Background / History

Supporting Ye Fan after his expulsion

Despite disapproving of Ye Fan’s talisman-selling business, Wu Sihan refused to abandon his cousin. He arranged for Wu Haoqiang to give Ye Fan a bank card containing one million, explaining that their family could not leave him without options. He also doubted that the timid Ye Fan had willingly caused the scandal that ruined his engagement, suspecting Ye Zhize and Liao Tingting of setting him up 4.

Wu Sihan invited Ye Fan to his grandfather’s seventieth birthday banquet. During the visit, he accused Ye Fan of scamming Jiang Hailin through talisman sales and offered to lend him money instead. He later questioned Ye Fan about pursuing Bai Yunxi, warned that the attempt could get him beaten, and urged him to approach his ten-billion financial goal one step at a time 12 14.

At the banquet, Wu Sihan defended Ye Fan when Liao He brought up the broken engagement. He recognized the confrontation as a show of force by the Liao Family, whose alliance with the Ye Family had excluded the Wu Family. After Ye Fan angered Zhou Jinzhi, Wu Sihan urged him to apologize rather than jeopardize a connection with such an influential figure 15 16.

Wu Haoqiang’s kidnapping and changing beliefs

Wu Sihan’s opposition to “feudal superstition” led him to throw away four talismans Ye Fan had given Wu Haoqiang. When his son was subsequently kidnapped, Tang Nuan—not Wu Sihan—sought Ye Fan’s help 15 18.

After Qian Yu returned Wu Haoqiang home, Wu Sihan rejected the explanation that food poisoning had left every kidnapper unconscious with dislocated limbs. He traced Ye Fan’s movements and concluded that his cousin had probably rescued the boy. Qian Yu’s genuine respect for Ye Fan also made him reconsider whether the talismans and unusual abilities were merely fraud. With the masterminds arrested, he vowed not to show them mercy 20.

The rescue earned Ye Fan a new degree of respect, though Wu Sihan retained doubts. Wu Haoqiang later reported persuading his father to transfer twenty million to Ye Fan. Tang Ning’s account of a protective jade pendant sending a charging dog flying further shook Wu Sihan’s disbelief in supernatural phenomena 21 27.

The villa and Tang Group partnership

Wu Sihan gave Ye Fan a villa with restricted access and better security than his apartment. After awkwardly acknowledging the effectiveness of Wu Haoqiang’s jade pendant, he asked whether Ye Fan could make similar protection for the Wu Family; Ye Fan agreed to make one for each family member 28.

He then drove Ye Fan to the hospital to treat Tang Yongjin, a real estate tycoon whose planned development offered valuable business opportunities. Wu Sihan lent Ye Fan his bank account to receive Tang Yongjin’s fifty-million treatment payment. Hearing Zhou Jinzhi take Ye Fan’s talismans seriously made him regret discarding his son’s protection 28 29.

Following Ye Fan’s treatment, the Tang Group partnered with the Wu Family. Wu Sihan credited his cousin for the agreement and promised him a share of the profits. He later delivered requested medicinal herbs, opened a bank account for Ye Fan, and arranged the deposit of Tang Yongjin’s fifty million plus twenty million awarded by the Wu patriarch for Ye Fan’s contribution to the project 30 34.

Protecting Ye Fan’s independence

When the villa guards turned Ye Hongwen away at Ye Fan’s request, Wu Sihan praised them. He instructed security not to admit visitors merely because they claimed to be Ye Fan’s parents or siblings, reinforcing his cousin’s separation from the Ye Family 34.

Wu Sihan booked Ye Fan’s flight to Capital City and saw him off, repeatedly warning him not to offend its powerful residents. Because he had left his own contact number on the booking, Zhang Siliang later reached him while seeking help with the bug Ye Fan had identified inside his body. Wu Sihan passed along Ye Fan’s number, reasoning that his cousin enjoyed earning money from wealthy clients 36 39.

Personality

Wu Sihan is protective but frequently exasperated by Ye Fan. His support takes practical forms—money, housing, supplies, transport, and security—even while he criticizes his cousin’s behavior. He is attentive to reputation and influential connections, warning Ye Fan about both Zhou Jinzhi’s standing and the risks of approaching Bai Yunxi 4 14 16 28 34 36.

His skepticism is strong but not unchangeable. He initially dismisses ghosts and talismans outright, then revises his judgment as the kidnapping rescue, protective pendant, and Tang Yongjin’s treatment provide increasingly difficult evidence to ignore 12 20 27 29 30.

As a father, he worries about Wu Haoqiang’s safety and expects him to behave properly around important acquaintances. He also shows mild jealousy when the boy fusses over Ye Fan more attentively than over his own father 15 20 32.
