Chapter 906: Chapter 880:
Ye Chen ran into the hall in a dejected manner, but couldn’t see any trace of Yao Yue, so he helplessly ran upstairs. Inside the room, Yao Yue was sitting on the sofa with her back to the door. Ye Chen flashed a mischievous smile and then walked over step by step. He suddenly covered Yao Yue’s eyes but felt them moist. He was startled and quickly asked, "Little Yueyue, why are you crying?!"
"Hmph, isn’t it because of you!" Yao Yue glared at Ye Chen.
"Uh..." Ye Chen was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked, "What... what does this have to do with me!"
"Of course, it does! It’s because you didn’t let me personally avenge Ah Ping!" Yao Yue glared at Ye Chen and said, "You just killed that guy named Ma, but you let the Wa State’s Second Leader escape. He’s the one I wanted to find! He’s the one who killed Ah Ping!"
"Sigh, don’t worry, there will be a chance for revenge!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "One day we will kill him."
"But, you let the tiger return to the mountain!" Yao Yue looked up at Ye Chen with a hint of grievance in her eyes and said, "Don’t you know more than four hundred people from the Wa State escaped? These people will eventually become a strong enemy of the Luoyang Prefecture!"
"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "I will find a way to track them down, so you don’t have to worry too much!"
"But, can I not worry?" Yao Yue bit her red lips lightly.
"I know you’re worried, but your worry is useless now!" Ye Chen comforted repeatedly, "But you can rest assured, the Wa State tribe escaped with just over four hundred people, and in the Golden Triangle, they can’t stir up any major trouble. They don’t have weapons or ammunition, no grain for winter. In a month, winter will begin, and once it enters winter, they probably won’t even have a place to survive and will freeze to death in these mountains!"
"Hmph, with his nature, he will certainly act like a bandit and rob nearby residents, stealing their food and women!" Yao Yue snorted lightly.
"Then set up posts along the route, and notify nearby residents. If anyone robs them, they should immediately inform the soldiers at the post!" Ye Chen frowned. If that really happens, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the residents in this area? Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately realized that he was the one truly responsible.
Luoyang Prefecture set up hundreds of outposts within a radius of a hundred kilometers to prevent the remnants of the Wa State from creating havoc in this region.
Luoyang Prefecture settled down temporarily. The soldiers had already gathered enough grain for winter, including hundreds of cattle and sheep brought back from the Wa State tribe. The cattle can be rented to nearby farmers for plowing, and the sheep can feast throughout this winter.
Ye Chen finally decided to leave Luoyang Prefecture.
"Are you really leaving?" Yao Yue looked at Ye Chen with reluctance. During this period, she had become very dependent on Ye Chen, touching his face every morning as her first action. If she couldn’t see Ye Chen, her heart would panic, afraid that Ye Chen had left her alone and ran away.
"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "Now that Luoyang Prefecture is stable, I think I should return to Sunset City, they are waiting for me there!"
"Alright!" Yao Yue said with a trace of unshed tears in her eyes, making them look like they were adorned with gems under the sunlight.
"You... really aren’t coming back with me?" Ye Chen looked at Yao Yue seriously.
"I can’t leave!" Yao Yue shook her head, she rushed towards Ye Chen and then started crying heavily, "I also want to go with you, but I can’t because Luoyang Prefecture needs me. Once everything is truly settled, I will come to find you, no matter if you’re at the end of the earth or in any corner of the world. I will follow your footsteps, even if the seas dry up and rocks crumble, or time passes and mountains crumble, I’ll find you."
"No, I don’t want you to go through such hardship to find me!" Ye Chen shook his head quickly, moved by Yao Yue’s feelings. He took a deep breath and said, "Stay in Luoyang Prefecture and wait for me, wait for my grand carriage to come and take you home! Okay?"
"Okay!" Yao Yue nodded, hooking her pinky, "Let’s make a pinky promise!"
"Pinky promise!" Ye Chen laughed heartily. The two hooked their pinkies together, and Yao Yue softly chanted, "Pinky promise, hang it on high, a hundred years without change, whoever changes is a puppy!"
A simple, ordinary children’s game yet gave Ye Chen immense motivation and pressure. From then on, Ye Chen carried another heavy burden. This burden made him feel that this world was so beautiful, so bright.
