Chapter 637: Chapter 618:

Seeing the old man get angry, Zhang Bufen quickly lowered his head and let the old man berate him, knowing that his current support was this old man. If this old head didn’t stand up for him, who would give a damn about him in the future? Therefore, Zhang Bufen could only respond helplessly, "Fine, I’ll go, okay?"

"Ha ha, that’s more like it!" the old man said with a meaningful tone, "Bufen, don’t think it’s just bad for you. When you go to the military and come back polished, I can arrange a job for you in the army, right? You can’t always be wandering around outside, can you?"

"Grandfather’s teachings are right!" Zhang Bufen immediately nodded and said, "I will work hard and definitely not let down Grandfather’s expectations!"

"Alright, go on then. I will make the arrangements for you in a few days!" the old man laughed.

...

In Tongzhou City, Zhang Yantong and Zhang Kaiguo sat facing each other, Zhang Yantong’s face looking unpleasant.

"Dad, why has it come to this? What exactly did the Heavenly Reversal Gang do wrong?" Zhang Yantong bit her teeth and angrily said, "They didn’t steal, they didn’t rob, they started with a security company, and just opened a few casinos. Yet they’re being struck down like this, so many people arrested, even facing execution by firing squad?"

"Ah, Tongtong, you don’t understand!" Zhang Kaiguo was equally distressed; a son-in-law is half a son, and how could he feel any better attacking his own son? For the past half a month, he had hardly been able to sleep, constantly watching the political winds blow in Beijing. A single order from Beijing could send shivers down the spine of the whole country. Even if it was wrong, one had to stick to it till the end. Zhang Kaiguo was acutely aware of the problems facing the country.

Struggles cannot change overnight, and Ye Chen just happened to stand at the point of conflict, thus becoming a sacrificial piece in the political struggle.

"I just don’t understand it!" Zhang Yantong gritted her teeth as tears fell down her cheeks. Ye Chen had just called, and he didn’t say a single word of reproach, only words of concern for her and apologies for not being by her side these past days. Hearing these gentle words from Ye Chen made Zhang Yantong feel even more remorseful. Biting her teeth, she said, "Why can’t the people at the top see all that Ye Chen has done? Just because of one disagreement, they start to wipe him out, without leaving any room for leniency!"

"All I can tell you is that Ye Chen is a sacrificial piece in the struggles above!" Zhang Kaiguo smiled faintly and said, "It hurts you, it hurts me too, but you and I can’t change anything, you know?"

"Whimper..." Zhang Yantong simply broke down crying. The frustration in her heart finally burst out! Truly powerless, the pitiful influence she held in her hands was nothing compared to the might of the heavens, absolutely pathetic.

...

Soon, the conflict spread to the Northwest and Shanghai, where the Heavenly Reversal Gang was fighting to the death. With help from the He Family, the Heavenly Reversal Gang in Shanghai faced much less pressure, but that did not mean there were no issues. However, one day in March, the Heavenly Reversal Gang suddenly received an order to withdraw from China entirely.

In a room in the He Manor in Shanghai, Ye Chen and the others gathered.

"Brother Chen, are we really going to leave?" Feng Zhixiao asked anxiously.

"That’s right!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "I refuse to believe that without domestic support, my Heavenly Reversal Gang can’t survive. When the time comes, I want them to beg me to come back!"

Ye Chen’s expression was somewhat fierce because his heart was filled with extreme anger. According to news from all over, the Heavenly Reversal Gang had suffered devastating losses. In Tongzhou City, more than half of the little brothers had been killed or injured, and the rest had fled to Jianghuai City. And conditions in Jianghuai City were even worse; the headquarters were bombed out, but fortunately, most of the little brothers had already fled to Hong Kong, a wise decision.

"Brother Chen, what about our brothers?" Feng Zhixiao asked anxiously.

"Our rapid development has displeased some people, so they keep suppressing and attacking us!" Ye Chen said with a cold laugh, "Since that’s the case, we should live even better, and with a bit more style."

"Brother Chen, just give the order!" Liu the Tyrant’s head shone even brighter under the light, making him appear somewhat distorted.

