The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 874: Chapter 873: Ke Ye Corporation

“Did the Ye Family give you some benefits, and that’s why you’re speaking well of them?” Huo Tian couldn’t help but ask.

“My eldest son got sick, and it was the Ye Family’s charity that paid for his treatment. People like you from out of town don’t understand, talking nonsense right away. Get off the car, don’t delay my work.” The taxi driver was evidently irritated, wanting to expel the two of them.

Huo Tian didn’t expect to encounter such a coincidence, but no matter how much he explained to the driver that the person next to him was Ye Qingtian, the driver probably wouldn’t believe it. To those unaware, Ye Qingtian had long “passed away.”

“We really don’t know much about this, so please bear with us. Just take us there first, and if what we said made you uncomfortable, I apologize here,” Huo Tian said sincerely.

Seeing Huo Tian’s genuine attitude, the taxi driver’s anger finally subsided.

“Alright, alright. I don’t want to argue with people like you, but in the future, don’t evaluate anyone without understanding the situation.” The taxi driver started driving again after his remarks.

As they traveled, Ye Qingtian felt quite touched. This city, which he once knew intimately, now felt utterly unfamiliar, with many places having changed beyond recognition.

Finally, the taxi stopped gently in front of the Ye Family Mansion. The taxi driver reminded them, “You two just take a look from afar. I heard that there’s no one in the Ye Family lately, and there are surveillance cameras around. If anything valuable goes missing from the Ye Family, you won’t escape responsibility.”

Huo Tian found the driver’s comments funny, implying they shouldn’t steal. Clearly, the driver held deep feelings for the Ye Family.

“Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?” Huo Tian asked the driver.

“Come in for tea?” The taxi driver was visibly stunned for a few seconds, then rolled his eyes at Huo Tian, saying disdainfully, “Bragging without considering the place. Do you know where this is? It’s not just a place you can walk into.”

Huo Tian didn’t respond further and followed Ye Qingtian towards the Ye Family Mansion’s gate.

The taxi driver was originally ready to drive away but was worried that Ye Qingtian and Huo Tian might indeed be thieves. He stayed for a while to see what they intended to do.

When Huo Tian took out a key to open the gate, the taxi driver’s jaw dropped in shock, enough to fit two eggs, and his eyes widened.

Being able to open the Ye Family Mansion’s gate with a key implied something significant, which the taxi driver was very aware of.

“They—they’re actually members of the Ye Family!” The taxi driver was shocked as if struck by lightning, deeply regretting the words he had spoken earlier.

No matter who they were within the Ye Family, they were saviors to his son, and he had almost driven them off!

A wave of intense guilt surged in the taxi driver’s heart. He hurriedly opened the car door and came out, bowing deeply at the gate of the Ye Family Mansion.

This was an apology for his previous rudeness, and likewise a deep gratitude for the Ye Family’s charity that saved his son.

“Thank you, truly grateful,” the taxi driver said gratefully.

Inside the Ye Family Mansion, the layout was almost identical to how it was when they left, with no changes, except the garden, now overgrown with weeds, showing it hadn’t been tended in a long time.

“So much time has passed, yet this is still the place I’m most familiar with,” Ye Qingtian said, somewhat sentimental.

“Take me to the place where Chang Feng used to live,” Ye Qingtian continued to Huo Tian.

Huo Tian nodded and led the way towards the inner courtyard.

Su Changfeng lived in a small room in the side courtyard, together with the Ye Family servants. However, looking at the condition of the room where Su Changfeng stayed, it was obviously worse than those of the servants.

The small, narrow room was already dusty, and the furniture was extraordinarily worn out. Just from this, Ye Qingtian could perceive how tough Su Changfeng’s life had been.

“There’s nowhere in the world for me, only becoming Master of Mount Heng I feel at home.” Ye Qingtian chuckled as he read the crooked words carved into the headboard.

This was carved by Su Changfeng when he lived there, the point at which he began to show his desire to prove he wasn’t a coward.

“Chang Feng’s resilience is remarkable; in all my years, I’ve never seen someone as resilient as him,” Huo Tian said, full of admiration.

“To be able to manipulate the business world behind the scenes at such a young age and quietly build his own power, Chang Feng is truly extraordinary,” Ye Qingtian said with a smile.

“He controls a group called Ke Ye; can you guess what the name signifies?” Huo Tian asked, putting up a riddle.

“Ke Ye?” Ye Qingtian frowned at this. The name has no direct relation to Chang Feng, but what does it mean? Knowing Su Changfeng’s character, there must be another layer of meaning.

“You can’t guess?” Huo Tian said with a grin.

Ye Qingtian gave Huo Tian a glance, saying, “You’re feeling smug because I can’t guess?”

Huo Tian immediately put on a serious face, saying, “Not at all. I just think the name is quite interesting, so I wanted you to speculate.”

Seeing Ye Qingtian’s cold expression, Huo Tian didn’t wait for an invitation and said, “The Ye in Ke Ye is actually the Ye Family from Beijing. He’s planning to deal with the Ye Family, and if it weren’t for you, Chang Feng wouldn’t have any feelings for the Ye Family.”

Deal with the Ye Family!

Ye Qingtian’s eyelid twitched; this explanation made particular sense and clearly explained the extent of Su Changfeng’s resentment towards the Ye Family.

It’s no wonder Su Changfeng feels this way, given his unfair treatment within the Ye Family since childhood. It’s perfectly normal for him to harbor such thoughts.
