Chapter 41 - The Ye Kid is Not Simple

Capital City, the villa of the Wus, in the study of the old master Wu Anguo, his piercing eyes carried a hint of confusion as he had been staring at the screen in front of him for an entire afternoon.Standing beside the old master was a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to Wu Kunming, he was Wu Kunming’s older brother, Wu Zhifang, the old master’s eldest son and Wu Xiaofei’s father.

Wu Zhifang’s attention was also completely focused on the footage on the screen, which astonishingly showed Ye Chenfeng demonstrating his unfailingly accurate marksmanship, remarkable throwing ability, and the formidable combat skills that allowed him to defeat members of the Soldier King Group.

At the training ground of the Strong Soldier Training Camp, cameras were installed, so Wu Kunming went to the surveillance room, edited this footage, and sent it over the internet to the old master in Capital City.

When the old master and Wu Zhifang first saw this footage, they both thought they were dreaming, even rubbing their eyes two or three times.

Because of the relationship between the Wus and the Yes, what kind of person was Ye Chenfeng?

The old master understood very well, even before the panic disorder, Ye Chenfeng was nothing more than a profligate young master, let alone after developing the panic disorder, right?

But how to explain this footage sent by his younger son?

Not only is Ye Chenfeng’s marksmanship freakishly precise, but his strength and agility are also at a freakish level.

How could this be the same profligate young master?

A low-functioning individual with panic disorder?

The old master did not go out all afternoon, repeatedly watching this footage no less than ten times, and ordered people to investigate Ye Chenfeng’s movements over the recent years.

The information was quickly gathered by the old master’s trusted aides, and a thick stack of documents on the desk was the record of Ye Chenfeng’s actions in recent years.

This information contained nothing useful for the old master, everything listed was just as the rumors suggested.

The large screen in front of them continued to play the footage of Ye Chenfeng’s one-on-one fight with Wang Li.

The old master slowly came back to his senses from the shock, looked at his eldest son Wu Zhifang beside him, and asked, “Zhifang, what is your take on this situation?”

Wu Zhifang’s brow furrowed slightly, just as he was about to speak, the door to the study was pushed open, and Wu Xiaofei swaggered in, saying, “Grandpa, Dad, you’ve been in the study all afternoon, I thought you two might have fainted in here!

It’s already time for dinner.”

“Xiaofei, do you no longer have any manners?

Can’t you knock before entering?

How old are you now?

Always crashing around, who will dare to marry you in the future?” Wu Zhifang immediately reprimanded loudly.

Deeply favored by the old master at home, Wu Xiaofei, although she acted tough outside, was a well-behaved girl in front of her grandfather.

She instantly pouted and said, “Good intentions are treated as donkey’s liver and lungs, I might as well let you starve to death.”

“Alright, Zhifang, since Xiaofei has already come in, I happen to have something I want to ask her,” said the old master with a kindly smile.

As the second in command of the military region of Huaxia Country, ordinary people could only dream of seeing the old master’s smile, which he reserved only for his granddaughter, like an ordinary grandfather.

“Dad, you can’t keep spoiling Xiaofei like this, otherwise she will…”

Before Wu Zhifang could finish his sentence, the old master waved his hand, indicating that he should stop talking, and looked at Wu Xiaofei, asking, “Xiaofei, you’re usually quite close with the Ye lad, aren’t you?

What do you think of him?”

At the mention of the word “close,” Wu Xiaofei’s cheeks involuntarily reddened slightly, and images of Ye Chen kissing her on the street couldn’t help but emerge in her mind, leaving her feeling both embarrassed and somewhat nostalgic.

“Wu Xiaofei, what are you thinking about?

Don’t tell me you’ve reached the age of springtime fantasies too?

Remember, you should only think of Ye Chenfeng as a younger brother.” Wu Xiaofei chastised herself internally.

Seeing his granddaughter’s cheeks flushed, her thoughts seemingly drifting off to who knows where, Old Master Wu could sense that there was something not so simple between his granddaughter and Ye Chenfeng.

After all, Old Master Wu was someone who had been through it all before.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Wu Xiaofei remembered she was in her grandfather’s study.

She quickly pulled her thoughts back to reality and her eyes inadvertently caught sight of the scene playing on the screen in the study.

She couldn’t tear her attention away.

The screen still showed the scene where Ye Chenfeng and Wang Li were sparring, each movement full of masculine allure, enough to make any woman swoon!

Was this still Ye Chenfeng?

Was this still the brother in her eyes?

She was only aware that Ye Chenfeng’s phobias had been cured.

She would never have imagined that not only had his phobias been cured, but his martial skills had become so incredibly powerful.

Wu Xiaofei picked up the remote control from the desk and rewound the footage to the beginning. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

She watched it from start to finish, and the shock in her heart was beyond words.

She found herself deeply attracted to the charm that Ye Chenfeng exhibited.

“Xiaofei, have you watched enough?” Old Master Wu asked with a meaningful tone.

“Ah!” Wu Xiaofei exclaimed, her face turning as red as an apple.

Without another word, she fled the study, knowing that if she stayed, her grandfather would surely question her about her uncharacteristic behavior.

“What kind of behavior is this, so careless?” Wu Zhifang reprimanded sternly.

“Let it be, Xiaofei has always been like this.

Let’s just indulge her,” Old Master Wu waved his hand and said.

“It seems like Xiaofei is quite interested in the Ye family’s boy!

It wouldn’t be bad to have Ye Chenfeng as my grandson-in-law.

What do you think, Zhifang?” Old Master Wu inquired.

“Dad, I think Chenfeng is qualified to be my son-in-law.

His marksmanship and martial skills definitely couldn’t have been honed overnight.

This means there’s only one possibility; he has always been enduring in silence, or perhaps he’s been observing others in a way that feigns foolishness, simply waiting for the right moment to soar to great heights.

Clearly, he now has that kind of strength.”

“However, there’s already a marriage arrangement between the Ye and Bai families.

Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to interfere?”

After a brief moment of thought, Wu Zhifang expressed his opinion.

“What’s inappropriate about it?

The Bais have been unhappy with this marriage arrangement from the start.

I think we might not even need to do anything; probably the Bais will take the initiative to propose a dissolution of the engagement,” Old Master Wu retorted.

“Zhifang, if it’s really as you’ve guessed, then the Ye family’s boy is truly frightening.

With the ability to bide his time and such wisdom, it would be difficult for him not to achieve something great in the future!”

“It seems like those in Capital City have been blind all along.

Once the Ye family’s boy truly grows up, I’m afraid he’s going to give everyone a surprise,” Old Master Wu said deeply sighing.

He then picked up the remote control and turned off the scene on the screen.
