The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 343 Identity

In July, the temperature in Tianhai soared increasingly higher, walking on the streets felt like being trapped in a giant furnace; within a short time, one’s clothes would be utterly soaked with sweat, and people hurried along the roads, reluctant to stay outdoors for a moment longer, this oppressive heat truly unbearable, especially for the white-collar workers living in the metropolis.

All matters in Tianhai had come to an end, and Ye Chenfeng was preparing to return to Capital City. This time, Ye Chenfeng’s return to Capital City would probably make the city anything but peaceful. Those elite families who once thought Ye Chenfeng was an idiot would definitely be in for a shock, and he would ultimately show them who was the real fool.

Originally, Wu Jie wanted to study at Tianhai University because his brother-in-law, Ye Chenfeng, was in Tianhai. Now that he knew Ye Chenfeng was returning to Capital City, of course, Wu Jie eagerly followed him back. After all, with the Wus’ capabilities, Wu Jie could get into a university in any city he wished to.

When Ye Chenfeng was leaving for Capital City, he did not let Zhao Wanting and the other two women see him off at the airport. He really disliked such sorrowful farewells; it wasn’t like they would never see each other again.

In the first-class cabin of the plane, Brother Hu, Tie Niu, Han Wei, Fang Hui, Ren Hong, and Yuan An were all very excited. The four among them, originally trained in the Leap Troop, were actually from Capital City, and they had known each other before joining the Leap Troop. Their families had been friends for generations, having grown up together, so their relationship was very good.

Han Wei and the other three did not know the true identity of Ye Chenfeng. The most straightforward of them, Han Wei, turned to Ye Chenfeng sitting in front and said, "Boss, once we’re in Capital City, that’s our turf. If you need anything, just order us around."

Sitting next to Ye Chenfeng, Wu Jie felt displeased when he heard Han Wei, and immediately retorted, "From your words, are you more impressive than my brother-in-law once we’re in Capital City? Do you even know who my brother-in-law is? My brother-in-law is also from Capital City."

Han Wei and the others looked at each other, repeating Ye Chenfeng’s name silently in their minds. Yuan An, the wisest among them, was the first to show a look of disbelief and cautiously asked, "Boss, you... you’re the Ye Chenfeng of the Yes?"

"Yuan An, don’t talk nonsense; Ye Chenfeng of the Yes is recognized by everyone in Capital City as an idiot, how could our boss be Ye Chenfeng of the Yes?" Han Wei blurted out.

"Who are you calling an idiot? My brother-in-law is doing very well! And he’s the number one master in the world," Wu Jie got quite annoyed by Han Wei’s words, as Ye Chenfeng, his brother-in-law, was the person he admired most in his heart.

"It’s okay, Jie," Ye Chenfeng patted Wu Jie’s shoulder and said, "What Jie said is correct, I am indeed Ye Chenfeng of the Yes, the fool recognized by everyone in Capital City, as you put it."

Boom!

Han Wei, Fang Hui, Ren Hong’s minds went blank in an instant, while Yuan An, who had guessed Ye Chenfeng’s identity in advance, coped a bit better.

After being stunned for a moment, Han Wei finally spoke up, "Boss, are you really Ye Chenfeng of the Yes? How is that possible?"

"Yeah! Boss, if you really are Ye Chenfeng of the Yes, then aren’t all the people in Capital City blind? If someone like you is an idiot, then I think no one in the world is normal," Fang Hui took a deep breath and said.

"Boss, you’re not joking with us, are you? This joke isn’t funny at all," Ren Hong said with a pained expression.

"When would I have the time to joke with you all? Now that you know I’m the ’idiot’ recognized by Capital City, are you four disappointed?" Ye Chenfeng asked, none too pleased.

As Han Wei and the others had grown up in the military region, they had not seen Ye Chenfeng’s true face during their long time in Capital City. They had only heard numerous ridiculous stories about Ye Chen, the Fool.

"Not disappointed, not at all. If you are from the Yes in Capital City, then you know your way around there much better than we do," Han Wei shook his head repeatedly, accepting the reality of Ye Chenfeng’s identity.

"Boss, we don’t care about who you used to be! We admire your skills, and that’s why we follow you," the wise Yuan An also quickly chimed in.

