Morning.
Wei Xueqing and Chen Siyan were packing their things.
Yang Chen ca by early to wake them up, saying they were heading back to Ningchuan.
Wei Xueqing was still unsure of what was happening.
Weren’t they going to look for Ye Xin?
And what about the mission?
Why the sudden return to Ningchuan?
Wei Xueqing found it hard to understand.
After they finished packing, Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing pulled their luggage out and Jianfeng ca over to help with their bags, saying, "Let’s eat first, the boss is waiting for you inside!"
"Oh! Okay!"
They agreed and went to the dining room.
"Brother!" Chen Siyan called out when she saw Yang Chen.
Chen Siyan sat in front of Yang Chen and asked, "Brother, why are we going back to Ningchuan so soon?"
Yang Chen glanced at Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing and said plainly, "Elder Zhuo and the dean want to return, so we’re going together."
"Oh, right! It makes sense, we’ve been here for so long, we should head back." Chen Siyan nodded obediently when she heard it was Elder Zhuo and the dean wanting to return.
But Wei Xueqing wasn’t so easily convinced.
She sat down and scrutinized Yang Chen with a discerning look.
Yang Chen ignored her and continued eating without a care.
Yang Chen ate quickly, a habit ford in the Guard, to finish the battle in the shortest ti.
Wei Xueqing frowned and expressed concern, "Eat slower, it’s not like you’re in the Guard here."
Yang Chen took the last bite, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said plainly, "Got used to it in the Guard. I’m done, you two hurry up, Elder Zhuo’s convoy should be arriving shortly."
With that, Yang Chen moved to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Wei Xueqing called out to Yang Chen.
"What?" Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing, his tone indifferent.
Seeing Yang Chen’s cold expression, Wei Xueqing frowned and said, "Why are you always so distant with ?"
"Distant? I don’t think so!" Yang Chen replied plainly.
"How can you not think so!" Wei Xueqing stood up angrily, staring at Yang Chen, "Do you think talking to is a waste now?"
Yang Chen frowned at Wei Xueqing, then said deeply, "Wei Xueqing, first of all, let tell you! I’m not distant with you, this is just how I am. Also, I don’t have the ti to care about how you’re feeling now. I am who I am, and if you’re uncomfortable, fine! You don’t have to look at !"
"You! Yang Chen, do you realize you’re being a real jerk now!" Wei Xueqing’s face was flushed with anger.
"Oh really? How unfortunate you are just realizing my true colors now!" Yang Chen responded coldly.
Chen Siyan quickly pulled the furious Wei Xueqing back, whispering, "Sister Xueqing, my sister-in-law isn’t here now, my brother must be in a bad mood, don’t mind him!"
Wei Xueqing took several deep breaths and managed to suppress her anger.
Yang Chen gave Wei Xueqing a faint glance and left.
Watching Yang Chen leave without saying a word, Wei Xueqing sat down angrily, losing all appetite for the food in front of her.
Chen Siyan’s eyes darted around, first observing Wei Xueqing’s angry deanor, then thinking about Yang Chen’s direction.
Soon, everyone gathered, preparing to depart.
Before leaving, Master Ye called Yang Chen aside.
"Master Ye." Yang Chen looked at Master Ye and spoke.
Master Ye looked at Yang Chen seriously and said deeply, "Xiaoyang, I told you before, that your marriage with Xinxin was actually arranged by eighteen years ago. I guess you really want to ask about your own origins and why I regretted it, stopping you two from being together. This ti, I’ve thought through many things. If we only strive for the family’s strength but lose the familial bonds, what aning does this kind of family have?"
Yang Chen quietly watched Master Ye.
"So, in this search for Xinxin, our Ye family will fully support you, and I will spare no cost to save Xinxin! Even if I have to sacrifice all the Ye family’s foundations and accumulation!" Master Ye placed his hand on Yang Chen’s shoulder and said solemnly, "Once you’ve brought Ye Xin back, I’ll tell you everything, including your origins and what happened back then."
Yang Chen looked deeply at Master Ye and spoke firmly, "You have my word! I will bring Ye Xin back to you intact, and if anyone dares to harm her, I’ll wipe out their entire clan!"
As he spoke, a fierce gleam flashed in Yang Chen’s eyes.
...
Thus, the group left Jin Chen, heading toward Ningchuan.
...
On the artificial sea.
The old chief was tidying up to go out.
Zhou Qinghe approached, softly saying to the old chief, "Old chief, Yang Chen and his group have left Jin Chen."
"Oh!" The old chief signaled towards the mirror, seemingly satisfied.
Zhou Qinghe said, "But those people are still in Jin Chen."
"Hmm!" The old chief nodded and headed out.
The cars outside were already waiting; he was going to attend a very important eting today.
Zhou Qinghe quickly followed, asked, "Shouldn’t we prepare sothing?"
"Oh! You prepare everything we promised him before, make sure it’s top-notch, the latest, anything that can be exposed, bring it all over for him." The old chief instructed.
"But... Old chief, we..." Zhou Qinghe frowned.
The old chief interrupted him, speaking firmly, "Do as required!"
Zhou Qinghe sighed and nodded, "Yes!"
The old chief got into the car and slowly left.
Zhou Qinghe shook his head, turned to walk to his car to arrange the old chief’s instructions.
...
Afternoon.
Yang Chen and the group arrived in Ningchuan.
The convoy first returned to the safeguard area, sending Elder Zhuo ho, and everyone took a break.
Yang Chen and Jianfeng stepped outside.
"Where’s Gao Hong?" Jianfeng looked around at the familiar surroundings and asked.
Yang Chen chuckled, "Up ahead, not far from here I think."
Gao Hong is currently an instructor in the Guard, and at this ti, he should be training.
Jianfeng looked at the familiar architectural style and unique environntal vibe around and said to Yang Chen, "Ti flies, almost ten years passed in a blink!"
"Yes indeed!" Yang Chen looked around fondly, feeling much emotion as he had served in the Guard for almost ten years.
"Back when I first joined the Guard, a re rookie, who would’ve thought I’d make it this far?" Jianfeng shook his head.
Yang Chen chuckled, saying to Jianfeng, "Every road was forged by us, no matter how far we’ve co, we made it through our own hard work, and we deserve it."
"Yes!" Jianfeng nodded, agreeing with Yang Chen.
At this mont, a group in front was running, shouting slogans.
Among them, one voice was particularly clear, "Hustle up! Didn’t you eat? You’re all as slow as won! Keep in line! Keep in line! Running like this, you think you can join the parade? I don’t even want to bring you out for morning exercises! What a disgrace!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen and Jianfeng exchanged a smile and walked over.
