Chapter Eleven: Elegance Above the Clouds

Trouble!
Seeing these two men, Susan was instantly alarmed.
She had just been worried about the Zhao family matter, and now, unexpectedly, new trouble had appeared before her eyes.
Clearly, the person reporting to the authorities was none other than Young Master Xie.
And Young Master Xie’s father was the chief clerk at the government office; these two men were definitely sent by him.
If he were truly arrested, even if he had a valid reason, it would be hard to prove it.
Moreover, since Ye Feng was the one who had first struck, it would be even more difficult to handle.
“Gentlemen, there might be some misunderstanding here,” Susan tried to explain.
“We don’t care if it’s a misunderstanding. Someone reported to the authorities, and our job is simply to take the person in.”
“If it’s a misunderstanding, a little questioning will naturally clear your name.”
“With the Three Departments above and the Just Judge below, do you think they would wrongfully accuse you?”
The two men insisted on forcibly arresting him without listening to anything.
“Susan, go back home first,” Ye Feng said calmly. “I’ll go with them and explain everything clearly. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Seeing that Ye Feng hadn’t yet realized the seriousness of the situation, Susan grew even more anxious.
She thought: How could it be fine? These were Young Master Xie and his father, setting a trap just for you. If you get taken in, it’ll be hard to get out.
There was bound to be a severe beating.
But Susan couldn’t say these words outright—she might be arrested as well.
In the end, Susan could only helplessly watch as Ye Feng was taken onto the patrol vehicle and sent to the government office.
“What to do… what to do…”
Susan paced anxiously.
She wanted to return to the hotel and seek help from the Zhao family.
If the Zhao family agreed to help, a single phone call would be enough, and the Xie family wouldn’t dare refuse to release him.
But just a moment ago, Ye Feng had offended the Zhao family deeply with a harsh remark.
Given this outcome, the Zhao family probably wouldn’t lend a hand anymore.
“Sigh, it seems I have no choice but to ask my father for help…”
Susan’s father also worked at the government office, though only as a lowly clerk.
Though the hope was slim, Susan had no choice but to go home first and see if her father could pull some strings.
Meanwhile, the story took a turn.

Ye Feng was seated in the patrol vehicle and soon escorted to the government office.
“Get him inside quickly!”
“Hmph! How dare you hit Young Master Xie? You’ll regret it soon enough!”
The three men entered through a side gate.
Suddenly, a young gentleman appeared from the opposite direction.
“Oh, you guys are still busy so late?”
The two men quickly bowed and greeted, “Good evening, officer!”
“We caught a suspect who assaulted someone; we’re taking him in for questioning.”
The young gentleman nodded and said, “Alright, bring him in quickly.”
As they passed each other, the gentleman glanced curiously at the suspect and suddenly stumbled, nearly falling.
“Ye the Hero!? Is it really you?”
The young gentleman stepped forward and blocked Ye Feng’s way.
“Heh, Young Master Hua, long time no see!”
Ye Feng had already recognized the young man—he was Hua Guodong, the one who had driven him home earlier that afternoon.
“Haha, Hero, it really is you!” Hua Guodong was delighted, not expecting to meet again so soon.
The two men were stunned upon seeing this—who would have thought the suspect actually knew an officer? This complicated matters.
“Hey, Hero, what happened here?”
After some small talk, Hua Guodong quickly asked for the details.
“Oh, it’s like this,” Ye Feng explained truthfully. “Someone deliberately provoked me to hit him, so I did. I didn’t expect him to be so petty as to report me to the authorities for such a trivial matter.”
Hua Guodong listened with great interest, thinking the hero was just the same as always. He wondered who was so unlucky to have crossed him.
But when he heard that the person Ye Feng struck was the chief clerk Xie’s son, and that Xie had taken matters into his own hands without proper procedure, Hua Guodong was furious.
“That chief clerk has some nerve, abusing his power for personal gain!”
“I will definitely report this to my father and have him removed from office!”
Then Hua Guodong said to the two men, “Go back and tell Chief Clerk Xie that I’m vouching for this man. If there’s a problem, come find me!”
“Yes, officer.” The two men dared not argue and had no choice but to release Ye Feng.
“Hero, calm down. I’ll escort you home first.” Hua Guodong personally accompanied Ye Feng on the way out.
That afternoon, Hua Guodong had admired Ye Feng’s skills and envied him. Now, having helped him a little, he was extremely happy.

“Still back to Yulong Villa?”
Once in the car, Hua Guodong asked.
“No.” Ye Feng gave another location. “To Fenghua Villa.”
“Wow, Hero, the places you go to are always more luxurious.” Hua Guodong clicked his tongue in amazement.
Fenghua Villa, located at the foot of Fenghua Mountain, was a cluster of villas built by the water and nestled against the hills—a famous affluent district in Yanjing.
Compared to it, Yulong Villa was practically a slum.
About half an hour later, Hua Guodong drove into a mountain-surrounded villa area.
“Hero, is this really your home?” Hua Guodong got out and stood at the foot of the mountain, marveling at the luxury villas. “Which one do you live in?”
Ye Feng looked around and remembered that Third Master had said the villa at the highest point belonged to him.
He casually pointed and said, “Should be that one.”
“That one!?” Hua Guodong noticed the solitary mansion seemingly floating among the clouds and suddenly realized this was the famed Cloud Elegance, once home to the richest man in the previous world.
Whether Ye Feng was joking or serious, Hua Guodong wasn’t sure.
“Thanks.”
After waving goodbye to Hua Guodong, Ye Feng headed alone toward the mid-mountain area.
While Hua Guodong was driving back, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Wanting.
“Miss Zhao, I’m really sorry. I’m on duty tonight and couldn’t attend your grandfather’s birthday banquet…”
As soon as the call connected, Hua Guodong apologized and wanted to offer birthday wishes to Mr. Zhao over the phone.
But Zhao Wanting anxiously asked, “Young Master Hua, do you know where Ye Feng is? He was just here eating, but when I went downstairs to find him, he was gone. Can you help check nearby surveillance to see where he went?”
“Heh, no need to check the cameras; you’ve come to the right person.” Hua Guodong laughed. “I just escorted the hero back home. What’s going on? So late, and you’re looking for him again?”
Could it be the Black Dragon gang causing trouble again, trying to snatch that jade Buddha?
That wouldn’t happen—Black Dragon wouldn’t dare act so recklessly in Yanjing city.
“Earlier Ye Feng said some strange things… we didn’t hear them clearly… and then… then…”
Zhao Wanting’s voice grew more urgent, and she finally burst into tears.
“The birthday banquet isn’t over yet, but my grandfather suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness…”
“Young Master Hua! You said you just took Ye Feng home? Quickly, tell me where he is!”
