Chapter 6

Under Wu Kuiyong's arrangement, Ye Laozi and Ye Chenfeng left the military hospital in an unremarkable car. There were definitely spies from other major families in the capital city around the military hospital, and no one would have thought that Ye Laozi would leave in the middle of the night in such a shabby car.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning when they returned to the Ye family residence. After a busy night, Ye Laozi and Ye Chenfeng went to bed early.

The next morning, Ye Chenfeng got up early. In his previous life, no matter how late he slept, he would always get up on time to exercise. His current physical condition was so poor that he had to persist in exercising every day.

After jogging around the Ye family villa for an hour, Ye Chenfeng returned to the hall to prepare for breakfast. The old man should still be asleep!

In his previous life, Ye Chenfeng had never enjoyed such a leisurely life. Apart from receiving intensive training from the state in various aspects, he was always on missions that could be life-threatening.

Ye Chenfeng wanted to enjoy this breakfast in peace, but some people were determined to ruin his plans. Accompanied by hurried footsteps, two elderly men in their sixties and two middle-aged men in their forties stormed into the Ye family hall.

These two elderly men were Ye Zhenhong's younger brothers, Ye Zhenguo and Ye Zhenbang. The two middle-aged men following closely behind them were their sons, Ye Anxin and Ye Zhongtian.

These were the side branches of the Ye family, and their early morning visit to the Ye family definitely did not bode well.

The side branches of the Ye family mainly developed in business, with industries spread across multiple provinces in China, playing a significant role in the entire Ye family. Of course, without the support of the main branch of the Ye family, the side branches' industries would not have expanded to such a large scale. This was one of the reasons why Ye Laozi did not want to break ties with these people, as even the most powerful families needed economic support.

Ye Chenfeng calmly drank his milk and ate his bread, completely ignoring the side branches of the Ye family. There was no need for him to show any respect to those who betrayed their own family.

Ye Zhenguo and Ye Zhenbang immediately turned red with anger. They did not know that Ye Laozi had already been discharged from the hospital. Without Ye Laozi's protection, Ye Chenfeng was just a useless person with a panic disorder in their eyes, and being ignored by such a person was a huge insult.

Ye Anxin and Ye Zhongtian, standing behind the two elderly men, were even more intolerant. They had come to demand an explanation today. They had already fully allied with the Song family, and the Song family had promised to elevate them to the main branch of the Ye family once Ye Laozi died. However, yesterday, the Song family's direct grandson, Song Zhong, almost lost his life, which infuriated the Song family.

Although this incident appeared to be an accident to outsiders, the Song family insisted that the Ye family give an explanation, preferably by having Ye Chenfeng kneel at the Song family's door and apologize. The side branches of the Ye family, following the Song family's instructions, came to the Ye family without delay, truly living up to their reputation as lackeys.

"Ye Chenfeng, what kind of attitude is this? When you see your elders, don't you even stand up to greet them?" Ye Anxin shouted at Ye Chenfeng, his voice filled with anger and disdain.

Ye Zhenguo and Ye Zhenbang, being of the same generation as Ye Chenfeng's grandfather, did not think it was worth arguing with a useless person with a panic disorder. They left it to their sons to handle.

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng remained unmoved, Ye Anxin's face turned red with anger. He roared, "Ye Chenfeng, are you deaf? You don't even know the rules. The Ye family is really unlucky to have a useless person like you."

Ye Chenfeng burped and wiped his mouth with a napkin from the table, then said nonchalantly, "In the early morning, where are there so many stray dogs barking? They should really be taken to the slaughterhouse and killed."

"You, you, you little punk, the Ye family has no place for you anymore." Ye Anxin, being compared to a stray dog, trembled with anger.

"Speak quickly, and get it over with. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Ye Chenfeng said impatiently.

Just as Ye Anxin was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ye Zhenguo, who looked displeased and asked, "Did you injure Song Zhong yesterday?"

"How about it? When did you change your surname to Song? I never noticed that you had such a talent for being a lackey." Ye Chenfeng said mockingly.

The extremely mocking words reached the ears of the side branches of the Ye family, and even the most well-mannered person could not control their emotions.

Ye Zhenguo was instantly furious, his face turning red and then blue. He shouted, "Ye Chenfeng, today you must kneel at the Song family's door and apologize. This is my order. Your grandfather's life is in danger, and in the Ye family, we are your elders."

"What if I don't go?" Ye Chenfeng asked with a meaningful tone.

"You have to go today, whether you like it or not. If you obediently listen to us, we won't mind supporting you as a useless person after your grandfather passes away. If you don't listen, we will have to use force."

As Ye Zhenguo spoke, six burly middle-aged men entered the Ye family hall, indicating that they had made double preparations today.

"Do you really think the old man is done for? Let me tell you the truth, he's upstairs! You'd better get out of here right now."

Hearing this, Ye Zhenguo's face showed a look of disdain, and he said, "Do you think we would believe a fool like you? If we believed you, we would be the real fools."

Not just Ye Zhenguo, but the other three members of the side branches of the Ye family also wore mocking expressions. The news from the military hospital said that Ye Laozi was in critical condition, and there were even rumors that he didn't have much time left. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to openly ally with the Song family, knowing that the Song family and the Ye family had been political rivals for years.

Ye Chenfeng knew that these people wouldn't believe him. In this day and age, no one believed the truth. He was looking forward to seeing their reaction when they saw Ye Laozi. It would surely be quite a show!

"I'm not lying to you. You'll regret it later." Ye Chenfeng said sincerely.

"Fool, stop bluffing. If Ye Laozi is really upstairs, I'll cut off my head and let you sit on it." Ye Anxin looked at Ye Chenfeng with pity, thinking that his panic disorder had flared up again. If Ye Zhenhong had been discharged, it would have been widely known in the capital city.
