The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 531: A Hair-Trigger Situation

As the elderly Mr. Ye and the elderly Mr. Wu firmly declared their stance, a guard responsible for watching over the entrance of the Ye residence walked into the living room with steady steps. He reported to the elderly Mr. Ye that there were visitors outside and carefully disclosed their identities.

"It seems that Old Man Song really wants to pursue this matter to the end today? He even called for Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan? Does he really think that I, Ye Zhenhong, and the Ye family are so easily bullied?"

A dignified air, commanding even without anger, came over the elderly Mr. Ye’s face. Yu Fengnian, whom he mentioned, was the elder who always sat at the head of the table during meetings; the Yu family had overwhelming influence in Capital City, even slightly surpassing that of the Ye family. Yang Yuan, whom he also mentioned, ranked just below Yu Fengnian. Although the Yang family’s strength in Capital City was not as great as the Yu family’s, it was on par with the Ye family. From this, it was clear that Old Man Song didn’t call these two elders over for anything good.

"Let them in," the elder Mr. Ye said with quiet authority.

After the man left the living room, the elderly Mr. Wu’s brow furrowed as he said, "Zhenhong, it seems they are indeed bearers of ill intentions today. If it were just the Songs, we would needn’t worry at all. The combined strength of our Wu family and your Ye family is more than enough to overwhelm the Songs. But now that the Yus and the Yangs are involved, the situation doesn’t look optimistic for us."

"An Guo, when soldiers come, a general will resist; when water rises, a dam will hold. Today, if anyone dares harm a hair on my grandson, they won’t escape my wrath. I don’t fear a pyrrhic victory; what I do fear is once again sending white hair to guard black hair. Even if the Emperor himself were to appear today, I would use these old bones to ensure my grandson’s safety," Elder Mr. Ye said, his wrinkled palm suddenly tightening, a gesture that brought to mind the death of Chenfeng’s parents.

Wu Anguo sighed and his eyes too took on a resolute look. "Zhenhong, Chenfeng is my granddaughter’s husband, and I, Wu Anguo, absolutely will not allow those old men to have their way."

"Zhenhong, we have the courage for a fight to the bitter end; do they possess the same courage?"

Hearing the protective words of the two elders, Chenfeng felt a warm glow in his heart. With his current martial prowess, he could not yet stand at the peak of the world; otherwise, he would not have merely inflicted severe injuries on Song Feng and turned Song Bin into a eunuch, he would have sent both of them directly to meet the King of Hell, at which point those high-ranking elders would no doubt have been too scared to even fart.

After all, all power and influence crumble to ash before absolute strength.

During the exchange between the two elders, nine individuals with varying expressions on their faces entered the Ye living room. They were Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, the Family Head of the Songs, Song Yigang, Song Bin’s parents Song Gui and Hu Lu, the current controllers of the Bais, Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun, as well as the grandfathers of the two Capital City second-rate family heirs whose "eggs" had been crushed by Ye Chenfeng, Cao Hua and Wei Yiping. Such a lineup was indeed formidable within the entire Capital City.

Among the nine, only Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan wore polite smiles, while the faces of the others were incredibly stern, filled with anger. The moment they stepped into the Ye living room, their eyes fixed on Chenfeng.

If glares could kill, comrade Ye Chenfeng would have died hundreds, if not thousands of times by now.

"Zhenhong, An Guo, we’ve come unannounced; surely you two don’t feel unwelcome?" Yu Fengnian asked, refraining from mentioning Chenfeng’s issue right from the start.

With a sneer, elder Mr. Ye, Ye Zhenhong responded, "Yu Fengnian, spare me your small talk. Let’s speak openly and not waste each other’s time."

"Zhenhong is right. With such a grand display, you must be here to seek accountability, right? Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, when did you two start to fancy meddling in others’ affairs?" Wu Anguo said outright.

Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan’s expression became a bit awkward in response to the blunt approach of Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo. However, Song Yigang stepped forward and said, "Ye Zhenhong, Wu Anguo, today I have brought Old Yu and Old Yang here to seek justice for my Song family. The young scoundrel from your Ye family has gone too far today."

"Indeed, Old Master Song speaks the truth. On what basis did Ye Chenfeng cripple my son Bai Shaohua? Isn’t he forcing me, Bai Yanping, to face extermination of my lineage? The Ye family must provide an explanation today," Bai Yanping said.

"Ye Chenfeng is really too cruel. Even if my son made a grave mistake, it’s not his place to punish. And what’s more, he ruthlessly crushed ’that’ place on my son Bai Xingwei," followed Bai Yanjun in agreement.

"Family Head Ye, our Cao family might only be a second-tier family in Capital City, but my grandson being crippled by your grandson Ye Chenfeng is a matter that demands an explanation," Cao Hua demanded loudly.

"Family Head Ye, our Wei family is indeed deeply pained by Ye Chenfeng’s ruthlessness. I only have this one grandson, now who will carry on the family name?" Wei Yiping angrily asked.

Following the Bais, the Caos, and the Weis speaking up, as Song Bin’s mother, Hu Lu could no longer hold back. She had wanted to fiercely scold Ye Chenfeng for some time, and suddenly she burst out like a fishwife: "Ye Chenfeng, you little beast, where did our little Bin offend you? Last time, you crippled his four limbs, and we, the Songs, swallowed our humiliation. Do you want our little Bin to die before you’re satisfied?"

"You heartless little beast, I think your parents dying early was a blessing, saving them from seeing your disgusting face. Today, you must pay the price for what you’ve done."

Ye Chenfeng had managed to remain calm in the face of Hu Lu’s insults, however, when she mentioned his deceased parents, his black eyes instantly narrowed, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his entire body. His parents were his reverse scale, and Hu Lu had touched upon this sensitive nerve.

Ye Zhenhong’s face also changed color. His eldest son and daughter-in-law were an eternal pain in his heart that could never be erased. Now Hu Lu was saying Ye Chenfeng’s parents dying early was a blessing? This was like pouring oil on the fire that was already burning inside Ye Zhenhong! It was purely seeking discomfort for herself.

Equally enraged was Ye Dongjian, whose brotherly bond with Ye Chenfeng’s father was extremely deep. In fifth grade, that brother dared to take up a kitchen knife to protect his younger sibling, which to Ye Dongjian meant that no one in this world had the right to insult his brother.

Facing the thoroughly angered Ye Zhenhong, Ye Dongjian, and Ye Chenfeng, Hu Lu felt a bone-chilling coldness, and a cold smirk crossed Ye Chenfeng’s lips as he walked toward Hu Lu.

Hu Lu, eyeing Ye Chenfeng as he approached, took a deep breath. Considering that Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan were present, would this little beast Ye Chenfeng dare to lay a hand on her? Her emotions suddenly calmed down, her arrogance flaring up again as she said, "Ye Chenfeng, you little beast, was there anything wrong with what I said?"

Hu Lu did not get a reply from Ye Chenfeng, only seeing his expression turn even colder, his steps unhalting.

"Ye Chenfeng, what do you think you are doing?" Yu Fengnian spoke up sharply.

"Ye Chenfeng, you’d better not get reckless in front of us." Yang Yuan also promptly snapped.

Ye Chenfeng still did not respond.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

He walked firmly towards Hu Lu, "Slap!" A crisp sound rang out on Hu Lu’s cheek, sending her flying with a slap, several broken teeth spewing from her mouth in midair. freёnovelkiss.com

Hu Lu’s mind still recalled her foolish thought from before: with Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan present, would Ye Chenfeng, this little beast, dare to hit her?

And yet, Ye Chenfeng did dare.

The slap was delivered with resolute decisiveness.

Tensions were about to erupt. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
