Chapter 713: Chapter 716: Such a Big Scene

"Ratatatatata..."

The violent bullets rained down like a thunderstorm around Yang Chen, but an invisible shield blocked all of them. The metal projectiles, like dejected children, fell softly to the ground. Soon, there was a pile of spent bullets at Yang Chen's feet.

The Sam soldiers were dumbfounded. After exhausting their ammunition, they realized the absurdity of the situation. A dark, unsettling emotion crept into their hearts, forcing them to retreat.

Yang Chen smiled warmly and greeted them amicably, "Good evening, night shifts can be tough. Too bad I didn't bring any snacks; otherwise, I'd offer you some of my grilled lamb skewers. I'm quite good at it."

The soldiers' minds went blank. Lamb skewers? They had no such thing in the United States.

The military base's alarms blared sharply, and all the searchlights flicked on. Soldiers from every corner of the base converged on the spot.

This was precisely the effect Yang Chen desired. Asking the officers for someone would take too long; triggering the alarms would naturally bring out the commander.

Indeed, as soon as the base discovered the intruder, they surrounded Yang Chen in the center.

Hundreds of gun barrels were aimed at him. The soldiers, some still half-dressed, looked gravely serious. They had just witnessed the man unaffected by the bullet storm and were filled with dread.

Yang Chen glanced around and asked in an American accent, "Where's your commander? I'm not here to fight; I have some business to discuss."

After a moment, a rough voice emerged from behind the soldier lines, "Sir, your actions have angered the Sam navy. I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation."

A tall, middle-aged white man in an officer's uniform stepped forward. The two aides behind him clearly didn't want him to appear, given the "extraordinary" nature of the adversary.

Yang Chen glanced at the officer's rank and smiled, "Lieutenant Colonel?"

"You can call me Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy," the officer said sternly. "I'm in charge of this military base. What business do you have?"

"I need An Zaihuan. I know he's here. Bringing him back to Yanxia is my only purpose," Yang Chen stated directly.

"So, are you with the Yanxia military?" Jimmy asked.

Yang Chen shook his head, "I'm just myself. I have a personal issue to settle with An Zaihuan. I don't want to waste time discussing this with you."

Jimmy frowned, "I'm surprised you know this information, but Mr. An is an important guest of ours. He is under our protection, and we will not let him be harmed."

"I'm not giving you a choice. I'm asking for him to avoid killing you all, as I'm not your enemy," Yang Chen said.

Jimmy retorted angrily, "Sir, you seem to underestimate the pride of the Sam navy! You may be powerful, but not enough to make us surrender!"

Yang Chen sighed lightly, "So you won't hand him over?"

"Soldiers, show him our answer!" Jimmy shouted.

The Sam navy soldiers yelled in unison, "Defend honor to the death!"

Jimmy shouted in alarm, his expression turning obsequious. He glared at the two soldiers behind him, "Go, bring An Zaihuan out immediately!"

The soldiers were actually relieved. Clearly, this enemy was beyond their capabilities to handle. They were grateful that their superior had conceded, as they would otherwise be facing death.

In no time, the two soldiers dragged An Zaihuan out of his hiding place. He looked disheveled and bewildered, but upon seeing Yang Chen, his face lit up with joy. "Yang Chen?!" An Zaihuan exclaimed excitedly. "You finally came! Did that girl An Xin send you to find me? You must have a way to save me, right? You're so powerful, surely the Defense Ministry will let me go on your account. I'm safe now, aren't I?"

Yang Chen walked towards him with a cold expression. His icy gaze made An Zaihuan uneasy, as he couldn't understand what was going on.

"I have to say, you really do disgust me. Right now, I don't even have the interest to lecture you," Yang Chen said indifferently.

An Zaihuan's face was filled with confusion, his smile faltering.

Yang Chen shook his head and struck An Zaihuan on the back of the neck, knocking him out cold. Grabbing An Zaihuan by the collar like a piece of luggage, Yang Chen dragged him along and addressed Jimmy, "Alright, despite some unpleasantness, nothing major happened. But as someone living in Yanxia, let me give you a piece of advice: whatever you plan to do at sea is none of my business, but don't disrupt my normal life. Otherwise, your carrier will still end up sinking."

Ignoring the stunned expressions of Jimmy and the other sailors, Yang Chen and the unconscious An Zaihuan vanished from sight.

Jimmy's face turned various shades of blue and white. Gritting his teeth, he ordered his aide, "Contact the Pentagon immediately! Now!"

The naval base was in chaos, but Yang Chen had no reason to worry.

Returning to Zhonghai with An Zaihuan was not troublesome for Yang Chen. Using his true energy to protect An Zaihuan's body during the teleportation prevented him from disintegrating into dust.

Before leaving the Philippine island, Yang Chen remembered something. After a brief consideration, he decided it was necessary to check a few other islands before returning.

Back at the An family residence, about an hour had passed. Yang Pojun, the soldiers, and the An family members were all waiting in the living room.

When Yang Chen suddenly entered and tossed An Zaihuan onto the floor like a dead dog, everyone, including Yang Pojun, was stunned.

"Big brother?!"

"Still calling him big brother?! He's nothing but a beast!" The An family relatives were in an uproar, incredulous at how Yang Chen had managed to do this.

Yang Pojun, seated at the dining table, drinking tea prepared by An Xin, was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Yang Chen to return so quickly with An Zaihuan.

"I've brought him. Take him away. The An family's issues are settled," Yang Chen said casually.

Yang Pojun snorted coldly and motioned for the soldiers to take An Zaihuan back to the vehicle. Standing up, he said, "I'm only responsible for capturing him. Everything else is none of my concern." With that, he led his guards out without even a farewell.

The An family members and servants breathed a sigh of relief. They were saved, and their gazes towards Yang Chen were filled with gratitude and reverence.

An Xin, seeing her unconscious father being dragged away, felt a complex mix of emotions—sorrow, hatred, bitterness, and pity. She stood there struggling for a while before finally biting her lip and walking over to Yang Chen, forcing a smile. "Did you encounter any trouble? Are you hurt?"

Despite everything, An Zaihuan was still her only biological father. Seeing An Xin trying to hide her pain, Yang Chen felt a pang of heartache. He gently patted her face and smiled. "No injuries, but I did run into some trouble on the way back. It made me take quite a detour."
