Chapter 41

In the capital city, at the Wu family villa, in the study of the old patriarch Wu Anguo, the old man's sharp eyes were filled with a certain doubt. He had been staring at the image on the screen in front of him all afternoon.

Beside the old patriarch stood a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to Wu Kunming. He was Wu Kunming's older brother, Wu Zhifang, the eldest son of the old patriarch and also the father of Wu Xiaofei.

Wu Zhifang's attention was also entirely focused on the image on the screen. The video showed Ye Chenfeng displaying his perfect marksmanship, astonishing throwing ability, and combat skills strong enough to defeat members of the elite soldier group.

The training ground of the elite soldier training camp was equipped with cameras, so Wu Kunming went to the monitoring room, edited this footage, and sent it to the old patriarch in the capital city via the internet.

When the old patriarch and Wu Zhifang first saw this footage, they thought they were dreaming. They even rubbed their eyes two or three times.

Because of the relationship between the Wu family and the Ye family, the old patriarch knew very well what kind of person Ye Chenfeng was. Even before he had panic disorder, Ye Chenfeng was just a spoiled rich kid, let alone after he developed the disorder.

But how could he explain the footage sent by his younger son? Ye Chenfeng not only had freakishly accurate marksmanship but also had freakishly strong physical abilities. How could this still be the spoiled rich kid with panic disorder?

The old patriarch did not leave his study all afternoon, watching the footage over and over, at least ten times, and ordered an investigation into Ye Chenfeng's recent activities.

The information was quickly gathered by the old patriarch's trusted subordinates. A thick stack of documents on Ye Chenfeng's recent actions was placed on the desk. However, there was no useful information for the old patriarch. Everything in the documents matched the rumors.

The large screen in front of them was still playing the footage of Ye Chenfeng's one-on-one with Wang Li. The old patriarch slowly recovered from his shock, glanced at his eldest son Wu Zhifang, and asked, "Zhifang, what do you think of this?"

Wu Zhifang's brows furrowed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the study door was pushed open, and Wu Xiaofei walked in casually, saying, "Grandpa, Dad, you've been in the study all afternoon. I thought you two had fainted in here! It's time for dinner now."

"Xiaofei, do you have any manners? Don't you know to knock before entering? How old are you? Always barging in, who will dare to marry you in the future?" Wu Zhifang immediately scolded her sternly.

Wu Xiaofei was deeply favored by the old patriarch at home. Although she appeared fierce outside, she was a well-behaved girl in front of the old man. She pouted and said, "Good intentions are taken for granted. I might as well let you starve to death."

"Alright, Zhifang, since Xiaofei is here, I have something to ask her." The old patriarch smiled kindly. As the second-in-command of the military region, it was a dream for most people to see the old patriarch smile. Only in front of his granddaughter did he appear like an ordinary grandfather.

"Dad, you can't keep indulging Xiaofei like this. She will..."

Before Wu Zhifang could finish, the old patriarch waved his hand, signaling him to stop, and looked at Wu Xiaofei, asking, "Xiaofei, you're quite close to the Ye family boy, right? What do you think of him?"

At the mention of "close," Wu Xiaofei's cheeks turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of Ye Chenfeng kissing her on the street, feeling both shy and nostalgic.

"Wu Xiaofei, what are you thinking about? Have you reached the age of spring thoughts? Remember, you only see Ye Chenfeng as a younger brother." Wu Xiaofei scolded herself inwardly.

Seeing his granddaughter's flushed cheeks and wandering thoughts, the old patriarch seemed to sense that the relationship between his granddaughter and Ye Chenfeng was not as simple as it seemed. After all, he was a man of experience.

After a moment, Wu Xiaofei remembered she was in her grandfather's study and quickly pulled herself back to reality. Her eyes inadvertently glanced at the screen in the study, and she couldn't look away. The screen was still showing the footage of Ye Chenfeng's fight with Wang Li. Every move was full of masculine charm, enough to make any woman swoon!

Is this still Ye Chenfeng? Is this still the younger brother in her eyes? She only knew that Ye Chenfeng's panic disorder had improved, but she never imagined that his panic disorder had not only improved, but his combat skills had also become so impressive?

Wu Xiaofei took the remote control from the desk, rewound the footage to the beginning, and watched it from start to finish. Her shock was indescribable, and she was deeply attracted by Ye Chenfeng's charm.

"Xiaofei, have you had enough?" the old patriarch asked with a meaningful tone.

"Ah!" Wu Xiaofei exclaimed, her face turning as red as an apple, and she fled the study without a word, knowing that her inappropriate behavior would lead to questioning from her grandfather.

"What a rash girl!" Wu Zhifang scolded with a stern face.

"Forget it, Xiaofei is just like that. Let her be!" the old patriarch waved his hand and said.

"It seems Xiaofei is quite interested in the Ye family boy. If Ye Chenfeng were to become my grandson-in-law, it wouldn't be bad. What do you think, Zhifang?" the old patriarch asked.

"Dad, I think Chenfeng has the qualifications to be my son-in-law. His marksmanship and combat skills are not something that can be achieved overnight. This means there's only one possibility: he has been biding his time, or he has been viewing others with great wisdom, waiting for the right moment to rise. Clearly, he now has the strength to do so."

"However, the Ye family and the Bai family have had a marriage agreement for a long time. It might not be appropriate for us to intervene."

After a brief moment of thought, Wu Zhifang expressed his opinion.

"What's inappropriate? The Bai family has never been satisfied with this marriage agreement. I think they might propose to break it off without our intervention."

"Zhifang, if it's really as you suspect, then the Ye family boy is truly terrifying. With such patience and wisdom, it will be hard for him not to achieve great things in the future."

"It seems the people in the capital have been blind. When the Ye family boy truly grows up, it will shock everyone in the capital."

The old patriarch sighed deeply, picked up the remote control, and turned off the image on the screen.
