Chapter 11

"Rest assured, Brother Lei, this matter will not be let go. We have already started an investigation!" said the short, stout man sitting beside him, somewhat angrily.

"I think this might be related to the Ye family..." said another man, a thin one with gold-rimmed glasses, pushing up his spectacles.

"Ye family? You can't be telling me about that useless Ye Tianchen, right?" the short, stout man said with a hint of mockery.

Hearing the mocking tone of the short, stout man, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses did not continue speaking. Instead, he glanced at Luo Lei, who was Luo Tao's elder brother and the eldest son of the Luo family. Luo Lei had joined the Falcon Special Forces, making him even more arrogant than Luo Tao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have targeted Ye Tianchen, who had no significant grudge against him, by bribing the editor of the largest gossip newspaper in the capital to publish damaging stories about Ye Tianchen.

The reason the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said this was that he also knew that the content published in the gossip newspaper was all fabricated by Luo Lei to deal with his rival, Ye Tianchen. In other words, if Ye Tianchen could return alive, it was likely due to his own strength. If that were true, it would be very suspicious.

"Ye Tianchen? The Ye family has already declined. That useless man who disgraced his family can be crushed by a single finger of mine!" Luo Lei said with a cold smile.

In fact, Luo Lei was also a bit nervous. Could it really be that the useless Ye Tianchen had injured his younger brother? This guy used to be a spoiled brat who brought great shame to his family, making the Ye family lose face in the capital. Even if he later had a change of heart and joined the military, he would never dare to take action against the Luo family. Even in a one-on-one fight, a strong soldier like Luo Lei, who had joined the Falcon Special Forces, could easily deal with him. Would he really dare to take action?

"There's a piece of news, I'm not sure if I should tell you or not!" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses hesitated.

"Glasses, what the hell, just say it. Your father is the chief of the Capital Public Security Bureau, are you afraid of getting into trouble?" the short, stout man said, a bit annoyed.

"Go ahead, Glasses. Say what you have to say. The Ye family is nothing," Luo Lei said with a cold laugh.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was much more steady compared to the short, stout man and Luo Lei. Although he was also arrogant, he knew that the waters in the capital were deep, and it was best not to offend people unnecessarily, at least not openly. After all, everyone knew the saying, "The mountain may not move, but the water will."

However, despite his caution, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was still quite arrogant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become good friends with Luo Lei. As they knew, the Ye family had already declined, and with the notorious Ye Tianchen, who brought great shame to the family, many people looked down on the Ye family and didn't take them seriously.

"The news I heard is that after the ambush, only Ye Tianchen and Han Jie were left out of the seven special forces soldiers. Ye Tianchen suddenly burst with powerful combat strength, killed all the bandits, and successfully completed the mission, carrying Han Jie back..." the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said with a tone of surprise.

Luo Lei and the short, stout man frowned when they heard this. They had not heard this news before. The father of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was the chief of the Capital Public Security Bureau, a very significant position in this place full of hidden dragons and tigers. As part of the military and police, he could still hear some rumors.

After Ye Tianchen left the military, it was publicly announced that he had been discharged, which would bring some negative effects, as Lang Lang had already told Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen didn't care, and his file was classified as a top-secret national document. However, some rumors still leaked out, as there were still people who knew the truth.

"Ha, Glasses, you're really flattering that guy. If he really had such abilities, I'd sit on his head!" the short, stout man said mockingly.

"Impossible. Even if he became a special forces soldier, he couldn't have such combat strength. To kill all the experts of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, even our top instructors in the Falcon Special Forces would find it difficult. This guy is at most a deserter!" Luo Lei said disdainfully.

The door slowly opened, and Ye Tianchen, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked into the private room where Luo Lei, the short, stout man, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses were. He then slowly closed the door, locked it, and sat down on the sofa, smoking and pouring himself a drink.

Luo Lei, the short, stout man, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses were all taken aback by the sudden appearance of this man. They didn't know who he was or what he wanted, but from his actions, he couldn't be one of them.

"Who are you?" Luo Lei stood up, clenching his fists tightly.

"I'm the deserter you were talking about..." Ye Tianchen said with a playful smile.

