Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Xi Tan wore a hat, hurrying through the airport hall.

He had bought the first-class ticket for the soonest departing flight, only seeking to leave Jiangning, no matter where he went. To a certain extent, this decision did possess the boldness and judgment befitting a "Blue Eagle."

Unknown location, the soonest departing airplane, plus a genuine ID card—in the bustling airport hall, it was indeed very disruptive.

"Sir, your boarding pass." At Gate 6, a slender arm blocked Xi Tan.

"This is my..." He casually pulled out his documents, saying, "The plane hasn't taken off yet, has it?"

"Not yet."

Xi Tan breathed a sigh of relief. Airlines defaulted to waiting for first-class and business-class passengers, to justify the high fares they paid; under boarding conditions, waiting another minute or two was perfectly normal. So Xi Tan had given up buying the more concealed economy class.

The check was unexpectedly long.

"Still not done?" One minute later, Xi Tan grew anxious.

"Wait a moment, we need to confirm something." The owner of the slender arm seemed to be operating something on the screen nonstop.

Xi Tan felt suspicious, quickly glanced left and right, then strode away.

"Sir, please wait."

Xi Tan walked even faster.

"Sir, please wait a moment." The burly man who had long been waiting beside him blocked his path.

Xi Tan was the youngest major general, but not the most capable fighter among generals; after weighing both sides' builds, he obediently stood still.

"Please come with us."

"Who are you?"

"I'm airport security." The burly man pointed to his ill-fitting ID badge on his left chest.

"Nonsense." Xi Tan closed his eyes, knowing he had been discovered. But he had nothing to fear, quietly walking while asking, "How did you find me?"

"I don't understand what you're saying?"

"If you don't answer, I'll shout." Xi Tan straightened his clothes, saying, "Tell me, is it simpler to tell me, or simpler for me to shout randomly? You decide."

After all, the airport wasn't the wilderness; the burly man hesitated, saying, "We've known where you were all along."

Xi Tan immediately pressed: "How did you know?"

The burly man said nothing more.

"Then which department are you from? On what grounds are you arresting me?" Xi Tan gradually showed signs of making a scene. He certainly wasn't truly obedient.

"I need to use the restroom." Xi Tan swayed left and right, looking both like he was looking for a restroom and like he was on an escape route.

The burly man was annoyed, again blocking his line of sight on one side with his body, saying, "Obediently follow along."

Xi Tan's gaze sharpened; his left hand pressed steadily against the man's waist, a string of blue electric sparks flickering—it was a small high-voltage stun gun.

A major general using such an anti-wolf weapon was quite a loss of face.

Xi Tan shook his hand, kicked the fallen man, and smiled: "Rest for 10 minutes, goodbye."

He took off his hat, threw it into a nearby trash can, and while walking out, observed left and right, thinking: He couldn't escape the airport; the railway and highway stations were probably much the same. It seemed he needed to find a place to hide; the most urgent thing was to find a phone. He didn't know how far the situation outside had developed; the transport plane pilot and the ships at the wharf knew limited things, just fearing something had happened with the Special Operations Team. He should have been issued cyanide earlier.

Amid annoyance and relief, Xi Tan found his target—a girl who looked like a university student, holding a mobile phone and making a call.

"Hello, going to school?"

"Mm."

He glanced at the sign in the waiting area ahead, pulled out his sailor's pickup skills, and said in a magnetic voice: "How many hours until takeoff? I want to go to Chengdu; is the southwest direction waiting here?"

"Yes." The girl finally raised her head; seeing his upright figure, her eyes lit up, and she smiled with curved mouth corners: "I'm also going to Chengdu."

"That's great; we might be on the same plane."

"Do you work in Chengdu?"

The girl had just put down her phone, revealing a cute smile...

Then, it turned into terror.

Xi Tan silently cursed, not having time to turn around; he reached out and hugged the girl, throwing her like a "yaya"-screaming rag doll behind him, while he himself used that force to lunge forward hard.

The thud-thud-thud of military boots striking the ground was so close, as if there were breathing beside his ear.

"Go to hell." He took out the stun gun again and struck backward behind his back.

The burly man who had just woken up grunted "Hmph," exerted force with his calf, leaped into the air, and then bounced straight out, just right kicking Xi Tan's wrist.

A naval major general—the "Blue Eagle"—trembled like a jellyman, his whole body going limp.

The embarrassed and angry burly man then landed lightly, revealing a simple and honest smile, cupping his hands to those around: "Caught a thief, all is well."

The girl opposite stood blankly in disarray under the air conditioning.

"Know what Body Technique Level 8 is now?" The big man grabbed Xi Tan's collar and dragged him like a dead dog into the security room.

The waiting passengers only then came back to their senses; discussing was discussing, but nothing affected anything anymore.

Xi Tan gradually woke up amid the jolting.

What met his eyes was pitch black.

The floor was ice cold.

He hurriedly touched his eyes, discovering he was not injured.

"Looks like a carriage." He felt along where he was sitting upward, but did not rush to knock on the door.

Actually, knocking would be useless.

Only cowards shout and scream; only those at the end of their rope rely on the brutal force of biological instinct to survive. Xi Tan had not fallen to the level of commoners.

