Chapter 61 is so annoying! Flying Pig Net

  "Slow down! The way you're drinking is a waste. This is Grandfather's wine!" Yè Xiǎo Tiān was very dissatisfied with Yè Wèn Zhōng's lack of appreciation for the wine, so he picked up his cup and carefully observed it before smelling it, doing his due diligence before finally downing it in one gulp. His actions were identical to Yè Wèn Zhōng's. Yè Wèn Zhōng looked at Yè Xiǎo Tiān's pretentious behavior and couldn't help but curl his lip, thinking "You're just a bit more of an actor than your old man..."

  "These two old men are always fighting," Yang Ping said with a smile, as she served dishes to her daughter-in-law Ouyang Bing and the two little ones.

  Bamboo leaf green wine has a slightly cool nature and is not high in degree, belonging to soft liquor, generally suitable for elderly people with taste. The more than half bottle on the table was not enough for these two old men to drink. Adding that everyone also tasted a little. There wasn't much left, and before you knew it, the wine had been drunk dry. Ye WenZhong was drinking happily when the wine ran out, turned around to go get another bottle, but was pulled back by Ye YangJian.

  "Old man, don't drink too much. Grandpa only left a few boxes, you drank them all up, what will I use to entertain guests at my wedding?" Night Yang Jian was heartbroken... It's said that this several decades old bamboo leaf green tea is worth quite a bit of money now...

  "My goodness! The wine is not enough, it's not a good thing. You're happy today, but the wine isn't drunk well. You deal with it!" Night asked Zhong slapped a big Chinese cigarette on the table and said viciously to his son.

  "Do you really want to drink?" Yang Jian raised an eyebrow.

  "Cut the crap, I don't even know you! Bring me some good wine." Ye Xiang asked Zhong Tai if he understood his own son.

  Ye Yang Jian didn't mince words either, went back into the house and rummaged through the cabinet to pull out two 1-jin bottles of 65-degree military-use Red Star Erguotou.

  "Damn it! Why didn't you take out the grenade earlier to show respect to your father? Shit! The bamboo leaf green tea has become tasteless in my mouth!" Yan Zhongyi's eyes turned red when he saw the August 1st Military emblem on the bottle, thinking that his son was really considerate...

  "Cheers!" Night Yang Jian didn't say another word, opened a bottle, tilted his head and downed it in one gulp. The burning sensation in his throat instantly made him feel hot-blooded. When he put down the wine bottle, a tear even rolled out of the corner of his eye.

  "Alright! Come on!" Ye Wen Zhong's temper was unyielding, especially in front of his own son. At this moment, he also opened his mouth and took a big gulp.

  After dinner, Ye Yangjian brewed two cups of tea leaves and handed one to Ye WenZhong. They sat face-to-face on the sofa sipping their tea. Meanwhile, Yang Ping took the car with the two kids and Ouyang Bing went out shopping.

  "How much do you know about these two kids?" Ye asked Zhong Ha, lighting a cigarette and asking slowly.

  "I guess you know almost everything there is to know." Yeyang Jian didn't know how much his father knew...

  "The burden is heavy, this matter won't be easy to handle, you need to mentally prepare." Ye WenZhong handed a special supply cigarette to his son with a smile. Ye YangJian was taken aback for a moment, then blankly accepted the cigarette and looked at his old man, unsure of what to say.

  "Dad, forgive me for asking, but how much do you know?" Ye Yang's head was big, his father in memory had always been straightforward and direct, why did he suddenly speak with a tone similar to Grandpa's, saying half a sentence and leaving half a sentence?

  "Hehe, it's about time you understood, have you all understood now?" Ye Wen also gave a perfunctory laugh and asked Yang Jian.

  "What are you doing? You even deceived your own son?" Night Yang Jian furrowed his brow, asking his father with some vigilance.

  "University professor!" Ye Wen Zhong put down his teacup and clenched his two large fists, causing a series of cracking sounds to emanate from his knuckles.

  "Alright! What makes you look like a professor? I reckon your students are all intimidated by you." Yèyáng Jiàn waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on this topic. His old man and grandfather were actually quite similar in temperament - once they didn't want to say something, you could beat them to death but still wouldn't get a word out of them.

  "Son, it's not that I don't want to be honest with you, but...you know. We've both signed that document..." Ye Xun's fist relaxed, and he smiled as he shook his head, looking at his son with boundless affection in his eyes.

  "Got it! I think I understand now, emotionally we're all a family of martyrs for the Republic. Your uncle is, you are, and even I am now. I don't know about Grandpa though. We have different revolutionary roles, but I guess it's similar! Ugh! You guys are great, hiding this from me for so long! It turns out I've been kept in the dark by my whole family for decades!..." Night Yang Jian slammed his fist on the coffee table and said angrily.

  He seemed to have guessed something, although he couldn't grasp all the details, but he already had a general idea that his father might also be working for some important unit of the country. Maybe before he was a soldier, or maybe now he's teaching at university, it's all just a cover identity, who knows? Night Yang Jian felt that this world really seemed like no one could be trusted anymore. Even his own dad had been hiding things from him for so long.

  "It's not that your old man wants to hide anything from you, it's just that you've never asked. All I can say is that your uncle and I have taken different paths. I really can't say any more than that." Ye Wen Zhong said with some apology, opening the cigarette box again and taking out another one to light up. The living room was filled with a thick smell of tobacco...

