The conspiracy against Ye Chen

Tang Qiu was momentarily stunned, then sat beside Ye Chen and said, "I'm sorry, Ye Chen, I was just afraid that you might get into trouble and something bad would happen."

Hearing Tang Qiu's apology and seeing her worried expression, Ye Chen's anger subsided, and he said, "It's fine."

Tang Qiu still urged him, "You still need to be careful; Deputy Commander Zhu is very protective of his own people, otherwise so many people wouldn't follow him."

Ye Chen nodded and said okay.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Nuoyi went to open the door, and three girls wearing combat uniforms appeared in front of it.

The leading short-haired beauty smiled and said, "Hello, I am here to look for Mr. Ye Chen."

Lin Nuoyi nodded and let the three of them enter.

The three women came before Ye Chen, bowed, and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye Chen. I am Commander Zhang's assistant, my name is Zhu Tiantian. Commander Zhang asked me to come and find you; please come over for a moment."

Ye Chen was a bit puzzled; at this critical juncture, why was Commander Zhang suddenly looking for him?

However, he still nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be there in a moment."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye Chen, Commander Zhang requests that you go over right now."

Ye Chen helplessly stood up and followed Zhu Tiantian toward the General Commander's office at the headquarters.

Yu Nian and the others originally wanted to follow, but were stopped by Ye Chen; if something really went wrong, this way Ye Chen could notify them to run away immediately.

Arriving at the door of Zhang Yun's office, Zhu Tiantian knocked on the door: "Commander Zhang, Mr. Ye Chen is here."

"Good, let him in!"

Zhu Tiantian opened the door and gestured for Ye Chen to enter.

Ye Chen nodded and walked into the office.

Zhang Yun looked at Ye Chen and smiled, "Come, sit!"

Ye Chen sat down, feeling puzzled.

Just after he sat down, Zhang Yun spoke with a smile, "Not bad, you actually killed Mad Dog, and it was a crushing victory. I have to say, you are truly strong. If I were Rank 11, I'm not sure I could have defeated that Mad Dog."

Having just sat down, for Zhang Yun to praise him like this, Ye Chen knew in his heart that there must be something going on.

Zhang Yun didn't say it, and Ye Chen didn't ask; Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Commander Zhang, you flatter me."

Zhang Yun leaned back in his chair, staring at Ye Chen, and said mysteriously, "Ye Chen, I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

Zhang Yun lit a cigarette, smoked it, and said, "People from the Tiandao Alliance discovered a Rank 20 Lord-level Monster, and this monster is inside the Dabie Mountains."

Ye Chen frowned and said, "It's just hunting a Rank 20 monster; even if it is a Lord-level one, it shouldn't require Commander Zhang to tell me personally, right?"

Commander Zhang took a puff of his cigarette and laughed, "Haha, you are as sharp as ever. That's right, there is indeed a hidden story behind this. This Rank 20 Lord-level Monster has an unusual ability and possesses extremely high intelligence; it can bewitch Pet Masters to become its servants. It has already bewitched many Pet Masters into becoming its servants, causing trouble nearby and killing many people."

"An Elder of the Tiandao Alliance died at its hands, so the Tiandao Alliance is requesting our support, which is why I want to send you."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes and asked suspiciously, "There are so many people with higher Ranks in the Law Enforcement Alliance, and many are much stronger than me; why send me?"

"Hahaha, Ye Chen, you are too modest. There are indeed many people in the Law Enforcement Alliance with higher Ranks than you, but their combat ability might not match yours. If you go, I can let Luosha join the team of the Devouring Sky Tiger and the others, how about that?" Zhang Yun looked at Ye Chen with confident eyes.

Ye Chen did not agree immediately.

Seeing that Ye Chen remained silent, Zhang Yun pretended to be nonchalant and said, "As far as I know, Deputy Commander Li has already given up on Luosha and intends to kill him, giving his experience and treasure to a newcomer."

Using the rules of the Law Enforcement Alliance to order Ye Chen around was nonsense; Ye Chen wouldn't care about those orders and rules. He knew that Ye Chen was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness, which is why he said that.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, I don't mean that at all. I'm just kindly reminding you. How about this: after the mission is accomplished, I will make you a Captain, and let Luosha, the Devouring Sky Tiger, and the others follow you!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen said okay.

Even if Zhang Yun hadn't threatened him, Ye Chen intended to go anyway. After all, it was a Rank 20 Lord-level Monster, and he really wanted to go and see it.

Seeing Ye Chen agree, Zhang Yun was immediately overjoyed.

Ye Chen asked, "When are we going, and how many people are going?"

Zhang Yun said, "We will set off early tomorrow morning. We will send three teams, and the Tiandao Alliance will send six teams, all of whom are above Rank 9."

Ye Chen nodded, said okay, and turned to leave.

After he left, someone walked out from an inner room.

If Ye Chen were here, he would definitely recognize this person; it was Deputy Commander Zhu.

Deputy Commander Zhu smiled, "Did he agree?"

Zhang Yun stretched and said, "He agreed. This plan is finally complete."

Deputy Commander Zhu sat beside Zhang Yun and smiled, "Our harvest this time will be huge."

"Yes, who would have known there was a Treasure Trove in the Dabie Mountains? Just the mysterious boxes alone are three, plus other things, it's a pile of treasures!" Zhang Yun grinned.

Deputy Commander Zhu also laughed out loud: "Yes, who knew there was a Rank 20 Lord-level Monster guarding it? This monster is also highly intelligent and can even speak human language."

"It's fortunate that this monster can speak human language; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to negotiate a deal with it."

"Yes, this monster is too greedy. It actually made us sacrifice fifty Pet Masters above Rank 8, including a Tier 7 Saint Grade pet, and it has to be a very strong one, otherwise it won't give up the Treasure Trove."

"Which of these Pet Masters with Saint Grade pets isn't someone above the Rank of Department Head in our Law Enforcement Alliance? They are either our friends or important combat forces of our Law Enforcement Alliance!" Deputy Commander Zhu complained.

Zhang Yun patted Deputy Commander Zhu on the shoulder and smiled, "Alright, isn't that kid Ye Chen going? Won't everything be solved? We were a bit troubled before, but I didn't expect this kid Ye Chen to appear out of thin air; it really is an unexpected joy."

Deputy Commander Zhu laughed upon hearing this: "Only the two of us know about this; we will split the Treasure Trove between the two of us!"

Zhang Yun smiled, "Don't worry. What did the Tiandao Alliance say?"

Deputy Commander Zhu replied, "It's already settled. They will send thirty people, plus our twenty people, which is enough."

"That's good. If not for our secret support, could it have been established? They don't want to contribute to our Law Enforcement Alliance when things happen; there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

After saying this, the two of them laughed out loud.

On Ye Chen's side, he had already returned to his residence, where Lin Nuoyi and the others were anxiously waiting in the room.
