Chapter 56

The reason why Canglang chose Ye Tianchen, vouched for him to Vice Chairman Yang Yi, and had Ye Tianchen take on this mission, was not without cause. There were two conditions, and only Ye Tianchen met them perfectly.

1. Ye Tianchen was once a special forces soldier, but he has now retired and is just a citizen of China. His every action does not represent the will of the state.

2. Ye Tianchen's skills are formidable, almost unfathomable, and he is a guy with a violent tendency. He doesn't provoke trouble, but he is absolutely not afraid of it. Whoever provokes him, even if it's the son of the emperor, will have to take a beating.

Sometimes, Canglang really envied this kid, Ye Tianchen. He could curse and fight whenever he wanted, never initiating trouble, but if someone provoked him, he wouldn't back down and would give them a good beating.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have such freedom. Every word and action represents the image of the country, and they absolutely wouldn't dare to act recklessly. This time, the mission required a facade of harmony, but behind the scenes, there would be competition, and even bloodshed.

In fact, no matter when, the competition between countries never stops. Don't be fooled by the surface, where the president of one country and the president of another country seem to get along well, smiling and talking pleasantly.

The reality is that the special agents of the two countries are in conflict, with many casualties on both sides. The special forces of the two countries are fighting at the border, with countless deaths. These are the realities that ordinary people don't know about. At any moment, there are people sacrificing their lives for the honor of the country.

Especially in recent years, as China has become increasingly powerful, some hegemonic countries in the world have become uneasy, not daring to act openly against China, but secretly sending many experts to infiltrate, disrupt the country's stability, and gather the most confidential information to grasp China's true dynamics. This requires capable and passionate Chinese experts to engage in life-and-death battles to protect the country.

Every year, countless Chinese sons sacrifice their lives to protect the country. No one knows their names, and they don't even have a tombstone. Only in the most confidential archives of China is there a record, but they remain unrepentant, embodying the spirit and national righteousness of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

"Boss, among the current Chinese, the most suitable person to complete this mission is Ye Tianchen. Since you've entrusted this task to me, I can only take a gamble and bet on him." Canglang looked at Yang Yi and nodded seriously.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. If you encounter any difficulties, let me know. I must say this upfront: this mission must succeed. If it fails, you will no longer be a soldier." Yang Yi looked at Canglang seriously.

Canglang was shocked. As someone who had entered the Central Military Commission, being a soldier was his lifelong pride and his life's work. If he were no longer a soldier, he couldn't imagine what kind of life that would be; it would be worse than death. He didn't expect this mission to be so important, otherwise, Vice Chairman Yang Yi wouldn't have personally intervened and spoken so clearly.

"I understand, boss. I will swear to complete the mission." Canglang saluted.

Leaving Yang Yi's office, Canglang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't even know what the mission was, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so severe. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Ye Tianchen, you better not let me down. If the mission fails, I'll be in deep trouble. I'm vouching for you with my military career.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen, still dining at the Ye family's old residence, had no idea that Canglang would soon find him and issue an order on behalf of the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission. Whether he would accept the mission, Ye Tianchen didn't know. Reborn from the apocalypse, in the post-apocalyptic world, only the strong are respected, and strength is everything. Titles like "chairman" are secondary. So, whether Ye Tianchen would accept the order from Vice Chairman Yang Yi was uncertain.

In the main hall of the Ye family's old residence, it was usually Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo who accompanied their father, Ye Yuan Shan, for dinner. But today was different. They stood to the side, looking awkward and embarrassed, only able to watch as Ye Hong's family dined with their father.

"Father, try this roasted meat; it should be quite good." Ye Hong, a filial son, served his father, Ye Yuan Shan.

Ye Yuan Shan nodded, looking at Ye Tianchen, who was only focused on eating. This guy's dining etiquette was far from elegant. As soon as he sat down, he started wolfing down the food, pulling several dishes to his side and eating non-stop, drinking red wine, and getting his mouth greasy. Ye Yuan Shan couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

In the capital, whether it was a large or small family, as long as they had some status, they had certain family rules. There were rules for where to sit and how to eat, which was a sign of a high-ranking family. No one would eat like Ye Tianchen, who had no manners, leaving everyone speechless.

