39: Chapter 40 General Ye, a true hero! We will never let heroes shed blood and our hearts be broken!

Imperial Capital.

War Department.

Supreme Command Center.

Elder Chu Zhan, his temples sprinkled with silver.

Still spirited and sharp-eyed.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes calm as an ancient well.

Gazing for a long time at an old, slightly faded and mottled photograph on the wall of merit.

His adjutant, the female guard Qin Yige, frowned slightly and stepped lightly.

Standing beside Chu Zhan, she whispered.

"Elder, are you reminiscing about that battle again?"

Chu Zhan nodded and said solemnly.

"Indeed, Yige. Look, what a young, talented general, so brave and skilled in battle."

"If it weren't for General Zhenbei, those little Japanese devils would have been so arrogant and rampant."

"In one battle, he slaughtered nearly a hundred thousand of those little Japanese devils, making the name 'Ye Yun' strike fear into their hearts."

"What a pity, such a young, talented commander, yet he fell like that!"

Qin Yige hissed, "Elder, could it be that the person currently serving as the commander…"

"Do you still have doubts?"

"Didn't you already confirm it with the Ye Family's patriarch, Ye Xiaoguo?"

Chu Zhan gave a meaningful, bitter smile.

"Yige, one shouldn't just look at the surface. For the sake of top-secret clearance, General Ye and I set up a special encrypted short-number…"

"Beep! Ring-a-ling! Beep! Ring-a-ling~"

Suddenly.

A special ringtone came from the drawer of Chu Zhan's desk.

Chu Zhan turned abruptly, strode to the desk, and pulled open the drawer.

He picked up the encrypted phone that had been silent for nearly five years, the one he had been waiting for.

On the screen was the familiar yet strange encrypted short number—0!

Chu Zhan's pupils constricted, his emotions quite stirred.

He immediately pressed answer.

"Marquis of the North… General Zhenbei, is it really you?"

"…The War Department's Chu Zhan is ready at all times. Please give your orders, General Ye!"

On the other end of the line.

Ye Yun smiled with relief, "Elder Chu, you're too kind! I will always be a soldier under your command; how could I dare to give you orders!"

Chu Zhan laughed heartily.

"You silly boy, welcome back to the team! Welcome home!"

"I've said it before, on the battlefield, you and I are brothers who share a life-and-death bond, brothers who could entrust our lives to one another."

"If it weren't for you, Ye Yun, risking your life to carry me out from a pile of corpses, I would have died on the battlefield long ago!"

"Whatever you need, just say the word. Chu Zhan will go through fire and water for you, without hesitation~"

Hearing Chu Zhan's bold words, Ye Yun felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

"Elder Chu, thank you!"

"Regarding the current internet mobbing against Liu Ruyan and me."

"I hope Elder Chu can step in, contact the Network Information Security Department, and address it from the root."

"Coordinate with the police and law enforcement departments to punish those internet trolls, paid posters, and keyboard warriors who spread rumors and slander!"

"The internet is not a lawless place, and cyberbullying should not become a wild feast for those with evil intentions."

"They must be curbed; their crimes deserve severe punishment!"

Upon hearing this.

Chu Zhan was extremely shocked.

"What? General Ye, it was my negligence."

"I originally thought it was just a common case of cyberbullying."

"I even thought the name was just a coincidence."

"I didn't expect it to actually be you!"

"And Liu Ruyan, she is…"

Ye Yun replied decisively.

"She is my wife!"

Chu Zhan said loudly and boldly.

"Yes, understood!"

"General Ye, a true hero! Never let a hero bleed and feel disheartened!"

"I will handle it immediately~"

After a brief pause.

Ye Yun continued.

"Elder Chu, it's not appropriate for my identity to be exposed too much for now, please keep it confidential for me!"

"Especially… from the Ye Family!"

Chu Zhan sighed, "Oh, please rest assured about that!"

After a pause.

He asked further.

"Back then, what exactly happened? You, the legitimate young master of the Ye Family, how were you replaced by an impostor who took your place?"

Ye Yun smiled helplessly.

"Elder Chu, my memories haven't fully recovered yet."

"Forgive me, but I cannot disclose the specifics of what happened back then."

Chu Zhan also sighed in his heart, "Good! Understood!"

"Good lad, no matter what darkness you've experienced, take care of yourself. Only by living is there hope!"

"If there's anything you need me for, just say the word~"

Ye Yun said gratefully.

"Thank you, Elder Chu!"

After finishing the call.

Chu Zhan immediately used the name of the War Department to call the Network Information Security Department to curb the cyberbullying…

Jiangzhou.

Fanya International Group building.

Outside the main entrance on the first floor.

Xiao Xiaoxiao was live-streaming.

Xiao Shanhe and Xiao Kun gathered and crowded around the group of troublemakers.

Shouting and yelling, some high-pitched, some low-pitched.

"The promiscuous slut, the crazy woman Liu Ruyan, get out here quickly, accept the judgment of justice, and face social death across the entire internet!"

"The perverted, shrimp-headed man Ye Yun, you are licking the stinking boots of Liu Ruyan, you won't be able to escape legal sanctions!"

"Humph! Liu Ruyan relies on the protection of the Liu Family to kill people so brutally, she really deserves to die! Her entire clan should be wiped out!"

"Today, Ye Yun and Liu Ruyan must be brought to justice and accept the verdict of the law!"

"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"

"Ye Yun! Get out here! Liu Ruyan! Get out here!"

The noise and clamor grew louder and louder.

Led by assistant Ding Lan, the security guards of Fanya International stood firm at the main entrance.

"Back off! Everyone, back off!"

"You are creating a disturbance. If you dare to charge again, we won't be polite~"

Every sturdy and fierce security guard held an electric baton, pointing it at those troublemakers attempting to charge into Fanya International.

Some of them were even carrying bricks, stones, and the like, completely presenting a posture of rushing in to start a crazy smashing spree.

Security Captain Ma Baoguo saw the situation.

He gestured his self-created martial art, the Lightning Five-Lash Whip.

"Huo! Huo! Ha! Hey!"

While revealing fear, he said to Ding Lan.

"Sister Lan, what should we do now?"

"Once the conflict escalates and this bunch of crazy people rushes into the group, there will definitely be smashing and destruction, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"What did Sister Ruyan say?"

Ding Lan frowned tightly and let out a long sigh. She said to Security Captain Ma Baoguo in a deep voice.

"Old Ma, steady!"

"Sister Ruyan said, do not clash with them and cause bloodshed."

"She will be at the group soon~"

Security Captain Ma Baoguo sighed to himself, "Sister Lan, you should step back!"

"These bastards are all carrying bricks and weapons."

"Don't let them hurt you. I'll tell the brothers to hold the line!"

Ding Lan looked around at the crazily charging troublemakers.

And Xiao Xiaoxiao was arrogantly facing the live-stream camera, continuing to incite the cyberbullies on the internet.

"Everyone, my brothers and sisters, we have arrived at the entrance of the promiscuous slut's Fanya International!"

"I beg the vast number of netizens to share and upvote more. I must seek justice for my tragically dead mother!"

"Liu Ruyan must receive the judgment of justice, and Ye Yun must be punished by the law!"

"I have always believed that the law is not omnipotent, but sometimes it can become a form of salvation."

"I must defend justice and seek justice!"

"I must fight to the end with this pair of scumbags, Ye Yun and Liu Ruyan!"
