Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 509: Chapter 508 【Reconciling with the Future Father-in-law?】

[PS: Here’s the second update for today. They say kind children get mooncake tickets, so Xiao Gou wishes everyone an early ”Mid-Autumn Festival” happiness, will there be a kind reward, right?!]

Ye Tianchen was reborn from an apocalyptic world and is unfamiliar with, and uninterested in, the power struggles between nations on Earth. However, he knows one principle: wherever there is life, there will be strife, and such strife is a matter of life and death. Although he knew the Ling family’s situation wouldn’t be easy to resolve, he didn’t expect the U.S. government to be so impatient, so shameless, and so quick to offer their final terms. It seems that even if they have to wipe out the entire Ling family, they’re determined to prevent them from relocating and developing back in their home country.

”Damn it, seems like Hei Bama is a really tough character too!” Ye Tianchen cursed inwardly.

This made Ye Tianchen think of the last time he went to the U.S. to deal with something along with Liu Rumei and others. He had almost met Hei Bama—if it hadn’t been for Thomas’s arrival, he might really have been invited by Hei Bama for a meal. Now that this matter also involved the Ling family, to whom he had no connection. However, his relationship with Ling Yuxun was significant, and standing idly by would be very difficult.

”Tianchen, I beg you, you must save my grandfather!” said Ling Yuxun, her beautiful eyes filled with tears again, causing Ye Tianchen to feel heartache just looking at her.

Ye Tianchen could understand Ling Yuxun’s feelings. She had always lived a carefree life, enshrouded in wealth and luxury. If it weren’t for the Ling family’s desire to return to their roots and relocate back home, Ling Yuxun would have led a happy life. She wouldn’t have experienced her family being massacred, her younger brother dying, the old lady Ku who had always protected her also died, and her father Ling Yue had become disabled. Now her grandfather in the U.S. might also be killed. It was indeed too cruel to expect a girl to bear all this.

”Yuxun, don’t be too anxious. Since the U.S. government said within a week, then your grandfather won’t be harmed in this period; he’s temporarily safe,” Ye Tianchen said to Ling Yuxun with a smile.

”But, Tianchen...”

”Let’s go. Those corn cakes of yours aren’t going to fill me up. You need to make me a hearty meal...” Ye Tianchen interrupted Ling Yuxun.

”Tianchen...”

”If my stomach isn’t full, I won’t have the strength to rescue your grandpa in the U.S. Besides, I’m not familiar with your Ling family. Shouldn’t you give me a brief rundown of your family situation first?” Ye Tianchen said with a smile, shaking his head.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, the worried look on Ling Yuxun’s face vanished in an instant, replaced by a brilliant smile, because she trusted him. She deeply trusted this man from the bottom of her heart. She knew that if Ye Tianchen was willing to take action, he would definitely be able to save her grandfather. Now that Ye Tianchen said this, it was as good as a promise, so how could Ling Yuxun not be happy?

”Let’s go. If my stomach is too empty, I might have trouble thinking straight!” Ye Tianchen joked as he looked at Ling Yuxun.

”Okay!” Ling Yuxun nodded obediently and hurried to keep up with Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen looked at Ling Yuxun. The girl had grown up with him as childhood friends. Their feelings for each other were innocent and pure. He might ignore the Ling family but not Ling Yuxun. If a person is devoid of passions and desires, then they are no longer human. After being reborn on Earth, Ye Tianchen treasured his relations and friends in this life all the more because those were things he didn’t have on the apocalyptic planet, things he had lost there. Having the opportunity to have them again, Ye Tianchen would not let anyone destroy them. Those who dared to meddle would be killed without mercy!

When Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun returned to the cabin, Yang Yi had already left. As for Ling Yue, he was still reading the newspaper. Seeing Ye Tianchen walk in, Ling Yue’s eyes revealed a slight change. He had talked a lot with Yang Yi. The Ling family’s current situation was very tricky. China wouldn’t stand by idly, yet they couldn’t do too much; it was impossible to start a war between two nations over the Ling family.

Nations are always at war, the scale ranging from large to small, many unknown to the public. Even the hegemonic U.S. has to operate covertly, daring not to act brazenly. This is where special agents and assassins come in, taking on these secret tasks. For the Ling family’s case, the U.S. government couldn’t openly prevent or massacre; similarly, the Chinese government couldn’t confront openly. Both could only covertly compete—and such competition has its benefits. Whoever loses can only stew in their own juice, unable to voice their suffering.

It was like the last time when Ye Tianchen swept through Washington, making Hei Bama so angry he smashed countless glasses, a grudge he still harbors. But having swallowed this bitter pill, Hei Bama couldn’t tell anyone, not even others in the U.S. government. For if he did, it would only turn the U.S. and Hei Bama into a global laughingstock.

