Chapter 11: Once Brothers

"What's gotten into me? Why did I kiss Xiaofei just now? Even if I wanted to annoy Bai Xueling, there was no need to go that far, right?" Ye Chenfeng was driving the Mercedes sports car, speeding on the highway.

In his past life, he had to take on various roles to complete national missions, so he was inherently very composed.

However, the original owner of this body liked to show off in front of beautiful women. After all, what man wouldn't talk a little when he sees a beautiful woman? There's nothing wrong with that.

Perhaps it was the fusion with the memory of this body's original owner that had added a bit of cheekiness and glibness to Ye Chenfeng's character, which was why he had chosen to kiss Wu Xiaofei earlier.

Deep down in Ye Chenfeng's heart, Wu Xiaofei was truly like an older sister. He would swear to the heavens that he really didn't harbor any other feelings towards Wu Xiaofei, at least not for now.

Upon returning to the Bais, Bai Xueling locked herself in her room, lay on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling, and mumbled to herself, "What kind of person is Ye Chenfeng, really? He doesn't at all seem like a fool with panic disorder."

Bai Xueling then shook her head and said through clenched teeth, "Why should I think of him? To say I have a washboard figure? I don't want to see him ever again."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Wu Xiaofei occasionally visited the Yes, but every time the old man was present, she couldn't chastise Ye Chenfeng and could only glare at him with her eyes.

After learning that Ye Chenfeng was leaving Capital City for military training in Tianhai, Wu Xiaofei unusually stopped showing any unhappiness towards him. After all, the two had grown up together like childhood sweethearts; there was no overnight feud between them!

"Chenfeng, train well in Tianhai. Just don't bring shame upon me," the old master said to Ye Chenfeng with pride.

Taking advantage of the old master's inattention, Wu Xiaofei leaned close to Ye Chenfeng's ear and whispered, "Chenfeng, we'll settle the matter of your kiss later. Since you've decided to go for military training, do well and make something of yourself. I believe in you."

Ye Chenfeng didn't let Wu Xiaofei take him to the airport. Whether in his past life or now, he never liked seeing farewells.

Before heading to Tianhai, he turned off his mobile phone because he didn't want his uncle to contact him as soon as he arrived. He still had some matters he needed to deal with!

In the past, Ye Chenfeng attended college in Tianhai, and at that time, he rescued a high school sophomore named Tang Xin. Tang Xin was an orphan with no parents, brought up in an orphanage. Back then, Ye Chenfeng didn't know what came over him, but his heart overflowed with compassion. He bought a villa in Tianhai for Tang Xin to live in and declared that anyone who dared to harm a single hair on Tang Xin's head would be opposing him, Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng's intervention made the young girl Tang Xin develop feelings of adoration for him. From that moment, Tang Xin told Ye Chenfeng that she would definitely be his wife when she grew up.

Thinking of this, Ye Chenfeng couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, knowing that it was time to give Tang Xin her freedom during this trip to Tianhai.

About two hours later, the plane safely arrived at Tianhai Airport. Ye Chenfeng walked out of the airport and took a taxi directly to the villa where Tang Xin lived.

"Monkey, this isn't your business. If you wanna have some fun too, I'd very much welcome it. But if you're thinking about standing up for Tang Xin, you're not qualified!" Qian Fei, sitting on the couch with a dismissive tone, was flanked by four or five youngsters with hair dyed in all sorts of colors.

Across from Qian Fei sat the youth called Monkey, his face full of rage as he shouted, "Tang Xin is our boss's woman. Have you gone so far as to eat the courage of a lion and the heart of a leopard?"

Monkey's real name was Wang Haojie. His nickname came from his sharp, monkey-like facial features. He was a scion of the Wangs in Tianhai, a respectable business family.

Qian Fei's father, Qian Yunhu, was a big shot in the underworld of Tianhai and commanded respect from many well-known figures in the area.

These were the cronies Ye Chenfeng had in Tianhai. Since Ye Chenfeng left Tianhai three years ago and never returned, the reason couldn't have been clearer. Originally, Ye Chenfeng had gone back to Capital City to secure his marriage to Bai Xueling. Unexpectedly, he was soon beaten viciously by a gang of spoiled young masters, which left him suffering from panic disorder ever since.

"Boss? Ye Chenfeng fit to be our boss? He's nothing but a fool with panic disorder now. Moreover, I've heard that the Ye family patriarch is critically ill. The Yes are practically finished."

It looked like Qian Fei's information was outdated. The news of the Ye patriarch being discharged from the hospital hadn't reached Tianhai yet! Otherwise, Qian Fei wouldn't have been so brazen.

Three years ago, Qian Fei would kowtow to Ye Chenfeng precisely because Ye Chenfeng was from the Yes of Capital City. In his heart, though, he deeply despised Ye Chenfeng. Now, with Ye Chenfeng afflicted by panic disorder, becoming an utter fool, and the Ye family's pillar, the patriarch, critically ill, why should Qian Fei feel any fear? Besides, Qian Fei's father had already found a powerful backer, and their strength was no less than the Yes.

All that talk of brotherhood, sharing fortunes and misfortunes together, was all crap. Under the influence of Qian Yunhu, Qian Fei knew that only those who were useful to him were worth pleasing. When Ye Chenfeng was of use, Qian Fei was willing to play the obedient lapdog. Now, he and his father had found a new master. Ye Chenfeng was of no use to them, so naturally, they'd kick him to the curb.

In a corner not far from Qian Fei, a woman shivering in fear was crouching. She was about twenty, with an innocent and sweet appearance. However, her delicate face was now covered in panic and unease.

With a cheap smirk on his face, Qian Fei stood up from the couch and walked towards the woman. "Rip—" in a rough motion, he tore the fabric off her shoulder, revealing a large expanse of her snowy skin.

"Qian Fei, stop right there. Ye Chenfeng is the only boss that I, Monkey, have ever acknowledged in my life. Today, I absolutely won't allow you to touch Tang Xin." Monkey jumped up from the couch, fuming as he shouted.

Tang Xin, whose clothes had been torn, had eyes brimming with despair. She had no strength to resist now. Earlier, she had been forced to ingest a drug that made her body weaken, and the drug was now taking effect.

"Monkey, since when did you become so loyal? I remember you once wanted to take advantage of Tang Xin's body, and then Ye Chenfeng caught you red-handed. After he beat you up, did you turn into a coward?" Qian Fei jeered as he hooked a finger under Tang Xin's chin, taunting Monkey.

Indeed, it was Ye Chenfeng who had rescued Tang Xin from Monkey's clutches before. Following that incident, Monkey had stayed with Ye Chenfeng, learning a lot from him. Ye Chenfeng wasn't like other spoiled young masters; he had his principles. If initially Monkey followed Ye Chenfeng half-heartedly, he genuinely came to recognize Ye Chenfeng as his boss over time.

"Qian Fei, stop spouting nonsense in front of your grandpa Monkey. Anyway, I'm not letting you lay a finger on Tang Xin today." Monkey took two steps forward, only to be blocked by the five youngsters with wildly dyed hair.

"Monkey, no offense, but do you think you can beat us? Quit embarrassing yourself here. If you spoil my mood, you can't blame me for turning ruthless," Qian Fei said, not the least bit concerned by Monkey's threat.
