Luo Songcheng, the head of the Luo family, after deep consideration, decided to investigate Ye Tianchen first. Various signs indicated that this man, who had become the laughingstock of all of Kyoto, might have been playing a trick on everyone, and he could be the smartest one.
Daring to hit two of the Luo family's grandsons, completely disregarding their status and background, especially beating up Luo Lei, the eldest grandson of the Luo family who had joined the Falcon Corps, who had no means to fight back, was itself very suspicious. Moreover, Luo Songcheng learned that one of the three great combat kings of China, Canglang, had personally handled Ye Tianchen's discharge from the military and classified his records as top-secret. This made him even more puzzled.
Ye Tianchen, once a wastrel who brought great disgrace to his family, had suddenly become a man who was hard to fathom, giving people a chill down their spines. Was he suddenly bursting with potential, or had he been enduring all along, only now revealing his true talent?
If there was anything about Ye Tianchen that people envied, it was that he had peeked at Liu Rumai, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, while she was bathing. This was something many men in Kyoto dared to think about but not to do, and this young man had done it, seen it, and appreciated it.
"Father, I'll go and take care of it!" The second son of the Luo family, Luo Qi, said.
"Go ahead, remember my words. Before we have thoroughly investigated Ye Tianchen, especially before we obtain his top-secret records, we must not act rashly," Luo Songcheng said after a moment of thought.
"Understood!"
Watching his second son Luo Qi leave the villa's hall, Luo Songcheng sat on the sofa, lit a cigar, and took a few deep puffs. He always had a bad feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. The people who could have their personal records classified as top-secret and stored in the National Security Bureau could be counted on one hand, and Ye Tianchen was one of them.
Ye Tianchen's brutal beating of Luo Lei and Luo Tao not only shook the Luo family but also left many families in Kyoto puzzled and the news spread like wildfire. Anyone with some influence knew that the Luo family was a prominent family in Kyoto. Especially with the upcoming election of the Central Military Commission, where Luo Songcheng was likely to join, the Luo family's status would rise even higher. At this time, almost no one dared to provoke the Luo family.
If someone had beaten two of the Luo family's grandsons, it wouldn't have caused such a stir in both the black and white worlds of Kyoto, because there were many unknown powerful people in the world. However, the person who beat Luo Lei and Luo Tao was Ye Tianchen, which was hard to believe. Everyone knew that Ye Tianchen was a good-for-nothing, a useless wastrel, so how could he suddenly become so sharp? This was truly incomprehensible.
In the Zhongnanhai of Kyoto, a building was still lit. Two soldiers in neat military uniforms, standing like spears, were motionless. In front of them stood a man in his thirties, about 1.73 meters tall, exuding a powerful aura, especially with his sharp eyes.
This man was the captain of the Falcon Corps, Yanlong, one of the three great combat kings of China, on par with Canglang. Many people speculated whether Canglang or Yanlong was stronger, but they had never fought each other, and both were hailed as one of the three great combat kings of China, so it was unknown who was stronger.
Standing in front of Yanlong were two first-class instructors of the Falcon Corps, Jiang Meng and Feiyun. Every member of the Falcon Corps was carefully selected and rigorously tested, and each one could be called a combat king. This was the strongest single-soldier unit in China, directly responsible to the highest leadership. Just being able to enter this unit was an honor, let alone becoming an instructor for these combat kings, whose combat power was extraordinary.
"Luo Lei was beaten, and it's said that he had no means to fight back. I don't know if you've heard about this," Yanlong looked at Jiang Meng and Feiyun and asked.
"Captain Yan, we've heard about it. It's rumored that it was done by Ye Tianchen from the Ye family," Jiang Meng hesitated and then said.
"Who is Ye Tianchen? Do we have his records?"
Yanlong, the captain of the Falcon Corps, was a hard man who hated evil and injustice. His life was all about missions and training, both his team and himself, to improve his strength. So he hadn't heard about Ye Tianchen.
