851: Chapter 845 The Banquet Begins, Crisis Looms 851: Chapter 845 The Banquet Begins, Crisis Looms The portly Jin Xiaoqiang, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, immediately turned an ugly shade, his cheeks quivering ceaselessly.
In the circle of Nangang’s top wealthy and pampered youths, everyone knew that Xiaoqiang’s name was his taboo.
Given the nickname “Cockroach” behind his back, Xiaoqiang naturally assumed Ye Chenfeng was mocking him upon the mention of his name.
“Kid, do you know the consequences of offending me, Jin Xiaoqiang?
Even if you are a direct descendant of the Sus, I can still make you kneel and beg for mercy,” Jin Xiaoqiang sneered.
“My dear, why bother with such people?
They’re simply not on your level,” said a heavily made-up woman clinging to Jin Xiaoqiang.
“Alright, alright, everyone is here tonight to attend the banquet.
Please give me, Luo Yongtian, some face; let’s not start a commotion here,” a stalwart young man said as he approached.
He had a clean buzz cut and wore a black suit that his muscular body bulged in awkwardly.
After this young man, named Luo Yongtian, approached Ye Chenfeng and Chen Siyu, another man and woman also came over.
The woman was garbed in a white evening gown, her long hair elegantly coiffed, her delicate features comparable to the dolled-up Chen Siyu; while the man, wearing a faint smile, had quite a handsome countenance.
After reaching Ye Chenfeng and Chen Siyu, he addressed Jin Xiaoqiang, “Cockroach, if anyone’s to blame, it’s your parents for giving you such a name.
Why take it out on others?
Do you really want to cause a scene here?”
Hearing the handsome young man call him “Cockroach,” Jin Xiaoqiang’s face grew even more unsightly, but he did not retaliate; his chubby cheeks flushed beet red.
Chen Siyu, clinging to Ye Chenfeng’s arm, leaned in a bit closer and whispered an explanation to him.
Nangang’s top five business families were the Fans, the Luos, the Zhangs, the Wangs, and the Jins, with the Fans leading them all, while the Jins were at the bottom.
Thanks to Chen Siyu’s brief explanation, Ye Chenfeng understood that the young man named Luo Yongtian was a direct descendant of the Luos from Nangang and currently held a military post there.
As for the young man who teased Jin Xiaoqiang, he was a direct descendant of the Wang family, Wang Zidong; and the woman in the white evening dress was a direct descendant of the Zhangs, Zhang Xiaoyun.
Ye Chenfeng lingered on Zhang Xiaoyun for a moment.
Before coming to Nangang, old Mr.
Ye had mentioned he had an old friend there who loved collecting rare medicinal herbs and suggested that Chenfeng should visit him when he had time.
Coincidentally, this old friend of Mr.
Ye’s was about to celebrate his seventieth birthday.
This old friend of Mr.
Ye’s was none other than the Zhang family’s Family Head, old Master Zhang.
Ye Chenfeng calculated the time in his mind; tomorrow should be old Master Zhang’s seventieth birthday, and indeed, he had to visit the Zhangs!
After all, he still needed to collect some medicinal herbs to help Han Chuxue rid her body of the aftereffects of a forbidden technique.
Since the Zhang family and the Yes had some connections, Chenfeng didn’t mind protecting Zhang Xiaoyun in a critical moment.
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze at Zhang Xiaoyun was very subtle, so the others present didn’t notice; however, Zhang Xiaoyun herself seemed to feel Ye Chenfeng’s look, which caused her to frown slightly.
“Brother, let’s get acquainted!
My name is Luo Yongtian, and I must say, I admire you!
Siyu has never attended any banquet with a man before.
You’re the first,” Luo Yongtian said with a hearty laugh.
Chen Siyu, still linked to Ye Chenfeng’s arm, shot Luo Yongtian a glare and said, “Big Brother Luo, don’t talk nonsense.”
Chen Siyu and Luo Yongtian obviously knew each other, and their relationship seemed pretty good.
“Brother, my name is Wang Zidong, please take good care of me,” Wang Zidong also said modestly.
