Fang Yu’s departure quickly reached the ears of Ye Xingkong.
"Old Zhong, are you serious? That kid Fang Yu really went to Yanjing?" Ye Xingkong looked at Old Zhong standing next to him with a face full of shock.
"He should have arrived by now," Old Zhong said.
Slap!
Ye Xingkong slammed the table and shouted angrily, "That little bastard, relying on his Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven cultivation, dares to go to Yanjing? He’s really overestimating himself."
"The old servant is also surprised... Yanjing is not a place where one can stand firm merely with great strength. The three major Martial Arts Families in Yanjing do not possess the strength of the Fifth Layer, yet they stand tall in Yanjing, which shows how intricate the forces behind them are," Old Zhong said indifferently, "I’m just afraid this kid acts recklessly and directly seeks revenge from the Zhao Family and the Jin Family."
Ye Xingkong and Old Zhong were both well aware of the Fang Family’s affairs, and what they feared most was that Fang Yu would be blinded by hatred.
"With his current strength, Jin Family and Zhao Family cannot do much to him for now, but I’m afraid of the forces behind them..."
"Lu Family?"
Ye Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back and nodded helplessly.
"The Lu Family, standing tall in Huaxia for a hundred years, is a force that all major families can only look up to... The Sect Leader of the Lu Family, Lu Tianyuan, is a Divine Level expert at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Heaven peak. Such strength is truly terrifying."
Hearing this, Old Zhong sighed, "Ah, why did this kid suddenly decide to go to Yanjing." He really couldn’t understand.
"Could it be that he saw the news about Wenjun?" Ye Xingkong speculated.
"Very likely... Wenjun has the protection of the Hidden Dragon Team, so she’s safe... I just worry that this kid is acting recklessly," Old Zhong said.
Ye Xingkong pondered for a moment and then made up his mind, "Old Zhong, although you are of an old age and I shouldn’t bother you, you are a high-level expert at the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Middle Stage, how about you go back to Yanjing?"
"I cannot... although you are at the Martial Arts Fourth Layer, it is also dangerous for you, and now the entire Hidden Dragon Team is used to protect the young master and young lady, if the old servant leaves, who will protect you?" Old Zhong said.
"I have confidence in protecting myself," Ye Xingkong said.
"That’s impossible, your injuries haven’t healed yet, you can only exert thirty percent of your strength, how can you protect yourself?"
With this question, Ye Xingkong was left speechless.
Ye Xingkong could only sigh. Fang Yu’s action had caught him a bit off guard.
"Now, we can only hope that the Jin Family and Zhao Family do not find out about Fang Yu’s whereabouts too soon," Ye Xingkong said lightly, "If there are surplus experts in the Hidden Dragon Team, some should be assigned to ensure Fang Yu’s complete safety."
"Yes!"
After finishing, Old Zhong turned and left the room to arrange the matter.
...
...
Meanwhile,
the news of Fang Yu’s arrival in Yanjing quickly spread to various leaders in Jiangzhou.
After all, with Fang Yu at the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven, he was bound to catch their attention.
The most surprised among them was Fang Yu’s former good brother, Ji Qiubai.
He hurriedly summoned Yan Hu to discuss a plan.
"Huzi, Fang Yu has gone to Yanjing... He and I had some misunderstandings, I can’t persuade him, think of a way to get him to come back," Ji Qiubai said upon seeing Yan Hu.
Yan Hu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yu Ge must have his own matters to handle... Why ask him to come back?"
Ji Qiubai sighed, "Fang Family’s enemies are in Yanjing, a place full of experts... Although Fang Yu is very strong, Yanjing is still a perilous dragon’s den, it’s very dangerous for him to go there."
Hearing this, Yan Hu was shaken and became a bit panicked.
"But... Yu Ge definitely won’t listen to me!" He knew Fang Yu’s character well, resolute and unswayable by anyone.
"Huzi, are you just going to watch Fang Yu walk into his death?"
