Chapter 135: Chapter 130 The Once Secret"Take him away!" Chen Hao looked at Boss Zhang, who was in complete despair, and waved his hand dismissively. A few soldiers stepped forward and dragged him out of Anxiang Villa. Chen Hao wouldn’t kill him, nor would he beat him. That would only dirty his own hands. What awaited Boss Zhang was a punishment more painful than death! Even if the An family couldn’t be bothered with him, those wishing to ingratiate themselves with the An family would severely teach Boss Zhang a lesson. His fate in the circle of the powerful was already sealed—his life would be miserable. While everyone was still reeling from the previous shock, Chen Hao was buzzing with excitement as he talked nonstop to Bai Yan. "Brother Yan, you’re finally back!" "Brother Yan, when will you return to the One Dragon Team?" "Let me tell you, ever since you left, they promoted me to team leader, and that’s got me anxious! I’m terrified that you’ll come back one day and beat me up!" "Brother Yan, you must believe me, I’m not trying to steal your position as team leader. Military orders are hard to disobey! Should I submit a report tomorrow and resign as team leader? The position has always been yours, Brother Yan!" ... At this moment, Chen Hao was anything but the war god he was known to be on the battlefield—he was clearly a chatterbox! Bai Yan couldn’t stand it anymore. "Do I know you?" Bai Yan interrupted Chen Hao’s incessant chatter. "What the heck! Brother Yan, are you going to be like this, even forgetting me?" Chen Hao was taken aback, his face filled with surprise as he jumped and yelled, "Me! Chen Hao! Chen Retian! Even me you’ve forgotten, Brother Yan, that’s so uncool of you!" Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chen Retian... The corner of Bai Yan’s mouth twitched. That was quite the distinctive name. But it actually suited him. If you split the character for Hao, it becomes ’Retian’. "Sorry, I really don’t know you." Bai Yan shook his head and said calmly, "I don’t have any friends who dare to ’Retian’, but I admire your courage to even ’Retian’." My dude, your audacity knows no bounds, daring to ’Retian’. Chen Hao: "..." Chen Hao of Beijing, fearless and boundless, with an unbeatable military record, has been unbeatable since he enlisted! He is the elite among elites! This nickname, Chen Retian, really did live up to its name, at least in the circle of Beijing—many knew of him. But only Chen Hao himself knew, the so-called Chen Retian, was nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the former Bai Yan. This Chen Retian was a strong warrior personally trained by Bai Yan. In Chen Hao’s heart, Brother Yan would always remain his Brother Yan, no matter how much he himself changed, Brother Yan’s place in his heart would remain the same. It’s not that Bai Yan was teasing Chen Hao on purpose—he genuinely did not recognize this person called Chen Hao. Even when Bai Yan consulted the System in his mind, he could not get a clear answer. Recalling everything he’d experienced over the past more than ten years, there seemed to be no one named Chen Hao? But why did Chen Hao and the An family seem so familiar with him? Should he find an opportunity to have a good talk with this Chen Hao and probe for more information? Bai Yan pondered in his heart. "Dad, since you are alright, I’ll take my leave now. My mission has just been completed, and there are some matters in Beijing that I need to handle," An family’s second uncle looked deeply at Bai Yan, then turned around and respectfully said to Mr. An. It wasn’t that the second uncle of the An family was disrespecting his father; it was simply that there were too many matters in Beijing. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility, and he dared not slacken or neglect his duties. Some things, even if his own father was gravely ill and in danger, did not allow for any delay. It was already against the rules for him to squeeze in an hour to visit his father. "Go, national affairs are paramount. Don’t worry about this old man, with Little Bai Yan to accompany me, I’m quite content." Mr. An nodded and dismissed the matter with a wave of his hand, understanding his second son’s position and his compelled situation. "Alright." The second uncle of the An family nodded. He looked at Bai Yan and smiled, "Yan’er, it seems that you and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. I really wanted to take more care of you, but sadly, your second uncle really has some urgent matters. Once I have dealt with the urgent things on hand, I will come back and catch up properly with you." Second Uncle of the An family looked at Bai Yan with a touch of affection. The sincere expression seemed genuine, just like an elder in the family watching over a younger member. Catch up? Haven’t seen each other for a long time? What on earth are you talking about, have we met before? Bai Yan was full of doubts with nowhere to inquire; he very much wanted to have a proper communication with Uncle An from the An Family, preferably to coax something out of his mouth. Bai Yan felt as if he were kept in the dark. Intuition told Bai Yan that he seemed to have forgotten something important, and these people for sure knew about it! Unfortunately, Uncle An from the An Family did not give Bai Yan this opportunity. He had already