Chapter 77

Standing in front of Ye Tianchen was a woman of extraordinary beauty, so beautiful that it was indescribable, a beauty that could topple cities and charm the world. Words like "dazzling" and "captivating" seemed mundane when used to describe her.

No matter how much Ye Tianchen disliked this woman, he could not deny her beauty—her bright eyes, white teeth, skin as smooth as congealed fat, willow-leaf eyebrows, icy skin, and jade-like bones. She was like a fairy descended from heaven, pure and spotless, and radiantly beautiful.

Light silk fan, white orchid,

Slender waist, jade belt, dancing in the sky.

It seems like a fairy has descended,

A smile that surpasses the stars!

"I have nothing to say to you. I, Ye Tianchen, am not a great person. I'm sorry, but I quit!" Ye Tianchen said and walked toward the helicopter door.

"Stop, Ye Tianchen, you are a coward. What happened back then was not intentional. I didn't want you to be humiliated. If I hadn't pleaded with my grandfather, you would have been dead long ago."

"Thank you for pleading on my behalf. Now we are even. Goodbye!"

Ye Tianchen still did not want to look at this woman, even though she was so beautiful that it took his breath away. Even for a man who had seen countless beauties in the post-apocalyptic world, he still had to admire her. However, he did not want to have any further entanglements with her. The greatest humiliation he had ever experienced came from her. The events of that year were still vivid in his mind. Even though Ye Tianchen was no longer the same person he was back then, the reborn him had already taken everything as his own responsibility, his family, and his loved ones, and he was determined to protect them with his life.

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to step out of the helicopter, a hunched figure darted out and launched a throat lock at his neck, moving so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning, with great force.

Sensing a sharp killing intent, Ye Tianchen's eyes turned cold. He stood at the door, motionless, and when the throat lock came, he turned his body and punched out.

Peng!

A dull sound echoed. Ye Tianchen felt as if he had hit a steel plate. This was the first time since his rebirth in the city that he had such a feeling when facing an opponent. The person who had ambushed him was very strong.

The figure that Ye Tianchen had punched back took two steps back to steady itself and looked at Ye Tianchen with an incredibly surprised expression. She had not expected this young man to be so skilled. Last night, Lang said that a very strong young man would protect the young lady on her mission to exchange confidential information in M country. When Lang mentioned that the young man was only twenty years old, she had dismissed it with a few cold words. Now, it seemed that the young man Lang had sent was indeed extraordinary, though she did not understand why he seemed to have a deep grudge against the young lady.

"Young man, your skills are impressive. Which school did you learn from?" the old woman who had failed to ambush Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Ye Tianchen was also surprised. The person who had ambushed him was an old woman, at least sixty years old, with a hunched back, yet she possessed astonishing skills. When his punch hit her palm, he felt a hidden powerful internal force. Even if the old woman stood still in front of him, breathing normally, Ye Tianchen could still sense the powerful aura emanating from her.

"It seems you are an expert from an ancient martial arts school. Don't block me; I don't fight with the elderly," Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Ye Tianchen, this is Yongchun Tai, the 92nd generation master of Yongchun Fist."

"Since there is already an expert to protect you, I am no longer needed. I have nothing to do with you. Goodbye!"

"Young man, regardless of any misunderstandings between you and the young lady, I hope you can put aside personal grudges for the sake of the country. We can settle our differences after we complete the mission, can we?" Yongchun Tai said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Yongchun Tai. He was generally respectful to the elderly, but the woman in front of him was making it difficult for him to get along. The greatest humiliation of his life came from her, and now he was supposed to protect her. No wonder Lang had refused to reveal who he was supposed to protect. It was Liu Rumei, which made it impossible for Ye Tianchen to continue.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in national affairs," Ye Tianchen said, shrugging his shoulders.

At this moment, Liu Rumei walked up to Ye Tianchen, raised her delicate eyebrows, and moved her sensuous lips. She was about 1.76 meters tall with a curvaceous figure, wearing a pair of red high heels that made her calves look smooth and white, almost the same height as Ye Tianchen.

"Do you think I wanted to come? Do you think I wanted to enjoy a leisurely life at home? This mission concerns the safety of the entire Chinese nation and the enhancement of its military power. For nearly a century, our nation has developed under oppression, enduring countless hardships and sacrifices. Do you know that?" Liu Rumei stared into Ye Tianchen's eyes, trying to appeal to his sense of national duty.

