My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1340: Li Muyang Comes Looking

A candlelit dinner with an old third wheel present won’t be very romantic.

But for the two of them, it’s still a nice memory.

In the following two days, Yang Chen followed Gao Zhenggen in learning.

The young man might be full of energy, but Gao Zhenggen couldn’t keep up. His stamina couldn’t handle long hours, after all, he was a man in his seventies or eighties.

Then, Gao Zhenggen asked Yang Chen to focus on practicing knife skills.

Although Yang Chen had a good foundation in knife skills, with experience in cold weapons, crafting refined and masterful knife skills would still take some time.

During the time Yang Chen returned, even with the news being kept under wraps, it was hard to hide from certain interested parties.

During this time, people frequently came to visit, but they were all turned away.

Today, an old acquaintance arrived.

Li Muyang!

Li Muyang had been transferred to the Sea Region, his position had risen a bit, and he was highly regarded within the family.

Upon learning of Yang Chen’s return, he rushed back from the Sea Region to see Yang Chen personally.

"Yang Chen!" Li Muyang, upon seeing Yang Chen, first called out, then instinctively saluted.

He respected Yang Chen from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Chen returned the salute and smiled, "Why have you come?"

Li Muyang grabbed Yang Chen immediately, excitedly saying, "As soon as I heard you were back, I rushed back! You’ve sealed the news so tightly, if my family hadn’t received information, I wouldn’t have known! I heard you even found Ye Xin? It’s truly incredible! How did you find her?"

Li Muyang was very excited.

After all, they all thought Ye Xin was dead back then!

Only Yang Chen was still persevering.

Everyone thought he couldn’t accept the reality, that he couldn’t bear the blow.

But the unexpected happened; Yang Chen actually found Ye Xin!

This is truly unbelievable!

That’s why Li Muyang was so excited.

After all, Li Muyang considered Ye Xin a lifelong friend, and the Li family had a good relationship with the Ye family.

Ye Xin walked over, "Brother Muyang, this means we have a deep connection! Unlike the others who didn’t persist to the end!"

With that, Ye Xin came over and hooked her arm around Yang Chen’s, appearing very intimate.

Li Muyang saw Ye Xin, first excited, but upon hearing her words, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed and said with a bitter smile, "Given the circumstances back then, we couldn’t help but..."

"If everyone had to do what couldn’t be avoided, I would probably still be adrift outside now, and you’d never see me in your lifetime!" Ye Xin said, pouting displeasedly.

Li Muyang smiled bitterly, feeling ashamed in his heart.

If everyone had really given up, Ye Xin probably wouldn’t be here now. Even though Ye Xin wasn’t sacrificed, they might never have seen her again. The most terrifying thing is, she might have lived out her life somewhere unknown.

Li Muyang dared not imagine what might happen, the princess of the Ye family, drifting outside, living an idle life...

Li Muyang felt all the hair on his body stand up.

"Alright." Yang Chen patted Ye Xin’s head, smiling, "It’s all in the past, and I found you and brought you back."

"Hmph!" Ye Xin huffed coldly at Li Muyang and then leaned against Yang Chen like a docile kitten.

Li Muyang saw this and offered an awkward smile.

After all, he used to pursue Ye Xin.

Although now he no longer harbors such thoughts, knowing he can’t compete with Yang Chen, Ye Xin’s docile behavior in front of Yang Chen still felt peculiar...or perhaps envious!

Li Muyang was invited in, and the three sat together with lots to talk about.

Li Muyang inquired about Yang Chen and Ye Xin’s experiences over the past year or so.

After hearing their stories, Li Muyang was full of admiration.

"You two are truly... If it had been someone else, the outcome likely would’ve been entirely different. Yang Chen, I admire you!" Li Muyang sincerely felt admiration.

If it had been him, he thought he might have submitted to fate, erect a tombstone for Ye Xin and mourn her silently every day. He definitely wouldn’t have been as resolute as Yang Chen, traversing the length of the country alone to eventually find Ye Xin.

He asked himself and concluded he absolutely couldn’t have done it.

For such resolve and such deep emotion, Li Muyang felt inferior and full of admiration!

Yang Chen just smiled; he didn’t need anyone’s admiration, he only needed Ye Xin to stay by his side in safety, away from any danger.

"And you? Why were you transferred to the maritime guard, that’s quite a career shift!" Yang Chen laughed.

"Don’t underestimate me!" Li Muyang said, "After all, I was trained under a special guard program, adaptable in sea, land, and air units, drop me anywhere, and I can quickly adapt!"

Being from a guard family, the expectations are exceedingly strict, undergoing rigorous guard-style management and training since childhood, fostering extraordinary qualities.

From land to sea guard, he can fully manage.

"Blowhard!" Ye Xin muttered under her breath, "You couldn’t even beat me back then, yet you brazenly brag!"

Even though Ye Xin’s voice was quiet, with only the three of them present, it was clear enough to hear every word.

Li Muyang’s face instantly grew awkward, quickly saying, "The reason for joining the sea guard was the past maritime incident, necessitating enhanced defenses. In the future, the sea will also become a main battlefield and development target, a good opportunity. My family saw the opportunity and assigned me there, so I’m standing guard at the door for our country!"

Yang Chen nodded solemnly, "The sea is our nation’s frontier, you guys are working hard!"

"Oh!" Li Muyang said, "Working hard, that’s what we ought to do, once you’ve enlisted, you must guard your post! As long as we’re here, nobody steps foot into Flame Country! Our mission in this life, since we carry this mission, there’s no talking of hard or easy! No regrets joining Flame Country!"

"Well said!" Yang Chen was full of respect for Li Muyang too; no regrets joining Flame Country! At this moment, he felt Li Muyang was a true guard, burning with the guard spirit!

Unlike other Jin Chen family members, Li Muyang was a real guard!

Within these families, having someone like Li Muyang means there’s still hope.

The superstructure dictates the economic base; at any moment, the rise or fall of the nation hinges on the superstructure, as it has since ancient times.

If the upper structure faces issues, the lower structure inevitably collapses; a skyscraper, with unstable upper layers and nonexistent lower layers, is sure to tumble.

Having someone like Li Muyang ensures Flame Country’s doors are at least secure.

"You didn’t know, did you?" Li Muyang looked at Yang Chen, "Last time during your mission, the maritime support was dispatched by me. I had an important task back then and couldn’t go, otherwise, I would have come to find you long ago!"

Yang Chen was taken aback; he really didn’t know.

Ye Xin pouted, "If I hadn’t called you, where would you have found the opportunity? One of the warships was even conveniently handed over to you guys!"

Li Muyang, hearing this, felt awkward, scratched his head, and chuckled.

It was his personnel indeed, but his reports were far larger than his actual contributions.
