The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 239: Wu Guotian’s Request

Originally, many from the prominent families in Capital City were eagerly waiting to witness the drama between the Yes and the Wus unfold, only to be caught off guard when Wu Anguo, who had been facing death due to a serious illness, unexpectedly checked out of the hospital as if nothing had happened. This left many people scratching their heads. However, one thing was certain: with Wu Anguo alive, the showdown between the Yes and the Wus was effectively canceled.

After Song Yigang and others left the military hospital, Wu Angou promptly completed the discharge procedures. Now that Song Yigang was aware of his improved condition, staying in the military hospital served no purpose.

However, only the director of the military hospital, Duan Nan, wished that Wu Anguo would stay a few more days in the hospital so that he could learn more about medicine from his master, Ye Chenfeng.

As Ye Chenfeng and others were accompanying Wu Anguo out of the hospital, Duan Nan’s eyes were dry with longing as he looked at Ye Chenfeng like he had been wronged immensely and said to Ye Chenfeng, "Master, when will you have the time to come and impart some medical knowledge to me?"

Ye Chenfeng did feel quite pleased to hear Duan Nan calling him master. This apprentice, whether he acknowledged him or not, was after all his, and he waved his hand, saying, "In a few days, I’ll write down the medical knowledge I have in my head on paper and have it sent to the military hospital. As long as you diligently study what I teach you, I guarantee your medical skills will greatly improve—at least three or four times better than what they are now."

The moment Duan Nan heard this, he was thrilled. The gloom from Ye Chenfeng’s imminent departure was dispelled, and his face bloomed into a smile like a chrysanthemum. Shortly after, he composed himself again, bowing to Ye Chenfeng with earnest sincerity, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. If there is ever anything you need from your disciple, please do not hesitate to ask. I shall not complain."

Hearing the phrase, "A teacher for a day is a father for life," why did Ye Chenfeng feel so awkward? Duan Nan was of the same generation as his grandfather, Ye Zhenhong. It was no wonder that acquiring such an old ’son’ out of the blue gave Ye Chenfeng chills.

Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, standing by, felt a mix of envy and resentment: why did Ye Chenfeng always shine so brightly wherever he went? As for Wu Jie, his admiration for his brother-in-law, Ye Chenfeng, only intensified; in his eyes, Ye Chenfeng was simply the epitome of manhood. He resolved to become an impressive man like Ye Chenfeng. freewebnoveℓ.com

In the following days, life returned to its peaceful routine as the new year quickly approached. Other than advising Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming in their training, Ye Chenfeng spent each day with Wu Xiaofei, who had now reverted to her straightforward and bold nature, becoming increasingly proactive around him.

Now that their engagement ceremony had taken place, Wu Xiaofei was officially Ye Chenfeng’s fiancée. Her enthusiasm these days left Ye Chenfeng feeling quite overwhelmed, fearing that any spark might lead him to take things too far with Wu Xiaofei—something he felt he still needed to carefully consider regarding emotional matters.

One morning, just as Ye Chenfeng had woken up and was coming downstairs, he saw a guest in the Ye family’s living room, with Ye Zhenhong personally attending to him! Ye Dongjian stood to the side, not even qualified to sit down.

The visitor at the Ye household was none other than the commander of the Soldier King Group, Wu Guotian. What brought this old man to the Yes so early in the morning? This made Ye Chenfeng wonder.

"Chenfeng, come here. Old Wu is here specifically to see you; he has been waiting for half an hour," Ye Zhenhong called out and waved at Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng yawned and nonchalantly took a seat in front of Wu Guotian. As the saying goes, one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause; with all the responsibilities Wu Guotian had as the commander of the Soldier King Group, he wouldn’t normally have the leisure to wait half an hour for Ye Chenfeng in the Yes’ living room.

If it weren’t for the fact that the old man’s brain was fried by a fever, he must have come to seek Ye Chenfeng’s help. Beyond that, Ye Chenfeng could not think of any other reason for Wu Guotian’s visit.

