Chapter 1661: Attending the Banquet

Yang Ming made a phone call to his family. He wanted to return home to visit them when he first came back from Europe, but he did not expect Chen Mengyan to be abducted. Subsequently, he rushed to Russia without taking a break and brought Chen Mengyan back.

He had informed his parents before this and he had returned to the country yesterday. However, he was unable to greet his parents because of Chen Mengyan’s case. Later, he wanted to call his parents to report his safety, but it was put on hold because his phone was damaged by water.

Initially, he planned to finish his meal at Chen Mengyan’s house, then take Chen Mengyan home to see his parents. But he did not expect that Chen Fei wanted to go out for dinner at night with him and Chen Mengyan. So, Yang Ming made a phone call to his father first.

“Hello, how are you?” Yang Dahai was in a meeting and saw Chen Mengyan’s home phone number displayed on the phone. He hesitated for a while but still picked up the phone. He made a wait gesture to the others.

Although Yang Dahai was the chairman, he took the lead in refusing to answer the phone during meetings to restrain others. However, this call was made from Chen Mengyan’s house, so Yang Dahai finally decided to answer it.

Yang Ming had returned yesterday. But he heard that Yang Ming had rushed over to Russia to rescue Chen Mengyan immediately after he returned. This made Yang Dahai feel shocked and relieved at the same time!

He was shocked that Yang Ming was so brave that he dared to go to the underworld nest alone. Isn’t he afraid of losing his life there? However, he was relieved because he thought that although Yang Ming’s approach was reckless, it was an act of a man who was willing to shoulder responsibilities!

Yang Dahai was a straightforward and upright person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have many arguments with his brother, Yang Dashan, in the past. Although Yang Dahai had recently become the chairman and become a bit more tactful, the honesty and righteousness in his bones had not changed.

So he was very pleased that Yang Ming stepped forward at this time. If Yang Ming ignored it or just sighed worriedly at home, Yang Dahai would think that he was not a man.

This was also the case after Yang Ming was involved in the Lin Zhiyun incident. Yang Dahai was a bit annoyed, but he did not scold Yang Ming after realizing that Yang Ming was brave enough to take responsibility.

Not many people knew about the abduction of Chen Mengyan. Chen Fei was unwilling to make an uproar out of it. However, Yang Dahai was Mengyan’s future father-in-law. Since something happened to Chen Mengyan, Chen Fei had informed Yang Dahai about it.

This was why Yang Dahai answered the phone during the meeting this time. He subconsciously thought it was about Chen Mengyan when he saw Chen Fei’s home number.

Even if it was not about Chen Mengyan, it should be about Yang Ming.

“Dad, it’s me.” Yang Ming continued, “I’m at Mengyan’s house.”

“Yang Ming? What’s going on with you, kid? You have some guts. Where are you now…? Oh, you’re at Mengyan’s house …” Yang Dahai heard Yang Ming’s voice, and he was instantly delighted. The worry in his heart was relieved. Due to his excitement, he was somewhat incoherent when speaking, “Yang Ming, did you come back already or did you not go?”

“Dad, you know everything?” Yang Ming was startled, glancing at Chen Fei beside him. He didn’t want to tell Yang Dahai about these things, so he would not be worried unnecessarily. But now it seemed that he already knew, so there was no need to hide anything.

“Of course I know!” Yang Dahai snorted, “Your wings are hard now, kiddo [1] 1 . You don’t discuss things with your family anymore. You are making your own decisions now. Okay, let’s not talk about this first. Are you back or have you still not gone yet? How’s Mengyan? ”

“Mengyan is doing fine. I brought her back…” Yang Ming smiled apologetically and said nervously, “Dad, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn’t tell you previously… I thought that I’d tell you when I came back after everything was resolved. ”

“Afraid that I will be worried? Am I not more worried like this?” Yang Dahai said angrily, “Now you have learned to act first and report later?”

