Invincible Young Master in the City
Chapter 535 - 535 531 Revenge Comes to Nothing

535: Chapter 531: Revenge Comes to Nothing 535: Chapter 531: Revenge Comes to Nothing On the way to Elder Ye’s residence, Ye Fan took a detour to the bonsai market by car, picking out a pot of Aspidistra, thus completing his birthday gift.

Guided by Uncle Qin, in the living room they visited last time, Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun brought their birthday gifts and met with Elder Ye.

Elder Ye sat in a rosewood Taishi chair, accepting the respects of Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun.

Although Elder Ye surely knew the reason, Ye Fan still seriously explained to him the circumstances that prevented him from attending the birthday celebration the night before and then presented his birthday gifts.

Standing beside Elder Ye, Uncle Qin stepped forward to receive the gifts and retreated back to Elder Ye’s side.

“Xiaochao, open the gifts and let’s have a look,” Elder Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

There were over a hundred members of the Ye family, and at least seventy or eighty were financially capable of giving birthday gifts, each often presenting more than one item.

Additionally, there were gifts eagerly given by those outside the Ye family.

When Elder Ye celebrated his birthday, even the incumbent Number One leader would send a token gift as a national gesture of consolation.

Thus, among so many birthday gifts, only those presented personally by Elder Ye’s own children and by those from outside the Ye family with a special status would be personally examined by Elder Ye himself.

The fact that Elder Ye personally inspected his gift, even though it was not the actual day of the celebration, at least showed that Elder Ye valued him and had given him exceptional treatment.

“Yes,” replied Uncle Qin with a smile, immediately opening the first box of birthday gifts.

As the box opened, Uncle Qin’s smile slightly faltered, for inside was an antique-looking pistol.

Even if it were special, a pistol remained a weapon—giving such an ominous thing for a birthday was inauspicious!

Uncle Qin could not help but worry for Ye Fan in his heart, thinking that this birthday gift was not chosen with care.

Seeing Uncle Qin not handing it over immediately, Elder Ye said, “Why don’t you bring it over for me to take a look?”

Uncle Qin had no choice but to respectfully present it to Elder Ye.

To his slight surprise, Elder Ye found it was a pistol and took it in his hands to examine.

Seizing the moment to remedy the situation, Uncle Qin asked Ye Fan, “Fanger, this pistol looks antique—what’s the significance behind it?”

Hoping that the pistol was special enough for Elder Ye not to mind its nature.

“This pistol is a 1906 Browning, one of the world’s first batch of pistols and the prototype for all others,” said Ye Fan.

“I came across it by chance and bought it.

Grandfather spent half his life in the military, establishing and defending our New Huaxia, also known for his marksmanship.

This archetypal pistol, in grandfather’s hands, couldn’t be more fitting.”

Elder Ye, playing with the antique pistol, revealed a smile and placed the pistol back into its box, then said to Ye Fan, “This gift is nice.”

Seeing Elder Ye’s pleasure, Uncle Qin sighed in relief and felt a bit of admiration for Ye Fan’s boldness.

Then came the second birthday gift box, which Uncle Qin opened and immediately recognized as a complete set of hairy porcelain.

A set of hairy porcelain was not exceedingly special but also not shabby; it should align with Elder Ye’s taste.

Thinking this, Uncle Qin passed the box to Elder Ye for inspection.

After a glance from Elder Ye, there was an approving “hmm,” signifying his approval.

The remaining third gift and the symbolic birthday gift of the Aspidistra were standard and appropriate birthday presents.

After reviewing Ye Fan’s presented birthday gifts, Elder Ye’s gaze fell on Li Zhaojun, and he asked, “Zhao Jun, how is your injury?”

“Grandfather, my injury is no longer a serious issue.

Thank you for your concern,” Li Zhaojun replied.

Old Master Ye nodded slightly and said, “You did very well this time.

Marrying into the Ye family, we will not treat you unfairly.”

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Li Zhaojun said calmly.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but feel happy for Li Zhaojun, for with Old Master Ye’s words, she would now receive preferential access to the Ye family’s resources.

Then, his gaze shifted to Ye Fan, seemingly aware of Ye Fan’s request, he proactively said, “The Caesar who attempted to assassinate you was caught the night before last and was executed on the spot.”

When Old Master Ye learned of Ye Fan’s assassination attempt, he was extremely enraged.

To dare to assassinate his own grandson on his birthday was a serious provocation, whether intentional or not, it was a direct affront to him.

He immediately called the chief of the police department, harshly criticized him, and ordered that the murderer be apprehended that day and the organization behind the assassin be investigated.

“Dead?” Ye Fan was somewhat disappointed; he had wanted to take revenge himself.

On behalf of Old Master Ye, Uncle Qin replied, “The Capital is the heart of New Huaxia, and the most sensitive matter there is assassination.

How could a mere assassin commit a crime there and still manage to escape?”

Ye Fan thought it made sense; even he might have been able to defeat Caesar, and in a place like the Capital, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the severely injured Caesar truly had no way out but death.

“Grandpa, could you send someone to investigate the organization behind Caesar?” Ye Fan asked.

Old Master Ye said, “Caesar’s background was thoroughly investigated the night before last.

He acted alone, without any organization behind him.”

“Oh,” Ye Fan was disappointed again.

Old Master Ye then told Ye Fan, “Your wife was injured because of you; stay in the Capital and take good care of Zhao Jun until she fully recovers.”

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Ye Fan said.

He was brimming with anger, and now the enemy had been completely eradicated.

Afterward, Old Master Ye asked Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun to go back home.

After escorting Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun out, Uncle Qin returned to the living room and asked Old Master Ye, “Old Chief, why didn’t you tell Fan about the organization behind Caesar?”

“That organization behind Caesar is rather special, there’s no need for him to be in danger.

It’s been hard on Little Fan, facing life and death in the Dragon Group over these years,” Old Master Ye said.

He paused, and then a fierce killing intent burst forth, “To dare to assassinate my own grandson, they were doomed to be destroyed!

I’ve already sent people to Europe to completely wipe out that castle!”

Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun drove back home, arriving just in time for lunch.

At the dining table, Qiao Feixuan said to Li Zhaojun, “Zhao Jun, I just discussed with your mother, and we plan to hold your and Ah Fan’s wedding.

When would you like it to be?”

Li Zhaojun and Ye Fan were married, having registered their marriage, but they hadn’t had a wedding ceremony yet.

“I’ll leave all the arrangements to you and my mother,” Li Zhaojun said.

Ye Fan was paying attention to Li Zhaojun’s beautiful face and noticed that she was actually calm, showing none of the timidity a girl might have when discussing the important matter of marriage.

Qiao Feixuan laughed and said, “Then I’ll decide on the wedding date with your mother.”

Ye Fan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mom, you haven’t asked me yet.”

“You?” Qiao Feixuan looked at Ye Fan with a dismissive glance, “You just have to obey.”

Ye Fan laughed helplessly, resigned; it seemed that with a daughter-in-law in the picture, there was no longer a need for a son.
