From the moment Yang Chen left, their information had already been transmitted.

On the way to Jin Chen.

Ye Xin received the intelligence.

"Was it Elder Zhuo who rescued Yang Chen?" Ye Xin was a bit surprised, but also felt it was only natural.

What surprised Ye Xin was that Elder Zhuo had such deep feelings for Yang Chen, willing to intervene in Ye family matters and offend the Ye family.

What was natural was that Yang Chen was Elder Zhuo's godson, and these matters naturally fell under his concern.

"You said Yang Chen also took Ye Kai with him?" Ye Xin frowned, "In front of so many people, how could he take Ye Kai away?"

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Fire Phoenix, you don't know what went down on-site. That guy named Dongzi nearly beat Ye Kai to a pulp, and even stuffed his mouth with a stinking sock, ugh... just thinking about it is disgusting! Moreover, Ye Kai was tied up tightly, and no one dared to save him! Yang Chen even hit him, saying he would bring him along to the Ye family!"

Ye Xin listened, her brow tightly knit.

She couldn't figure out Yang Chen's intentions.

Originally, this matter hadn't reached an irredeemable point, because from beginning to end, it was only Ye Kai acting up, and it didn't represent the attitude of the entire Ye family, nor could it represent the old master's attitude.

So, if she went to the Ye family now, it was first to see what was really going on, and second to fight for her own happiness.

If they truly were similar to Ye Kai, then Ye Xin wouldn't mind taking Yang Chen and running away far from this.

But if it was just Ye Kai acting up, it would be much simpler.

Now that Yang Chen had beaten Ye Kai, the nature of the situation was different.

According to Ye Xin's understanding, Ye Kai was the second uncle's favorite child, and now that Ye Kai had been tormented like this, the second uncle certainly wouldn't let it go.

Also, for an outsider to beat up Ye Kai like this, how could the Ye family show face?

The person on the phone said, "Fire Phoenix, isn't Yang Chen being a bit careless in this matter?"

Ye Xin shook her head; she thought Yang Chen wasn't the type to act recklessly.

"Anything else?" Ye Xin asked.

"Not for the time being."

"Alright, then that's it!"

Hanging up the phone, Ye Xin's beautiful eyes flickered, unclear on what she was contemplating.

...

On the other side, far at a certain country's border.

Meng Po sat in a bumpy jeep, enduring the constant jolts of the road.

"What? The Asura King has been released?" Meng Po frowned deeply.

"Headed to Jin Chen?"

"Alright! I understand!"

Hanging up the phone, Meng Po told everyone, "We need to change our destination; my inside contact just told me the Asura King has been released and is headed to Jin Chen, so we need to hurry over too!"

Everyone nodded and continued in silence.

In this kind of place, they had to remain vigilant at all times because they never knew when a group might spring up to attack them.

...

In the car.

Yang Chen drove, Dongzi sat in the back, and Ye Kai had long since fallen asleep.

Today had been utterly exhausting for Ye Kai; he needed a good rest.

Yang Chen glanced at Dongzi through the rearview mirror and said, "Hand it over, let me call Meng Po."

"Huh? What?" Dongzi was taken aback, looking at Yang Chen in astonishment.

Yang Chen smirked, "Did you really think I couldn't notice you've been secretly signaling Meng Po this whole way?"

"I..." Dongzi awkwardly hesitated.

This operation was meant to be a secret; they had no intention of informing Yang Chen.

It was because they knew Yang Chen, and they knew his personality, that he certainly wouldn't have allowed them to come, so they kept it hidden all along.

"What? Still trying to hide it from me?" Yang Chen stared at Dongzi.

Dongzi knew he couldn't hide it and sighed, "Alright, boss, we didn't want to tell you because we were afraid you'd worry. We know you have concerns, but we don't—what you don't want to do, leave it to us to handle. You don't have to worry, don't have to ask anything, we'll erase all traces!"

"Ridiculous!" Yang Chen snorted coldly, "You are my guards, without my orders, who gave you the right to act?"

"I..." Dongzi lowered his head, not daring to meet Yang Chen's gaze.

"I said, give me the phone!" Yang Chen ordered.

Dongzi didn't dare refuse, took out the phone, and handed it to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took the phone, looked at the number, and dialed it.

Very soon, the call connected.

"Hello? Dongzi, what's the situation?" Meng Po's voice came through the line.

Yang Chen said coldly, "It's me! Yang Chen!"

Hearing this magnetic voice resonating through her ear, Meng Po couldn't help but shiver all over, immediately responding, "Master!"

"You guys doing alright by the coast?" Yang Chen asked.

Meng Po understood instantly that Yang Chen was speaking in code and replied, "Quite alright, it's a sunny day today, and we're about to land."

"Don't forget to bring back the promised crabs."

"Don't worry, caught a lot."

"That's good!"

"How do you plan to eat them?"

"Put them in the cage!"

"Alright!"

"Don't get pinched!"

"Won't happen!"

"Good then!"

"You..."

"That's it, I'll be waiting to eat crabs."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the call, Yang Chen removed the SIM card, snapped it, and threw both it and the phone out.

Dongzi stared, wide-eyed, in disbelief at Yang Chen.

Though Yang Chen didn't say it directly, Dongzi understood the exchange between Yang Chen and Meng Po.

First, Yang Chen asked Meng Po about their situation by the coast, meaning he was asking where they were.

Meng Po replied with 'sunny' and that they were about to land, meaning they were safe and about to enter the country.

Then Yang Chen mentioned the crabs, indicating that they were to hurry over.

Meng Po said there were many crabs, meaning everyone was coming.

Then Meng Po asked how to eat them, referring to the plan of action.

Yang Chen's instruction to put them in the cage meant to act in secret, surround the enemy without letting them notice or attack.

Lastly, Yang Chen warned about not getting pinched, telling Meng Po and the others to be cautious.

Expecting to eat crabs meant Yang Chen wanted them to act quickly.

Dongzi didn't expect Yang Chen to agree with Meng Po's operation.

"Boss, does this mean we're going to..." Dongzi looked at Yang Chen and asked.

Yang Chen shook his head, "Just as a precaution!"

He really didn't want conflict with the Ye family because, after all, they were Ye Xin's relatives.

However, if the Ye family truly all displayed an attitude like Ye Kai's, then even if he didn't fight them, he had to be prepared to retreat completely and protect Ye Xin.

After all, that was Jin Chen, and it was the Ye family, whose power and background are not to be underestimated.

As for the help from the Asura Hall, now that they had come, Yang Chen would go with the flow, and he had a plan that required assistance from the Asura Hall.

After all, in the Flame Country, without capable subordinates, getting things done was incredibly troublesome.
