Chapter 336 Ye Xin Arrives (1/6)
At the foot of Great Heap Mountain.
Zheng Tianhan was getting a bit worried.
It was already past six, and the sky was about to get completely dark. The situation on the mountain would only become worse.
Still, there had been no sign of movement. Could something have really gone wrong?
Just as Zheng Tianhan was steeped in worry, a sudden burst of engine noise came from behind.
Zheng Tianhan quickly turned his head, only to see a white Land Rover speeding towards him at such a pace that it felt like it was going to crash right into him!
The car didn't slow down at all, skidding to a stop right there.
Zheng Tianhan's heart jumped, and he quickly pulled out his weapon, aiming it at the car.
It was hard to say whether Gao Hong's jailbreak had external assistance or not. The identity of the newcomer was unclear, so caution was necessary.
Standing beside Zheng Tianhan, Miss Zhao watched the car warily.
Seeing the car, Li Muyang quickly got out and was about to speak to the two when someone alighted from the vehicle.
Sleek long legs gracefully touched the ground. Even some men driving Land Rovers couldn't directly step down from the seat and onto the ground, but this woman could!
Then, a stunning face emerged from the car, leaving Zheng Tianhan so dazed that he could hardly look away.
This woman...was too beautiful!
And her figure, so elegant and well-proportioned, was simply perfect!
Li Muyang shouted, "Xinxin, why are you here?"
Ye Xin's gaze swept over Zheng Tianhan and Miss Zhao, who were pointing guns at her, and then landed coldly on Li Muyang. In a chilly voice, she said, "Where's Yang Chen?"
"On the mountain, how did you..." Li Muyang felt something was off; Ye Xin's gaze was too cold.
"On the mountain? He went up alone?" Ye Xin walked towards Li Muyang.
Feeling the aura emanating from Ye Xin, Li Muyang involuntarily took a step back, "That person is with Yang Chen, so..."
"So you let him take such a risk?" Ye Xin grabbed Li Muyang by the collar, pulling him close and glaring at him.
Miss Zhao and Zheng Tianhan were terrified.
But Li Muyang was a Major!
What identity did this woman have to dare lay hands on a Major!
Immediately, Zheng Tianhan shouted at Ye Xin, "Let go of him!"
Sun Yue also drew her gun, pointing it at the two of them, "You two put down your weapons, or I won't mind blowing you away!"
Zheng Tianhan, seeing this situation, was nearly dumbfounded.
What was going on?
This beautiful woman also had a weapon?
Miss Zhao shouted angrily, "You put your weapons down first! Do you even know who you're dealing with here?"
Sun Yue sneered, staring at the two of them, "And do you know who you're pointing your guns at?"
"This..." The two hesitated.
They thought that the woman in front of them dared to do this, her identity was by no means simple, perhaps even...more powerful than Li Muyang!
Li Muyang immediately spoke in a deep voice, "You two, put your guns down!"
Zheng Tianhan frowned, "But..."
"Didn't you hear me? Put your guns down!" Li Muyang scolded.
Zheng Tianhan sighed, looking at Miss Zhao and signaling her to put away her gun.
Seeing this, Sun Yue also holstered her weapon, coldly watching the two of them.
"Xinxin." Li Muyang looked at Ye Xin and said, "It was Yang Chen's own choice. No one forced him. I think you understand him better than I do, knowing his character. Even if I didn't say anything, he would still do it."
"You don't need to tell me that!" Ye Xin abruptly let go of Li Muyang, pushing him so that he staggered back and nearly fell.
"If!" Ye Xin stared at Li Muyang, "If anything happens to Yang Chen, I won't forgive you!"
With that, Ye Xin strode towards the mountain.
Sun Yue followed closely behind.
Zheng Tianhan, seeing this, hurriedly said, "Major, this..."
Li Muyang shook his head, "Let her go!"
Zheng Tianhan and Miss Zhao were completely confused about the layers of relationships going on. They were truly baffled.
Ye Xin, sensing Sun Yue catching up, chided, "You stay down here and wait, I'll go up myself!"
"But..." Sun Yue frowned.
"No buts! That's an order!" Ye Xin snapped.
"Alright then!" Sun Yue sighed, stopping in her tracks and watching Ye Xin head up the mountain.
...
On the other side, Yang Chen and Gao Hong were making their way down the mountain.
As they walked, Gao Hong asked, "Boss, where did you all end up going afterward? I heard our base was cleared out."
Yang Chen replied in a deep voice, "Afterwards, we started carrying out missions. We almost never returned to the base. Besides, that was just a training base. We had no use for it anymore."
After a pause, Yang Chen added, "I heard the Wolf Fang Guard has been reopened. I guess the base has probably been reactivated by now."
"Rebuilding the Wolf Fang?" Gao Hong furrowed his brows, pursuing the question, "What about our people?"
Yang Chen glanced at Gao Hong, a proud smirk creeping onto his face, and said, "Do you think, after going through life-and-death ordeals and the baptism of war, they are still mere Wolf Fangs?"
Gao Hong, bewildered, asked, "If they aren't Wolf Fangs, then what are they? Once a Wolf Fang, always a Wolf Fang!"
Yang Chen glared at him and said, "Do you really think after five years, after so many battles and life-and-death experiences, they would be the same as before? Do you think they're like your current skills? To put it bluntly, you, in front of them now, are like a fresh recruit from the New Guard! Their title is no longer Wolf Fang but has become a new unit, standing at the pinnacle of the Flame Country's special forces. Their name alone, when it appears on the battlefield, is enough to strike fear into enemies' hearts, even making them retreat without a fight! They are the Flame Country's Edge, the Flame Country's Blade, unbeatable and unstoppable by anyone!"
Listening to this, Gao Hong felt a surge of hot blood, urged on, "Then what is it? Boss, don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly, what is it called?"
Hearing how formidable his brothers had become over the years, Gao Hong was also stirred, eager to meet them now, to join them and bask in this glory.
Yang Chen chuckled coldly, glanced at Gao Hong, and calmly said, "With your current status, you have no right to know."
"Come on!" Gao Hong said miserably, "I was their fellow disciple; how can I not have the right to know?"
Yang Chen sneered, "Because they are the Flame Country's elite Guard force, and you...are just a murderer!"
Gao Hong froze, stopping in his tracks involuntarily.
True, his comrades were now heroes on the battlefield, honored guards, and he...was just a murderer in a cell.
"Did I do something wrong?" Gao Hong asked, his head bowed.
Yang Chen stopped, looked at Gao Hong, sighed, and slowly said, "You didn't do anything wrong, in this matter, you weren't wrong. The fault was mine; I failed to prevent it from happening, which was my responsibility. So I tell you truthfully, about this matter, I owe you all. But when all is said and done, when we face it rationally, you acted impetuously. The Vipers were indeed our enemies, but how many people did you kill? How many did I kill? How many Vipers did our brothers end up killing? So why do we now have honors and have become heroes, while you are merely a convict trapped in a cage?"
