The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 800 - 796: A Matter of a Phone Call

Besides Li Pangzi who was aware of Ye Chenfeng’s identity, no one had expected that in the face of twenty-some handguns, Ye Chenfeng would dare to utter such a bewildering statement. Jiang Zihua’s father, Jiang Dongyang, was undeniably the director, and in Sanzhou City, his words carried a lot of weight.

Standing at the entrance of the clothing store, the female attendant Ding Xiaoning, her face filled with struggle, knew very well that this whole incident was caused by Jiang Zihua. If Ye Chenfeng was taken to the police station by Jiang Zihua’s father, he might never get out in his lifetime. She hesitated, wondering whether she should speak out for Ye Chenfeng and help prove his innocence?

Meanwhile, Xia Zining, who stood beside Ye Chenfeng, showed no signs of worry on her face. It was her first encounter with handguns from the Secular World, and though she sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the dark muzzles, she believed in Ye Chenfeng’s strength, comparable to that of a master in the Sky-breaking Realm. She knew if Ye Chenfeng really wanted to take action, these people would merely become ghosts under his command.

After much hesitation, the kind-hearted Ding Xiaoning couldn’t help but step forward and said, "This whole matter was provoked by Jiang Zihua. It was Jiang Zihua who ordered his two bodyguards to attack first, so this customer was merely acting in self-defense."

Jiang Dongyang, initially considering the words of Ye Chenfeng, wondered if Ye Chenfeng might be a young master from a prominent family. Now, hearing this damned young female attendant daring to confront him, he felt humiliated.

So, Jiang Dongyang hardened his heart and roared, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and capture the criminal."

Now, Jiang Dongyang just wanted to take Ye Chenfeng back to the police station first and then thoroughly investigate his identity. If he indeed was a young master from a major family, then Jiang Dongyang would apologize since his Jiang family too was a prominent family in Sanzhou City, with many of his siblings holding various official positions.

However, if Ye Chenfeng was not a young master from a significant family, then Jiang Dongyang would definitely make Ye Chenfeng disappear from Sanzhou City.

"You haven’t even clarified the case yet, how can you arrest someone? Are you police intending to enforce the law with such violence?" Ding Xiaoning, seeing that Jiang Dongyang ignored her, didn’t know where her courage came from, but she shouted out these words.

Years later, Ding Xiaoning would be proud of her outburst today, for it radically changed the trajectory of her life, though that is a story for another time.

After Ding Xiaoning had shouted, the other customers in the Tianmao Building all turned their attention to this side, which made Jiang Dongyang even more resentful of Ding Xiaoning.

Standing next to Ding Xiaoning, another female attendant, Sister Hu, saw an opportunity, perhaps one to soar high. As long as she could cling to Director Jiang, wouldn’t her life completely change?

Having realized this, Sister Hu immediately went to Director Jiang’s side and said, "Director Jiang, this Ding Xiaoning is clearly with them. It was definitely them who attacked Jiang Zihua first. I can be a witness and help Director Jiang identify the criminal."

Jiang Dongyang, seeing the quite ordinary-looking Sister Hu flirting in front of him, could easily guess her intentions. Though she was average in appearance, she had a decent figure, and right now, Jiang Dongyang needed a witness. He whispered to Sister Hu, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down once this is over."

Emboldened by Jiang Dongyang’s promise, Sister Hu grew more excited and recklessly pointed at Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Director Jiang, please hurry up and arrest this criminal. He was the first to attack Jiang Zihua."

"Sister Hu, how can you slander someone like this? Don’t you realize you’re helping a tyrant?" Ding Xiaoning didn’t expect Sister Hu to pull such a move and was so angered that her delicate body trembled.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Ding Xiaoning with satisfaction. He hadn’t expected this woman to have such a strong sense of justice. He didn’t want to waste any more time here. If he were to knock down all these policemen, it might probably only escalate the situation. Ye Chenfeng turned to Li Pangzi and said, "Lend me your phone to make a call. My phone is dead."

