Chapter 331: Identity
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Capital City International Airport was overflowing with people. After getting off the plane, Ye Chen headed for the exit. However, when he saw the endless stream of people and the many entrances and exits, even he was a little confused.
He glanced around, and spotted a taxi sign. Perfect!
At this moment, two figures caught up to him.
“Sir, please wait.”
It was Du Yunyan and her mother.
He glanced at the two of them and frowned. “What’s the matter?”
Du Yunyan’s mother walked up to Ye Chen and apologized, “Sir, I’m really sorry about what happened on the plane just now.”
“Also, thank you for saving me this time. If it weren’t for you, I might really have died.”
Her attitude was extremely respectful.
Ye Chen shook his head and said bluntly, “It wasn’t really about saving you. If something happens to you, it would have disturbed my rest. Also, 1 didn’t want the plane to land and delay my trip.”
The expressions of the mother and daughter pair turned a little strange.
Who would have thought that this person would act to save another person just to avoid delaying his trip. However, they also knew that no expert had a good temper.
Du Yunyan’s mother thought of something and said, “Sir, this should be your first time in Capital City, right? Where are you going this time? Yunyan and I are both locals here, so we should be able to help you. Our car is parked below the terminal.”
Ye Chen wanted to refuse, but after some thought, he felt that it was a good thing for him to have someone to handle some matters since he was unfamiliar with this place.
Therefore, he said directly, “Send me to the best hotel near Capital City University.”
“Are you really going to Capital City University?” Du Yunyan, who had been silent, asked curiously.
She now looked at Ye Chen with a tinge of fear.
Du Yunyan’s mother smiled.
“Sir, it just so happens that Yunyan is a student of Capital City University. However, there are not many good hotels near the school. They are all cheap ones.”
“Because Capital City University’s new campus isn’t complete yet, many facilities and amenities in the surroundings have not been developed yet, or are still under construction.”
“How about this, Sir? There’s a small villa two kilometers away from Capital City University. If you’re okay with it, you can stay there tonight, and tomorrow, I’ll ask around if there are any rooms for rent at the teachers’ apartments.”
“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded.
Half an hour later, a BMW X5 drove into a villa’s driveway. The environment here was very quiet, and it was obvious that the villa was quite new.
The pair led Ye Chen into the villa, where a middle-aged man was reading the newspaper. When the man heard the door open, he did not even look up and asked, “Yunyan, how was your trip to Jiangnan Province? Did you enjoy yourself?”
The person who spoke was Du Yunyan’s father, Du Zhenguo.
Du Zhenguo had been in business in Capital City for decades, and was involved in the pharmaceutical industry. His business had performed quite well, and eventually became a listed company. As such, his family was well-off, and he could be considered a high-status figure in Capital City.
Then, he put down the newspaper. When he saw a strange man in the living room, he frowned slightly and asked Du Yunyan, “Is this little brother your…”
Mrs. Du quickly explained, “Zhenguo, this is Mr. Ye. He saved me on the flight earlier. Without his help, I wouldn’t have made it back to see you.”
“Mr. Ye is visiting Capital City University on his trip, so since it’s his first time in the city, 1 arranged for Mr. Ye to stay at our house for a night.” “Anyway, there are still many empty rooms here.”
After that, she recounted what happened on the plane. The more Du Zhenguo listened, the more confused he became. Since he was involved in the pharmaceutical industry, he was quite knowledgeable about medicine.
Such a strange occurrence was something that he did not believe in.
He knew very well what kind of illness his wife was suffering from, as he was the one who supplied her medicine!
How could she be treated with just a finger?
His first reaction was that the two women had been cheated, and that perhaps the disappearance of his wife’s medicine was premeditated and arranged for by this person.
Was this guy here to earn his daughter’s favor and get his hands on their family assets? He had seen and heard of many such people.
After thinking through everything, Du Zhenguo said, “There will be a few guests coming to our house tonight, and the rooms might be full. How about this? 1’11 ask Little Yang to book a hotel room for this little brother, a presidential suite.”
Du Yunyan and Mrs. Du were stunned. Their expressions turned ugly.
Mrs. Du’s tone was a little unhappy as she said, “Zhenguo, I’ve already agreed to let Mr. Ye stay here, so why don’t you let those friends stay in a hotel?”
“Dad,” Du Yunyan said, “Mr. Ye and I are going to travel together tomorrow. I have already agreed to drive him to Capital City University.”
Hearing the two women speaking up for an outsider, Du Zhenguo snorted coldly. Then, he dialed a number on the phone.
“Little Yang, help me book a presidential suite at the Cales Hotel and have someone drive over here to pick someone up.”
From the beginning to the end, Ye Chen had been watching this scene coldly.
He saw the distrust and coldness in Du Zhenguo’s eyes, and found it ridiculous.
Du Zhenguo hung up the phone and stood up. He took out a bank card and handed it to Ye Chen.
“Little brother, a car will pick you up in about twenty minutes. Also, since you saved my wife, please accept this reward. It’s got 500,000 yuan inside.”
Although it sounded very polite, the intention to expel him was very obvious.
Ye Chen snorted and slapped the card to the ground.
At the same time, Du Zhenguo felt a wave of air sweep toward him. He took five to six steps back and almost fell to the ground.
“I don’t care for this bit of money. 1 won’t disturb you.”
With that, Ye Chen walked out and closed the door.
“Dad, you’ve gone too far,” Du Yunyan said angrily and chased after him.
However, when she opened the door, Ye Chen was nowhere to be seen!
Mrs. Du glanced at Du Zhenguo and sighed. “Zhenguo, you were really blind this time! Mr. Ye was here just now, so I couldn’t say anything, but did you know that the person you chased away was not an ordinary person?”
“What the hell are you two trying to say?” Du Zhenguo sneered. “You don’t even know when you’ve been deceived! I’ve been in the business world for so many years. 1 know exactly what the other party’s goal is, yet I was still polite to that kid just now!”
“If I find evidence and find out that this kid was the one who planned ail of this, I’ll definitely have my revenge!”
Du Yunyan turned around and tried to trace Ye Chen’s path. She circled the perimeter of the villa, but did not find him.
She then returned and flared at her father and said, “Dad, there’s something you and Mom don’t know. When Mom was unconscious, the air marshals wanted to restrain Mr. Ye, but Mr. Ye simply showed them a token, and they backed off. One of them even knelt!”
“Also, I vaguely saw a little bit of what was printed on the token…”
“What did you see?”
Both of them were curious.
Du Yunyan spoke slowly in a trembling voice, “Major General…”
