The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 351: The Excitement is Just Beginning
Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Excitement is Just Beginning
Capital City, as the capital of Huaxia Country, naturally has very deep waters. Many of the city’s prominent families keep a close watch on everything that happens each day. News of Ye Chenfeng’s fight in the Capital Military Region, where he bested four male officers and the military’s goddess Ning Yuting, quickly reached their ears.
Last time Ye Chenfeng had disabled Song Bin, the eldest son of the Songs, there were almost no witnesses present, so they harbored doubts about the incident, believing that the Ye family fool couldn’t possibly be Song Bin’s match. However, this time Ye Chenfeng fought openly in the Military Region, which is equipped with surveillance cameras. It didn’t take long for the major families to use their connections to get their hands on the footage of Ye Chenfeng defeating the four officers and military goddess Ning Yuting.
Ye Chenfeng had long anticipated that events would unfold in this direction. His strength had reached the Eighth Level of Soul Force, and he no longer wanted to keep a low profile. What’s more, this time he intended to return to Capital City with a show of strength. His true self would be revealed to the major families of Capital City sooner or later, so why continue to hide?
Ye Chenfeng hoped this incident would draw out the real culprit behind his parents’ car accident.
In the Songs’ residence, within Elder Song Yigang’s dimly lit study, the curtains were drawn.
The television screen in front of Song Yigang was showing the footage of Ye Chenfeng defeating Cai Qiang and the others effortlessly. His murky eyes suddenly sparked with a fierce light, filled with intense murderous intent. After all, his grandson Song Bin had both his hands and feet crippled by Ye Chenfeng and was still confined to a hospital bed to this day!
Standing next to Song Yigang was a man dressed in a dark, long robe, his face concealed within the hood, making it impossible to discern the expression he wore at that moment.
"I’ve long suspected Ye Chenfeng was not as simple as he seemed. The assassin you sent to Tianhai was probably dealt with by Ye Chenfeng, yet you did not believe me then. You should believe me now," said Song Yigang, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.
The man in black shifted his position and said, "Song Yigang, mind your tone. Your Song family is merely one of our pawns in the secular world. A pawn must have the consciousness of being a pawn. As for this Ye Chenfeng, he indeed seems quite interesting. I’m starting to take an interest in him. Perhaps the person we sent to Tianhai was really killed by him."
"However, some things cannot be rushed. In my eyes, Ye Chenfeng is nothing more than a somewhat stronger ant. No matter how strong he may be, he cannot escape the fate of an ant. In the end, he will certainly be crushed by us. Let him enjoy a few more days of comfort! He has just returned to Capital City with such momentum; it would be no fun if he were to die so soon. I want to see him plunge into the abyss at the peak of his spirits. I enjoy the sense of despair when someone falls from the pinnacle to the depths. It is a very delightful thing to witness."
The face of the man in the hooded cloak remained hidden as he roughly estimated Ye Chenfeng’s strength based on the footage. If he knew that the power Ye Chenfeng displayed in the Military Region was just the tip of the iceberg, he would likely not remain so composed. Would Ye Chenfeng become the man in black’s prey, or would it be the other way around? That was still an unknown!
Song Yigang’s hand, gnarled and veiny, clenched into a fist, and after a moment, he exhaled slowly and relaxed his grip, saying, "Alright then, I’ll wait a little longer. When the time comes, I’ll make sure that little bastard Ye Chenfeng dies a horrible death, and the Ye family never sees the light of day again."
"That day will come soon. As long as you, the Songs, remain our faithful dogs, there is an old saying after all: ’Even when punishing a dog, one must consider its master.’ With our backing, your Song family will soon become the number one family in Huaxia Country," the man in black responded with a calm voice that rippled with no emotion, as if elevating the Song family to the status of the top family in Huaxia was a trivial matter.
Song Yigang made no attempt to rebut the derogatory remarks of the man in black, seemingly acquiescing. He nodded faintly and replied, "Rest assured, as long as you keep your promises to our Song family, we will gladly continue to serve as your loyal dogs."
