460: Chapter 453: Shock 460: Chapter 453: Shock On his trip to Myanmar North, Chen Hai alone defeated thousands of Kachin Army soldiers.
Although the Kachin Army’s power was limited, they had helicopters and tanks at their disposal, and their numbers were certainly significant.
Such a major incident couldn’t possibly be kept under wraps.
After all, the scene at the time had far too many eyewitnesses!
Given Yanhuang Country’s intelligence capabilities, they naturally couldn’t be completely unaware of the incident.
Perhaps the files related to Chen Hai were already on the desks of certain individuals up top.
Instead of waiting for them to come to him, it was better to be proactive and to openly display his strength for those certain individuals to see…
Coming to Yuedong, within the courtyard where Ye Rongzhong lived, besides the matter of Li Feng, Chen Hai could not deny the notion of showing off his martial prowess.
After listening to Chen Hai’s speech, Ye Rongzhong and Elder Yun looked at each other, a bout of mutual bemusement passing between them.
They were clearly puzzled by Chen Hai’s suggestion, totally clueless as to his true intention!
After a brief silence, Ye Rongzhong spoke up and inquired, “Testing strength, what kind of test do you have in mind?”
Whether it was him or Elder Yun, they were both of advanced age and seldom involved themselves in affairs.
But as one of Yanhuang Country’s top families, their influence in various aspects could not be ignored.
Perhaps with just one phone call, their words could reach the highest levels.
“Uncle Ye, and you are…” Chen Hai’s face always wore a spring-like smile as his gaze shifted from Ye Rongzhong to Elder Yun.
What was this elder’s identity?
What was his status?
Chen Hai had no idea.
But birds of a feather flock together, and this elder, being in such a well-guarded villa, able to converse and jest with Ye Rongzhong, and even battle wits over a board game!
Without a doubt, Chen Hai could be certain that this man’s status was extraordinary and likely not much different from Ye Rongzhong’s.
“My surname is Yun, you can just call me Elder Yun,” the elder replied with a light nod and a smile.
This was his first time meeting Chen Hai.
If he hadn’t been completely ignorant about Chen Hai, he wouldn’t have reacted so strongly when Chen Hai suddenly appeared near him and Ye Rongzhong!
But now, after hearing the brief dialogue between Chen Hai and Ye Rongzhong, he had already picked up quite a lot.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Chen Hai appeared to be eternally youthful was enough to pique his great interest!
“Elder Yun?
Understood,” Chen Hai smiled and continued, “Just how strong can my strength be?
I’m sure many people above would like to know the answer!”
“In this regard, I myself really have no idea!”
“All I know is that conventional weapons can no longer harm me.”
“The most powerful weapons currently possessed by countries around the world would definitely be nuclear bombs, without a doubt.”
“What I’m talking about testing is to see if I could now withstand the explosion of a nuclear bomb…”
“What…” Sitting in his chair, Elder Yun, who had been smiling at Chen Hai, shuddered with shock upon hearing Chen Hai’s words, nearly tumbling out of his seat.
“Chen Hai, are you sure you’re not kidding with us…”
Compared to him, Ye Rongzhong’s reaction was hardly any better.
After stammering in shock for quite a while, he gazed at Chen Hai with disbelief, seeking confirmation.
“Uncle Ye, do you think I would joke about something like this?”
“Don’t overthink it; I simply want to test just how strong I have become!”
“You know, I’m just a country bumpkin.
I can’t get my hands on a nuclear bomb myself, so I had to turn to you for help!”
With a confident smile on his face, Chen Hai nodded and responded.
His words were observed and heard by Ye Rongzhong and Elder Yun.
Neither of them spoke, simply exchanging glances, both falling into silence.
The physical body withstanding a nuclear blast—for an ordinary flesh and blood body to achieve such a feat…
Even though Chen Hai had given a definite answer, Ye Rongzhong and Elder Yun still found it hard to believe such a thing could be true!
Frankly, even if someone else were present, their reaction after hearing Chen Hai’s words would hardly be much stronger than those two.
Smiling at the two of them, Chen Hai did not rush them, simply waiting quietly.
“Chen Hai, the test you’ve proposed is extremely important, and there’s no way I can give you an immediate answer here,” said Ye Rongzhong after a long silence and a brief exchange with Elder Yun.
“Let’s wait some time, and once there’s a decision about this matter, I’ll inform you; what do you think?”
“Understood, understood—once there’s news, you can just call me!” Chen Hai nodded in response.
Ye Rongzhong’s answer was reasonable and expected.
