66. The Four Brothers (Part One) (To Be Released Soon—Please Bookmark and Recommend)

"I know what you're thinking, but do you really believe you can keep me here? You only know you can't afford to offend Bai Weiqi, but do you even know who I am?" Ye Feng sneered.

His words struck Captain Wang like lightning. Although he didn't recognize these people, he had seen most of the city’s notorious young heirs; who could say these weren’t among them? Anyone who dared call Bai Weiqi by name must be a prodigal with a family background equal to Bai's. Captain Wang was left uncertain, not knowing how to proceed.

The other officers nearby were already impatient, muttering to themselves, "Kids like this, just cuff him and take him away..."

At that moment, Bai Weiqi, who hadn't gone far, heard Ye Feng's words and swaggered back. "Captain Wang, he's lying to you. He only has some ties with the Luo family, just a bastard. With my father around, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing Bai Weiqi's remark, Captain Wang felt reassured. He thought to himself: the Bai family is certainly among the city's elite. With their backing, what is there to fear? Without hesitation, he moved to handcuff Ye Feng.

But just as he made his move, his phone rang. Captain Wang wondered who could be calling at this hour. He answered, and the voice of the bureau chief thundered down the line, "Are you at Hive KTV right now?"

"Yes, Chief. I'm handling a case," Captain Wang replied quietly.

"Did you arrest a university student named Ye Feng?" The chief’s voice was loud and furious.

"I'm about to bring them in, Chief. Don’t worry, I’ll have them at the station soon." Captain Wang assumed Bai Weiqi had called his father, who then pressured the chief.

"Don’t drag me into your death wish! Release Young Master Ye immediately!" The chief roared and hung up.

Captain Wang was utterly stunned. He never expected the bureau chief’s call to be about releasing Ye Feng.

The two officers behind him, having heard the chief's words, paused, their faces showing a mix of shock and suspicion as they looked at Ye Feng with newfound respect. They had seen plenty of privileged youths, but never one who could stand up to Bai Weiqi and walk away unscathed. Ye Feng’s status must be truly extraordinary.

Ye Feng asked coldly, "Can we leave now?"

Captain Wang finally recovered, his face filled with apology. "I'm sorry, I was just doing my duty… You may go."

Ye Feng ignored him, and as he glanced at Amy’s classmates, still excited nearby, he said, "These people are all students from Haifeng City. Arrange for them properly… and try to keep this incident confidential, don’t report it to their school."

Hearing Ye Feng’s request, Captain Wang looked at Amy in Ye Feng's arms, seeming to understand, and quickly nodded, "Of course, please rest assured, I’ll handle everything. You can trust me, Young Master Ye..."

Ye Feng nodded and carried Amy downstairs, followed by his three companions. The trio were all full of amazement; Ye Feng's actions that night were truly astonishing. If they hadn’t known him so well, they’d have thought he was heir to some great family.

Behind them, Bai Weiqi’s frustrated shouts echoed, but they no longer mattered. Bai Weiqi had suffered a major setback tonight.

Late at night, the emergency department of Haifeng University Affiliated Hospital was still bustling. Low groans of pain came from every ward, yet in one quiet corner, a single room was silent.

The spacious ward held only one patient. Suspended from the ceiling, a bottle slowly dripped medicine through a transparent tube into a small, pale hand.

Amy lay quietly on soft, white sheets. Her face, which had been pale, was gradually regaining color thanks to the treatment. Originally, Ye Feng had wanted to take Amy home, but realizing time was short, he brought her to the hospital.

Seeing Amy’s complexion improve as she slept peacefully, Ye Feng finally felt a weight lift from his shoulders. Watching her serene, beautiful face, he sighed softly, only now realizing how nervous he was about Amy.

Ye Feng had always thought of Amy as just a close friend, but after that night, with Amy’s distant attitude, he sensed his feelings for her were more than mere friendship. It wasn’t until tonight, when Bad Bad reminded him Amy was in trouble, that Ye Feng understood how important she was to him.

He shook his head, pushing these thoughts aside, and left the room.

Outside, his three friends sat on a bench in the corridor. Ye Feng walked over and sat across from them.

Sensing they had something to say, Ye Feng asked straightforwardly, "Is there something you want to ask?"

"Who are you, really?" Wu Tian was not one to beat around the bush.

"I'm still me, Ye Feng, an orphan," he replied naturally.

"Little brother, do you really think an orphan could get us all out of tonight’s mess unharmed?" Qin Qiong retorted. Ye Feng sensed no hidden meaning, just curiosity.

"Since you’re asking, I’ll tell you directly. The current director of the provincial office, Xu Wen, rose to power because of me. As for how, that's not important," Ye Feng spoke lightly, as if elevating a provincial director was as simple as using the restroom.

"What!" The three were stunned. Ye Feng spoke casually, as if it were nothing, but he had no family background to speak of. Yet he could secure such a high position with apparent ease.

After Ye Feng spoke, the room grew cold. The eldest and second eldest felt awkward, surprised by Ye Feng’s frankness.

The third, seeing the mood freeze, quickly smoothed things over, "We've been friends for half a year, haven't we? How about we become sworn brothers? Our bond is strong enough."

Ye Feng agreed with the suggestion, though he didn’t speak first.

After a few moments of silence, Qin Qiong said, "I’m in."

With someone leading, Ye Feng responded, "Alright."

Wu Tian hesitated briefly, looked at Ye Feng, then Qin Qiong, and nodded, "I have no objections."

"Since we all agree, let's make it official. We become sworn brothers—not pledging to die on the same day, but to share honor and shame, shoulder to shoulder, and create a bright future together." Huang Luan bit his finger and let a few drops of blood fall into each of four wine cups. "Let’s not skip tradition, a blood oath."

Following Huang Luan, Ye Feng bit his finger and dripped blood into his own cup. Then Qin Qiong, and finally Wu Tian.

The four cups held their blood, sealed their bond.
