The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 533: Parting on Bad Terms

"Ye Zhenhong, Wu Anguo, are you two really trying to protect Ye Chenfeng? Even if my second son, Song Feng, is not capable enough, could Ye Chenfeng have seriously injured him? Even if my grandson, Song Bin, and Bai Shaohua along with four others had intentions to do something to Bai Xueling, could Ye Chenfeng have completely crippled them?"

Song Yigang stared at Elder Ye and Elder Wu with burning eyes, as if flames were about to shoot out of them. Having come to the Yes’ residence today, there was no way he would leave empty-handed, especially considering that both Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan were currently on his side.

With things having escalated to this point, the stance of Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan became even stronger. If they couldn’t take Ye Chenfeng away today, they would lose all face. This would only bolster the Yes’ influence in Capital City. If things continued like this, wouldn’t the Yes be riding roughshod over them in a few years?

Yu Fengnian’s ability to control his emotions was quite impressive. He secretly took a few deep breaths, and after exhaling slowly, his face resumed its natural expression as he spoke in an even tone, "Zhenhong, An Guo, since Old Yang and I are here today, please give us some face and let us take Ye Chenfeng with us first. If it is as he says, we definitely won’t make things difficult for him."

Yang Yuan’s ability to control his emotions was clearly not as good as Yu Fengnian’s. His face was still very long, and he spoke in a harsh tone, "Ye Zhenhong, Wu Anguo, today Ye Chenfeng must come with us."

"Right, even if my son made a mistake, it’s not up to Ye Chenfeng to punish him, is it? Today Ye Chenfeng must go with Elders Yu and Yang," Bai Yanping said angrily.

"Family Head Ye, are you really going to shield him just because Ye Chenfeng is your grandson?" Bai Yanjun’s eyes, burning with rage, darted towards Ye Chenfeng from time to time, as if he wanted to tear Ye Chenfeng apart.

"Family Head Ye, even in ancient times, the emperor was subject to the same laws as the common people. The same is true today," Cao Hua said solemnly.

"Family Head Ye, you might as well let us take Ye Chenfeng. Otherwise, I’m afraid we won’t leave the Yes’ residence today," Wei Yiping immediately added in a cold tone.

After hearing Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan’s firm stance, one by one, their spirit flared up considerably, daring to openly challenge the Yes. This must be the so-called ’borrowing a tiger’s fierceness.’

Hu Lu, Song Bin’s mother who had just gotten up from the ground, saw the current situation, felt the burning pain on her cheek, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She was sure the Yes were about to succumb to the pressure, and soon Elder Ye would have no choice but to hand over Ye Chenfeng.

Old Master Ye’s breathing became somewhat rapid through his nose, his chest rising and falling slightly. His wrinkled hands clenched and gathered, clenched and gathered, over the span of three rounds before he barely calmed down, his fierce eyes exuding chilling air.

Old Master Wu was also extremely displeased. Did Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, and Song Yigang really make up their minds to take Ye Chenfeng away today? Did they actually think Wu Anguo and Ye Zhenhong were dead or something?

Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming also felt Yu Fengnian and the others were being too overbearing. However, in this level of conversation, they had no right to speak and could only suppress their frustration within their hearts.

Present at the scene, Wu Xiaofei and Bai Xueling watched Ye Chenfeng with concern. The former because she loved Ye Chenfeng deeply, and the latter because she felt she had dragged Ye Chenfeng into this mess.

Ye Chenfeng, the person in question, remained calm and collected on his face, but the corner of his mouth revealed a chill-inducing smile as he said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Wu, I think they’re absolutely right. I can go with them today."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Old Master Ye and Old Master Wu changed in an instant, while Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, and the others showed delight on their faces. Yu Fengnian said, "Young Master Ye, at least you know your place."

Yang Yuan nodded and added, "Now you can come with us."

Just when everyone thought that Ye Chenfeng was about to back down, he spoke again, "I haven’t finished speaking yet. It’s fine for me to go with you, but you all like to take justice into your own hands, don’t you? As I know, many young masters from the prominent families in Capital City are hardly ever idle—it wouldn’t be surprising if your grandsons have broken the law too!"

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze fixed upon Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan, then turned to Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo, and continued, "Grandpa, Grandpa Wu, I believe with your capabilities, it shouldn’t be difficult to investigate the past deeds of the young scions of Capital City’s great families, right? Since everything must be handled according to the rules, let’s help them out this time by capturing all the offenders from Capital City’s major families and have them face sanctions."

One must know that many of the scions from Capital City’s great families usually lead lives of leisure, each having had their share of sordid dealings. If a serious investigation were to take place, it’s likely that a large portion of the young generation of these families would end up apprehended, which is no laughing matter.

Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo immediately understood Ye Chenfeng’s intention; Ye Zhenhong spoke, "Alright, Chenfeng, you can set your mind at ease and go with them. I assure you that within one day, I’ll have a thorough investigation completed on all the young members of Capital City’s great families and their past actions."

"Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, you can take Chenfeng now. I will also look into your grandsons’ histories, and when the time comes, you both better maintain the same fairness as you’re displaying today. It was your families—the Yus, the Yangs, the Songs, the Bais, the Caos, and the Weis—that wanted to escalate this matter. We don’t mind playing along. If all the Capital City families end up in turmoil, don’t blame us," Wu Anguo said with a chuckle, stealthily giving Ye Chenfeng a thumbs up for his masterful move.

Each of Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, and their companions’ faces turned unsightly. If the Yes and the Wus really went through with it, the consequences would be uncontrollable. They wanted to release their fury, but there was no justifiable reason to do so; it was such a frustrating feeling that they felt like their lungs would burst from anger.

Attempting to take Ye Chenfeng with them today had become an impossibility unless they were willing to pay any price, even at the risk of causing all of Capital City’s major families to descend into chaos—a situation with severe repercussions.

Yu Fengnian’s countenance kept shifting as he snorted coldly from his throat and said, "Ye Zhenhong, make sure your grandson Ye Chenfeng behaves himself. He had better not cause any more trouble in the future."

Seeing Yu Fengnian walking towards the exit of Ye family’s parlor, Yang Yuan left silently without a single word. After all, why stay and face further embarrassment?

Following the departure of Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan, Song Yigang, Bai Yanping, and others also had to hurriedly take their leave.

They had arrived with overwhelming force but left in sheer frustration, parting on acrimonious terms.

What Yu Fengnian and Yang Yuan didn’t know was that the Songs had already colluded with factions from the Ancient Martial World and were eagerly preparing to move against Capital City’s major families. They had actually sided with the Songs today? Perhaps when the truth eventually comes to light, it will leave these two old men foaming at the mouth in rage, or maybe then they’ll realize just how foolish they’ve been. (To be continued.
