56: Chapter 56 [Mysterious Mission?] 56: Chapter 56 [Mysterious Mission?] Cang Lang chose Ye Tianchen for a reason when he selected him to guarantee the mission to Yang Yi’s leadership. There were two conditions that only Ye Tianchen fully met. First, Ye Tianchen was once a special forces soldier and is now retired, simply a citizen of China. His actions do not represent the country’s will. Second, Ye Tianchen possesses strong skills that are unfathomable. Moreover, this guy tends to be violent. He doesn’t look for trouble, but he’s certainly not afraid of it. Anyone who crosses him will have to contend with his fists, even if they are the Heavenly King himself. As for Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang sometimes envied the kid. He could curse and fight whenever he wanted, never picking a fight but always ready to engage anyone who troubled him with a thorough beating. Others don’t have such freedom, with every word and deed representing their country’s image, careful not to act rashly. But this mission required a facade of harmony while competing in the shadows, possibly even involving bloodshed and sacrifice. In fact, the competition between nations never ceases. Do not be fooled by appearances of friendship and smiles during conversations. The reality is that spies from two countries exchange fire, suffering casualties, and special forces soldiers battle at the borders, with countless injuries and deaths. The common citizens are unaware of this, as there are always individuals sacrificing their lives for national honor. Especially in recent years, as China grows stronger, certain hegemonic nations are uneasy, not daring to openly move against China but secretly sending in experts to destabilize the country and gather its most confidential intelligence. This requires capable and patriotic Chinese masters to engage them in life-and-death battles to protect and defend the nation. Every year, numerous patriotic Chinese men bleed and sacrifice themselves for their country without public recognition, often without even a gravestone. Their records exist only in the most secret archives, but they are without regret, embodying the spirit of the Descendants of Yanhuang and the national righteousness. “Boss, the most suitable person for this mission is Ye Tianchen. Since you’ve entrusted this task to me, I can only bet on him,” Cang Lang said seriously after looking at Yang Yi and nodding. “Alright, I’ll leave it in your hands. Let me know if you face any difficulties. Also, I must make it clear upfront that this mission has to succeed. If it fails, you’re no longer a soldier,” Yang Yi said earnestly to Cang Lang. Cang Lang was shocked. As someone who had risen to the leadership ranks, being a soldier was his lifelong pride and his life’s work. The thought of no longer being in the military was unbearable, as it would be worse than death. He just didn’t expect this mission to be so important, or else Yang Yi wouldn’t have personally intervened nor spoken so frankly to him. “Understood, boss. I swear to complete the mission,” Cang Lang said, saluting. After leaving Yang Yi’s office, Cang Lang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He wasn’t completely clear about the actual mission, but he didn’t imagine the consequences would be so severe. He couldn’t help but curse to himself: Ye Tianchen, don’t let me down. If the mission fails, I’m done for, staking my military uniform on your behalf. At that moment, Ye Tianchen, still dining at the Ye family’s old residence, was unaware that Cang Lang would soon come looking for him, ready to issue orders on behalf of the leaders. Whether he would accept the mission remained to be seen. After being reborn from the apocalypse, a world where only the strong were respected and power meant everything, leadership orders were secondary. Thus, whether Ye Tianchen would accept Yang Yi’s command was truly up in the air. In the main hall of the Ye family’s old residence, previously, it was Ye Mubai and Ye Heguo, dining with their father, Ye Yuanshan. But today was different, with the two standing aside, looking utterly embarrassed and awkward, forced to watch Ye Hong and his family eat with their father. “Dad, try some of this roast meat. It should be good,” said Ye Hong, a dutiful son, serving food to his father, Ye Yuanshan. Ye Yuanshan nodded, watching Ye Tianchen, who was engrossed in his meal. The way Tianchen ate was far from elegant; as soon as the food was served, he began to devour it greedily, hoarding several dishes in front of himself, eating nonstop, gulping down red wine, his face smeared with grease. It made Ye Yuanshan shake his head with a smile. In Capital City, among the big and small families, those with some standing observe certain household rules. How to dine and where to sit during meals, all follow protocols—it’s the mark of a prominent family, at least not eating like Ye Tianchen without any sense of propriety, leaving everyone speechless. “Tianchen, don’t you have any manners?” Ye Hong, seeing his father Ye Yuanshan smiling at Ye Tianchen, thought his father was about to get