Brother Hu and Tie Niu had not known about Ye Chenfeng’s true identity either, and Brother Hu couldn’t contain his curiosity as he asked, "Boss, is your family in Capital City really that influential?"

Wu Jie looked at Brother Hu with disdain and said, "Have you ever heard of the Yes in Capital City? My brother-in-law’s grandfather is a top figure at the apex of the Capital’s pyramid, someone who could make Capital City tremble with just a stamp of his foot. Now tell me, aren’t the Yes powerful?"

To make Capital City tremble with just a stamp of his foot? What did that represent? Considering that Capital City was the capital of Huaxia Country, Ye Chenfeng’s grandfather had to be at least one of the leading figures of Huaxia Country. Suddenly, the name Ye Zhenhong popped into Brother Hu’s head—sharing the same last name as Ye Chenfeng, he was a prominent figure in Huaxia Country who frequently appeared on the news.

"Boss, could your grandfather possibly be Ye Zhenhong?" Brother Hu asked with a slightly dry mouth.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t answer but simply nodded. Witnessing this scene, Brother Hu was completely shocked. He had always believed he could never have any interaction with the top figures of Huaxia’s power pyramid. But now his boss turned out to be the grandson of such a figure. What did that mean? Brother Hu was so damn excited that he wanted to immediately burst into singing "A Roar of Laughter from the Vast Sea."

Tie Niu, on the other hand, was much calmer. It was just his nature to simply know he had to follow his benefactor, Ye Chenfeng.

...

When the plane landed at Capital City Airport, it was already after five in the afternoon. Ye Chenfeng’s return to Capital City was not announced to Grandpa Ye and the others; Wu Jie also didn’t inform the Wus of Ye Chenfeng’s impending arrival.

"Brother-in-law, I’ll go home first to tell my grandpa and the others about your return." After leaving the airport, Wu Jie hurriedly hailed a taxi to return to the Wus.

Ye Chenfeng watched Han Wei and the others, saying, "Han Wei, help Little Hu and Tie Niu find a place to stay. I’ll discuss Victory Sky Society’s development plans in Capital City with you in a few days. Gather up the distribution details of Capital City’s underground forces for me in the meantime."

After giving orders to Han Wei and the rest, Ye Chenfeng also hailed a taxi to the Yes. An hour later, Ye Chenfeng arrived smoothly at the Ye family villa’s gate.

The armed police standing at the gate of the villa had seen Ye Chen, the young master of the Yes. Just as they were about to go in and notify Ye Zhenhong, they were stopped by Ye Chen, who said, "Let me go in by myself! I want to give Grandpa a surprise."

Ye Chen walked towards the living room of the Ye family villa. The living room was silent, with Grandpa Ye sitting alone at the dining table having dinner, his face more wrinkled than ever.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen felt a kind of indescribable bitterness swell inside him. Nowadays, the Ye family’s direct lineage was thinning, and there was no one to even accompany Grandpa to dinner. This made Ye Chen hurry his steps and sit down beside Grandpa Ye with a carefree tone, "Grandpa, I haven’t had dinner myself! Did you know I was coming back tonight, so you were waiting for me here to eat?"

Upon hearing the voice, Grandpa Ye couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked at Ye Chen sitting beside him. Then, a kind smile spread across his face, "Chenfeng? What brought you back today? Couldn’t you have called me in advance if you were coming?"

"Where’s Uncle? Didn’t he return to the Capital Military Region? Why isn’t he eating dinner with you?" Ye Chen asked with curiosity.

"Don’t get me started on your uncle. He’s messing around in the military region all day. If they don’t promote him a rank higher this year, I don’t think he should bother coming back to the Yes," Grandpa Ye sighed and said.

Ye Chen saw the loneliness in the old man’s heart and casually said, "Grandpa, I’m planning on settling down in Capital City this time. I can join you for dinner every day from now on."

In that instant, the smile on Grandpa Ye’s face grew even warmer. He placed a piece of meat into Ye Chen’s bowl and said, "Chenfeng, are you really planning to develop your career in Capital City?"

"Yeah," Ye Chen nodded as he replied.

"That’s good. At least here in Capital City old me can look after you. To be honest, I’ve always been a bit worried about you in Tianhai." A sincere look of concern and affection appeared on Grandpa Ye’s wrinkled face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com).
