Chapter 44

"Grandpa Wu, why did you come? I was just thinking about visiting you in a few days!" Ye Chenfeng's face showed a flattering smile. After all, Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Ye were of the same generation, so Ye Chenfeng had to maintain a proper demeanor.

"Chenfeng, you're still as smooth-talking as ever! Since you were planning to visit me, why don't you come back to the capital with me today? I can arrange a decent position for you in the military. What do you think?" How shrewd was Grandpa Wu? He decided to go with the flow and see how Ye Chenfeng would respond.

When Grandpa Wu said this, the main person, Ye Chenfeng, didn't panic, but Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu, who were standing nearby, became anxious. They couldn't let anyone else poach Ye Chenfeng. There should be some respect for who came first, right? Even if Grandpa Wu was the second-in-command of the military, what could they do?

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall! In Lin Zhonghu's eyes, Ye Chenfeng was his protégé! How could he let him go so easily? In Ye Dongjian's eyes, Ye Chenfeng was his nephew. Could he just watch his nephew be poached by someone else? That would be too embarrassing.

"Uncle Wu, you see, Chenfeng was arranged to come to the Strong Soldier Training Camp by my father. What you're doing might not be appropriate!" Ye Dongjian swallowed hard and said cautiously.

"Dongjian, don't try to scare me with Old Ye. Back in the day, your old man and I were as close as brothers, even sharing underwear. Do you think he would be angry if I borrowed his grandson for a while?" Grandpa Wu asked irritably.

Seeing that his words had no effect, Lin Zhonghu had to swallow his frustration. Back in the day, Lin Zhonghu had served under Grandpa Wu for a while, and it was only with Grandpa Wu's promotion that he achieved his current status.

Clearly, Grandpa Wu's stance was very clear. He was determined to have Ye Chenfeng, with no room for negotiation. So, Lin Zhonghu decided not to fight a losing battle. Although he was heartbroken to lose such a talented person, there was nothing he could do about it.

Ye Dongjian and Lin Zhonghu had already discussed this. For now, they had to stand united. It would be easier to have Ye Chenfeng train the shooting team in the morning and the Leap Forward team in the afternoon. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

But now, seeing that Lin Zhonghu was silent, Ye Dongjian was extremely frustrated. He coughed a few times and kept giving Lin Zhonghu meaningful looks.

Lin Zhonghu pretended to look around, showing no reaction to Ye Dongjian's hints.

Grandpa Wu saw everything and asked with a smile, "Little Hu, it's been so long since we last met. You're now the instructor of the Leap Forward team. Are you also trying to compete with me for Ye Chenfeng?"

Lin Zhonghu immediately stood straight and respectfully replied, "Commander, how could I compete with you? I owe my current achievements to your training and promotion."

Lin Zhonghu, as his name suggested, was usually like a fierce tiger in the eyes of others, but now he had become a gentle kitten.

"That's good. I didn't misjudge you back then," Grandpa Wu nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Dongjian cursed in his heart, his heart turning cold. It seemed that his plan to keep Ye Chenfeng in the Strong Soldier Training Camp was just a dream.

Our main character, Ye Chenfeng, watched all this with a nonchalant attitude. No matter who came, he wouldn't stay in the military camp.

In his previous life, he had undergone harsh training and carried out missions for the country. In this life, he wanted to live differently, to live for himself and his family.

"Chenfeng, you haven't answered my question yet," Grandpa Wu said with a smile.

Ye Chenfeng shrugged and said, "Grandpa Wu, it's not that I won't agree, but I have no interest in these things. I have my own matters to attend to."

Without any beating around the bush, he directly rejected Grandpa Wu's invitation. If it were anyone else, they would probably be scared stiff.

Although the Wu family was only a second-tier family in the capital and Grandpa Wu was the second-in-command of the military, it was rumored that his position would be upgraded by the end of the year. At that time, Grandpa Wu would be the head of the military, and the Wu family would become a first-tier family.

Grandpa Wu, who was a military man, was most annoyed by people who were indecisive and couldn't express themselves clearly. Instead, Ye Chenfeng's straightforward personality suited him.

"Looks like the Ye family boy has really changed. A person's character shouldn't change so quickly, right? Could it be, as Fang said, that he is wise and appears foolish? Is what others see not the real him?" Grandpa Wu thought to himself. This was the most plausible explanation he could think of.

Although he admired Ye Chenfeng in his heart, Grandpa Wu deliberately showed displeasure on his face and said, "Chenfeng, you just said you were going to visit me. Why are you unwilling to go back to the capital with me now?"

Ye Chenfeng calmly replied, "I did say I would visit you, but now I've already seen you, haven't I?"

"Good boy, are you interested in having a few drinks with me? If you can get me drunk, I won't force you. But if you get drunk, you'll have to go to the military in the capital with me." Ye Chenfeng's calm demeanor made Grandpa Wu even more determined to take him to the military in the capital.

In his youth, Grandpa Wu was known for his incredible drinking capacity. Anyone who had drunk with him never dared to mention drinking again, as they had all been outdrunk by him.

Over time, those who knew him well gave him the nickname "Thousand Cups Without Drunkenness."

What did Ye Chenfeng fear about drinking? With his body possessing soul power, even a thousand cups wouldn't make him drunk, let alone ten thousand.

"Grandpa Wu, since you're in such a good mood, why shouldn't I have a few drinks with you today? If I get drunk, I'll agree to go to the military in the capital with you," Ye Chenfeng said.

"Good, that's the spirit! You three, get out. Let me and Chenfeng drink to our heart's content." Grandpa Wu liked straightforward people. He didn't believe that someone with Ye Chenfeng's exceptional skills would also have an exceptional drinking capacity.
