I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Colonel Duan?

Li Chengde looked at Colonel Duan, who was shaking uncontrollably, with a face full of question marks.

Everyone present was a little overwhelmed.

A cool evening breeze blew past the Jiang family's door.

But Li Chengde couldn't feel it; he only felt that his blood was about to freeze.

The scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

This Colonel Duan was his trump card, painstakingly recruited, and the absolute force he intended to use to crush Ye An.

But now, this trump card is trembling like a leaf in front of Ye An.

What is this?

Jiang Xiaotian and Jiang Yuer were also stunned.

Jiang Yu'er, in particular, was still clinging tightly to Ye An's arm, her palms sweating and soaking Ye An's sleeves.

She considered many possibilities.

Ye An displayed his extraordinary power and drove these people away.

Or, if Ye An is no match for her, she will escape with him.

But she never expected that the other party's leader would immediately back down upon meeting them.

"Duan Changfeng," Ye An said calmly.

He called out Colonel Duan's full name.

"As a member of the Jiangnan Military Region, your actions outside represent the face of the military region, so you need to behave properly."

Upon hearing his name, Duan Changfeng shuddered again, lowering his head even further, looking like a primary school student being publicly reprimanded.

"Yes, yes, Master Ye is right." He nodded and bowed, his voice trembling with tears.

Looking at his spineless appearance, Ye An continued, "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind cleaning up a disobedient subordinate for General Chen Long."

General Chen Long!

As soon as those four words were uttered, Jiang Xiaotian's pupils contracted sharply.

That was the Commander-in-Chief of the entire Jiangnan Military Region, commanding three provinces and one municipality!

The truly powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of power!

Master Ye... actually knows General Chen Long?

Jiang Xiaotian felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

The way he looked at Ye An had completely changed.

It was no longer about looking up in awe at a martial arts master, but about gazing up at an insurmountable mountain.

Li Chengde also heard it.

Although he was not from the military region, everyone in the Jiangnan region knew the name of General Chen Long.

His mind went blank, with only one thought swirling wildly within him.

It’s over.

This time we've kicked a hornet's nest, no, we've kicked an ancient sacred mountain.

"I wouldn't dare! I absolutely wouldn't dare!"

Duan Changfeng was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body, and he frantically waved his hands.

"Master Ye, I... I really didn't know it was you! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to come even if you gave me a hundred lives!"

He just wants to slap himself a few times right now.

Back in Jiangcheng, he was kicked out of headquarters and sent to Shanghai by General Chen Long because he offended this man with his words. Although his official position remained the same, his path to promotion was completely cut off.

I thought I'd never see this scoundrel again, but who knew I'd be tricked by that idiot Li Chengde today, who practically delivered himself right to my doorstep.

Ye An was too lazy to waste any more words with him.

His goal was clear: the Li family's secret medicinal herbs.

Since someone has offered to do the hard labor, that's naturally the best thing.

"Go." Ye An raised his chin and pointed in Li Chengde's direction. "Empty out the Li family's treasure vault for me. Leave nothing inside and send it all to the Jiang family."

After Ye An finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the others.

With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of crimson light and vanished from the spot, leaving only a gentle breeze that ruffled Jiang Yuer's hair.

Only after Ye An left did the heavy aura that had been pressing down on everyone dissipate.

Duan Changfeng let out a long breath, feeling as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his military uniform on the back was soaked.

The scene was deathly silent.

The dozen or so "Night Wolf" squad members remained in a surrounding posture, looking at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to do.

"Colonel Duan... Colonel Duan..."

Li Chengde finally found his voice. He walked forward tremblingly, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"What...what happened? Why are you so frightened by him?"

Duan Changfeng slowly turned around, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Li Chengde.

That look in his eyes was as if he wanted to skin him alive.

"He scared me that much?"

Duan Changfeng's voice was hoarse as he walked step by step toward Li Chengde.

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap landed on Li Chengde's face without warning.

The force was so great that Li Chengde was spun halfway around on the spot and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face instantly swelling up on one side.

"Damn it, Li Chengde!" Duan Changfeng pointed at Li Chengde's nose and cursed, "You're really something! You really know how to make me miserable!"

Li Chengde covered his face, completely dumbfounded.

"Colonel Duan, I...I..."

"Do you even know who he is?!"

Duan Changfeng's spittle landed on his face.

"You dare let me touch him?!"

"Behind him is General Chen Long, Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangnan Military Region!"

Duan Changfeng grew angrier as he spoke, and then stepped forward and kicked Li Chengde again.

"You think I was transferred to Shanghai for this? Huh? It's because I offended him in Jiangcheng last year!"

"My promising future was ruined by him!"

"You've sent me here to cause him trouble again today? You want me dead?!"

This statement contains a great deal of information.

Jiang Xiaotian and Jiang Yu'er listened with trepidation.

So that's how it is!

Master Ye's background is terrifyingly powerful!

Even a senior colonel in the military region can have his career ruined by a single sentence.

Jiang Xiaotian recalled An Siyuan's arrogant attitude from the An family and found it laughable.

An family may be a behemoth in the capital, but compared to a general who holds military power, they seem to be nothing.

An Siyuan wanted Master Ye to be a mere alchemist.

It's a big joke.

Jiang Xiaotian was overjoyed, thankful that he had chosen the right side from the very beginning and had not been negligent in the slightest.

After venting his anger, Duan Changfeng finally calmed down a bit.

He glanced at Li Chengde, who was still stunned on the ground, and snorted coldly.

Now is not the time to argue with this fool; completing the task assigned by Master Ye is the most important thing.

This is your only chance to redeem yourself!

If things go well, that lord might be pleased and say a few good words to General Chen Long, giving me a chance to be transferred back, or even to run for the title of God of War again.

"Everyone, listen to my command!" Duan Changfeng turned around and roared at his men.

"Yes!" a dozen soldiers responded in unison, their voices booming.

"Target: the Li family mansion!" Duan Changfeng waved his hand, pointing in the direction Li Chengde had come from. "Turn their treasure trove upside down! Leave nothing of value, not even a single hair!"

"yes!"

"Set off!"

The dozen or so soldiers swiftly and efficiently packed up and boarded the vehicle, without the slightest hesitation.

Three military off-road vehicles roared to life, turned around, and sped away.

Li Chengde was left alone, sitting on the ground, looking foolish.

His men looked at each other, and finally, steeling themselves, helped him up from the ground.

"It's over..." Li Chengde muttered to himself, his eyes vacant. "It's all over..."

"Damn it, where did this military thug come from?!"

He knew that from tonight onwards, the Li family in Shanghai had become a complete joke.

The area in front of the Jiang family's gate has finally returned to calm.

Jiang Xiaotian watched the military vehicle speed away, then looked at his granddaughter beside him, and sighed deeply.

He felt that all the storms he had weathered over the past few decades had been for nothing.

In front of a truly great figure like Master Ye, his limited knowledge and skills were utterly insignificant.

"Yu'er," Jiang Xiaotian said, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Grandpa, I'm here," Jiang Yu'er replied, her gaze still fixed on the direction where Ye An had disappeared, her eyes filled with unwavering admiration and adoration.

"From now on, Master Ye's matter will be the top priority for the Jiang family," Jiang Xiaotian said solemnly. "Whatever his requests, we must fulfill them at all costs, understand?"

"I understand." Jiang Yu'er nodded heavily.

She looked down at her palms, which still retained Ye An's warmth, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

She knew that the distance between herself and Ye An was farther than she had imagined.

But she has no intention of giving up.

This is the kind of man that Jiang Yu'er would follow for a lifetime.
