The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 160: What’s the situation with the shrimp?
Chapter 160: Chapter 160: What’s the situation with the shrimp?
Exiting the police station, night had already fallen. Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath of the fresh air and truly hadn’t expected to waste most of the day on the Lis. Twisting his somewhat sore neck, his bones cracking occasionally with friction.
At this moment in the chief’s office, it was so quiet you could only hear Du Jin and Zhu Maode swallowing their saliva. Du Jin, in particular, had cold sweat pouring out; he finally understood what Ye Chenfeng meant by "If I see you acting without distinction again, it won’t be as simple as losing your squadron leader position."
After Ye Chenfeng dropped Li Shouchun and Li Shouxia on the ground, he didn’t stop there but walked up to Hua Mei and Qian Lan and said, "You two have quite the foul mouths." Subsequently, he knocked out several of Hua Mei and Qian Lan’s teeth.
"Chief Zhu, I’ll take you out to eat again in a few days! Today, I really don’t feel like it." After dropping this line, Ye Chenfeng walked straight out of the chief’s office without greeting anyone.
In contrast, Brother Hu, Tie Niu, Monkey, and Li Pangzi quickly followed Ye Chenfeng out. Before leaving, Li Pangzi gave his parents Li Shouqiu and Fang Qin a reassuring look, now more than ever feeling the correctness of his actions.
Ye Chenfeng was someone even the chief had to treat with respect. Originally, he held no status within the Lis, but his prospects seemed much brighter following Ye Chenfeng.
Shortly after the office fell silent, it filled with the cries of pain from Li Shouchun, Li Shouxia, Hua Mei, and Qian Lan, who had been momentarily intimidated by Ye Chenfeng’s actions, forgetting the pain they were in. frёeωebɳovel.com
The overwhelming shouting brought Li Tangming back to his senses, and he yelled without hesitation at Zhu Maode, "Chief Zhu, how do you run this place? Can you really condone someone committing violence in your office?"
Initially, Zhu Maode didn’t really know how to wrap things up, but upon hearing Li Tangming’s almost accusatory words, he felt anger rising within him and feigned confusion with a laugh, "Did someone commit violence in my office just now? I didn’t see anything. Maybe you, old Mr. Li, are getting old and blurry-eyed."
Standing by, drenched in sweat, Du Jin saw an opportunity and interjected, "Li Tangming, don’t cause trouble here. I clearly saw it was your son and daughter-in-law who accidentally hurt themselves. What talk of violence is there?"
If Ye Chenfeng had heard Du Jin’s words, he would have patted his shoulder with profound approval, saying "You have potential."
Li Tangming was so angry he nearly spat blood, "Du Jin, Zhu Maode, the Lis will remember what happened today. I hope both of you won’t regret this." Fuming, he left along with the Lis. Li Tangming planned to use all his resources to find connections in Tianhai and give Zhu Maode and Du Jin a hard time, possibly even getting them fired; of course, punishing Ye Chenfeng and the others went without saying, ideally having them all end up behind bars.
Looking at the bloodstains and broken teeth on the floor, Zhu Maode instructed Du Jin, "Clean this up, and don’t mention today’s incident to anyone."
"Yes, Chief." Du Jin was about to grab a mop and broom to start cleaning when Zhu Maode stopped him, causing him to startle, thinking the chief might punish him over Ye Chenfeng’s affair.
But Du Jin was overthinking it. Zhu Maode managed a strained smile and said, "Since Brother Ye has forgiven you, I won’t hold you responsible either. Just remember, whenever you encounter Brother Ye, no matter what happens, you must take his side. Consider this a bit of advice from me to you!"
After Du Jin left the chief’s office, he pondered Zhu Maode’s words over and over, and after a moment, his body shuddered, thinking to himself, "Could it be that this Brother Ye the chief mentioned is an important figure? No matter, from now on, I just need to stand firm by my position and keep away from the Lis."
As night enveloped the city, under the street lamps, Ye Chenfeng walked ahead, with Monkey, Li Pangzi, and the other four trailing behind. Passersby occasionally cast glances at them, especially at the imposing figures of Tie Niu and Brother Hu, who made people involuntarily categorize them as bad guys, while our comrade Ye Chenfeng seemed to be mistaken for a good guy targeted by bad elements.
"What’s with you four? Why are you following us?" Ye Chenfeng asked over his shoulder, annoyed.
Monkey was the first to scurry up, saying, "Boss, we didn’t want to disturb you because we saw you were in a bad mood!"
Ye Chenfeng was used to kicking Monkey’s butt, so he gave him another kick and said, "Monkey, do you really think someone like me would be upset over such a trivial matter?"
Then, he gestured to Li Pangzi and asked, "Li Pangzi, what are your plans for the future? Are you planning to roll with me, or are you thinking of going solo?"
Li Pangzi replied without hesitation, "Boss, I’m homeless now. If I don’t follow you, I’ll have to sleep on the streets and drink the northwest wind, and my delicate body can’t handle going hungry!"
Monkey promptly pinched the fat on Li Pangzi’s cheek and said, "Li Pangzi, quit playing the sympathy card in front of the boss. With all that fat on you, I doubt you’d starve even if you went without food for three to seven days!"
"Monkey, that’s not cool, embarrassing me like this. I, Li Pangzi, am truly homeless now. Don’t you have any sympathy?" Li Pangzi’s gaze turned back to Ye Chenfeng, waiting for his response.
"Alright, then you’ll follow me from now on! We’ve made a good sum of money these days anyway. You and Monkey are familiar with Tianhai, so go and see if there are any pharmaceutical factories up for sale tomorrow," Ye Chenfeng said.
"You got it, Boss," Monkey and Li Pangzi exclaimed in unison.
Brother Hu wasn’t sure how to ask what he and Tie Niu were supposed to do when Ye Chenfeng spoke up again, "Little Hu, Tie Niu, as for you two, I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow, and once we’re there, you’ll know what to do."
Ye Chenfeng was planning to take Brother Hu and Tie Niu to the Victory Sky Society’s training ground on the outskirts. He hadn’t been in Tianhai for some time and was curious about how Fang Nanxiang had whipped the disorganized Dragon Tooth Association into shape.
"We’ll follow Mr. Ye’s arrangements," Brother Hu and Tie Niu said promptly.
"You two don’t have to call me Mr. Ye or benefactor or anything like that! If you’re willing, just call me ’Boss’ like they do," Ye Chenfeng expressed his preference for the nickname ’Boss’ compared to the other formal titles.
Ye Chenfeng asked Monkey and Li Pangzi to arrange temporary housing for Brother Hu and Tie Niu, while he went back to the villa first. Having just rushed back from the border and dealt with the Lis’ mess all day, Ye Chenfeng wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
Upon returning to the villa, Ye Chenfeng noticed all the lights were out and couldn’t help but wonder, "In which room is Han Chuxue staying? She must have met Tang Xin by now. Tang Xin should have arranged a guest room for her."
After soaking in a big tub of hot water for a comfortable half hour, Ye Chenfeng put on his dressing gown and headed to his room. He opened the door, yawned lazily, flicked the blanket open, and lay down. However, as soon as Ye Chenfeng laid down, he realized someone else seemed to be sleeping beside him. He looked closely and was shocked to see Han Chuxue lying next to him?
Their eyes met, and the room was filled with an awkward atmosphere. Ye Chenfeng had never imagined finding Han Chuxue in his room. He was at a loss for words for a moment.
With her eyes wide with shock, Han Chuxue’s white cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, while Ye Chenfeng was somewhat dumbfounded, shouting in his mind, "What the heck is going on here?"
