Chapter 396: 396
“Bro, where are you heading abroad?”
“…the United States.”
“Will you co back then?”
“Of course, I’ll co back. I’ve got to go to your family’s store to repay your dad. Go on, get inside. If your dad pukes, you’ll have to clean it up. Cover them with blankets. Oh, and rember to study hard when you start school, got it? Your dad might not have offered you the best life, but you have to make sure he gets one. Hear ?”
He Ku nodded heavily.
Ye Tian looked at him, patted his head, and left the courtyard.
He walked until he reached Erwanzi Street and then stopped. Looking back, he realized he had reached the Zheng Family’s place. The gates were tightly shut, and not a sliver of light showed through the courtyard. Peer through the gates, and it was pitch-black. Not a soul in sight.
No one? That’s not right.
A chilling aura ca from behind. Ye Tian swiftly stepped to the side, dodging it. When he looked back, several n in suits stood behind him.
The leader was wearing black-frad glasses, a standard black suit. To soone with poor eyesight, they probably wouldn’t even notice there was soone standing there.
“Invisibility Clothes, pretty high-tech.”
Ye Tian said jokingly while sizing them up to guess their origins.
“Mr. Ye, Captain Long has sent us. Please co with us.”
Their tone was confident, holding its own among their kind, but to Ye Tian, it wasn’t much to speak of.
“Kid, you’re not quite there yet. Trying to imitate the presence of a superior with your diocre skills isn’t that easy to pull off. Better save your energy.”
The man with glasses twitched his mouth as if he wanted to say sothing.
Long Xiaotian had warned him before coming: don’t talk nonsense to this guy, don’t act tough. This guy doesn’t buy it. Either show authority or just start fighting.
“Hehe, Mr. Ye, you are a veteran of the Dragon Team. The rookies now regard your solo mission to Afghanistan as a legend. Look, why make it hard for these young brothers?”
Ye Tian snorted coldly, “How long have you been following ? Not a short ti, I guess. You’ve been watching since I entered the city, right? The governnt folks have been ssed with till half-dead by you guys, so now it’s my turn, is it?”
“Hehe, it’s not like that, Mr. Ye. Please, just cooperate with us.”
“Cooperate? If I hadn’t dodged just now, your Dragon Thorn would have stabbed , right? And now you rember to ask for my cooperation?”
The man with glasses lifted his head to look at Ye Tian, a cold glint in his eyes, then pressed on with a lower voice, “Mr. Ye, we’re all from the sa agency, please don’t make it difficult for us, the foot soldiers?”
After he finished talking, his five companions surrounded Ye Tian in a semi-circular formation, blending into the darkness of the night with their black attire, exuding chilly air.
Ye Tian rolled up his sleeves, his eyes darting around, then pushed open the big gates behind him and said, “It’s not good to fight in the streets. If things get too loud, it will be difficult for you to explain. Co on in, let’s fight inside.”
Ye Tian walked in first and didn’t forget to invite the others to follow. As expected, there was no one in the courtyard—probably soone involved with them had taken care of that.
“Co on in, our principle is not to disturb the public, right? How does it go again? Oh yeah, ‘quiety enter the village, and keep your guns silent.'”
The six n walked into the courtyard, surrounding Ye Tian. In top-notch gear: knife-resistant night clothes, silent-soled boots, and the lethally poisonous Dragon Bone Spur. Anyone from the Dragon Team could easily take on ten foes, and now there were six surrounding him. Ye Tian wondered if he could handle them.
“Mr. Ye, Captain Long sent us, nothing else. Just wants you to visit the headquarters; after all, we’re all old acquaintances. And the General misses you. This stance you’re taking makes it really tough on us subordinates…”
Ye Tian interrupted him bluntly, “Kid, quit bulls****ing with this nonsense. Do you really think I’m soone you can hoodwink? Useless or not, I can see through it with my eyes closed. Don’t keep spouting this and that at . If you have any weapons, just co at . I haven’t killed many people, but pigs? I’ve slaughtered a fair share of hundreds… Uh!”
It felt like sothing bit his neck. Ye Tian cried out inside, sothing wasn’t right. Touching his neck, he found a silver needle laced with poison; otherwise, he wouldn’t be getting dizzy…
There’s a famous poet in Huaxia who said, “Baseness is the passport of the base, and nobility the epitaph of the noble.” I forget who that was, but the aning seems quite accurate even now. It’s akin to “Good n don’t live long, but evil prevails for a thousand years.”
No one can lightly define the law of the cycle of nature, but at least for now, it seems to have failed. In Beiping City, such a failure is unfolding.
In the western suburbs of Beiping, underground room.
It’s a secret facility beneath a guise of a vegetable greenhouse, unknown to outsiders, and even high-level officials below vice minister level have no clue about this. People just think it’s a base supplying vegetables to the city.
Go down, and it’s top-notch conditions, on par with an operating room’s cleanliness and more comfortable than a five-star luxury suite, turning the place into another heaven. Of course, that’s if you ignore the horrifying screams that could rupture eardrums.
This place can shelter the national leaders from disasters because it can withstand floods, fires, war missiles, and even nuclear threats. It is sealed tight, sturdy enough to keep the entire country in the dark. This venue goes by a pleasant na, the No.1 Space, and its independent rooms are called No.2 Space, No.3 Space… all the way to No.10 Space. There are only ten rooms because those who can enter here are truly qualified.
Obviously, Ye Tian is one such person.
Utmost secrecy provides safety and also conceals dirty tools and thods.
