The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 218: Dynamics

Ye Fool had returned to Capital City.

At the Royal Club in Capital City, Ye Fool had a fierce fight with Song Bin and even crippled Song Bin’s arms and legs entirely. News of all kinds quickly reached the ears of the major families in Capital City.

Capital City was like a calm lake into which a large stone had been thrown, causing waves to swell, and naturally, many people from Capital City’s families were skeptical about this event.

After all, Ye Fool’s foolish reputation was well known, and as for Song Bin, who in Capital City didn’t know that his skills surpassed those of an average special forces soldier?

Ye Fool crippled Song Bin? If it had been said that Song Bin had crippled Ye Fool, the people from these major families would have no doubt believed it.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one for many in Capital City.

In a VIP ward of a high-class private hospital in Capital City, Family Head Song Yigang watched his grandson, Song Bin, who was still in a coma on the bed, and a fiery rage ignited within him. His withered palms clenched tightly into fists, his eyelids narrowed, leaving only a slit through which one could vaguely see Song Yigang’s gloomy eyes, filled with murderous intent.

Song Bin’s father and mother, Song Gui and Hu Lu, stood silently beside the hospital bed. Hu Lu’s eyes were swirling with tears. Her younger son, Song Zhong, was nowhere to be found and had likely met with an accident, whereas her older son, Song Bin, had now had his limbs broken by someone. According to the hospital’s doctors, the bones in Song Bin’s limbs had been pulverized and could not be surgically reattached, resigning Song Bin to spend the rest of his life on a bed or in a wheelchair.

Song Bin’s eyelids twitched twice, and he slowly opened them. Upon seeing the people in the room, he couldn’t help asking, "Grandpa? Dad? Mom?"

"You’re awake? I thought you were such a useless thing that you’d never wake up!" Although Song Yigang spoke harshly, he cared deeply for Song Bin in his heart.

Elder Song had three sons, and aside from his eldest son, Song Gui, who bore him two grandsons, the other two sons had only given him granddaughters. Now, his younger grandson, Song Zhong, was most likely on his way to meet the King of Hell, and his elder grandson, Song Bin, had become disabled. Who else in the third generation of the Songs could now support the family?

The more Song Yigang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he inquired, "Was it really the Ye family brat who did this to you? Were the fifteen bodyguards I arranged to protect you completely useless?"

Without any hesitation, Song Bin recounted the event, "Grandpa, Ye Fool is truly powerful. I couldn’t even take one of his moves. The fifteen bodyguards you arranged for me were all taken care of by him in about a minute, and they didn’t even touch a corner of Ye Fool’s clothes."

It was undeniable. Song Bin was truly intimidated by Ye Chenfeng’s skills. His eyes shadowed with awe, he continued, "Grandpa, I think Ye Fool might have always been pretending to be foolish. The strength he possesses couldn’t possibly have been developed in just a year or two."

"Ye Fool? What gives you the right to call someone fool? You couldn’t even handle a fool. You’re truly a useless waste." Song Yigang snorted coldly from his nose and silently thought, "Could it be that the Ye family’s boy has always been hiding his strength? What exactly is the Ye family planning by doing this?"

"Mom, my injuries aren’t serious, right? Once I’m healed, I’ll definitely get back at them." Song Bin felt no sensation in his arms and legs, mistakenly thinking the hospital had used some kind of anesthetic painkiller on him.

"You still think you can stand up? Who told you to set your sights on Wu Xiaofei, the Wus’ daughter? Your arms and legs are completely useless now, and you’ll have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair." Song Yigang’s voice was laden with frustration. Even though the Songs might seek trouble with the Yes over tonight’s incident, they wouldn’t be able to, since the truth was that Song Bin had been targeting Wu Xiaofei, who was betrothed to Ye Chenfeng. It was only right for Ye Chenfeng to teach Song Bin a lesson, though the punishment might be deemed excessive.

"No, no, this can’t be true. I cannot become a cripple. It’s impossible," Song Bin became suddenly agitated upon hearing Song Yigang’s words.

