Chapter 445
Chapter 445 of "Super Combat Soldier" starts the action: Chapter 445: Chapter 444 Ling Yuxun was holding Ye Tianchen and began to sob loudly.... Find out what happens!
Chapter 445: Chapter 444 Ling Yuxun was holding Ye Tianchen and began to sob loudly. At this time, Ye Tianchen didnât say anything, nor did he move, but just gently patted Ling Yuxunâs shoulder. In such a moment, this was the best way to help Ling Yuxun relax and calm her down. Anything he said or did would be superfluous; only by letting her vent her emotions, could she quietly face what was coming next.
As for Hei Mian, he glanced over and then left the hospital room. Bringing Ye Tianchen here had been his mission, and the chief had already made it very clear: the affairs of the Heavenly Gang level and the Ling family were to be handled by Ye Tianchen. Since this young man looked down on a Heavenly Gang level warrior, there was no need for him to look for trouble unnecessarily.
At this time, Ling Yuxunâs father, seeing his daughter clinging tightly to Ye Tianchen, had a shift in his gaze, showing slight displeasure. It is said daughters are their fathersâ lovers from past lives, and seeing oneâs daughter now in the arms of another man, even arguing with him to the point of nearly making him, her father, burst a blood vesselâespecially since Ling Yuxun had always been obedient and hardly ever talked back, and now, for Ye Tianchen, she had almost cut off her filial tiesâhow could Ling Yue have a good impression of Ye Tianchen?
"Hmph!" Ling Yue snorted heavily, which made Ling Yuxun finally release her tight hold on Ye Tianchen. Her face was still tear-stained, her eyes red. It seemed she had cried before, and now having cried again, naturally looked even more haggard.
Ye Tianchen didnât pay any attention to Ling Yue. His actions had already made clear his stance; he didnât think highly of Ye Tianchen. Since he didnât, there was no need for Ye Tianchen to interact with him. As for currying favor with his future father-in-law, Ye Tianchen certainly wasnât inclined, nor did he have any intention of doing so. His feelings for Ling Yuxun werenât love but merely that he couldnât ignore the troubles of this woman he was involved with, and that was the extent of his feelings.
Moreover, in keeping with Ye Tianchenâs personality, even if it was his future father-in-law, he wouldnât stoop low, only showing the respect that was due, being polite but also retaining his dignity.
"Itâs good that youâre okay. I just came to see how you were. You will be safe here!" said Ye Tianchen, smiling at Ling Yuxun.
"Tianchen, those people, they killed my brother, and Old Lady Ku was also killed protecting us..." As Ling Yuxun spoke, her eyes reddened again, and she couldnât help but start crying.
"Donât worry, there wonât be any more problems. Just rest here, and leave the rest to me," Ye Tianchen said earnestly, nodding to Ling Yuxun.
Ling Yuxun looked at Ye Tianchen, calmed herself, then turned and glanced at her father, whose face was growing dark, and said to Ye Tianchen, "Tianchen, this is my dad..."
Although Ling Yue thought he should at least greet the young man regardless of his feelings, and despite his belief that a young man of only twenty, who had crossed a powerful figure in the Capital City, had little capability, he didnât want to embarrass his daughter too much.
Just as Ling Yue was about to speak, before Ling Yuxun even finished her introduction, Ye Tianchen interrupted her:
"Alright Yuxun, just stay here. Once Iâve dealt with the people from the Blade Stream of the Northern Dipper, youâll be safe!"
Having said this, Ye Tianchen turned and was about to leave when Ling Yue sternly shouted: "Stop!"
Ye Tianchen stopped at the doorway and turned to look at Ling Yue, asking in a very indifferent tone, "Yes, sir. Can I help you with something?"
"Tianchen..." Ling Yuxun seemed anxious, attempting to interrupt, but Ye Tianchen stopped her with a gesture, leaving her frozen in place, conflicted between her father and the man she loved, unsure of what to say.
"Are you Ye Tianchen? Do you know who I am?" Ling Yue asked irritably. He hadnât expected Ye Tianchen to take such a tone with him. After all, as the head of the Ling family, in control if not for Old Master Ling still being alive, and as the president of the Overseas Chinese Association, he held a very high status in one of the wealthiest overseas families. Nobody had ever dismissed him so flippantly, and it definitely ignited his anger.
"I am Ye Tianchen. I donât know who you are, nor do I want to know, and Iâm not interested in finding out..." Ye Tianchen shrugged nonchalantly, speaking as if he couldnât care less.