“Hehe …” Yang Ming could only laugh wryly at his father’s blame. Although Yang Ming felt that his father’s fears were no longer necessary, he did not raise any objections. After all, no matter how old he was, he would always be just a child in his father’s eyes.

“Did you bring Mengyan back?” Yang Dahai finished scolding Yang Ming and thought about the crux of the matter that Yang Ming seemed to have said just now. He has brought Chen Mengyan back. How did he bring her back?

“En … let’s talk about this matter later,” Yang Ming glanced at Chen Fei with a bitter smile. Chen Fei smiled apologetically. He also understood that Yang Ming could not tell the entire truth to Yang Dahai regarding certain matters. But Yang Ming had no choice but to explain it since Yang Dahai knew about it. It had become a troublesome thing. Chen Fei didn’t think too much about it at the time, but he felt sorry now seeing that Yang Ming was in distress.

“Dad, Uncle Chen is going to take me and Mengyan out for a banquet at night. I was planning to take Mengyan home, but I’m afraid it won’t work now. If the banquet finishes too late, we will only be able to go home tomorrow,” Yang Ming postponed the previous topic first and said.

” Oh? Are you going out tonight? Since Old Chen is the one who wants to take you out, it is naturally alright. But after you get home, you have to explain it to me in detail. How did you bring Chen Mengyan back?” Yang Dahai felt perplexed in his heart. How exactly did my son accomplish this thing that seemed to be difficult for the police?

Chen Fei also suffered a long time because of this, but Yang Ming solved it as soon as he went there? Although Yang Dahai had also gradually learned that his son was no ordinary person, wasn’t this too unexpected?

“Okay, definitely!” Yang Ming quickly promised, but he was thinking about how to explain it to his father. In fact, Yang Ming really did not want to deceive his father. Yang Ming’s heart felt uncomfortable even after he lied to his parents once about the high school fight with Jin Gang and the wrecked bicycle. So Yang Ming would avoid deceiving his parents unless he really had no choice.

However, the matters of the King of Assassins could never be said. If Yang Ming were troubled, he could only choose to talk about his identity with the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Come to think of it, his father would believe it.

Yang Ming hung up the phone and looked helplessly at Chen Fei. While Chen Mengyan and Chen Fangyu were not paying attention, he whispered, “Uncle Chen, you really know how to find troubles for me. Now my dad keeps asking. He is also a little suspicious of me! ”

“I didn’t think so much at the start!” Chen Fei shrugged helplessly, “If there is no other choice, you can tell Old Brother Yang about the Supernatural Investigation Bureau selectively. Anyway, they do not have stipulations to keep things secret from family. ”

“That’s the only way.” Yang Ming nodded.

……

With Chen Fei’s level, he naturally had a special car to pick him up to and from work. But there was no need to use a company’s car to participate in this kind of private gathering. It was not that there was no other car at home. If people who had ulterior motives saw that, it would impact Chen Fei unfavorably.

Yang Ming’s car was parked downstairs, so Chen Fei didn’t need to find another car at all.

Previously, Yang Ming had asked Victoria to return to the hotel first. Originally, Yang Ming had something to say to Victoria, but Victoria had to leave first because of Chen Fei’s evening dinner.

Victoria was technically Yang Ming’s “slave”, and so she obeyed his every order. However, this time, Yang Ming felt that Victoria seemed to have a touch of emotion even though she didn’t hesitate to agree to his request.

“Where are we going?” Yang Ming took the driver’s seat while Chen Mengyan sat in the front seat. Chen Fei and Chen Fangyu sat at the back.

“Song Jiang International Hotel.” Chen Fei pursed his lips and smirked at Yang Ming, “That is your property…”

Yang Ming heard Chen Fei’s words and revealed a strange expression on his face, “Uncle Chen wants to enjoy vanity for a while too?”

“We’ll see.” Uncle Chen said nothing, but Mother Chen said, “It will be fine if Chen Zhiye doesn’t brag, that’s fine. But if he brags, don’t let him joke about you.”

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Chen Fei said, pulling Chen Fangyu’s sleeve.

