The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 416: Must Have True Skills

The night was hazy.

In Capital City, as the capital of Huaxia Country, there was liveliness unlike any other. Night and day didn’t seem much different there, with neon lights on the streets so bright they illuminated the dark sky brilliantly.

Ye Chenfeng and the others found a popular street food stand. Duan Nan and a group of Huaxia’s medical authorities had gone off to drink, and their younger generations gathered together, led by the proposal of Yi Siying, the combative woman, to grab some food at the stand. Besides Ye Chenfeng and five others, four more young people had followed them there.

These four youngsters were the scions of those medical authorities, named Lu Yuanming, Cheng Xuewen, Zhou Tongfang, and Qian Liangcai. Lu Yuanming and Cheng Xuewen were the grandsons of Lu Shengrong and Cheng Yingxun, while the other two were grandsons of other medical authorities.

The grand street food stand was bustling with activity. Since it was summer, the number of people dining out for dinner and late-night snacks had increased even further. Drinking ice-cold beer and eating freshly grilled barbeque could indeed be considered one of life’s great pleasures.

Lu Yuanming crinkled his brow at the sight of the crowded street food stand, and the expressions on the other three grandsons of the medical authorities weren’t much better. Their grandfathers were famous figures in Huaxia’s medical community; they usually dined in star-rated hotels, so what business did they have eating at a street stand? It was simply beneath them!

"Tianrui, shouldn’t we find somewhere else? This place is a mix of all sorts, not somewhere we should be," said Lu Yuanming. By now, they had all made each other’s acquaintance, and Lu Yuanming knew that among the six people including Ye Chenfeng, Duan Tianrui, Duan Nan’s grandson, was likely the highest ranked—unaware that the actual highest-ranked was Ye Chenfeng, the true mentor of Duan Nan.

Clearly, Lu Yuanming was the central figure among the trio of Cheng Xuewen and the others, so he was the one to speak up.

Duan Tianrui didn’t respond, but Yi Siying did, "I actually like eating at street food stands. It’s called having atmosphere, get it? Don’t act all princely around me. There’s nothing I hate more than people like you putting on airs." Yi Siying had been holding back her anger all evening, and now she let it loose on Lu Yuanming and his group.

Lu Yuanming and his company stiffened, but after a moment, Lu Yuanming managed a strained smile and said, "Since the beautiful Siying likes dining here, then let’s stay and enjoy."

The gazes of Lu Yuanming and the others were constantly darting towards Yi Siying and Jiang Yumeng, filled with a yearning. They were accustomed to toying with countless women, and tagging along with their grandfathers was somewhat dull; if they could have some sort of encounter with beauties like Yi Siying and Jiang Yumeng, this outing could indeed be worthwhile.

Ye Chenfeng sprawled in his chair carelessly, drinking beer and eating barbecue, not at all interested in talking with these youngsters about their nonsense. Yi Siying snatched a piece of barbecue from Ye Chenfeng’s hand in her irritation and said, "Do you only know how to eat? Are you a pig or something?"

Ye Chenfeng had not publicly acknowledged being Duan Nan’s mentor, which gave Yi Siying an excuse to snap at him, especially since Lu Yuanming and the rest weren’t aware of Ye Chenfeng’s real identity.

"Brother Ye, that was not right of you. How could you let the beautiful Siying get angry?" Lu Yuanming said with a smile. "You should hurry up and apologize to her. We men need to be generous."

"Right, Yuanming is correct. Men should always be considerate of women," Duan Tianrui, who had long been holding a grudge against Ye Chenfeng, said. Since Ye Chenfeng had not revealed his identity, Tianrui saw this as an opportunity to settle the score.

Ye Chenfeng finished off a can of beer in one gulp, paying no mind to Duan Tianrui and Lu Yuanming’s suggestion. Just as Lu Yuanming was about to speak again, a group of five or six youths with multicolored hair approached. The leader was a youth in a tank top, with a dragon tattoo on his arm, trying to swagger as if he really thought himself some kind of godfather. It was clear he was just a low-level thug.

