The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 245 Warm Dinner
Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Warm Dinner
Wu Guotian and Ye Chenfeng had a meal in a private room of a high-class restaurant in Capital City. Ye Chenfeng was not at all courteous with Wu Guotian—his ravenous eating was like a starving ghost reincarnated. Probably in the entirety of Huaxia Country, only Ye Chenfeng would dare to be so unrestrained in front of Wu Guotian.
After finishing lunch, Wu Guotian didn’t immediately ask Ye Chenfeng to leave but instead started chatting with him intermittently. Zhao Fei had already reported to him everything that happened in the Taiping Mountain Range.
Especially when Wu Guotian heard that abroad they had actually developed a serum that could enhance one’s strength in a short period of time, he started to feel anxious inside. The Soldier King Group had the responsibility to defend Huaxia Country, and if other countries truly developed such a serum, it would be a huge threat to Huaxia.
Of course, Wu Guotian also learned about Ye Chenfeng’s performance from Zhao Fei’s report. It seemed that Huaxia Country would need Ye Chenfeng’s help in many areas in the future.
"Chenfeng, I heard from Zhao Fei that a member of the Bloodkill Mercenary Group injected a serum that could enhance strength in a short period of time? What do you think about this?" Wu Guotian asked cautiously.
Ye Chenfeng, with a toothpick dangling from his mouth, said with disdain, "What can I think? The kind of serum that boosts strength in a short time, the users must pay a price. After the effect of the serum wears off, the users will essentially age rapidly, their combat ability dwindling to almost nothing. Moreover, that serum can only double the user’s strength."
"It’s practically useless for ordinary people to inject it. If a skilled person injects it, isn’t it just a disposable item? It’s not easy to train a highly skilled individual, nobody would be foolish enough to let them inject that serum under normal circumstances, given the massive side effects of the serum. So there’s really nothing to worry about."
Ye Chenfeng spat out the toothpick from his mouth and stretched leisurely as he said, "Alright, I’m full now, and if there’s nothing else, I’m going to head home. Also, don’t forget the promise you made to our Ye family."
"Chenfeng, you’re not wrong, but who knows if foreigners will further improve this serum! If they do, it will definitely be a disaster for Huaxia Country!" Wu Guotian said hurriedly as he saw Ye Chenfeng stand up.
In Ye Chenfeng’s view, it was still too early for the technology of this era to perfect such a serum! Otherwise, Ye Chenfeng would have developed it himself by now.
"Why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet? We’ll deal with it when it does," Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly as he walked out of the restaurant’s private room.
Watching Ye Chenfeng’s retreating figure, Wu Guotian shook his head with a wry smile. How great it would be if someone as powerful as Ye Chenfeng could serve Huaxia Country? However, he knew that was impossible with Ye Chenfeng’s personality.
After having lunch and chatting with Wu Guotian for a while, when Ye Chenfeng returned to the Yes’ residence, it was already five in the afternoon. As soon as he stepped into the living room, he saw Ye Zhenhong, Ye Dongjian, Wu Anguo, Wu Zhifang, Wu Kunming, and Wu Xiaofei all present.
That morning, Ye Zhenhong received a call from Wu Guotian, who had informed him over the phone that Ye Chenfeng would be returning today. Therefore, Ye Zhenhong and Ye Dongjian had been waiting in the living room for Ye Chenfeng all day long.
When Ye Chenfeng entered the Taiping Mountain Range, Ye Zhenhong had also informed Wu Anguo about the matter. Given the current relationship between the Ye and Wu families, they were practically one family, so there was no need for Ye Zhenhong to hide anything from Wu Anguo and the others.
"Chenfeng, come and tell Grandfather about what happened," Ye Zhenhong said with a loving smile on his face as he saw Ye Chenfeng return safely and waved him over.
Wu Anguo also wore a smile, saying, "Chenfeng, you’re really becoming more capable now! You even have people from the Soldier King Group seeking your help? Now that the Soldier King Group owes the Ye family a favor, if anything happens to the Ye family in Capital City, the Soldier King Group will certainly not ignore it."
