Chapter 64: Rectification of Names

  "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? You two, father and son, met today and it's like you're sworn enemies. It's really strange. Is something wrong?..." Ouyang Bing saw Ye Yangjian and Ye WenZhong didn't even exchange two words before hastily driving away, feeling puzzled. Yesterday at dinner, the father-son duo was affectionate to the extreme.

  "Nothing. I'm in a hurry to see my brothers, don't know how they're doing now..." Ye Yang Jian thought for a moment, replied to Ouyang Bing with one sentence, and didn't speak again, focusing on driving, leaving the city, accelerating onto the highway. Rushing past several places that had long been familiar in his mind...

  W City is located in the southeastern part of the province, about 200 kilometers away from H City. It is situated on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. To the south, it leans against the Wannan mountain range, and to the north, it overlooks the Jianghuai Plain. The majestic Yangtze River flows gently from southwest to northeast through the city's west and south, while the Qingyi River flows from southeast to northwest, passing through the city and emptying into the Yangtze. It is like a brilliant pearl inlaid at the confluence of the Qingyi River.

  W is a riverside garden city with mountains and lakes. The mountains are stacked, the lakes are horizontal, the river is winding, the scenery is beautiful, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, with plains and hills, and the terrain is irregularly long. It has the reputation of "clouds opening to see tree colors, quiet rivers listening to tidal sounds". The mountain area accounts for 20.5% of the total area. There are more than 3,000 lakes of various types in the territory. This is the hometown of veterinarians and the first stop of Night Yang Jian...

  "Veterinarian! My old buddy, where are you?" Yang Jian dialed the phone number of his deputy, Guo Xiaoli, while driving. His mobile phone only had Guo Xiaoli's phone number on it.

  "Haha, Baron, I'm at home, where else could I be? How did you think of calling me?" Guo Xiaoli's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a bit tired, but couldn't hide his excitement and agitation. This was also the first time he had contacted Ye Yangjian since his discharge half a month ago.

  "Is it at home? Is that the address you told me before?" Yèyáng Jiàn asked hastily over the phone while driving on the highway, trying to suppress his excitement.

  "Uh-huh, what's up? Are you coming over here? Weren't we told not to leave the local area?" Guo Xiaoli asked hastily on the other end of the phone.

  "To hell with it, I want to go there, what can stop me? I'm on my way. Probably another hour and I'll be at your place. Get the wine and dishes ready, I'm gonna knock you out!..." Night Yang Jian said with a great mood, haha laughing loudly.

  "Haha, who knows who's gonna knock out whom! Alright, I'll make a call to ask for leave first, and then I'll arrange a banquet for your esteemed class leader right away." Guo Xiaoli on the other end of the phone also burst into laughter. It sounds like she's extremely delighted.

  "What? You've got a job? Well done, kid. You're even faster than me." Yè Yáng Jiàn was also quite happy for the veterinarian. For those who were forcibly discharged like them, they didn't even have an ID card. It wasn't easy to find a job.

  "Hey, don't laugh at me, I'm just doing a 'barefoot doctor' job. Hurry up, I'm waiting for you to have lunch. I'll go buy wine now." When it comes to work, Guo Xiaoli doesn't seem too enthusiastic, and Ye Yangjian also sensed something, so he didn't continue asking.

  He stepped on the accelerator and sped off in the direction of the front, driving the Jinbei van like a sports car.

  "Yè Yáng Jiàn, slow down a bit, driving so fast will get you photographed. We need to be more careful this time..." ōu Yáng Bīng reminded him with good intentions, looking at Yè Yáng Jiàn whose eyes were slightly red. Along the way, Yè Yáng Jiàn didn't say much to her, except for making a phone call. He just drove in silence, accelerating.

  Ouyang Bing was very curious, she had seen Ye Yangjian's file before. The content was not very complete, some were kept secret by the military department, but to be honest, from the file, Ye Yangjian was a product of war! When she first sneaked into Ye Yangjian's home, she was cut on the neck by Ye Yangjian who was hiding in the dark, which further solidified her idea. At that time, Ouyang Bing thought Ye Yangjian was a tragic violent maniac. He was a dangerous element out of control. He was violent and had many killing skills. Who knows how much harm he would cause to society in the future.

  Yasunori Kageyama initially gave a bad impression, this person is somewhat overbearing and can be said to be a rascal. He even snatched the gun from his superior, Shu Yong. His eating manner was very rough and not refined at all, gobbling down food quickly and making loud smacking noises with his mouth. He always had a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking like a chain smoker. Although he made tea in a somewhat refined way, when drinking it, he gulped it down like tap water.

  However, as she gradually got to know this person, she found that Ye Yang Jian was a very gentle and polite man in his daily life. He even made good tea and had a soft spot for the two orphans, Zhan Hao and Qiao Yu. For the sake of these two children, he took on the responsibility of something that originally had nothing to do with him. It's really unknown what he thinks about all day.

  Ouyang Bing sat in the passenger seat, lazily tilting her head to look at Ye Yangjian who was driving, gazing at his sharp and resolute facial features. “...This person… is simply a contradiction. But his figure looks great. And he's actually quite handsome too…”

  Ouyang Bing was lost in thought for a while, feeling a bit disoriented and wandering. She found herself wanting to know more about Ye Yangjian, even including the brothers he mentioned.

