Chapter 69

Listening to the conversation between Qin Yi, the patriarch of the Qin family, and Vice Chairman Yang Yi of the Central Military Commission, it seemed that they did not touch on any key issues, only slightly mentioning them before ending the conversation.

People at their level had long since stopped holding back three parts of their words; they held back five parts, only saying half. Everyone was smart and naturally understood the implications. Only the foolish father and son duo, Qin Tao and Qin Heng, would act as if they were the best in the world. Those who truly held power were always very low-key and greeted people with a smile.

Qin Yi finally said to Yang Yi, "If it was your people who took away the murderer, I hope you can hand him over to me for handling. Such a brute should be executed; otherwise, where is the law and order? As for the Ye family, I will give them a call."

Yang Yi merely smiled slightly and nodded, not responding. This statement did not need a response and was hard to respond to. Regardless of the situation, he could now confirm that it was definitely Canglang who took Ye Tianchen to complete the task of escorting personnel to the United States to exchange confidential files.

Moreover, from Qin Yi's words, one could hear many things. He hoped that Yang Yi would not interfere or shield Ye Tianchen, or else Qin Yi would not let it go. Additionally, the Qin family did not take the Ye family seriously at all. To catch Ye Tianchen or kill him, they only needed to make a phone call.

Watching Qin Yi leave his office, Yang Yi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then called Canglang. It was not that Yang Yi was afraid of Qin Yi; both had reached a certain level where there was no fear of each other. However, many things required a backup plan.

At this moment, Canglang had just finished paying the bill at a seafood restaurant, his face pale with anger. Ye Tianchen had eaten thousands of yuan worth of seafood alone and even wanted to take a large lobster home, which made Canglang want to beat him up.

Tiechui was driving, and Canglang was sitting in the back seat. He was also unsure about his choice of Ye Tianchen for this mission. This guy was no longer a soldier, so he was not bound by military discipline and spoke and acted casually. It was precisely because he met these conditions that even if he caused trouble in the United States, the US government could not blame the Chinese government. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Ye Tianchen's three conditions and helped him fend off the retaliation from the Luo and Qin families for a while. He just did not know if it was worth it.

"Cangjiang, Ye Tianchen is so laid-back. I'm worried he might not be reliable. What if he fails to complete the mission?" Tiechui asked with concern.

"No, I trust my judgment. Over the years, every soldier I have chosen has become a prominent figure. Although Ye Tianchen has a bit of a thug's personality, he is the best choice for this mission," Canglang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid Ye Tianchen might be too playful, taking the benefits without doing the job. If that happens, it will be disastrous. You promised Vice Chairman Yang that if Ye Tianchen fails to complete the mission, you would have to take off your military uniform..." Tiechui said anxiously.

Indeed, from the moment they met Ye Tianchen at Beifeng轩, his behavior had been quite unreliable. He was laid-back and indifferent, not at all like someone who could go to the United States to complete a mission.

Tiechui had been working under Canglang for a long time. They were superiors and subordinates, but they were also brothers in private. He knew how significant this mission of escorting personnel to the United States to exchange confidential files was. If Ye Tianchen took the money and did not do the job or was killed in the United States and failed to complete the mission, Canglang would definitely be punished.

"Tiechui, you only know that Ye Tianchen is very strong, so strong that it is unfathomable, but you do not understand this man who is both a god of death and a thug. When he is serious, no one can stop him..."

As Canglang said this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and even his blood seemed to boil. As one of the three great warriors of China and a member of the Central Military Commission, Canglang had few opportunities to personally take action. Engaging in a duel was no longer appropriate for his status.

However, Canglang was a warrior who yearned for intense and crazy battles. When Ye Tianchen proposed that if he completed the mission, he would fight him, Canglang was truly excited. He could sense Ye Tianchen's unfathomable combat strength and wanted to gauge how strong this guy really was.

"I'm just afraid this guy might not be reliable. If something goes wrong, it will be disastrous. And when he arrives at the airport tomorrow morning and sees the person he has to protect, he might immediately refuse to do it..." Tiechui thought about the person Ye Tianchen had to protect. If it were him, he would not do it either. So, Canglang's choice of Ye Tianchen to complete the mission in the United States was a significant risk.

"I am confident in this. Ye Tianchen is a man of his word. He just promised me that he would complete the mission no matter what." Canglang thought of how he had tricked Ye Tianchen into swearing an oath and felt that he had finally pranked this guy.