A test that involved using a nuclear bomb was definitely something that needed to be discussed and deliberated, not something one person could decide on impulsively!
Getting such a response from Ye Rongzhong, Chen Hai was already quite satisfied.
Staying here for dinner or anything like that was naturally of no interest to him.
After greeting Elder Yun and Ye Rongzhong, he turned and walked towards the outside of the villa.
His pace seemed leisurely and unhurried.
Yet with only seven or eight steps, he had already traversed several hundred meters and appeared beside a certain wall of the villa compound.
Then, with a ‘whoosh’, he was gone without a trace.
“This Chen Hai is definitely at the level of a True Land Immortal.”
“Elder Ye, the Ye Family is remarkable.
When did you start having connections with such a person?”
Elder Yun watched the direction where Chen Hai had disappeared, silent for a long time.
After a while, he turned to Ye Rongzhong with a face full of envy and lamented.
“He was Qingqing’s fiancé from before.
I always felt there was something extraordinary about Chen Hai.”
“Regrettably, twenty or thirty years ago, after he went to the area of the Great Snow Mountain in Hokkaido, we completely lost contact with him.”
“It wasn’t until not long ago that he appeared again…”
Ye Rongzhong sighed deeply, bitterness on his face as he explained.
For someone to disappear for nearly thirty years, the chances of survival are generally very slim.
Whether it was Ye Rongzhong or his wife Song Ling, they had thought Chen Hai was no longer alive.
If they had known earlier that Chen Hai was still safe and sound, and that his strength had become so terrifying, perhaps Qingqing’s marriage to another would not have happened at all.
“Back then, I’d heard about Qingqing’s engagement.
So the person engaged to Qingqing was this Chen Hai…”
Realization dawned on Elder Yun, who sighed heavily as he followed up.
Continuing to play chess?
They obviously no longer had the interest.
The two men looked at each other, stood up, and walked towards the direction of the living room.
…
Chen Hai had visited Yang City back in the earlier years.
The urban villages that could be seen everywhere at that time had been replaced by towering high-rise buildings.
After leaving Ye Rongzhong’s villa, he went straight into the city.
Traveling all the way from Capital City to Yuedong Yang City, over two or three thousand kilometers, Chen Hai did not stop except for brief pauses to refuel at service areas.
Ordinary people driving this way would definitely be considered fatigued driving.
As for Chen Hai, although he wouldn’t feel tired, mentally he still wanted to rest a bit and didn’t wish to keep driving non-stop back to Capital City.
His sports car didn’t enter the city center but was instead parked in a parking lot on the outskirts.
After all, the city roads were too congested, and his car, with its out-of-town license plate, faced travel restrictions here and there, making it quite inconvenient.
To avoid the hassle, he thought it just as well to walk directly!
Looking around here and there, one has to admit, strolling through this bustling city had its own charm!
Not far away, in front of a newly built residential complex that obviously hadn’t been there long, many people were gathered, holding banners.
Having nothing better to do and wandering around aimlessly, Chen Hai did not hesitate and went over to have a look.
“Deceitful merchants, return our hard-earned money!”
“Unscrupulous developer, false advertising, no compensation for breach of contract!”
“Guihua Garden, promise of a five-star home!”
…
Most of those people were homeowners of the place, and from their agitated demeanor, it seemed there were some concerns about the quality of the new development!
Chen Hai could understand their feelings.
After all, it’s hard for anyone to accept that the house bought with their life’s savings had serious quality issues.
But while he understood, he was just watching the excitement and definitely wouldn’t meddle in other people’s business.
After staying there for a while and seeing that it was getting late, he scanned the area and walked directly toward a hotel a couple of hundred meters away that looked decent enough.
He hadn’t thought about renting a room to stay; he went to the hotel just to dine and treat himself.
At the hotel entrance, a very capable-looking woman, who seemed to exude a strong, independent air, was walking out of the hotel with a dark expression, surrounded by a large group of people.
Perhaps fearing they’d anger the crowd, everyone at the hotel entrance stepped aside to make way.
Initially planning to go with the flow and step aside as well, Chen Hai’s gaze inadvertently fell on the woman in the center.
He stopped in his tracks, taken aback.
“Excuse me, please make way, make way…” Those flanking the woman had a bit of a lackey’s air about them.
Seeing Chen Hai directly blocking their way, several of them stepped forward, muttering as they went.
Seeing Chen Hai still motionless, they began to physically shove him aside.
“Lin Lan…” Not paying any attention to them, Chen Hai’s gaze remained fixed on the woman opposite him.
After a moment’s hesitation, he gave a tentative call.