The leader came up to Ye Chenfeng and the group’s table and said, "I’ve taken a fancy to those two girls, so beat it. This is my turf."

Lu Yuanming, Duan Tianrui, and the others paled. Lu Yuanming stood up first and barked, "The only one who should be getting lost is you. I know the chief of the police station; if you don’t want to end up in jail, disappear from our sight."

"Kid, who are you trying to bluff? You really think you know the police chief looking like that? I happen to know national leaders, too! Guys, since these kids can’t see what’s right in front of them, let’s help them open their eyes. There’s never been a woman I’ve wanted that I haven’t bedded," said the thug, as his cronies eagerly prepared themselves, not taking Lu Yuanming and his group seriously at all.

"Bro, these two chicks are hot! Can the brothers have a taste too?"

"Yeah, Bro! We haven’t seen such top-notch goods for a long time, I really fucking want to bang one right here and now."

...

Gouge laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Brothers, it’s the same old rule, if I, your Gouge, eat meat, you’ll certainly get to sip some soup."

Hearing Gouge say this, the five youths became even more excited and without further ado, charged towards Lu Yuanming and the others.

Seeing troublemakers approaching, the surrounding customers left at the first opportunity, and the food stall owner hid in the back without stepping forward. Gouge had some reputation in this area. The food stall owner couldn’t afford to offend a street thug like Gouge, unless he no longer wanted to do business there.

Seeing the little thugs rushing towards them, Lu Yuanming, Duan Tianrui, and the others were all visibly tense. Except for Ye Chenfeng, the other men present all stood up. But how could they be a match for the brawling thugs? It didn’t take long before they were all beaten down to the ground.

Only Ye Chenfeng, Yi Siying, and Jiang Yumeng remained calmly seated. The obedient Jiang Yumeng, nervously holding onto Yi Siying’s hand, asked, "Siying, what should we do now?"

Yi Siying, seeing Ye Chenfeng who didn’t give a damn, said irritably, "Ye Chenfeng, are you even a man? You’re really a fucking coward."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly, let out a satisfied belch, and said, "Boss, bring me another twenty skewers of grilled meat."

Duan Tianrui, Lu Yuanming, and the others, beaten and with swollen faces, glared at Ye Chenfeng with anger. Lu Yuanming spoke up again, "You’d better not mess around, haven’t you seen we still have a brother here? He’s a martial arts expert, could take you all down in a flash."

Lu Yuanming was trying to drag Ye Chenfeng down with them. How could he feel balanced if they were the only ones getting beaten while Ye Chenfeng was left unharmed?

"Am I that familiar with you? Don’t talk nonsense," Ye Chenfeng flatly denied.

"Ye Chenfeng, you, you really are not a man." Yi Siying stood up from her chair. She had practiced some taekwondo for a few years and launched an attack on the thugs.

Although Yi Siying had some foundation in taekwondo and might manage fighting one thug on her own, facing their combined attack, she was simply no match. Within a minute, she had lost the fight and was gasping for breath.

"Kid, since you seem to know better, I’ll let you off just this once as an exception, now scram," Gouge said happily looking at the two beauties about to fall into his grasp.

Ye Chenfeng finished a skewer of grilled meat unhurriedly, then raised his head, looked at Gouge, and said with a smile, "I don’t really know how to scram. Maybe you could demonstrate for me?"

Gouge’s face changed as he yelled, "So, another pretender huh? Brothers, soften his bones up."

Down on the ground, Lu Yuanming, Duan Tianrui, and the others, for some reason, felt incredibly satisfied seeing that Ye Chenfeng was about to be attacked; they couldn’t wait to see Ye Chenfeng beaten down to the ground just like them.

"In this day and age, you need real skills to pose. Do you think I’m like these idiots? Clearly, I’m someone with real skills," Ye Chenfeng said as he stood up from his chair, his face calm, with a faint smile lingering at the corners of his mouth. (To be continued.