”Dad, I’ll go cook, and you two... you and Tianchen have a good chat!” Ling Yuxun glanced at her father, Ling Yue, worried they might start arguing with Ye Tianchen again, and spoke in a somewhat soft voice.

”Go ahead, make some of your specialty dishes!” Ling Yue, uncharacteristically, said with a smile.

In the base of the Heavenly Gang Level warriors, the safety of father and daughter, Ling Yue and Ling Yuxun, was absolutely guaranteed. Sending them here for protection was probably the highest level of security measure in China, showing the great importance and preferential treatment given to the Ling family. The Heavenly Gang Level warriors were all extremely busy and had no time to take care of Ling Yue and Ling Yuxun. Fortunately, Ling Yuxun knew how to cook and could take care of her father Ling Yue.

Ling Yuxun glanced at Ye Tianchen, didn’t say anything, and walked toward the back of the cabin. She knew that when it came to her father Ling Yue and Ye Tianchen, she couldn’t say much. Her father disapproved of Ye Tianchen, and Ye Tianchen disdained to be looked upon favorably by her father, which was very frustrating. It had made Ling Yuxun sad and cry before, but now was not the time to be sad. What worried Ling Yuxun most was the safety of her grandfather; could the despicable and shameless government of the U.S. suddenly become assassins?

Ye Tianchen sat down next to her, yawned, ready to sleep, and also thought about how to help Ling Yuxun deal with the Ling family’s issue. Within a week, which is to say he had to deal with the Ling family’s matters within a week, and possibly travel to the U.S. once again. The prospect of going to the U.S. again didn’t excite Ye Tianchen much. The last time he went there with Liu Rumei and fought a big battle against the captain of the Superpower Special Agent Team, Thomas. Although Thomas was a strong opponent, the old man wasn’t the bloodthirsty kind, and another fight would be pointless. So, Ye Tianchen thought, if he could help Ling Yuxun rescue her grandfather without going to the U.S., that would be best and save him the trouble.

”Young man, how about we have a chat?” At that moment, Ling Yue, who had been sitting next to him reading a newspaper, glanced at Ye Tianchen, who was resting with his eyes closed, and couldn’t help but speak up.

But Ye Tianchen pretended not to hear, infuriating Ling Yue, who frowned and thought, how impolite can this kid be? Even if he had grievances against me, and I had been somewhat biased against him in the past, it’s true that was a little wrong, but considering the past relationship between our two families, and how close you and my daughter are, possibly becoming my son-in-law, shouldn’t you show some courtesy to your future father-in-law?

That was what Ling Yue thought, but Ye Tianchen remained unmoved, even starting to snore to one side, which almost made Ling Yue throw a bottle at him. However, after thinking it over, Ling Yue restrained himself. As he had just been discussing with Yang Yi, the younger generation is different, and we shouldn’t impose the old generation’s thinking on them. What’s more important is that Ling Yue’s previous humiliation of Ye Tianchen had naturally upset him, and the most suitable person to save the Ling family was Ye Tianchen.

”Ye Tianchen, I want to talk to you!” Ling Yue spoke up again.

Then, Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yue, and said while yawning, ”Just say what you want to say, we don’t have much to talk about!”

”I know you have grievances against me, but I also have my difficulties. It’s not easy for the Ling family to relocate back to our home country, I had to make sure nothing went wrong. Keeping Yuxun away from you was also for her safety. I think you, as a father, can understand my feelings, right?” Ling Yue sighed and looked at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.

”I understand, just say it, I’m a bit sleepy and want to go to sleep!” Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and said to Ling Yue.

”No matter what, I hope you can lend a hand to our Ling family, even if it’s just for Yuxun’s sake. I know you have the strength. I really have no other options,” Ling Yue said, shaking his head.

Ye Tianchen didn’t say anything and closed his eyes again. He didn’t want to talk to Ling Yue at all, and didn’t find him interesting. If not for Ling Yuxun, he wouldn’t have come here today.

With a thud, the next moment, Ling Yue actually knelt on the ground and said to Ye Tianchen, ”Please, save my father!”

”Uncle, please get up, get up. I was just joking; I’ve already promised Yuxun that I would help you!” Ye Tianchen had not expected Ling Yue, a man of such status, to kneel before him, which really made him somewhat depressed.

Ling Yue was helped up by Ye Tianchen, looked at him and smiled, saying, ”I’m getting old, I shouldn’t be using old viewpoints and ways of handling things to judge you young people. It’s lucky for Yuxun to have you as a friend!” (To be continued.
