Chapter 84

Just with this one thing, Ye Huang could believe that the Chu family's prestige in the military would rise even higher, and General Chu Qingkuang would very likely be promoted to the rank of admiral in the next round.

After all, the thing he brought was of strategic and epoch-making significance to the entire navy, and the Chu family, as the handlers, would naturally be favored by the central government.

It seemed that Chu Tiange was very clear about the future of his family, and he couldn't stop smiling all the way, his mouth stretched wide.

After about forty minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the Southwest Military District compound. Faced with the deep walls and numerous guard posts, Ye Huang was not particularly surprised.

As the chief of staff of the entire Southwest Military District, it would be strange if he were not well-protected.

Chu Tiange parked the car at the gate and handed his credentials to the guard. After a careful verification, the guard saluted Chu Tiange and let him in.

The entire process was meticulous, and there was no slack just because Chu Tiange was the son of a high-ranking official and a battalion commander.

"You guys are really thorough, even checking the son of the chief of staff so carefully," Ye Huang joked from the car.

"Hehe, it can't be helped. It's their duty. A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and they are just following the rules. I can't put on airs, can I?"

"Besides, this is for the safety of the chief's compound. A few years ago, a foreign agent infiltrated with a human skin mask, pretending to be someone from the military compound, almost getting away with it."

As he drove into the compound, Chu Tienge explained.

"Such things happen in our country too?" Ye Huang was taken aback when he heard this. He had heard of such incidents abroad and even assassinated military and political figures himself.

However, the domestic control in this area has always been very strict, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen here.

"Yes! That guy was pretending to be me, and the target was my father. If the guards hadn't noticed that the way he walked was different from ours, he might have gotten in. Even so, three guards were sacrificed..."

At this point, Chu Tiange's mood became much lower. In that incident, three guards were sacrificed after intercepting the suspect, who turned out to be much stronger than ordinary special forces.

After a few rounds, three guards were killed. If it weren't for the experts from the National Security Special Action Team who happened to be visiting my father to inquire about some matters, there would have been more casualties.

"Was it someone from the United States or the Sun Country?"

"Neither, it was from the North!" Chu Tiange shook his head.

"The North? Why would they target us?" Ye Huang raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. According to common understanding, the country to the north and China have always had good relations, so sending someone to assassinate a Chinese military official was quite shocking.

"Hehe, big brother, don't be surprised. There are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. The reason the North targeted my father is that he insisted on equipping the military with our domestically produced J-10. The Russians lost a lot of profit and wanted to remove this thorn in their side."

"By removing my father, the biggest obstacle would be gone, and the country would inevitably buy more of their aircraft and equipment. Their plan was well thought out, but fortunately, their plot was exposed."

After Chu Tiange explained, Ye Huang understood the whole situation.

In recent years, Russia has been constrained by its poor economic conditions and has been heavily dependent on arms trade. A sudden reduction in purchases from China would naturally cause dissatisfaction.

"According to what you said, the thing I brought this time will likely make the North even more nervous, don't you think?"

Ye Huang smiled.

This time, he brought electromagnetic catapult technology, which is completely different from the Russian ski-jump takeoff. If the Chinese military adopts electromagnetic catapults, it will mean that Russia will lose military aid funds, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction.

"Yes! Big brother, you're right. I'll tell my father to be more careful."

Chu Tiange hadn't thought of this before Ye Huang mentioned it, but now he had to take it seriously.

After the first bloody lesson, they absolutely cannot allow such an incident to happen again.

Parking the car in front of an old villa, Ye Huang and Chu Tiange got out and walked towards the building.

"Little Tian is back, and he brought a friend..." As they walked through the small courtyard in front of the villa, they saw an elderly man with a short stature, white hair, and a vigorous spirit standing at the door, as if waiting for them.

"Hehe, yes, Uncle Wei, have you just finished your exercise?" Chu Tiange greeted the old man respectfully.

"Um! I'm about to sleep, so I did some exercise to feel more comfortable. Are you looking for your father? He's upstairs, go on up."

"Alright! We'll go up first. It's late, so you should rest early."

