Chapter 35 - 35 035 The Origins of Ye Chenfeng

35: Chapter 035: The Origins of Ye Chenfeng 35: Chapter 035: The Origins of Ye Chenfeng He hadn’t expected Chu Qingxue to be the one to step forward. “Does Mr. Feng Liang need me to report to the police station to pursue criminal responsibility?” Chu Qingxue asked expressionlessly. “Ah? No, please no! President Chu, I was wrong; I’ll leave right now!” Feng Liang almost wet himself from fear. Turned out all those little schemes he had cooked up were crystal clear to Chu Qingxue, and this time, even having connections wouldn’t work. If Chu Qingxue pursued the matter, he was definitely facing jail time! … “Ye Chenfeng, who exactly are you? You must have some powerful backing!” Qiu Muran stared at Ye Chenfeng intensely, trying to read something from his eyes. Ye Chenfeng shrugged. “Like I’ve said, that girl Chu Qingxue has a crush on me! She wants to marry me every moment of the day!” “Ridiculous!” Qiu Muran glared at him, then said, “Ye Chenfeng, you won’t pull out your powerful connections to play dirty tricks when the time comes, will you?” Ye Chenfeng shook his head. “Would I do such a thing? If I did, I wouldn’t be able to get it up with a woman ever again. Is that good enough for you?” “Hmph! Rascal!” … That day, Ye Chenfeng was still sleeping like a log, utterly lacking in resolve to secure the Daxing Pharmaceutical contract. As soon as the workday ended, Shen Yuqin blocked him to prevent him from bailing on her. “Come on, Brother Ye. Today I’m going to cook you something delicious myself!” Shen Yuqin chirped happily, like a sprite. Subsequently, Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin left shoulder to shoulder. In the distance, a pair of eyes glared at the backs of Ye Chenfeng and Shen Yuqin. “Damn Chenfeng, damned Ye Chenfeng! Am I really not as good as her?” Chu Qingxue cursed under her breath, furiously driving away. Daxing Pharmaceutical Factory District. Coming to this place that was familiar yet strange, Ye Chenfeng was filled with countless thoughts. Images flooded his mind, a beautiful woman with a tender yet timid child in a cramped less than thirty-square-meter flat, grinding tofu, the woman’s hands covered in open sores, even oozing blood. “Mom, your hands are cracked again!” The woman affectionately stroked the boy’s head. “It’s okay, Chenfeng. As long as you study hard, Mom will make you sour fish tonight!” “Mom, this is for you! I saved up to buy it!” the little boy took out a pair of gloves to give to the woman. “Chenfeng!” the woman hugged the boy tightly, crying inconsolably. … “Mom, your son has returned!” Tears glistened in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes. The Ye Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Capital City, wielded influence that spanned the treacherous realms of politics, business, and the military, rooted in a profound legacy. More fearsome was the dominant bloodline of the Ye family. Every descendant was a rare prospect for becoming a Martial Artist, especially Ye Chenfeng’s father, Ye Chenfu, who was hailed as a genius among geniuses. But for some unknown reason, when Ye Chenfeng was fourteen, he and his mother were expelled from the Ye Family. Two years after living in Jiangnan, his mother, Yao Lan, passed away, and shortly after, Ye Chenfeng disappeared. “Boom, boom, boom…” Loud construction noises filled the air, with large areas of the Pharmaceutical Factory District already being demolished and rebuilt. It seemed as though Daxing Pharmaceutical Factory had been on a decline for years, nearly on the brink of closure. In the past, the factory had sustained many lives; people from this district relied on the factory to survive. “Yuqin, wait here for a moment. I’m going to buy some gifts!” After picking up a few gift boxes from a roadside stall, Ye Chenfeng continued straight ahead. All along the way, there were ruins where ancient trees once stood; everything had changed, with the past no longer recognizable. It appeared that due to the factory’s economic downturn, the entire area had been affected. “Yuqin, you’ve become even prettier in just a few days. Look at Brother Jian, hasn’t he become more handsome too? He’d be a perfect match for you!” “Hao Jian, get out of my way; I’m busy!” “No way, come have a meal with Brother Jian! Then, Brother Jian will take you out