Chapter 398: Chapter 398 Deceiving Meng Fan
Zhang Zheng looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to do this? Do you think Meng Fan will believe me?"
"Of course, Meng Fan is furious right now. I think not only is Meng Ren dead, but he’s also taken a big hit, otherwise he wouldn’t be this mad."
Ye Chen confidently replied.
Though Ye Chen hadn’t interacted much with Meng Fan, knowing Meng Fan’s temperament, he was almost certain.
Hong Ye exclaimed, "Look, Xiang Yin and Meng Fan are quarreling."
Hong Ye laughed gleefully.
"Meng Fan, there is a Lord Celestial Net in the group; it’s not the place for your reckless words. Also, you left the team without permission. I will report this to Lord Celestial Net! By then, it will be military law!"
"Shut up! Who the hell do you think you are? Brandishing a feather as if it’s a token; your position as squad captain is nothing. What are you to be barking orders at me here? Huh! I left the team without permission? That bastard Ye Chen left long ago, why don’t you mention it? You son of a bitch, yelling at me in front of my father! Who do you think you are?"
"Meng Fan! Shut up! I’ll report on Ye Chen’s situation myself, no need for you to worry! I’ll say it again; this group is not your playground. Furthermore, no infighting or civil war is allowed within the death squad! That’s an ironclad rule!"
"You shut up! You should be the one to shut up! Just wait, once I’ve taken care of Ye Chen, you’re next! Don’t spout rules and military law to me; I won’t return if I don’t have to! You better watch yourself!"
You could see the fury in Meng Fan’s heart between the lines.
"Alright! Meng Fan, you said it! I now declare as the death squad captain that Meng Fan is expelled! From now on, you are no longer part of the death squad!"
"Expel me then! Wait and see how I deal with you, you dog!"
Though Xiang Yin was a bit overly loyal, as the death squad captain, he was relatively competent.
In handling this matter, he was quite fair.
"Hahaha!" Hong Ye laughed heartily, "This Xiang Yin really vented my anger, leaving Meng Fan speechless."
"But what can Xiang Yin do to Meng Fan?" Zhang Zheng said with a bitter smile.
Meng Fan’s strength was not something Xiang Yin could match.
It could be said that Xiang Yin was absolutely not Meng Fan’s opponent.
Hong Ye snorted and said, "So what, if Meng Fan really dares to return, he won’t have a good time. Don’t forget, Xiang Yin is from the Vanguard Army, and Lord Celestial Net is also from the Vanguard Army. Although Xiang Yin may not be great, he is nonetheless the captain personally appointed by Lord Celestial Net. No matter how much of a dog Xiang Yin is, he is still Lord Celestial Net’s dog. Meng Fan publicly humiliating and threatening Xiang Yin in the group is like disregarding Lord Celestial Net’s face!"
Thinking carefully, it indeed made sense.
After all, even when beating a dog, one should consider the owner.
Ye Chen sneered, "Just worried that Meng Fan won’t have a chance to go back. Zhang Zheng, call Meng Fan."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain! Do as I say."
Zhang Zheng sighed but did not refuse. He took out his phone and called Meng Fan.
Soon, Meng Fan’s irritated voice came through.
"Hello! Who the hell is this?"
"It’s me, Zhang Zheng. I know Ye Chen’s location." Zhang Zheng spoke in an extremely low voice, giving Meng Fan the impression that Zhang Zheng was discreetly calling.
Meng Fan’s anger subsided a bit, but he still said with some distrust, "Heh, aren’t you pretty close with Ye Chen? Why inform me?"
"Because Ye Chen was disrespectful to me and took advantage of me, so I hate him. Also, I’m quite tempted by the million gold coins,"
Zhang Zheng’s acting was truly superb, as tears began to flow as he spoke.
Ye Chen was immediately stunned.
"My dear, I asked you to badmouth me a bit to cause a rift, not to say something like this! Isn’t this slander?"
Hong Ye was also taken aback, giving Ye Chen a surprised look.
"Could it be? Did Ye Chen really do that to Zhang Zheng these past two nights? Well, after all, they’re young; it’s understandable!"
Thinking this, Hong Ye’s gaze at Ye Chen changed entirely.
As if saying, "Young man, you’re quite something!"
Fortunately, Meng Fan believed Zhang Zheng’s tearful demeanor.
In the end, Zhang Zheng sent the location to Meng Fan and promised to send updates.
Only then did Meng Fan transfer a million gold coins.
(Gold coins can be withdrawn or transferred via the Monster Shop)
Seeing the gold coins hit the account, Ye Chen smiled.
"Ye Chen, I knew you were cunning, but I didn’t think you were this cunning."
Zhang Zheng said disdainfully.
"Ha, my cunning can’t compare to you, Second Saintess, and your acting! And you dare say I took advantage of you!"
"You! I just couldn’t find a suitable excuse at the time! Hmph, you really know how to burn bridges!"
Zhang Zheng snorted softly and turned back into the room.
With a bang, the door was slammed shut.
"Ye Chen brother, is Sister Zhang Zheng okay?" Jia Mu asked cautiously.
Jia Mu was sitting on the sofa, holding Genggeng in his arms. For some reason, Genggeng seemed very attached to Jia Mu, falling asleep while lying there.
"It’s fine, don’t worry about her, that’s just how she is!"
Ye Chen said before returning to the room.
Suddenly, a Pill Master’s information started appearing continuously.
[Pill Master]

The Pill Master unexpectedly leveled up swiftly to LV39!
Jumping three levels!
Ye Chen was a bit shocked, truly unsure how Orn managed it.
Back when the Pill Master was left there, it was at LV30. Orn promised Ye Chen to level up the Pill Master to LV40 within a month.
So, the Pill Master had to gain 10 levels, and it’s now LV39, with Ye Chen having leveled it up 3 levels. That means Orn still owes four levels.
If Orn plays fair, when the Pill Master is brought back, it’ll be LV43.
This round can be said to be a great profit!
Genggeng has also reached LV36. Although the attributes didn’t increase much, it still looks impressive, doesn’t it!