angry and quickly scolded Tianchen in a serious tone. Ye Tianchen looked up at his father Ye Hong, not understanding what was going on, so engrossed in his meal that he wasn’t pretending at all. He genuinely found the food at the old Ye residence delicious, but seeing his father gesturing to him, he somewhat grasped the situation. “Old man, try some of this crab meat. It’s deliciously sweet,” said Tianchen casually, as he passed a dish of stir-fried crab meat over to Ye Yuanshan. “You little…” “Bro…” Ye Hong, Luo Yan, and Ye Qianwen, the three of them, had never anticipated that Ye Tianchen would speak to the patriarch Ye Yuanshan so casually. Despite being family, Ye Yuanshan was the head of the household and the main pillar of the Ye family. No one had ever dared to speak to the patriarch in such a way before, and Ye Tianchen was the first. No matter what, in the eyes of everyone in the Ye family, Ye Yuanshan, the patriarch, was regarded with a respect that was held deep in their hearts, and no one dared to speak to him so casually. “Ye Tianchen, do you not have any regard for the patriarch at all, and have no sense of propriety?” Ye Mubai took the opportunity to say fiercely. “Having no respect for the patriarch, you truly are an unfilial son,” Ye Heguo also hurried to add fuel to the fire. Upon hearing Ye Mubai and Ye Heguo’s words, Ye Tianchen knew these two people had always held resentment against him, wishing for revenge. Now that they had grabbed hold of something, they were eager to pull at it, wishing they could drag him to his death. “Respect isn’t something you just talk about, it needs to be felt in the heart. I’m not like certain two people who pay lip service to respect, while in reality, they do things as if they want the patriarch to drop dead. It might be best, Grandfather, if you eat more and take good care of your health!” Ye Tianchen said to Ye Yuanshan with a smile. “Dad, this unworthy descendant is too arrogant…” “Without family discipline, this won’t do…” “Shut your mouths. If you two dare to say one more word, I’ll have you thrown out of the Ye family’s old residence!” Ye Yuanshan turned around and glared at his eldest son Ye Mubai and second son Ye Heguo as he roared. Ye Mubai and Ye Heguo were both startled, not daring to say another word. Ye Yuanshan, the patriarch, was now completely siding with his third son Ye Hong, which meant their status was getting lower and lower. “Dad, Tianchen has been like this since he was a child, spoiled by us. Please don’t take it to heart,” Luo Yan hurriedly said. “Hehe, Honger, Xiao Yan, we’re all family here. Why be so formal at a family dinner? I think the way Tianchen is, it’s quite nice—it feels like family. I haven’t been this happy in a long time,” Ye Yuanshan said with a smile. “Dad…” Ye Hong was somewhat moved. Over the years, his father had always been lukewarm towards him, and he didn’t know why, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. Now, seeing his father rarely smile, he also felt very happy. The decline of the Ye family was evident to all, and his father Ye Yuanshan must’ve been the one feeling it the most. “Patriarch, that’s the right attitude. We’re a family, and even though our relationships haven’t been that great in the past, I find you quite pleasant to be around. Elderly people should enjoy good food, drinks, and fun, and revel in the joy of family!” Ye Tianchen said while eating a large crab leg. “That’s right, that’s right. Honger, Tianchen, come join me for a drink,” Ye Yuanshan said, raising his glass of red wine with a smile. Ye Hong quickly raised his glass, while Ye Tianchen, with a large crab leg in his left hand, casually raised his glass of red wine with his right hand, clinking glasses and then downing it in one gulp. By the completion of the dinner, it was already 10 pm. Ye Mubai and Ye Heguo had been standing next to the dining table for a full three hours, caught between laughter and tears, neither daring to leave nor sit, afraid of punishment from the patriarch Ye Yuanshan. They could only watch with wide eyes as their younger brother Ye Hong and his family happily ate and drank, their resentment growing deeper. This dinner was the most enjoyable for Ye Tianchen; he kept eating from the moment he sat down to the moment he got up. Meanwhile, Ye Yuanshan continuously observed his grandson, seemingly seeing hope for revitalizing the Ye family.

His three sons were not smart enough nor lucky enough to bring prosperity to the family. Ye Tianchen might have a strong sense of arrogance, but he also had the domineering courage—perhaps there was still a sliver of chance. “Honger, come to my study later. There’s something I need to discuss with you,” Ye Yuanshan said with a smile as he looked at Ye Tianchen and then left the dining table. [PS: Thanks to the strong support from my brothers and sisters, the results have been very good. It seems our “Super Soldier” legion is definitely not for show. Right now, we just need one kind of vote, and that’s the Sanjiang vote. Brothers, head to the Sanjiang channel to claim it, bring it on, and charge forward…]
