The memories returned to three years ago, and Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

It is often said that life has many turning points, and that time indeed changed Yang Chen's entire life.

When Yang Chen was swept into the undercurrent, he was shoved into an underground river.

Following the river, Yang Chen fell into a very deep subterranean cave.

Yang Chen searched for a long time there, surviving only by eating the fish in the river, living primitively.

Eventually, Yang Chen determined that the smooth cave walls, all made of stalactites, were impossible to climb.

Originally, Yang Chen was about to die inside, but then a turning point appeared.

Yang Chen didn't reveal everything about the underground cave, he simply said to everyone, "When I got out, it was already half a year later. At that time, I also heard the news of my death. It's quite strange, clearly alive, yet declared dead. Then... I didn't go back because I met some people."

Images flashed in Yang Chen's eyes: Luke Leonard, and Meng Po crying amidst the ruins...

It was at that moment that Yang Chen decided to stay.

Even without being in the Guard, he could still serve his country.

However, if he were in the Guard, he couldn't control his schedule, only follow orders and arrangements.

Everything that happened on Lijia Continent made it unbearable for him to leave, and he decided to stay to help these impoverished people.

Dongzi said solemnly, "Boss stayed for us, we owe our lives to him. Without him, there would be no us!"

Dongzi had once heard Yang Chen tell about being swept into an underground cave while fighting the Three Black Corps, knowing that Yang Chen stayed for them.

Jianfeng listened, thought for a moment, and stood up, holding a bottle of wine, "Brothers! No need for more words, it's enough that we're reunited. It's all in the wine!"

At this time, it wasn't about finding fault or blame, just getting together was the happiest thing, past grievances were not to be pursued.

Yang Chen nodded, also stood up, and said to everyone, "Come! Drink!"

A group of guys downed another bottle.

In the restaurant, bursts of noise, shouting, cheering, and applause could be heard, filled with joy and excitement...

Elsewhere, a sedan pulled up at the gate of the Ye family.

The Ye family's security walked over and blocked the car's path.

Li Muyang stuck his head out of the car and said, "Go tell your family, that I, Li Muyang, and Elder Zhuo from Ningchuan have come to see Master Ye!"

The security guard said, "Sorry, our master is not receiving guests!"

Li Muyang frowned, "Go in first to report, say it's me, Li Muyang, and Elder Zhuo from Ningchuan!"

The security guard hesitated for a moment, glanced at the license plate, and finally nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment!"

Immediately, the security guard ran inside.

The family of three, talking inside, heard the sounds from outside.

"Sir, there's a man outside claiming to be Li Muyang, and an Elder Zhuo from Ningchuan, wanting to see the old master."

"Elder Zhuo? Elder Zhuo from Ningchuan?" Ye Liangcai's eyes widened in surprise, "Could he mean Elder Zhuo?"

It's known that Elder Zhuo is on par with their own elder in stature!

Ye Xin nodded and said with a smile, "I know, it's Uncle Zhuo and Brother Li, they're probably here because of Yang Chen."

"Whoa!" Ye Liangcai, hearing this, was surprised, "Yang Chen has only been back for a few months? How has he gotten involved with so many people?"

Ye Xin chuckled and said, "That's not all. Do you know which Guard Yang Chen used to serve in?"

Ye Liangcai said, "Wasn't it the Dragon Tooth Squad?"

"No!" Ye Xin said, "Yang Chen used to be in the Wolf Fang Squad, even as an instructor."

"Wolf Fang Squad?" Ye Liangcai thought for a moment and then said, "Oh! I remember now, there was such a guard before, it seems to have been restarted this year."

Ye Xin nodded, "That's right, that Guard. Do you know who the first instructor of this squad was?"

"This girl!" Ye Liangcai laughed, "Are you keeping secrets from me?"

Ye Xin playfully stuck out her tongue, "The first instructor of the Wolf Fang Squad was Elder Zhuo's son!"

"Elder Zhuo's son? Zhuo Jingyu?" Ye Liangcai's eyes widened, recalling his good childhood relationship with Zhuo Jingyu, often playing together, but Zhuo Jingyu later sacrificed himself, leaving Ye Liangcai saddened for quite a while.

"That's right." Ye Xin nodded, "But Elder Zhuo's son sacrificed himself on a mission, to save Yang Chen. After Yang Chen came back, he became Elder Zhuo's godson."

"Godson!" Zhuo Jingyu's eyes widened, exclaiming, "No wonder!"

Yang Chen turned out to be Elder Zhuo's godson, it's no wonder Elder Zhuo, at such an advanced age, went through so much trouble to get from Ningchuan to Jin Chen.

"Then let's hurry and welcome the old gentleman!" Zhuo Jingyu stood up and said.

Ye Xin nodded and said, "I'll go call Yang Chen first."

With that, Ye Xin pushed the door open and ran out.

Ye Liangcai and Hu Yashu exchanged looks, both with somewhat complex expressions.

"Liangcai," Hu Yashu said to Ye Liangcai, "Our father strongly opposed the matter between those two. You weren't home at the time, but the old man was so angry he even smashed a chair, his face terrifyingly furious. I've never seen him this angry."

Ye Liangcai also frowned, "Perhaps the old man feels the same as us, that Yang Chen doesn't match up to Xinxin? After all, our Xinxin is the most outstanding girl in the Ye family. But now, it seems, Yang Chen's identity is not simple either! Just being the captain of the Dragon Tooth Squad is no small feat, let alone being Elder Zhuo's godson. If Yang Chen is willing to stay in Jin Chen, I think Elder Zhuo would certainly come over, and with Elder Zhuo's support, what do you think my status would become? With support from both our families, Yang Chen's future is limitless!"

Hu Yashu thought for a moment, nodded, "I agree, but... never mind, let's first welcome Elder Zhuo!"

"Okay!" Ye Liangcai nodded.

...

Ye Xin walked towards the restaurant, hearing the cacophony inside long before reaching it, clearly indicating a highly excited group of people.

To be honest, Ye Xin hadn't seen Yang Chen bare-chested, engaged in drinking matches, which piqued her curiosity to witness it.

Ye Xin peeked inside and saw that Yang Chen wasn't shirtless, and the others wore vests, not too revealing.

Only then did Ye Xin push the door open and enter the room.

Seeing the visitor, everyone turned their heads in unison to look.

Suddenly, they all widened their eyes, mouths agape, even drooling.

Seeing that it was Ye Xin, Yang Chen hurriedly stood up.

He noticed Little Demon's eyes were wide open, drooling, and couldn't help but slap him, saying, "What's with you guys! Let me introduce you, this is your sister-in-law!"

"What?"

"Boss, what did you say?"

The group groaned in dismay.