After waiting who knows how long, he was bored to death, and even counted how many turns the vehicle had made.

"It slowed down."

He silently recited a phrase, straightened his collar, and closed his eyes slightly, so as not to look like a stray dog.

The door opened.

Dazzling sunlight poured in without a gap.

Xi Tan stood steadily, maintaining the last dignity of a general.

"General Xi."

"Chen Yi?" He slowly widened his eyes; Chen Yi stood with his back to the sunlight, his powerful, tall figure inexplicably reminding Xi Tan of Huo Yuanjia, while the halo created by the light made him think of God.

"Let me help you down." Chen Yi was not as overbearing as expected.

Xi Tan felt slightly better inside. Although at the Naval Headquarters he was often called "the youngest," he was actually forty years old, no younger than Chen Congyu.

If he were humiliated by someone like Chen Yi, who was only half his age, Xi Tan truly did not know what to do.

"Perhaps he has no evidence at all?"

Xi Tan hoped so.

The transport plane at the airport and the transport ship at the wharf were arranged by his direct subordinates, but they did not know what was being transported. The Special Operations Team was the only weak point, but there was no evidence proving it was his order...

Xi Tan decided to head toward the best target, so he took Chen Yi's hand and stepped out of the stuffy train carriage.

Once his feet touched solid ground, he felt a bit dizzy instead.

"The hospitality of the Jiangning Chen Family is truly admirable," Xi Tan said sarcastically, his gaze wandering over the small brick wall before him, and he smiled, "Old buildings from the colonial era. Am I in the city center of Jiangning City?"

Chen Yi did not answer him; the smile on his face revealed neither joy nor anger.

"Am I right?"

"I caught eight former Naval Special Warfare Team members who attempted to rob the gold in the underground vault of the Jiangning Bank Head Office; they were caught red-handed, and not one escaped." Chen Yi valued his time and was too lazy to beat around the bush.

He opened the notebook computer in the courtyard himself and played the footage captured by the closed-circuit television at noon today.

"They were stupid enough to be caught on camera," Xi Tan was speechless for a moment, then thought: Did these guys know about the robbery in advance? How could specially trained special operations team members make such a low-level mistake?

Stunned for a moment, he first distanced himself: "If they are non-active Naval Special Warfare Team members, what they want to do is none of my business. If they are active, then you should find the person who issued the order. I don't remember issuing any orders recently."

Chen Yi smiled slightly and said, "They said it was you who forced them to retire."

The "they" here referred to a much wider range. He had actually found the officer who signed the file and traced it back to the special operations team officer who gave the order. His uncle Chen Guoliang was in Xijing; asking for help was too simple.

Xi Tan was not sure if anyone in the Special Operations Team had surrendered, and only said, "None of my business, I don't remember."

"Don't be so hostile." Chen Yi smiled, took Xi Tan's hand and sat him down, saying, "Since I'm the one asking you, let's have a good talk. Otherwise, it won't be easy to find an opportunity to talk again."

"I have nothing to talk about."

"You certainly do."

"I don't know."

Chen Yi shook his head slightly, clapped his hands, and said, "Let me introduce someone to you."

Xi Tan seemed to have anticipated something and said hatefully, "I've trained who knows how many special operations team members; don't think you can frame me. I've said enough—illegally detaining a Naval Major General, don't you know how great the crime is?"

"I know; that depends on your crime." Chen Yi pursed his lips backward.

Xi Tan took one look and was stunned.

Fu Polin was looking at him with a strange gaze.

"You..."

Xi Tan could never have imagined that Fu Polin had actually turned traitor.

Representatives of the Cao Family, Xi Family, Liu Family, and He Family had all met with him...

What was he thinking?

Offending four great families and two factions at once?

Xi Tan didn't even know if he had such guts.

Fu Polin obviously did.

He was already at the end of his rope, his eyes projecting a mad light, pointing at Xi Tan and saying: "I saw him talking to Cao Zhun through the window. Cao Zhun asked me many things about the vault, and those two retired veterans were also arranged by him at my request."

Cao Zhun was the most promising third-generation heir of the Cao Family, graduating from university at eighteen, a well-known advisor in Xijing, and several astonishing feats were accompanied by his own meticulous personal involvement.

But this time, personal involvement had become a dangerous bomb.

And it was going to blow Xi Tan to pieces.

"Trouble you, let's talk a few more words in private." Chen Yi's words woke Xi Tan up.

The stern-looking staff member took Fu Polin away.

"You caught him too?"

"Assisting in stealing the bank vault; the charge is solid."

Without Fu Polin's charge, the rope's upper end couldn't be implicated. Xi Tan said as if seeing through everything: "What wish did you grant him? Send him overseas, or to that fictitious ghost place of yours?"

"You've heard of the West Continent too." This was the first time Chen Yi admitted the existence of the West Continent to an official outside the Chen Clan; he smiled, but said: "The person just now was from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Cao Zhun has already taken the blame."

"You want to drag the Cao Family into the water, right?" Xi Tan disdainfully spat out a sentence.

Chen Yi laughed and said: "It was you who dragged the Cao Family into the water."