As for Zhang Xiaoyun, she originally had some fondness for Ye Chenfeng, after all, Ye Chenfeng’s appearance had scored him some points with her.
However, when she noticed Ye Chenfeng sneakily sizing her up, her impression of him plummeted, and she responded indifferently, “My name is Zhang Xiaoyun.”
Seeing Luo Yongtian and the others speaking so boldly, Ye Chenfeng felt it wouldn’t do to remain indifferent, and he said with a smile, “My name is Ye Chenfeng, I come from Capital City.”
“So Brother Ye isn’t from Nangang!
After tonight’s banquet, I must treat Brother Ye to a good time in Nangang,” Luo Yongtian said very familiarly, probably the type who enjoys hearty meals and heavy drinking.
“Kid, you’re not from Nangang, and you dare act tough here?
I, Jin Xiaoqiang, guarantee you won’t get out of Nangang,” Jin Xiaoqiang, who had been ignored by Luo Yongtian and the others, boasted again upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t from Nangang.
“Jin Xiaoqiang, Brother Ye is my friend Luo Yongtian.
If you dare to lay a hand on Brother Ye, don’t blame me, Luo Yongtian, for being impolite.” Luo Yongtian warned as he looked at Jin Xiaoqiang; the Luos were significantly more powerful than the Jins in Nangang.
Ye Chenfeng casually shrugged his shoulders.
If a bloodbath were truly to break out on this cruise ship, Jin Xiaoqiang probably wouldn’t survive the night.
So he casually said, “Brother Luo, I can handle this matter myself.
Besides, this idiot might not even survive the night.”
As soon as Ye Chenfeng said this, not only did Jin Xiaoqiang’s face change color, but so did Luo Yongtian and the others.
They suddenly felt Ye Chenfeng was clueless to the times.
This type of person, in their view, wasn’t worth befriending.
They had initially approached Ye Chenfeng because they sensed a notable air about him and thought Ye Chenfeng must be someone significant.
“Big Brother Luo, did you hear what this kid said?
After the banquet, you won’t care about this kid’s affairs, right?
I’m going to teach this kid what it means to be ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and earth,” Jin Xiaoqiang said excitedly.
Luo Yongtian and the others didn’t say anything more.
Chen Siyu, who had been holding onto Ye Chenfeng’s arm, just watched Jin Xiaoqiang, this idiot, coldly.
She knew that if Jin Xiaoqiang truly dared to provoke Ye Chenfeng, he probably wouldn’t even know how he died.
“Everyone, the banquet should be starting soon.
Let’s go into the banquet hall!” In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Luo Yongtian belted out a full-throated yell.
Then, those standing on the deck began to file into the banquet hall.
They looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain and contempt, convinced that he was just showing off and that after the banquet, he would surely be thrown into the sea by Jin Xiaoqiang’s men.
As Ye Chenfeng and others entered the lower-deck banquet hall.
In a monitoring room on the seventh floor of the Fan’s Number One ship, Zhan Lang, Wu Tian, and Fan Qi were all present.
Fan Qi’s face regained a natural expression in front of the monitor that showed the image of the banquet hall.
Zhan Lang kept zooming into the image, his expression growing more excited as he observed the young ladies from Nangang’s major families.
Then, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.
He clicked the mouse, zooming in and in, and when he clearly saw the face of that figure, a slow smile spread across his face.
He said, “Ye Chenfeng?
I really didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to be here.
Let’s change the plan a bit.
First, let’s enjoy a good show and see what ability Ye Chenfeng truly has?
Tonight, we might conveniently take care of Ye Chenfeng as well.”
Having seen a photograph of Ye Chenfeng before, Zhan Lang recognized him at a glance.
Wu Tian, who was standing next to Zhan Lang, also stared intently at the screen, gazing at Ye Chenfeng’s figure as if filled with intense interest.
“Alright, Fan Qi, the cruise ship can set sail now.
Tonight’s ocean banquet officially begins,” Zhan Lang ordered Fan Qi.
After seeing Ye Chenfeng, his fighting spirit became uncontrollable and spread through his body.
…
A crisis was slowly creeping up on Ye Chenfeng in the darkness.
