The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 1055 [The Han Family’s Secret]

"Ah? Mingtian, come in then!"

Upon hearing it was Ye Mingtian, Ye Jianguo immediately changed his attitude and opened the door proactively.

"Grandfather, I heard that since you returned yesterday, you’ve shut yourself in?" Ye Mingtian asked directly.

Ye Jianguo didn’t hide anything from Ye Mingtian and told him everything that had happened.

"That amazing?" Ye Mingtian was also shocked upon learning the outcome and said in surprise, "The son-in-law of the Ji Family actually beat you?"

Ye Jianguo nodded weakly, "That’s right. I lost miserably, and it even felt like I was being played with."

"Grandfather, did you see what Ji Qingrong’s grandson-in-law looks like?" Ye Mingtian asked curiously.

Ye Jianguo shook his head, "How could I? That old guy Ji Qingrong practically treasures his grandson-in-law, keeping him hidden. Even during the chess game, there was a screen between us."

Ye Jianguo continued helplessly, "Initially, I thought Ji Qingrong was cheating, but to cheat at our level, you’d have to be someone better at chess than me. So I reckon this grandson-in-law of Ji Qingrong’s really exists."

"Grandfather, I think this matter is not simple. Knowing Ji Qingrong, it’s definitely not as simple as hiring a master to beat you. You’ve had dealings with him for decades, you know him well. I think he must be plotting something," Ye Mingtian said with a smile.

Ye Jianguo nodded, his eyes flashing, "Indeed, that’s the case, so I want to arrange another match with him. I want to see what he’s up to."

Ye Mingtian showed a slight smile, "Grandfather, are you suggesting I should step in?"

"That’s right, you’re the one to play. First, to see what Ji Qingrong is up to, and second, to defeat his grandson-in-law. We of the Ye Family cannot lose!"

Ye Mingtian’s mouth curved into an arc, "Alright, Grandfather, just let me know when it’s arranged."

"Haha, with you playing, I’m at ease. Ji Qingrong may press me all my life, but my descendants can also press the Ji Family for all their lives," Ye Jianguo brightened up immediately.

After staying in for almost a day, when he finally came out, it genuinely surprised many people.

"Young Master Mingtian is indeed impressive, every time he comes, Elder Ye is happy."

...

Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng had just finished tidying up when Qin Yanran called.

"What’s up?" Ye Chenfeng asked lightly.

"Ye, what do you think of my mom? Isn’t it typical to exchange contact info after meeting? Why haven’t you done anything at all?" Qin Yanran asked curiously.

Ye Chenfeng: "...".

Ye Chenfeng had a forehead full of black lines; Qin Yanran was determined to promote Han Zhushang.

He was already trying to avoid her, where would he find the heart to contact her actively?

"Do you have any thoughts?" Qin Yanran continued to probe.

"She’s okay, very pretty," Ye Chenfeng replied half-heartedly.

"Then you do have some thoughts. I’ll arrange a meeting between just the two of you this time. I promise not to be a third wheel," Qin Yanran said.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly remembered something and switched topics, "Little girl, is your grandfather there? I have something to discuss with him."

"Pfft, why do you want to see my grandfather?" Qin Yanran was stunned.

"What are you thinking, little girl? I have something to discuss with your grandfather," Ye Chenfeng realized Qin Yanran misunderstood, especially since they were talking about Han Zhushang, then suddenly he shifted to Qin Changtian.

"My grandfather is here, I’ll have Sixth Brother come to pick you up!" Qin Yanran said.

"Alright!"

Soon, Sixth Brother came to pick up Ye Chenfeng.

Half an hour later, Ye Chenfeng arrived at the Qin family’s estate.

"What brings you here, my young friend Ye?" Qin Changtian greeted Ye Chenfeng with great pleasure.

"Old Qin, I have something to discuss with you!" Ye Chenfeng got straight to the point.

Qin Changtian’s expression changed, and he spoke in a very serious tone, "Could it be that there’s news from the Old Lama?"

Ye Chenfeng shook his head, "No, it’s something else, but it might be related to the Old Lama."

"Is that so?"

Qin Changtian became slightly puzzled, but he was even more intrigued by what Ye Chenfeng wanted to ask.

"Go ahead, my young friend Ye!" Qin Changtian was eager to hear.

Ye Chenfeng began, "First question, how is Han Zhushang the mother of Yanran, that little girl?"

"What? You know that girl Han Zhushang?" Qin Changtian was first taken aback, then asked.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "I know her, hence the curiosity."

"Sigh..." Qin Changtian sighed, his face showing sadness, "The Han family girl was very close to Yanran’s biological parents, so after they both died, she volunteered to be Yanran’s mother. At the time, the Han family girl wasn’t that old either."

"Both parents deceased? I’m sorry, Old Qin!" Ye Chenfeng apologized.

No wonder he had never heard any news about Qin Yanran’s parents; it turned out they had both passed away.

But the Qin Family is one of the Eight Great Families, the fact that Qin Changtian’s son and daughter-in-law both deceased cannot be that simple?

Ye Chenfeng felt puzzled but was too reluctant to probe further, having already touched upon Qin Changtian’s painful past.

"It’s alright, just old matters. I suppose what you’re interested in is the identity of that Han family girl?" Qin Changtian suggested.

"Yes, exactly," Ye Chenfeng nodded.

"For the Han family girl to reach her status today, the Qin family indeed helped, but it was just a drop in the ocean. She mainly achieved it through her own capabilities, and on the other side, there’s the Han Family..." Qin Changtian explained.

"The Han Family?"

Hearing the term "Han Family" for the first time, Ye Chenfeng felt unfamiliar, as he was only familiar with the Eight Great Families of the Capital City; he indeed wasn’t aware of the Han Family.

But Han Zhushang being the richest in Capital City—surely the Han Family’s power at least matches the Eight Great Families, right? But it seemed there was no such presence as the Han Family in the Capital City.

"Old Qin, I’ve been in the Capital City for a long time, but I’ve never heard of the Han Family," Ye Chenfeng stated in confusion.

Qin Changtian pursed his lips, somewhat emotional as he said, "Speaking of the Han Family, it dates back some years, in that era... Forget it, my young friend Ye, matters about the Han family involve private affairs, I’m unable to elaborate here, please forgive me."

Ye Chenfeng shook his head, "No problem, Old Qin."

"By the way, young friend Ye, you seem to have another question?" Qin Changtian reminded.

Ye Chenfeng suddenly began to laugh, which left Qin Changtian inexplicably puzzled.

"What’s up, young friend Ye?" Qin Changtian asked in confusion.

After regaining his composure, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Old Qin, do you happen to know about the dark era of the Capital City?"
