Was Peak Squad a Squad of Royal Princes?

Everyone was very busy. After having lunch with the old man, Xing Feng and Yun Che took the team to leave. In the afternoon, they took a tour in the base. Most of the survivors in the base knew them, and they attracted much attention. When Yun Che mentioned that he wanted to get some seafood and take it back to the southwest, the survivors enthusiastically offered what they had for free. Yun Che was touched, but he insisted on trading the seafood with rice and flour.

"It seems that the zombies won't gather around the base again anytime soon. Sea beasts are the biggest problem in the coastal area, but we can't resolve this problem once and for all. They have to deal with it on their own. Do you have any unfinished business here?"

They had been staying here longer than planned because of Yun Che's personal affairs. They should collect Heiyu's equipment and get back to the southwest as soon as possible, where was their base camp.

"Not much. I just need to get some seawater for research. Let's go to Hanghai City tomorrow. Once we collect the equipment, we can return to the southwest."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Yun Che looked up at Xing Feng while tapping on his mobile phone. He was texting his sister. They hadn't contacted each other for half a month, and Yun Yao must be worried.

"Don't you want to stay in the coastal base for a few more days?"

Xing Feng was surprised. Indeed, it was about time for them to leave, but he thought Yun Che would want to spend some more time with his grandfather and Weiye.

"The southwest is less than two thousand kilometers away from the coastal base. We can come here anytime if we want. We should head back to the southwest as soon as possible. After all, we've been away for almost 20 days. I heard that the land of the base had been contracted out. We should pay a visit to Wei Kan and the others when we get back. I already started to miss them."

If Wei Kan and Wang Wei had heard this, they would stomp with rage and slap him in the face. Nobody wanted to be missed by him. They wished he would die outside instead of going back to be their pain-in-the-ass.

"Haha…"

Xing Feng chuckled involuntarily. Yun Che might be the only one that would make two thousand kilometers sound like a short distance. Having finished texting his sister, Yun Che put out the cigarette and stood up to stretch. "We've gained a lot in visiting the coastal base. If there is anything to complain about, it's the pain Heiyu has caused me. I swear I'll beat the shit out of him when he wakes up."

"Uncle, don't beat Uncle Heiyu. It will hurt."

Upon hearing that, Chenchen, who was sitting on the sofa and playing with a toy, crawled into his arms and looked at him. This little boy had established a strong relationship with Heiyu.

"Alright, I won't beat him. I'll just torture him."

That beast needed to be taught a lesson no matter what.

Yun Che was still upset. If it weren't for the lesson that he had learned from the last time, he would be worried about Heiyu now. There was no worse contracted beast than Heiyu in this universe.

"But…"

Despite his young age, Chenchen knew that torturing would make a person hurt as well. However, before Chenchen could say anything, Leng Yehan carried him over and said with an awkward look, "There is something I've been keeping from you guys for a long time. My father is Liu Xizhao."

Liu Xizhao? The head of the state?!

So, he was a prince?

Upon hearing that name, everyone in the living room widened their eyes in shock. Some time ago, when they learned from Tan Jianting that Leng Yehan's mother was Leng Mei, the last person from the Leng clan that had been in power, they figured that his father wouldn't be a nobody. However, it never occurred to them that his father would be Liu Xizhao, the only one that had been the president of China for three consecutive sessions. To their knowledge, Liu Xizhao only had one daughter. If Leng Yehan was his son, that would make him the president's only male heir.

"Did General Leng die of unnatural cause?"

Thinking about Leng Yehan's personality and the fact that Leng's troops fell into Liu's hands after Leng Mei died, Yun Che narrowed his eyes and asked.

Leng Yehan shook his head and looked away. "There is nothing suspicious about my mother's death, but she died after years of depression. As her son, I'm angry about what has happened to her, but I have to admit that she did that to herself. When she met Liu Xizhao, that man is already married. She chose to be his mistress, so she has to suffer the consequences. If I blame anyone, that would be Liu Xizhao. He used my mother to get the Leng's military power. When she passed away, he didn't even come to pay his respect. At the time, I decided that he's no longer my father."

Regardless of what kind of woman his mother was, she was still his mother. After she passed away, Leng Yehan had been depressed for a long time. Later, Yun Cheng found him and brought him back to the dormitory. He fell in love with Yun Cheng and finally pulled himself together to start a new life. He didn't want to tell anyone about this secret, but he had to when they were dealing with the Yun Yao thing, with which Liu Xizhao was somehow involved.

