Chapter 31: The Heavenly King Under the Xuanwu Banner!
“Officer, since you’re carrying out your duties, naturally we can’t stop you! Please produce the relevant paperwork, otherwise we won’t let you through!” Li Hu was, after all, the underground godfather of Yuncheng and had seen plenty of big situations.
After being slightly flustered for a moment, he immediately calmed down.
It was only the unconscious head of the Xuan family. He had always kept to himself, so what trouble could he possibly have caused?
Besides, the man was unconscious now, yet military personnel had come. This was definitely not normal!
“Paperwork……” Li Hu’s one sentence left Guo Fei and the adjutant beside him speechless, and they stammered, not knowing how to explain.
They had come this time precisely to help Xuan Zhengguo intimidate Li Hu, Ye Fan, and the others. Where would they have any paperwork?
“Impudent! We’re carrying out a top-secret military mission. What paperwork do we need? Do we need to explain ourselves to a bunch of ants like you? Move aside. If you don’t, don’t blame the bullets for having no eyes!” As a major, Guo Fei reacted very quickly as well, resolving the situation with a single sentence.
“No paperwork, and without Young Master Ye’s orders, forgive us, but we cannot comply!” Li Hu replied coldly, then called out to his men around him, “Brothers, get your weapons ready for battle. I want to see exactly what the military dares to do to us.”
Clatter!
In the corridor, all of Li Hu’s brothers revealed the weapons they were carrying and confronted Guo Fei’s men.
The men Li Hu had brought were all his trusted subordinates, men who had followed him through life-and-death fights. They would carry out Li Hu’s orders without hesitation.
At such close range, even though Guo Fei’s men had guns in their hands, they were outnumbered. If a real fight broke out, Guo Fei’s men might not necessarily gain any advantage.
“What are you trying to do? Rebel?” Guo Fei shouted sternly at Li Hu and the others, his eyes sharp, while inwardly feeling somewhat worried.
Were these people really this reckless?
Wasn’t even his camouflage uniform intimidating anymore?
Guo Fei was also worried that if things really got out of hand and his superiors found out, he would be in serious trouble!
“Officer, don’t put such a huge label on us. We just want to see the paperwork!” Li Hu continued to retort. “For an unconscious patient lying in a hospital room, we really can’t imagine what kind of top-secret mission he could possibly be connected to.”
“Impudent!” Guo Fei shouted, but he could not find any words to refute him. “Brothers, get ready to move!”
Click! Click!
It was the sound of gun bolts being pulled!
All of Guo Fei’s men raised their guns, and the murderous atmosphere instantly filled the air.
A major battle could break out at any moment!
Creak!
Just then, Ye Fan and Xia Hao walked out of the room. Seeing the situation before him, Xia Hao was stunned and had not yet spoken when Ye Fan spoke first, “Huh! Why are there so many soldiers here? Are those guns you’re carrying real?”
Ye Fan curiously stepped forward and reached out to touch the barrel of the gun held by one of the young men.
The young man shifted his body to avoid Ye Fan. “Looking for death! Get lost!”
As he spoke, the young man reached out and shoved Ye Fan.
Clang!
As Ye Fan’s body swayed, a metal object fell from him and happened to roll to the feet of Guo Fei’s adjutant.
The adjutant casually picked up the metal object and glanced at it, not paying much attention. He turned around and was about to throw it into the trash can nearby.
“What is that?” Although Guo Fei had only caught a fleeting glimpse just now, he felt that the pattern on the object looked somewhat familiar, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“Oh! Hard to tell. It’s a round metal piece with a turtle pattern engraved on it, hmm……and four golden stars……” The adjutant held the object in his hand and looked at it twice more before reporting to Guo Fei, “Who knows which garbage dump he picked it up from!”
Thud!
The adjutant directly threw the thing into the trash can.
“Wait!” After hearing the adjutant’s description, Guo Fei’s heart began pounding violently. He hurriedly shouted at the adjutant, but it was already too late.
Damn it!
If the pattern described by the adjutant was correct, then that was the token of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Theater Command, a rank above a four-star general. It was enough to command millions of military personnel across the eight southeastern provinces.
That token was actually in the hands of that idiot Ye Fan?
“How?” The adjutant did not understand Guo Fei’s reaction, but in the next moment, Guo Fei ran toward the trash can like a madman and frantically rummaged through it.
“Boss!” The adjutant was completely stunned. “The trash can is dirty! What’s wrong with you? Was that thing really important?”
“Shut up!” Guo Fei was already sweating profusely. He had a premonition that the thing on Ye Fan was most likely real. If so, even ten heads would not be enough to save him.
All of Guo Fei’s men exchanged bewildered looks.
So……were they still fighting or not?
Li Hu and Xia Hao’s men nearby, as well as Wang Fugui and the others, were also confused by what they were seeing.
What exactly was going on?
A random thing that Young Master Ye dropped had actually made a major panic like this?
Only Xia Hao knew that Ye Fan definitely had not dropped it “by coincidence”; Ye Fan had definitely done it on purpose!
“Found it!” Guo Fei tore the trash can apart into eight pieces and finally found the token his adjutant had thrown away.
Holding it up and examining it carefully twice, Guo Fei’s entire body went limp.
The anti-counterfeiting mark, the code, everything was completely correct!
Damn it!
The young master of the Ye family, whom everyone thought was an idiot, was actually one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Xuanwu Theater Command?
Who could have known?
“Your subordinate! Pay respects to the Heavenly King under the Xuanwu Banner. We deserve death!” Guo Fei prostrated himself on the ground while ordering all his men to kneel.
The area where Guo Fei was stationed was completely under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Theater Command.
A Heavenly King who was second to one and above tens of thousands—if he wanted to crush a tiny major like him, wouldn’t that be as easy as moving a finger?
Although Guo Fei’s men did not understand what had happened, seeing Guo Fei’s actions, they knew that things had definitely become troublesome.
“Please forgive us, Heavenly King!”
Hiss!
Because of the appearance of a single token, the situation at the scene had instantly reversed by 180 degrees?
The reversal had come so violently that Li Hu, Wang Fugui, and the others had not yet fully reacted.
Seeing Guo Fei and the others’ behavior, the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth twitched slightly. He deliberately said in great surprise, “Huh? Why did you suddenly kneel down? Are you already paying New Year’s respects? It’s not New Year yet! Get up, get up!”
“Your subordinate wouldn’t dare!” Guo Fei knelt on the ground, not daring to move. “We did not know that you were the Heavenly King, Your Highness. Please forgive us, Heavenly King!”
As he spoke, Guo Fei respectfully handed the token to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan curiously took the token in his hand and looked at it twice. “Is this thing mine? How come I don’t know?”
“Forget it, forget it! Don’t kneel on the ground anymore, the floor is cold!”
Ye Fan casually stuffed the token into his pocket. “It looks like gold. It should be worth quite a bit of money. Thanks! Help me keep this secret, okay? Otherwise, other people will come and steal my gold!”
Ye Fan’s words left Guo Fei completely dumbfounded!
Heavenly King……what exactly did this mean?
Was Ye Fan really an idiot, or was he pretending to be one?
