The Kind Wei Kan

Not bothered by what others thought of him, Yun Che walked to Xing Feng leisurely and sat down, and the latter took the cigarette from his mouth. Everyone thought that he was going to put it out for him, but he merely helped him shake off the soot before putting the cigarette back to his mouth. Everyone except Gu Mingxuan stared at them with their eyes wide open. Was this really the Xing Feng they knew? Could it be someone disguised as him?

"Where's Chenchen?"

Xing Feng, who had been treating them as non-existent, didn't bother about them. Yun Che took the cigarette and held it between his fingers before grinning, "He's playing with Heiyu, I'll pick them up later."

"Okay."

Xing Feng nodded after hearing what he said, and he could finally put his mind at ease when he saw nothing unusual about Yun Che.

"I heard you went out just now, Captain Yun? Isn't your squad taking the day off today?"

The more they ignored them, the more irrational Lin Xian became, turning a deaf ear to Wei Kan's warning.

The moment he spoke, not only Wei Kan, but other members of Wei Army also frowned. What was wrong with Lin Xian today? Was he out of his mind? Why had he become like this?

"Lin, although we are more than acquaintances, aren't you being too direct asking me about something so private? How am I supposed to answer you?"

Yun Che quietly tugged at the grim-faced Xing Feng while holding the burning cigarette between his fingers. What he meant was very obvious—where I went had nothing to do with you!

"We've waited more than two hours for you, Captain Yun."

Lin Xian stared at him coldly, having already lost his rationality. Even Wei Kan couldn't save him now, and the guys from Wei Army scowled at him. It was true that they as military guys didn't have to suck up to the captain of a superfunction squad, but they were here to ask for help today, and it was a little too much to be so hostile.

"Major General Lin, are you making me laugh? Did I ask you to wait? Or did I have an appointment with you and I stood you up on purpose?"

Yun Che smiled again after asking three questions in a row, leaving Lin Xian speechless and with blatant hatred in his eyes. Seeing that he had to do something before matters got worse, Wei Kan said with an awkward smile, "Captain Yun is right, we should have gotten in touch with you earlier. I heard that your squad is off today, is there a special occasion?"

At the same time, the guys sitting on the left and right of Lin Xian took the opportunity to stop him, or they would have made a wasted trip if they allowed him to go on.

"Well, it's my nephew's birthday, or we would be out collecting supplies instead of resting at home. Everyone's short of supplies, and we are not as lucky as you soldiers who have no lack of food. Even a small soldier can call the shots in the base, whereas I tremble when I see you generals."

Yun Che cast a meaningful glance at Lin Xian before looking away and saying with a smile, but his words sounded like mockery to the guys from Wei Army. Wei Kan, who almost couldn't hold the smile on his face, managed to force a laugh after a long while, "You're overexaggerating, Captain Yun. You could have informed us of this important occasion in advance so that we could prepare a gift."

A general conducted himself differently indeed—he could sound so upright even though he wished to skin you alive.

"Oh, it's just a little boy's birthday. But you brought so many people here today, Wei. Have you decided to let us have the research institute?"

Yun Che smiled innocently and immediately changed the topic to the research institute. As they had expected, Wei and Wang Armies had been holding on tightly to the research institute after Mo Wenyang gained control of the Superfunction Association. Xing Feng had been working on it for more than half a month, and they actually came knocking at their doors today. That was really very kind of Wei!

Others might just think that he was changing the subject, but Xing Feng knew him well enough to quickly realize his motive, and he looked at Yun Che with even more love in his eyes. Xing Feng had been racking his brains to find a breakthrough, and this was indeed a good way—so long as Wei Army backed off, they could ignore Wang Army's opinions.

"Captain Yun, let's get straight to the point. You should know our purpose of coming here. Just tell us what we must do before you return those two batches of supplies."

After giving it some thought and staring at Yun Che for a long time, Wei Kan came to a decision—so long as they could get back the two batches of supplies, he would just accept it even if he had to give up the ownership of the seemingly worthless research institute even though it could be of great importance in the future. Moreover, if Yun Che admitted to intercepting the supplies this time, he could work with others to bring down Peak Squad instead of compromising if the same thing happened again in the future. He could work around this and destroy the reputations of Chaoyang and Peak.

That was just wishful thinking on Wei Kan's part, for Yun Che raised his eyebrows with a puzzled expression on his face, "What supplies? I don't get you, Wei."

Yun Che wasn't stupid—he wouldn't admit to intercepting the military's supplies even if he really wanted to use them in exchange for the research institute. Did they think he didn't know they were laying a trap for him after he caught a glimpse of the arrogance and ruthlessness in Lin Xian's eyes?

"Captain Yun!"

