The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 392: Causing a Commotion at the Funeral (Part 3)
Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Causing a Commotion at the Funeral (Part 3)
The guests present as well as Ji Chang had thought for sure that Xu Guodong would explode in anger, yet Xu Guodong gradually calmed down and said, "Ye Chenfeng, you have quite the nerve. Today is Pengfei’s funeral, and I don’t wish to stoop to your level. However, please remember, those who offend our Xu family usually do not meet good ends."
Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Unfortunately, I am that exception. Your Xu family wants to deal with me? I see no chance of that happening. The Xu family will soon perish completely in Wu State, in Huaxia Country."
What is the definition of arrogance? Ye Chenfeng undoubtedly provided the best interpretation of ’arrogance.’
When did such a character emerge in Wu State? Many of the guests present were significant figures in Wu State, yet none of them had any recollection of this extremely arrogant young man.
Xu Guodong, not angry but rather amused, laughed, "Hahaha, Ye Chenfeng, I’ll wait to see your words become reality."
Then, Xu Guodong turned to the guests and said, "Thank you all for coming to see Pengfei off on his last journey. I don’t want the funeral to be spoiled by some individuals. Please, everyone, head into the hall and wait for a while!"
Xu Guodong’s forbearance was extremely strong as he once again greeted the guests, while his son Xu Huanan could scarcely bear it, and his eyes were full of endless rage while staring at Ye Chenfeng, wishing he could immediately chop Ye Chenfeng into mince.
"Isn’t this my sister, Ning Yuting? Sorry, my mistake, you’re no longer a member of the Nings, nor are you my sister. It would be best if you changed your surname to prevent others from mistakenly associating you with the Nings," Ning Yuanhang said mockingly as he approached Ning Yuting with a smile.
"We should keep our distance from Ning Yuting, she is nothing but a jinx to our Ning family," Ning Hongwen arrogantly stated.
"You two brats, dare to say another word and see, do you think my fists are just for show?" Ye Dongjian, who had been holding himself back for most of the day, finally got to speak his piece, and his demeanor was nothing short of domineering as he pointed at Ning Yuanhang and Ning Hongwen and said.
Ning Yuanhang and Ning Hongwen, with their necks turning red with repression, looked at Ye Dongjian’s robust physique, not believing themselves to be a match for him, not to mention the fearsome presence of Ye Chenfeng. They were still terrified when recalling the measures Ye Chenfeng had displayed at the Ning family hall.
Ning Yuanhang and Ning Hongwen turned around and left in a huff from the presence of Ye Chenfeng and the others, believing that if Ye Chenfeng and his party chose to stay in Wu State, they would certainly not come to a good end.
"Young man, you’ve really been too impulsive, had it not been in front of such a large assembly, I fear your life would have already been lost to the Xu family," Ji Chang sighed softly and continued, "Yu Ting, you should hurry up and leave. It would be best to return to Capital City immediately. Once in Capital City, it won’t be easy for the Xu family to trouble you."
This time, when Ji Chang mentioned Capital City, the phrase ’The Yes of Capital City’ flashed through his mind. He remembered Ye Chenfeng’s infamous reputation in Capital City; during one of his trips there on business, he had heard of Ye Chenfeng’s foolhardy deeds. No wonder he found the name ’Ye Chenfeng’ somehow familiar!
"Ye Chenfeng, are you the grandson of Old Master Ye from the Yes of Capital City?" Ji Chang asked in confusion. He had heard rumors that Ye Chenfeng was an idiot afflicted with a panic disorder. Yet, the Ye Chenfeng before him didn’t seem to be an idiot at all but rather an arrogant and defiant young master at most.
"Uncle Ji, I am that Ye Chenfeng from the Yes of Capital City," Ye Chenfeng said following Ning Yuting in addressing Ji Chang as Uncle Ji, not denying his identity.
"You are really that Ye Chenfeng from the Yes of Capital City? Then this person must be the son of Old Master Ye, right?" Ji Chang turned to Ye Dongjian, having been told by Ning Yuting when introducing Ye Dongjian that he was Ye Chenfeng’s uncle, which made it quite natural for Ji Chang to guess Ye Dongjian’s identity.