It wasnât that Ye Tianchen was deliberately provoking Ling Yue or reacting because Ling Yue looked down on him; if that were the case, this confrontation between the two men would carry a different connotation. Instead, Ye Tianchen genuinely didnât care about Ling Yueâhow he viewed him, how he treated him, or even his life or death. Ye Tianchen was utterly indifferent; if it werenât for Ling Yuxun, he might not have even bothered showing up.
"You... arrogant, utterly presumptuous. What great things can such a young man achieve? It seems my decision of not wanting Yuxun to associate with someone like you is the right one!" Ling Yue said furiously.
Ye Tianchen glanced at Ling Yue, and then at Ling Yuxun. Seeing Ling Yuxunâs difficulty in deciding, he could imagine that she must suffer some grievances at home too. Ling Yue, being the helmsman of the Ling family, naturally had an authoritative and clever presence. However, this could also lead one to gradually lose themselves, thinking that they had the final say in everything. This would inflate someoneâs ego crazily, and eventually, the desire to command and control everything would dominate all his decisions, believing his word was law, hardly able to listen to othersâ opinions.
"I really donât want to talk to you, but thereâs something I must say to you, and that is, itâs not about my arrogance or self-importance, but your desire to decide everything is too strong. You want to have the final say in everything, is that possible? Who do you think you are? And remember... âDo not underestimate the fury of a young man...â"
After finishing his sentence, Ye Tianchen turned around and left without looking back; Ling Yue was so angry he almost spat blood. Ling Yuxun didnât know what to do, having never expected that their first meeting would end up like this; she could only walk over to her fatherâs bedside.
"Do you see? Yuxun, itâs not that Dad has prejudices against Ye Tianchen, but he has no respect for his elders at all. So arrogant that he is unbearable. Falling in love with such a person, how can you talk about happiness?" Ling Yue couldnât help but say loudly.
"Dad, donât be angry, please rest. We donât even know how grandpa and the others are doing over in the States!" Ling Yuxun said worriedly.
Ling Yue sighed and did not respond. He hadnât expected that his familyâs move back to the domestic market would lead to such incidents. Although he knew there would be some obstructions and dangers, he had been very careful with all aspects.
Little did he know that the USA would be so ruthless, not moving personally, but had bribed the Japanese hostiles. His own son had died, and some of his men who had returned to the country with him had also perished, leaving only him and his daughter Ling Yuxun alive. Now disabled, he really did not know what the future held for the Ling family and feared the USA would not drop the matter easily. The safety of his father and wife still in the USA greatly worried him.
Moreover, among his other siblings, there were already a few who opposed the move back to the domestic market. The incident he caused in Capital City was probably already known to them, and he had no idea what the situation was like in the USA now.
"In any case, I forbid you from associating with Ye Tianchen. With his limited capabilities, heâs definitely no match for the Japanese foes, and he absolutely cannot help our Ling family!" Ling Yueâs father said fiercely.
Seeing her father so agitated and seriously injured, Ling Yuxun didnât dare say much. She was already heartbroken by the deaths of her brother and Old Lady Ku; she truly couldnât bear any more accidents affecting her father. She remained silent, praying inwardly, hoping Ye Tianchen could handle the Hokuto Knife Gang, deep down, she still had great faith in Ye Tianchen.
After leaving the hospital room, Ye Tianchen departed the medical building. Hei Mian was waiting outside and, seeing Ye Tianchen, he sneered and asked, "Did your talk with your future father-in-law go well? Look at that face of yours, you seem happy. Has he already promised you his daughter?"
Hei Mian was obviously teasing Ye Tianchen, trying to retaliate against the usual mockery from Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen glanced at Hei Mian and said:
"Jealous? Or is it just that youâre too dark to get a girlfriend?"
"Me? Unable to get a girlfriend? Iâm handsome!" Hei Mian declared seriously.
"Sure, youâre handsome, but your girlfriend canât see you at night!" Ye Tianchen quipped as he walked past Hei Mian.
"You kid... I may be dark, but itâs a healthy complexion!" Hei Mian retorted, annoyed.
"Healthy? All thatâs left is âcomplexionâ..." Ye Tianchenâs voice trailed off, leaving Hei Mian completely deflated.
Throughout the journey, Ye Tianchen became silent, pondering over the need to quickly take care of the Hokuto Knife Gang. Ling Yuxun was still in danger, but these foes were deeply concealed, with even the top leader lacking intelligence on them. Waiting for them to make a move would be too passive.
Although he appeared relaxed, Ye Tianchen was far from feeling it inside. The Hokuto Knife Gang had already sent many experts, even killing Old Lady Ku. It seemed the Japanese were determined to eliminate him, and these hostiles acted so confidently, then completely vanished. Someone must be helping them from behind. Who could be behind all this?...(To be continued. If you like this book, please visit qidian.com to vote and support me. Mobile users can read it on m.qidian.com.)
