"Duan Changfeng! Who gave you the audacity to disrespect Mr. Ye?!"

Duan Changfeng was leaning back in his chair, holding a teacup, looking arrogant and condescending.

Upon hearing the shout, he first frowned, preparing to lash out.

But when he saw the person's face clearly, he sprang up from the sofa as if he had been put on a spring.

With a "bang," his knee slammed heavily onto the solid wood coffee table, spilling tea all over the floor.

His heart skipped a beat the moment Chen Zheyuan appeared on stage.

When Chen Zheyuan apologized to Ye An, he could hardly believe it.

This is Chen Zheyuan, Chen Long's grandson! The son of the current War God of Jiangnan!

There are quite a few candidates for the title of God of War like him. Ultimately, who gets to take the position depends on the current God of War's decision.

Moreover, not to mention him, even his superiors have to be polite and smiling when they see Chen Zheyuan.

Even though they both hold the rank of senior colonel, one is a city military district officer in a place like Jiangcheng, while the other is the head of the guard department of the Jiangnan Military Region. They are both at the core of power and have unlimited potential.

How can they be compared?

Not to mention the Chen family's deep roots in the military, which Duan Changfeng could never match.

At this moment, Duan Changfeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward. He couldn't care less about the pain. His originally dignified face was instantly filled with terror as he scrambled forward, his voice trembling.

"Brother Chen? You...you came all this way in person?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

The candidate for the God of War, who could command the wind and rain in Jiangcheng and cause earthquakes with a stomp of his foot, was now bowing and scraping to a young man in camouflage, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

Chen Zheyuan gave him a cold look and sneered, "If I hadn't come, I really wouldn't have known that you almost beat up the old general's distinguished guest!"

"A distinguished guest?" Duan Changfeng was stunned, his gaze shifting between Ye An and Chen Zheyuan, his face full of disbelief. "Brother Chen, you mean, this kid... no, this gentleman, is a friend of the old general?"

In his mind, General Chen Long was nearly eighty years old, and his students and former subordinates were spread throughout both the military and political circles.

Those whom the old general called friends were all prominent figures, nearing seventy years old.

How could this young man in casual clothes, who looks to be no more than twenty years old, possibly be related to the old general?

"What, do you think I'm using the old general's name to intimidate you?" Chen Zheyuan asked in a sinister tone.

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten lives!" Duan Changfeng was sweating profusely, the sweat streaming down his forehead, and he didn't even dare to wipe it away.

Chen Zheyuan pointed to the door: "The old general personally instructed me to drive his official car to invite Mr. Ye. The car is parked outside right now!"

boom!

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in Duan Changfeng's mind.

He knew all too well the value of that Audi A6.

That was a car specially assigned to General Chen by the military; even his own sons weren't entitled to ride in it normally.

That vehicle will only be deployed when there is an extremely high level of reception or a major military operation.

Chen Zheyuan, as the old general's grandson and also his personal bodyguard, personally drove to pick them up.

Such treatment is rare enough to be found on two hands throughout the entire Jiangnan Province!

Duan Changfeng felt his legs go weak, and the back of his clothes was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

He finally realized what a terrifying iron plate he had kicked today.

Before he could even react, Chen Zheyuan, his face ashen, pointed at him and angrily rebuked him:

"Duan Changfeng! You better remember this: you're wearing a military uniform! Soldiers should have the bearing of soldiers, not try to be a businessman and scheme to make money all the time!"

"Stay far, far away from the filth that you shouldn't be involved in! If you dare to abuse your power for personal gain again, no one can protect you!"

This reprimand was like a wake-up call, terrifying Duan Changfeng to the point of utter panic.

He no longer cared about saving face, hurriedly turned around, and bowed deeply to Ye An at a ninety-degree angle.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice so loud that it could be heard clearly even behind the screen:

"Mr. Ye! I, Duan Changfeng, was blind to your greatness, not knowing you were the old general's distinguished guest! All the blame lies with me; please, in your magnanimity, don't hold it against me!"

The people inside and outside the screen had completely lost their ability to think at this moment.

This is absolutely absurd.

A dignified master of internal energy, the future war god of Jiangnan, is actually bowing and apologizing to a poor boy from the mountains.

Wang Zhentian sat in the chair with his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg, unaware that the walnut in his hand had fallen to the ground.

Wang Kai, in his wheelchair, looked ashen-faced, his eyes practically bulging out.

He was originally waiting to see Ye An's legs broken, but now his biggest backer is acting like a grandson to someone else.

Just who is this kid?

Even the governor's son isn't worth Duan Changfeng's groveling!

Could he be a top young master from Yanjing?

Those rich young men and women who had been watching the spectacle from the outside were now all silent with fear.

Seeing Chen Zheyuan's camouflage uniform, even the most naive person would understand that this matter involved high-ranking military officials.

Lin Feifei was so frightened that she took two steps back, twisted her high heels, and almost fell.

She had just been mocking Su Wanqing for hiring a thug and bodyguard, but now she felt a burning pain on her face.

Sitting in the main seat, Jiang Ya suddenly shivered, a strong sense of fear welling up inside her.

She was just planning to give Su Wanqing a warning so that she would dump Ye An.

Looking back now, it's utterly ridiculous!

The person who came was no nobody; he was General Chen Long's bodyguard! Moreover, he was the head of the guard department of the Jiangnan Military Region!

Ye An was actually a distinguished guest whom even General Chen treated with utmost courtesy!

"This is a big problem..." Jiang Ya bit her lip, her face pale.

She absolutely refused to admit that she had misjudged the situation, but the facts were undeniable, leaving her no choice but to believe them.

Su Wanqing stood next to Ye An, completely bewildered.

She turned to look at Ye An's handsome and calm profile, her mind a jumbled mess.

She originally thought Ye An was a young man with exceptional medical and martial arts skills, but later she learned that he was actually a cultivator!

But now, even the bigwigs in the military treat him with utmost respect.

How many secrets is he still hiding?

Ye An looked at Duan Changfeng, who was trembling with fear, and then at Chen Zheyuan, who seemed angry but was actually observing from the side. He knew exactly what was going on.

As soon as Chen Zheyuan came in, he loudly berated Duan Changfeng. On the surface, he was standing up for him, but in reality, he was protecting Duan Changfeng.

After all, Duan Changfeng was also a member of the military. If Chen Zheyuan hadn't taken the initiative and had waited for Ye An to make his move, or if the old general had investigated the matter afterward, Duan Changfeng's fate would have been a hundred times worse than it is now.

"Mr. Ye, what do you think about this matter... how should we handle it?" Chen Zheyuan cautiously approached and tentatively asked in a low voice.