"Let’s all return to our own divisions!" Ye Chen glanced at everyone and said, "Zhi Xiao, go to Changbai Mountain and find a way to get the brothers out. I will send ships from Dalian port to pick you up and take you all to Japan. Once there, find a way to establish a footing; Liu the Tyrant, go back to Macau, and stabilize the situation; Li Tieniu, return to the Golden Triangle, and with the help of Yao Yue, set up your base in Myanmar. It will be easier for you; Xiao Bai, Jiang Wei, go to Inner Mongolia, take the little brothers through Kazakhstan, into the Middle East, and try to establish a presence in Saudi Arabia; Haozi, Da Xia, you go back to Taiwan. Aim to confront the Bamboo Union Gang as soon as possible."

"Brother Chen, what about me?" Da Hei was taken aback.

"You head to Hong Kong. From now on, that’s where our headquarters will be!" Ye Chen took a deep breath and said angrily, "I refuse to believe that without the Mainland, the Heavenly Reversal Gang can’t survive. We’re still going to establish the Black Water Security Company. Da Hei, once back in Hong Kong, register the Black Water Security Company as a Hong Kong-funded company."

"Yes!" Da Hei immediately nodded.

With the situation urgent and time of the essence, everyone almost immediately stood up to leave. Since the Heavenly Reversal Gang implemented the integrated command structure, they cared more for their subordinates than before, as every man under them had to be personally trained and raised by their side. Ye Chen was their big brother, and they were the Hidden Generals, each holding their forces, centering around Ye Chen to form the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

Everyone set off, leaving Shanghai behind. The training in the Ancient Lava Cave had made them feel a significant improvement in their strength. On reaching the second layer, their physical capabilities had seen a tremendous increase. It wasn’t just about meditation in the second layer; each person had to complete specific training tasks and learn some military combat techniques to enhance their abilities.

With the Shanghai forces retreating, they smuggled directly from Shanghai port into Japan. Landing in Nagasaki, Japan, they began to set up camp. A race against time was now underway.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen turned back to Jianghuai City, looking at the ruins of what once had been a besieged fortress, his heart filled with emotion.

"Hey, isn’t that Ye Chen?" On the street, someone curiously looked at Ye Chen standing in front of the ruins.

"Yeah, it really is!" another person immediately agreed.

Ye Chen’s return quickly spread among many people in Jianghuai City. Once Zhang Dadan heard the news, he immediately gathered some little brothers and hurried over, seeing his chance for revenge finally arriving. He had never believed the saying that ’heaven is fair,’, but now he was a firm believer, for heaven had indeed shown its fairness by making him experience the highs and lows of life.

A group hurried to the former headquarters’ ruins, where Ye Chen, clad in a black suit and with a cigarette in his mouth, stood in contemplation, disregarding the pointing and chatter of passersby.

It was as if it were all just a painting, where Ye Chen was merely a figure within it. Amidst the rubble, traces of blood could still be vaguely seen. Ye Chen knew that a fierce battle must have taken place here, with heavy casualties.

"Yo, used to be a gang boss and now trying your hand at being an artist?" Zhang Dadan, brimming with pride, stood behind Ye Chen and sneered, "Ye Chen, you’ve finally come back. Today, shouldn’t we settle both new and old scores?"

"How do you plan to settle them?" Ye Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth, back turned to Zhang Dadan, looked utterly unconcerned.

"Shit, still acting tough in front of our boss?" one of the little brothers charged forward aggressively, wielding a machete and coming to a stop about three meters from Ye Chen, brandishing the blade.

The onlookers sighed, feeling a sense of melancholy. The once-respected underworld godfather was now being berated by a mere underling; indeed, even an expired boss was apparently fair game. The crowd around shaking their heads at the sad situation.

However, just when everyone felt a deep sense of pity, Ye Chen suddenly moved, a blur of motion. Everyone saw a shadow flash by, and the next moment, the little brother was sent flying like a kicked soccer ball, rolling on the ground a dozen times before coming to a stop, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood. Several other little brothers rushed to help him, but the man was already breathless.

"Boss, he’s dead!" a little brother cried out.

"That’s ruthless enough!" Zhang Dadan took a deep breath, amazed by the force of a kick that could kill a man—likely all his ribs were shattered. He knew Ye Chen was formidable but hadn’t expected him to be this powerful.

"I hate it when flies and mosquitoes buzz around in front of me!" Ye Chen let out a cold laugh.

"You bullied me in prison. If it weren’t for the five million dollars you stole from me, would you even be here today?" Zhang Dadan laughed coldly, "Today, I’ve come to settle that score with you!"
