Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 115

Chapter 115

Ye Chen sorted out everything at the company in the next few days and went on a vacation with his daughter .

 He still remembered the time when he had just returned to earth, and Ou Lan told him that his daughter’s dream was to go painting at a field . She thought she could see the stars at a close distance .

 The little girl heard that the people who disappeared from earth would turn into stars in the sky . She would be able to see her father if she looked at the stars at a close distance .

 Although Ye Chen had returned now, he thought he should fulfill her dream since it was the little girl’s school holiday now .

 Considering that his parents would be worried if they went too far, Ye Chen could only go to the Wumeng Grassland, which was known to be a sloppy grassland in Qiannan .

 This place was known to be 2,000 meters above sea-level . One could see a rumbling sea of clouds and faint buddha’s light there .

 The father and daughter headed out in casual clothes . They would drop by when they reached a city on the train . It was a chance to let the little girl learn the cultures of each city .

 The little girl carried the drawing board that was even taller than her . She would carefully draw everything that she found interesting .

 The sky had turned dark when the father and daughter arrived at Pan City . They decided to spend the night there .

 The little girl kept urging Ye Chen to bring her out after hearing that there were many famous foods in Pan City .

 As they were walking by a vermicelli stall on the flyover, the little girl pulled the corner of Ye Chen’s shirt and said with anticipation on her face, “Daddy, I want to eat that . ”

 The little girl was drooling as she talked . She took a stance as if she would stay if Ye Chen said no .

 Ye Chen could only unwillingly bring her to sit down . He ordered two bowls of vermicelli .

 The stall owner was an old man with a bandana on his head . He looked kind and said while chuckling, “Little brother, do you two like coriander?”

 Stalls such as this cared about the customers’ preference . Some people disliked ginger, while some disliked coriander . Some liked a heavy taste, while some liked spicy . Therefore, he would always ask for the customer’s preference .

 Ye Chen nodded and said, “We eat everything . ”

 “Grandpa, I’d like a herbal egg . No, please make it two herbal eggs . Remove the shells for me,” The little girl showed two fingers and said with her small voice .

 “Sure, I’ll do that for you right away . ” The stall owner returned to the stall and began cooking while smiling .

 Ye Chen felt helpless . Since the silly girl consumed the medicinal pills, she had a great digestive system . Not only that, but Mengmeng also had a big appetite . She was already hungry despite just having eaten two hours ago .

 Just when he was thinking to himself, he saw a young lady walking over while holding an old man .

 The old man looked 50 years of age and seemed rather determined in his traditional attire . Meanwhile, the lady was in green cheongsam that showed the curves of her body .

 “Zixuan, let’s eat some vermicelli here . ” The old man directly took a seat at the table next to Ye Chen while looking at the lady in a begging manner .

 “Grandpa, let’s go to some other place . ”

 The lady named Zixuan frowned and looked at the small stall in disgust . “Let’s go to Mr . Li’s place . What if something happened to your body after eating here . ”

 “Lady, although this is just a small stall, I’ve been running this business for five years . I can guarantee that I use the best ingredients and it’s clean . ”

 The stall owner cooking vermicelli was rather upset . “I’ll take responsibility if something happens . ”

 “Can you?”

 Zixuan scoffed hearing that . The old man waved when she was about to speak further . “Alright, grandpa has decided to eat here . I’ve been eating vegetables and all sorts of herbs back at the nursing home . I’m so sick of them . Can’t you just let me eat whatever I want for once?”

 Zixuan hesitated and lifted her head to say to the owner . “One bowl of vermicelli, no chili . ”

 “Coming!”

 The owner responded and served the two bowls of vermicelli that he made on Ye Chen’s table . He said with a smile, “There are vinegar and soy sauce on the table, add as you wish . ”

 “Thank you, grandpa . ”

 The little girl courteously thanked him . She then used a pair of chopsticks to pick up the herbal egg, and she began eating it .

 “Eat slowly, don’t burn your mouth . Nobody is taking your food away . ” Ye Chen reminded her with concern .

 At the same time, Zixuan who took her seat saw Ye Chen and his daughter sitting across her . She secretly shook her head after seeing little Mengmeng eating clumsily .

 ‘Why is she eating so clumsily?

 ‘Is she the reincarnation of a hungry ghost?’

 She then took a good look at Ye Chen . Realizing how he dressed, Zixuan instinctively assumed that the father and daughter were poor . She looked away after shaking her head .

 Soon, the old man’s vermicelli was served .

 “It’s delicious . ” The old man had a reminiscing look on his face as he ate . “It’s been over 30 years since I’ve tasted something like this . ”

 A person of his position was sick of expensive food . He would rather eat the home-cooked food that he was familiar with .