Ye Chen left, and the soldiers drove the big Mercedes slowly away from Luoyang Prefecture, leaving Luoyang City, heading straight for Yangon, Myanmar. Behind him, at the gate of Luoyang Prefecture, Yao Yue’s eyes followed the moving Mercedes, almost out of sight, and then she hurried up the city wall, where she again saw the shadow of the Mercedes until it disappeared without a trace. Only then did a hot tear flow from Yao Yue’s eyes. Gone, he finally left.
Some people love each other but have to be separated; some people don’t love each other but have to stay together.
Is this the helplessness of people, or the perversion of society?! People who love each other but can’t be together, for a better future; People who don’t love each other but stay together, for mutual benefit. Liang and Zhu transform into butterflies; Meng Jiang cries down the Great Wall. These things exceedingly illustrate people’s helplessness and society’s perversion.
"Leader, let’s go!" Zi quietly said beside her.
"Yeah!" Yao Yue nodded, but her feet remained motionless.
"Leader, Mr. Ye will definitely come back!" Zi’s eyes still gazed at the place where heaven and earth meet, the Mercedes had long vanished without a trace, only visible was the misty forest and the startled birds. Zi took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ye is a person who values emotions, I believe he will surely come to find you. Didn’t he say it? He will marry you with a grand sedan chair!"
"Yeah!" A touch of shy red appeared on Yao Yue’s face, she smiled, and said, "Zi, someday I’ll find you a husband too."
"No, I want to serve you forever!" Zi hurriedly shook her head, adding silently in her heart, this way I can always watch Ye Chen’s back. But she understood that she would never be eligible. Mr. Ye was a great figure, and she? Just a female slave, once used by Kun Sha as a tool for pleasure. So, she never had that chance.
"Let’s go, we’ll go down!" Yao Yue said nothing more, turned, and left the city wall, and Zi hurriedly followed from behind.
...
Yangon, Myanmar, on a flight to Canada Ottawa. Transiting in United Kingdom London.
Ye Chen lied down on the plane’s comfortable seat, closed his eyes to rest, a blanket covering his body, feeling entirely as if sleeping in a bed. Beside him, a sexy enchanting woman stared at Ye Chen in shock, upon seeing him, she quickly turned her head, not daring to look directly. She turned her head and said to the man next to her, "No way, there’s an acquaintance here, the operation must stop!"
"Why?" asked the curious white man beside her.
"Anyway, today’s operation must stop!" said the enchanting woman hurriedly.
"No, the operation is already underway, it cannot be stopped." The man frowned and said, "Morris, shut up immediately and lie down properly, we will act when the time comes!"
Morris bit her red lips, closed her eyes, her mind contemplating how to avoid Ye Chen’s surveillance. She never expected her first action since joining the organization would encounter Ye Chen. This made her somewhat panicked inside. All of Morris’s power had been abolished by Ye Chen, but her bewitching technique was something Ye Chen could not remove. Bewitching technique seemed to be Morris’s superpower, innate.
Ultimately, Morris could only grit her teeth and decide that if she wanted to suppress Ye Chen, she had to use the lives of everyone on the plane to threaten him. Moreover, once the plane took off, Ye Chen’s life would be tied with everyone else’s. Morris took a deep breath, closed her eyes, wrapped her head with a blanket, trying not to expose herself.
Soon, the plane entered the runway, and after a furious sprint, the plane suddenly soared into the sky. The plane took off, and Morris’s mood relaxed a bit. She knew the scales of victory had tilted to her side.
The man next to Morris got up to go to the restroom after the plane took off. Actually, this move was a signal to inform other cohorts in the economy class that the action begins. The man entered the economy class from the first class cabin, then headed to the rear restroom.
In the economy class, five men looked at the white man, who nodded. The five nodded understandingly, then settled into the seats. The man entered the restroom, swiftly pulled out a black box from himself, a box made of special material capable of evading airport detector machines, plus the inspectors were his own people, so they hardly underwent body checks, it was merely symbolic search followed by clearance.
The white man took out a remote-controlled bomb from that black box, and installed it inside the tissue box. Installing a bomb here is something no one generally thinks of, and once installed, the white man returned to the first class cabin. After he returned, the five male passengers in the economy class stood up from their seats. Each quickly pulled out a gun from their chest.
"Nobody move, this plane is under our control!" A black man with long curly hair shouted loudly.
