378: Chapter 367: Chapter 364: Special Supply Cigarettes 378: Chapter 367: Chapter 364: Special Supply Cigarettes The soldier was dumbfounded, not expecting that these things happening around him, things he had never considered, but when they came from Ye Chen’s mouth, they made complete sense.

The soldier hurriedly asked, “Then…

then which gang should I join?”

Burp…

Ye Chen let out a satisfied belch, then held out two fingers, laughing, “Give me a cigarette first!”

“Ah?!” The soldier searched all over himself and finally found a crumpled cigarette, saying, “I stole this from the company commander’s cigarette box.

See if it’s smokable.”

“You little rascal, you dare to steal from the company commander’s stash?!” Ye Chen grinned.

He immediately lit the cigarette, took a drag, gave it a careful look, and laughed, “Not bad, it’s a Zhonghua, seems like your company commander’s living standard is pretty high!”

“No way, our Armed Police Company commanders and those above them all smoke special supply!” The soldier huffed in a tone filled with pride.

“That special supply for you?

That’s for your chiefs!” Ye Chen glanced at the rookie soldier with no curiosity, saying, “Work hard, and when you mix with the underworld later, you can smoke special supply cigarettes just like your chiefs!”

“Are special supply cigarettes something ordinary people can smoke?” The rookie soldier was startled.

“Are you dumb?

What can’t you buy with money?” Ye Chen glared at him and then took another drag of the cigarette.

Having eaten his fill and now smoking a cigarette made him feel pretty good.

Ye Chen leaned back against the headboard, and the curious rookie soldier quickly asked, “Big brother, you must be a part of the underworld, right?”

“Exactly!” Ye Chen nodded.

“Then take me with you!” The rookie soldier looked at Ye Chen excitedly.

“Sure!” Ye Chen nodded again and with a smirk, he asked, “So tell me, what can you do?

Can you fight?

Can you slash people?

Can you handle women?”

Ye Chen’s words immediately caused the rookie soldier to be stunned.

Who said you have to do all that to be in the underworld?

The rookie soldier asked in amazement, “Isn’t there a more civilized underworld?”

“F*ck, since when did the underworld become civilized?” Ye Chen looked at the rookie soldier in disbelief.

“Never mind then, I’ll just continue being a soldier!” The rookie finished and quickly took away Ye Chen’s emptied plate and walked out, while Ye Chen shouted at his departing figure, “Brother, let me know if you change your mind.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity!”

It has to be said, society has always warped the concept of the underworld.

Who says the underworld is wrong?

Who says the underworld is evil?

Ye Chen, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, lying at the head of the bed, thought about how the state’s crackdowns and propaganda approaches had led to many people having a skewed view of the underworld.

Squatting in the confinement room, Ye Chen suddenly found himself in a solitary world.

He lay quietly at the head of the bed, scenes from the past days playing over in his mind.

Ye Chen was suddenly shocked to find his personality had indeed changed quite a bit.

Take the recent incident with Fang Fei, for instance; if it had been the old days, he would never have done what he did.

After all, Fang Fei wasn’t Liu Momo.

In the past, he had killed Liu Wenxiu for Liu Momo.

But this time, he had killed Liu Junyuan because of Fang Fei.

He had completely wiped out Liu Jiangqiu’s children.

Thinking it through, Ye Chen seemed to understand some of it.

Perhaps it was because of that silly girl Tang Yan, which made him become so irritable and cruel.

He used the axe in his hand to protect his loved ones and friends.

That was the emblem on the Black Water Security Company’s uniform and had always been Ye Chen’s principle.

Tang Yan died for Ye Chen, making him vividly realize that his abilities and strength had not been enough to protect those around him.

Since returning from Leisure City, Ye Chen had been reflecting on this issue.

But before he could figure it out, he heard the news about Fang Fei being humiliated by Liu Junyuan.

That’s why Ye Chen flew into a rage for the woman’s sake.

Ye Chen lay in the small dark room the whole time, completely unaware of the outside situation.

His thoughts were straightforward: he wanted to see how this country would treat him in the end.

It was an attitude of “Treat me as a patriot, and I shall repay as a patriot.” However this country treats me, that’s how I’ll treat it.

Ever since Ye Chen’s identity changed, he had undergone the Luo Sijue family’s indoctrination.

This so-called indoctrination was actually quite simple: it was nothing more than instilling some ideas of loyalty to the Luo Sijue family.

Just like how a Chinese person goes to the United States, becomes a local official there, and then the US side would instill some American ideology, urging them to take US citizenship and strictly adhere to American laws, thus becoming a citizen of the United States.

Ye Chen was the same, ever since he was chosen from the Nanjing Military District’s Special Action Forces to be the successor of the Luo Sijue family.