Feiyun nodded, stepped forward, and read from the file in his hand: "Ye Tianchen, 20 years old, son of Ye Hong from the Ye family in Kyoto. He was known for his lack of discipline, only interested in fighting and chasing girls, and was widely recognized as a wastrel and a good-for-nothing. Later, he peeked at Liu Rumai, the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, while she was bathing, which offended the Liu family and brought great crisis and disgrace to the Ye family. After that, he changed, joined the military, and became a special forces soldier. During a mission in the Black Fog Forest, he was ambushed, and five special forces soldiers were killed. Only Ye Tianchen and another female soldier named Han Jie survived. After his discharge, his records were personally reviewed by General Canglang and classified as a top-secret document, stored in the National Security Bureau. After returning to Kyoto, he was first dumped by the Qi family, then falsely accused by Luo Lei of the Luo family, and later retaliated against Luo Lei at the Heavenly World."
It must be said that the Falcon Corps, as the strongest single-soldier unit in China, directly responsible to the top leader, was incredibly powerful. With just a few phone calls, they obtained all of Ye Tianchen's records, except for the part from his military service to his discharge, which they couldn't get, but everything else was under control.
"A wastrel, a good-for-nothing, even if he became a special forces soldier, he absolutely couldn't be a match for Luo Lei. What do you think about this?" Yanlong frowned and asked.
"Captain Yan, there's something I'm not sure if I should say," Jiang Meng looked at Yanlong and said.
"Say it!"
"Outside, there have always been people saying that Luo Lei was able to join our Falcon Corps because of his grandfather, Luo Songcheng. If that's the case, Luo Lei's combat ability is far inferior to the members of the Falcon Corps, so it's not surprising that he was defeated."
"Regarding Luo Lei, I've already discussed it with the higher-ups. He is not a formal member of the Falcon Corps; he just bypassed the initial tests and joined the final training. I've seen his scores, and they are indeed some distance from the requirements for selecting members of the Falcon Corps. However, his skills are not that bad, and he is definitely not someone an ordinary special forces soldier can handle. So, the fact that Luo Lei was beaten without any means to fight back is definitely suspicious," Yanlong said.
Actually, the reason Yanlong, the captain of the Falcon Corps, personally intervened in this matter was that, no matter what, Luo Lei was a trainee of the Falcon Corps and had the potential to become a formal member. If it were known that a member of the Falcon Corps was easily defeated and couldn't even fight back, it would be a disgrace for Yanlong, one of the three great combat kings of China.
"Captain Yan, I heard that Luo Songcheng of the Luo family actually suppressed this matter and forbade the Luo family from acting rashly," Feiyun looked at Yanlong and said.
"Hmm? Luo Songcheng is usually very strong and extremely protective. This time, his two grandsons were beaten half to death, and he can swallow this humiliation? That's very strange!" Yanlong was also puzzled.
"Yes, Ye Tianchen is the laughingstock of all of Kyoto, and his sudden change is very strange," Jiang Meng also frowned and said.
Yanlong thought for a moment. The reason he was involved in this matter was to restore the honor of the Falcon Corps. Since the establishment of the Falcon Corps and his becoming the captain, such an incident had never happened. Now that it had, he had to restore the honor of the Falcon Corps.
"By the way, did Canglang also get involved in this matter?" Yanlong asked.
"Yes, General Canglang personally classified Ye Tianchen's records as top-secret and had them stored in the National Security Bureau," Feiyun said.
"Hmph, he also got involved. It seems that this Ye Tianchen is not as simple as he appears, definitely not the wastrel that people see. Perhaps he has been hiding deeply. Investigate him," Yanlong said coldly.
"Yes!" Jiang Meng and Feiyun stood straight and answered together.
"Go. In any case, we cannot afford to lose face. At the appropriate time, teach this Ye Tianchen a lesson so that people don't look down on us in the Falcon Corps."
Watching Jiang Meng and Feiyun leave the room, Yanlong thought for a moment, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number. After about three rings, the other side answered.
"Hello, who is it?"
"It's me, Yanlong, Canglang."
"It's you. What's up?" Canglang asked calmly when he heard it was Yanlong.
"Nothing much, just want to know about a special forces soldier who was discharged from your unit."
"Who?"
"Ye Tianchen."
"Sorry, Ye Tianchen's records have been classified as top-secret. If you want to know, you can apply through the proper channels. I have to go, bye!"
Before Yanlong could say anything, Canglang hung up, making Yanlong frown in anger. He and Canglang were not very close, but they were not strangers either. Both were hailed as one of the three great combat kings of China, and they were both tough men who wanted to determine who was stronger. However, in their positions, it was not easy to fight, and they needed a solid reason to do so.
"Canglang, one day I will defeat you, just wait and see." Yanlong hung up the phone and muttered to himself.
