The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 355 Distribution
Chapter 355: Chapter 355 Distribution
In Wu State, at Xu Pengfei’s villa, Xu Pengfei stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of his study and drew the curtains that blocked the view. The sun had not yet risen, and the sky looked somewhat gloomy.
"Young Master Xu, yesterday’s mission failed," said a middle-aged man called Xiao Lang, standing behind Xu Pengfei, speaking carefully.
Xu Pengfei didn’t turn around but simply waved his hand, signaling Xiao Lang to leave. Once Xiao Lang had left the study, Xu Pengfei looked out at the horizon through the window. A faint smile appeared on his pale face as he stretched his arms slightly and muttered to himself, "Ye Chenfeng? Interesting. Since you managed to survive the hands of five assassins, I might as well take a trip to Capital City to meet you. You’re worthy of being Xu Pengfei’s opponent. But I do hope you’re not too fragile, or else the game would be no fun."
...
In mid-July, the mornings in Capital City were also somewhat sultry, with the occasional breeze feeling exceptionally refreshing.
Today, Ye Chenfeng didn’t wake up early to exercise. He had spent last night with Wu Xiaofei and upon waking in the morning, simply cuddled with her in bed, occasionally taking liberties with Wu Xiaofei, causing the blush on her cheeks to never fade.
As Ye Chenfeng and Wu Xiaofei came downstairs, Grandpa Wu Anguo had already arrived at the Yes’ very early. Upon seeing the way his granddaughter Wu Xiaofei walked, he exchanged a knowing look with Ye Zhenhong, their faces blooming like chrysanthemums. These two old men, having been through it all, could tell at a glance that Wu Xiaofei had undergone a complete transformation.
"Xiaofei, from now on, you should stay with the Yes. Spend time with Chenfeng and develop your feelings for each other. Zhenhong and I will decide when to hold your wedding," Wu Anguo said with a chuckle.
Feeling the scrutinizing gazes of Wu Anguo and Ye Zhenhong, Wu Xiaofei’s cheeks turned once again into ripe red apples. She stealthily twisted a soft part of Ye Chenfeng’s waist and whispered, "Chenfeng, this is all your fault. Now your grandpa and mine are probably laughing at me."
Ye Chenfeng, with his arms around Wu Xiaofei, leaned in close to her ear and said, "Sister Xiaofei, how can you blame me? Don’t forget, you were the one who brought it up last night. How could I have had the heart to refuse!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaofei, head bowed, walked silently toward the dining table in the living room.
"Grandpa, why was Uncle nowhere to be seen early this morning?" Ye Chenfeng also approached the dining table and casually bit into a slice of bread he picked up.
Ye Zhenhong spoke irritably, "Don’t even mention your uncle. He’s got a girlfriend now and has forgotten this house. He ran out for a date early in the morning." Though Ye Zhenhong complained, he was actually pleased; Ye Dongjian had finally settled his life’s big matter, and this was a weight off his chest.
"Chenfeng, you and Xiaofei better buckle down! Try to have a few more children, so Zhenhong and I can retire and help you two with the kids," Wu Anguo said.
Wu Xiaofei had just taken a sip of milk when, upon hearing her grandfather’s words, she couldn’t help but spray it out, embarassment overwhelming her emotions. She glowered fiercely at Ye Chenfeng.

Xiang Man Lou in Capital City is considered a mid-to-high-end restaurant. At noon, Han Wei and the others invited Ye Chenfeng to Xiang Man Lou, and in the past two days, they had completed their investigation into the distribution of power throughout Capital City.
In Xiang Man Lou’s private room number eight, Han Wei, Fang Hui, Ren Hong, Yuan An, Brother Hu, and Tie Niu were all present, with the table filled with the restaurant’s signature dishes.
"Boss, I’ve finished the investigation on Wu State’s Xu family, that you asked for last night. However, this family from Wu State has a big connection with one of Capital City’s underground forces! Here are two documents, one on the distribution of Capital City’s underground forces and the other with detailed information on Wu State’s Xu family," Han Wei said as he handed over two sets of neatly arranged documents to Ye Chenfeng.