Ye Chen was destined no longer to be a Chinese, but a stateless person.

Yet, he also possessed an omnipotent passport that was accepted in any country.

This passport was his ID card, his pass.

The Luo Sijue family uniformly issued such passports to their members.

Therefore, Ye Chen regarded China much as he did the United States, with a very objective stance towards the country.

Although it was his motherland, although it was the place of his birth.

But Ye Chen, who had not enjoyed corresponding maternal love since childhood, let alone the welfare of the state, felt disappointed with this nation.

The little hope that remained in his heart was destroyed by the parasites of the state.

Ye Chen so wished that while he loved his country, the country would also love him in return, he wished that this time the nation would take a very fair stance on this issue.

…

However, could Ye Chen’s wish really come true?

At this moment, Liu Jiangqiu could be described as running around on all fronts; with a grip on substantial savings and funds, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings, he hurried about every corner of Beijing, visiting every official he could pull strings with.

Then, he threw down vast sums of money.

All for one reason—to have Ye Chen executed!

An official from a local place running around in Beijing and throwing money everywhere, how could such actions go unnoticed by the relevant intelligence units?

And thus, this news quickly made its way into Zhongnanhai.

In a corner of Beihai facing the White Tower.

Across from the White Tower, within the red walls and green tiles, five elderly men sat in a courtyard sipping tea, watching as the greenery of early spring slowly spread across every corner of Beijing.

“Have you heard that a Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Committee from a city down south has been running about in Beijing?” An elderly man with a youthful face and white hair said with a chuckle.

“When has such a thing ever not happened?” Another elder with gray hair said with a light smile.

“It’s different this time; it’s said that this guy is trying to deal with some young chap!” The elderly man with youthful face laughed heartily, “For this, I even made a point of having someone pay attention.

Guess what?”

“What?” The other elders all turned their heads to look at him, curious.

“Ha-ha…” The old man with white hair laughed, “This young man, you all might actually recognize him!”

“Oh?

Impossible, right?” The rest of them looked at him in surprise.

There couldn’t be many people in the whole of China whom these old timers would recognize.

And even if there were, they would undoubtedly be in Beijing, not running off to the south.

So they all asked curiously, “Who could it be?”

“Ah, have you forgotten?” The old man with white hair sighed, “This young man made quite an impression on me…”

Seeing the old man’s demeanor, the others immediately had some understanding.

An elderly man dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit quickly asked, “Could it be…

Ye…

that young Ye Family chap?”

“Yes!” The white-haired elder nodded, “Some things, even after so many years, remain unforgettable!”

“Heh-heh, Elder Pang, it seems you still cannot forget those past events!” The others chuckled pensively.

“How could I forget?” The old man with white hair sighed, “The entire Ye Family, sixty-three people, wiped out overnight.

Sigh, only Ye Chen was left, that young boy.

How unfortunate is his life?

He grew up in an orphanage.

It was only later that agents discovered him and took him into the military!”

There are some things that can’t be forgotten, that will always be remembered.

There was a time when Ye Chen was also a distinguished household in Beijing.

Ye Chen’s father, Ye Hai, could be said to have been the youngest Major General in Huaxia at that time, commanding the Ye Family Army at just thirty-five, becoming a legend in Huaxia.

But as it often happens, the good do not live long, the trees that stand tall in the forest are the ones that are first to be blown down by the wind.

No one knows exactly whom the Ye Family had offended to have all sixty-three members slaughtered, leaving Ye Chen as the sole survivor.

“Enough, let’s not talk about these sad things!” The elder in the Sun Yat-sen suit quickly waved his hand, “Let’s leave these matters for Ye Chen to deal with in the future.

We are old now, we’ve done what we could.

When Ye Chen was selected by the Rothschild family, it was us old guys who had approved it with a show of hands!”

In fact, everyone present had vivid memories of what had happened.

The reason they let Ye Chen become the heir to the Rothschild family was so he could gain access to that world, to lay the foundation for his future vengeance.

“Heh-heh, that Ye Family boy, he is truly something!” The man with gray hair said with a faint smile from behind, “In just two years of military service, he mastered all mechanized weapons of the conventional forces.

Which one couldn’t he handle, tank or plane?

Back then, he was almost carrying missiles to fight armed groups in Africa!”

“Ha-ha…

when you mention that, it reminds me of something even more interesting!” The white-haired man immediately burst into laughter.

“Oh, what could make Elder Pang so merry?” The man with gray hair behind asked curiously.

“Well, it’s actually a story from several years ago!” The elderly man with a cheerful face said, “It was when I was recuperating in the Nanjing Military District…”