  After asking for directions several times along the way, Yang Jian drove around for half an hour and finally arrived at Guo Xiaoli's residence, which was located by the Yangtze River. It was a two-story small building with a small courtyard surrounded by a brick wall.

  "Wow! Veterinarian, you little brat is living a more luxurious life than me, with a two-story villa. Yang Jian stopped the car outside the yard, got out of the car and started shouting before even entering the yard."

  "Haha, our little place's houses aren't worth much money, can't compare to yours. Oh~ is this your wife? Haha, you're quite something, I reckon you're the fastest in our class of 10! Haha!" Guo Xiaoli smiled and opened the courtyard gate, letting Yang Jian and Ouyang Bing enter.

  As they walked, Ye Yangjian briefly introduced Guo Xiaoli and Ouyang Bing to each other. As for the relationship between the two, Ye Yangjian raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything clearly, Guo Xiaoli nodded knowingly, they were old partners after all, and it was tacitly understood, so Guo Xiaoli didn't ask any more questions.

  The veterinarian's small courtyard is nicely decorated, with some iron frames welded together, and many grapevines planted. It's summer now, the lush green grapevine has climbed all over the trellis, creating a shaded area in front of the door of the small building, where tables, chairs, and benches are placed, with freshly brewed tea and snacks like melon seeds.

  "Alright... everything's ready..." Yè Yáng Jiàn smiled and sat down with a plop, holding his tea cup up to his nose for a light sniff.

  "How is it?" Guo Xiaoli asked while pulling out a chair for Ouyang Bing to sit down.

  "One side of the water nourishes one side of the people, you're by the river, so the water quality is naturally much better than our tap water. The tea brewed with this river water has a lively flavor, without the taste of bleaching powder, not bad, not bad...” Ye Yangjian picked up his teacup and savored it carefully, then gestured to Ouyang Bing to try some too.

  Ouyang Bing was also a bit thirsty, and after hearing Ye Yangjian's mysterious words, he couldn't help but pick up his teacup. He looked at the green tea leaves floating up and down in the water, took a small sip, and suddenly felt refreshed, filled with the fragrance of tea, and couldn't help but take a few more sips.

  "You didn't bring me here just to drink tea, did you?" Guo Xiaoli rummaged through Ye Yangjian's pocket without hesitation and finally found a flat iron box. She carefully took it out, opened it, and pulled out a cigarette. With nostalgia, she examined it for a long time before speaking up.

  "Ah, it's no small matter." Yè Yáng Jiàn also took over the cigarette case and carefully stroked it, nodding his head.

  "What's wrong?" Guo Xiaoli put the cigarette in her mouth, took out a lighter, and hesitated for a moment without lighting the cigarette.

  "It's a task, we need your assistance..." Yè Yáng Jiàn said seriously, putting down his cigarette box.

  "What?! Mission?! We've already retired......" Guo Xiaoli looked at Ye Yangjian in incredulity, his hand holding the lighter seemingly trembling.

  "It's something I've fought for. For the sake of my brothers..." Yang Jian said, looking straight at Guo Xiaoli and nodding in affirmation. He was waiting for Guo Xiaoli's response, after all, whether or not to agree still depended on each individual.

  "What task?" Guo Xiaoli's eyes suddenly lit up.

  "That bloody bayonet... " Ye Yang Jian smiled wickedly and opened the pack of cigarettes in his hand, pulling out a special supply cigarette to put between his lips.

  "How many people? What benefits can we get?" Guo Xiaoli asked Ye Yangjian after a moment of contemplation.

  "As long as you're willing, not one less, all have benefits, what's the benefit? Just an ID card... " Ye Yang Jian lit a cigarette and slowly spat out a sentence... The corner of his eye was paying attention to Guo Xiaoli's expression. Sure enough.

  "My goodness! Done!......" Guo Xiaoli slapped her palm on the table, causing a lot of melon seeds in the dish to fly out.

  "Specific details, Miss Ouyang will tell you about it, she is also one of the people in charge of our operation this time..." Yèyáng Jiàn picked up the scattered melon seeds on the table and put them back into the plate.

  At noon, Guo Xiaoli had a big table of dishes, all the good wine and meat were brought out.

  "Come on, Miss Ouyang, try some of our river fish, it's all very fresh, you can't get such good fish in the city." Guo Xiaoli warmly invited.

  "It tastes great! I didn't expect you to be such a good cook." Ouyang Bingxiu took a bite of the fish, nodding in sincere praise.

  "Miss Ouyang, you're overpraising me! My cooking skills are no match for our class monitor's. Haha, remember those days in the army? At night, we'd sneak into the kitchen to cook something and have a midnight snack. The class monitor would make us fish dishes that were simply delicious! I wouldn't dare show off my cooking skills in front of him...” Guo Xiaoli said with a smile, teasingly.

  "Wow, I didn't know he could cook too?" Ouyang Bing looked at Ye Yangjian in surprise and asked.

  "You don't know yet? Haha, Miss Ouyang, I'll tell you, our class monitor is a versatile talent. You basically can't find anything he's not good at. As a veterinarian in the army, I'm also someone who says one thing and does another, never yielding to anyone. But when it comes to our class monitor, I have to admit that I yield to him alone... damn it! However, let me tell you, who dares not to yield to our class monitor? Damn it, if anyone stands up, I'll take them down with one kick..." The veterinarian said, fueled by the wine.
