Chapter 1319 I’ll Play with You

Henry was startled and quickly checked Barkley's breathing and felt his heart. Then, with a panicked expression, he shouted, “Oh no, Young Master Barkley is dead!”

As soon as he said this, everyone present instantly erupted. No one expected that a life would be lost.

John's expression changed drastically, and he quickly shouted, “Where's the doctor? Quickly call a doctor!”

Lu Banxia and Lan Bingyu were extremely nervous, pulling Ye Bufan's arm: “Xiao Fan, what should we do? He's not really dead, is he?”

Ye Bufan's expression was grim. As a Medical Immortal, he was very precise with the force he used.

From the start of the conflict until now, those people only sustained minor injuries, some even just dislocated joints, which weren't even considered injuries.

It was the same when he slapped Barkley just now; he didn't use much force at all. He never expected the other party to be beaten to death.

He swept his Divine Sense over, scanning the corpse from head to toe, and a chilling coldness emerged in his expression.

The person was indeed dead, but the cause of death was not that slap; instead, it was a setup.

Barkley had previously been given a special agent. This agent itself was non-toxic, but it made a person's body tissues extremely fragile and their resistance very low, to the point where they couldn't even withstand the force of a single slap.

From this, it can be seen that someone has been orchestrating things behind the scenes from the moment the conflict began.

Barkley should have just been a pawn, bumping into Lan Bingyu and slandering the Chinese were all deliberate acts, the purpose of which was to provoke himself. It's just that he himself didn't realize he would pay the price of his life.

At that moment, two doctors in white coats rushed over. They performed a head-to-toe examination on Barkley's body and finally concluded that the person was dead.

At this, the entire No. 1 Club erupted. It must be known that the deceased was Young Master Barkley, the heir of the Field Family.

“My God, I never thought this Chinese person would kill someone. Now things have gotten out of hand…”

“How is that possible? He just slapped him, how could he have killed him?”

“What's so strange about that? Didn't you see how powerful the Wolverine was, yet he couldn't withstand a single finger from him? It's normal for a slap to kill someone…”

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Ye Bufan realized that even Thomas, who had just appeared, was a pawn laid by the other party. Since he could defeat such a powerful Wolverine with a single finger, it became reasonable for him to kill an ordinary person with a slap.

At this, Lu Banxia also became nervous: “Ye Dage, what should we do? Will something happen?”

Ye Bufan shook his head: “Don't worry, I'll handle it.”

Although he didn't know who was behind this, since he had already fallen into the other party's trap, he would just adapt to the situation.

“Chinese, you dare to commit murder in my No. 1 Club. Just wait to accept your punishment.” Then John shouted to the bodyguards next to him, “Quickly call the police and have the security guards come to handle it.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone present looked over with complex expressions.

In their eyes, this Chinese person had already become a murderer, and no matter how skilled he was, he would have to face judgment.

In a place like Apple City, where the legal system is strict, he would inevitably spend the rest of his life in prison, and perhaps even lose his head.

“Is this fun?” Ye Bufan showed no tension, looking at John with a calm expression, “Since you want to play, I'll play along.”

A hint of panic flashed in John's eyes: “I don't know what you're talking about.”

“If you don't know, then keep pretending to be confused.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. He was certain that this old man was either in the know, or at least knew a part of it.

He swept his Divine Sense outwards and found that dozens of heavily armed security guards had already rushed in from outside the No. 1 Club. It was clear that the other party had been prepared in advance, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

He turned his head and, seemingly jokingly, asked Lan Bingyu and the other: “If I kill all the security guards they called, what would be the consequences?”

Lu Banxia was startled by his words: “Ye Dage, please don't do that. The consequences would be very serious. You would be sentenced to life imprisonment and never get out.”

Ye Bufan smiled: “I don't mean that. Are there any other consequences?”

Lan Bingyu said: “I was planning to take the bar exam here. According to M Country's law, if you really violently attack so many police officers, you will be classified as a violent extremist.

All your assets here will be seized, and if you refuse to surrender, your assets will be confiscated.”

“I understand.”

Ye Bufan nodded. He now basically understood the mastermind's objective, which was to prevent himself from developing traditional Chinese medicine in M Country and from taking control of Angel Pharmaceuticals.

Just as the three of them were talking, the Apple City security guards had already rushed in from outside.

“Mr. John, what's going on?”

The head of the security guards said.

“This Chinese person killed Young Master Barkley.”

John raised his hand and pointed towards Ye Bufan.

“Don't move, put your hands up.”

The security guards present immediately surrounded Ye Bufan, all pointing their firearms at his face.

Ye Bufan's expression remained calm. With his Middle Stage Martial Saint cultivation, these firearms posed no threat to him at all.

He scanned the people around him, a faint smile on his face. He knew someone was probably waiting for him to attack and kill these security guards, so their conspiracy would completely succeed.

“Since we're playing, let's just keep playing.”

Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't let the people who set him up succeed. He slowly raised his hands, showing no intention of resisting.

Two security guards immediately rushed forward and handcuffed him.

“Ye Dage…”

Seeing the scene before her, Lu Banxia was so anxious she didn't know what to do.

Lan Bingyu, on her side, also thought she had implicated Ye Bufan and was so anxious that tears fell.

“Don't worry, I'll be out soon.”

Ye Bufan showed no tension; instead, his face was radiant with a smile. He looked at the two and said, “Banxia, take Lan Bingyu to our company and arrange a suitable position for her. She doesn't need to continue working here.

Also, don't act rashly without my permission. I'll handle things myself.”

“Okay, Ye Dage, I'll immediately hire the best lawyer to save you.”

“No need. Just manage the company well. I'll handle this myself.”

Ye Bufan was very clear that the trap set by the other party was extremely meticulous. Even if he hadn't resisted, killing Young Master Barkley of the Field Family was a crime that no ordinary lawyer could get him out of.

Even if the Lawrence Family intervened, this matter probably wouldn't be resolved easily.

“Shut your mouth and come with us.”

A security guard yelled fiercely, then took Ye Bufan out and escorted him into the car.

Watching him being taken away, Lu Banxia took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and, following his instructions, led Lan Bingyu out the door.

With things escalating to such an extent, and even Barkley dead, No. 1 Club did not stop them at all and allowed the two to leave.

After returning to the car, Lu Banxia hesitated for a moment, then finally took out her phone and dialed Feili's number.

In Apple City, her connections and influence were still far inferior to the Lawrence Family's. At this moment, she only hoped that the other party could help.