At the bedside, Hu Lu quickly embraced Song Bin, comforting him, "Xiaobin, don’t get worked up. Mom will definitely find a way to cure you, and I won’t let that brute from the Ye family get away with this. I won’t let you become a cripple."

"You all watch this little beast, I’m going back home for a bit," Song Yigang was equally feeling unbearably irate.

Seeing that Song Yigang was about to leave, the father of Song Bin, Song Gui, finally spoke up, "Dad, are we just going to let it go, just like that, with what happened to Bin? What that Ye family kid did was way out of line."

"Out of line? When Ye Chenfeng was beaten into an idiot by a bunch of privileged young masters, it seemed like the Yes didn’t raise a big fuss either, right? Between our major families, there is this unspoken rule that as long as the younger generation’s fights don’t injure anyone’s life, we, as the elders, cannot intervene. Once we do, a conflict between two major families is bound to escalate to a point of mutual destruction. Every decision we make has repercussions for the future direction of the Songs."

"Wait for a while! I think the Yes won’t have many good days left in the Capital City," sighed Song Yigang as he walked out of the VIP ward.

In the study of Song Yigang’s house in the Songs.

Song Yigang sat down in the chair behind his desk, facing a man in black who was standing in front of him, his whole face hidden within a hooded cloak.

"How is Ye Chenfeng still alive? Didn’t you send someone to kill him? And have you found any clue to the whereabouts of my little grandson, Song Zhong?" Song Yigang asked in an unfriendly tone.

The man in black spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Song Yigang, mind your tone. Your Song family is nothing more than a dog to us. As for why Ye Chenfeng isn’t dead, that baffles me too. However, the person who was sent to kill him has been out of contact ever since."

"As for your worthless grandson, Song Zhong, I haven’t found any clues, not even his corpse in the border trade markets," the man in black’s voice was cold, and although his facial expression was hidden, his dissatisfaction was evident in his tone.

Song Yigang’s piercing eyes flickered twice as he tried to soften his tone, "Could the person you sent to kill Ye Chenfeng have been killed by him? Ye Chenfeng is not as simple as we thought; he just incapacitated my eldest grandson, disabling his arms and legs, and easily dealt with fifteen elite ex-special forces members."

The man in black scoffed disdainfully, "Don’t compare those incompetents to my men. Even if Ye Chenfeng has some ability, he couldn’t possibly have killed my men. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. For now, we hold our forces back. It might not be long before our chance comes."

...

In the Capital City, within the study of Elder Bai’s household at the Bais.

The eldest son, Bai Yanxin, stood by Elder Bai Hongfang’s side. Bai Yanxin, the father of the most beautiful woman in the Capital City, Bai Xueling, was gathered with his father in the study late at night, also because they had heard about Ye Chenfeng crippling Song Bin.

"Yanxin, do you think Ye Chenfeng could really incapacitate Song Bin? If he really has that capability, would he still be called ’Ye the Fool’?" Elder Bai mused.

"Dad, it’s probably not baseless rumors. If you want to know whether Ye Chenfeng really did incapacitate Song Bin, I think we’ll find out the whole story tomorrow," Bai Yanxin replied.

"Song Bin’s martial skills are not to be underestimated! He could be considered the best among the young generation in the Capital City. If Ye Chenfeng managed to incapacitate Song Bin, what does that imply?" Elder Bai frowned.

"It implies that Ye Chenfeng has always been concealing his strength, enduring all the mockery from everyone in the Capital City. If it really is so, then Ye Chenfeng is truly terrifying," Bai Yanxin also fell into a brief contemplation.

Upon hearing Bai Yanxin’s words, Elder Bai muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Ye family kid has really been enduring all along? Then, why exactly would the Yes have him do that?"

Elder Bai felt a hint of regret as if he had missed out on an exceptional grandson-in-law and hoped that things weren’t as he anticipated. That the matter of Ye Chenfeng crippling Song Bin was just a rumor. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to support it by casting your recommendation and monthly votes on Qidian.