 Zixuan could not help but roll her eyes .

 ‘It’s just a bowl of vermicelli, can you not exaggerate?’

 Seeing that the little girl was done with an herbal egg, Ye Chen gabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth . He suddenly lifted his head to look far into the night as he felt something .

 Bang!

 A rock of the size of a fist was flying over with a whistling noise . To be precise, it was flying in the direction of the granddaughter and old man who was eating the bowl of vermicelli .

 The old man sensed it too . His expression changed and he got up to grab it . Although he managed to grab it, he retreated many steps back .

 Zixuan’s pretty face changed . “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”

 The old man said nothing while he seriously looked far into the night . Very soon, three men in black martial arts attire were walking over with a grim expression .

 The three of them looked exactly the same, they were triplets .

 The stall owner instantly welcomed them and said with a smile, “Are you guys here for my vermicelli?”

 The leading middle-aged man kicked the owner away . It crushed many tables . The other customers got up and ran away from the scare . They did not even bother to pay .

 The old man said with his deep voice, “Who are you guys?”

 “Xiang Minglou, it’s been over 30 years since we last met . Don’t you recognize us three brothers?” The leading man coldly grinned .

 The old man took in a deep breath . “Are you guys the Lingnan Evil Trio?”

 “Grandpa, what’s the Lingnan Evil Trio?” Zixuan’s pretty face slightly changed and she whispered .

 The old man stuttered a little . “They’re the ancient martial artists who moved around Lingnan . They have rather powerful abilities and gathered a bunch of hooligans to challenge the local government . ”

 The second brother among the three said as he smiled in rage . “Xiang Minglou, you got your army to surround my father 30 years ago . When that failed, you held my mother hostage to lure my father out .

 “Eventually, my father was killed by gunshots while my mother has been a widow ever since . Oh, fate sure is funny . I can’t believe that we bumped into you here . ”

 “Your father took over the mountain and did evil things including murder . He definitely deserves it . ”

 The old man was enraged and spoke further . “It was your mother who willingly went into the mountain to speak to your father . However, your father wanted to escape by taking me hostage . Who can he blame when my officer shot him?”

 There were many robberies going on in Lingnan 30 years ago . The biggest robber was a man named Chen Bao . At that time, Xiang Minglou led a battalion to capture his gang . Chen Bao caused severe casualties to them by seizing the advantage of the mountain region .

 During the critical moment, the battalion chief promoted psychological offense and they used the robbers’ family members below the mountain to talk to them . Chen Bao was one of them . He attempted to run away by taking Xiang Minglou his hostage but was eventually killed in gunfire .

 “We must avenge our father . Since us three brothers bumped into you, leave your life here for us . ”

 The eldest Chen brother licked his lips with killing intent on his face . He charged with his palm as soon as he was done speaking . He ran towards Xiang Minglou with his compelling stance .

 “Scoot, Zixuan!”

 Xiang Minglou pushed his granddaughter away and immediately took the eldest Chen brother’s attack . The eldest Chen brother retreated two steps back after the exchange .

 The two brothers who stood behind him noticed that their brother was at a loss and attacked Xiang Minglou from left and right .

 Xiang Minglou was thrown out a couple meters away and spat a mouthful of blood .

 “Grandpa, are you alright?” Zixuan immediately ran to him and helped him up . Her pretty face was filled with concern .

 Xiang Minglou stood up straight and looked at the three Chen brothers . His eyes were filled with shock . “I can’t believe that you guys have broken through to Internal Energy . ”

 He had an Internal Energy cultivation base too . He could definitely fight a fair match if he were to fight any of them alone . However, he would be helpless if he had to fight all three of them at once .

 His heart sank at that moment . His granddaughter might die with him here today .

 Zixuan instinctively blocked before Xiang Minglou and said with rage, “Kill me, but let my grandpa go . ”

 Although she said that, she was secretly looking around . She was thinking if there was any way for them to escape .

 She eventually noticed that the father and daughter sitting on the next table were indulging in the vermicelli . They seemed to not have seen the current deadly situation .

 Meanwhile, the rest of the people had run away from the very start .

 Zixuan secretly frowned .

 ‘What an idiot . You’re not running at such a time and still have the mood to eat?”

 Xiang Minglou noticed the father and daughter too . He forced a smile and subsequently looked at the three Chen brothers . “I surrender to you today . Your father’s death is only related to me . As long as you’re willing to let my granddaughter and this father and daughter pair go, you can do whatever you want to me . ”

 The three Chen brothers scoffed . When they were going to reject his suggestion, Ye Chen blurrily said after eating a mouthful of vermicelli . “You guys go ahead with your fight, don’t mind us . ”
