"Old man Sheng Xingzi..."
"Say your real name! Sheng Xingzi my ass!" Ye Feng furrowed his brow and scolded loudly.
Ye Feng still wasn’t used to constantly hearing ’Sheng Xingzi, Sheng Xingzi’; it felt as if he were in a martial arts TV series.
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s remarks, Elder Yang’s face turned red and, with slight embarrassment, he said, "My name is Yang Tiechui, and I’m a bodyguard hired by Mr. Ye. I’ll be at your service for the next ten years..."
"Yang Tiechui." Ye Feng’s face remained calm, but there was a hint of amusement in his heart. So, he had such a down-to-earth name.
No wonder he opted for a pretentious name like Sheng Xingzi.
"Ten years!" Upon hearing Yang Tiechui’s words, Lin Shiyu suddenly got angry, pointing at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, has your brain been kicked by a mule? If you hire a bodyguard, not choosing a strong, young one is enough, but now you actually choose an old man and even let him stay in our house for ten years? What are you thinking?"
"Sheng Xingzi!" But just then, Sir Lin Zhen was startled, looking at Yang Tiechui with a face full of surprise.
"Are you, sir, the Sheng Xingzi Grandmaster who ranks second among the six Martial Arts Grandmasters of Linnan Province?" Lin Zhen asked in shock, his heart pounding with excitement, hardly believing it.
"You flatter me. Yes, the second among the six Grandmasters you mentioned is indeed me. But let me correct something, I’ve already broken through to become a peak Grandmaster. My strength should actually place me at the forefront of the six Grandmasters!"
Yang Tiechui humbly spoke of ’empty titles’, but he still cared deeply about the rankings.
"Grandmaster!" Lin Shiyu was shocked; she now understood why Ye Feng had asked Yang Tiechui to be their bodyguard.
Lin Shiyu knew that in Longdu, many third-tier prominent families had strength comparable to the second-tier ones but couldn’t progress because they lacked a Grandmaster’s support. Without a Grandmaster, it was impossible for them to rise to second-tier status.
But now, Ye Feng had managed to invite a Grandmaster to stay with the Lin Family, significantly boosting their strength.
With the Zhang Family’s assets and now a Grandmaster in the house, the Lin Family’s financial and martial abilities could compare to the lesser second-tier families of Longdu!
Even based on the Grandmaster’s reputation alone, the second-tier families of Longdu wouldn’t dare disrespect them.
If they were to negotiate with Longdu’s prominent families in the future, bringing Yang Tiechui would significantly increase their chances of success.
"Elder Yang, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you, and I apologize for any offense just now," Lin Shiyu said sincerely, apologetically to Yang Tiechui.
Yang Tiechui chuckled, "No worries, no worries. I look forward to further guidance."
After that, Sir Lin Zhen had the servants prepare a room for Yang Tiechui, and both Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu retired to their room to sleep.
The pair lay in bed when Lin Shiyu spoke, "Ye Feng, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.
"Ye Feng, that casino was originally yours, but you gave it to me..." Lin Shiyu looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng smiled slightly, "We are husband and wife in name, so what’s mine is yours, right?"
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Lin Shiyu felt some discomfort from the words "in name," but her heart was still sweet, and she hadn’t even noticed her own change.
It seemed that as long as Ye Feng treated her well, Lin Shiyu would feel satisfied and always crave more.
"By the way, I might need to go to the Southern Border in a few days to handle some business," Ye Feng said.
"Alright, you go," Lin Shiyu responded.
"Alright, I’m going to sleep..." After saying that, Ye Feng closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Lin Shiyu, however, clutched the quilt in anger. She had thought Ye Feng would invite her to go with him, but he had merely mentioned it in passing.
The next day, Ye Feng and Lin Shiyu went to the company as usual, playing cards and games in the office with Zheng Yonggang and Zhao Ziming.
At that moment, Ye Feng’s phone rang; the caller ID showed it was Liu Keke.
Ye Feng frowned and hung up immediately. A call from Liu Keke was definitely not good news.
"Ye Feng, aren’t you going to answer the phone?" Zhao Ziming asked curiously.
Ye Feng shook his head, "No, it’s just a call from someone who’s not all there in the head. No need to answer!"
But no sooner had the words left his mouth, Liu Keke called again. Ye Feng frowned, hung up, and added her number to his block list.
Yet, after a short while, Ye Feng’s phone rang again with an unknown number.
Ye Feng frowned, thinking it couldn’t be Liu Keke again, so he simply disconnected the call.
But as he hung up, the number called again. Ye Feng, impatient, finally answered,
"Hello, brother-in-law, it’s Liu Keke. I’m in trouble at our school gym—ah..."
The call was abruptly cut off amidst Liu Keke’s anxious voice and a loud yell.
Ye Feng furrowed his brow, hearing chaos on the other end of the line. He wondered if Liu Keke was really in trouble this time; it seemed not like her usual tricks.
Ye Feng stood and looked at Zhao Ziming, "I need to step out for a bit..."
In a moment, Ye Feng arrived at the entrance of Liu Keke’s school, only to be stopped by two security guards.
"Sorry, our school prohibits outsiders from entering!" one guard said coldly to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng frowned and said to the two security guards, "Gentlemen, my niece studies here, and she seems to be in danger. Please, let me in."
"Bullshit! This is a key university; how could there be any danger? Kid, I’m warning you, scram! I’ve seen many thugs like you trying to fool us. Go where it suits you," the guard said disdainfully and rudely to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng frowned, ignoring the guards and walking directly into the school.
Seeing Ye Feng blatantly ignore them, the guards flashed angry looks.
"Motherfucker, punk, didn’t you hear us? Who the hell let you in?"
