Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 219 The Unique Black Card

Hong Qingyan, dressed in white nurse attire, finally stepped out from the operating room.

Tall, beautiful, and pure, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up. No wonder some men have a thing for women in uniform. This Hong Qingyan, like a blooming daffodil, was pure and flawless, possessing a unique charm.

"Qingyan!"

Ye Feng greeted her with a smile.

"Wait, I’ll settle accounts with you in a bit."

Upon seeing Ye Feng, Hong Qingyan’s delicate body visibly trembled but quickly regained composure, and she shot him a fierce glance.

Great, now I’m in trouble.

Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders, following sulkily behind. Not having seen her for a few days, the little girl now had more guts, even daring to speak to him about settling accounts.

Only after arranging for post-surgery care of the patient and handing over work to another nurse did Hong Qingyan seem to remember Ye Feng, and they left together.

"Where have you been?"

Hong Qingyan asked with a stern face.

"The High Seas."

Ye Feng answered truthfully.

"If you leave me behind again, I’m not going to bother with you anymore."

Hong Qingyan looked away, her eyes rimmed with red.

If it weren’t for the information from Sima Zhantian, she wouldn’t even know that Ye Feng had specifically sought out the so-called Ronin Guild. She wasn’t clear about how strong that organization was, but knowing the rampant state of East Pole Island under its support wasn’t hard to imagine its power.

All that detective stuff is just deceitful nonsense.

"I did it because I was afraid you’d be in danger," he explained.

Ye Feng attempted to embrace the beautiful woman by the waist, but Hong Qingyan avoided his touch.

"Aren’t you scared that I would worry myself to death?"

"Big Brother Ye, I have no way out. From the moment Grandpa betrothed me to you, in life I am yours, and in death, I am your ghost."

Hong Qingyan stopped, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

"Qingyan, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have lied to you."

Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache and went over to take her small hand.

"Can’t you be a bit selfish?" she said softly, wiping away her tears.

"Everyone in this world can be selfish, but as the Northern Border King, I cannot abandon my duties for that selfish desire within my heart. It’s my responsibility."

"Just as it is natural for soldiers to obey orders, duty calls, and I cannot shirk it."

How tough it was, yet in the end, it was she who understood others so well.

Ye Feng felt a heavy weight in his heart. He couldn’t even grant such a small request. At that moment, he suddenly considered retiring to a life of peace.

"Can you take me with you next time? I’ve learned a lot, maybe I can help."

This was what she truly wanted to say, her face filled with hope.

"Alright!"

Ye Feng nodded, his eyes revealing much.

Just like the lyrics of a certain song: We who are unskilled at showing tenderness, once thought that dying for love was just an ancient myth, how painful can parting sorrow be, how intense…

The one thing in this world you cannot bet on is the one in your heart, because there is only one.

In fact, Ye Feng knew that Hong Qingyan wasn’t really angry. The one who truly likes you doesn’t need much coaxing—they understand naturally. The one who doesn’t like you can’t be coaxed anyway.

...

"Yo! Qingyan, what a coincidence, where are you headed?"

Just moments after leaving the hospital entrance, a brand-new Mercedes-Benz stopped by them, its window revealing a suited urban white-collar worker.

Hong Qingyan was stunned. Yeah, where to?

She just wanted to come down with Ye Feng to find a secluded place to vent her emotions and then chat for a while; she hadn’t thought clearly about where exactly to go. Then, she turned her gaze towards Ye Feng.

"We’re heading back to Jiangdu, to buy some gifts for the old man," Ye Feng seemed to have his excuse ready.

"Alright!"

"Pick out a few, and say goodbye to Section Chief Yan for me," Hong Qingyan immediately nodded.

"That’s a coincidence, my mom’s surgery was a success today, I was just about to pick out a few gifts to celebrate. Maybe you’d like to join me?"

With that, the man cast a provocative look at Ye Feng.

What a coincidence my ass!

How could Ye Feng not see through such a petty ploy? He coldly said:

"No need, we have a car."

A car, when they’d walked all the way here? The man sneered inwardly but still humored:

"In that case, I won’t disturb you two."

The Mercedes-Benz slowly drove away, as if to watch Ye Feng be the butt of a joke.

"Big Brother Ye, let’s change direction," said Hong Qingyan, frowning slightly, not believing for a second that Ye Feng had come by car.

"Change what? We’re almost there," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

Soon, the two got into a Long Wind Cheetah parked at the roadside and drove away.

"Heh."