Ji Qiubai knew that it was crucial for Fang Yu to remain safe; having just solidified his position as the boss of Jiangzhou, a lot of it was thanks to Fang Yu. Now underground in Jiangzhou, which leader does not have to consider Fang Yu’s attitude.
If something happened to Fang Yu, then Ji Qiubai’s position would be in real jeopardy.
Yan Hu remembered the night when Fang Yu persuaded him not to be involved in the underworld anymore, his face hesitated, and he asked, "Ji Ge, can we stop looking for Yu Ge in the future..."
"Huh?" Ji Qiubai was stunned, feeling for the first time that Yan Hu was a bit out of control, and his heart skipped a beat.
"I know there’s a misunderstanding between you... Yu Ge is my brother, and Ji Ge is also my brother... so, I won’t stop Yu Ge from doing anything, nor will I stop Ji Ge from doing anything..."
Having said that, Yan Hu left angrily.
Ji Qiubai watched Yan Hu’s back, his eyelid twitched, and even his mouth corner spasmed slightly.
...
3:00 PM.
A plane landed at the Yanjing Airport.
It was a clear and sunny day.
The sun in Yanjing seemed much more dazzling than the hazy one in Jiangzhou.
However, Fang Yu was in an exceptionally good mood.
"Ye Wenjun, Ye Wenjun... wait for me, I’m coming right now..."
As the privileged daughter of the Ye Family, Ye Wenjun must be a well-educated and promise-valuing person.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
Ever since he saw Ye Wenjun’s appearance on TV along with her impressive resume, he had been very pleased with his fiancee, even more than he had expected.
...
At the exit, Fang Yu hailed a taxi.
It was quite coincidental; while others couldn’t find a taxi, one pulled up right in front of Fang Yu.
Fang Yu got into the cab and said, "Ye Corporation Tower."
"Sir, did you fly in from Jiangzhou?"
"How did you know?" Fang Yu asked, surprised.
"There’s nothing to it, this flight at this time only comes from Jiangzhou," the driver said with a laugh.
"You’re quite experienced."
Buzz...
The car started.
Shortly after starting, the driver, who seemed very chatty, asked, "Young man, what are you going to Ye Corporation for?"
"To meet someone."
"All the people there are elites... hehe, just asking, don’t mind me," the driver said.
Fang Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the driver, saying, "Driver, that’s a nice watch."
"Oh, this watch? It’s just so-so."
"I think it’s worth quite a few thousand," Fang Yu remarked.
"You have a good eye," the driver complimented.
"Do you make good money in this line of work?" Fang Yu inquired.
"Ah, the market isn’t great, earning money is hard... I have to support my wife and kids and pay for the mortgage too."
Fang Yu changed the subject and said with a smile, "You’re rather generous with your spending; despite such pressures, you bought a watch worth several thousand."
Upon hearing this, the driver was startled, then chuckled awkwardly.
About half an hour later, the taxi arrived beneath the Ye Corporation building.
"How much?" asked Fang Yu.
"Ah, I didn’t use the meter... just give whatever you see fit," the driver said.
Fang Yu fumbled in his pocket and after a while, he pulled out some bills, saying, "Sorry, I only have ten yuan on me."
"..."
The driver’s face turned green, not because the ten yuan was too little, but because the bills were crumpled and rolled into a ball, barely resembling money, "No worries, let’s just consider it making a new friend."
Taking the bills, the driver forced a smile, then drove off. Just as he left Fang Yu’s sight, the driver cursed, "Good grief, treating me like just a driver... ten yuan? Ridiculous!" He resentfully threw the money away.
Shortly after, he took out his phone and dialed a number: "Master Zhong, I’ve seen the person... It’s safe for now."
"Good, keep a close eye on him... ensure his safety."
"Master Zhong, I can’t understand it, why protect such a person? He looks careless, and he’s going to the Young Miss’s workplace!" the driver said indignantly.
"Don’t question other matters, just do as I told you..."
Hearing this, the driver muttered begrudgingly, "Yes."