"This is your business, not mine. I said, I am not a great person."

Being lectured by a woman, Ye Tianchen was still quite annoyed, especially when she made it seem as if he lacked a sense of national duty. In the post-apocalyptic world, the human race was weak, and mutated beasts roamed the world. Whether it was zombies, monsters, or cultivators, they all appeared in large numbers. It was not a matter of national duty or the relationship between countries, but the survival of the entire human race. As a god-level ability user, Ye Tianchen had protected the safety of the human race in the post-apocalyptic world, which was far beyond the scope of national duty.

"You... Ye Tianchen, I didn't pursue the matter back then. Why are you still holding a grudge? And there are many suspicious points about this matter. I have been investigating the person who framed us..." Liu Rumei said, looking at Ye Tianchen fiercely.

Hearing Liu Rumei's words, Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He was not unreasonable, but he did not want to have too much to do with Liu Rumei. After all, this woman had brought him great humiliation and made the Ye family lose face in the capital. However, her last words hit the mark. After hearing his sister Ye Qianwen and Qi Ruxue's discussion last night, Ye Tianchen also felt that the incident where he had allegedly peeked at Liu Rumei bathing was suspicious, with many points of doubt. It seemed as if they had both been framed, and Liu Rumei was also investigating the matter. Perhaps the humiliation he had suffered at the Liu family was not her intention.

"That year, it wasn't me who pressured your family. If I hadn't pleaded with my grandfather, you would have been dead. I remember that after you left, I hadn't even returned home when the news of you intruding into my bathroom had already reached my family. Do you think only you were humiliated? What about my reputation as a woman?" Liu Rumei said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ye Tianchen looked at Liu Rumei. Although he wanted to keep his distance from her, she spoke sincerely and made a lot of sense, especially when he saw her teary-eyed. Men are like that; they can't bear to see women, especially those who are breathtakingly beautiful, cry.

Indeed, since the incident between Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei, Ye Tianchen had become a laughingstock in the capital, known as a wastrel and a failure, bringing indelible shame to the Ye family. Liu Rumei, the most beautiful woman in the capital, had also suffered from many rumors. The men who had once pursued her in droves had all distanced themselves after the incident, even if they still wanted to be close to her, they dared not, for fear of the power of rumors, which can be more terrifying than a knife.

"What have you found?" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

Seeing that Ye Tianchen had not left, Liu Rumei's beautiful face softened, and she sighed. "So far, I only have some suspicions, but no concrete evidence. I feel that both of us have been used as pawns, and someone has played a double-edged game. As for why someone would do this to us, I don't know."

"Seems like you've been investigating for so long and found nothing. I don't know if it's because you're not capable or if the people in your Liu family are all useless," Ye Tianchen said, speechless.

"You... I'm better than you, at least. A man with no brains, not even knowing when you've been framed, and now you're throwing a tantrum. I didn't pursue you for peeking at me bathing, which was already generous of me," Liu Rumei said, irritated.

"Whatever, who cares? Aren't we all the same? Your butt isn't any bigger than other women's," Ye Tianchen said, annoyed.

To be honest, there was no major conflict between Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei. The incident where Ye Tianchen had accidentally seen Liu Rumei bathing had caused a stir in the capital and led to some problems. Now, it seemed that they might both have been framed, and someone had used a double-edged strategy to play them both, but they did not know who or why.

"You, Ye Tianchen, you big pervert, I won't let this go."

Liu Rumei's face turned bright red with embarrassment, and she pinched Ye Tianchen's arm hard. How could she not be embarrassed when he directly commented on the size of her buttocks?

"After completing this mission, our Liu family will also investigate this matter. Although the Liu family is usually low-key, we are not to be bullied, especially when it concerns the young lady's reputation. As for you, whether you want to clear your name is up to you," Yongchun Tai said at this moment.

"Old woman, I don't like the sound of that. What do you mean? Only your young lady has a reputation, dignity, and personality, and I, Ye Tianchen, don't? Fine, I'll go with you to M country, and after we return, I'll catch the culprit and make him pay!" Ye Tianchen said, quite annoyed.

[PS: Brothers and sisters, happy Lantern Festival! I wish all the friends of the "Super Combat Soldier" corps all the best, may you have a successful and fulfilling life, and a happy and healthy family!]
