Standing on the Zhenyuan Tavern's roof, Ye Zifeng, Niu Mang, and Xue Ming lined up one by one, supporting themselves on the roof's railing. Each of their mouths held a smoke ring in their mouths, as they lowered their heads to take a bird's eye view of the completely changed Zhong Hai, their hearts filled with countless emotions.
Turning his head silently, Ye Zifeng's gaze swept across Xue Ming and her. Suddenly, a sorrowful tone of voice came out of his mouth.
"How have you all been for the past three years? "Is there any contact with anyone else?"
Xue Ming and Niu Mang were suddenly speechless.
In the end, Niu Mang took the lead and said: "Leader, it's not like you don't know, when we left the team that year, we signed a secret agreement, we could not contact the other members, so we did not contact them."
Actually, Ye Zifeng knew about this so called secret agreement. Back then, when the dragon soul disintegrated, in order to prevent the international mercenary group from bribing the members of the dragon soul to retire, the higher-ups set such strict rules. After all, the Nine Dragon Head s of the Dragon Soul were not simple people. As long as any one of them walked out, they would not need three to five years to nurture an extremely strong team.
So, regardless of whether Niu Mang and the others were willing or not, they did not only accept this secret agreement, they also had to accept the eyes that were placed beside them by the Secret Service Bureau. This was a very sad and helpless matter.
After exhaling a mouthful of smoke, Niu Mang continued to wave his hands and pretended to be relaxed: "Anyway, with the pension above, I won't starve to death. "So I haven't left my hometown for the past three years. I just opened a butcher's shop in the hometown's town. It's also good to be a butcher!"
"Where's Xue Ming? What have you been doing these past three years? " Ye Zifeng turned his head and asked Xue Ming who was at the other side.
Xue Ming's situation seemed to be slightly better than Niu Mang's. After all, even if he retired, he would still be a rich second generation who did not need to worry about food and drinks.
"What can I do? Since I left the team, I've been working in my dad's group, and I'm a CEO on a fake. For the past three years, I've been working hard at the company. Other than not letting them leave the country, everything else will go to waste! "
Although Xue Ming's words were spoken carelessly, Ye Zifeng could clearly hear the resentment and anger within them.
Smoking bitter smoke, Ye Zifeng's eyes drooped down. He suddenly muttered: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault as the captain, it's all useless. If I had been able to find some clues, they wouldn't have died and the Dragon Soul wouldn't have dissolved. It's all because of my incompetence as the captain … "
As he spoke, tears fell from the corner of Ye Zifeng's eyes. It is said that men do not easily cry, but only to the point of sadness. Ye Zifeng had never cried. He had never cried when he drank blood in the bitter cold lands of the far north, but when he thought of the things that had happened three years ago, Ye Zifeng's tears were more painful than anyone else's.
Hearing Ye Zifeng's words, both Niu Mang and Xue Ming choked with sobs.
After all, the nine Dragon Head s of the Dragon Soul Realm only spent five years of time with each other. Once that feeling exploded, it would be like a dead end in the Yangtze River, uncontrollable.
Niu Mang patted Ye Zifeng's back lightly and comforted him: "Captain, that matter actually isn't your fault. It's all that darn Fatty Luo's fault."
"That's right, Captain. If you want to blame something, blame it on that damned fatty. Hmph!" If it wasn't for the fact that a traitor had appeared in Fatty's team, how could our concealed identity be exposed? Furthermore, that useless fatty has spent three years and can't even pull out a nail. He's simply a piece of trash. " Xue Ming also said with indignation.
Seeing that Niu Mang and his group were extremely agitated, and were pointing their spears at the Fatty Luo, Ye Zifeng said, "This cannot be blamed on him. You should know what kind of place the Fatty Luo is in charge of. I even suspect now that what happened three years ago was not a coincidence at all, as he was actually a trap set up to target our Dragon Soul. If that's the case, then this is not just a matter of nails, but more and more distant matters. You should understand the logic behind this! "
Back then, Niu Mang and Xue Ming naturally had their doubts about what Ye Zifeng had said, but those things were kept a secret, so they did not dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that Niu Mang and Xue Ming were both silent, Ye Zifeng turned and smiled, and said: "This time you two appeared in Zhong Hai at the same time, was it Fatty Luo who contacted you two?"
First, Xue Ming gave a cold laugh, "Fatty Luo? Hmph, he still doesn't have that much face! "
However, Niu Mang carefully glanced at Ye Zifeng and said, "Captain, the one who contacted us was not Fatty Luo, but, rather, Elder Ye!"
Ye Zifeng nodded his head, it was as if Niu Mang's words were already within his expectations: "Then does the old man have any reason for you to come to Zhong Hai before?"
Xue Ming and Niu Mang both shook their heads.
However, Xue Ming took over Ye Zifeng's words and continued: "Elder Ye only told us over the phone that you are alone in Zhong Hai and that you need our support. As for the rest, he did not say anything. However, from what I heard from Elder Ye, I guessed that the reason he summoned us here this time should be due to the explosion three years ago. "
Ye Zifeng gently threw the tip of his cigarette on the ground, his eyes shining with a golden light: "I think so too."
"Captain, even you don't know the exact plan of this operation?" Xue Ming looked curiously at Ye Zifeng, he could not believe what he saw.
As for Ye Zifeng, he shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific plan for this operation, but according to my guess, this operation was privately planned by the old man and Fatty Luo. The reason they didn't tell us was because they were afraid that they would see it with their own eyes."
Xue Ming and Niu Mang both nodded in deep agreement with Ye Zifeng's deduction.
"Captain, what should we do next?" Niu Mang was straightforward, and asked bluntly.
Ye Zifeng on the other hand, had a cold smile on his face: "What do we do? What you need to do now is to first contact that brat Feng Yang, and then keep an eye on that person with the Tulip Family from Yinglun! "
"Situ Rannyue?" Xue Ming immediately reacted and looked at Ye Zifeng strangely: "Captain, are you suspecting that Situ Rannyue has something to do with what happened three years ago?"
Ye Zifeng waved his hand. "No, I didn't say that. It's just that the fact that British Tulip Family has been inserted into Zhong Hai at this time makes me a little uneasy. You should all know in your hearts what kind of business Tulip Family is used to buy and sell. Furthermore, with the presence of Number Two on the Black Ranking's expert Situ Rannyue, I'm afraid that their trip to Zhong Hai is not a small one! "
Hearing Ye Zifeng's words, Xue Ming felt like he was going to explode. His eyes were wide open and his face was filled with disbelief: "What? Number Two on the Black Ranking, Situ Rannyue? Captain, you mean, you mean that girl from Situ Family is, is, is, is Feng Wu and Feng Wu Tuo? "
Ye Zifeng turned to look at Xue Ming, and laughed wickedly: "What, you don't know? I thought you knew? If you didn't know that she was a Phoenix Dancing Tulip, how could you be so afraid of her? "
Xue Ming was dazed for a moment, then his heart tensed up as he said: "Who, who said I'm afraid of her? There's nothing, there's simply nothing!"
However, Xue Ming's voice was getting softer and softer, to the point that even he himself was starting to lose confidence in his words.