“How is it nonsense?” Mother Chen snorted for a moment and said, “I just analyzed carefully and realized why Elder Cousin Zhifu persuaded us so much to attend. Previously, we were both the most outstanding people in the Chen family village. Now that Chen Zhiye is back, Cousin Chen Zhifu naturally wants to show off to us a bit!

“How can people do this? Aren’t we all relatives? How can there be so many thoughts when we are simply having a meal together?” Chen Fei waved his hand generously, motioning to Chen Fangyu not to guess wildly.

Chapter 1662: Highschool History

Yang Ming sneered after hearing Mother Chen’s words. Mother Chen’s guesses were most probably correct on this matter. It was just that Chen Fei was more upright and didn’t think that much.

Yang Ming naturally remembered the former classmate gathering held by Sui Guangqi. In many cases, this kind of classmate reunion and village gathering were basically initiated by successful people. The organizer likely had certain achievements. On the surface, it seemed like they care about past friendships when they invited their old classmates and good friends to gather together. But the truth was that they just wanted to show off their strength.

“Chen Zhiye. This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard of it before?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked. After all, this man was an old friend of Chen Fei and Chen Fangyu. It would be somewhat impolite if Yang Ming just rashly mentioned him.

“Chen Xiaolong’s father!” Chen Mengyan hinted in Yang Ming’s ear softly.

“It’s him?” Yang Ming’s face suddenly became gloomy. Yang Ming was not unfamiliar with this name. On the contrary, he was very familiar with it! This Chen Xiaolong was a high school classmate of Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan. However, he transferred to the South in the first semester of Grade 11. Nonetheless, this person’s behavior made Yang Ming very displeased.

The main reason for this person’s transfer was also related to Yang Ming. At first, Chen Xiaolong was really low-key for a while because of his father’s affairs. But then Hu San was killed, and his Uncle Chen Zhifu had also made a fortune here. Thus, Chen Xiaolong began to get a little brazen in doing things.

This Chen Xiaolong was one of Chen Mengyan’s suitors. But relying on the advantages of knowing Chen Mengyan since childhood, he made rumors in the class and school. He claimed that Chen Mengyan was his childhood sweetheart and they even had physical intimacy. With every detail described, many people who didn’t know the truth believed that Chen Mengyan was indeed his girlfriend!

Yang Ming was also one of the victims at that time. He really believed Chen Xiaolong’s story and was sad for a while.

This was actually Chen Xiaolong’s tactic. He wanted to first create a seemingly established fact, so he spread the rumors around to let everyone believe it to be true. At that time, even if Chen Mengyan was not willing, she might really become his girlfriend over time due to the ongoing rumor.

This tactic was actually very common; it was just a matter of executing it properly. But Chen Xiaolong executed it perfectly. After all, he had the advantage of being born in the Chen Family Village at the same time as Chen Mengyan, and their parents were old family friends. Others couldn’t help but believe these things!

A girl with a soft heart might have compromised. Served Chen Xiaolong right that his trick failed. Chen Mengyan never thought about looking for a boyfriend in high school. So, it did not matter what tactics Chen Xiaolong used, not to mention Chen Mengyan didn’t like him. Even if she liked him, she wouldn’t easily promise to be his girlfriend.

This was also the direct reason why Chen Xiaolong’s tactic failed.

Such a trick could cheat people for a while but not for a lifetime. Over time, flaws would be exposed naturally. Many people could see that Chen Xiaolong’s love was only one-sided. Chen Mengyan ignored him completely. Let alone girlfriend, perhaps they were not even ordinary friends!

Seeing that this guy dared to swindle his dream lover by starting such a rumor, Yang Ming was naturally displeased. Yang Ming was a well-known fighter king and bad student in the school, and so Chen Xiaolong’s tragedy began.

Yang Ming made up two excuses every other day to whack this kid. Anyway, Yang Ming never needed a reason to hit people. Chen Xiaolong also couldn’t guess why Yang Ming hit him. After asking for forgiveness several times to no avail, he could only run far away when he saw Yang Ming.

