Chapter 78 - Playing a Nasty Joke

It wasn’t that he compromised, nor was he forced, but he felt it was necessary to make the trip.

Perhaps there, he could make some discoveries, or even further advance or break through his superpower realm.

“It’s a deal, from the time we reach M country to the completion of the mission, you must listen to me and not act on your own,” Liu Rumei said to Ye Tianchen, raising her eyebrows.

“Impossible, I make my own decisions.

You guys do your thing, and I’ll wander around,” Ye Tianchen retorted without giving in.

“We’re not going there to travel, we’re going to exchange secret documents.

The other side has many experts, and one careless move could get us all killed,” Liu Rumei said, clearly annoyed.

“The more experts, the better, that’s what makes it exciting.

Otherwise, it would be too boring,” Ye Tianchen yawned and said.

Seeing Ye Tianchen like this, without any discipline, nothing like someone who came from the military, Liu Rumei was infuriated.

Although Liu Rumei opposed the idea when Cang Lang told her that Ye Tianchen was assigned to protect her, she suspected that Ye Tianchen had been framed for the events of the past.

She did not want any more dealings with him, as their reputation was already poorly affected.

Any more contacts could lead to more malicious gossip.

However, Cang Lang repeatedly assured her, claiming that Ye Tianchen was the right person for this mission.

The secret document exchange was tied to a significant enhancement of the national military forces and could even have a long-term impact on development.

Thus, he hoped Liu Rumei could set aside personal grievances temporarily and allow Ye Tianchen to protect her during the document exchange in M country.

Plus, since Ye Tianchen’s return to the city, although Liu Rumei hadn’t contacted him in years, the entire Capital City recently buzzed with talks of Ye Tianchen, which she heard bits of.

Particularly, her astonishment grew when she saw Ye Tianchen handling himself well without falling behind in a recent encounter with Yong Chun Tai.

What Ye Tianchen experienced these recent years to increase his skills profoundly puzzled her.

As Qi Ruxue knew, the Liu family had become one of the top families in Capital City.

Unlike other families with significant military or political figures, the Liu family had great scientists generation after generation.

This fact might be unknown to many, as there were no famous scientists named Liu publicly known – a measure taken by the government to protect the Liu family discreetly.

The importance of a scientist to a nation is unimaginable.

During the world war, M country wanted nothing but people, specifically talented scientists.

This alone had elevated M country to a world superpower status, or else how could America be what it is today?

The Liu family had produced outstanding scientists in every generation, a fact known by very few.

Rumei, being the youngest top scientific talent in the Liu family, was involved in nuclear technology development.

This was the reason why Rumei was going to M country for the secret document exchange, indicating the extent of the nation’s protective measures towards the Liu family that surpassed normal influential families, which also deterred them from provoking the Liu family.

“Alright, alright, the plane is about to take off.

Let’s not stress too much and believe that we can return safely,” Yong Chun Tai said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei glared at each other and chose seats far apart from one another, determined not to sit together.

If it weren’t for the Liu family’s contributions to the nation over the years and the re

Although Ye Tianchen didn’t want to interfere, as fellow Descendants of Yanhuang, he didn’t want Jiang Meng and Fei Yun to die in M Country and disgrace China.

“Fine, Ye Tianchen, I will definitely show you the might of Falcon Unit,” Fei Yun said, furiously clenching his fists and growling.

“You’re not up to it, maybe it’d be interesting if Yan Long showed up.”

“Hmph, you’re way too arrogant.”

“I’m just that arrogant.

What are you going to do, bite me?” Ye Tianchen said irritably.

Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were both infuriated by Ye Tianchen.

Originally, as soon as they boarded the plane, Jiang Meng declared they were elite members of Falcon Unit, hoping it would make Ye Tianchen wary.

But Ye Tianchen simply didn’t take the bait, apparently not considering Falcon Unit a threat at all, which inevitably angered them.

“You three, stop arguing.

Once we reach M Country, we need to be united.

You can settle your issues once we’re back in our own country!” Yong Chun Tai, afraid that Ye Tianchen, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun’s argument would spiral out of control, quickly tried to mediate.

“Just wait, I’ll make you taste the power of an iron fist,” Fei Yun said, glaring at Ye Tianchen fiercely.

“You don’t like it?

Once we get off the plane, let’s have it out,” Ye Tianchen said, not giving Fei Yun any face.

Fei Yun was incredibly angry but was forcefully pulled down to sit by Jiang Meng.

In terms of temperament, Jiang Meng was relatively more stable.

Fei Yun spoke little but was proud to the bone.

It can be said that each member of the Falcon Unit had their own pride and confidence, for Falcon Unit was China’s most powerful single combat force, and they were indeed the elite of the elite, certainly deserving of pride, but it sometimes made them overly arrogant, forgetting the truth that there are always bigger fishes.

After finishing his statement, Ye Tianchen completely ignored Jiang Meng and Fei Yun and also disregarded Liu Rumei, the extraordinarily beautiful woman, leaning to the side on the sofa and falling asleep.

Having arrived at the international airport early at seven in the morning, he had long been overcome by sleepiness.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but when Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, it was already pitch black outside, and glancing at Jiang Meng and Fei Yun next to him, they were still sitting upright – typical of spear-like soldiers.

As for Liu Rumei and Yong Chun Tai, they were having coffee at a side, in a helicopter with a significant capacity that included a small dining table.

“I’m hungry, got anything to eat?” That was the first thing Ye Tianchen said as he opened his eyes.

“Are you a pig?

You slept for over ten hours and still woke up hungry.

It seems you’re still somewhat aware,” Liu Rumei disparagingly said, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

“Cut the crap, do you still want my protection or not?

If not, I can get off the plane midway,” Ye Tianchen retorted irritably.

“Get off the plane?

We are tens of thousands of meters up in the air right now; if you want to die, you could jump down,” Liu Rumei said, exasperatedly looking at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen looked outside, which was indeed pitch black, strong currents rushing past.

It was late night, high in the sky where the outside was surely bone-chilling cold, the air even capable of cutting through steel.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen thought of a mischief and couldn’t help but grin mischievously before saying:

“Given our current position, do you think there are any planes flying?”
