"This is what you called remarkable? Dude, you have such a low standard! This thick and this high, do you believe I can collapse it with just a punch?"
Hearing the words, Heiyu taunted, treating him as Yun Che. Yun Che chuckled resignedly upon noticing a flash of indifference on his brother's face. How come it felt like they were here to make trouble?
"Huh… Why don't you give it a shot?"
With a glimmer in his eyes, Yun Cheng didn't care about Heiyu's mockery at all. On the contrary, he teased Heiyu with excitement. Leng Yehan who sat behind him shook his head dotingly, finding it amusing.
"Enough. Stop teasing him. There's nothing he won't do. I don't want to do nothing but compensate for other people's loss soon after our arrival in the capital. Let's just get it."
If he didn't stop them, they might really pull down a house. Yun Che was angry and amused. Didn't they see the soldiers around them aim at them with energy guns?
Yun Cheng looked pitiful. After they entered the fence, five brand new cars drove in, followed by the mutant beasts with Ye Xingchen and other people on their backs. Eagle King with Chenchen on its back spun above people's heads. Who wouldn't believe that that wasn't a way of showing off? In the meanwhile, before Yun Che reported his identity, the president of China, major families in the capital, and some prestigious figures of the Capital Base had received calls from the east door of the base.
"Yao…"
Zhou Zhijun also had received a call. He sat in the office, looking miserable with the picture of him, Yun Yao and their son in his hand. Currently, how would he not feel shameful to meet her?
"Zhijun."
A lady's voice suddenly rang. The lady in her twenties wearing an A-line short dress came in the office. She looked gorgeous with her straight eyebrows, crystal eyes, tall nose, small mouth on her almond face. She had wavy hair that added to her charm, a perfect body curve, and two straight, fair legs. She was no one else but the only child of the president, Liu Yuan, the fiancee of Zhou Zhijun.
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at her with his head up, Zhou Zhijun hid the picture impatiently. He couldn't be blamed to show her a sullen face. If it was another man who had been set up like that, he couldn't possibly have shown her a happy face either. Zhou Zhijun couldn't wait to fly to the southwest when knowing that Yun Yao and their son were in the Southwest Base and that his two brothers-in-law survived and led a good life. However, Zhou Zhijun couldn't leave his parents like that. So he had agreed to set out after some arrangement. Unexpectedly, he had been drugged to have sex with Liu Yuan. Even so, he hadn't decided to abandon Yun Yao. But Liu Yuan actually got pregnant. What happened next was not in his charge. Like a puppet, he accepted the promotion of his military rank and the marriage at the mercy of the president's family.
As a superfunction possessor, Liu Yuan had a good eye. A touch of jealousy flashed in her eyes when she caught sight of him retracting the picture. She then walked over him and held him from behind. "Zhijun, why not me and our baby? I know it irritates you that my father set you up like that. But we have a baby and we are going to get married next month. Why do you still think about her? Is she really that good?"
Liu Yuan was a princess, a real one. But she hadn't fallen in love with a prince but a knight who had another girl in his mind. The shedding of tears represented that a princess was just an ordinary woman.
"You and the baby? I take care of you and the baby. Then who takes care of her and her son? Liu Yuan, don't tell me you've known nothing about the gross scheme from the beginning. You can't think a person as this foolish. Don't worry. I'll marry you and be responsible for you and the baby. And the rest, one word for you, impossible!"
Zhou Zhijun got off her hand . He stood up and turned to her. If a girl wasn't the right person, no matter how many tears she shed, a man would just have hatred against her. He would never ever show her any pity.
In the meantime in the Government Building of the Capital Base.
"You sure it's Peak?"
Hearing the report from his underling, Liu Xizhao put on a sullen look. He lost the contact with the man he put in the southwest army. Apparently, the man had been expelled. Wan Guoqiang seemed to have hypocritically catered to Liu Xizhao's wish by giving the response that he would keep an eye on the movement of Peak. Otherwise, why did Liu Xizhao hear nothing about Peak's journey to the Capital Base?
"I'm afraid so. They told me personally. And there was a talking mutant dog with them. The symbol of Yun Che."
The man in a nice suit was called Zhu Ping. As a member of Liu Xizhao's brain trust, Zhu Ping would naturally know how much Liu Xizhao hated to see Peak in the Capital Base, their captain Yun Che in particular.
"Ask the people of the east door to keep an eye on them and acquaint me at any time. Follow Peak even after they enter the base. Yuan and Zhijun's wedding will be held next month. Nothing can ever go wrong."
Liu Xizhao said after a while of meditation. Peak made a trip to the Capital Base in such a big way. That made it impossible for Liu Xizhao to attack them secretly on the contrary. As should be known, Yun Che was not only the brother of Yun Yao but the spouse of the third son of the Xing family. Although Senior Xing hadn't made a public statement, no one could change the marriage since Xing Feng would insist. Moreover, the Xing family had always concealed their faults by tyranny. It was one thing that they didn't acknowledge the marriage, but it was another thing that the family got insulted. Prudence was preferred.
