Chapter 974: Chapter 945:
"No, that’s not it!" Li Ruo’s body was still very weak. Being shaken by Ye Chen like this, she felt a bit strained, but she didn’t show it. She didn’t want Ye Chen to worry. Ye Chen excitedly said, "Then... then pinch me, let me see if I’m dreaming or not!"
Li Ruo gently pinched Ye Chen’s cheek, and Ye Chen excitedly said, "It hurts, it really hurts, it’s not a dream!"
"Go and pass down the order, let Leisure City celebrate for three days!" Haozi immediately said to the Guard Captain beside him.
"Yes!" The Guard Captain saw how excited Ye Chen was, and he couldn’t help but feel very excited himself. He quickly turned and left, then passed on the order from the steward. Ye Chen excitedly picked up Li Ruo and ran outside.
The news of the resurrection spread quickly through Leisure City, and Ye Chen’s power was widely publicized by the Luo Sijue family. The people of Leisure City were suddenly shocked. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are pains that people must endure in life. No one goes through life without experiencing them. Death is the end of a person’s life, marking their departure from the world. However, the Clan Leader was able to defy fate and change destiny, isn’t that too powerful?
"Isn’t this... this can’t be true, right?"
"It’s true, I saw it with my own eyes!" The Guard Captain was overjoyed, and he embellished the story between Ye Chen and Li Ruo, spreading a moving tale widely in Leisure City, causing many young girls to cry with emotion. They believed Ye Chen was a devoted person and Li Ruo was a lucky person.
However, in a bar in Leisure City, a fresh-looking girl was drinking heavily. The bar’s hostess, Aunt Yun, stepped up and advised, "Zimo, you should drink a little less!"
"No, Aunt Yun, don’t stop me." Zhao Zimo pushed Aunt Yun away, saying, "I’m just very moved!"
"Oh, you silly girl, what’s the point?" Aunt Yun sat down beside Zhao Zimo and said, "The whole of Leisure City is celebrating today, so why are you here drinking alone? You say you’re moved, but you’re not fooling me, nor can you fool yourself."
"Aunt Yun, then what do you say I should do?" Zhao Zimo tearfully said, "I don’t know what to do now!"
"Let it go!" Aunt Yun sighed and said, "Tang Yan was just as stubborn before, and what was the result? She paid with her life, though at least her death earned the respect of Leisure City, but who knows you? I fear even Ye Chen doesn’t know about your feelings."
"No, as long as I like him, that’s enough. I don’t care how he sees me or how he treats me!" Zhao Zimo said with a bleary-eyed look. Fueled by alcohol, she struggled to stand up, but unfortunately, she stumbled and sat down again. She whimpered, "If only I were Li Ruo, how wonderful that would be? It’s just that, I will always just be Zhao Zimo."
"Zimo, don’t be silly!" Aunt Yun sighed helplessly, saying, "Some things you can’t change, and moreover, Ye Chen doesn’t have you in his heart, let go, silly girl, don’t follow in Tang Yan’s footsteps, don’t fly into the flame like a moth!"
"It’s just a shame I don’t even have the right to be a moth flying into the flame!" Zhao Zimo raised her head and finished another large glass of wine, as Aunt Yun quietly accompanied her in conversation. Outside, it was a sea of celebration; every part of Leisure City was on holiday, the working people, children in school, and the residents of all capacities were released. The entire city was celebrating for a day.
Outside was a sea of celebration, but who knew there was a girl in this bar feeling lost for love?
Li Ruo awakened and was temporarily placed in a room within the castle since her long time in ice had slowed her physiological functions. Her body needed to gradually recover. Initially, she could only consume some liquid food, drink porridge, eat noodles, and then wait for a slow recovery. The task of taking care of Li Ruo should have belonged to the maids in the Lord Rose Castle, but Ye Chen wouldn’t let the maids interfere and took up the duty himself.
Li Ruo leaned against the headboard, with a smile on her face, watching Ye Chen carefully feed her porridge. She felt like the happiest woman in the world. She smiled and said, "Ye Chen, you saved me again. If we count this lifetime, you don’t even know how many times you’ve saved me. Without you, I’d probably have long been gone from this world!"
"Silly, can we calculate those things between husband and wife?" Ye Chen gently pinched the tip of Li Ruo’s uplifted nose.
"Hmph, who said I was your wife?" Li Ruo snorted lightly, "I’m not your wife, Zhang Yantong is your wife by law!"