Although he taught Chen Xiaolong a lesson because of Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming also was aware of his own position. As Chen Xiaolong was not worthy of Chen Mengyan, Yang Ming also felt that he was not worthy at the time. If he hastily expressed his intention, it would be even uglier. It was better if he concealed it in the depths of his heart and released his anger by beating up Chen Xiaolong.

On one hand, he continued to pursue Chen Mengyan vigorously, but on the other hand, he had to watch out for Yang Ming who found fault with him at any time. Chen Xiaolong had also asked Yang Ming more than once about how he had offended him, but Yang Ming was too lazy to explain. Thus, Chen Xiaolong continued to suffer beatings without knowing why.

Of course, this was just what happened in the first semester of Grade 11. At the end of the freshman second semester, Chen Xiaolong did something that infuriated Yang Ming!

When the final exam ended, Chen Xiaolong blocked Chen Mengyan in the alley near the school. After he said a few words to Chen Mengyan, Chen Mengyan seemed like she wanted to refuse something. As a result, Chen Xiaolong wanted to forcefully kiss Chen Mengyan. How could Yang Ming tolerate that?

Yang Ming wanted to rampage at that time, but he hesitated. He let Li Dagang take action while he hid nearby. Therefore, Chen Xiaolong was tragically beaten up again by Li Dagang. Only Chen Mengyan escaped unexpectedly and she wanted to thank Li Dagang. But Li Dagang turned around and left after finishing up Chen Xiaolong. He never gave Chen Mengyan a chance to speak!

Besides feeling relieved that she was unexpectedly saved, Chen Mengyan was a bit depressed. Other heroes saved the beauty, and they all wanted to attract the attention and favor of the beautiful women. But this person was different. After beating up Chen Xiaolong, he just turned around and left!

What kind of person is this? Chen Mengyan was not a hopeless romantic. Naturally, she would not like Li Dagang just because of this incident. She only paid a little more attention to this person in the future. After inquiring, she suddenly discovered that this Li Dagang was also a well-known bad student in the school and he was under the fighting king Yang Ming in her class!

Chen Mengyan was slightly surprised after knowing that Li Dagang was under Yang Ming’s command. But she soon forgot about when the summer vacation came.

Meanwhile, after knowing that Chen Mengyan had actually inquired about Li Dagang afterward, Yang Ming suddenly regretted that he did not come out of hiding previously. At that time, although Yang Ming seemed to be extremely powerful in school, he still had some cowardice and inferiority deep inside. The blow of Su Ya’s incident made it hard to unlock Yang Ming’s heart.

However, Yang Ming also did not regret it. He recognized that even if he were the hero that saved the beauty, Chen Mengyan would be at most grateful to him. There would be no other unruly behaviors and she would not become his girlfriend. So he simply did a good deed without leaving a name. After the three years of high school passed quickly, everyone would go their separate ways after graduation, and the past would disappear with the wind.

However, Chen Xiaolong was really unlucky. Although he was infatuated with Chen Mengyan and was unwilling to leave, after somehow provoking Yang Ming, the number one ruthless man in the school, he actually provoked Li Dagang, the second ruthless man. His days would be miserable and this made Chen Xiaolong suddenly think of his father’s sorrow when he was driven away by Hu San. Although Yang Ming and Li Dagang were not as fierce and ruthless as Hu San, who could bear a round of beating every day?

As a result, Chen Xiaolong simply transferred to the south unwillingly.

After that, Yang Ming also gradually forgot about this person’s existence after he disappeared from his sight. But when Chen Mengyan mentioned this person again this time, it made Yang Ming’s face look displeased suddenly.

“He’s going tonight too?” Yang Ming took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. He didn’t know why the aggressive genes he had suppressed a long time ago were agitated after Chen Mengyan mentioned this name. It made Yang Ming once again want to experience the impulsive and bloody thrill of a small street fight.

“Probably…” Chen Mengyan frowned as was also disgusted by that man.
