69: Chapter 69 [The Man Like the Death God] 69: Chapter 69 [The Man Like the Death God] The conversation between the Qin family’s senior, Qin Yi, and the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Yang Yi, seed to have barely touched upon any critical issues.
They rely ntioned them briefly before ending the conversation.
At their level of existence, it is no longer a matter of holding back three points in their speech, but rather five.
Saying half of what one ans was sufficient; everyone is smart enough to understand the delicate balance of interests involved.
Only the clueless father and son duo, Qin Taoyuan and Qin Heng, would act as if they were the number one under heaven.
Those who truly hold power are always very low-key and greet people with a smile.
In the end, Qin Yi only said to Yang Yi, “If it was your n who took the murderer away, I hope that you can hand him over to for disposal.
Such a thug, not executed by shooting, where is the law, where is the order?
As for the Ye family, I will give them a call.”
Yang Yi just nodded with a faint smile, not picking up the conversation.
That line needed no response and was difficult to address.
Regardless of what had happened, Yang Yi was now certain that it must have been Cang Lang who took Ye Tianchen away, and it was to complete the mission of escorting personnel to the U.S.
for an exchange of classified docunts.
Moreover, from Qin Yi’s statent, one could deduce many things: he hoped that Yang Yi would not intervene, not provide protection for Ye Tianchen, or else Qin Yi would not let it go easily.
Furthermore, it was clear that the Qin family did not take the Ye family seriously at all; apprehending Ye Tianchen, even killing Ye Tianchen, would only require a phone call.
Watching Qin Yi leave his office, Yang Yi frowned slightly, pondered for a mont, and then called Cang Lang.
It wasn’t that Yang Yi feared Qin Yi; at their level, there was no such thing as fear between them.
It was just that many matters required a backup plan.
At this ti, Cang Lang had just left the seafood restaurant after settling the bill, his face ashen with anger.
Ye Tianchen had spent thousands on seafood just by himself and, before leaving, had even insisted on taking lobsters ho.
It was enough to give anyone the urge to beat him up.
Tie Hamr was driving, and Cang Lang sat in the back seat, now sowhat uncertain.
He had chosen Ye Tianchen for this mission, and without the constraints of being a soldier, Ye Tianchen’s words and actions were casual.
It was precisely because of this that even if he caused a ruckus in the U.S., the U.S.
governnt would not be able to criticize the Chinese governnt.
Otherwise, Cang Lang would not have agreed to Ye Tianchen’s three conditions and promised to shield him from retaliation from the Luo family and the Qin family during this period.
He was just unsure if it was all worth it.
“Cang General, I’m worried about Ye Tianchen.
He’s so unreliable; what if he can’t complete the mission?” Tie Hamr expressed his concerns.
“No, I trust my judgnt.
Over the years, every soldier I’ve taken a liking to has beco a noteworthy figure.
Although Ye Tianchen has a flippant personality, he is indeed the best candidate to complete this mission,” said Cang Lang with a smile.
“I’m just worried he’s too fickle, takes the advantage but doesn’t get the job done.
If he fails this mission, you’ll have to step down from your military post as you’ve promised Vice Chairman Yang…” Tie Hamr said anxiously.
Indeed, since seeing Ye Tianchen at Beifeng Pavilion, his performance along the way had been incredibly unreliable: casual, frivolous, nothing like soone who would be sent to the U.S.
for a mission.
Tie Hamr had been working under Cang Lang for so ti now.
Their relationship was superior and subordinate, but in private, they were like brothers.
He knew the significance of this mission to escort personnel to the U.S.
for an exchange of classified docunts.
If Ye Tianchen, indeed, took the money and did not perform the task or was killed in the U.S.
and failed to complete the mission, Cang Lang would certainly be punished as well.
“Tie Hamr, you only know that Ye Tianchen is incredibly strong, with unfathomable depth, but you don’t understand this man who is like the Grim Reaper and a wild card.
When he gets serious, no one can stop him…”
As Cang Lang spoke, a glint flashed in his eyes and even the blood in his veins seed to boil.
As one of the three War Kings of China and a mber of the Military Commission, Cang Lang rarely had the opportunity to act personally anymore as engaging in duels was sowhat beneath his status.
But, as a war general, he too craved intense, wild battles.
When Ye Tianchen proposed to fight him if he returned successfully from the mission, Cang Lang truly felt the fighter’s blood within him ignite.
He sensed Ye Tianchen’s inscrutable combat capabilities and wanted to asure just how strong the young man really was.
“I just fear he’s not reliable.
If sothing goes awry with his judgnt, that would be bad.
Moreover, when he gets to the airport tomorrow morning and sees the person he is supposed to protect, he will probably refuse to comply imdiately…” Tie Hamr was worried about the person Ye Tianchen was assigned to protect, believing that if it were him, he definitely wouldn’t agree to do it either.
Thus, sending Ye Tianchen on a mission to the U.S.
was a significant risk for Cang Lang.
“I am confident about this.
Ye Tianchen is a man of his word.
He just promised that he would complete the mission no matter what,” Cang Lang thought of how he had tricked Ye Tianchen into swearing and felt that he had finally played a joke on the young man.