"I thought he was some rich young master, turns out he’s all show. Qingyan is still too naive."

```

How much could such a Long Wind Cheetah be worth?

The man originally intended to speed up and chase after it, but when his gaze shifted slightly downward, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The car might not be worth much, but its license plate had a white background, red lettering at the beginning, and black numbers at the end. More importantly, the first two characters were: Dong A.

In the Eastern Border, there were no more than a handful of people who could display such a license plate. The man turned around; at that moment, all he could think was how much better it would have been if he hadn’t taken any extra action. No wonder the car could be parked so casually on the roadside, and no wonder Hong Qingyan could be arranged to be by Section Chief Yan’s side to learn.

The car drove all the way to the largest commercial area in Lanhai City before finally stopping. Without prior agreement, both of them got out of the car and began what was for both of them their first shopping spree.

"Qingyan, what do you think would be an appropriate gift to buy for the old master?"

Ye Feng asked casually.

"Tea, perhaps. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for an elderly person’s health. Moreover, it’s getting cold, so buying a few pieces of clothing to take back would also be good."

"Big Brother Ye, I don’t think we need to be too particular. Considering grandfather’s previous attitude of respect toward you, whatever you give, he’ll like it."

Therefore, Hong Qingyan naturally assumed it was a trip to relax.

Ye Feng was starting to feel a bit embarrassed at how deflective this was, and he said, "Come on, let’s walk around and see."

"Aqing, I heard that Daoyi Jewelry Store brought in a Calming Treasure from the capital that’s about to be displayed. Let’s go have a look."

"Wow! The Calming Treasure, is it one of the Four Great Treasures?"

As they were walking, Ye Feng’s attention was caught by the voices of two fashionable and tall women. In fact, it was difficult not to hear them, as their voices were loud and forceful.

"Daoyi Jewelry Store, could it be the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce?"

Ye Feng muttered to himself.

"What were you saying just now, Big Brother Ye?"

Hong Qingyan turned her head and asked.

"Nothing, let’s go to the Daoyi Jewelry Store."

Ye Feng immediately determined their direction.

"Weren’t we here to buy a gift for grandfather, Big Brother Ye?"

Hong Qingyan was slightly stunned. Although whatever they bought would be liked, the old master had never been one to fancy dressing up, let alone wearing any kind of gold and silver jewelry or something flashy and luxurious.

"I didn’t say I wasn’t going to help you buy something. Let’s set aside the matter of the gift for the old master."

Ye Feng replied without much thought.

"All right!"

Sometimes, the speed at which a woman’s attitude changes can be faster than you’d imagine.

Indeed!

It was the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce. Looking at the golden, glittering maple leaf on the signboard, Ye Feng had already surmised that this jewelry store was one of the businesses owned by the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce in the capital.

When it came to the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce, Ye Feng was certainly no stranger. It was a chamber that had been covertly supported by the former Northern Border King and had grown strong over more than a century with immense capital. Its businesses were so expansive that they could match the big families in the capital.

As for Ye Feng, after the old Northern Border King passed away, the Daoyi Chamber of Commerce had likewise fallen into his hands, although Ye Feng had never really paid much attention to this.

"Wow, so many, so beautiful."

"Big Brother Ye, come and look, they’re so expensive. Such a small bracelet costs a hundred thousand."

Hong Qingyan bent down to look at a row of bracelets in the display case, shook her head, and then stood up again, her face filled with reluctance.

She was a foster daughter adopted by the Hong Family; being able to eat well and drink well was already quite good. As for jewelry, Hong Qingyan had never had such an aspiration.

"Miss, this is a kelly bracelet, crafted from pure white gold with top-level craftsmanship, set with 61 white diamonds, and the price is absolutely fair."

"This way, we have something more affordable. Would you like to come and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the salesperson probably realized that this person would not be able to afford it and started leading Hong Qingyan towards another display case.

"No need. Come with me, I’ll take you to buy the best."

Ye Feng pulled Hong Qingyan toward the center without even glancing at the disdainful look on the salesperson’s face.

At this moment, the center of the Daoyi Jewelry Store was already surrounded by a group of young people, who had blocked off the center of the venue with a three-tiered crowd.

These people, dressed in luxurious clothing, were all from renowned brands. Everyone was eagerly anticipating what was concealed under the black cloth on the display table.

"Make way!"

Ye Feng forcefully pushed his way through the crowd.

"Thank you, dear friends, for coming to observe our revolving Calming Treasure Exhibition organized by Daoyi Jewelry. We at Daoyi Jewelry promise, solemnly promise, to serve you with the utmost sincerity and to sincerely reward each and every customer so that everyone can obtain the taste they most desire."

…

"Now, please admire the Calming Treasure we have brought for this occasion, ’Love at First Sight.’"

The black cloth was finally lifted.

Encased in the glass display, there was a crystalline diamond necklace with two blue diamonds suspended at the center, ingeniously joined together by masterful craftsmanship, with a white diamond arrow piercing through the heart of the piece.

Such a ’Love at First Sight’!

Truly luxurious and grand. Just this necklace, without looking at the other delicate decorations, had its price, taste, connotation, and craftsmanship technique reaching an impeccable standard.

Ye Feng turned around, wanting to ask Hong Qingyan if she liked it, but when he saw her enraptured gaze, he immediately knew it was superfluous.

Click! Click!

Ye Feng snapped his fingers and said, "Waiter, I want that necklace."

"I’m sorry, sir, we only exhibit this necklace and don’t sell it," the qipao-clad beauty next to the display politely said with a smile.

"Take this card to your manager. He will make an exception for me. If he does not recognize this card, have him call the headquarters."

Ye Feng took out a card, a Black Card.

The highest level membership card issued by Daoyi Chamber of Commerce externally is the Purple Gold Card, limited to twenty in the whole country. As for the Black Card, there was only one, unique, and very few people were aware of its existence.

"Who is this guy? Such big talk."

"So many fools these days. Even the second-generation rich from the capital don’t get any respect from Daoyi Chamber of Commerce; this guy should take a look in the mirror."

"Let’s just wait and see the drama. I remember the most prestigious card issued by Daoyi Chamber of Commerce is the Purple Gold Card. A Black Card? Quite likely he made it himself."

…

Rumors and gossip were flying all around.
