Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Is Ye Fan Doomed?



The television host continued to introduce the origins of the medicinal effects of the Hundred-Year Ganoderma and displayed a picture of it.

Boom!!!

When the Su family members like Cao Xuan, Su Yue, and Old Madam Su saw the picture of the Hundred-Year Ganoderma on television, they were all struck as if by a bolt out of the blue, completely dumbfounded.

Especially Old Madam Su, with her cloudy old eyes bugging out as round as saucers, she glanced at the Ganoderma on the television and then carefully compared it to the Hundred-Year Ganoderma Ye Ling'er was eating.

What shocked her was that the Ganoderma in the picture on the television was identical to the one in Ye Ling'er's mouth.

At that moment, even a fool could tell that the Hundred-Year Ganoderma Ye Ling'er was eating was not only genuine but it was also the exact one being reported on by the television.

"What a waste, such a waste!"

Old Madam Su cried out, her blood surging with anger, never in her dreams expecting a Ganoderma worth twelve million to be casually devoured by Ye Ling'er.

Under everyone's gaze, the little girl was afraid someone might come forward and snatch away the Lingzhi, so she stuffed the whole thing into her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Damn!"

Seeing Ye Ling'er finish off the Hundred-Year Ganoderma in one breath, the Su Family members couldn't stay calm any longer.

"Is this... is this a mistake?"

Cao Xuan was staring at the television report, nearly popping his eyes out.

He had just scorned it as junk, only to find out in the blink of an eye it was a treasure of inestimable value.

Cao Xuan felt as if an invisible hand had fiercely slapped his face, making him blush with shame.

"Coincidence, this is absolutely a coincidence!"

Su Yue wouldn't believe that what Ye Ling'er was eating was a Hundred-Year Ganoderma, and she hastily began to clamor loudly.

The faces of the Su Family members were a picture, especially Old Madam Su, whose heart was bleeding continuously.

Cao Xuan was right; Hundred-Year Ganoderma was incredibly rare and valuable, so rare that even the Cao Family did not possess it, let alone the difficulty for the Su Family to obtain one.

She was already seventy years old this year, old and frail, in need of strong medicinal herbs to maintain her vitality.

If she had consumed the Hundred-Year Ganoderma, it certainly would have prolonged her life, a pity she looked down upon Ye Fan, leading to the Ganoderma slipping through her fingers.

"No! It's not a coincidence, definitely not a coincidence!"

While Su Yue was searching for excuses, an idea suddenly flashed in Cao Xuan's mind, seemingly catching a hold of Ye Fan's weakness.

"Cao Xuan, what do you mean by that?" Su Yue asked, puzzled.

Cao Xuan pointed to the television and said, "What did the report say just now? That the Hundred-Year Ganoderma was ultimately auctioned off to the Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Haonan, for twelve million, right?"

"What are you implying?" Su Yue caught on to something instantly.

Cao Xuan nodded solemnly, "That's right, the Hundred-Year Ganoderma was stolen by Ye Fan!"

"What? Ye Fan stole it?"

Cao Xuan's words exploded like a thunderclap, leaving everyone from the Su Family in shock.

"I stole it?" Ye Fan sneered.

Cao Xuan insisted, "I can guarantee that the Hundred-Year Ganoderma was stolen by you!"

"Young Master Cao, what's the basis for your statement?" Su Ruoxue couldn't watch this anymore.

"Indeed!"

Old Lady Su was astonished, and all of their gazes were concentrated on Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan acted as if he had caught Ye Fan's tail, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask who is Chen Haonan? He is a Young Master from a wealthy family, just like me, Cao Xuan! And Ye Fan?"

"Putting it bluntly, he is just a rough seed who can't even be presented in society! How could a mere nobody like Ye Fan know Chen Haonan? And why would Chen Haonan give Ye Fan such a priceless Hundred-Year Ganoderma!"

As these words were spoken, the faces of all the Su Family members froze.

Indeed, what Cao Xuan said was not wrong: how could Chen Haonan, a scion of a wealthy family, know someone insignificant like Ye Fan?

