Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Wildfire Cannot Destroy It All, Spring Winds Bring New Life
“Mr. Ye, I… I am Yao Shiguo of the Yao Family! This is my son, Yao Zhiming.” Yao Shiguo spoke fearfully, worried about displeasing Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng smiled, “So it’s the Yao Family from the Eight Great Families, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
He made a gesture as if to get up and pay his respects.
But Yao Shiguo and Yao Zhiming hurriedly held him back.
With faces full of distress, they said, “Young Master Ye, you don’t need to do this; you’re really putting us in a difficult position!”
Everyone was once again shocked!
This was truly terrifying. Judging by the scene, Ye Chenfeng’s status was undoubtedly above the Eight Great Families.
“Young Master Ye? Could he be the most talked-about person in the Capital City recently, Ye Zi?” someone suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
Most people had a confused look on their faces. Although the name Ye Zi had been popular recently, the majority didn’t have access to it.
Those who knew the name Ye Zi were basically people with some status.
“Ye Zi is someone even the Military God fears. You guys probably don’t know the Military God either, right? To put it this way, the Eight Great Families aren’t even worthy to carry the Military God’s shoes!” Some who were in the know exaggeratedly boasted.
“Ah! So he’s such a high-profile figure, no wonder Yao Shiguo is almost kneeling on the ground.”
With this explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
Upon hearing the discussions around him, a terrifying name flashed through Yao Hongyu’s mind.
Suddenly, his face turned deathly pale, his body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with despair.
“Young Master Ye, this bastard is my grandson. He actually offended you; it’s truly having eyes but failing to see. It’s entirely our fault for not educating him properly…” Yao Shiguo explained to Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng stared at him with a calm smile, “Are you saying all this because you want me to let him go?”
Yao Shiguo and Yao Zhiming immediately panicked. Yao Shiguo quickly took out a bank card and shakily handed it to Ye Chenfeng.
“Young Master Ye, it’s because this bastard disturbed your good mood. I hope you can accept our apology gift!” Yao Shiguo said with a hopeful face.
Yao Zhiming even knelt with a thud in front of Ye Chenfeng, saying, “Young Master Ye, please forgive my son’s mistake this once. In the future, as long as you have any needs, the Yao Family will serve you without any complaints.”
Once again, the scene fell into a dead silence, so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
The Yao Family actually forced money onto Ye Chenfeng, even kneeling on the ground to do so!
The key point was that this was the Yao Family from the Eight Great Families!
For ordinary people, this was simply unimaginable!
Someone else remembered an issue; initially, Yao Hongyu bragged to everyone about how he disabled a rich man’s son last night, and not only did the rich man not get angry, but he even apologized to the Yao Family.
Isn’t the current situation exactly the same?
Ye Chenfeng crippled Yao Hongyu’s limbs, yet Yao Hongyu’s grandfather and father came to apologize to Ye Chenfeng.
Moreover, the scene was absolutely shocking, with Yao Zhiming kneeling and Yao Shiguo offering a large sum to Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng wore a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth and said, “Old brother, I’m scared to let the tiger return to the mountain. What if someone stabs me in the back in the future? Wouldn’t I regret it to death?”
Though Ye Chenfeng seemed joking, his tone carried a chilling intent to kill.
Instantly, Yao Shiguo and his son straightened their bodies, their eyeballs almost popping out.
What Ye Chenfeng said implied that he intended to kill to avoid future troubles.
“You all know, wildfires can’t destroy everything; the spring breeze will bring it back to life,” Ye Chenfeng lamented.
In an instant, a chill surged from the feet to the brain.
The shadow of death instantly hung over Yao Hongyu!
I don’t want to die! Yao Hongyu shouted in his heart.
With Ye Chenfeng’s words, Yao Shiguo and his son gasped for breath.
“Young Master Ye, I am willing to exchange a third of the Yao Family’s assets for one chance for my grandson’s life. Could you spare him…” Yao Shiguo whispered in front of Ye Chenfeng.
Even though his voice was low, everyone sitting around Ye Chenfeng, including Ximen Leiting, heard it clearly.
Several gasps for breath sounded consecutively, looking at Ye Chenfeng with disbelief.
The Yao Family was actually offering a third of their assets for Ye Chenfeng’s acquiescence. They began to wonder just how big Ye Chenfeng’s influence was. Follow current novels on novel※fire.net
Fortunately, they were allies with such a powerful person; if they were enemies, they’d be devoured to the bones.
Ye Chenfeng did not pay attention to Yao Shiguo, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng unmoved, Yao Shiguo gritted his teeth and said all in one breath, “Young Master Ye, how about half…”
At this moment, Yao Shiguo felt as if his heart was bleeding, and this sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His vision went dark, and if Yao Zhiming hadn’t caught him in time, Yao Shiguo might have collapsed to the ground.
Half was already the maximum that Yao Shiguo could bear. Exceeding half would be equivalent to handing over the entire Yao Family, and such a price was too great.
Neither Yao Shiguo nor the entire Yao Family would accept that, even if it meant sacrificing Yao Hongyu.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at the surrounding strong men, displaying a timid look, “Old brother, can you be sure they won’t come seeking trouble for me? Just look at their fierce appearances, I’m really scared!”
Yao Shiguo glared fiercely at these men.
The men immediately understood and knelt one after another.
The crowd watching was once again dumbfounded; the scene before them was overwhelming, with fifty or sixty people kneeling simultaneously. It was absolutely shocking.
“Hurry up and leave, if everyone kneels before me, people might think I’m very old.”
As he spoke, Ye Chenfeng already pocketed the check.
“Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your kindness!”
Yao Shiguo and his son felt an overwhelming sense of relief, and Yao Zhiming was so excited he almost kowtowed to Ye Chenfeng.
“Yao Zhiming?” Yao Shiguo gave his son a look, and Yao Zhiming, who was smart, quickly handed wine to Yao Shiguo.
“Young Master Ye, please do us the honor of having a drink!”
The next scene was jaw-dropping; Yao Shiguo actually toasted Ye Chenfeng.
Watching the scene unfold, Ximen Leiting and three others were stunned, their hearts filled with shock and astonishment.
Ye Chenfeng wasn’t wrong; they really did come to offer a toast.
After toasting Ye Chenfeng, fearing that he might change his mind, the Yao father and son hurriedly left with Yao Hongyu.
As soon as they left, the bar quickly returned to silence.
“I know I’m very handsome, but you don’t need to keep staring at me.” Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but say.
