Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law
Chapter 2105

Chapter 2105

This was the epitome of the pinnacle of power for a true leader.

Some men were never crowned king, but were nevertheless, perceived as kings in their people'shearts.

In the face of the people of China's revered declaration of admiration and kneeling, Xiao Chen and MoGucheng, both of which were already prisoners, could not help but feel overwhelmed by feelings ofutter defeat.

The fact that they were War God Castle's Hall Master and leaders of the martial arts world only servedto rub salt into their wounds.

Unlike Ye Fan, they had never received the same praise and admiration from their people.

Everyone on top of Mount Yunding shouted in unison, “Mr. Chu, you shall bring forth glory to China!”

It was right at that moment that Xiao Chen and Mo Gucheng realized that their reign had come to anend.

The man standing before them, Chu Tianfan, had succeeded their positions and became the country'ssupreme leader.

To make matters worse, they had no say in the transition of power.

The man they had plotted elaborate schemes against had ascended to the highest position in themartial arts world with the support and ultimate confidence of the martial artists in the country backinghim up.

The realization rendered Xiao Chen devastated, especially considering that he and Ye Qingtian used tobask in the same glory a decade ago.

However, time made it inevitable that newer generations like Ye Fan to excel over the older generationlike Xiao Chen and Ye Qingtian.

“If Chu Tianfan wins this war, there will be no one to stop him from rising,” Xiao Chen lamented.

It appeared as if he had aged a decade as he let out a long sigh.

Ye Fan slowly got up amidst the public's shout of support.

He scanned the crowd. An inexplicable feeling arose in his chest.

He was still plagued by the notion that he alone had brought forth the disaster.

Nonetheless, he never thought that not only did those afflicted not blame him for it, but they were evenplacing such confidence in him, so much so that they had entrusted themselves and the whole nationto him.

Most importantly, the people pinned all their hopes on him.

All of a sudden, Ye Fan could finally feel the burden of responsibilities that the War God, Ye Qingtian,had to shoulder.

After all, not everyone could shoulder the responsibilities of a whole nation.

Even Ye Fan was still wondering if he could make it.

However, he was determined to work twice as hard.

This time, he did not wish to disappoint those who chose to entrust their lives to him again.

Hence, when he got up and faced the people, Ye Fan declared in a low voice, “This time, I, ChuTianfan, shall live and die together with all of you! I will not take a step back again!”

His baritone voice echoed loud and clear.

Then, Ye Fan turned around abruptly to face the formidable Chu Sect army all alone.

The martial artists on Mount Yunding were already either heavily injured or dead.

They could no longer support Ye Fan.

Hence, Ye Fan knew that the lives of the people on Mount Yunding were entirely dependent on him.

“All the best, Ye Fan!”

“We believe in you!” Ye Ya and Ye Tian prayed fervently for Ye Fan's victory.

“I didn't think that there would be a day when the whole country's survival would depend on Ye Fan oneday, that he will emerge a hero to save the country from descending into anarchy.”

Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yulang, Ye Xilan's children, were preoccupied with mixed feelings as well.

They recalled the first time when Ye Fan went back to Yeyang for New Years' celebration. Havinggraduated from the prestigious Yanjing University and Qinghua University respectively, Jiang Yulangand Jiang Yuqing had looked down on Ye Fan who was just a high school graduate.

Oftentimes, they used to team up with Ye Jian to isolate Ye Fan.

They thought of Ye Fan as nothing more than a b*stard that nobody wanted, a degenerate that wouldachieve nothing in his life.

Not only did the younger generation of the Ye family think that way. Even the older generation of the Yefamily shared the same notion. Ye Fan's granddad also thought that he would be nothing more than agood-for-nothing live-in son-in-law at best.

However, nobody foresaw that the man whom everyone in the family looked down upon would one daybecome the last beacon of hope for the country.

On the other hand, Jiang Yulang and Jiang Yuqing, both of which were renowned university graduates,had merely become administrative staff in some menial company, earning not more than a few hundredthousand a year.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan had already established conglomerates worth more than a hundred billion a fewyears back.

Furthermore, the man whom they called their cousin would now claim the highest position in the wholecountry.

The world of difference between them put Ye Fan's cousins to so much shame that they dared not eventry to catch up with him.

After all, Ye Fan's connections were leaps and bounds ahead of them.

Hence, they could only stand aside and watch in admiration at the deity-like man.

As for the academic qualification that they were so proud of, it was akin to dirt in Ye Fan's eyes.

As Ye Fan approached the martial artists of the Chu Sect, a beautiful silhouette appeared on top ofMount Yunding.

“Xu Lei?” the still tear-stricken Ye Yuyan mumbled.

Ye Yuyan was surprised by Xu Lei's sudden appearance.

There were already a number of surprises on that particular day.

First, Ye Fan, who had been missing for years suddenly showed up.

Then, Xu Lei, who was supposed to be stranded in Yanjing, also made an appearance.

Ye Yuyan sobbed as she threw herself into Xu Lei's arms. “Xu Lei, I heard them saying that the YanjingFormation has crumbled. I thought that you were...”

Xu Lei smiled and said, “Ye Fan saved me. Are you all right? How about this little fella? Is he hurtanywhere?”

Xu Lei took Chu Lin from Ye Yuyan's arms.

Even though Ye Fan never admitted that the boy was his child, everyone unanimously thought that theboy was his child.

Naturally, Xu Lei thought the same.

She was worried when she noticed the little boy's pale face.

Ye Yuyan then replied, “I don't know. A strong surge of energy burst forth from his body just now, andhe managed to steer off a supreme fighter. He fainted right after.”

Xu Lei was taken aback.

She did not expect such a formidable force to be hidden within the little fella.

“I guess a freak's son has got to be a freak as well...”

A wry smile crept up Xu Lei's face.

Then, she cast a glance at Ye Fan's silhouette.

If I also bear Ye Fan a son, is the child going to be extraordinary as well?

Her face blushed bright pink at the thought.

Once the line between two people had been crossed, there would be no turning back.

Xu Lei knew that her feelings for Ye Fan could never cross the imaginary line.

She never dared to harbor any thoughts toward Ye Fan in the past.

Xu Lei would keep reminding herself that they were merely like siblings.

However, the line that was holding her back was getting blurred with time.

“Xu Lei, do you think Ye Fan is able to win?” Ye Yuyan turned her focus back on the situation at hand.

After all, the Chu Sect was truly formidable.

Ye Yuyan was worried that the tragedy that happened back then would repeat itself yet again.

Xu Lei shook her head and replied softly, “I've no idea. Since he's made the decision, we could onlysupport him. I will face the outcome together with him, no matter if he wins or loses.”

Her voice was gentle, yet there was an unmistakable strength and determination in them.

Ye Yuyan lifted her head suddenly to look at Xu Lei as she said, “Xu Lei, you're truly different fromMucheng. Back then, Ye Fan had made the decision to fight the Chu Sect, and he never returned.Mucheng was devastated when she heard the news and had not forgiven Ye Fan for making thatdecision until now. She blames him for putting his own wishes before his family. Not only is she notsupportive of his decision, but I guess she still loathes him for making that choice as well.”

Ye Yuyan shook her head in resignation.

Of course, Xu Lei knew that Ye Yuyan was talking about Ye Fan's wife, Qiu Mucheng.

Everyone was standing by Ye Fan as he fought the life-and-death battle at Mount Yunding.

However, his wife was the only person who was not present.

It was apparent to everyone that Qiu Mucheng still resented Ye Fan deep down.
