The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 318: Chenfeng, do me a favor!

Ye Chen took over the Ye family businesses and left everything to Li Pangzi and Monkey.

Now that Victory Sky Society had unified the underworld forces in Tianhai, and with Tengtian Pharmaceutical Factory thriving, plus the acquisition of the Ye family’s enterprises, Ye Chen could be considered Tianhai’s wealthiest man. It seemed that his first steps in both the business world and the underworld in Tianhai had been tremendously successful.

The battle for dominance in Tianhai had come to a close. Next, Victory Sky Society planned to expand its influence beyond the city. In the meantime, Ye Chen managed to occasionally enjoy some leisure time and shared some fun with Tang Xin and Zhao Wanting at the villa. Life had once again become peaceful. The only predicament for Ye Chen now was how to further enhance his Soul Force?

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, he received a call from his uncle, Ye Dongjian, "Chenfeng, are you free to come to the Strong Soldier Training Camp today? In a couple of days, the old man is planning to transfer me back to the Capital City. Once I get to the Capital Military Region, I definitely plan to make a name for myself. You have to come and have a few drinks with me today, or don’t ever call me ’uncle’ again." Without waiting for Ye Chen’s reply, Ye Dongjian hung up.

Ye Chen’s soul had originally transplanted into this world and it was under the arrangement of Elder Ye that he joined the Leap Troop’s training at Strong Soldier Training Camp. Back then, Ye Chen didn’t even have a steady Second-Level Soul Force! And now, his Soul Force had reached the Eighth Level, the peak of his previous life. The memories of his soul’s journey to this world started to play in his mind like a slideshow.

When Ye Chen arrived at the Strong Soldier Training Camp as agreed, Ye Dongjian—dressed in military garb, looking extremely robust, and with a cigarette dangling improperly from his mouth—was already waiting for him at the entrance.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Ye Dongjian threw his cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, then said in a loud voice, "Chenfeng, glad to see you know your place. If you had dared to stood me up today, I would have..."

Ye Chen cut him off with a laugh, "Uncle, what would you have done? Surely, you weren’t going to beat me up? How about we spar a bit right now? Let’s see if your skills have improved in these past days?"

Ye Dongjian realized that ever since Ye Chen’s phobia was cured, he, as an uncle, had lost all authority over his nephew, yet he was helpless against him—who could blame him when he really couldn’t win against his nephew! He had to swallow his frustration, and said casually, "Chenfeng, quit teasing your uncle. Do you think I’m a fool? Even the Soldier King Group was swept away by you, and you expect me to spar with you? That would be pure masochism!"

"I didn’t come here to argue with you today, let’s go. Let’s go have a good drink together, and who knows, by the next time we meet, it might be when you come back to the Capital City," said Ye Dongjian, slinging an arm over Ye Chen’s shoulder as he strode into the training camp.

In a private room of the training camp’s cafeteria, Ye Dongjian had the staff prepare the drinks and food in advance. He poured a full glass of Baijiu for Ye Chen and said, "Chenfeng, technically, I shouldn’t be drinking in the military camp, but today, your uncle is going all in. I’ll be transferred back to the Capital City in a few days anyway, to hell with it!"

"Chenfeng, what are you waiting for? Let’s drink to this," Ye Dongjian said briskly, lifting his glass and downing it in one gulp. He sighed in his throat, "Ah, that’s the stuff. I thought I’d be stuck in Tianhai for life. Like you, I was once a profligate son, which is why the old man dumped me here in the first place. I never imagined I’d end up spending so many years in Tianhai without losing face for the Yes. But now, Chenfeng, the Yes can only rely on the two of us. I’m determined to achieve something great once I’m back in the Capital City."

Ye Chen could sense the tinge of melancholy in Ye Dongjian’s words; no doubt it was about the loss of Ye Chen’s parents. He also took his shot of Baijiu in one go and commented, "Uncle, I can’t quite agree with you there. What do you mean you were like me, a profligate son in the past? Were you as awesome as me in your youth? Could you take on the entire Soldier King Group by yourself? If that’s true, it seems like you’re getting younger as you age!"

