Chapter 2341: Chapter 145: He Is a Dangerous Man
“Big brother!”
There weren’t many customers in the shop at the moment.
Feng Yize’s shout of “big brother” was filled with joy and loud.
He seemed to disregard what Momo had just said, left her behind and walked a few steps to stand in front of Ye Zhan.
His peach blossom eyes squinted with a smile, “Big brother, why are you here? Are you here to handle a case?”
Ye Zhan was still wearing his military uniform.
Paired with his noble, ethereal demeanor, he instantly attracted the few female customers in the shop.
The military uniform itself is sacred, and most young women have a mysterious admiration and fondness for it.
Especially, Ye Zhan, in addition to his upright military attire, had a face that could turn all heads and a model-like physique.
In the eyes of the opposite sex, he was a walking aphrodisiac.
“Hmm, just passing by.”
Ye Zhan’s brows were calm, his tone indifferent.
Even Feng Yize suspected if he really was just passing by.
And not here because of his call.
He turned to look at Momo standing a few steps away, smiling, “Big brother, Miss Momo is also here, rest assured, I didn’t charge her any money.”
“Is that so?”
Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow.
His gaze passed over him, looking at Momo a few steps away.
She stood there quietly, elegant and serene, slender and graceful.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a tall man walking towards Momo.
Ye Zhan’s eyebrows moved slightly.
This was the man Feng Yize mentioned, trying to seduce Momo.
“Junior sister, let’s go.”
Huo Song paid the bill and came back to call Momo.
Momo gave a slight smile, softly saying “Hmm.”
Huo Song wore a pleasant smile, seemingly unaware of Ye Zhan and Feng Yize a few steps away.
He slightly turned his face, walking towards the door, watching Momo and talking to her.
“Big brother, why don’t you say hello to Miss Momo.” Feng Yize, seeing Ye Zhan standing there unmoved, urged him.
Ye Zhan ignored him.
His gaze was deep, watching as Momo approached.
Feng Yize instinctively stepped aside.
The air in the shop quietly took on a subtle quality.
Indescribable and ineffable.
Momo’s gaze met Ye Zhan’s, she raised a smile and cheerfully greeted him, “What a coincidence, are you here to handle a case?”
She had heard Feng Yize’s earlier question to him.
The shop was too quiet, and Feng Yize’s voice wasn’t low.
Moreover, Ye Zhan’s military attire instinctively made her think he was here on official business.
Since this was Feng Yize’s shop, or perhaps, just like the restaurant they dined at that day, it was co-owned by them.
So, he came to check on it.
“Hello, Young Master Zhan.”
Huo Song greeted Ye Zhan with a smile after Momo.
He knew Ye Zhan.
But Ye Zhan didn’t know him.
Ye Zhan raised an eyebrow.
His aloof gaze tinged with a hint of cold disdain.
He was never friendly or warm to strangers.
Huo Song immediately introduced himself, “My name is Huo Song, I’ve long heard of Young Master Zhan’s great name.”
This time, Huo Song extended his hand.
Smiling, looking at Ye Zhan.
Ye Zhan looked towards Momo.
Momo blinked, not understanding why Ye Zhan was looking at her, but thinking that Huo Song was with her.
Ye Zhan didn’t know him.
So she smiled and introduced, “This is my senior by three years, I’m here in the capital at his invitation.”
Huo Song knew Ye Zhan, there was no need for her to introduce him.
After Momo finished the introduction, Ye Zhan courteously extended his hand to shake Huo Song’s hand, “Hello.”
Huo Song had worked in the capital for four years.
For the Four Young Masters of the Capital, he had heard of them.
But his knowledge of Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen was scant.
He only heard that Ye Zhan, the leader of the Four Young Masters, was solitary and aloof, while the second young master Tang Jinchen was courageous and righteous.
The third young master Chu Junming was a gentleman, and the fourth young master Feng Yize was suave and charming.
Upon meeting Ye Zhan today, he indeed matched the rumors.
Ye Zhan withdrew his hand, diverting his gaze from Huo Song and looking at Momo with a hint of warmth in his eyes, unlike the coldness earlier when looking at Huo Song.
“Has Mo Ziye called you?”
He asked.
Momo was taken aback by his question.
“No, is there something wrong?”
She looked at Ye Zhan and quickly asked, “Have you found any clues?”
Huo Song timely interjected, “I heard Young Master Zhan is in charge of the Qin Family’s case?”
“Hmm!”
Ye Zhan replied with a single word.
His eyes remained on Ye Zhan, not looking at Huo Song beside him, warmly explaining, “It’s not about the case progress, in the afternoon I received a call from home, my grandfather invited you to dinner at our place tonight.”
“…”
Momo’s clear eyes widened in astonishment.
Huo Song’s expression also turned surprised.
Old Master Ye had invited Momo for dinner.
No, he invited Momo and Mo Ziye for dinner.
Ye Zhan observed Momo’s astonishment, his face remained unchanged, his words nonchalant, “After what happened last night, with only Qingqing being in the capital, my grandfather is worried.”
This was an explanation for Old Master Ye’s dinner invitation.
Momo looked at the handsome and upright man in front of her, listening to his low, gentle voice explaining the reason.
But she couldn’t quite believe it.
She recalled what Ye Zhan said in the morning, “If you’re willing to help, I can have some peace and quiet.”
Thinking of this, she politely declined, “Ziye and Qingqing can go, I have an appointment tonight, so I won’t be going.”
“Who are you meeting tonight?”
Ye Zhan, being so shrewd, surely knew Momo was making an excuse.
The warmth in his eyes faded slightly.
Perhaps because the sun was setting, the shop’s temperature seemed to drop along with it.
Momo had no obligation to answer Ye Zhan, she agreed to help him in the morning but didn’t want to get too involved.
Firstly, getting too involved with Ye Zhan would make her the enemy of those women who admired him, just like now, the other women in the shop were eyeing Ye Zhan.
Secondly, previously this man had feelings for Qingqing, she didn’t know what kind of feelings he had for Qingqing back then, but for that reason, she didn’t want to get too close to him.
Momo, though never having been in a relationship, sensed that Ye Zhan was a dangerous man.
This man was too attractive, especially to girls.
“I have some work matters to discuss with my junior sister tonight, Young Master Zhan, I’ll escort my junior sister home first.”
Huo Song, without waiting for Momo to speak, intervened to help her out.
Momo smiled and nodded, “Yes, I have some work matters to discuss with my senior.”
Ye Zhan finally glanced at Huo Song again.
His gaze only skimmed over his face before returning to Momo.
A moment later, he spoke, his tone cooler, “It’s been a little unsettled around here lately, remember to have Mo Ziye assign bodyguards to follow you.”
With that, he left a sentence for Feng Yize, “I have something else to do, you come to my house later, bring Junming, have dinner at my place tonight.” Turning, his cold and proud figure disappeared instantly at the dessert shop’s entrance.