"Haha, you’re jealous?" Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"I’m not jealous at all, who would dare to be jealous?" Li Ruo bit her red lip lightly and said, "That’s the truth, I’m not wrong, Zhang Yantong is the wife you rightfully married, what am I?"
"There’s no ’rightfully married’, later I’ll rightfully marry you too!" Ye Chen grinned, saying, "I’ll use the most splendid wedding to welcome you home, making women all over the world envy you!"
"Really?" Li Ruo was startled.
"Of course it’s true!" Ye Chen nodded, then said, "On your wedding day, I’ll definitely give you a grand wedding ceremony!"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you!" Li Ruo’s eyes filled with excitement and anticipation. Ye Chen’s promises were never false. At least in Li Ruo’s heart, Ye Chen was an honest and trustworthy man, and he was also a very decent guy. Putting aside his authoritative and wealthy appearance, at his core, he was a kind person.
"Come, open your mouth..." Ye Chen fed Li Ruo with a spoon.
The scene could make so many young men and women envious to the point of toothache.
In Canada, the Ottawa Government had decided not to allow Ye Chen’s people to build some Sunset City nearby. Once Sunset City was built, it would probably be hard to control later on. After all, who would allow someone else to sleep soundly beside their bed?
The Prime Minister of Canada personally issued an order to expel them, notifying the Chinese Embassy and the Japanese Embassy, telling them to wrap up and pack their things to leave Canada. The Government of Canada doesn’t welcome them. China received the message and immediately reported back home. Elder Pang was somewhat angry when he got the news, but Mr. Liu was very calm, he coldly smiled, "Old Man Pang, don’t rush on this matter, let Ye Chen handle it, he’ll do a better job than us!"
"That’s right!" Elder Pang nodded and then sneered, "Later, those guys won’t know how much they’ll regret it!"
The news reached Leisure City.
"What? Ottawa wants to drive us away?" Ye Chen was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Why? Since when did the Jia Government have such boldness?"
"I don’t know either!" Haozi hurriedly shook his head, saying, "This is news from Feng Zhixiao and the others, and they also notified the Chinese Embassy, saying visas had expired and they must leave Canada immediately, or they would be forcibly detained!"
"Hmph, have lizards turned into alligators?" Ye Chen sneered, "Now even Canada dares to mess with us like this!"
"Boss, I think someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes!" Haozi quietly said.
"I thought so too, but unfortunately there’s no evidence, so..." Ye Chen furrowed his brow.
Li Ruo’s recovery was swift, the gunshot wound on her back had long healed, and her lungs were recovering quickly, teeming with life energy. She couldn’t resist coming out of the room for a stroll. She curiously asked, "Ye Chen, what’s happening?"
"Xiao Ruo, why are you out?" Ye Chen was surprised, then smilingly greeted her, saying, "Why come out instead of resting well, what if you catch a cold?"
"It’s fine, I feel like I’m fully recovered!" Li Ruo smiled.
"No way!" Ye Chen hurriedly draped his coat over Li Ruo, then said, "You must wait for the doctor to confirm you’re fine before you start walking around!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Ruo wrapped in the coat, said, "Then let me lean in your arms for a while, you guys continue talking!"
With Li Ruo there, Haozi didn’t dare to say much and quickly retreated, but Ye Chen already had a rough outline in his mind. As it stands, Yoda has completely submitted to the Luo Sijue family, and he even personally dispatched a massive construction team to Ottawa to help build Sunset City. So, it wasn’t Yoda who was behind the Jia Government. Thinking it over, the most likely culprit was Obama.
Ottawa is in southern Canada, close to the United States border. With Obama’s and his think tank’s intelligence, they could certainly foresee the future threat Sunset City posed to the United States, so they would absolutely never allow the establishment of Sunset City. The existence of Sunset City posed an enormous threat to the United States. Although Ye Chen and the Luo Sijue family’s armed forces were tens of thousands of miles away from the United States, Japan’s previous experience was laid out in front of the Americans.
Especially the event that shocked the world recently, where Ye Chen brought thousands of troops to confront Kyoto City. What is Kyoto City? It is the nerve center of the Japanese Government. If something went wrong in Kyoto City, then all of Japan would be in turmoil. And the tens of thousands of elite troops in Tokyo were as powerless as clay before Ye Chen.
Tens of thousands of elite troops were toyed with by Ye Chen’s few thousand men, running around like monkeys. The Japanese feared Ye Chen, and so did the Americans. Although they had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, no one dared guarantee what kind of bloody storm Ye Chen would stir up if he entered their country.