“Should we send soone to follow Ye Tianchen, just in case…” Tie Hamr suggested after so thought.
“No need, Yan Long will send two trusted people to accompany Ye Tianchen to the U.S., and our side won’t send anyone,” Cang Lang shook his head.
“Yan Long?
The Falcon Unit is also getting involved?”
Tie Hamr hadn’t expected that not only was their Sky Dragon Team responsible for escorting personnel to the U.S.
for the exchange of classified docunts, but the Falcon Unit was also involved.
It seed that the matter was indeed very significant.
“That’s just a strategy of compromise from higher up, it has nothing to do with us.
As long as Ye Tianchen can complete the task, then I’ve done my part for Vice Chairman Yang,” said Cang Lang.
Just at that mont, Cang Lang’s cell phone ringtone, “The Soldier’s Life,” which had always been his ringtone, began to play.
As a soldier who had served for decades, he had developed deep ties with the military that he couldn’t let go of.
If Cang Lang were to take off his uniform, he might feel utterly lost.
“Boss, do you have any orders?” Cang Lang pressed the call button and respectfully asked.
“Did you take Ye Tianchen from Beifeng Pavilion?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the situation?
Tell about it,” Yang Yi asked evenly.
“Ye Tianchen beat up Qin Heng at Beifeng Pavilion, leaving him unrecognizable.
Lu Shengda and his n surrounded Beifeng Pavilion, and Qin Taoyuan also arrived.
I took Ye Tianchen away; we’re heading to the U.S.
tomorrow.
We can’t let the kid get caught,” Cang Lang reported.
“Qin Yi ca to personally, saying that he wants you to hand over Ye Tianchen.
I haven’t taken a stance, but with Qin Yi’s personality, he definitely won’t let it go easily.”
“Boss, it’s not our place to get involved in the feud between Ye Tianchen and the Qin family, but since we’re heading to the U.S.
tomorrow, we must ensure Ye Tianchen’s safety during this period.
He can settle his score with the Qin family when he completes his mission and returns,” Cang Lang suggested.
“Hmm, I haven’t taken a stance.
Let’s leave it at that for now.”
“Yes, boss.”
After hanging up, Cang Lang took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag, lost in his own thoughts.
Although he trusted Ye Tianchen to keep his word, he didn’t know how strong Ye Tianchen really was.
According to intelligence gathered over the years, the U.S.
Superpower Special Agent Team had many strong mbers.
Additionally, this ti there was reliable information that the U.S.
governnt had secretly hired a powerful rcenary Group, aiming for a double-cross to swallow up the confidential data from China.
Many people might wonder why, knowing that the other side had secretly sent so many experts prepared for a double-cross, China didn’t secretly send its own experts to follow along, or why they had to exchange confidential data with the U.S.
in the first place.
About this issue, Cang Lang had been part of the Military Committee’s highest level eting, which had gone through a day-long intense discussion.
This confidential data exchange was imperative; getting it would greatly enhance China’s military power.
Moreover, if China sent a large number of experts along, it would be seen as a sign of fear and could make the U.S.
counterparts wary or even refuse to trade.
Therefore, after comprehensive discussions, it was decided to send a lone expert who didn’t represent the military to complete the mission, and Cang Lang naturally thought of Ye Tianchen first.
Monts later, inside a black stretched sedan, Qin Yi and his son Qin Taoyuan sat in the back seat, escorted by two special forces security teams, guaranteeing absolute safety.
“Dad, why did you stop earlier?
Cang Lang is under Yang Yi, if he took Ye Tianchen away, how could Yang Yi not know?
This guy is shirking responsibility…” Qin Taoyuan complained indignantly.
Qin Yi glanced at his son Qin Taoyuan, sighed, shook his head, and said, “Taoyuan, you’re too impulsive.
Let’s not talk about whether this matter involves Yang Yi, and even if it does, what can we do to him?”
“Dad, nobody dares to bully the Qin family; we’re the ones who bully others.
Are we really going to let this slide?” Qin Taoyuan said, unwilling to let go.
To say that Qin Taoyuan lacked sense and calm would be wrong.
Over the years, as the Qin family’s power grew, no one had dared to challenge their authority.
This had made the Qin progeny increasingly bold.
Moreover, Qin Heng had been beaten until unrecognizable, and even if he survived, he wouldn’t be able to show his face in public.
With Qin Heng being Qin Taoyuan’s only son, it was inevitable that he felt heartbroken and furious.
“As for Yang Yi, I believe he understood what I said and won’t interfere.
This re Ye Tianchen from the Ye family dared to attack my grandson, does he really think I, Qin Yi, am old and feeble?
I want to see how Ye Yuanshan will explain this to .
I won’t be as easy to send away as Luo Songcheng,” Qin Yi said with a hint of anger.
“Dad, so what do we do now?” Qin Taoyuan asked.
“We go to the Ye family’s old mansion.
I want Ye Yuanshan to break the legs of his grandson, Ye Tianchen the thug, in public as a punishnt!” Qin Yi said coldly.

If only rewards would turn red, would any brother gift five or ten thousand starting points coins?
Wouldn’t that be thrilling…
Is there any?]
