Qin Zhiyuan felt that Old Zhuo was right.

Since Ye Xin could have an arranged marriage with Yang Chen, it showed that the relationship between the two families was extremely good.

When that incident happened, Old Ye should have come out to stop it.

However, from start to finish, Old Ye did not appear, allowing the incident to happen.

This suggests that Old Ye might have tacitly approved it.

"So what do you suggest?" Qin Zhiyuan asked, his face full of worry.

"That depends on Yang Chen's previous abilities!" Elder Zhuo said in a deep voice.

"Previous?" Qin Zhiyuan couldn't understand what Old Zhuo was talking about.

Elder Zhuo looked at Qin Zhiyuan, and said in a deep voice, "You know that Yang Chen is a retired special forces guard, but you don't know that the squad he served in was the Wolf Fang Special Forces, and the instructor was my son, Zhuo Jingyu! Later, after Jingyu sacrificed himself, Yang Chen became the instructor. Then, Yang Chen went abroad to carry out various missions, which is also why he never contacted you and never returned."

Qin Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I know all this. The identity of a special forces member is unique, and that's completely normal."

Elder Zhuo shook his head, "No! This is not quite normal!"

Qin Zhiyuan looked puzzled.

Elder Zhuo continued, "The soldiers he led at the time were not ordinary, and after they went on missions, the Wolf Fang squad was disbanded. Later, a few years ago, there was bad news from abroad saying Yang Chen had died!"

"Died?" Qin Zhiyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten as he looked nervously at Old Zhuo.

Old Zhuo nodded and said solemnly, "At that time, it was said he died! Moreover, throughout his life, Yang Chen achieved numerous military victories, making him the first person after the founding of the country! His contributions to the country were entirely worthy of being entered into epic tales! But then the message came back saying he died, which made everyone involved feel very sad and disappointed. However, later on, a half-mast flag was raised for him and he was posthumously awarded the rank of Captain!"

"One-Star Captain!" When Qin Zhiyuan heard this title, he couldn't help but tremble all over, filled with excitement.

"That's right!" Old Zhuo's face also broke into a proud smile, "Our child is a Captain!"

"Captain... just wonderful! Just... absolutely wonderful!" Qin Zhiyuan was so excited that tears streamed down his face, "He finally fulfilled the dreams of our older generation!"

Actually, Elder Zhuo could also have been awarded a title, but he didn't want it. A large part of the reason was considering his old comrade's feelings.

Back then, Qin Zhiyuan was Elder Zhuo's squad leader, one rank higher than Elder Zhuo, and his dream was to become a Captain.

A guard who doesn't aspire to be a Captain isn't a good guard, so Qin Zhiyuan was an exceptional guard.

However, later on, as he wasn't suited for a political career, he chose to withdraw and undertake other tasks.

After the war ended, many people were displaced, including the children and elders of their fallen comrades who had no one to care for them.

Being able to shoulder this responsibility, Qin Zhiyuan was truly admirable.

His dream was to become a Captain, and with Yang Chen achieving it, it was as if his dream had come true.

"That's why I say, it depends on Yang Chen's previous abilities!" Elder Zhuo lowered his voice, "As far as I know, the team Yang Chen currently leads is the most elite guard in the entire Flame Country, also the most powerful force. If these people are willing to support Yang Chen, it would be a tremendous power!"

Qin Zhiyuan nodded deeply upon hearing this.

"If you add my resources, it might just barely compete with those people. The most important aspect is Old Ye's stance; if Old Ye tacitly approved what happened back then, it would be very troublesome. If Old Ye supports us, even if Yang Chen's identity is exposed, there would be no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiyuan nodded, and looking at Old Zhuo, he asked, "You mean..."

"I am going to Jin Chen's Ye family now, Saturday is Old Ye's ninety-ninth birthday, do you want to come with me?" Old Zhuo asked.

"Yes!" Qin Zhiyuan replied without hesitation, "I must go!"

This matter concerned Yang Chen's life and death, he couldn't turn a blind eye!

"Good!" Old Zhuo stood up, "Then let's set off!"

Qin Zhiyuan nodded, stood up, and began to pack his things.

After packing, the two walked out of the office, with Qin Zhiyuan locking the door behind them.

"Dean? Where are you going?" Chen Siyan asked when she saw them.

Qin Zhiyuan only then remembered that Chen Siyan was home alone and said, "Should we let Yanyan come along as well?"

Old Zhuo frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "No, let her stay at a friend's house!"

After all, this trip was too dangerous, and the little girl was safer at home.

Qin Zhiyuan thought the same, so he told Chen Siyan, "Yanyan, go stay at your Teacher Ding's house for a few days. Grandpa Zhuo and I are going to Jin Chen, we'll be back in a couple of days."

Chen Siyan pouted and asked, "Dean, has something happened?"

She wasn't dumb, her bright eyes had already sensed something was wrong.

"No! We're just accompanying Grandpa Zhuo to see old friends." Qin Zhiyuan replied.

"I don't believe it!" Chen Siyan replied, "You're definitely hiding something from me! If you don't tell, don't think about leaving!"

Seeing this, Qin Zhiyuan felt helpless.

Old Zhuo thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Silly child, we're going to your sister-in-law Ye Xin's house. They registered their marriage without informing the family, now the family wants to meet. Your brother and sister-in-law have gone to Jin Chen, and as their elders, we must go too!"

Old Zhuo's words were half-truth, half-lie, leaving Chen Siyan unable to discern.

"Then I can go too!" Chen Siyan said, "I'm also part of my brother's family!"

Old Zhuo said helplessly, "Silly girl, wait till we come back only then will you have a role to play, listen, stay at home for now, and we'll talk when we return."

"Well... okay!" Chen Siyan could only nod in agreement.

After Chen Siyan made arrangements with Ding Yutong over the phone, the two hurriedly got into a car and left.

Upon returning to the defense area, the special aircraft was already prepared.

The two, along with Li Muyang holding a potted plant, boarded the plane which took off shortly after.

At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Ye Xin's car had already entered the territory of Jin Chen, heading towards the Ye family's residence.

On the other side, Yang Chen's car was on the highway, having already seen the dazzling lights of the Pearl, Jin Chen was almost within reach.

However, at this moment, the Ye family in Jin Chen seemed quite different from usual.

In the Ye family's senior residential area, almost everyone was patrolling in twos and threes, the strong flashlight in their hands intermittently scanning the surroundings, extremely alert.

The sharp gaze of these guards was different from ordinary security guards, one look and it was clear they were retired from the Guard.

Outside the courtyard, there were also guards patrolling, even cameras on the wall were swiveling back and forth, looking as if they were preparing for a major enemy.