Capital City’s largest underground forces were comprised of four entities: Dragon Tyranny Association, Blood Dyed Association, Wanren Association, and Honghai Association, of which Honghai Association was the weakest. However, in Capital City, no other gang dared to provoke Honghai Association. The reason was simple: the real foundation of Honghai Association wasn’t in Capital City. Or rather, its presence in Capital City was just a minor branch.
The true power of Honghai Association lay in Wu State, and the Xu family of Wu State were the ones pulling the strings. It was well known that the Xus had a certain standing in both the military and political spheres of Wu State. Since ancient times, the common folk did not struggle against officials, and although the Xus’ power wasn’t in Capital City, other underground forces in Capital City still showed them respect. As long as Honghai Association didn’t seize their interests, they naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for them. Therefore, over the years, Honghai Association managed to develop quite decently in Capital City.
As Ye Chenfeng perused the Xu family of Wu State’s information, he was astonished to find that Ning Yuting was actually the Xu family’s daughter-in-law. So, could it be that the Xu family’s hostility towards him stemmed from Ning Yuting’s issues? He couldn’t think of any other reason, considering he had never had any dealings with the Xu family of Wu State before and hadn’t even been aware of their existence.
Ye Chenfeng wasn’t someone who liked to cause trouble, yet trouble always seemed to find him. Not causing trouble didn’t mean he was afraid of it. At that moment, in his heart, he had already added the Xu family of Wu State to his blacklist. Since they wanted his life, why should he treat them courteously?
However, considering the Xu family’s reputation in Wu State, Ye Chenfeng knew that dealing with them would have to be a gradual process. For now, sorting out Capital City’s affairs was his priority.
"If we want Victory Sky Society to rise in Capital City, first we need our own members. Right now, we only have a few of us," Ye Chenfeng paused, then continued, "But this shouldn’t be a problem for us. As long as we take over a small gang in Capital City, Victory Sky Society will immediately have a foundation. That’s exactly what I did in Tianhai."
"Boss, I totally agree with your suggestion. These past few days in Capital City I’ve been so idle I could have gone mad. It’s perfect for getting some action," Brother Hu eagerly said, his expression one of impatience.
"Little Hu, what’s the rush? Capital City is nothing like Tianhai; the waters run deep here! There will always be chances to satisfy your craving for action. Right now, we need to decide on our first target. I’ll join in for the first time, but after that, everything will be up to you guys. Unless absolutely necessary, I won’t make a move," Ye Chenfeng said, wanting to cultivate Han Wei, Brother Hu, and the others’ ability to handle affairs on their own.
"Boss, you must be joking! If you take action, what’s left for us to do? We follow you with the intention of embarking on a grand and vigorous venture," the intelligent giant, Yuan An, said with a laugh.
"Exactly! Boss, we’re not pushovers. Following you, we want to prove our worth," Ren Hong also stated.
"The boss’s role is to stand up for us when we’re being bullied. Other times, it’s enough for you to watch us from behind the scenes," Fang Hui immediately chimed in.
"Looks like you all have a lot of confidence in yourselves! That’s good. In that case, I’ll wait and see," Ye Chenfeng said, lifting the wine glass full of red wine in front of him. "Alright, let’s not talk business for now. Let’s eat. After the meal, we’ll discuss in detail how to take the first step," he said.
"Boss, I toast to you."
"Boss, I toast to you."
"Boss, I toast to you."
...
For a moment, Han Wei and the others all raised their glasses, and Ye Chenfeng downed his red wine in one go. He cherished this feeling of eating and drinking with brothers, something he didn’t get to experience in his last life. In the past, his life was almost entirely spent running around carrying out missions, with only his girlfriend for company. Thus, he had never truly understood the depth of brotherhood.
But in this life, he had many brothers—Monkey, Li Pangzi, Brother Hu, Tie Niu, and others—who allowed him to truly comprehend what brotherhood meant. This was especially true when Monkey and Li Pangzi were captured by agents from the Island Nation. (To be continued.