  "Alright, son, let's get down to business. I've come this time with a mission." Ye Wen Zhong didn't want to continue that awkward topic either. The conversation took a turn and they started discussing the main issue, and Ye Yang Jian knew that the real show was about to begin.

  "As the old saying goes, 'tigers are relatives, brothers are comrades-in-arms', this time my son and I are both shouldering a heavy burden. 5 days ago, I received orders to take full responsibility for this security operation. But I never thought that my subordinate would be my own flesh and blood." Ye Wen Zhong said with a self-mocking smile.

  "Get to the point! You secret agents are all so fond of beating around the bush, it's so annoying. I think my old man was more straightforward, even if he was a bit corrupt and had a bad temper. He gave me a clear answer, following the usual procedure!" Ye Yangjian sipped his tea without looking at Ye WenZhong, not knowing how to face the current situation either. His own father had become his contact and superior. Embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing!

  "Alright! I won't drag this out either. Zhou Yong has already handed over the materials to the organization, and this time Bird Island is making a big move, coming at us with great force. On various fronts, both openly and secretly, many of our comrades have already made sacrifices and been exposed. Of course, we haven't let them gain any advantage. The organization has decided to use two children as bait, to take down the Bird Island undercover team in one fell swoop, and eliminate as much of the threat as possible. This is a crucial operation, and it's essential that we coordinate well. I will take the two children to school, where arrangements have already been made for their safety. Due to the fact that the two children are quite dependent on you, you will be responsible for taking care of their daily lives. The organization will provide any support you need, and if you have any requests, feel free to make them, we will consider them accordingly." Ye Wen Zhong said in a serious tone.

  "What the hell is this? Fishing? Don't human lives matter? They're just kids, I thought all I had to do was keep them safe for a few days and then your agents like Zhou Yong would come and take over, taking the two kids away to enjoy that elite education and worry-free life. Weren't they specially recruited by the country? Doesn't the country value their genius?" Ye Yangjian found it unbelievable, using the two kids as bait? It's really inhumane!

  "Son, our country is vast and rich in resources, but do you know that the per capita allocation of resources is not much? What the country has most is people. One or two individuals are nothing! From an evolutionary perspective, with a huge base of 1.3 billion, any genius can emerge. The country will not give up any opportunity to defeat its enemies for one or two small geniuses in computer science! This is the iron-blooded style of the Communist Party!" Ye Wen Zhong said firmly to Ye Yang Jian.

  "I think it's outrageous, Dad! I know what you're saying, but have you ever thought that it's because of this that we were abandoned on a deserted island and my comrades had to sacrifice themselves? That's why I'm in this state now. Am I human or not? If others knew I ate human flesh, how would they look at me? Back then, I was a soldier, these things didn't matter. Soldiers are supposed to protect their country! Not afraid of sacrifice! Not afraid of death! I never blamed the country for anything! We swore to defend our nation, it's our profession, our responsibility, but what about them? These two kids should be enjoying a happy childhood now! Are they going to sacrifice them like us? They're still young, just in their teens! Dad, I think there's something wrong with the system, I really can't accept it!" Night Yang Jian clenched his fists, he had an urge to destroy something.

  "My son, I'm delighted that you have such an understanding. You're indeed the son of Ye WenZhong! You've matured. If your grandfather could see you now, he would definitely be very pleased. You must understand, our sacrifices are all valuable. The common people living and working in peace and contentment, a stable society, these are the ultimate goals of our party! Those who achieve great things do not bother with trivial matters! One general's achievement is worth the withering of ten thousand bones. These principles you're not unfamiliar with!" Ye WenZhong sighed.

  "Don't mention Grandpa for now! I'll ask about Grandpa's situation later. Dad, I'm asking you, if I participate in this mission of yours, what kind of help can I get? What benefits will I have? Being a soldier is just for the salary! If there are no benefits, I won't do it! In the past, it was my duty, but now it's business. The country can't take advantage of me again!" Ye Yangjian felt somewhat disappointed in the country and began to set conditions with a fierce expression. Dammit, the other party is his own father, what's wrong with speaking up? Not taking advantage of a good deal is stupid..."

  Ye Wen Zhong looked at Ye Yang Jian's current appearance and was surprised to find that his son and himself in the past were so alike.

  "You make a request, as long as it's not excessive and the organization can satisfy it, I'll try my best to fight for it." Ye Xun nodded in agreement with Ye Yangjian, who also wanted to know what his son really wanted.

  "My first condition! I demand that the organization arrange for all my brothers to be restored to their normal veteran status! Not a single cent of consolation fees can be missing! And the country must arrange jobs for them! Damn it! We've done so much for the country, and the country doesn't even give us a penny in compensation! No way! I'm their squad leader, I have to fight for their status! Those bastards don't even have ID cards, how are they supposed to survive?" Night Yang Jian's voice grew more agitated, his fists pounding on the tea table with a loud "bang bang" sound.

  "This is quite difficult, you know. Just because of you alone, your old man patted his chest to guarantee that there's absolutely no problem. And I originally planned to do it this way too, but if we have to count in those brothers of yours, it's really not easy to handle! Moreover, this is a secret operation. They didn't participate, and rashly restoring their status wouldn't be reasonable!" Ye Xun said carefully to Ye Yangjian.
