The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 469: Play a Game

The people in the private room saw Ye Chenfeng’s face changed drastically after he ended a phone call; even the most naive person could guess that something must have happened.

Wu Xiaofei was the first to express concern, "Chenfeng, did you run into some trouble?"

"Xiaofei, I need to go back to Tianhai immediately. While I’m not in Capital City, you’d better stay home and not wander around. I’ll come back as soon as possible." Ye Chenfeng’s understanding of the Devouring Empire was still very superficial, and he was almost certain that the issue in Tianhai was their doing. Who knew if the Devouring Empire would commit even crazier acts? Therefore, being a bit more cautious wouldn’t hurt.

"Chenfeng, are you going back to Tianhai? Do you want me to go with you?" blurted out Wu Xiaofei.

Ye Chenfeng firmly shook his head in refusal, saying, "Xiaofei, I have very important matters to deal with on this trip to Tianhai. Remember, try not to go out during this time, I’ll leave first."

Ye Chenfeng’s mind was filled with concerns for the safety of Tang Xin and Fang Nanxiang! Tang Xin, the naive young girl, had always been devoted to him, and because of her age, he had refrained from taking advantage of her; while Fang Nanxiang had been managing Victory Sky Society for Ye Chenfeng in Tianhai with all his heart and effort. Originally, Ye Chenfeng was able to peacefully be a hands-off shopkeeper in Tianhai, all thanks to Fang Nanxiang’s contributions, so from the bottom of his heart, Ye Chenfeng respectfully called him ’Brother Nan’. These two held a very special place in Ye Chenfeng’s heart.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s determined look, Wu Xiaofei knew that he was likely to encounter danger on his return to Tianhai, and that was why he didn’t want her to follow. But she also knew Ye Chenfeng’s temperament; with her own skills, she would be a burden to Ye Chenfeng if they were faced with danger. Therefore, as she watched Ye Chenfeng’s hurriedly departing figure, she could only speak in a soft voice, "Chenfeng, be sure to stay safe."

Several hours later, a plane from Capital City landed steadily at Tianhai International Airport.

After Ye Chenfeng exited Tianhai International Airport, he immediately hailed a taxi to his villa in Tianhai. As he entered the living room of the villa, he saw Zhao Wanting and Wang Feifei anxiously sitting on the living room sofa. Ever since Wang Feifei had arrived in Tianhai from Yun City, she quickly became close with both Zhao Wanting and Tang Xin. Furthermore, being the youngest of the three, Zhao Wanting and Tang Xin always took extra care of Wang Feifei.

When Zhao Wanting and Wang Feifei saw Ye Chenfeng’s figure in the living room, a flash of joy crossed their faces, which quickly returned to their previous expression. Although they missed Ye Chenfeng greatly, it wasn’t the time to convey their longing emotions as Tang Xin had mysteriously disappeared.

Zhao Wanting, wearing a light blue dress with somewhat messy hair and thick dark circles under her eyes, appeared not to have slept well because of Tang Xin’s situation. She approached Ye Chenfeng and said, "Chenfeng, Xin’er vanished last night. Feifei and I searched every place but couldn’t find her, and her phone has remained unanswered, so I called you. What should we do now?"

"Brother Chenfeng, you must hurry and find Sister Xin. I’m afraid something might happen to her if we don’t," said Wang Feifei anxiously, her hands clenched tightly together. In the days they had spent together, her relationship with Zhao Wanting and Tang Xin had grown rapidly, and they had become true sisters.

Ye Chenfeng reached out his hand and ruffled Wang Feifei’s hair, saying, "Wanting, Feifei, you two stay in the villa. Leave Xin’s matter to me; I assure you she won’t lose even a single hair."

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes gradually became sharp. After consoling the two women, he left the villa in a hurry. He planned to visit Fang Nanxiang’s place. Normally, Fang Nanxiang would stay at the Victory Sky Society’s headquarters, but he also had a villa in Tianhai where he would go to relax for a few days.