"Yes. Sir, do you think we should give a heads-up to the Zhou family? And as for the Xing family, Feng's father has made a public statement that he wouldn't accept Yun Che as his son-in-law. It's said that Feng's father has tried to set up Feng and Zhou Zhijun's younger sister, Zhou Ting. Why don't we wait till the Xing family deals with Yun Che? Then we could take advantage of that."
Zhu Ping looked at the sullen face of Liu Xizhao and advised tentatively.
"Hmm… I didn't know that. Okay. You take care of this accordingly. Give a heads-up to the Zhou family too. But remember this. Don't get us exposed. The Xing soldiers are not lame."
With his eyebrows raised, Liu Xizhao finally softened his face a little. He was so busy dealing with all major families that he had no time for these trifles. Unexpectedly, Xing Tianyi had made a statement and even once picked Zhou Ting as his future daughter-in-law. Things would be interesting.
"Don't worry, sir. I know what to do."
Zhu Ping retreated smilingly. Liu Xizhao rethought about the conversation and put on a smile when he confirmed everything was right.
In the Ye family in the capital
"What? The Peak Squad of the southwest has reached the east door?"
Hearing the news, the Ye family couldn't stay calm. As was known, the third son of the Ye family, Ye Xingchen, was a member of Peak. The family had barely no contact with him these years, since he had refused to join the army as the family tradition but worked as a shameful actor instead. However, things changed now. Who didn't know Chaoyang and Peak Squads in the major bases all over the nation? Moreover, the captain of Peak, Yun Che, was the spouse of Xing Feng. If the Ye family built a good relationship with Peak, that meant a good relationship with the Xing family. This was a good chance.
"Yes, so has His Lord."
The soldier who reported said firmly. Ye Xingchen had been a household actor before the doomsday. Everyone could still recognize his face which was still flawless after the doomsday.
"Good. Xingyu, take people to pick up your brother at the base door."
Ye Yijin, Ye Xingchen's father, ordered decisively.
"Yijin, Xingchen comes back with his friends. How would other people think if you ask Xingyu to pick up only Xingchen? But if we pick up all of them, I'm afraid the Xing family would have a thought about that. Yun Che is the spouse of Xing Feng. No matter the Xing family admit that or not, since they've come back, the Xing family must take them back home. What do you think if we wait for two more days before picking up Xing Chen?"
Mrs. Ye was not happy to hear her husband's order to pick up the son of his and his ex-wife. But as the lady of a big family, she wouldn't show her unwillingness on the face. She made herself sound reasonable and logical.
"You've got a point. Let's wait then."
As expected, Ye Yijin nodded approvingly. He then added, "Anyways, Xingchen is the eldest son of mine. I can't let other people say that the Ye family has no manner. Qin, please go personally to welcome Xingchen home on behalf of the Ye family. Also, make it known that he's the eldest son of the Ye family."
"Yes."
The man in his 60s called Qin was Ye Yijin's former underling. Qin had been hurt at a young age, so Ye Yijin had taken him back home. Originally, Ye Yijin had thought it wasn't a big deal to raise a person with his family's ability. But as a firm and unyielding soldier of that age, how could Qin possibly allow himself to freeload? Therefore, he became the butler of the Ye family. But usually, not many people dared to treat him as a real servant.
The Shu family was in the same condition as the Ye family. After all, Ye Xingchen's mother was from the Shu family, so Ye Xingchen was also the heir of the Shu family. Nowadays, he had a different identity, which didn't humiliate the Shu family but was likely to bridge the Shu and Xing families. The Shu family certainly couldn't ignore his existence any more.
"You son of a bitch, are you trying to piss me off?"
Unlike the Ye and Shu families, a tension occurred in the Xing family. Xing Feng's father Xing Tianyi failed to react upon hearing the arrival of Peak. When he recalled what Peak was and who its captain was, he blew up like a dynamite. His curse could be heard all over the Xing house.
"Come on, Tianyi. He just married a man. What's the big deal? Quite a few men marry men after the doomsday, don't they?"
It wasn't the first time Xing Feng's mother had persuaded her husband. What had happened that year made their son break up with them. The guilt of Xing Feng's mother had made her overindulge her youngest son more, even though he hadn't felt grateful for that.
"That's woman's pity! How could our son marry a man?"
Her words made Xing Tianyi hit the roof. A fabulous lady, who somewhat resembled Xing Feng's appearance and looked just over 20 years old, said as she picked her fingernails, "Dad, stop that. Go yell at Feng if you have the guts."
"You brat, I'll beat you to death."
Hearing that, Xing Tianyi blew a fuse. He grabbed the cup from the table and threw it towards the lady. She avoided it easily and didn't forget to tease, "You just know to beat me."
"You bastard…"
"I'm a bastard, then who are you, dad?"
"You…"
Before he finished his words, the lady retorted. Xing Tianyi felt dizzy, with his finger shaking incessantly like a chicken with plague. Another man around 30, who looked a little like Xing Feng but had more composure, suddenly said, "Enough, Le. Dad is almost pissed off to death."
"If Dad is so easy to be pissed off to death, Feng has done that before. Don't worry, brother."
Xing Le took a look at her father who was terribly mad, but still put on a careless face. Xing Tianyi was this close to be irritated to death. How come other people's daughters treated their fathers with consideration but his daughter aimed to tick him off? What bad deeds on earth had he done?
