Chapter 566: Chapter 565: [What Do You Need These Top-Secret Documents For?]

[PS: The first update today is here, please vote for recommendations!!!]

”What do you need these materials for?” Liu Rumei couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Originally, Liu Rumei thought that Ye Tianchen had come to see her about the incident that happened years ago, an incident that had always troubled her. She indeed found it hard to let go, not because she harbored unresolved hatred, but because she couldn’t stomach being manipulated like that. She felt a need to settle the score. Both she and Ye Tianchen were victims of that incident. After it happened, the astute Liu Rumei realized something was odd. However, at that time, she was powerless and couldn’t uncover the real culprit, so she wrongly let Ye Tianchen take the blame. The Liu family needed to preserve their reputation, and since Liu Rumei was a kind girl who didn’t want to hurt the innocent, she pleaded on Ye Tianchen’s behalf; otherwise, he might have lost his life when he visited the Liu family that day.

In any case, there were definitely problems with the incident from that year because, within half an hour of occurring, the news had spread throughout Capital City. Liu Rumei sensed something was off but couldn’t discuss it with anyone else, not even her own grandfather or family because of her status. As a girl, and the most beautiful woman in Capital City, having her body seen by Ye Tianchen, she was viewed as a victim by everyone. Thus, she had to pretend to be very sad and heartbroken; otherwise, people would label her as promiscuous. This is the way the world works. Just because Liu Rumei was considered the utmost beauty of Capital City, if it had been an ordinary beauty exposed in such a manner, it might not have caused much of a stir. In this day and age, not to mention seeing a woman naked, even going as far as sleeping directly with someone wasn’t a big deal; everyone was quite open-minded about such affairs.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen’s late-night visit was not about that past incident; surprisingly, he wanted information about the US military bases in New York. What did he want to do with it? That was the question in Liu Rumei’s mind.

”It’s useful, I guess. I know you have it, so I came to ask you. I need to know exactly how many US military bases there are in New York and their precise locations,” Ye Tianchen said as he sat on the sofa, taking a drag of his cigarette.

”You don’t want to tell me?” Liu Rumei glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked.

”If I wanted to tell you, I naturally would, and if I don’t, I have my reasons. You just need to give me this information!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Do you think I will definitely tell you? Why should I tell you? You don’t trust me, nor do you treat me as a friend,” Liu Rumei said irritably.

Ye Tianchen was stunned momentarily. He hadn’t expected Liu Rumei to say such a thing. In his view, even if they had been framed in the past, it was a fact that the incident had happened. Even if there was no enmity between them, becoming friends and interacting with each other would still be somewhat awkward, especially since the image of Liu Rumei’s fiery and perfectly curved body was enough to make his nose bleed just thinking about it.

What Ye Tianchen didn’t understand was that, in a girl’s heart, it’s not the big issues that mattered but rather the details. In Liu Rumei’s view, there was no enmity between her and Ye Tianchen, but she was somewhat upset just remembering how he had once seen her body. During their collaboration in the US, if not for Ye Tianchen, she might not even say whether she could have swapped the nuclear weapons data, but whether she would have survived to return home. So, thinking about these things somewhat offset the past incidents, which were now long gone anyway.

Since the mission before last, apart from once seeking out Ye Tianchen due to the old incident since he too was involved, she had not sought him out again. This time she had thought that Ye Tianchen, that guy, might have some good news when seeking her out, but it turned out to be another favor he needed. Despite his increased strength and transcendence, his unreliability hadn’t changed at all.

”The last time we went to the US to exchange nuclear weapons data, I was the one protecting you. Without me, you would have been dead, so I’ve already helped you once. This time it’s your turn to help me; we can consider it even, no debts owed,” Ye Tianchen said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

”You... it’s too much. Did you clear up the thing we were framed for back then?” Liu Rumei asked irritably.

”I’ve got some clues about the incident. It was indeed the doing of the young master from the Longteng family. As for why he did it, I think I’ll understand once I find this young master and learn about his background,” Ye Tianchen replied.

”If you want to know about the US military presence in New York, why come to me? You’re well connected with the national authorities now, just ask them,” Liu Rumei said unhappily.

Ye Tianchen looked at Liu Rumei, got up, took a piece of watermelon from the coffee table without any reservation, and started eating before he said, ”That’s what you don’t understand. If I asked them, I’d owe them a favor, and if they needed something later, I couldn’t refuse. I’m someone who values loyalty, unlike you. Last time I helped you, this time you help me, and we’re even, owing nothing to each other.”

