Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 117: 117: A Faint Suspicion

Ye Fei and Ye Yu, each with their own thoughts, soon arrived at Ye Yu's base of operations, the "Dynasty Club." This place had originally been established by the Ye family to attract and entertain celebrities from Wanghai.

However, since Ye Yu gradually took over some of the family business, it became his private playground, closed off to the public and reserved for him and his friends to indulge in daily parties.

Looking at the lavishly decorated building, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. The Dynasty Club, once a prestigious venue where the elite of Wanghai felt honored to hold a membership, had now become the city's largest breeding ground for corruption. Behind its luxurious facade, countless sins were hidden.

Some people even joked that if every member of the club were executed, the moral atmosphere of Wanghai would improve dramatically.

It was a simple remark, but it reflected the deep-seated disdain the people of Wanghai had for this place. If not for the Ye family's previously sterling reputation and vast influence, the Dynasty Club would have long been demolished by the angry citizens.

Yet, what puzzled Ye Fei was why his second uncle consistently turned a blind eye to Ye Yu, who had so tarnished the family's name. Even if he didn't know about Ye Yu's sinister ambitions, it was hard to believe he would tolerate such reckless behavior.

Though Ye Fei belonged to the Ye family, this was his first time visiting the club. Upon entering, the first thing he noticed was the antique-style decor—rosewood tables and chairs, famous calligraphy and paintings adorning the walls, and the faint scent of sandalwood lingering in the air. It gave the place a sense of serenity, a sharp contrast to the noise that soon broke the peaceful atmosphere.

A rowdy group of young men were gathered around a large table in the middle of the hall, shouting and laughing. It wasn't clear what game they were playing, but the noise they made was certainly out of place in such an elegant setting.

Ye Fei recognized most of the people present. Ye Yu had introduced them during the Autumn Group cocktail party not long ago. They were a disreputable bunch, men with bad habits and even worse morals. It was clear they lacked any real class or respect for their surroundings, evidenced by how they were turning this once sophisticated space into a chaotic mess.

As soon as Ye Fei and Ye Yu entered the hall, one of the men spotted them and shouted, "Brother Yu! Brother Ye Fei! Finally, you're here. We've been waiting for you guys!"

"What are you all playing?" Ye Yu asked with a smile, surveying the scene. "It looks like some kind of competition. I hope there's no gambling involved."

Ye Yu smirked, his satisfaction growing as he saw how eager Ye Fei appeared. He patted Ye Fei on the shoulder and headed upstairs.

Once Ye Yu was out of sight, Ye Fei turned to the group of young men. "Mind if I join in on the fun?"

"Of course not!" they all exclaimed. One of them quickly fetched a box filled with ants and set it down in front of Ye Fei. "Pick whichever one you like, Brother Ye Fei. By the way, what's Brother Yu arranging for you? He's been so secretive."

Looking down at the box full of ants, Ye Fei frowned slightly before plucking one out and placing it into an empty glass tube. "Oh, nothing special," he replied casually. "Brother Yu probably just wants to give me a warm welcome since it's my first time here. Maybe he's got something special planned."

Though he played the role of a carefree dandy, Ye Fei didn't want to reveal anything about what Ye Yu was actually planning. As the true heir to the Ye family, it was important to protect the family's reputation, no matter what.

Fortunately, the young men didn't seem to care much. As long as there was food to eat and games to play, they didn't bother with the details. To them, life was simple—just eat, drink, and have fun. They were, in Ye Fei's mind, the true parasites of society.

The game they played was straightforward: each person placed an ant in a glass tube, and if the ant tried to turn around, they would prod it with a stick to keep it moving forward. After getting the hang of the rules, Ye Fei pretended to be fully engrossed in the game.

Meanwhile, Ye Yu had gone upstairs. After checking to make sure no one was around, he quietly entered a private room. He had come upstairs to check on the woman he had tricked into coming here, a beauty he had meticulously manipulated for his own pleasure.

He had kept his plan secret from everyone, even his closest companions, because his father despised those who indulged in lustful behavior. While Ye Yu could get away with many things, th

is was something he couldn't afford to let his father find out.
