The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 938 [Master of the Ye Family]
"One is the Hongxing Group. On the surface, this group is one of the top companies in the Capital City, but in reality, it’s different. It holds a vast amount of power, supported by many people in the shadows, with ambitions that seem to be building a business empire!" Adolf enumerated.
"What about the other one?" Ye Chenfeng silently noted down the Hongxing Group.
He couldn’t help but think of the matters in Macao, like how the seven old gates of Li Qiuming and the others all belong to the Hong Gate. This Hongxing Group is likely an extension of the Hong Gate.
"The other one is called the Hidden World Cultivation Association! Ostensibly, it’s a business-oriented charity fundraising organization, but in reality, it nurtures a group of unusual people referred to as Gods. However, many famous and wealthy individuals have joined, and many young heirs in the Capital City have joined the Hidden World Cultivation Association. The association’s funds rely on them." Adolf said.
Ye Chenfeng smirked: "Why does this Cultivation Association sound like a pyramid scheme? Don’t tell me some charlatan is deceiving everyone?"
"Definitely not. If it were just a few people, maybe. But the Hidden World Cultivation Association has been in the Capital City for a long time. If it really were a deceitful organization, it would have been exposed long ago." Adolf replied.
"Indeed, this organization is a bit mysterious. It might be related to what we’re looking for!" Ye Chenfeng said.
Adolf’s eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom: "I’ve already sent someone to infiltrate the Hidden World Cultivation Association to figure out its nature and leadership. I believe we’ll have answers soon. Additionally, I’m conducting an intensive search in the Capital City. I might uncover something else."
"Adolf, I trust your work. Let’s hang out for some skewers when you have time!" Ye Chenfeng laughed.
"Alright, I need to continue my great work. Ah, I have to start all over again!" Adolf sighed.
Ye Chenfeng chuckled unkindly and left in a relaxed mood.
The purpose of coming to the Capital City was to investigate the Divine Land organization that took action back then. Adolf has already made some progress, which considerably lightened Ye Chenfeng’s mood.
Strolling alone on the streets of Yanjing, everything seemed so unfamiliar, as if Ye Chenfeng were in a foreign city.
"Hmm?"
After walking for several more minutes, he arrived at a street that suddenly lit up in his eyes.
Jincheng Road!
A flood of memories surged in his mind...
This street was very familiar to Ye Chenfeng. Even after more than ten years, the essential features of this street remained unchanged.
This street was sparsely populated; there were hardly any people around.
There was only one reason: this area was part of the Ye Family estate, and ordinary people dared not come here.
Ye Chenfeng knew that at the center of this street was the Capital City’s 49 Mansion, which was the Ye Family’s residence. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Walking slowly along Jincheng Road, looking at the red brick walls of the 49 Mansion, Ye Chenfeng felt a sense of things having changed, yet unchanged.
Clearly, these walls had been reinforced, different from before.
"Sir, this area belongs to the 49 Mansion territory, please leave immediately!"
Soon, security personnel gathered around. Although their words were polite, their tone was hard, and each of them watched Ye Chenfeng like a sharp sword.
These guards were anything but simple, not inferior to the people of Dragon Thorn.
"Alright!"
Ye Chenfeng knew it wasn’t the right time yet, responded, and left the 49 Mansion.
Just after Ye Chenfeng left, a car slowly approached, an understated yet exorbitantly priced Audi Pikes Peak.
"Young Master Mingtian!"
The guards, who had been imposing earlier, softened like lambs upon seeing Ye Mingtian step out of the car.
"Gentlemen, you’ve worked hard!"
Ye Mingtian smiled. He was always like this.
Even when dealing with servants, he was always polite, often inquiring a word or two, never displaying the airs of a young master.
"In the Capital City, I only respect Young Master Mingtian!"
"I’m happier than anyone else that Young Master Mingtian has returned after disappearing!"
The guards, looking at Ye Mingtian’s back, clenched their fists secretly, eyes filled with longing, bodies trembling with excitement.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Mingtian is destined to be the next head of the Ye Family, and I will follow him to the death!"
"Me too!"
...
Everyone expressed their stance. Although for Ye Mingtian, it was a trivial matter, it earned the guards’ undying loyalty.
Ye Mingtian was perfect, flawless in every respect, so much so that no one had ever found a fault in him.
In everyone’s heart, the next head of the Ye Family was Ye Mingtian, having nothing to do with his father, uncles, or other male relatives.
The fact that even the subordinates thought so spoke to Ye Mingtian’s popularity. The current family head, Old Ye, surely saw all of this.
Carrying infinite melancholy and memories, Ye Chenfeng left the boundary of the 49 Mansion. The Ye Family guards merely regarded him as a passerby and certainly wouldn’t have thought that Ye Chenfeng was the once-disgraced son of the Ye Family, though the fallen son of the Ye Family had long faded from people’s sight.
If Ye Chenfu hadn’t disappeared back then, perhaps Ye Chenfeng would still be in the Ye Family, possibly the frivolous young master, enjoying a life of wealth and pleasures.
However, now there were no more tales of the Forbidden God King.
The 49 Mansion symbolized not only the Ye Family residence but also an inviolable majesty.
With an elegant and masculine stride, Ye Mingtian walked through the 49 Mansion, drawing admiring glances from everyone he passed.
Ye Mingtian was the pride of the Ye Family!
In the years Ye Mingtian had been missing, Ye Family head Ye Jianguo had been troubled, constantly worrying about the succession issue.
But ever since Ye Mingtian’s return, Ye Jianguo seemed rejuvenated, his face always adorned with a smile.
In a small courtyard, filled with flowers and plants, an old man dressed in an army-green cloth garment and black fabric shoes was tending to the flora, a perpetual smile lingering at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing the old man, Ye Mingtian approached like a child, gleefully standing beside him, quietly watching, without disturbing him.
"Mingtian, you didn’t even tell your grandfather you were coming; have you been waiting long?" The old man quickly noticed Ye Mingtian’s presence by his side.
The old man slowly turned around, appearing to be in his seventies, but vigorous and spirited, with a head of bristly short hair standing like needles, a face chiseled and commanding, thick brows, and big eyes, his gaze piercing. Dressed impeccably, exuding an invisible aura so intense it felt like the weight of Mount Tai.
Standing in front of such an elder, the pressure was immense, enough to leave one breathless.
"Haha, watching grandfather prune flowers is a rare pleasure, an opportunity not often available!" Ye Mingtian smiled.
