When Ye Zhengran returned to the family, his expression was extremely grim. He directly found Ye Nantian, who was drinking tea in the backyard, and asked with a stern face, "What have you done!"
Ye Nantian was confused. "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhengran suppressed his anger and said, "Look for yourself. This is an order from the Hall of Honor. I asked around, and they said that you, Ye Nantian, colluded with the enemy and committed treason. Not only have I lost my position, but I have to report for summons at any time!"
Ye Zhengran slapped the document in front of him, full of anger.
How could he not be angry? All the troubles Ye Nantian had caused were now falling on him. It was certainly a tense situation.
"Tell me honestly, what did you do? If it's a minor issue, I'll find someone to handle it. Was it Ye Longlin? It must have been. Ye Longlin is back, and he's definitely targeting the Ye family. But I'm curious, what reason did Ye Longlin use to get me dismissed directly by the Hall of Honor?"
Ye Nantian shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Please don't ask. This matter is very troublesome."
It was indeed very troublesome. This matter involved the life and death of the Ye family, and he didn't want Ye Zhengran to be implicated.
"Speak!"
Ye Zhengran roared.
Ye Nantian, with no other choice, then recounted the entire sequence of events to Ye Zhengran.
After Ye Zhengran finished listening, he slumped onto a stool, his eyes dazed, filled with confusion, helplessness, and despair.
The charge of colluding with the enemy and committing treason was established!
As the head of the highest department, he was well aware of the conditions for establishing the crime of colluding with the enemy and committing treason, and thus knew the consequences. If there was the slightest misstep, the entire Ye family would be ruined!
"Do you know the consequences of this? Do you know that this will bring disaster to the Ye family? Do you even know the severity of this matter!"
Ye Zhengran roared, his old face flushed red from the shouting.
Ye Nantian stood up, hands behind his back, his eyes filled with a gloomy expression. "Elder Ye, do you know that the Ye family and Ye Longlin have reached a point of irreconcilable conflict? Our conflict with Ye Longlin is beyond repair. If you think we can still sit down and talk with Ye Longlin, you are too naive!
Before Ye Longlin disappeared, we were already at an impasse with him. If there's an opportunity, either we kill him, or he kills us. There are only these two possibilities!
Now that Ye Longlin has leverage over us, do you think he won't crush us? Ye Longlin intends to destroy the entire Ye family this time. Once he gains complete advantage, the Ye family will truly be finished. Therefore, in this final struggle, either we die, or Ye Longlin dies!"
Ye Zhengran fell silent. He didn't know how far this matter would escalate or what the final outcome would be.
"So, you planned the events of two years ago, causing the deaths of 500,000 people?"
Ye Nantian said faintly, "I might not have planned it. I merely provided the Dark Hall with information about Ye Longlin's expedition, its timing, and the number of troops. As for what would happen, I wasn't sure at the time, and at least I didn't expect such severe consequences.
And these consequences led to Ye Longlin's eventual survival. Over the past two years, he has retaliated fiercely against the Dark Hall, attacking military bases one by one with only three people, and ultimately obtaining the leverage over us."
Ye Zhengran: "..."
So, there is a cause and effect relationship in this world. If he hadn't sown the seed back then, the current fruit wouldn't have been borne.
Who could have imagined that the information he considered unimportant would lead to such consequences?
There is no rewind in life, and there are no "what ifs."
Everyone is an adult. Once you've done something, you must accept the consequences.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm old now. Let you young people handle these matters. As for me, I'll just enjoy my twilight years. If the Ye family is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed."
...
Dragon Pavilion Training Base.
Building such a large training base on the loess plateau was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It took two years to build, with tens of thousands of people working for two years, which speaks volumes about its grandeur.
Currently, on the training grounds, the little girl was having a blast, her eyes shining as she looked at all the aircraft, cannons, armored vehicles, and tanks.
"Little princess, little princess, you can't crawl inside here, it's very dangerous!"
At this moment, Ye Churan was curiously trying to crawl into a massive cannon barrel, but was fortunately stopped by Heilong.
Otherwise, if the little princess went inside, it would be difficult to explain.
If anything were to happen, they wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
Although accidents were unlikely here, one always feared the unexpected.
Mu Hanqi was not by her side, but she trusted those Ye Longlin trusted unconditionally. And after learning that this was Ye Longlin's territory, she felt even more at ease. kuAiδugg
Ye Longlin had worn her out over the past two nights, so she hadn't slept well. Upon arriving here, she went to Ye Longlin's resting room to sleep.
As for Ye Churan, she was handed over to Heilong.
Heilong didn't know how to take care of children, so he ended up leaving her on the training ground and told all the training Heilong Guards to watch over the child.
The usually silent military base was now filled with laughter.
"This is the little princess of our Dragon Pavilion. You all must keep a close eye on her. The little princess must not cry or get hurt!"
Heilong warned for the third time, fearing that the little princess might have an accident here, making it difficult to account for.
If it were a little boy, they wouldn't have minded, but it was a little princess!
"Perhaps... Captain, I can take the little princess to drive a tank. That way, the little princess will be with me, and our mission will be completed."
Heilong stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and said, "It's not impossible, but you must ensure her safety!"
"Understood!"
As a result, when Ye Longlin returned to the training base, Yuan Gang, accompanied by Heilong, approached Ye Longlin with a darkened expression and reported, "Boss, the little princess fired twenty-six shells this afternoon..."
Ye Longlin, who had just disembarked from the helicopter, heard this news and was stunned. Crucially... Ye Churan did it?
"Are... are you sure it was Yi Yi, not those guys driving tanks?"
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
Heilong gritted his teeth and explained, "Reporting to Boss, it was the little princess who did it. The little princess is still in the artillery camp, clamoring to play more."