"Go ahead..."

After greeting Chu Tiange and Ye Huang, the old man continued his exercise.

"Let's go, big brother, my father is upstairs." Chu Tiange said to Ye Huang, and the two walked into the house.

From the moment they saw the old man until they passed him, Ye Huang's eyes were fixed on him, his body tense as if facing a great enemy.

The seemingly gentle old man was undoubtedly a terrifying master. His every move was restrained, and the aura of a strong person emanated from his entire body, even though he was deliberately concealing it, Ye Huang still sensed it.

Especially his eyes, which seemed to be like vortices, with a hidden divine light, indicating that his internal strength had reached a supreme level.

"Young man, there's no need to be so nervous. To have such cultivation at your age is quite remarkable. However, I can see that you have internal blood stasis, which suggests you've been seriously injured. If you have time, you can let Little Tian bring you over. Although my skills are limited, I can help with internal injuries."

Just as the two were about to pass the old man, Uncle Wei, who was practicing, suddenly turned and smiled at Ye Huang.

Ye Huang, who was walking, suddenly stopped, turned around in surprise, and bowed.

"Senior, your cultivation is profound. I dare not show off in front of you. If you can heal my internal injuries, I will be eternally grateful!"

Ye Huang's internal injuries were from a battle at the Crescent Moon headquarters a year ago. Despite trying various methods, he couldn't fully heal them, which significantly reduced his strength.

Now, hearing that the old man could heal his internal injuries, Ye Huang was overjoyed, his excitement evident on his face.

"No need for formalities. I believe you are Little Tian's savior, right? You saved him in Malacca, so it's only right for me to help you heal your injuries."

"Besides, I heard you brought something very important this time. Just for your service to the country, I will help you heal your injuries."

"I won't keep you. Little Tian, your father has been waiting upstairs for a while. Go up first, and come back to see me later."

"Alright! I won't disturb your practice, Senior." With a hint of excitement, Ye Huang and Chu Tiange entered the house.

Inside, Ye Huang saw a middle-aged woman with a graceful demeanor sitting on the sofa. It wasn't hard to guess that she was Chu Tiange and Chu Qingyun's mother.

"Mom, this is Big Brother Ye Huang, my savior," Chu Tiange called out to his mother as they entered.

"Hehe, I've heard about you, Ye Huang, right? Come over and let Auntie take a look. Tian has always made friends with rough men, but you are quite refined. How old are you this year?"

"Auntie, I'm twenty-five this year." Ye Huang felt a bit uncomfortable when Chu Tiange's mother grabbed his sleeve.

Chu Tiange is in his twenties, but his mother looked like she was in her thirties, not showing her age at all, which made Ye Huang feel uncomfortable.

"Twenty-five, a bit old, but when Qingyun turns twenty in a couple of years, it will be fine."

"Mom... Why do you always bring this up? My sister is still young, why do you always try to marry her off whenever I bring someone home?"

Seeing his mother planning his sister's marriage again, Chu Tiange felt depressed.

His mother was great in every way, except for one thing: she was extremely dissatisfied with his sister's personality. The two of them didn't get along, making the mother not seem like a mother and the daughter not seem like a daughter, always at odds.

To maintain her position as the lady of the house, his mother had been trying to marry off his sister since last year.

"What are you talking about? I'm doing this for your sister. She's not young anymore and should get married. When I was her age, I was already engaged to your father."

"That's you, don't compare us to you. Alright, let's not talk about this. My father has something to discuss with us, we'll go upstairs first."

Chu Tiange could only be speechless about his mother, quickly saying a few words and pulling Ye Huang up to the second floor.

"Big brother, I'm really sorry, my mother is like a child."

"I understand, now I finally know why your sister is so rebellious!" Ye Huang nodded, breaking out in a cold sweat. With such a mother, it would be strange if she didn't raise a rebellious child.

After walking up to the second floor, Chu Tiange gently knocked on the door, and a deep, powerful male voice came from inside.

"Come in!"

Pushing the door open, Ye Huang saw Chu Qingkuang, the chief of staff of the Southwest Military District, bent over a desk looking at a map.
