Chapter 2613

As Su Shoudao kissed his bride on stage, this wedding also came to an end.

When taking their seats for the meal, Ye Chen was at the same table as the old masters of the two families, as well as Feng Zidong. Besides serving tea to the two elders during the wedding ceremony, the first target for the newlyweds to toast after the toasting session began was Ye Chen.

When toasting, the two of them brought the best man and maid of honor, their attitude humble and grateful.

Su Shoudao raised his glass to Ye Chen, bowed slightly, and said respectfully with a face full of reverence: "Mr. Ye, you are the great benefactor of our whole family. A thousand words are all in the wine. I toast you a glass!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Su, from today on, you are a free man. Under the vast heaven, wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do, I will no longer interfere."

Su Shoudao said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your leniency. I have already decided to settle in Jin Ling with Yingxiu!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Jin Ling is a good place. Settling here, you will be closer to Ruoli and Zhiyu, and Ms. He will also be closer to Old Master He. If you need anything in Jin Ling, you can tell the two sisters at any time. If you need help, you can also find me, or find Chen Zekai."

Su Shoudao said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity!"

Ye Chen returned the smile, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

He Yingxiu then personally poured a full glass for Ye Chen, and she also raised her glass, saying with immense gratitude: "Mr. Ye, I am clumsy with words and don't know what to say. Your kindness will be remembered by the He family forever. Everyone in the He family will obey your orders in everything and dare not disobey!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said earnestly: "Auntie He, in the future, you can rest assured to entrust the affairs of the He family to Ruoli. As for yourself, just live your life as a couple in peace."

He Yingxiu nodded gratefully. She knew that Ye Chen had always taken good care of Su Ruoli and knew that Su Ruoli had become a five-star martial artist with Ye Chen's help. Although she didn't know that Ruoli had already become an eight-star martial artist, in her view, even a five-star martial artist was already the most powerful existence in the He family, so the He family in the future must rely on Ruoli to carry it forward.

By 1:30 in the afternoon, the wedding banquet had reached its end. Chen Zekai walked to Ye Chen's side and whispered in his ear: "Young Master, the helicopter is ready, we can depart at any time."

"Good." Ye Chen nodded and asked Feng Zidong beside him: "Uncle Feng, if it's convenient for you, shall we depart in ten minutes?"

Feng Zidong said without hesitation: "Good! I will say goodbye to my foster father and Sister Yingxiu."

After saying that, he got up and said goodbye to the bride and groom, as well as the He family members with whom he was close, one by one.

Ye Chen said to Su Ruoli: "Ruoli, you come with me later too."

Su Ruoli knew that Ye Chen was going to talk to Feng Zidong about some very sensitive or even highly confidential content. She didn't expect Ye Chen to let her go along. Besides being surprised, she was also exceptionally excited in her heart, thinking that this meant Ye Chen trusted her very much.

So, she nodded heavily and said respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Ye, Ruoli obeys."

Ye Chen held his wine glass and came to Ito Yuhiko and Ito Nanako, saying: "Mr. Ito, Nanako, I have some urgent matters to attend to later and need to leave first. You shouldn't be leaving China for the time being, right?"

Having drunk a few glasses of wine and being in a pleasant mood, Ito Yuhiko said with a chuckle: "I listen to Nanako now. As long as she says how long to stay in China, I will stay for that long."

After finishing, he changed the subject and teased: "If Nanako thinks I, this old man, am in the way and lets me go back first, I have no opinion and am ready to pack up and leave at any time."

Ito Nanako blushed and chided: "Otosan... what are you saying... who would think you are in the way..."

Ito Yuhiko sighed and said earnestly: "I'm just afraid I'm not in the way! If I were in the way, how good that would be..."

The bright and intelligent Ito Nanako heard the meaning in her father's words at once and was instantly extremely shy. Her pair of jade hands clenched into fists and kept tapping lightly on the tabletop. With an angry look, she whispered: "Otosan! You are becoming more and more disrespectful in your old age!"

Ito Yuhiko chuckled and turned to say to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I see that we shouldn't be leaving Jin Ling in the short term, so we can meet another day."

Seeing her father become serious, Ito Nanako also hurriedly adjusted her state of mind, smoothed the hair at her temples, and said softly to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen-kun, go ahead and attend to your business. My father and I do intend to stay in Jin Ling for a few days. We have been busy with the wedding for the past few days, and Sister Wanting, Miss Qin, and I haven't found an opportunity to make an appointment yet."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and smiled: "That's good. After I finish the matters at hand, I will host a banquet at Tianxiang Mansion to treat the two of you, as well as your aunt, Ms. Ito, and Mr. Tanaka."

"Great!" Ito Nanako smiled sweetly and said without hesitation: "Anyway, Jin Ling is Ye Chen-kun's territory. We will listen to Ye Chen-kun's arrangements for everything here!"

After saying goodbye, Ye Chen left the hotel with Feng Zidong and Su Ruoli.

The three of them took a helicopter from the top floor of the hotel and headed straight for the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Villa.

This hot spring hotel, along with the hillside villas behind it, were all properties of the Ye family. Moreover, this place was far from the city, the environment was quiet, and no one disturbed it, so Ye Chen planned to keep this place as one of the bases for cultivating Dark Realm experts in the future.

The hot spring hotel had already stopped operating to the public, and as for the hillside villas, since a portion had already been sold, Chen Zekai had already begun to repurchase these villas.

Given the strength of the Ye family and the offer Chen Zekai made that far exceeded the market price, the owners of these few villas had already readily agreed to the repurchase. Now they had signed contracts and moved out one after another, and had begun to go through the property right change agreements.

Once these property rights were repurchased, this would be the venue with the highest security level for Ye Chen in the country.

The helicopter landed in the courtyard of Ye Chen's hot spring villa. When the three of them walked into the villa, the helicopter had already taken off again and headed to the hot spring hotel at the foot of the mountain to wait.

Ye Chen brought Feng Zidong and Su Ruoli to the basement where Su Ruoli had previously broken through to an eight-star martial artist. Here, after inviting Feng Zidong to take a seat, he spoke: "Uncle Feng, it's absolutely safe here. You can speak freely about anything."

Feng Zidong nodded and said without any hesitation: "We talked about why I wanted to change careers to become a host before the wedding started, so I'll start from that topic again."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and waited for Feng Zidong's follow-up.

Feng Zidong said slowly: "The reason I wanted to change careers to become a host is because I wanted to find the whereabouts of my parents. I told you before that my parents entrusted me to the He family when I was six years old, and then they went missing."

Ye Chen asked: "So you hoped that after you became a well-known host, they would have a chance to see you?"

"Yes." Feng Zidong's eyes were like torches as he said: "Actually, I always thought they must have met with an accident, which is why they never came back to find me."

Speaking of this, Feng Zidong sighed and added: "It wasn't until twenty years ago, just a few days before your father had his accident, that he sent me an email. He told me that my parents were highly likely still alive."

Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked him: "My father? How would he know about your parents' situation?"
