Chapter 787: Slap in the Face
Chapter 787: Slap in the Face
In this territory of the base, Ye Fan is the one and only commander, unrestricted and unconstrained by anyone.Old Master Fu invited Ye Fan to serve as an instructor, entrusting all the excellent trainees into Ye Fan’s hands. This was an extreme level of trust in Ye Fan. Old Master Fu had no intention of interfering, leaving all affairs entirely for Ye Fan to handle.
From Fu Huixia at the top to the guards of the base, everyone obeys Ye Fan’s orders without objection, and no one dares to contradict.
At this moment, the guards, without needing to discuss, were instructed by the Guard Captain to seize Dai Zhanpeng and another person, taking them to wait outside the field where Ye Fan trained the trainees. They did not have the credentials to intrude into Ye Fan’s core training area and could only wait on Ye Fan’s inevitable path. Once Ye Fan finished the task of training the trainees and took a break, they would hand these two over to Ye Fan for disposition.
The guards could care less about Dai Zhanpeng’s identity. Even if the identity of the person coming was higher, they would show no mercy.
Though they directly receive orders from Old Master Fu, Old Master Fu had strict directives that while Ye Fan served as instructor, there was no need to report unrelated matters to him; everything was to follow Ye Fan’s will primarily.
Therefore, after capturing Dai Zhanpeng and the other, they did not seek Old Master Fu’s opinion for handling at the first moment but handed them over to Ye Fan to deal with. Once the matter was resolved, they would report the results to Old Master Fu.
Outside Ye Fan’s training area with the trainees, the guards restrained Dai Zhanpeng and the other person, quietly awaiting Ye Fan’s arrival.
They certainly did not send anyone to disturb Ye Fan; their duty did not permit it, so they could only wait quietly.
"This is doomed; seeing this stance, I’ll either die or get skinned alive. These guards are definitely nothing simple, and this base is far more than just a simple secret location; it’s simply a forbidden land," the man under watch grew more intensely shocked the more he observed, while also becoming increasingly frightened.
"I didn’t intrude into Thunder God Forbidden Land, did it have to be like this?" Dai Zhanpeng thought in utter frustration, almost to the point of tears.
On the training ground, Yang Shu accepted the challenge from a female trainee again, and once more ended in defeat.
Yang Shu was humble in being challenged, being defeated time and again, yet without arrogance or discouragement, which left everyone with puzzled looks. The trainees had a pressing question in their hearts: how did Yang Shu become so approachable?
Only Zhang Lu and Shen Tingting vaguely guessed that Yang Shu’s change had something to do with Ye Fan; everyone else was just deeply confused.
At noon, it was time for a break.
Ye Fan finished his morning training session, and the trainees went to rest and have lunch. He and Fu Huixia walked out of the core area together, running into the scene of guards detaining Dai Zhanpeng and the other person.
"Is it him?" Fu Huixia furrowed her brow involuntarily, and said in a puzzled low voice, "What’s this annoying guy doing here? And why was he captured? Could it be that he intruded into the base and the guards took him down?"
"Fool, he’s going to walk into serious trouble now." As this thought crossed Fu Huixia’s mind, she cursed under her breath, then laughed with schadenfreude.
"What’s going on?" Ye Fan asked indifferently.
The guards solemnly saluted, and then the Guard Captain bent down and said, "These two intruded into the base; we specifically captured them to hand over to you for handling."
No matter their way of speaking or tone, the guards all spoke with respect.
"Just handle it according to the regulations. Little matters like this don’t need to be reported to me," Ye Fan said casually.
"Due to the special and secret nature of this base, no corresponding punishment measures have ever been formulated. However, based on past experience and cases, the punishment for intruding into a confidential base varies depending on the subject. In situations like these two, the punishment can range from severe detention for seven days, conducting comprehensive inspection and education, to a mild warning," the Guard Captain spoke eloquently and stated unrelentingly, "For these two, my suggestion is to detain first, then impose corresponding punishment based on the severity of the situation."
"Just do as you said, and for similar minor matters in the future, handle them on your own; don’t bother me," Ye Fan said after tossing those words, leaving directly.
"Honestly... I really don’t know what to say. This guy doesn’t even bother to ask about Dai Zhanpeng’s identity. To handle a figure as sensitive as Dai Zhanpeng and still remain unphased, regardless of Dai Zhanpeng’s fault, handling someone of his identity is not a trivial matter at all. How can he be so calm about it?" Fu Huixia muttered begrudgingly.
Dai Zhanpeng was stupefied, feeling as though he’d been knocked for a loop; Ye Fan’s disregard hurt him deeply. Who was he, if not a lofty noble, akin to a Prince in ancient times?
Since Ye Fan and Fu Huixia walked out together, he recognized Ye Fan as the guy cohabiting with Fu Huixia.
In his current embarrassing state, he didn’t want to make too much of a scene, for fear of leaving a bad impression in Fu Huixia’s eyes.
Therefore, he fixed all his attention on Ye Fan, observing this man and guessing about Ye Fan’s identity.
Racking his brains, he felt no familiarity with Ye Fan, thus firmly believing this person was not a high-ranking offspring.
Yet Ye Fan didn’t even have the notion of glancing at him, treating him like air, which angered him.
Seeing Ye Fan leaving, he shouted furiously, "Stop, you stop there, bastard, damn it, you stop for me!"
Ye Fan paused his steps, turned his head to glance at Dai Zhanpeng. To speak frankly, he cared nothing about Dai Zhanpeng’s identity or background. His responsibility was to train the trainees, and during breaks, he wanted to rest well, not waste too much time on other matters. However, Dai Zhanpeng’s ignorance displeased him.
Dai Zhanpeng’s heart skipped violently; Ye Fan’s casual glance made his hair stand on end, like being stared down by a beast.
"Illusion, it must be an illusion." Dai Zhanpeng comforted himself like this, dispersing his inner unease.
"Slap his face." Ye Fan instructed indifferently.
"Yes!" The guards answered eagerly. When Dai Zhanpeng spoke out disrespectfully, the guards wanted to make a move. Daring to curse at Ye Fan, they could not allow it. Upon hearing Ye Fan’s command, the Guard Captain immediately took action.
"Do you dare, do you know who I am? You dare to hit me, are you rebelling?" Dai Zhanpeng yelled furiously.
With a "Pa!" sound, a loud smack of flesh rang out.
The Guard Captain gave Dai Zhanpeng’s face a slap right away.
Dai Zhanpeng’s expression distorted, his face scorching, shamed beyond death. His mouth was slack, and his whole body felt numb.
He was furious to the extreme, but the last bit of reason remained, knowing that beneath eaves, one has to bow. Arguing stubbornly now only brought losses, hence he retained all his dissatisfaction within and did not express it.
