe place and provide him with timely treatment and care.
Holding Golden Ape tightly, Yue Shan moved through the night like a phantom. Despite the endless fear and worry in his heart, he firmly believed that Chen Fan would not be easily defeated. After all, Chen Fan was the Dragon King! The power behind him was far beyond Yue Shan's reach. Moreover, as the only disciple of the Dragon God, Chen Fan must possess extraordinary skills and wisdom, making it impossible for him to lose easily.
With this firm belief, Yue Shan continued on his way, disappearing into the vast night...
Yue Shan, heart racing with anxiety, brought Golden Ape back to the safe house they had purchased upon their return to the country. He quickly opened the first aid kit and skillfully yet gently bandaged and treated Golden Ape's horrific wounds. However, despite his efforts to remain calm and focused, he couldn't quell the deep unease within him.
He knew that Golden Ape's injuries were extremely serious and that if immediate action wasn't taken, the consequences could be dire. Every time he touched Golden Ape's wounds, he felt a surge of tension and fear. As time passed, sweat began to bead on Yue Shan's forehead. He knew he had to act fast and notify Chen Fan immediately.
Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves, Yue Shan picked up his phone and quickly dialed Chen Fan's number. As the phone rang, Yue Shan's anxiety grew. Finally, Chen Fan's cold, ruthless voice came through: "Yue Shan, what's the situation?"
Yue Shan's voice carried a hint of anxiety and unease: "Dragon King, Golden Ape's injuries are very serious. I'm afraid he won't last. Only our team's medical expert, Hua Lu, can save him now."
Chen Fan's tone instantly turned icy, filled with uncontrollable anger: "Golden Ape is useless! He couldn't even handle Yang Ling, who was supposed to be defenseless, and he failed to kill even a mere protector, getting beaten so badly instead. He's a disgrace!"
Hearing this, Yue Shan felt a deep sense of guilt and helplessness. As Chen Fan's subordinate, the failure of this mission weighed heavily on him. However, before he could explain further, Chen Fan hung up the phone in a fit of rage.
Yue Shan stared blankly at the phone, feeling a mix of emotions. He knew he had disappointed Chen Fan, but the most important thing now was to save Golden Ape. Taking a deep breath, he decided to stabilize Golden Ape's condition while waiting for Hua Lu's arrival.
After hanging up, Chen Fan's face still showed traces of anger, but it quickly turned calm and cunning. He picked up the phone again and dialed another number. Soon, a sweet, melodious voice came from the other end: "Brother Fan, why did you think to call me?"
Chen Fan's voice softened: "Hua Lu, I need your help. Golden Ape is severely injured and needs your medical skills."
Hua Lu's voice was playful yet concerned: "Hmph, Brother Fan, you only call me when you need something. But if Golden Ape is hurt, I'll come back right away."
Chen Fan hung up the phone, a sly smile playing on his lips. Hua Lu's dependence and trust in him made him feel in control of everything. In reality, Hua Lu's background hid a shocking secret.
Many years ago, Hua Lu was a happy, innocent little girl, living a life filled with laughter. But a sudden disaster shattered everything. One day, Hua Lu's parents disappeared, leaving behind a scene of devastation and endless grief. After some investigation, Hua Lu discovered that her parents had been killed by the legendary Dragon God.
Just as Hua Lu was drowning in despair, a mysterious figure appeared and saved her. Since then, Hua Lu lost all memories of her past and started a new life.
Years later, Chen Fan's master accidentally discovered Hua Lu's whereabouts. He sensed Hua Lu's unique spiritual special body, realizing that if she could have sex with Chen Fan, her special body would greatly enhance Chen Fan's power and talent. So, Chen Fan's master devised a plan to alter Hua Lu's memories, making her believe that Chen Fan had saved her.
Under Chen Fan's master's meticulous planning, Hua Lu gradually came to believe this lie and developed deep feelings for Chen Fan. Unbeknownst to Hua Lu, Chen Fan coldly exploited her innocence and trust for his gain.
"Hua Lu, this mission's failure was an accident, but your arrival will surely turn the tide," Chen Fan thought to himself. He knew Hua Lu's medical skills were unparalleled, and her return would be crucial for their counterattack.
