Pang Yong immediately retorted, “Who cares about his merits? Since he dared to do something as vicious as this, if we don’t remove him, we have to at least suppress him. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble!”
“I will remain neutral.”
Bai Lixiong’s face was livid, and he almost slammed the table and left. He looked at Pan Guohua and Pang Yong and said icily, “Did those guardians take action during Qinling’s dragon vein incident? No!”
“Pan Guohua and Pang Yong, you are doing this for the people behind you. Don’t think I don’t know that!”
Bai Lixiong pointed at the two of them angrily.
Of the people on the stage, almost everyone stood in opposition to Ye Chen, despite Bai Lixiong arguing on his behalf.
Bai Lixiong could already feel a trace of anger surging from Ye Chen.
If this continued, Ye Chen’s methods to resolve this solution would be extreme.
At this moment, the old man in the middle who had been silent all this time spoke.
He glanced at Ye Chen and said calmly, “I’ve been aware of this incident since the beginning. Ye Chen’s way of handling this matter was indeed a little overboard, but it was not him who started the conflict. Even if I were in Ye Chen’s position, I might have done the same!”
“There’s no need to discuss this matter anymore. Ye Chen will bear all the economic losses.”
Hearing this, everyone’s expression froze. It was obvious that this person wanted to protect Ye Chen!
The scene fell silent.
A few seconds later, Pan Guohua stood up and said seriously, “Isn’t that too light of a punishment? Ye Chen owns the Heavenly Justice Group, so what does money mean to him?”
“What do you think we should do then?” The man glanced at Pan Guohua coldly.
Pan Guohua’s eyes darted around. He knew very well that it was impossible to erase Ye Chen, but Lord Fang Zhenye’s call to him this morning was very clear. If Ye Chen could not be killed, then at the very least, Ye Chen had to be made to pay a heavy price!
Suddenly, Pan Guohua thought of something and his eyes turned cold.
“I suggest that we revoke Ye Chen’s military rank and remove him from his position as Chief Instructor. Such a tainted person would only tarnish Huaxia’s reputation!”
The moment he said that, the crowd went into an uproar.
Stripping Ye Chen of his military rank and position in front of so many people was a great humiliation!
Bai Lixiong could not take it anymore. He slammed the table and stood up.
“Pan Guohua, what the f*ck do you mean by this? I’ll be the first to object!”
“Bai Lixiong, you don’t have the final say in this matter,” Pan Guohua said fearlessly, “Even if we put this matter to a vote, the majority would agree!”
At this moment, that person hesitated.
In his position, he was not allowed to have selfish motives. This was inevitable. He sighed and said, “Let’s vote.”
Obviously, besides Bai Lixiong who voted against it, the other eight people all voted in favor of the punishment.
Lei Shuwei clenched his fists when he saw this scene, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He was the one who had invited Ye Chen to become Dragon Soul’s Chief Instructor, yet these people actually deprived Ye Chen of his rank by saying a few words.
How ridiculous! How could they embarrass Dragon Soul’s Chief Instructor ?
Lei Shuwei slammed his fist on the armrest beside him and broke it, and the other soldiers from Dragon Soul were also furious!
Ye Chen’s strength was obvious to everyone, and he had risked his life to save Ying Qing and the others. They would always remember this kindness!
On the stage, Pan Guohua looked down at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, hand over those two identity tokens and we won’t pursue this matter anymore. However, if there’s a next time, you’ll bear the consequences!”
Ye Chen looked at Pan Guohua and the group on the stage and smiled.
Was this group of people deliberately acting smug? Did they really think that he cared about such things?
In the end, they were just mortals. After a hundred years, they would turn into dust. Ye Chen, on the other hand, would still be here after a thousand years, or even ten thousand years!
At that time, he would look down at their tombstones and laugh. Actually, perhaps he might not even remember them or this incident. In the future, that would be how insignificant they were.
Ye Chen took out the two tokens from his pocket, threw them on the chair and left.
From now on, he would not interfere in Huaxia’s matters. It would be best if they never asked for his help again.
However, just as Ye Chen took a few steps forward, an angry voice shouted from below the stage.
“Since you want to strip Chief Instructor Ye’s rank, I, Lei Shuwei, request to resign!”
No one expected that Lei Shuwei would step forward at this time!
As the person-in-charge of Dragon Soul, he actually stood up for Ye Chen!
