Chapter 24: It’s Tang Ye

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon receiving orders from the military headquarters, Song Lian promptly arrived at Tang Ye’s home with his instructor, Du Jiang. He did not expect his wife to be present.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, looking rather anxious, addressed Tang Ye, “Ol’ Tang, what’s going on here? Two people have reported to the army commander that you and your wife are ungrateful to your elders. The general has asked me to bring you in.”

Chen Lan showed little change in her expression as if this were not a significant matter at all. She admired Song Lian for being able to speak so eloquently despite the vulgar behavior of the two individuals.

“Come on, you said the general asked them to go over, didn’t you? Why are you still here asking questions and wasting time?” Xiu Lian stood up, pinched Song Lian, and suddenly twisted him into submission, but he dared not get angry.

As they made their way to the military district, Xiu Lian had already explained the situation very clearly

“Damn it. These two shameless people!” Du Jiang was the instructor in Tang Ye’s battalion, and he knew better than others about what Tang Ye had encountered in recent years. Hearing about the actions of Tang Fu and his wife, he clenched his fists.

“Maintain your composure!” Song Lian sternly advised Du Jiang. “But these two are indeed despicable. Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. Our general is very discerning, and they will not let Tang Ye suffer.”

“Thank you, Brother Song.”

Meanwhile, General of Army B sat at his desk, frowning at the two suspicious-looking individuals across from him.

It was clear to him that these two were up to no good. They had come to him, accusing Tang Ye of being ungrateful and claiming that he had assaulted them. Knowing Tang Ye well, he knew that such accusations were highly unlikely.

“Leader, why isn’t Tang Ye here yet? Did he run away?” Tang Fu had been waiting here for quite some time, growing increasingly impatient as he urgently needed the money to save his precious son. He kept urging the military official.

“What’s the rush? Do you even know how far we are from the military family housing area?” The secretary beside General Huang Yu had an unfriendly tone. These two think they are someone important.

“Then why didn’t you send a car to pick them up?” Tang Fu seemed oblivious to the secretary’s hostility and continued to complain.

After all, his son’s life was at stake, and as a citizen, he believed that the military should serve him. Delaying him from saving his son was simply unacceptable.

The young secretary was about to say something when he saw Huang Yu wave his hand, signaling him to hold back. He suppressed his frustration and turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with the two individuals.

Before long, Song Lian arrived with Tang Ye and the other two in tow.

“I asked you to bring Tang Ye here, and you brought three people,” Huang Yu said with a smile as he looked at Song Lian. Then, he turned his attention to Chen Lan. “You must be Chen Jun’s daughter. You’re quite good-looking.”

Huang Yu had not attended their wedding. Although he was an old acquaintance of Chen Jun, he had always felt that Chen Lan’s reputation was bad and that she was not a suitable match for Tang Ye.

No matter how much he objected, Tang Ye insisted on marrying Chen Lan. This had left him so infuriated that he didn’t even attend their wedding.

Chen Lan greeted him politely, “Hello, Chief.”

Huang Yu nodded and replied, “Send my regards to your father.”

“Yes, I will.”

Everyone had something to say one after another and completely forgot about Tang Fu and Xu Cui.

Tang Fu quickly interrupted the conversation, “Leader, it’s this kid. I’ve raised him with great effort and sent him to school. It is fine if he doesn’t show filial piety to me but now he won’t even help his aunt when she’s sick. He even laid hands on me. I’ve raised a beast.”

Tang Fu became emotional as he spoke and sat on the ground, crying loudly.

However, nobody in the room moved to comfort him or offer assistance. They all waited in silence until he finished crying.

Not long after, perhaps because he realized nobody was paying attention to him or because he was exhausted, Tang Fu finally stopped his emotional outburst. He remained seated on the ground and pleaded, “Leader, I beg you, please help me.”

Huang Yu looked at Tang Ye as if asking him what was going on.

Tang Ye was about to speak when Chen Lan beat him to it, saying, “Chief, my father and you are acquaintances, and you’re aware that my family adopted a child?”

Huang Yu nodded, “That’s correct. Back then, his comrade passed away, and I heard that the child was abused by his uncle and aunt in their hometown. So, he went across the provinces to bring the child back and raise him. However, later on, I was transferred elsewhere and didn’t pay much attention to this matter.”
