Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 312: Chapter 311: 【Something Happened, Something Big Happened!】

Ye Tianchen didn’t know that, in this world, there was such a woman who was silently worrying about him, silently shedding tears for him.

”Can I really do nothing? Tianchen was so powerful that perhaps, perhaps if the Ling family and Tianchen joined forces, we could win!” Ling Yuxun was already somewhat panicked, trying everything to help Ye Tianchen.

Old Lady Ku had watched Ling Yuxun grow up from childhood. On the surface, their relationship was that of master and servant, but it was really no different from that of grandmother and granddaughter, so Old Lady Ku would never deceive Ling Yuxun. This time, when Bao Tianglong struck, he almost wiped out the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and that was just a show of his lesser capabilities. With such strength, if Bao Tianglong personally took action, wouldn’t Ye Tianchen be waiting for death? How could Ling Yuxun not worry?

”Yuxun, you’re thinking too simply, and what you’re doing could likely doom the Ling family. Currently, our Ling family is shifting our focus domestically, and the American government is trying to stop it. Whether we can completely finish transferring or not is still uncertain. Therefore, anything that happens during this period might become an obstacle in our industry transition, and Master surely won’t agree. He’s not optimistic about Ye Tianchen right now, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stopped you from associating with this guy!” Old Lady Ku shook her head as she spoke.

”I...” Ling Yuxun was rendered speechless. She loved Ye Tianchen, with the same pure love as when she was a child. How could she just watch as Ye Tianchen faced danger? Yet, as a member of the Ling family, how could she jeopardize her own family?

Thus, Ling Yuxun was extremely conflicted — conflicted to death. She didn’t know what to do and could only silently cry.

”Don’t think too much, just wait and see. The only thing we can pray for now is that Ye Tianchen somehow manages to beat Bao Tianglong, although the chance is slight!” Old Lady Ku said as she looked at Ling Yuxun.

At that time, in the villa where Ye Tianchen was staying, Ye Tianchen, Wuxue, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong were deeply engrossed in conversation. Ye Tianchen cherished this gathering of good brothers, hard-won as they were.

”You’ve all worked hard. Our Thirteen Heavenly Kings will grow stronger and stronger—destined to stand at the Peak of both the righteous and the underworld. Thus, what I want to tell you is to keep your lives safe; that’s more important than anything!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Big brother, should we start expanding our team now?” Wuxue suggested.

”No, the Thirteen Heavenly Kings are enough. Having more people is useless. What I need is a team experienced in hundreds of battles. We’ve already made a name for ourselves as the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and I will make it even more renowned!” Ye Tianchen declined with a shake of his head and a smile.

”We’ve wiped out the Xuanyuan family, and the country has eliminated the Ouyang family. Now, the biggest obstacle remaining is Bao Tianglong. His power is strong and quite mysterious. Eliminating him will require a slow and careful approach!” Bao Tianglong also added his input.

”Yes, in dealing with Bao Tianglong, I hope everyone will be cautious and careful. This man is unfathomable, and I don’t know how strong he really is. Just the fact that his subordinate from Blood Mist is enough to give us a battle!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

”Yes, big brother!” Wuxue and the others responded together.

”The wind continues to blow, can’t bear to leave, my heart desperately yearns, wishing to stay by your side...”

Just then, Ye Tianchen’s phone rang. He had been listening to ”The Wind Continues to Blow” during this period; he found the song very flavorful, especially when riding a motorcycle—it felt quite romantic and stylish.

Ye Tianchen took out his phone and glanced at it. It was Cang Lang calling; what could this guy want from him? Probably because he had wiped out the Xuanyuan family and the Ouyang family, the leaders probably wanted to commend him. With this thought, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but chuckle smugly as he hit the call button.

”Hello, may I ask who you’re trying to reach?” Ye Tianchen asked in a mocking tone.

”It’s Cang Lang. Cut the crap, boy. Come on out; I’m outside your villa!” Cang Lang said sternly.

”Maybe you should come in to give rewards instead of making me come out to greet you?” Ye Tianchen asked in puzzlement.

”What are you thinking, boy? Hurry out; Elder Yang and the supreme leader want to see you!” Cang Lang said irritably.

”They want to see me? You’re making it so formal? Isn’t it enough to just give me a few hundred billion to spend?” Ye Tianchen chuckled and asked.

”Something’s happened, something big!” Cang Lang suddenly announced.

”Huh? I’ll be right there...” Ye Tianchen was somewhat puzzled. Cang Lang saying something serious had happened, and even that it was a big deal, was not to be taken lightly. So without any delay, Ye Tianchen hurriedly walked outside the villa.

