Chapter 1283: Chapter 1282: Research Facility
In the manor.
The streetlights were dim, but they illuminated the surrounding vegetation. Although the manor was spacious and empty, it didn’t feel cold. Under the dim yellow light, there was a sense of warmth, reminiscent of the backyard at Grandma’s house during dusk.
Fu Zhou and Ye Liangcai walked on the stone path, maintaining their silence.
After a long while, Ye Liangcai broke the silence.
"Fu Zhou... or perhaps, I should call you Yang Yanyu, Brother Yang!" Ye Liangcai said.
Fu Zhou shook his head slightly, "Yang Yanyu died eighteen years ago. I am Fu Zhou now!"
Hearing this, Ye Liangcai couldn’t help but sigh.
He knew that Fu Zhou still hadn’t let go of the past.
However, if anyone went through what happened back then, they would find it hard to let go.
What happened in the past was a devastating blow to Fu Zhou, leaving him with a broken family and home!
Though Yang Chen’s grandfather wasn’t persecuted to death by them, he secluded himself beside the old sage because of them and eventually passed away.
Yang Chen had been away from them since he was young, searching for eighteen years, and only just reunited now!
The pain Fu Zhou endured during this time was incomprehensible to others.
"I asked you to come out because I have a question to ask," Fu Zhou said in a deep voice.
Ye Liangcai looked at Fu Zhou and said solemnly, "Go ahead and ask!"
The past incidents were indeed the Ye family’s debt to the Yang family. If Fu Zhou made any requests, Ye Liangcai would try his best to fulfill them.
Fu Zhou looked at Ye Liangcai, staring into his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask you, which side does your Ye family stand on now?"
Hearing the question, Ye Liangcai furrowed his brows.
"Don’t forget why the past incidents started! Xiaochen has grown up now! With his ability, he is definitely a huge threat. Don’t tell me that the past incidents won’t happen again! No one can predict the thoughts of those in power! The temptation of authority, who can control it?" Fu Zhou stared coldly at Ye Liangcai.
Ye Liangcai looked deeply at Fu Zhou and sighed heavily in his heart.
He understood that Fu Zhou still resented the Ye family!
Back then, the Ye family did not take action. If they had helped, the outcome wouldn’t have been like this.
At that time, the Ye family chose to remain silent.
Although Master Ye had significant health issues back then, the Ye family knew about the past incidents but chose silence in the end, indirectly leading to the Yang family’s decline.
If it weren’t for the alliances back then, the Yang family could definitely have had a place among the Jin Chen families, no less than the Ye family!
Faced with this problem, Ye Liangcai didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing Ye Liangcai’s inability to answer, Fu Zhou sneered, his expression cold as ice, and his tone was as if it were dripping with icicles, "You saw our Yang family helpless back then and chose silence, pretending to be deaf and blind! Now you see our child rising above others and you turn back to rebuild the good! Your Ye family indeed has good plans! If Xiaochen likes Ye Xin, I won’t object! But your Ye family should not expect to gain any more benefits from us! It’s just like my father was blind back then to have helped your father!"
With that, Fu Zhou turned and left with large strides.
Ye Liangcai watched Fu Zhou’s departing figure, his face full of bitterness.
He couldn’t answer at all.
Back then, Master Ye was supported by Elder Yang. Without Elder Yang, there would be no glorious Ye family today!
But when the incident occurred, the Ye family indeed shrank back.
Faced with Fu Zhou’s questioning, he had nothing to say.
Some things, he couldn’t speak about either.
Now that it has come to this, he could only go back and truthfully report the situation to Master Ye and see how Master Ye resolves it!
Ye Liangcai sighed repeatedly and shook his head as he walked back.
...
That night, there was no sleep!
Ye Xin and Wei Xueqing were reunited, naturally having many secrets to share between girlfriends.
Even Chen Siyan pestered Yang Chen for quite a while until Yang Chen finally drove her out.
After sending Chen Siyan away, Yang Chen immediately entered the intelligence network they had established in the Flame Country.
Yang Chen quickly started organizing information about the group of robbers and simultaneously contacted Jian Feng to understand the situation there.
The next day, at five in the morning.
Yang Chen, Ye Xin, and others set out.
The flight departed at six o’clock.
By seven o’clock, the plane landed at Jin Chen Airport.
They boarded the armored vehicle that came to pick them up and headed to the experimental base.
In the distant suburbs.
The experimental base.
This was once a missile testing base, and the surrounding ecosystem was already destroyed, with no grass growing.
They didn’t go directly to the barren land but walked through a downward passage into the underground.
The experimental base was also placed underground.
This allowed for better isolation to prevent experimental leaks.
Once they entered underground, they were stopped by a team of heavily armed people.
"Get out!" the leader commanded.
The driver turned off the engine and turned to Yang Chen and the others, "Get out, no matter who you are, they have to inspect, otherwise they will never let you pass!"
Ye Liangcai frowned, "Even us?"
The driver smiled wryly, "Even if the top leader comes, they still have to undergo inspection, and not a single inspection item can be skipped!"
Ye Liangcai seemed somewhat displeased.
But Yang Chen said, "Very well! Let’s get out and undergo the inspection!"
At such a critical place and time, this kind of inspection method is absolutely correct.
After getting out, Yang Chen was immediately taken aside for a full-body check, with advanced equipment scanning and even facial recognition. This recognition equipment could detect makeup and disguise, revealing if anyone was trying to infiltrate in disguise.
After undergoing thorough inspection, the group was allowed to pass.
However, the outside vehicles could not be used anymore. Instead, they used the electric cars equipped inside.
This method eliminated any chance of someone trying to infiltrate to cause destruction.
The driver drove them and quickly entered the second security gate.
Entering this gate meant entering the interior of the laboratory.
From the main entrance, a scan was performed first to confirm no weapons or other forbidden items were carried before being allowed entry into a sterilization room for decontamination.
After decontamination, they entered a room to change clothes, then underwent decontamination again before entering the actual interior of the laboratory.
As soon as they exited the room, Yang Chen saw a smiling Night Fire.
"Night Fire!" Seeing Night Fire made Yang Chen appear very excited.
"Boss!" Night Fire looked at Yang Chen, his eyes glistening with emotion.
"You brat!" Yang Chen laughed and scolded, opening his arms to give Night Fire a bear hug and asked, "All better?"
"All recovered!" Night Fire replied.
"That’s good!" Yang Chen was very pleased, patting Night Fire on the shoulder, "It’s great that you’ve recovered!"
"Yes!" Night Fire stood at attention, saluting Yang Chen, "Boss! I owe you my life again!"