Although Wei Kan had expected him to deny it, he was still annoyed when he heard Yun Che say that. He wouldn't have come here personally if he wasn't 100% sure, just that they didn't have any evidence, or they wouldn't be wasting their time here.

"Well Captain Yun, our army has had two operations to collect supplies since June, once at Dongwan Wharf and another time at Longping Salt Mine. But both times the supplies have been looted when our men arrived even though our drones had detected that all the things were there before we set off. According to our investigation, you happened to be resting at home both times, so…please don't make things difficult for us, Captain Yun. The supplies are very important to the base, please return them to us."

Afraid that Wei Kan couldn't get a hold of himself, a deputy next to him quickly said to Yun Che. Other than Yun Che, there was no one else in the base who could take away their supplies unnoticed before their men arrived.

"So you're saying I was the one who took those two batches of supplies away?"

Yun Che squinted his eyes before the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked as if this had nothing to do with him. The guys from Wei Army didn't know how to respond to him, and they probably would have believed him if it weren't for the fact that they were absolutely sure he was the culprit.

"Who else could it be other than you? Yun Che, those are military supplies. Do you know the consequences of robbing military supplies? We have the right to shoot you!"

After pulling himself away from the two guys holding him, Lin Xian suddenly stood up and glared at him with murderous eyes.

"Lin Xian, get out of here…"

"Clap clap clap…"

Wei Kan was trembling with anger, but Yun Che clapped and sneered, "Awesome, you sound like a general indeed, Major General Lin. But even so, you must have evidence for the things you say. Since you said I robbed you of your supplies, please show me the evidence. Let me also remind you that unowned supplies after the doomsday belong to everyone, so even if I really did take those two batches of supplies, I did it with my own capabilities. How could you say that I took the military's supplies? Did I take them away from your hands?

Who said those supplies had to be theirs? Now he wanted to see what Lin Xian was going to do to kill him.

"You…"

Lin Xian was speechless once again and fuming. He could still refute what Yun Che said earlier on, but he couldn't do the same for the words he said after that even if he hated Yun Che to the core.

"That's enough, Lin Xian, get out of here!"

Wei Kan stood up and pointed his finger at the door. Lin Xian was embarrassing all of them with his behavior. Did he really think the military still had the same power like it did before the doomsday? They were now facing Yun Che who had the support of two-thirds of the superfunction possessors in the base, and also Xing Feng and Mo Wenyang backing him up. Would he be intimidated by them so easily?

"Commander!"

"Scram!"

Although Lin Xian couldn't take it lying down, Wei Kan no longer gave him any opportunity to talk, for all of them would have to get out of here if Wei Kan continued messing things up.

"Humph!"

Before leaving, Lin Xian snorted at Yun Che and looked at him with murderous eyes. Yun Che, Xing Feng and Gu Mingxuan's eyes darkened—they couldn't spare a general who wanted to kill them. The three of them exchanged glances, thinking of the same thing without showing it.

"I'm sorry, Captain Yun, I've failed to take my subordinate in hand."

As a lieutenant general and the commander of an army, Wei Kan felt really awful having to apologize to the captain of a superfunction squad. However, he knew better than anyone else that there was no room for discussion if he didn't take the initiative to apologize.

"Indeed you have, I think Lin is simply out of his mind? He was barking like a mad dog!"

Showing no mercy with his words, Yun Che sighed again and continued before the guys from Wei Army could react, "I understand your frustrations after the supplies that you wanted to collect got taken away, but I have nothing to do with it. I'm just the captain of an insignificant superfunction squad, how would I dare to take away the supplies that the military were eyeing on? How about this? I'll give you guys supplies of the same amount as those two batches, but you have to transfer the ownership of the research institute to Chief Xing in exchange."

Seeing that it was almost half past eleven, Yun Che didn't want to waste anymore time with them. His little nephew's birthday was much more important than them.

"Ownership of the research institute? You're really greedy, Captain Yun."

Wei Kan squinted his eyes even though he had come prepared. They still didn't know why Xing Feng suddenly wanted the ownership of the research institute, and he had requested it on behalf of the Xing family back in the capital. If it weren't for the fact that they had already gotten control of the Superfunction Association, he wouldn't mind doing this as respect to the Xing family. However, now that the Superfunction Association was already under the Mo family, they would be at a losing end if the research institute also went under them..

Yun Che deliberately let out a deep sigh before suddenly reaching to hold Xing Feng's chin and lamenting, "Well, Chief Xing loves studying those weird stuff recently. Look at him, Wei, don't you think he has lost weight? It pains me to see him like this."

"Pah!"

"Haha…"

The annoyed Xing Feng smacked Yun Che's hand that was turning and showing his head to the army guys. Yun Che then let out a laugh and grabbed him, leaving the guys from Wei Army dumbstruck. Did Xing Feng even lose weight? Did he have to be so pretentious acting lovey-dovey?