When Ye Tianchen reached outside, Cang Lang was still driving a military SUV, waiting there already.

”What happened?” Ye Tianchen asked as he approached the car door.

”Get in!” Cang Lang said, offering only those two words.

”No way, someone’s looking for me again, don’t they know I’m busy? I’ve got no time!” Ye Tianchen complained, pursing his lips.

”This time, it’s something related to you. You can choose not to get in the car!” Cang Lang said, sounding quite annoyed.

”Something about me?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.

Before Ye Tianchen could react, Cang Lang had already slowly started the SUV, leaving Ye Tianchen stunned. He sprinted over in a few quick strides, braced himself with his left hand on the door of the SUV, and hopped in.

”I told you, kid, try not to follow me in!” Cang Lang recalled how Ye Tianchen often teased him, and he took this opportunity to mock Ye Tianchen as well.

”I’m doing this for the people. Anyway, you mentioned it’s about me, so what exactly is it?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”We’ll talk about it when you meet the supreme leader and Elder Yang!” Cang Lang said and then revved up the engine, heading towards Zhonghai.

Along the way, Ye Tianchen tried every trick in the book to make Cang Lang reveal the matter concerning him. However, Cang Lang was adamant. It seemed there was good reason the leaders had sent Cang Lang to fetch him. If Hei Mian had been sent, Ye Tianchen probably would have already gotten him to spill the beans; there would’ve been no need to meet the leaders.

Two hours later, the SUV parked outside the Zhonghai office building. Around the Zhonghai office district, numerous armed special forces were patrolling and Ye Tianchen instantly felt several strong energies, surely indicating that the area was filled with top experts.

Ye Tianchen followed Cang Lang, passing through several checkpoints before finally entering the leader’s grand office. Here, anyone’s entry required strict checks; nobody could pass freely.

”Elder, long time no see! I’ve missed you!” Ye Tianchen greeted the leader with a shamelessly cheerful smile.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Cang Lang immediately felt a headache coming on. A national leader—how could anyone talk so casually with him? Probably only Ye Tianchen dared to do so.

”Long time no see, have a seat!” The leader responded with a very cordial and amiable smile.

Ye Tianchen nodded, sat down, then looked at Elder Yang and chuckled, ”Elder Yang, staying healthy, I hope!”

”You kid, I’m not that old yet, am I?” Yang Yi said, laughing helplessly.

Seeing Ye Tianchen sit down, Cang Lang stood to one side. Sitting here were the country’s most powerful figures, Elder Yang and the supreme leader. To be able to sit so nonchalantly and chat without any nervousness was rare, and Ye Tianchen was certainly one of those few who could.

”Elders, may I know why you’ve asked for me?”

Though Ye Tianchen spoke with ease, he deeply respected the two leaders. They were truly for the country and the people, embodying great justice and love. Such characters deserved admiration.

”Let Elder Yang tell you!” the leader said with a smile.

Yang Yi glanced at Ye Tianchen, frowned slightly, and said:

”There are two things we need you for this time. First, you’ve eliminated the Xuanyuan family and the Ouyang family, which has pleased us greatly. Those two families were significant threats, like malignant tumors, always potentially endangering public safety. Second, Han Jie has encountered an incident at the border. It seems she has been captured, and we’re not sure by whom. We want you to go and rescue her!”

”What? Han Jie captured? At the border? What happened?” Ye Tianchen was stunned and asked.

”Since you’ve worked with Han Jie before, we thought it best to send you this time. You know her identity—she’s a military research personnel, very familiar with many things. Recently, our special forces detected a large batch of hazardous materials being transported across the border. They requested a researcher to help identify the substances so they could be dealt with on the spot. We sent Han Jie, but yesterday we received news that dozens of our special forces were killed, and Han Jie has gone missing...” Yang Yi explained, frowning deeply.

”Then what are you waiting for? Send the Sky Dragon Team or Hei Mian and his team!” Ye Tianchen said, not quite understanding.

”We’re short on someone who can truly handle this responsibility. As you know, things have been quite tense with Japan lately. It’s not just about Diao Xia Island; there’s more to it,” Yang Yi interjected.

”Tianchen, think about it, whether you want to personally head to the border!” Cang Lang also spoke up.

”No need to think, I’ll set off now!” Ye Tianchen stood up and said gravely.

Ye Tianchen agreed very readily, didn’t say much, nor did he put forth any conditions because the thought of Han Jie being in danger, possibly life-threatening, genuinely worried him.
