When Yang Chen woke up in the morning, he was on the sofa at Elder Zhuo's house.
Due to the hangover, Yang Chen still had a slight headache. They had indeed drunk quite a lot yesterday, almost two pounds for each of them.
Standing up to stretch a bit, the hangover symptoms disappeared, and Yang Chen saw Ye Xin running back, followed by a large group of New Guard kids.
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, what was going on here?
Does Ye Xin also enjoy training New Guards?
Ye Xin saw Yang Chen as well, smiled, and ran over.
"Honey, you're awake. Is your head hurting? Who told you to drink so much yesterday?" Ye Xin said with some concern and a bit of reproach.
Yang Chen replied gently, "It's nothing, just alcohol. It'll pass in a while, it's no big deal."
At this moment, Yang Chen noticed that those New Guard kids were looking at him with envy and jealousy, continuing to run forward while many still kept glancing back at Ye Xin, unaware that their formation had scattered.
That's when Yang Chen realized that these kids were running after Ye Xin because she was as beautiful as a fairy, with a great figure!
This really annoyed Yang Chen, and he felt he should teach these boys a lesson.
Back in the room, the smell of alcohol still lingered.
Seeing Yang Chen, Elder Zhuo said, "Xiaochen, drink more tea to sober up."
Yang Chen nodded and brewed some tea.
While brewing the tea, Yang Chen thought about last night.
Even though he was drunk yesterday, he remembered clearly what Gao Hong said.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Li Muyang came over, and Yang Chen raised his head to ask, "Where is Gao Hong?"
"Resting, I suppose. He drank a lot yesterday, vomiting all over, probably blacked out." Li Muyang sat down and poured himself a cup of tea without any reservation.
Yang Chen thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Major Li, can I ask you for a favor?"
Yang Chen rarely asked for help or used connections. This time, he opened his mouth after a long internal struggle.
Hearing Yang Chen's address, Li Muyang was first taken aback, then quickly said, "Don't call me that, it's awkward. If you have something, just say it. No need for such formalities between us."
Seeing that Li Muyang was not against it, Yang Chen said, "Here's the thing, although Gao Hong committed murder, he was still in service at the time, and the ones he killed were criminals. Can we help him reduce his sentence considering these special circumstances, or perhaps in some other way..."
At this moment, Elder Zhuo also came over, sat down, and said with a smile, "It's simple. If you say the word, Gao Hong can be released immediately."
"Yes! Leave it to me!" Li Muyang said.
"No, no, no!" Yang Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean. What I'm saying is, by other means, not necessarily letting him serve in prison. See if he can stay in the Guard? No need for a position or anything else, just restrict him within our defense area is enough. Whether he gets paid or not is irrelevant, just provide food and lodging, and give him a few sets of clothes each year for replacement, that's completely sufficient."
Yang Chen lowered the requirements to the minimum, only hoping to provide Gao Hong with a comfortable environment.
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang couldn't help but frown and looked at Elder Zhuo.
Elder Zhuo's probing of Yang Chen yesterday wasn't out of sudden impulse but had been discussed with Li Muyang.
Both of them had received news that Jin Chen might send people over, which could cause trouble for Yang Chen.
"Yang Chen, if you agree, I can erase Gao Hong's record. After all, those people are from the Poisonous Snake Organization, restoring Gao Hong's identity would only count as a disciplinary offense at most." Li Muyang looked at Yang Chen and said.
Yang Chen shook his head, "No need, let him stay with the Guard for a while."
Seeing Yang Chen's insistence, Li Muyang could do nothing but say, "Well… alright then!"
Ye Xin was considerate; when Yang Chen and Elder Zhuo were discussing matters, she naturally avoided making the three of them feel awkward.
She was in the upstairs study, observing Elder Zhuo's collection of books, most of which were historical.
In the study, there was also a calligraphy piece by Elder Zhuo himself: Use history as a mirror to correct one's self.
At this moment, Ye Xin's phone rang.
Answering the call, Ye Xin heard Sun Yue's anxious voice, "Come back quickly, come to Emperor Garden, come alone, hurry!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xin's nerves immediately tightened.
Ordinarily, Sun Yue's training quality is very good, such panic hardly ever occurs.
Immediately, Ye Xin hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Sun Yue said anxiously, "The professor has an urgent matter to discuss with you, and it seems like Jin Chen's people are here. Hurry back, come alone, and don't let Yang Chen come along!"
"I understand!" Ye Xin said with a serious face and hung up the phone.
She didn't rush to leave but paced back and forth in the room, frowning in thought.
Jin Chen's people came, obviously, it was someone from her family. Official source is N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Who the visitor was, Ye Xin didn't know yet.
What the visitor's purpose was, Ye Xin didn't know either.
But the one thing she knew was that no matter who the visitor was or what their purpose was, they absolutely could not know about Yang Chen's existence.
If Yang Chen were to get involved, it would be a big problem.
Thinking about it, Ye Xin took a deep breath and walked downstairs.
Downstairs, the three were already finished talking and were drinking tea.
"Dear, Qingqing just called me to invite me to do SAP. I'll head over first, you stay here and chat with Uncle Zhuo." Ye Xin said straightforwardly.
Elder Zhuo and Li Muyang exchanged glances upon hearing this, their expressions peculiar.
Yang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back with you!"
"No need, ladies' SAP shop doesn't allow men in. You stay here and keep Uncle Zhuo company, the old man is quite bored at home alone, keep him company." Ye Xin said with a smile.
Elder Zhuo immediately said, "Exactly, you young couple can be together anytime. Stay here with me, we'll make something tasty for lunch, and you can take me to the training base for a look in the afternoon, haven't been out in a long time."
Seeing Elder Zhuo speak up, Yang Chen couldn't refuse, he could only nod and say, "Alright."
Only then did Ye Xin let out a sigh of relief and went out the door.
She was really afraid that Yang Chen would catch up, making things hard to explain.
Fortunately, Elder Zhuo intervened in a timely manner.
Ye Xin felt that probably Elder Zhuo and the others had also received the news, otherwise they wouldn't act this way.
