Chapter 6: Ambushed!

"Ah, Feng'er, you're here! Come, sit down." In the room, Ye Zhenhua looked at Ye Feng, noticing a marked difference in his demeanor from before; his son seemed brimming with energy, which caught him by surprise. But he chose not to comment.

"Uh, Dad, what's up? Why did you call me here?" For Ye Feng, who was an orphan in his previous life, calling someone "Dad" felt a bit awkward.

"Feng'er, I wanted to discuss something with you." Ye Zhenhua, a giant in the political world, was usually resolute and authoritative, but now, before his son, he seemed slightly reserved.

"Whatever it is, just say the word. As long as it's not something like murder, arson, or hijacking, your son's got it covered," Ye Feng replied confidently.

Ye Zhenhua, stunned, stood up from his leather chair, reaching out to feel Ye Feng's forehead and then his own, wondering if his son was feverish. No fever… Did he take some kind of medicine, or is he out of money again?

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a black line form across his face. Is this how a real father talks about his son?

Shrugging his father's hand away, he spoke sincerely. "Dad, I've thought it over. I was too reckless before, and I caused you and Mom a lot of worry. I've decided to turn things around."

Ye Zhenhua's shoulders shook slightly. His son had grown up. He lifted his head slightly, blinking as though something had blown into his eye.

Ye Feng noticed and thought, But there's no wind… He shrugged it off.

"Feng'er, I've arranged for you to attend a top school in City BH. In a few days, you'll head over there. Away from us, remember to be on your best behavior," Ye Zhenhua said.

"Alright," Ye Feng responded nonchalantly. Schooling didn't concern him much now; the God-Level Academics he'd drawn had endowed him with nearly all the world's knowledge. He could probably step in as principal at the top universities here without a hitch.

What Ye Feng really wanted was to enjoy the pleasures of high school life. As for where he studied, he didn't care. In fact, he felt relieved at the thought of studying away from Tianjing; dealing with his old circle of troublesome friends wasn't appealing.

After giving Ye Feng a few more instructions, Ye Zhenhua let him go. Ye Feng planned to use the allowance his father had given him to boost all his attributes to 100.

With a sigh, Ye Zhenhua watched his son leave. If only his reputation here hadn't been so notorious… What parent would want their child to leave their side? But, thankfully, there was hope for him now.

Two days later, Ye Feng, lightly packed, boarded the train to BH City.

Sitting in his seat, he watched the passing scenery blur by, thinking to himself, It feels like a dream. Just days ago, I was in the schoolyard chasing after Li Shiyun. Now, I'm in another world, living as a wealthy young master. Big Brother Yan really hooked me up.

The Ye family, one of the four great families in Tianjing, was led by the esteemed patriarch Ye Yunlong, one of the few founding members of the country. Although retired, his influence in politics and the military was formidable.

Ye Feng's father, Ye Zhenhua, held a prominent political position and was poised to ascend further within five years.

His second uncle, Ye Jiye, commanded a military district, wielding considerable power.

And his third uncle, Ye Wen, also in politics, served as Secretary of Haicheng, one of the five cities directly governed by the central government, making him a force in his own right.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng's mother, Qin Yun, the eldest daughter of the Qin family—another of Tianjing's four great families—was a major figure in commerce and finance. Controlling a third of Huaguo's economy, her reach spanned various industries.

The union of Ye Feng's parents had virtually merged the Ye and Qin families, making them the most powerful family in Tianjing.

Ye Feng, as the only son of the current Ye family head, had been pampered since birth. Yet, the indulgence had turned him into a notorious playboy, famed for his antics in Tianjing's elite circles.

All this he'd gleaned from the original Ye Feng's memories. He never imagined he'd be reborn into such a powerful and wealthy family.

Bored, Ye Feng glanced around the train cabin, curiously taking in his surroundings. If it weren't for his designer outfit, the other passengers might have mistaken him for a country bumpkin.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he froze. Could it really be? Someone in this world looks so similar to her…

A girl, dressed simply yet elegantly, caught his eye. He knew it wasn't cheap streetwear but a custom piece by a renowned international designer. Ye Feng had spent nearly a month in the Ye family before setting off for BH City, and he had researched these elite circles thoroughly—especially clothing.

What stunned him, however, wasn't the brand but the girl's face. She looked nearly identical to Li Shiyun, the girl who had rejected him in his previous life, except this girl was even more breathtaking.

Perhaps fate is giving me another chance, he thought, feeling a surge of determination. No matter who you are, I, Ye Feng, will make you my girlfriend.

The girl, Lin Shiyun, sensed his gaze and glanced back with a hint of curiosity. She'd noticed him the moment he looked at her, feeling a trace of disdain. His eyes had that same look she'd seen in countless other pursuers.

But the next moment, her disdain faded. After that initial glance, his gaze softened into one of pure admiration, or so it seemed.

"Don't move! This is a robbery! Hand over all valuables, and no one gets hurt!" A middle-aged man in a black hood, holding a weapon, stood on a passenger's back and shouted.

Ye Feng looked over. Seriously? What's wrong with the train security? Did they mistake that for a toy and let it through?

He held back, not wanting to make a scene. With his current skills, if he couldn't handle these thugs, he'd be unworthy of the rewards the God-Level Lottery System had granted him.

Money was the one thing Ye Feng didn't lack. His father had given him a card with one hundred million in it as his pocket money.

The man's accomplices, brandishing knives, moved among the passengers, holding up a large sack.

"Hurry up! Hand over anything valuable, or you'll regret it!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes fell on Lin Shiyun. He leered, saying, "Such a pretty face. Come over here, sweetheart. Entertain me, and I might just let you go."

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. Beautiful women do attract trouble. Looks like it's time for a little action. Let's see what I'm capable of now.

In the Ye household, he had already raised all his attributes to 100.

"Hey, kid, why are you just sitting there? Hand over your valuables!" One of the thugs, wielding a knife, noticed Ye Feng's distraction and kicked him.
