At Hongxing Restaurant.
Everyone waited in silence.
Although everyone was terrified, no one dared to make a peep.
Zeng Hai-Tao lay on the ground with blood on his face and was afraid even to stand up.
Lu Hong and Qiu Huan's faces had turned pale and lost all color.
Waiting around like this made them even more terrified and frantic.
Qiu Huan and Lu Hong Ye Fan themselves didn't believe what Ye Fan said.
In their opinion, Ye Fan was only saying it to delay things.
But there was nothing it could do to change their fate.
After all, Ye Fan was merely a live-in husband. How could he be acquainted with Master Lei San?
Their statuses were as vastly different as the moon and a firefly.
So there was no way they would have bought it.
Time crept by slowly like sand slipping through their fingertips.
During this time, Sun Jian-Hao kept looking at Ye Fan as he stood encircled by his men.
He wanted to 'admire' Ye Fan's look of despair and terror.
But he was sorely disappointed.
The sight that he longed for didn't surface the entire time.
Instead, Ye Fan kept standing there calmly.
There was even an indifferent smile on his handsome face.
He seemed as composed as a still lake. Even with the impending storm, not a single ripple crept across him.
"Brat, pretty good at pretending, aren't you? When your time is up, let's see how you will go on with the pretense," sneered Sun Jian-Hao unhappily. Then he opened his mouth to eat the grapes the woman in his arms was feeding him.
He looked so leisurely that he seemed like a tyrant.
Time was finally up.
Sun Jian-Hao raised his head and towered over Ye Fan as he said, "Brat, your ten minutes are up. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
His cold voice rang quietly.
Everyone shook their heads as they sighed.
It appeared no miracle was happening tonight.
In an instant, everyone gazed at Ye Fan pitifully.
But just as the show was up, there was a loud bang.
The restaurant door suddenly opened.
All the patrons immediately gasped in astonishment.
Everyone stared at the door wide-eyed.
"This..."
"Could it be...?"
Even Sun Jian-Hao was so startled that he tumbled out from this chair.
He howled in his heart.
Crap!
No way!
Just as everyone in the restaurant stared in shock, a husband and wife barged in.
"Hmm?" 'What?'
"Why is everyone...looking at us?"
"We aren't baddies. We're just here to eat.”
The husband and wife that just came in were clearly startled by the sight. If they didn't know better, they would have guessed that they had accidentally stumbled upon a robbers' den.
The atmosphere went into a deathly three second silence.
Three seconds later, an angry shout rang through the air.
"Darn! Beat this asshole up! Good heavens I nearly died from fright," shouted Sun Jian-Hao before he burst out laughing.
After all that, it was just a false alarm.
Sun Jian-Hao honestly thought his brother-in-law had come.