Indeed, Ye Tianchen had his reasons for visiting Liu Rumei. He wanted to obtain information about the M country’s military forces stationed in New York. He could have probably asked Vice Chairman Yang Yi or the number one leader, who certainly possessed such information, but Ye Tianchen didn’t want to do that. To tell the truth, it wasn’t that he was being oversensitive, but rather that he genuinely didn’t want to get too tangled up with the state, as he had his own matters to attend to. A person’s life is filled with emotions and desires; it’s impossible not to have any ties at all. However, too many ties could restrain one’s freedom, which is why Ye Tianchen had even turned down the position of captain of the Heavenly Gang War General team, clearly showing his determination.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Rumei was so angry that she fiercely glared at him and stormed into the next room, slamming the door shut with a bang, leaving Ye Tianchen somewhat baffled. He had only spoken the plain truth; if she didn’t want to tell him, then so be it. Why was Liu Rumei so furious?

”Yong Chun Tai, has Liu Rumei taken the wrong medicine or something? Why is she suddenly so angry?” Ye Tianchen asked, somewhat speechlessly.

Yong Chun Tai took a look at Ye Tianchen and couldn’t help but shake his head. He marveled at Ye Tianchen’s unfathomable strength but lamented his absolute lack of emotional intelligence. He also felt sorry for Liu Rumei. Some things just couldn’t be easily expressed. How could a girl bring herself to say such things outright? Moreover, considering the complicated past between Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei, it was no wonder Lui Rumei got so angry, leaving Yong Chun Tai feeling helpless and sighing.

”Can’t you, boy, raise your emotional intelligence just a little? The incident back then was a misunderstanding. Afterward, you saved Rumei several times, so in her heart, she has come to regard you as a friend, and even has already... Sigh, you figure it out yourself, I’m too lazy to explain further,” Yong Chun Tai said, ending with a sigh and walking away.

”Hmm?”

Ye Tianchen frowned. Although he wasn’t very emotionally savvy, luckily, he was quite smart. Hearing what Yong Chun Tai said, it seemed he had also understood something. Could it be because he had saved Liu Rumei’s life, the past incident was a misunderstanding, plus he had accidentally seen her body, which gradually made him occupy a special place in Liu Rumei’s heart? No way? Thinking about this, Ye Tianchen didn’t even dare to continue the thought, Liu Rumei and himself? To be honest, Ye Tianchen had never even dreamed of such a scenario. Otherwise, his attitude toward Liu Rumei wouldn’t have been what it was. But considering Liu Rumei’s angry demeanor and what Yong Chun Tai had said, it clearly meant something else. Oh my, Ye Tianchen was about to lose it...

Slap!

While Ye Tianchen was still pondering over this, Liu Rumei had already walked out of the room next door, slamming a folder down in front of him, and said without a pleasant expression, ”Here’s the information you wanted. Now leave, I don’t want to see you anymore!”

Ye Tianchen picked up the folder, then opened it to take a look. Inside were only three papers, but they detailed the military deployment of M country in New York, including the three major military bases. This was highly confidential information, probably obtainable only by the highest levels of the state and the Liu family. Such detailed intelligence was absolutely top secret for any nation, as even big countries like D, Y, E, and R would likely not possess such detailed information. It also highlighted China’s great strength, which M country was indeed taking very seriously.

”Not bad, quite detailed. Thank you. If I need this kind of information in the future, I’ll come to you,” Ye Tianchen grinned shamelessly as he spoke.

”You... jerk...” Liu Rumei, enraged, grabbed an apple from the coffee table and threw it at Ye Tianchen.

With quick reflexes, Ye Tianchen caught the apple and took a big bite, then said, ”This apple isn’t bad. Can I take a few home to eat?”

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Rumei was truly rendered speechless by him, speechless to the extreme. Was this guy unreliable or just a scoundrel? When he was serious, you wanted to flatten him, and when he was frivolous, you still wanted to flatten him!

”Get out!” Liu Rumei finally couldn’t bear it anymore and used her Beauty’s Lion Roar Skill to yell at Ye Tianchen.

”Hey, it’s just a few apples, is that necessary? We’re all friends here, aren’t you being a bit stingy?” Ye Tianchen chuckled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei’s originally angry and beautiful face showed a flicker of delight, but it quickly disappeared as she glared Ye Tianchen out of her house with her beautiful eyes.
