Upon hearing what Jianfeng said, Night Fire fell into silence.
Everyone else also bowed their heads.
Not only Jianfeng, but all their lives were given by Yang Chen.
On the battlefield, Yang Chen had saved them more than once.
Without Yang Chen, they wouldn’t know how many tis they would’ve died by now.
Every ti they saw Yang Chen’s back full of scars while taking a shower, they couldn’t help but bla themselves.
After a long while, Night Fire said solemnly, "Don’t act recklessly, we’re not just living for Yang Chen. Be rational, we have a country and people behind us; we must protect them!"
"That’s why!" Jianfeng stared at Night Fire and said, "I don’t share your lofty ideals. I’m only asking to leave Dragon Tooth to protect Yang Chen, while you continue to protect our country and our people, to defend our territory!"
Night Fire shook his head, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, "Stop acting recklessly. I’m the acting captain now, follow my command. If you have complaints or issues, we’ll discuss it when we return to the Guard after everything ends. Now is not the ti for this!"
Jianfeng snorted angrily and sat carelessly on the sofa.
Night Fire glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "I think you all basically understand what we’re supposed to do now. Our leader is going to rescue our sister-in-law in a very dangerous place. It’s precisely because of this that our leader doesn’t want to involve us and face all this alone. But he’s our leader, now and always! This ti, we’ll be severely punished, maybe even demoted, but we must do it! I declare, the rescue operation begins now!"
Everyone imdiately stood at attention, waiting for Night Fire’s orders.
Night Fire turned around to look at Ye Kai and said solemnly, "Now, please tell us Yang Chen’s location!"
Ye Kai nodded and said to Night Fire, "Before that, let say sothing my grandfather wanted to tell you."
Night Fire nodded, still respecting Master Ye deeply.
Ye Kai said, "My grandfather said, don’t feel like you’re fighting alone; the Ye family stands behind you. If you need anything, no matter how much firepower, the Ye family will support you! My grandfather also wants you to understand, Ye Xin is his favorite granddaughter, and Yang Chen is his favorite grandson-in-law. For both of them, he’s willing to sacrifice everything! Moreover, he said he’s willing to gamble his old bones for them both!"
Hearing this, Night Fire felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
He understood the aning behind Master Ye’s words.
In other words, to rescue Ye Xin and Yang Chen, Master Ye is willing to use the entire strength of the Ye family, even if the Ye family suffers because of it!
At the sa ti, Night Fire also realized that the enemy’s power is indeed formidable, enough for Master Ye to say such words.
Thinking it over, Night Fire slowly nodded, "I understand."
Ye Kai smiled, took out a satellite map from his pocket, and handed it to Night Fire, "Brother Chen is probably at Nietai Mountain now; the specific location has been marked for you, and also..."
Ye Kai took out an envelope sealed with a wax stamp, "These are so intelligence we’ve gathered; read it on your way."
Night Fire received the envelope, nodded, turned to everyone, and said, "Move out!"
"Yes!"
The mbers of Dragon Tooth shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
It was likely that both floors could hear the shout.
A group of people imdiately turned around and headed outside.
Outside, there were a total of five vehicles prepared, four jeeps, and one cargo truck.
The truck was loaded with various equipnt, and the jeeps were for carrying people.
Probably for concealnt reasons, Night Fire decided to use only three cars, one jeep to lead the way, and two cargo trucks, one for cargo, and one for people.
In the lead jeep sat Night Fire, Jianfeng, Li Muyang, and Gao Hong.
Li Muyang had to be involved because he’s the ssenger between the Dragon Tooth Squad and the Ye family; being a mber of the Li family, he represented their stance and wielded substantial power, which made things easier.
In the cargo truck behind, everyone sat in the compartnt, as if they were back during their early days in the camp.
"To be honest, it’s been a long ti since we rode in a vehicle like this, hasn’t it?" Hu Zian said to everyone.
"Yeah!" Bai Lei sighed, "Ever since we retired from the Guard, it’s rare to even see such vehicles."
The mbers of Dragon Tooth looked at them and said nothing.
Because they understood the reasons why Hu Zian and the others left the Guard back then, it wasn’t a matter of right or wrong, just an unavoidable choice at the ti.
Guan Xiaoke looked at Mastiff and asked, "Mastiff, which squad are you guys in now? Still Wolf Fang?"
Mastiff hesitated for a mont and shook his head, "It’s not Wolf Fang anymore; Wolf Fang’s gone. We’re serving in another squad, but we handle similar special tasks as in Wolf Fang."
"Is it Dragon Tooth? I heard you guys ntion sothing about Dragon Tooth just now," Hu Zian asked.
Mastiff frowned and said solemnly, "Sorry, that’s top-secret. We can’t tell you, and you shouldn’t ask. We won’t say anything either; it’s better for you this way. The specifics, I’m sure you understand; we hope you can comprehend."
The six people showed a mont of gloom and all nodded.
They knew very well that having left Wolf Fang, they also lost their privileges; now, they’re not qualified to know such things.
"By the way!" Guan Xiaoke asked, "You said the leader retired, why? Why retire so abruptly? What happened?"
Hearing this question, the mbers of the Dragon Tooth Squad exchanged a glance and then all lowered their heads.
Noticing the odd atmosphere, Hu Zian quickly said, "Never mind, we’ll talk about it when there’s a chance in the future, when the leader returns he’ll tell us."
"Let speak!" Mastiff broke the silence, saying solemnly, "The leader didn’t retire, but... during a secret mission, to protect us, he sacrificed himself!"
"Sacrificed?" The six of Hu Zian’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Mastiff.
If Yang Chen had sacrificed himself, then who was the person they saw?
Mastiff explained, "At the ti, we were fighting the enemy. They had many people, and all were elite international teams. After a protracted battle, we were out of ammunition and reinforcents. We were constantly suppressed. Finally, the leader decided to stay and fight them, buying us a chance to escape. We left all our ammunition with the leader... When we returned with reinforcents, the leader... was nowhere to be found. From the enemy’s reports, it was said that the leader was shot and fell into the river, never to be seen again. We searched for a long ti but failed to find the leader’s body and confird his death..."
The six of Hu Zian furrowed their brows tightly.
"What happened then? Isn’t the leader fine now?"
Mastiff sighed, "We didn’t know much earlier than you. It was just a month ago that we confird the leader was not dead, and only then did we make contact with him. But the leader firmly insists on not returning to the squad anymore..."