Wu Anguo looked at his son-in-law Ye Chenfeng with satisfaction and nodded. He felt that the best decision he made in his life was arranging for Wu Xiaofei to be engaged to Ye Chenfeng.
"Chenfeng, I’ve heard that the members of the Bloodkill Mercenary Group aren’t much inferior to those from the Soldier King Group, are they? But with your freakish strength, dealing with them should be a walk in the park, right?" Wu Kunming asked with keen interest.
"Right, Chenfeng, the hostage that was taken by Bloodkill is Bai Xueling. Did you take the opportunity to take advantage of her? Now that you’ve saved Bai Xueling, is she going to offer herself to you in gratitude?" Ye Dongjian said with a laugh.
Ye Chenfeng, annoyed by his uncle who always brought up the most inappropriate topics, said, "Uncle, are you asking for another lesson in loosening your bones? I still haven’t had enough practice in the Taiping Mountain Range!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongjian immediately wiped the smile off his face, knowing he had to play the role of a docile grandson in front of his nephew too often! Frankly, he might just be the most henpecked uncle in the whole world.
Wu Xiaofei’s expression changed upon hearing the name "Bai Xueling"; she bit her red lips lightly, feeling uneasy. After all, Bai Xueling was recognized as the most beautiful woman in Capital City. If Bai Xueling were to actively pursue Ye Chenfeng, would he revisit their past relationship?
Noticing the change in Wu Xiaofei’s expression, Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Uncle, my engagement with Bai Xueling was called off a long time ago, and I wore a mask when I entered the Taiping Mountain Range, so she doesn’t know that it was me who saved her."
Relieved by Ye Chenfeng’s explanation, Wu Xiaofei cursed herself for being too paranoid and gazed affectionately at Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Zhenhong glared at Ye Dongjian and said, "Dongjian, Chenfeng’s affairs are not your concern. You’d better settle your own marital issues soon! If you can’t bring me a daughter-in-law by next year, you might as well not set foot in the Ye family again."
After that, Ye Chenfeng briefly recounted his experience in the Taiping Mountain Range, and only at dinner time did Ye Zhenhong and Wu Anguo give him a break.
Knowing that Ye Chenfeng would return today, Ye Zhenhong had a table full of dishes prepared, all of which were Ye Chenfeng’s favorites.
"Chenfeng, after the New Year, do you plan to stay in Capital City, or will you go back to Tianhai?" Ye Zhenhong asked as he served Ye Chenfeng some dishes.
"Grandfather, I plan to go back to Tianhai." After all, Ye Chenfeng’s influence had just started to grow in Tianhai, and he needed to expand it further. However, one day, both his commercial and underworld influences would spread to Capital City, and then he would be able to stay in Capital City.
"That’s good, you’ll be able to look out for each other with Dongjian in Tianhai," Ye Zhenhong nodded and commented.
"A man’s ambition lies everywhere, Chenfeng, I hope the next time you return to Capital City, you’ll bring us another pleasant surprise," Wu Anguo said.
The dinner was very warm and cozy. Throughout the meal, Ye Zhenhong, Wu Anguo, and Wu Xiaofei kept adding food to Ye Chenfeng’s bowl, while Ye Dongjian, Wu Zhifang, and Wu Kunming were practically invisible to the three elders. It’s tough being compared to others; sometimes it can be downright maddening.
"Xiaofei, where did Xiao Jie go? Why isn’t he here today?" Wu Jie had been practically glued to Ye Chenfeng at the Ye residence these past few days; Ye Chenfeng was almost not used to the peace and quiet without him around.
"Xiao Jie left early in the morning; I have no idea where he’s off gallivanting now. He’s never been one to sit still, but he calmed down quite a bit while following you. Now that he can’t find you, he’s disappeared to who knows where again," Wu Xiaofei said.
"..." Wu Xiaofei’s phone suddenly rang, and after hearing the voice on the other end, her emotions surged: "What did you say? Xiao Jie got beaten up? Where are you? I’m coming right now."