"Hahaha—" The man in black let out a hoarse laugh from his throat, "It’s good that you have this understanding. For now, do not take any action against Ye Chenfeng. I believe others will naturally deal with him. If someone else can handle Ye Chenfeng, it will save us the trouble of intervening."
...
At the same time, in Elder Bai’s study room at the Bais’, Bai Hongfang was watching the same footage of Ye Chenfeng getting into a fight at the Capital Military Region on the television screen. Standing by Bai Hongfang’s side was a middle-aged man named Bai Yanxin, who was the father of Bai Xueling, the most beautiful woman in Capital City.
Watching Ye Chenfeng on the screen effortlessly take down four male officers from the Military Region, as well as the scene where he spanked the military’s goddess, Ning Yuting, a wry smile appeared on Bai Hongfang’s face. If he still thought Ye Chenfeng was a fool now, then he himself would truly be the fool.
Now Bai Hongfang was starting to regret the decision he had made to call off the engagement with the Yes. Otherwise, the outstanding young man on the television should have been his grandson-in-law! And now...
"Yanxin, what do you think of Ye Chenfeng?" Bai Hongfang asked his son beside him.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Yanxin said, "Dad, if we could still deceive ourselves into believing that the last incident involving Ye Chenfeng crippling Song Bin might not have been his doing, this time the truth is right in front of us. It seems that Song Bin was indeed disabled by Ye Chenfeng. Ye Chenfeng really is inscrutable! He’s deceived everyone in Capital City!"
Bai Hongfang nodded in agreement and said, "Everyone in Capital City says Ye Chenfeng is a fool, but it seems that all these years, he has been enduring in silence! I can’t believe that a fool could suddenly become so powerful, so the only explanation is this: why did the Yes make Ye Chenfeng hold back? Originally, with talents like his, he could have definitely been a standout among the young people of Capital City!"
"Dad, the questions you are pondering are only known to the Yes themselves. However, now that Ye Chenfeng has chosen to reveal his true self, his rise in Capital City should not be far off. The city might change because of his return," Bai Yanxin said with a slight frown.
"Yanxin, it seems I was too hasty when I went to the Yes to break off the engagement! As an outstanding young man, Ye Chenfeng would have more than sufficed as our Bai’s son-in-law! Regrettably, I personally let such an excellent son-in-law slip through our fingers, and I can’t help feeling aggrieved," Elder Bai expressed with remorse.
"Now I finally understand why, when I went to the Yes to call off the engagement, Elder Wu from Wu Anguo was in such a hurry to get engaged with them. Given the relationship between the Wus and the Yes, Elder Wu must have known Ye Chenfeng was extraordinary, and that’s why he was so eager to seize this opportunity. How could I not have seen this at the time!"
Regret filled Bai Hongfang’s chest, causing his heart to feel stifled, as if he was holding his breath.
"Dad, since what’s done is done, we shouldn’t dwell on it. However, it won’t be easy for Ye Chenfeng to rise in Capital City. Now that his true side has been exposed, naturally there are people in Capital City who don’t want to see him grow stronger or the Yes become more powerful. There are countless young prodigies who have died young throughout history. Whether Ye Chenfeng can rise in Capital City will depend on his own abilities," Bai Yanxin insightfully pierced through the essence of the whole affair.
"Yanxin, you’re right. I’m getting old and don’t have the vigor of my youth. I have a strong premonition that Ye Chenfeng will definitely rise in Capital City. Our previous cancellation of the engagement was our first debt to the Yes; if Ye Chenfeng runs into trouble in Capital City in the future, let’s give him a hand if we can," Bai Hongfang waved his hand and then slowly closed his eyes as he sat back in his chair.
Seeing that his father had stopped talking, Bai Yanxin quietly left the study.
Little did they know, the strength Ye Chenfeng displayed that day was just the beginning of an unfolding Chapter, and the real excitement had just begun. (To be continued.