"You... You're Ye Tianchen?" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, looking surprised.

The short, stout man, however, was not surprised at all. His family, though not a major clan in the capital, still had some influence. In his view, the long-declined Ye family would not dare to cause trouble, and he didn't believe that the former wastrel Ye Tianchen could be that powerful. So he walked up to Ye Tianchen, deliberately using a contemptuous look and mocking tone: "How did it feel to kneel in front of the Liu family all day? How did it feel to be dumped by the Qi family? Or how about selling out your comrades, kneeling to beg for your life, and living happily ever after?"

Bang, bang, bang!

Luo Lei and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses didn't see Ye Tianchen's movements clearly. They only saw the short, stout man hit by three beer bottles, bleeding and falling to the ground, screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and convulsing uncontrollably. They didn't know how badly he was beaten.

"Does it feel good to have beer bottles hit your head? How does it feel to be hit by three beer bottles in a row? Or do you feel happy now?" Ye Tianchen said with a playful smile.

This scene shocked Luo Lei and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses. The man in front of them, Ye Tianchen, was far beyond their expectations. He was so calm and composed, beating the short, stout man to near death. The short, stout man's father was the president of the Capital Propaganda Committee, with strong connections, but this did not give Ye Tianchen any reason not to beat him up. His mouth was too dirty, and he deserved it.

Luo Lei stood up, though he was also surprised. In his eyes, Ye Tianchen and the Ye family were nothing. The Luo family now had the upper hand over the Ye family, and Luo Lei had the upper hand over Ye Tianchen. That was his belief.

"I only have one question: Was it you who beat up my brother?" Luo Lei asked, pointing at Ye Tianchen with his right index finger.

"He couldn't take a hit. I hope you can take it better."

"Hmph, I admire your courage for coming here to die. I can crush you with one foot..." Luo Lei said, laughing in anger.

"Why so much talk? Are you two going to fight together or one by one?" Ye Tianchen took the cigarette out of his mouth, blew a smoke ring, and asked.

Hearing Ye Tianchen's words, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses took two steps back. In terms of skills, he was definitely not as good as Luo Lei. Moreover, he could feel the calm and dominant aura from Ye Tianchen. The three beer bottles that beat the short, stout man to near death, regardless of his identity and the consequences, showed a calmness that couldn't be faked. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was like a king on a high throne, not taking Luo Lei seriously at all.

"I can kill you here, and no one will dare to do anything to me!" Luo Lei said viciously.

"Then why don't you make a move? Just talking? By the way, I heard you're a member of the Falcon Special Forces. Show me your skills. If you hit me once, I'll forgive you for framing me. How about that?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Looking for death!"

Luo Lei looked at the man with the gold-rimmed glasses with disdain. This guy always stood aside when something happened, a coward who never took the lead. In Luo Lei's view, Ye Tianchen coming here to show off was purely looking for death. One punch from him could knock Ye Tianchen to the ground.

With a swift punch, Luo Lei aimed at Ye Tianchen's face.

Bang!

Unfortunately, just as Luo Lei's fist was about to hit, Ye Tianchen kicked him away, and he fell heavily onto the glass coffee table, shattering it. The once arrogant and contemptuous Luo Lei was now on the ground, holding his abdomen and screaming in pain.

Ye Tianchen had come to deal with Luo Lei. This guy was too bad, using underhanded tactics behind the scenes. He needed to be taught a lesson. If someone challenged Ye Tianchen openly and fairly, he might even admire them. In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen had killed many such despicable people. Even in this life, his principles would not change. He only recognized reason, not people.

"You..." Blood trickled from the corner of Luo Lei's mouth as he looked at Ye Tianchen in pain, unable to believe that a member of the Falcon Special Forces could be defeated by Ye Tianchen with one kick.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was so scared that he almost collapsed. He couldn't imagine that Ye Tianchen, once a laughingstock in the capital and a disgrace to his family, could become so powerful, striking fast, accurately, and ruthlessly, leaving Luo Lei in a mess.

"It seems you're as weak as your brother. Are all the Luo family members so weak? Do they only know how to use underhanded tactics?" Ye Tianchen said calmly, looking at Luo Lei.