"Ye Tianchen, do you have any manners at all?" Ye Hong, seeing his father smile at Ye Tianchen, thought his father might be angry and quickly scolded Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen looked up at his father, Ye Hong, not understanding what was wrong. He was enjoying the meal and wasn't pretending. He really thought the food at the Ye family's old residence was good. Seeing his father give him a look, he understood a little.

"Grandpa, try this crab meat; it's delicious..." Ye Tianchen casually handed a plate of stir-fried crab meat to Ye Yuan Shan.

"You brat..."

"Brother..."

Ye Hong, Luo Yan, and Ye Qianwen were all surprised that Ye Tianchen spoke so casually to Grandpa Ye Yuan Shan. Even though they were family, Ye Yuan Shan was the patriarch and the pillar of the family. No one dared to speak to the old man so casually, but Ye Tianchen was the first.

No matter what, Grandpa Ye Yuan Shan was revered by everyone in the Ye family, respected from the heart. No one dared to speak to him so casually.

"Ye Tianchen, do you have any respect for Grandpa? You have no manners at all." Ye Mu Bai took the opportunity to scold harshly.

"You don't respect Grandpa at all; you're a truly unfilial son." Ye He Guo also added fuel to the fire.

Hearing Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo, Ye Tianchen knew they had always harbored resentment and wanted revenge. Now that they had a chance, they were trying to drag him down, hoping to drag him to death.

"Respect isn't just about words; it's about the heart. I'm not like some people who say they respect but do things that make Grandpa angry. Grandpa, you should eat more and take care of your health!" Ye Tianchen smiled at Ye Yuan Shan.

"Father, this unworthy descendant is too arrogant..."

"Without family rules, it's unacceptable..."

"Shut up! If you two say another word, get out of the Ye family's old residence!" Ye Yuan Shan turned and glared at his eldest son, Ye Mu Bai, and second son, Ye He Guo.

Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo were both frightened and didn't dare to say another word. Now, Grandpa Ye Yuan Shan was completely on the side of his third son, Ye Hong, and their status was getting lower.

"Father, Tianchen has always been like this, spoiled by us. Don't be upset!" Luo Yan quickly said.

"Ha ha, Hong, Xiao Yan, we're all family. There's no need to be so formal at dinner. I think Tianchen is just fine. It feels like a family. I haven't been this happy in a long time." Ye Yuan Shan smiled.

"Father..." Ye Hong was moved. For years, his father had been cold to him, and he didn't know why, feeling uncomfortable. Now, seeing his father smile, he was also happy. The decline of the Ye family was evident, and he knew his father, Ye Yuan Shan, must be the most distressed.

"Grandpa, that's right. We're family. Although our relationship wasn't good before, I think you're easy to get along with. Old people should eat well, drink well, and enjoy life!" Ye Tianchen said while eating a large crab leg.

"You're right, you're right. Hong, Tianchen, come, have a drink with me!" Ye Yuan Shan raised his glass of red wine and smiled.

Ye Hong quickly raised his glass, while Ye Tianchen, holding a large crab leg in his left hand, casually raised his glass with his right hand, clinked it, and drank it all in one go.

By the time dinner was over, it was already ten o'clock. Ye Mu Bai and Ye He Guo had stood by the table for over three hours, feeling both amused and frustrated. They didn't dare to leave or sit down, fearing punishment from Grandpa Ye Yuan Shan. They could only watch as their third brother, Ye Hong, and his family enjoyed the meal, their resentment growing.

This dinner was the most enjoyable for Ye Tianchen. He ate happily from start to finish, while Ye Yuan Shan observed his grandson, seeing the hope of reviving the Ye family. Since he stepped down, he had been thinking about how to revitalize the Ye family. His three sons were not smart or lucky enough to revive the family. Now, although Ye Tianchen had a lot of ruffian qualities, he also had a bold and daring spirit, perhaps giving a glimmer of hope.

"Hong, come to my study later, I have something to tell you!" Ye Yuan Shan smiled at Ye Tianchen and left the table.