The villa area where Fang Nanxiang lived was very far from the city center, with excellent surroundings—a great place away from the city’s noise, perfect for relaxing. Since Fang Nanxiang hadn’t been in the headquarters for some days, if he had indeed gone missing, might there be some clues left in his villa?

Upon reaching the entrance to Fang Nanxiang’s villa, Ye Chenfeng easily disabled the security system and entered the villa. Inside, it was very quiet. The sun was setting, and the beautiful orange rays shone through the glass windows onto the living room furniture. The only sound in the villa was the subtle noise of Ye Chenfeng’s footsteps on the floor.

After failing to find any useful clues on the ground floor of the villa, Ye Chenfeng didn’t hesitate to head upstairs. There were three rooms on the second floor, and the one in the center was Fang Nanxiang’s bedroom. At this moment, the door to the bedroom was tightly closed. Ye Chenfeng decided to enter Fang Nanxiang’s bedroom first.

The bedroom door was unlocked. As Ye Chenfeng opened it, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from his body. His eyes intently fixed on a man sitting on the bed—a man dressed all in black, with a grey mask covering his face. As if he hadn’t seen Ye Chenfeng enter, the man’s dark eyes gazed out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the distant sunset, his voice magnetic as he mused, "The setting sun is endlessly beautiful, it’s just too close to dusk."

This man with the grey mask, wasn’t he Hei Xin, the person in charge of the Swallowing Empire in Huaxia Country? Hei Xin slowly turned his head to look at Ye Chenfeng and said, "I’ve been waiting for you for several hours now, you’re really slow."

"Did you abduct Tang Xin and Fang Nanxiang? How could you be so sure that I would come here?" Ye Chenfeng watched Hei Xin warily, all too aware of the latter’s formidable strength from their brief encounter last time.

A smile crept across the visible part of Hei Xin’s mouth as he said, "After Tang Xin disappeared, you would definitely contact Fang Nanxiang, because he’s the head of the Victory Sky Society in Tianhai. When you couldn’t reach Fang Nanxiang, you would guess that something had also happened to him. So, you would definitely come to Fang Nanxiang’s villa to see if you could find any clues, right? If you didn’t come, I would be disappointed, and it would only prove that your intelligence was not up to standard. But now, your performance has been very gratifying."

Ye Chenfeng was not there to listen to Hei Xin’s compliments. His tone icy, he demanded, "Where are Tang Xin and Fang Nanxiang? If anything happens to the two of them, I will not let you or the Swallowing Empire off the hook."

"Don’t be so hot-tempered. If I wanted to harm them, would I need to waste time playing games with you here? I admire you a lot and really hope you’d join the Swallowing Empire to assist me."

"Of course, I also know you’re an uncontrollable person, so how about we play a game?" Hei Xin asked, smiling.

Now that Tang Xin and Fang Nanxiang were in the enemy’s hands, Ye Chenfeng could only comply with Hei Xin for the time being. He asked, "What game?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"The game is very simple. As long as you can complete the task I set for you within the specified time, I’ll let them both go. But, if you fail to complete my task within the time limit, you must join the Swallowing Empire, and I’ll still let them both go."

"There is no loss for you in this, and I, Hei Xin, am a man of my word. However, think it through carefully. Maybe after agreeing to play this game, you could end up losing your life. If you agree to join the Swallowing Empire right now, I will also let them both go."

Having stood up from the bed, Hei Xin twisted his neck and with his dark eyes fixed on Ye Chenfeng, awaited his response.

"I agree to play your game," Ye Chenfeng had no interest in joining the Swallowing Empire.

"Good. I will contact you tonight. All you need to do is show up at the designated place," Hei Xin said.

After he finished speaking, the windows of the room opened, a few breezes blowing in, and he leapt straight out the second-floor bedroom window...(To be continued.