Although Ye Dongjian was a rough man, he could tell that Ye Chen was lifting the mood. He replied offhandedly, "Of course, back in my day, I was a well-known wild child in the Capital City. Who dared to mess with your uncle back then? Don’t forget, when you were bullied as a kid, it was your uncle who often stood up for you!"

"Uncle, don’t forget what Grandpa said— if you don’t bring a girlfriend home to the Yes for the New Year this year, then you don’t need to step foot in the house again. Have you found my future aunt yet?" Ye Chen teased as he picked up a piece of braised pork and popped it into his mouth.

"Chenfeng, don’t stir the pot just because you can, and don’t think that just because you’re messing around in Tianhai, Xiaofei won’t know about it in Capital City. You’d better watch out yourself; otherwise, if Xiaofei catches you in the act, I’d like to see you still act all high and mighty in front of me, your uncle." Ye Dongjian retorted with visible annoyance.

"Uncle, there’s no need to worry about me. In the future, I’m bound to live a life embraced by beauties, something you definitely can’t learn." Ye Chenfeng said with a slight smile, though he felt quite the headache internally. Given Wu Xiaofei’s character, if she knew that Ye Chenfeng was involved with other women, who knows if she might erupt?

Ye Chenfeng and Ye Dongjian casually chatted with each other when the door to the canteen’s private room opened. Lin Zhonghu, an instructor from the Leap Troop, walked in. Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng, he immediately began to grumble, "Ye Dongjian, you’re really not cool. Chenfeng came to the Strong Soldier Training Camp today, and you didn’t tell me? After all, Chenfeng had stayed for a while in my Leap Troop."

Lin Zhonghu sat down, uninvited, poured himself a glass of white liquor, and unabashedly grabbed a chicken leg to gnaw on.

"Look, Lin Zhonghu, can your face be any thicker? Today, I wanted to have a good chat with my nephew!" Ye Dongjian said irritably.

"Dongjian, those words really hurt, man. After all these years of friendship, and now you’re getting transferred back to Capital Military Region, who knows when we’ll see each other again! I say, wasn’t it great for you here at Strong Soldier Camp? Why go meddle in the Capital Military Region for no reason?" Lin Zhonghu expressed his reluctance in a rather unique way befitting a soldier.

"You don’t know jack. Do you think I want to meddle in the Capital Military Region? But for the sake of the Yes, I must do it." Having said that, Ye Dongjian took another swig of liquor.

After an unknown number of cups, Ye Dongjian finally slumped over the table and fell into a drunken sleep.

"Chenfeng, looks like your uncle is under a lot of pressure!" Lin Zhonghu remarked.

Ye Chenfeng nodded and asked, "By the way, Instructor Lin, Lu Tian, Zhou Ping, and Gu Le, who used to bunk with me at the Leap Troop, which military region are they muddling through their days in now?"

"I’m not sure about that. Anyway, every batch that officially graduates from the Leap Troop is bound to have a bright future."

Lin Zhonghu sighed and then said, "Speaking of which, this batch at the Leap Troop is much more troublesome. Each of them is way too conceited. Even after I discipline them, they don’t relent; the issues are endless."

Recalling the abilities Ye Chenfeng once had, Lin Zhonghu’s eyes suddenly brightened. "Chenfeng, how about you do me a favor? You’re technically their senior, after all. Why not step in and teach these arrogant brats a lesson for me, to let them know there’s always someone better out there?"

Ye Chenfeng actually felt quite nostalgic about his days in the Leap Troop, so he agreed to Lin Zhonghu’s request: "Alright, Instructor Lin, since I’ve got nothing else to do, I’ll join in for some fun. But before that, let’s take my uncle back to his room. It’s not so proper for him to sleep here."

Since Ye Chenfeng readily agreed to help Lin Zhonghu, the duty of carrying Ye Dongjian back to his room obviously fell upon Lin Zhonghu. (To be continued.
