Chapter 1344: Chapter 1342: Farewell
Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, who was leaning on his shoulder, with a gentle smile in his eyes. He reached out and rubbed Ye Xin’s little head, secretly thinking to himself, "Silly girl, everything I’m doing is for our future safety."
Ye Xin didn’t know, and Yang Chen didn’t want to put any psychological pressure on her.
In the evening, Master Ye had a chat with Yang Chen.
As Yang Chen had guessed, the Ye family and the Li family had reached some sort of agreement. Now the Li family and the Ye family stood on a united front.
Although it’s unclear what the Ye family promised to the Li family, Yang Chen knew very well that the Ye family had started to take action, proving their long-held ambition!
Perhaps due to certain factors, the Ye family had always hidden this ambition, possibly due to their inability to achieve it.
But now with the opportunity, since the Ye family has ambition, Yang Chen is willing to help them accomplish it.
The next day.
After getting up, Yang Chen still went to the kitchen to make breakfast under Gao Zhenggen’s guidance.
After finishing, he cleaned up the kitchen and went outside to see Gao Zhenggen leisurely sitting on a rocking chair.
He walked over to Gao Zhenggen, bowed deeply.
Seeing this, Gao Zhenggen sat up, looked at Yang Chen, and sighed deeply, "I knew it, you brat never intended to learn wholeheartedly!"
Yang Chen showed a serious expression and said earnestly to Gao Zhenggen, "A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. Although I haven’t formally apprenticed under you, you have always been my culinary mentor, my lifelong guide. Confucius said, ’Among any three people, there is always something I can learn,’ and you are my teacher! Although I haven’t studied with you for long, these few days have given me more insight into cooking than all my years of pondering it! Thank you!"
Gao Zhenggen waved his hand, "No need! Just don’t go around saying I taught you cooking! Can’t afford that shame!"
Hearing Gao Zhenggen’s words, Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly.
"Let’s go! If I didn’t have to work at the Ye family, I wouldn’t have bothered teaching you! I’m just worried they’ll dock my pay! At my age, what’s wrong with enjoying leisure? It’s just that I’m afraid of having nothing to do, that’s why I stayed here, also to leave some more money for my children! Teaching you was a last resort! You don’t have to thank me. If you really feel uneasy, just think of it as I taught you for a fee! Get going!" Gao Zhenggen didn’t seem sentimental at all, waving his hand to shoo him away.
Though Yang Chen was somewhat helpless, he still had no temper. However, he did bow deeply to Gao Zhenggen again before turning to leave.
No matter what, Gao Zhenggen had been responsible and diligent in teaching him these past few days.
"Also!" Watching Yang Chen’s back, Gao Zhenggen called out, "I just can’t stand you guard members being so formal about everything, makes people feel uncomfortable!"
Yang Chen smiled but didn’t turn back.
"Remember!" Gao Zhenggen shouted, "You must carve at least once every day. Your knife skills are just barely passable, to make them presentable, you must practice! Practice every day! Like drawing an egg every day in painting! Take a radish, and carve flowers on it. Start with one, then slowly increase. When you can carve ninety-nine complete flowers on one radish, you’ll have achieved mastery!"
"I’ll remember!" Yang Chen responded loudly.
"Go on!" Gao Zhenggen’s voice carried a carefree tone.
Yang Chen didn’t move.
With his back to Gao Zhenggen, he shouted, "Old Master Gao, when I return in a while, I’ll continue learning from you!"
"Depends on my mood!" Old Master Gao remained proud.
Yang Chen chuckled and left the backyard.
...
Yang Chen and Ye Liangcai had arranged a time, and Ye Liangcai rushed back from his workplace.
During this period, Ye Liangcai’s work had been heavy and quite busy.
After communicating with Ye Liangcai, Yang Chen understood that they had already deciphered the sound patterns and located the submarine of Beihai Country underwater.
For safety reasons, they hadn’t explored or attacked.
It was precisely because of this sound pattern that the Beihai Country’s submarine was laid bare before them like a girl without clothes.
In this way, any intentions of Beihai Country were entirely exposed to Flame Country.
They would never know that their every move had already been surrounded, and that their sound patterns were known to others!
Subsequently, Yang Chen bid farewell to Master Ye and Hu Yashu.
Yang Chen had already received the news that Xibo had been attacked by Beihai Country twice again.
In one of the attacks, they were completely wiped out again.
The second time, a large group of elite guards launched a strong attack, resulting in heavy casualties and allowing them to break into the base.
Fortunately, Futian Xiongchun and the others had already been relocated, leaving those people coming to no avail.
The people of Beihai Country dared not act recklessly in Flame Country and finally fled, being chased like drowned rats by the base members.
Yang Chen’s expression was cold and somber.
After all, knowing about this would ruin anyone’s mood.
Such a small country, like Beihai Country, dared to provoke repeatedly!
Therefore, Yang Chen was ready to take action personally.
The base was withdrawn.
The people of Beihai Country certainly wouldn’t come back.
But Fukuda Kumamoto’s mouth had been pried open.
From it, a lot of interesting intelligence was gathered.
So Yang Chen prepared to return.
Ye Xin naturally followed along.
Master Ye, Ye Liangcai, and Hu Yashu escorted them to the door.
Hu Yashu held onto Yang Chen, saying, "Xiaochen, when you go back, make sure to work on your parents! You two have been registered for so long, not having a wedding just won’t do, and can’t be delayed any longer! We’re not like ordinary families, we can’t skip the wedding!"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Don’t worry! When I go back this time, I’ll bring it up to them."
Ye Xin blushed beside him, shyly saying, "Mom! What are you talking about!"
Hu Yashu glared at Ye Xin, "This is a lifelong matter, how can a woman go through her life without wearing a wedding dress or entering a bridal chamber! If you skip this, you might regret it for the rest of your life!"
Ye Xin lowered her head and stopped speaking, because talking about entering the bridal chamber always made people think of certain embarrassing things.
Yang Chen grinned and said, "Don’t worry! This matter is on my mind! Even if Ye Xin wants to skip it, I can’t skip it! Marrying such a good wife, how can I not show her off!"
Hu Yashu was very satisfied with Yang Chen’s words, smiling, "That’s good! Then your uncle and I will wait for your news!"
"Okay! Do go back!"
After some formalities, waving goodbye to the three, Yang Chen and Ye Xin left the Ye family and headed to the suburban underground base.
Yang Chen was interested in the information gleaned from Beihai Country’s people.
Additionally, Yang Cao’s research on parasites had also made some progress.
The information he received did not mention any details, only by going to the base could he find out.
In Jin Chen, there were no secrets, so the best way was not to speak of secrets.
After driving for more than two hours, the car arrived at the experimental base.
