Chapter 47 - Picking Faults

Fang Nan Xiang drove the Benz smoothly down the road as Ye Chenfeng settled into the back seat to take a quick nap.His phone rang once again, and Ye Chenfeng, resignedly, answered the call.

From the other end came Monkey’s voice, pleading for help, “Boss, where are you now?

If it’s convenient, come back to the villa immediately!

Sister-in-law is blocked in the villa and can’t get out.

These guys, blind to respect, wouldn’t even give me face; I’m out of options here!”

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Ye Chenfeng hung up and turned to Fang Nan Xiang with a slightly embarrassed tone, “Brother Fang, before we head to the Zhaos, could we make another stop?

I just need to take care of something quickly, and then we can leave right away.”

Ye Chenfeng was not someone who failed to appreciate favors, but Tang Xin’s situation was something he had to tend to immediately.

If Monkey could have managed it, he surely wouldn’t have called for help.

Without showing any displeasure, Fang Nan Xiang replied, “Mr.

Ye, there’s no need for such formalities with me.

Just say where you need to go.”

Before leaving the Zhaos, Zhao Qihua had instructed Fang Nan Xiang to take good care of Ye Chenfeng and to accommodate his requests as much as possible.

Zhao Qihua thought it crucial to cultivate a good relationship with Ye Chenfeng, the Divine Doctor.

After all, for someone like Zhao Qihua, money was no longer a concern—a person’s life, however, was irreplaceable and infinitely more valuable than any fortune.

Once Ye Chenfeng provided the address, the Benz immediately changed course and headed toward the villa.

Meanwhile, outside the villa where Tang Xin resided, a gang of youths, about twenty years old, had formed a blockade, shouting nonsense.

The ringleader of these youths was named Han Tao, who was not from Tianhai, or else he might have shown some respect due to Monkey’s connections there.

Han Tao was thin and wiry, with deeply sunken eyes and hair dyed a messy array of colors, the very image of someone ruined by debauchery and possibly even drugs—a true social scourge.

Luckily for Han Tao, he was born into a family with underworld ties—his father was the leader of a mid-sized gang in a city adjacent to Tianhai.

From a young age, Han Tao had been raised with the mindset of a spoiled scion and in truth, lacked any real skill of his own.

This time, upon coming to Tianhai for college, he had brought a group of followers from his own city.

These noisy youths shouting behind him were the ones who had come to Tianhai for college with him.

Han Tao had had his eye on Tang Xin for a long time.

Having found out where she lived, he brought his entourage straight to her door.

If Tang Xin had been home alone and had opened the door, there’s no telling what someone like Han Tao might have done to her.

Unfazed, Monkey blocked their path and declared, “If you have any sense, retrace your steps.

Haven’t you heard the saying—a strong dragon cannot crush a local snake?

I’m not someone you can provoke just because you want to.”

The Monkey had nothing but respect for the boss Ye Chenfeng.

Otherwise, during the three years Ye Chenfeng wasn’t in Tianhai, Tang Xin would have been screwed long ago.

Han Tao also knew some of the Monkey’s secrets, or else he would have had his men take down the Monkey by now.

The cigarette butt in his mouth was tossed to the ground, “Ptooey, today this so-called dragon crossing the river is really going to clash with you, the local snake.

And I hear this territory is under someone named Ye Chenfeng?

I also heard he was quite the badass in Tianhai a few years back.

Where the hell has that bastard run off to now?”

Not many knew about Ye Chenfeng’s return to Tianhai, and of course, the Monkey wouldn’t go around spreading the news.

Besides, the general public didn’t know that Ye Chenfeng was from the Yes of the Capital City.

Back in the day, only a few close to Ye Chenfeng knew the fact.

Otherwise, even if you gave Han Tao a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to have designs on Tang Xin!

A dragon crossing the river?

The Monkey really fucking felt like bursting into laughter at the thought.

Judging by this brother’s physique, he was at most a worm crossing the river.

“Is your boss’s name something you can mention?

If you think your life is too long, you’re welcome to stay on,” the Monkey said with disdain, having witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s skills firsthand, which could be described in one word: “top-notch.” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt

In his heart, Han Tao was also feeling apprehensive, not having discovered the true identity of Ye Chenfeng.

He shouted toward the villa, “Tang Xin, come on out!

It’s your former life’s good karma that Han Tao fancies you.

Just don’t wait until I get forceful, because then I’ll be really rough, hahaha,” and with that Han Tao burst into a sleazy laugh.

“What the hell are you babbling about?

The Tang Xin you’re talking about is my boss’s wife.

Believe it or not, I’ll smash your fucking mouth,” the Monkey said menacingly, but it was just talk.

With so many on the other side, if he foolishly attacked first, he’d just be asking for a beating.

Right now, all he had to do was stall for time until Ye Chenfeng arrived.

Pointing at the Monkey with his finger shaking up and down, Han Tao said, “Monkey, don’t push your luck.

I, Han Tao, have given you enough face already.

If you push me too far, I could just say fuck it.

I could cripple you and take Tang Xin back to my city.

Then who would dare to mess with me?”

“And regarding your so-called boss, he hasn’t been in Tianhai for many years, right?

Do you really need to be so damn loyal?” Han Tao went with a mixed approach of threat followed by milder tone.

If someone with weak willpower heard this, they might just surrender.

It seemed Han Tao wasn’t exactly brainless.

Unfortunately for him, the Monkey wasn’t that kind of person.

Ye Chenfeng held an irreplaceable position as boss in his heart: “Cut the crap.

If I, Monkey, were afraid of death, would I still be standing here talking bullshit with you?

My boss is already on his way.

If you have the guts, just wait a bit longer.”

Although Han Tao didn’t have the full scoop on Ye Chenfeng, he knew very well that Ye Chenfeng had left Tianhai three years ago.

Upon hearing this, he immediately laughed, “Do you really think I’m a three-year-old?

Today, I, Han Tao, will take Tang Xin with me no matter what.”

“Monkey, I’ll count to three, and if you don’t get lost, my brother’s fists won’t be looking where they’re going,” Han Tao’s patience had pretty much run out.

“Boss, you better not be kidding me!

I haven’t fully recovered from last time’s injury!

You have to be on time this time!

Don’t wait until the Monkey here dies a glorious death before you show up!

That’s the kind of bullshit plot you see in soap operas,” the Monkey said with a facade of calm, praying nonstop inside.