left in a hurry with Chen Hao, looking indeed very busy. As for Chen Hao, the kid kept looking back every step of the way, and in the end, unable to bear it any longer, he chose to bite the bullet and break the team’s rule. He left his personal phone number in Bai Yan’s hand and said in a low voice, "Brother Yan, when you go back to Beijing, call me on this number." After saying that, Chen Hao did not wait for Bai Yan’s nod, and hurriedly caught up with Uncle An from the An Family and left with the team. They were about to take a military flight to Beijing overnight. The more important the position, the less time there is to attend to personal feelings. Mr. An saw the two off, then turned around and said to Bai Yan with a smile, "We really have to trouble Little Bai Yan this time. It’s already late tonight; you shouldn’t leave either. Just rest here, consider this place like your own home!" Mr. An actually took the initiative to offer this youngster a place to stay! This is a signal! This kid is bound to rise to prominence! People around were startled, as they all began to discreetly take note of Bai Yan’s appearance, resolving to strike up a relationship with this young man later on. Not to mention the ambiguous attitude of Uncle An from the An Family and Chen Hao toward this young man, just the fact that Bai Yan is Mr. An’s lifesaver alone is enough to amaze and curry favor! Bai Yan originally wanted to hint to Mr. An that he had some questions to ask; Bai Yan wanted to coax some words out of Mr. An. Unfortunately, Mr. An did not take the bait, only offering a faint smile in response. Left with no choice, Bai Yan simply exchanged pleasantries with Mr. An; he couldn’t possibly resort to force against An Xiaowan’s grandfather, could he? Afterward, Mr. An took Bai Yan’s advice and returned to his bedroom to continue his convalescence. Bai Yan, accompanied by An Yan, received various top figures from HZ city who were present at the An Family Mansion. These people, who initially belittled and were indifferent to Bai Yan, now adopted courteous and respectful expressions towards him. To this, Bai Yan merely responded with a detached smile; the bustling mortal world was like a fleeting cloud in his eyes. Those things that commoners care about, Bai Yan simply disdains. Even when it comes to money, Bai Yan was only earning it in order to buy enough large quantities of live poultry and for the sake of the development and future layout of his own power. Bai Yan’s determination was resolute, from the beginning he only wished to strengthen himself, rather than be blinded by these false flatteries. As time gradually approached the early morning hours, the guests conscientiously started to leave one after another, and Boss Wang hurriedly departed as well; he had many matters to attend to at his casino, and this visit was solely because of Mr. An. Now that Mr. An was out of danger, naturally, everyone would go about their business as usual. After all, Divine Doctor Bai had said that Mr. An needed quiet convalescence. After sending off all the guests, the An Sisters and Bai Yan returned to the villa. After spending some time with the two elderly, they all went to their respective rooms to sleep. Bai Yan followed the maid to the guest room to rest. Inside the guest room, Bai Yan tried to call the private number left by Chen Hao, but it was always unreachable, only strange busy signals came through. This seemingly unreliable guy, did he give himself a useless telephone number? Bai Yan frowned. What he did not know now was that all communication devices of the One Dragon Team members were under strict surveillance and information blocking, and only under very rare circumstances did they have private time. Since the One Dragon Team was always busy rushing around the country, who knows when Chen Hao and Bai Yan would meet again. Bai Yan, feeling helpless, knew that Mr. An wasn’t willing to tell him about these matters concerning himself, and he couldn’t reach Chen Hao and Uncle An from the An Family either. Even when he asked the An Sisters, An Yan remained tight-lipped, feigning ignorance. Even An Xiaowan, who always heeded Bai Yan’s words, remained silent on this matter. Bai Yan knew that these people were aware of some secrets about him, secrets that Bai Yan himself was unaware of, but Bai Yan simply had no clue where to start! He couldn’t possibly force the An Family to tell him these matters, could he? Not only was Bai Yan unwilling to do so, even if he was willing to press An Xiaowan, the An Family was not an entity that Bai Yan could afford to provoke at this time. Since he couldn’t figure it out, he stopped thinking about it; strengthening himself was the most critical issue. Regardless of his past unseen secrets, Bai Yan didn’t care; he only wanted to cherish the present. Only if he himself was strong enough, he could hold up even if the sky fell! Having realized this, Bai Yan locked the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and started cultivating Gang Qi. After the An Family Mansion returned to calm, it was already three o’clock in the morning. Bai Yan was still unaware that in another part of HZ city, because of him, an incident was brewing and slowly transforming into a storm and a focal point! Numerous people were going crazy for him, some even had sleepless nights!