Li Pangzi, knowing his boss was going to pull some strings, quickly handed his phone to Ye Chenfeng, casting a sympathetic glance at Jiang Dongyang. He knew that if his boss called in some connections, Jiang Dongyang would likely not only be stripped of his uniform but might also face imprisonment.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng preparing to make a phone call, Jiang Dongyang became even more puzzled, "Could this kid really be the young master of some major family? I’d better wait for him to finish this call before making any move. Without knowing his identity, it’s better not to escalate the situation too far."

Jiang Dongyang, after all, was an old hand in the political arena, and he tended to think things through more thoroughly.

After getting Li Pangzi’s phone, Ye Chenfeng directly dialed his grandfather Ye Zhenhong’s private number. Upon connection, a very weary voice came through, "Hello?"

"Grandpa, it’s Chenfeng!" Ye Chenfeng spoke up.

Hearing it was Ye Chenfeng, Ye Zhenhong on the other end immediately perked up, "Chenfeng, why are you calling me? Aren’t you supposed to be in the Ancient Martial World for at least two years?"

"Grandpa, let’s talk about it when I get back! I’ll probably be back in Capital City in the next two days. It’s not clear enough over the phone, but, Grandpa, I’ve run into some trouble in Sanzhou City. There are a lot of police pointing their guns at your grandson’s head, I..."

Ye Chenfeng hadn’t finished speaking when an angry voice of Old Master Wu from Wu Anguo came through the phone, "Chenfeng, what on earth is going on? Who dares to point a gun at my son-in-law’s head? They must be itching for a fight. Tell me quickly what happened."

On the other end, Old Master Wu happened to be in Old Master Ye’s study, and after knowing it was Ye Chenfeng calling, Old Master Wu let Old Master Ye press the speakerphone, so he also heard what Ye Chenfeng said.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Wu, here’s what happened..." Ye Chenfeng briefly described the conduct of Jiang Dongyang and his son.

After listening to Ye Chenfeng’s account, the temperamental Old Master Wu immediately said, "Is it just a minor bureau chief in Sanzhou City? Chenfeng, rest easy, his days as bureau chief are over. Your grandpa and I will handle this immediately."

"Then I’d like to thank Grandpa and Grandpa Wu in advance," Ye Chenfeng casually remarked.

"Chenfeng, once we sort out the situation in Sanzhou City, you’d better come straight back to Capital City. Since you’ve come out of the Ancient Martial World, there are some matters here that might need your help," Old Master Ye said over the phone.

"Okay, Grandpa, it’s probably too late today, but I’ll take a direct flight to Capital City first thing tomorrow." Ye Chenfeng readily agreed. He could hear some weariness in Old Master Ye and Old Master Wu’s voices, but it wasn’t convenient to chat over the phone, so Ye Chenfeng planned to discuss further after returning to Capital City.

After finishing the call with Old Master Ye, Ye Chenfeng returned the phone to Li Pangzi, confident that with his grandfathers’ capabilities, Jiang Dongyang would receive a call from the higher-ups within about ten minutes, after which he would be utterly miserable. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Your time as bureau chief is up; I expect someone will call you within ten minutes," Ye Chenfeng said indifferently to Jiang Dongyang.

Jiang Dongyang, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s arrogant words, somewhat thought Ye Chenfeng was bluffing. The Jiang family’s status in Sanzhou City was nearly untouchable, unless someone from the top-tier elders of Huaxia Country personally intervened. Seeing how casually Ye Chenfeng had made the call, he now firmly believed Ye Chenfeng was just bluffing.

"Kid, don’t try to scare me; I, Jiang Dongyang, am not frightened easily," Jiang Dongyang gritted his teeth and declared.

Standing next to Jiang Dongyang, Sister Hu also thought Ye Chenfeng’s words were utterly ridiculous. Just a simple phone call could kick Jiang Dongyang out of his position as bureau chief? That was simply impossible. Thus, Sister Hu laughed, "Young people these days love to boast. As today’s perpetrator, you must face the consequences for your actions."

Beside them, the waitress Ding Xiaoning saw that even at this time, Ye Chenfeng was still making bold statements; she somewhat regretted having stepped forward to speak up for Ye Chenfeng earlier. In her view, Ye Chenfeng’s words were indeed a bit ludicrous. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for it and support it with your votes.
