My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 1000 - 999: Unwilling to Be a General (2/2)

After the people from the Zhou family left, Yang Chen signaled the old chief and the big leader to sit on the sofa.

"How did you know I was here?" Yang Chen's first question was this.

Because so far, not many know he's here. Even the dean and Elder Zhuo don't know, and the well-connected Ye family is also unaware.

The big leader smiled wryly, "It was Old Zou who asked me, and that's how I found out."

Yang Chen was taken aback, suddenly recalling, "You mean the father of the Boxing King, Elder Zou?"

"That's right, it's him." The big leader nodded.

Yang Chen nodded slightly and didn't pursue the question further.

The old chief straightened up and said to Yang Chen, "Our search operation is still ongoing, rest assured, as long as I'm in office for a day, the search will not stop."

Yang Chen glanced at him but did not respond.

Since this matter started because of him, Yang Chen didn't feel any goodwill towards the old chief.

Seeing Yang Chen ignoring him, the old chief felt a bit embarrassed.

The big leader was shocked; he knew the old chief had come with sincerity this time but didn't expect such determination.

The big leader took advantage and said, "Yang Chen, you're aware of the current situation domestically; we need someone like you to transform it. I think it would be a great start to make Flame Country more glorious."

Yang Chen shook his head, "My original purpose of joining the Guard was to make Flame Country safer, so no one dares to invade. Making Flame Country prosperous and strong is your business. I'm only responsible for fighting, and I've fought enough; it's time for me to rest. Sorry, I'm not interested in titles."

Wei Xueqing, beside him, was a bit worried.

She knew the identity of the two elders in front of her, but Yang Chen refused so decisively, causing her concern.

But Yang Chen refused, and decisively.

Seeing this, the old chief didn't say more.

He only needed to express his intentions; after all, there was so much behind Yang Chen, not just a lot but strong, making him cautious.

Seeing this, the big leader said, "Yang Chen, you should understand the situation in Ancheng. I suggest you leave; it's too dangerous here. If you must stay, I'll send people to protect you."

Yang Chen sneered, "Do you think I don't even have the ability to protect myself?"

"Ah!" The big leader felt embarrassed.

"See them out!" Yang Chen said lightly.

Sword Edge and Night Fire immediately stood up and looked at the old chief and big leader.

The two didn't say much, sighed, and turned to leave.

They knew Yang Chen still couldn't let go of past events.

These, only time could heal.

They were helpless but powerless.

Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing and said, "Have you heard of 'A General's Success Is Built on the Bones of Ten Thousand'?"

"Of course, I've heard, but..."

Yang Chen stopped her, "If I become Captain, it'll be because I stepped over my brothers' bones!"

Wei Xueqing was taken aback, looking at Yang Chen in surprise.

Yang Chen stood up and told Wei Xueqing, "Maybe you've also heard, 'A guard who doesn't want to be Captain isn't a good guard,' but I want to tell you, a guard who can't protect his comrades isn't a good guard, and a Captain who can't protect his subordinates isn't a good Captain! Between titles and brothers, I hope my brothers can stand alive before me, instead of me stepping over their bones to stand in the so-called Captain position admired by all!"

Finished, Yang Chen strode back to his room and slammed the door shut.

Wei Xueqing froze on the spot, somewhat stunned.

The Mastiff softly persuaded, "President Wei, don't be mad. When things went wrong before, the boss charged onto the artificial sea to kill the old chief; but considering the overall situation, he didn't act… You know our boss values loyalties, and seeing the old chief again inevitably reminds him of the brothers lost at sea, causing him pain… Don't take it to heart!"

Wei Xueqing glanced at the Mastiff and nodded slightly.

She looked at Yang Chen's room, feeling a bit sour inside.

She seemed to understand something.

Understood why Yang Chen left for a year, why he humbled himself to work as a security guard at a school, and why he acted carefree, as if nothing bothered him.

Actually, he had more on his mind than anyone, deeper emotions than anyone, but he didn't want others to see and worry, so he shouldered it all himself.

Only he knew what he had endured.

Wei Xueqing couldn't imagine how Yang Chen fell asleep each night.

When her father passed away, the time was the darkest in her life, but with Yang Chen accompanying her, she got through it.

However, what Yang Chen faced was brothers leaving him one by one, and the few remaining buried at sea, causing deep pain in his heart, which Wei Xueqing couldn't comprehend.

Thinking about it, Wei Xueqing picked up a bottle of red wine, went to Yang Chen's door, knocked, and said, "The red wine has been decanted; if you don't drink it, it'll go to waste. If you're fine, just drink it!"

After speaking, Wei Xueqing waited for a while, seeing no movement inside, thought, and left the bottle at the door, then turned to go upstairs.

Shortly after, the door opened slightly, a hand reached out and took the bottle in.

That night, it was hard to sleep.

On the other side, in Ancient City, at Dongpo, the Zhang family. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Left Envoy Yang sat by the bonfire, chatting with the family.

In front of the bonfire were young men and women dancing, while others seated cross-legged with instruments accompanied them.

The Zhang family was said to have elegant tastes, but surprisingly they hosted guests with such a wild style.

Drinking wine, Left Envoy Yang listened to the news from Ancheng brought by the steward.

"The Guard went to First-Grade Kingdom?" Left Envoy Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, sneered, "Seems like this Yang Chen has quite an identity."