to have fun tonight, how about that?” “Haha… Sister-in-law, why don’t you go have dinner with Brother Jian? Sister Yuqin going out with Brother Jian would definitely be cool!” Ye Chenfeng glanced over and saw, not far away, four youths dressed in hip-hop fashion, with long and strange hairstyles, surrounding Shen Yuqin and teasing her from time to time. “Brother Ye!” As soon as she saw Ye Chenfeng, Shen Yuqin seemed to see hope, her face lighting up with joy, and she quickly ran to his side. “Sister Yuqin, let’s go!” Ye Chenfeng grabbed Shen Yuqin’s hand and was about to leave. “Hey, you stop right there!” Suddenly, Hao Jian called out to Ye Chenfeng’s retreating figure. “I’m talking to you, the one carrying stuff, stop!” Seeing that Ye Chenfeng ignored him, Hao Jian couldn’t help but raise his voice. Ah, I prefer to keep a low profile, yet there always seems to be someone challenging me, such people are just despicable, begging for a beating! Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a bitter smile, turned around, and asked, “Are you talking to me?” Hao Jian pointed at Ye Chenfeng: “Yes, it’s you!” “What do you want?” Ye Chenfeng asked indifferently. “Yo-heh!” Hao Jian and his group circled up and blocked Ye Chenfeng’s path. Hao Jian was very tall and skinny, but he looked tough, with dark skin. He wore a black vest with a skull on it, a big chain around his neck, and his hair was buzz-cut but dyed orange-yellow, giving off a bit of a street gangster vibe, enough to scare ordinary folks for sure. “Kid, first time here, huh? I, your lord, have been mixing around in the Pharmaceutical Factory District for over twenty years and have never seen you before!” Hao Jian’s gaze swept over Ye Chenfeng aggressively. “Yes… yes!” Ye Chenfeng’s hands shook, and he spoke in a quiet voice. Hao Jian was very pleased with Ye Chenfeng’s timidity and laughed, “It’s your first time here, so you probably don’t know about Brother Jian’s rule. Mazzi, explain it to him!” “What are you trying to do, Hao Jian? Brother Ye is my friend!” Shen Yuqin was getting anxious. A sharp look flashed through Hao Jian’s eyes: “Friend? Don’t tell me he’s your boyfriend? Shen Yuqin, I didn’t expect this! The great campus belle actually keeps a man!” “No!” Shen Yuqin’s cheeks flushed with a faint redness. Immediately, a youth with a face full of pockmarks stepped forward. “Listen up, kid, Brother Jian has a rule. Newcomers here must pay respect to Brother Jian, and it has to be at least this much!” Mazzi extended one finger. “One yuan?” Ye Chenfeng’s lips quivered as he timidly asked. Hao Jian immediately got angry: “Fuck your mother, are you trying to play dumb with me?” “So, how much is it then? Ten yuan?” A crafty glint flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes. “What the fuck, are you pretending to be stupid?” Hao Jian was about to lose his mind. Seeing this scene, Shen Yuqin’s lips curled up in a smile, the first time she saw Hao Jian on the downside. “Could it be one hundred?” Ye Chenfeng continued to feign ignorance. “To hell with this, it’s one thousand!” Hao Jian was on the brink of madness, he had never met someone so absurdly acting the fool. Ye Chenfeng raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, saying indifferently, “Alright then, bring it over, one thousand it is. It’s a bit on the low side, but I won’t mind!” “What!” As these words were spoken, everyone else at the scene froze, looking at Ye Chenfeng with incredulous eyes. “Cough cough cough, no, what the heck did he just say? Mazzi!” Hao Jian choked on his own words and kept coughing! Mazzi was just as bewildered: “Boss Dragon, he seems to be saying that you should pay him a thousand in return!” Hao Jian and his group were all dumbfounded, wasn’t it they who were supposed to be robbing others? Why did it suddenly turn around and now they were supposed to pay respect to someone else? Ye Chenfeng nodded: “That’s right, finally someone who can understand human speech!” Although Shen Yuqin really wanted to laugh, she was also worried about Ye Chenfeng, wasn’t this deliberately provoking Hao Jian? “Alright, alright, alright, kid, you’ve got guts! If I don’t beat the crap out of you today, consider yourself clean!” A cold light flashed in Hao Jian’s eyes, his face contorted with fierceness. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