"Even if you are from the Ye family, you can’t be so rampant here in Wu State! Wu State is the Xu’s territory, and the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake. Don’t you understand that?" Ji Chang felt a slight relief in his heart upon learning the identities of Ye Chenfeng and Ye Dongjian. With the strength of the Ye family, Ning Yuting, following Ye Chenfeng back to Capital City, would surely be out of the Xu family’s reach.
"Uncle Ji, we can’t leave now, the real show is just about to start! Let’s go into the hall and have a look." Ye Chenfeng took Ning Yu Ting’s hand and headed for the hall, with Ye Dongjian following closely, full of excitement.
The body of Xu Pengfei was placed in a room next to the Xus’ hall, guarded by two members of the Honghai Association. Of course, at this moment they were acting as bodyguards for the Xus. Today, many members from the Honghai Association had been drawn to maintain order at the Xus’ villa to prevent any accidents.
As all the guests had arrived, Xu Pengfei’s funeral officially began. The door to the room where Xu Pengfei’s body was placed opened. When Xu Guodong, leading the first group of guests, walked into the room, the body of Xu Pengfei should have been lying in a transparent coffin, but at that moment, there was a headless corpse in the coffin - Xu Pengfei’s head had vanished?
The first group of guests who entered the room and saw the headless corpse in the transparent coffin were all baffled. Standing beside Xu Guodong, Xu Huanan couldn’t help but roar in his throat, "Who the hell did this? Where is Pengfei’s head? How have you been guarding this place?" Xu Huanan shouted at the two guarding the door.
The roar of Xu Huanan drew the attention of all the guests in the hall, and the news of Xu Pengfei’s missing head gradually spread among the guests.
"How could Xu Pengfei’s head go missing? Logically, the security at the Xus should be very tight. Who could have walked into the Xus’ place and taken Xu Pengfei’s head?"
"All of you, stop talking! In case the Xus take out their anger on us, it would really not be worth the loss," warned another.
...
The hall was abuzz with the guests discussing among themselves when Ye Dongjian looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked in a low voice, "Chenfeng, is this the ’real show’ you were preparing?"
Ye Chenfeng gave a noncommittal nod and said, "The real show has just begun; this is only the first step."
Soon, a bodyguard from the Xus hurriedly entered the hall. The family head and others had already emerged from the room next to the hall. The family head’s face looked awful, and from time to time, his glance swept towards Ye Chenfeng, as he thought it was most likely Ye Chenfeng who had done this.
The Xu bodyguard who entered the hall held a cubic box in his hands and approached the family head, saying, "Family Head Xu, just now someone asked me to personally hand this box to you, saying that if I didn’t give it to you, the entire Xu family, from top to bottom, would regret it. That person said that this was something very important to you."
Looking at the cubic box in the hands of the Xu bodyguard, Xu Guodong had a bad premonition but still took it and slowly opened the box. When he saw Xu Pengfei’s head placed inside, his inner rage could no longer be suppressed, and he shouted, "Where is the person who delivered the box? Where did he go?"
The Xu bodyguard trembled and stammered, "The... The person left after delivering the box. I... I originally wanted to stop him, but he was gone in the blink of an eye."
The guests close to Xu Guodong also saw Xu Pengfei’s head clearly in the cubic box, each of them thinking to themselves - really, someone dared to act so brazenly in the Xus’ territory, in Wu State? freeweɓnovel-cøm
Xu Guodong kicked the Xu bodyguard lying on the floor; his fury completely erupted, his eyes glaring fiercely at Ye Chenfeng as he shouted, "Ye Chenfeng, there’s no need for sophistry, I know you did this, didn’t you? I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done."
Xu Guodong had lost his mind, no longer able to contain himself, his reason completely devoured by anger, not realizing that it was only last night that he had instructed people from the Honghai Association to deal with Ye Chenfeng and the others. Had it not been for the timely support from the Victory Sky Society in Wu State, Ye Chenfeng surely would have survived, but what about Ye Dongjian, Ning Yu Ting, and the others?
The events of last night had likewise ignited an endless rage in Ye Chenfeng’s heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