"Should we send someone to follow Ye Tianchen just in case?" Tiechui suggested after a moment of thought.

"No need. Yalong will send two trusted men to go with Ye Tianchen. We won't send anyone from our side," Canglang shook his head and said.

"Yalong? Is the Falcon Unit also getting involved?"

Tiechui did not expect that not only would the Tianlong Group be responsible for escorting personnel to the United States to exchange confidential files, but the Falcon Unit would also be involved. It seemed that this matter was indeed significant.

"This is just a comprehensive strategy from above. It has nothing to do with us. As long as Ye Tianchen completes the mission, I will have given Vice Chairman Yang an account," Canglang said.

At that moment, Canglang's phone rang. The ringtone "When You Are a Soldier" had always been Canglang's ringtone. As a soldier for decades, he had an unbreakable bond with the military. If he had to take off his military uniform, he might feel very lost.

"Boss, what do you need?" Canglang pressed the call button and asked respectfully.

"Did you take Ye Tianchen from Beifeng轩?"

"Yes."

"What's the situation? Tell me," Yang Yi asked calmly.

"Ye Tianchen beat up Qin Heng at Beifeng轩, leaving him disfigured. Lu Shengda surrounded Beifeng轩 with his men, and Qin Taoyuan also came. I took Ye Tianchen away. We are heading to the United States tomorrow, and we cannot let this guy be caught," Canglang reported.

"Qin Yi came to see me personally, asking me to hand over Ye Tianchen. I did not respond, but given Qin Yi's character, he will not let it go."

"Boss, we should not get involved in the conflict between Ye Tianchen and the Qin family. However, we must ensure Ye Tianchen's safety until he completes the mission. He can deal with the Qin family himself when he returns," Canglang suggested.

"Alright, I did not respond. Let's handle it this way for now."

"Yes, Boss."

After hanging up, Canglang took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. Although he trusted Ye Tianchen's character, he did not know how strong Ye Tianchen was. According to the intelligence gathered over the years, there were many experts in the US special agents. Moreover, there was accurate intelligence that the US government had secretly hired a powerful mercenary group to pull a double-cross and seize the confidential files from the Chinese side.

Many people might wonder why, if the other side had secretly sent so many experts to pull a double-cross, the Chinese side did not secretly send experts to follow or why they had to exchange confidential files with the US side.

Canglang had participated in the highest-level meeting of the Central Military Commission, which lasted for a day and a night. This confidential file exchange was a must. If they could obtain it, it would significantly enhance the military strength of the entire country. If the Chinese side sent a large number of experts, it would be seen as cowardly and would make the US side wary, possibly refusing the exchange. After comprehensive discussion, they decided to send a single expert who did not represent the military to complete the mission. Canglang naturally thought of Ye Tianchen first.

At this moment, in a black extended sedan, Qin Yi and his son Qin Taoyuan were sitting in the back seat, with two special forces escort vehicles in front and behind for absolute safety.

"Father, why did you not let me finish? Canglang is under Yang Yi's command. How could Yang Yi not know that he took Ye Tianchen? This guy is just making excuses..." Qin Taoyuan said resentfully.

Qin Yi glanced at his son and sighed, shaking his head. "Taoyuan, your character is too impulsive. Let's not even talk about whether this has anything to do with Yang Yi. Even if it does, what can we do to him?"

"Father, no one has ever dared to bully our Qin family. We only bully others. Are we just going to let this go?" Qin Taoyuan said unwillingly.

To say that Qin Taoyuan was irrational and impulsive was not entirely true. Over the years, the Qin family's power had grown, and no one had ever dared to challenge their authority. This made the Qin family's descendants gradually become more arrogant. Moreover, Qin Heng, Qin Taoyuan's only son, had been beaten so badly that even if he survived, he could not show his face in public. How could Qin Taoyuan not be heartbroken and hate with a vengeance?

"I believe Yang Yi will understand and not interfere. A small family like the Ye family, and a mere Ye Tianchen, dared to attack my grandson. Do they think I am old and weak? I want to see how Ye Yuanshan will give me an account. I am not as easy to deal with as Lu Songcheng," Qin Yi said, somewhat angry.

"Father, what should we do now?" Qin Taoyuan asked.

"Go to the Ye family's old residence. I want Ye Yuanshan to publicly break his grandson Ye Tianchen's legs as punishment!" Qin Yi said coldly.