It's like being the son of the richest man and becoming friends with a bricklayer on a construction site!

Although this sounded harsh, it was the reality.

The wealthy have their own circles; they rarely mix with those beneath them, let alone give gifts to those less well-off.

"So, the only explanation is that Ye Fan stole this Hundred-Year Ganoderma!" Cao Xuan sneered.

Ye Ling'er puffed up with anger, "Dad didn't steal it; I saw it clearly. It was a red sports car-driving uncle who gave it to him!"

"Ha! What does a little girl like you know?" Cao Xuan said dismissively.

Old Madam Su's expression turned grim, "Ye Fan, what exactly is going on here?"

"Exactly, Ye Fan, you'd better come clean!" Su Yue scolded.

The Chen Family was a powerhouse in the Central Plains, ranking in the top three among the wealthy families, a true giant among them.

If Ye Fan had stolen the Hundred-Year Ganoderma from the Young Master of the Chen Family, and the Chen Family discovered this and vented their anger on the Su Family, the consequences would be more than the Su Family could bear.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Fan, with his hands behind his back, spoke indifferently, "This Hundred-Year Ganoderma did indeed come from Chen Haonan, but he gave it to me!"

"Nonsense, Chen Haonan is the Young Master of the Chen Family; why would he give you the priceless Hundred-Year Ganoderma?" Old Lady Su said coldly.

Ye Fan repeated, "Last night, I saved Chen Haonan's life. Out of gratitude, he specially gave me the Hundred-Year Ganoderma. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Grandma, what Ye Fan said is all true, I can guarantee it!" Su Ruoxue stepped forward and said.

Su Yue scoffed, "You two are a couple; naturally, you, Su Ruoxue, would cover for Ye Fan!"

"The most ridiculous part is that Ye Fan claims to have saved Young Master Chen. What a joke! Who is Young Master Chen? How could someone insignificant like Ye Fan ever get close to him?"

"Stolen, this Hundred-Year Ganoderma must have been stolen by Ye Fan!"

At this moment, all the Su Family members looked at Ye Fan with cold eyes as if the theft of the Hundred-Year Ganoderma by Ye Fan was an established fact.

"Dad didn't steal it; you're slandering my dad!" Ye Ling'er was furious.

Ye Fan didn't want to argue, "If you don't believe me, you can totally verify this with Chen Haonan. There's no need to be so aggressive here!"

"Ha! You really think I can't verify it?"

With a sneer on his face, Cao Xuan said, "Coincidentally, I'm brothers with Young Master Chen and we have a very solid relationship. I'm calling him right now; just wait for your demise!"

"Get in touch with Young Master Chen quickly!" urged Su Yue.

Old Madam Su said nothing, signifying her agreement.

If Ye Fan had indeed stolen the Hundred-Year Ganoderma from Chen Haonan, she would immediately have someone tie up Ye Fan and deliver him to the Chen Family for Chen Haonan to deal with.

In front of everyone, Cao Xuan found Chen Haonan's contact information and dialed it. Seconds later, the call went through.

"Cao Xuan, didn't you go to the Su Family's birthday banquet? What made you think of calling me?" Chen Haonan's puzzled voice came from the other end of the line.

"Ha ha..."

Cao Xuan chuckled, then said, "I discovered something very interesting at Old Madam Su's birthday banquet today and wanted to confirm it with you!"

"Oh? What's that?" Chen Haonan asked, curious.

With a mocking look on his face, Cao Xuan said, "Tell me, weren't you the one who bid 12 million for a Hundred-Year Ganoderma at the auction house last night?"

Saying this, Cao Xuan looked at Ye Fan with a wicked smile, as if to say the Hundred-Year Ganoderma had been stolen by Ye Fan and in a few seconds, Ye Fan would be completely doomed.

To prove that the Hundred-Year Ganoderma was stolen by Ye Fan, Cao Xuan even turned on the speakerphone specially, so that everyone present could hear.
