Chapter 81: Chapter 81 [Evaluating Liu Rumei]

Ye Tianchen didn’t pay any attention to Liu Rumei and the others. He walked ahead and got into a black sedan. He wasn’t feeling sleepy, having already slept for more than ten hours on the helicopter; he was simply hungry.

"Yong Chun Tai, Miss!" The leading middle-aged man with a scar on his face respectfully called out.

"Mhm, Liu Yu, you all have worked hard. We’re heading back to the manor now. Is everything arranged for the trip?" Liu Rumei asked with a smile.

"Everything is ready, Miss. Rest assured, nothing will go wrong!" Liu Yu nodded and said.

Scanning her surroundings, Yong Chun Tai noticed that the area was covered with weeds. The cold wind swept through, and it made sense why Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were worried. If enemies indeed tracked them here and launched a surprise attack, there was nowhere to hide, and regardless of one’s strength, anyone could be riddled with holes.

At that moment, Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, who were following behind Liu Rumei and Yong Chun Tai, were initially shocked when they saw Liu Yu. Hearing the name "Liu Yu" made them even more astonished.

Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, as elite members of the Falcon Unit, certainly knew many secrets not available to common folk. There were very few mercenary organizations in China, with the only one called "Slaughter". Its founder was a man named Liu Yu, who had once caused a significant stir in both the underworld and law enforcement, even alarming Yan Long and Cang Lang, two of China’s War Kings, who nearly took action to destroy the Slaughter Mercenary Group.

Later, for some unknown reason, the Slaughter Mercenary Group disbanded. As for their leader Liu Yu, this extremely powerful individual who was rumored to be capable of fighting Cang Lang and Yan Long, suddenly vanished. Over the years, many powerful forces sought Liu Yu to win him over for their own use but failed to locate him.

According to what Jiang Meng and Fei Yun knew, Liu Yu was a tall and burly man, formerly a secular disciple of Shaolin. His mastery of Hard Qigong was formidable. After joining the military and, out of discontent with corrupt superiors, hitting one, Liu Yu’s military career came to an end. At that time, both the Sky Dragon Team and the Falcon Unit extended their olive branches to Liu Yu, only to be rejected. He then established his own Slaughter Mercenary Group, gathering a number of former special forces soldiers and making a name in both legal and criminal worlds.

Liu Yu’s most distinguishing feature was the scar on his face that ran from the corner of his left eye down to his jaw, serving almost as his identification.

"You, you’re Liu Yu?" Jiang Meng asked with both surprise and respect.

"Hehe, that’s right," Liu Yu said with a smile.

"You... You’re the same Liu Yu who founded the Slaughter Mercenary Group and then disappeared?" Fei Yun asked in shock.

"That’s all in the past. I hear you two come from the Falcon Unit. With such experts protecting her, I am confident that Miss Liu will successfully complete her mission," Liu Yu said.

Although Liu Yu didn’t directly admit it, his response was as good as an admission. It left Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, who were stunned. Liu Yu’s name was indeed a significant mark in both the underworld and law enforcement. It was easy to imagine how powerful a person he must be to have almost prompted Yan Long and Cang Lang to deal with him. If he hadn’t suddenly disbanded the Slaughter Mercenary Group and disappeared, he might have fought with Cang Lang or Yan Long or possibly become the fourth War King of China.

"Predecessor Liu Yu, it’s an honor to meet you," Fei Yun said, slightly excited.

"I never imagined I would find you here, still fighting for the country and the people. Admirable," Jiang Meng added, still amazed.

"Hehe, let’s get in the car. Those are all things of the past. This mission is very challenging; I hope we can all work hard together to complete it," Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Yes!" Jiang Meng and Fei Yun both nodded, full of respect for the formidable mercenary, Liu Yu. Leaving aside how strong Liu Yu might be, his brilliant deeds in both the underworld and law enforcement were enough to command respect.

"Will you three ever be done? Are you guys having a bromance or what? I’m really hungry here, let’s get moving!" Ye Tianchen stuck his head out from the sedan and said irritably to Jiang Meng and the others.

"This kid..."

"Sooner or later, he’s going to taste the power of a true punch."

Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were so irritated by Ye Tianchen that they could hardly stand it. Every time they were excited about something, Ye Tianchen would say something to spoil the mood. They really wanted to punch him.

"Who is this kid?" Liu Yu also asked, slightly annoyed.

"Brother Yu, you don’t know. This guy’s name is Ye Tianchen—his skills aren’t much to speak of, but he talks big. He has also been sent to protect Miss Liu and complete the mission," Fei Yun said with a cold huff.