The others remained silent. As he said, Leng Mei chose the path herself, but it didn't make Liu Xizhao forgivable. Leng Mei wasn't the only woman he had hurt. He didn't deserve any power or a good reputation.

"Your mother must love him very much."

Only love would make a woman in power willingly become a man's mistress.

"I guess she did. Some love, right?"

Leng Yehan didn't want to judge his mother. He just felt resentful. That man started to use her from the very beginning, and he didn't even come to say goodbye when she passed away. Why on earth would she love someone like that? His mother was a silly woman, and that distorted relationship ruined her entire life.

"I can't pretend to know how she felt. All I can say is that she shouldn't have trusted the wrong person. Have you ever thought about taking back the military power?"

The romantic relationship of Leng's parents was not Yun Che's concern. He only cared about what Leng Yehan wanted. If Leng Yehan wanted to take back the military power, he would spare no effort to help him.

"How? My mother told me to stay out of power struggles before she passed away. She wanted me to be happy, instead of being a victim of politics like her. She didn't want me to repeat her mistake. I kept her subordinates' contact info after my mother passed away because I didn't want to let go. But after I met Cheng, I've decided to move on. However, now that I've learned about what has happened to Yun Yao, if, I mean, if you need me, I can go and find my mother's former subordinates and ask for their help. I believe they won't say no to me."

Leng Yehan looked Yun Che in the eye with determination. He considered himself a part of Yun's family, and he would do anything for them, including revealing his birth origin.

"I need to think about it. We can talk about this later."

To get his revenge, Yun Che was willing to take advantage of almost every resource he had, but he wouldn't force his family to do anything they didn't want to. Leng Yehan was his brother's lover, and, according to his dream, the man died protecting his brother in his previous life. He didn't want Leng Yehan to sacrifice for them anymore.

"You guys are my family and the only people that matter to me. I don't give a damn about what others would think."

Knowing what was on his mind, Leng Yehan added in a determined tone. He wouldn't give a damn about the scandal of being an illegitimate son.

"I know. I'll think about it."

Yun Che nodded with a smile. Obviously, he didn't want to continue this topic anymore, so Leng Yehan didn't say anything else. Leng Yehan gave Chenchen back to Yun Che and took Yun Cheng away to play video games. Suddenly, Ye Xingchen came closer and carried Chenchen from Yun's arms, which was exactly what Leng Yehan had just done. Yun Che covered his forehead with his hand, saying, "Don't tell me that you're a prince, too."

What was going on today? Was this a meeting of confession?

"Nah, of course not. Even if I were a prince, I would be a prince that had been exiled. Well, the master of the Ye clan in the capital is my grandpa. My father is his eldest son, who has been a lieutenant general since before the doomsday. My grandfather's children are all government officials, while my mother is the eldest daughter of the Shu clan. After my parents were divorced, my mother married a subordinate of her father. I left my parents long before they started their new families respectively, so there aren't many people who know about my relations with the Ye and the Shu clan."

Because of his prestigious family background, no matter how famous he had become, his parents always thought of him as an actor that had humiliated them.

"Well…"

Sure enough, another prince.

Both the Ye and the Shu clan were prestigious clans in the capital base. Each of them had a group army and an influential position in the capital base. The descendant of those two clans was as noble as a royal prince. Holy shit! What kind of people had he recruited? Maybe Peak Squad should change its name to the Squad of Royal Princes.

"Is there anyone else from a prestigious clan? If there is, come clean now. Don't drop the bomb out of the blue. I'm gonna have a heart attack because of you guys."

Yun Che glanced over his teammates one by one, wondering how many royal princes were hiding in his team. Of course, regardless of what kind of family backgrounds they had, as the members of Peak Squad, they were under his command.

"Don't look at me. I'm a Zhou, but I have nothing to do with that Zhou clan."

Zhou Zeyu rolled his eyes as he said, showing how much he despised that clan.

"Haha…"

Amazed by his funny look, the others laughed. Suddenly, Jiang Shang raised his hand, which made Yun Che's eyelids twitch. "Don't tell me that you're indeed a royal prince."

Come on. Another one? He was just kidding.

"Prince?"

Jiang Shang didn't quite follow, and he continued, "My father, the boss of Longteng."

"Fuck me!"

Yun Che blurted. Longteng Group was the leading company in the IT industry of China, and it was also well-known in the world. The heir of the boss of Longteng Group definitely counted as a prince.

These princes sure knew how to hide their secrets. Learning the truth after being kept in the dark for a long time, Yun Che was astonished.