"Zhenhong, you truly have a remarkable grandson! Chenfeng..."

Listening to Wu Guotian’s incessant chatter about trifles, Ye Chenfeng interrupted directly, "Just say it! What’s your business with me today? Stop beating around the bush, I believe I’ve already mentioned last time that I dislike people who don’t get straight to the point."

"Chenfeng, what are you saying?..."

Ye Zhenhong was about to admonish Ye Chenfeng when Wu Guotian waved his hand and said, "Zhenhong, Chenfeng is absolutely right, it’s my forgetfulness! So, I’ll just speak frankly now."

Earlier in the living room, Wu Guotian was only idly chatting with Ye Zhenhong and had not mentioned the actual reason for his visit to Ye Chenfeng so early in the morning. Since Wu Guotian hadn’t brought it up, naturally, Ye Zhenhong didn’t feel it appropriate to ask.

Wu Guotian paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and said, "Chenfeng, the situation is like this: a day ago, someone disguised themselves and infiltrated Huaxia Country to steal a classified document. This document is extremely important to Huaxia Country and absolutely cannot be leaked. Fortunately, the guards discovered the theft in time, and our Soldier King Group immediately dispatched personnel to pursue these malicious intruders."

"However, while escaping through the Uniworld Tower, these intruders kidnapped the CEO of Uniworld Group, which is an industry under the Bais of Capital City. The kidnapped CEO is someone you know well—your former fiancée, Bai Xueling. After they took a hostage, our situation became even more difficult, and we could only watch helplessly as they fled into the Taiping Mountain Range, the closest to Capital City."

"You must know, the Taiping Mountain Range is vast. It’s extremely difficult to conduct a large-scale search, and if we cause too much of a commotion, it will undoubtedly spark panic among the citizens of Huaxia Country. That’s why I issued a gag order since yesterday when they stole the document, and now very few people are aware of this incident."

No wonder Ye Zhenhong also didn’t know about this matter! It turned out to be a gag order from Wu Guotian! However, the fact that those intruders could enter Uniworld Tower and kidnap Bai Xueling without raising anyone’s suspicions showed they were no ordinary culprits. They clearly knew that Bai Xueling was a direct descendant of the Bais of Capital City, a top-tier family. By taking Bai Xueling hostage, they significantly increased their chances of escape.

After listening for a while, Ye Chenfeng finally understood. Wu Guotian had come to him to ask for assistance with this thankless task. Just as he was about to decline, Wu Guotian spoke again, "Chenfeng, don’t reject it so hastily. With your current abilities, you’re far from reaching the pinnacle of the world. If you agree to this task, I can also promise you something, or rather make a promise to the Yes. Should the Yes face any hardship in the future, our Soldier King Group will definitely provide full support. What do you say?"

If it weren’t for the fact that three of the Soldier King Group’s true masters were abroad on a mission, Wu Guotian would not have resorted to seeking assistance from Ye Chenfeng. The infiltrators who came to steal the classified documents from Huaxia Country were no ordinary foes; even more formidable than the publicly known one hundred and twenty members of the Soldier King Group. Under these circumstances, Wu Guotian thought of Ye Chenfeng first.

As Wu Guotian said, Ye Chenfeng’s current strength was not enough to ensure the Yes’ safety under any circumstances, especially since Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t always be in Capital City. If the Yes were in danger and Ye Chenfeng happened to be unable to return in time, the support of the Soldier King Group would definitely ensure the safety of the Yes.

Before Ye Chenfeng achieved supreme prowess and expanded his influence, having this commitment from the Soldier King Group was certainly a considerable advantage. After all, the Soldier King Group had an extraordinary status in Huaxia, a position that was not solely based on brute strength but on many years of accumulated heritage. Otherwise, with Ye Chenfeng’s ability to single-handedly take on all the members of the Soldier King Group, would he still need a promise from Wu Guotian? (To be continued.
