The Fang Family Apologizes

Hearing the old master's words, Fang Mingyue stopped trying to dissuade him. She knew Uncle Yin, the head of a martial arts family with a lineage stretching back nearly three hundred years. He was over seventy, yet he had only reached the late stage of internal force. It seemed her suspicions were correct: Mr. Ye definitely had grandmaster-level strength.

In the president's office at the Chengji Building, Shen Haoyue was telling Ye Feng about the next steps when a knock sounded at the door.

After receiving permission, Shen Haoyue's secretary entered and said, "President Shen, the old master of the Fang Family and Fang Mingyue are downstairs. They're requesting a meeting with you and Chairman Ye."

Shen Haoyue glanced at Ye Feng. Seeing that he had no objections, she told the secretary to bring them up.

Ye Feng asked in some confusion, "I thought you wouldn't see them. Is it because of Fang Mingyue?"

"That's right. If Fang Hongye had come alone, I wouldn't have seen him. But I can't refuse to see Fang Mingyue. We used to be best friends, and after that incident, it was thanks to her mediation that my Shen Family wasn't wiped out long ago. I hate the Fang Family, but I don't hate Fang Mingyue."

Soon, another knock sounded, and the secretary brought the old master of the Fang Family and Fang Mingyue into the office.

Fang Hongye looked at Ye Feng and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, you truly are a fine-looking man, a dragon and phoenix among men. The Fang Family has greatly offended you, so I have come in person to apologize. Please be magnanimous and spare the Fang Family." With that, he bowed deeply to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Old Master Fang, you expect me to spare your family just by flapping your lips? Isn't that a little too easy? If I didn't have some ability of my own, I'd have died at your family's hands long ago!"

Fang Hongye knew forgiveness couldn't be obtained so easily. He sighed and said, "Mr. Ye, Fang Zhiping was solely responsible for the car accident. The rest of the Fang Family knew nothing about it. Fang Zhiping is downstairs now, and you may deal with him as you please. The Fang Family won't interfere. In addition, I'm willing to offer ninety percent of our assets to you as compensation."

Ye Feng looked at Shen Haoyue and saw her nod. Knowing she had no objections, he continued, "Old Master Fang, I'm a law-abiding citizen. I wouldn't murder someone and seize their wealth."

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye. The Fang Family is willing to sell you ninety percent of its assets for one Huaxia Currency. As for Fang Zhiping, he'll be taking a yacht out to sea to fish tomorrow. As you know, the wind and waves at sea can be fierce, and accidents are hard to avoid."

Ye Feng was quite satisfied with Fang Hongye's attitude, but what was with the one Huaxia Currency? Wasn't that getting in the way of him farming points? So he put forward his own proposal.

"Old Master Fang, I'll buy all the Fang Family's assets at their original price, but you must use ninety percent of the funds for charity. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!" With that, Ye Feng told Shen Haoyue to calculate the Fang Family's assets.

Soon, Shen Haoyue and Fang Mingyue brought over a detailed list of the assets, worth a little over 130 billion Huaxia Currency. With a grand wave of his hand, Ye Feng had Shen Haoyue transfer 140 billion Huaxia Currency. He was delighted: 1,400 points were in the bag.

Ye Feng opened the System Mall and bought four Shadow Guards. Now his family's safety was assured. But he had overlooked the fact that other people were still present.

Four black-clad figures, two men and two women, suddenly appeared in the office. The chill radiating from them frightened the three people present so badly that they didn't dare move. Ye Feng looked thoroughly embarrassed, but fortunately, he quickly recovered and shouted, "Shadow Guards! Rein in your auras and hide!"

The four figures vanished from the room in an instant. After they disappeared, the two women immediately collapsed to the floor. Ye Feng hurriedly helped them up and seated them on the sofa. Looking at the old master of the Fang Family, who was swaying on his feet, he said, "Sorry. I failed to keep my subordinates in line and startled you all."

The old master of the Fang Family managed to steady himself. What does he mean, he failed to keep them in line? He's warning me not to try anything! But he still said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Ye, it's all right. Perhaps your subordinates sensed danger and appeared suddenly because of that. You should be careful too!"

Having recovered, Fang Mingyue cautiously asked, "Mr. Ye, your subordinates are incredibly powerful. Have they reached the Grandmaster Realm?"

Ye Feng didn't hide it. He nodded and said, "All Shadow Guards are at least in the Grandmaster Realm, so the Fang Family had better not play any tricks. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it!"

Hearing Ye Feng's threat, father and daughter didn't dare feel the slightest displeasure. They hurriedly took their leave.

Shen Haoyue's face was pale and wan. Looking at Ye Feng, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, she murmured, "Mr. Ye, is this the power of a martial artist? It's terrifying! For a moment, I felt as though my body was about to be torn apart."

"You know about martial artists too?" By rights, given the Shen Family's strength, they shouldn't have come into contact with martial artists. Did the Shen Family have some other background?

"I know a little. I once heard my father say that when he was young, he met a martial artist who could punch through a tree as thick as a person could wrap their arms around with his bare hands."

Ye Feng nodded. It was probably an internal force martial artist.

"Haoyue, the world of martial artists is cruel. If you can avoid it, do your best to stay away from it. Your task now is to arrange for people to take over the Fang Family's businesses. If there are any problems, you can call me. Also, help me look after Wang Chao. Don't keep him working as a cleaner, or he'll nag me to death. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After leaving the Chengji Building, Ye Feng had just gotten into his car when he received a call from Zhao Peng.

"Brother Feng, what are you up to? Want to go out and have some fun tonight? I found a great place the other day. Interested in going to unwind together?"

"What kind of great place could a brat like you take me to? It's not somewhere lewd, is it?" Ye Feng said with a laugh.

"Brother Feng, you're underestimating me. I'm just a spendthrift, not vulgar. I wouldn't deign to go to a place like that! The place I'm talking about is like an ancient pleasure house."

"Isn't that the same thing? You brat, believe it or not, I'll tell Brother Qin and have him deal with you!"

"Brother Feng, that's no fun. Why would you go telling on me? I think you might have some misconceptions about ancient pleasure houses. In the high-class ones, the women sold their art, not their bodies. The young ladies there were all extraordinary women, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song. Of course, if you're exceptionally talented and can win one of them over, it's not impossible for something to happen! Hehe."

Hearing Zhao Peng say that, Ye Feng grew interested and decided to see it for himself. The two settled on a time, and Zhao Peng would pick him up that evening. Ye Feng then drove back to the Cloud Villa.

Ye Feng lay leisurely on the sofa. Bai Jie thoughtfully brought him a cup of hot tea before leaving. He wondered how Xiaona was doing back home. What kind of gift should he prepare?
