Chapter 1323: Chapter 1318: Qualified Food

"Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more, if you want to do things in a more secretive way, just be careful not to be too abrupt or discordant. The people of Dujin Society are very cautious, and any sign of abnormality might scare them off."

"I know that."

Tang Ye nodded nonchalantly. He had plenty of patience for such affairs—after all these years, sometimes, the anticipation of certain events could be quite enjoyable.

At the same time, all Level 8 zombies present received a telepathic message. In the instant they received this information, all the zombies knew that it was time to play their part in the act.

"Where is Song Muyuan? Have him come find me later," Tang Ye asked, selecting Song Muyuan as one of the main characters for the upcoming drama, right off the bat.

The faces of all the Level 8 zombies changed, showing a peculiar expression. Ah Fu replied, "Boss, didn’t Song Muyuan come?"

"He didn’t come?"

"Well... he got duped by Abeng again."

"It’s fine. Have him come to Cloud Gorge Base with Gong Xiao as quickly as possible."

"OK."

The exchange, unbeknownst to others, concluded swiftly. Tang Ye and Su Sigui then left the Ye family’s mansion. After leaving the cell, Ye Changgong didn’t immediately leave the underground room; instead, he turned his back to Ye Zhong as if waiting for him to speak.

"Grandfather..."

"I’m not your grandfather..."

Ye Zhong fell silent and a look of struggle appeared on his face. Sensing Ye Zhong’s sad emotions, he sighed and said, "Do you think I’ve gone senile?"

"Yes, but I’m more interested in knowing the reasons behind your actions."

"Indeed, but you’ve disappointed me too much. Other people are fools, and you act like a brain-dead idiot! Do you think that by preserving the Ye family, it will exist forever?"

"I... I understand. If that’s the case, then I want to know why you chose Su Sigui? She’s just a woman, what can a woman do?"

"Woman? I didn’t choose her because she’s a woman! At least she sees things more clearly than you idiots. I know you’re aware of these issues, but she has made efforts, efforts for the sake of all humanity, whereas you? You hobble yourselves, always thinking you’re high and mighty, always believing you’re lucky, bullshit! When the day comes, you’ll deserve to die! Your existence, like maggots in a toilet, is disgustingly superfluous!"

"And yet you’re still misguided, thinking you’re irreplaceable? Ha, replace you? No! It doesn’t even have to be a human, a dog would do a better job than you lot of shit!"

"I know you still have doubts, but I can’t say too much. I can only tell you that I’ve dreamed of such scenarios too many times; no one can escape it. The Chinese Continent is all that’s left, and in the end, it won’t be a sanctuary either. I can only do everything within my power. All the honors of the four major families are nothing but a sham, reality won’t be lenient just because people fantasize about lucky escapes."

Confusion filled Ye Zhong’s eyes; from Ye Changgong’s words, all he could discern was that Ye Changgong felt a sense of crisis. But as for these matters, he couldn’t grasp them himself; he didn’t know how to understand and could only respond with a perplexed look.

Seeing Ye Zhong’s eyes, Ye Changgong could only shake his head in disappointment and said, "Get out of here, I don’t want to see you again."

These words filled Ye Zhong with regret, but he didn’t know how to feel what Ye Changgong felt. To him, it was like witnessing misfortune on someone else—either he felt indifferent or gloated over it.

He wanted to ask more, but Ye Changgong’s gaze still conveyed three words to him: impossible. Engaging with a fool meant either ignoring them or superficially agreeing with them. Attempting to make them wise would most likely drag you down to their level.

Helpless, Ye Zhong chose to leave. His retreating figure seemed so flustered to Ye Liuyi. She gritted her teeth, called out, "Grandfather!" and quickly followed.

This scene caused Ye Changgong to take a deep breath. He wanted to say something but restrained himself until their figures nearly disappeared at the staircase entrance, when he suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"

Ye Zhong’s body jerked, and he quickly turned around, eager to hear what else Ye Changgong had to say.

"You can go anywhere, but the Ye family will have nothing to do with you. You can ignore the future of the Ye family or choose to intervene, but I don’t care. No matter what you decide, Ye Zhong, remember, you are a human! Remember that! If that day comes, you will understand everything you don’t now. Time will make you grow, no matter your age. When the time comes, you must act, by any insidious means necessary, to ensure humanity continues to exist, not extinguished!"

Ye Zhong opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Ye Changgong wave his hand, "Go now."

After leaving the Ye family’s mansion, Tang Ye and the others were provided with over a dozen cars by the Ye family. They didn’t refuse; they got into the cars and drove away.

"Let’s go to the Judicial and Political Hub Center, it should be there, right?"

"Um, but are you sure?"

"Why not? Those bastards have been watching the live broadcast for so long. It makes sense for me to ask for a reward, right?"

"You... really are..."

"If they don’t give it to me, I’ll smash their building. Oh, causing mayhem in someone else’s territory feels so good. I really love it. Oh right, didn’t you say you only told me? How does Ye Changgong know?"

"I didn’t tell him, he guessed. Don’t expect to fool someone like him with petty tricks. To deal with him, you can only play dumb, the dumber the better."

"Why?"

"Because smart people love to overthink. What’s simple becomes complicated in their minds."

"You seem to have a way with dealing with such people?"

Su Sigui just smiled and didn’t say anything. She wouldn’t tell Tang Ye that she had suffered plenty at the hands of such old folks and had learned these tactics from those experiences.

The scenery outside the window retreated rapidly. Tang Ye straightened up and said seriously, "I think I might be staying at Cloud Gorge Base for quite a while?"

"Huh? Why?" Su Sigui was a bit slow to catch on, but she quickly thought of something and secretly thought, "What exactly is hidden in the research institute? A person or a thing?"

"There’s something that has successfully piqued my interest, so you’re very fortunate."

"The Order’s Guardian?"

"Those ghostly things are very qualified food for my zombies."
