Lěng Yè stepped forward and grabbed Fán Lóngtāo tightly by the neck, demanding with a blazing gaze: "Tell me, was the person who gave you the poison Yì Línglóng?" Fán Lóngtāo struggled, but remained tight-lipped throughout. He knew that once he confessed, it would mean losing any chance of redemption.
"Lěng Yè, let go of my son! You can't treat him like this!" Fán Jìqiū stood up, pointing angrily at Lěng Yè. Lěng Yè looked at him coldly, his tone resolute: "You have no right to spout nonsense here. Right now, I am simply helping your Fán family clean house. This fellow is a traitor; he colluded with Yì Liánzé. Do you know who Yì Liánzé is? He is the enemy and adversary of your Fán family, the culprit who harmed Fán Téng!"
Fán Jìchūn knitted his brows, his expression grave as he said, "Lěng Yè is right. I agree with him." Fán Jìqiū abruptly turned to look at his older brother, demanding, "Older brother, what do you mean by this? Are you going to side with him?" Fán Jìchūn sighed and said, "Little brother, if Fán Lóngtāo truly did such a thing, we cannot indulge him any longer."
