Shi Tao seemed to have guessed Chen Fan would answer this way, a touch of disappointment crossed his face, then he said, "Chen Fan, I’m sorry, I won’t tell you Xiaoyu’s whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan’s gaze fell on Shen Si.
"Brother Chen, don’t look at me like that, I genuinely don’t know where Ling Yu is." Shen Si hurriedly said, but there was a hint of guilt, and he looked away after holding Chen Fan’s gaze for less than a second.
"Do you truly not know or are you pretending not to know?" Chen Fan asked again.
"Brother Chen, please don’t make things difficult for me. I really don’t know."
Shen Si smiled wryly.
He was truly caught in a difficult position.
"Brother Chen, Ling Yu did indeed make a mistake and should be punished, but is crippling his martial arts a bit too harsh? Perhaps a three-year confinement, or sending him to hunt a certain number of Fierce Beasts to atone for his sins?" Chang Fei suggested cautiously, glancing at Shi Tao.
He believed the reason the chairman wouldn’t reveal Ling Yu’s whereabouts was that the price Ling Yu had to pay was too heavy.
If it were lighter, the chairman might have accepted it.
Chen Fan still shook his head.
One must keep their word — if he said he would cripple Ling Yu’s martial arts, then he would cripple Ling Yu’s martial arts.
Chang Fei immediately shut his mouth, saying no more.
Ling Yu, Ling Yu, you can only rely on yourself now.
As the saying goes, blessings and calamities have no doors, they come and go as people summon them. If he had not let greed cloud his judgment, would he be in this situation today?
He asked himself, he had done everything he could, and what was not done, he had done as well. The rest depended on Ling Yu’s own fate.
"Damn it, could someone have told him that I am hiding in the Yellow Sand Tower?"
Ling Yu was indeed panicking.
He felt this wasn’t an act but something happening for real.
His master would surely keep his mouth shut, would not tell that Chen guy his whereabouts by any means.
But he couldn’t trust others.
If they couldn’t withstand the pressure or the temptation and revealed it.
Wouldn’t he be finished?
"Damn it!"
Ling Yu’s eyes were bloodshot. If he knew this day would come, he should have risked everything to kill that guy.
If he were dead, none of this would be happening today.
"It seems Chairman Shen, you all know Ling Yu’s whereabouts, but Chairman Shi told you not to reveal them. Is that right?"
Chen Fan wasn’t a fool, he saw through it at a glance.
Several people exchanged looks and showed bitter smiles.
"Brother Chen, please don’t make things difficult for us."
"Yes, Brother Chen, we really can’t say anything, we can’t say anything."
Upon hearing these words, someone clutched their heart, which still hung in their throat.
The people around listened to what he said, which was a good thing, but he feared that if Chen Fan took strong measures, even if he wanted to stop him, he could only watch helplessly.
Just as Chang Fei and others were worried about Chen Fan using some methods on them.
Chen Fan laughed.
"Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you."
As soon as those words fell, everyone, including Shi Tao, breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Fan was a man of his word; he said it, and he would do it.
"Brother Chen, I’m sorry." Shen Si said ashamedly, "I really..."
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Chairman Shen, there’s no need to say more. I don’t like to force others. This matter originally had nothing to do with you, no need to drag you in. Moreover,"
Chen Fan’s eyes fell on Shi Tao, "does the chairman think the only way I can find out Ling Yu’s whereabouts is by hearing it from Chairman Shen?"
Shi Tao’s face immediately changed color.
"The Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill?"
Since Chen Fan could use the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill to know that Song’s people would arrive in an hour, he could naturally use this martial art to foresee where Ling Yu would appear next!
"That’s right."
Chen Fan nodded.
Shi Tao felt a wave of despair.