"Young man, just because you’ve got some skills doesn’t mean you can act recklessly; the Liu family estate demands obedience to orders,"

Liu Yu didn’t say anything else, but with just this one sentence, Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were secretly delighted. They had expected Liu Yu to be dissatisfied with Ye Tianchen, and if Liu Yu, rumored to potentially be the fourth War King of China, made a move against Ye Tianchen, it was likely that Ye Tianchen, no matter how strong he was, would end up with a pig’s head. Then, the two of them could enjoy watching Ye Tianchen become the butt of jokes instead of being verbally attacked by him all the time.

Indeed, just now Ye Tianchen had bypassed Liu Rumei and Yong Chun Tai and directly got into the sedan, which had already annoyed Liu Yu. Plus, interrupting his conversation with Jiang Meng and Fei Yun had made the hot-tempered Liu Yu even more eager to teach Ye Tianchen a lesson—if it weren’t for the presence of Liu Rumei and Yong Chun Tai, Liu Yu might have already made his move.

"Get in the car, let’s leave this place and head back to the Liu family estate," Yong Chun Tai ordered.

Three black stretch Lincolns, with Liu Yu sitting in the leading one along with several capable subordinates. Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were in the last car, while Ye Tianchen, Liu Rumei, and Yong Chun Tai were seated in the middle sedan, much to Jiang Meng and Fei Yun’s disdain.

Typically, to protect an important person, bodyguards would adopt this strategy: one car in the front, another in the back, while the person being protected rides in the middle car. Ye Tianchen, who was clearly there to ensure Liu Rumei completed her task, was instead placed in the protected car, which seemed quite laughable.

"Drive, drive, I’m so hungry I can’t stand it. Yong Chun Tai, does the Liu family estate have any lobsters, abalones, and the like? At least bring something out for me to fill my stomach, I’m starving," Ye Tianchen complained from the passenger seat.

"You’re just a sleepyhead, reincarnated from a starving ghost. We’re here to execute a task, not to eat and play," Liu Rumei said, frustrated. At such a critical moment, Ye Tianchen was not at all serious, only caring about sleeping and eating. How could she not be angry?

Ye Tianchen gave Liu Rumei a dismissive glance. The two had never seen eye to eye and harbored grudges, so naturally, they wouldn’t give a friendly look to each other. Even if Liu Rumei was as beautiful as a fairy, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t spare her a second thought. He had already excluded her from his emotional considerations, and after completing this mission, they would have nothing to do with each other — at least, that was what Ye Tianchen intended, though it was uncertain if things would go as planned.

"So by your logic, since the mission is critical, we’re supposed to stop eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and sleeping? If I don’t eat well, where will I get the energy to work? Do you expect me to carry you to exchange the secret documents when the time comes? I’ll tell you, I have a habit, I don’t carry women with small butts," Ye Tianchen retorted to Liu Rumei.

Liu Rumei’s face flushed with alternating waves of red and white in anger. Ye Tianchen was always picking on her weaknesses, arguing back whenever she made a command, and irritatingly targeting her vulnerabilities, making her so embarrassed that she felt the urge to bite him.

"You..." Liu Rumei’s mix of anger and embarrassment boiled over as she stared at Ye Tianchen with fierce eyes.

"Alright, alright, I don’t have time for this nonsensical talk. So what if you have a small butt? It’s nothing to be ashamed of, just remember to hide it from now on," Ye Tianchen continued to taunt Liu Rumei.

In fact, in Ye Tianchen’s memory, Liu Rumei’s behind wasn’t small at all, but rather perky, perky enough to inflame a man’s desire — a fair, upturned shape that would absolutely cause countless men to lose control when she twisted it lightly.

"Ye Tianchen, I will never be done with you," Liu Rumei couldn’t take it anymore and stood up to punch him.

Bang!

Bang!

Two loud noises followed by explosions forced the three sedans escorting Liu Rumei to come to a sudden halt. Ahead was a narrow road with a mountain split apart on both sides. The recent explosions had caused huge rocks to fall, blocking their path — it was clear that someone had planted bombs ahead of time and set them off as Ye Tianchen and his group were passing.

"We’re being ambushed!" Liu Yu shouted, the first to open the car door and rush out, firing several shots from his gun.

Liu Yu’s bodyguards, who were no pushovers, all exited their vehicles and immediately returned fire. Then, about a dozen assassins wearing camouflage clothes rushed down from the surrounding hills, shooting at the middle car carrying Ye Tianchen and the others. Had the stretch Lincolns not been armored, they would have been riddled with holes already.

"Order retreat, reverse the vehicles, get out..." Yong Chun Tai commanded the driver.

"It’s too late, there’s no way to back out now,"

No sooner had Ye Tianchen’s words dropped than another loud noise came from the rear, where Jiang Meng and Fei Yun’s car was. Huge rocks rolled down, trapping all three sedans in the middle and leaving them in a desperately trapped situation.
