Military headquarters, order of battle

General's Office

In front of Ye Ran was still that familiar large tea mug, steaming hot.

Across from him, Ye Shaoguo symbolically skimmed the tea leaves off the surface of the water with the lid of his teacup.

He took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh.

"This tea was grown in our future city this year. It's green, pollution-free, and doesn't use any technology. Why don't you give it a try?"

Then, Ye Shaoguo gestured for Ye Ran to take a sip.

Ye Ran picked up the teacup.

Ye Shaoguo looked at Ran, who was drinking tea, and smiled with narrowed eyes:

"Ye Ran, I really owe you a lot. Thanks to your reminder, after these days of training, I can clearly feel that my mind is much more relaxed."

Hearing Ye Shaoguo say this, Ye Ran nodded:

"Being more comfortable would be ideal, but that's only a temporary solution. Ultimately, to truly cure it, we need to find an opportunity to refine our blood again..."

"But such opportunities are truly rare and hard to come by..."

Hearing Ye Ran say this, Ye Shaoguo nodded seriously, then waved his hand casually:

"Good people are always blessed by heaven. I've already survived a near-death experience once, and this good fortune is yet to come! Who knows when I'll encounter it?"

Then, he looked at Ye Ran, his eyes full of affection.

After all, this is a future star who is both capable and dedicated to his career.

The key point is still the major general in his own military headquarters.

Who wouldn't be happy to see a junior like this?

Ye Shaoguo then joked with Ye Ran:

"When did Major General Ye find the leisure to come and inspect my place?"

After hearing this, Ye Ran put down his teacup and looked at Ye Shaoguo helplessly, saying:

"General Ye, please don't make fun of me. How could I be qualified to inspect you? I just missed our military headquarters and came to visit."

Upon hearing Ye Ran's words, Ye Shaoguo immediately burst into laughter:

"Great idea!! Great idea!! No problem, just keep thinking like this every day. Ye Ran Military Headquarters is your home. Don't go back to that Magic and Martial Arts Academy anymore!!"

Clearly, Ye Shaoguo was very satisfied, even pleased, with Ye Ran's answer.

He desperately wanted Ye Ran to only acknowledge their military headquarters from now on.

As Ye Shaoguo spoke, he immediately took Ye Ran's hand:

"Come on, I'll tell the mess hall to bring all the generals who are still resting at headquarters to have a good drink with you today!!"

Upon hearing that Ye Shaoguo was going to take him out for a big drinking session,

Ye Ran shivered as if in response to a stress reaction, and awkwardly grabbed Ye Shaoguo's hand, saying:

"Let's skip the drinking, I just came to take a look around the military headquarters and see some old friends..."

"I see..."

Hearing Ye Ran say that, Ye Shaoguo reluctantly let go of her hand.

"By the way, General Ye, what happened to General Yang in the end?" To prevent Ye Shaoguo from continuing down this path, Ye Ran quickly changed the subject, inquiring about the current situation of Yang Wanliu, the former head of the logistics department.

"Him..." Ye Shaoguo said, recalling the events, upon hearing Ye Ran's question.

"The military has already investigated, and this matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end. At most, it only involved concealing the extent of his master's injuries..."

At this point, Ye Shaoguo shook his head irritably, his mood seemingly dampened.

"But for some reason, this guy, who was quite shrewd, suddenly became a bit stubborn. After this incident, he locked himself in jail."

"From then on, Yang Wanliu stopped eating and drinking, his body grew weaker and weaker, and he kept muttering that he was a heinous criminal who had brought misery to the common people..."

Ye Ran was stunned as she listened to Ye Shaoguo's story.

For a moment I didn't know what to say, so I could only reply blankly:

"This...didn't you ask a doctor to take a look at General Yang?"

Hearing this, Ye Shaoguo awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth.

She even subconsciously avoided Ye Ran's gaze, stammering as she answered:

"We've called, we've called the doctor..."

Looking at Ye Shaoguo's expression, Ye Ran had a bad feeling.

That expression... could it be...?

Did the combat order do anything detrimental to Yang Wanli in order to achieve absolute dominance...?

But General Ye couldn't possibly be that kind of person, could he?

Ye Ran was somewhat confused; logically, she shouldn't have continued to ask questions at this point.

But after all, he had inherited General Yin's power.

In a sense, he and Yang Wanliu were still fellow disciples.

Ye Ran continued to press on in a deep voice:

"General Ye, after seeing the doctor, is General Yang alright??"

Seeing Ye Ran's persistent questioning, Ye Shaoguo sighed.

He said somewhat awkwardly:

"The military hired many doctors for Yang Wanliu, but all of them were to no avail and could not solve Yang Wanliu's problem at all."

"So, as a last resort, I asked Dr. House to take a look at Yang Wanliu..."

Ye Shaoguo stopped abruptly at this point.

Ye Ran asked curiously, "And then what? General Yang won't...?"

"No, he's fully recovered. He ate three pigs the very day he saw Dr. House..."

"This...this is great! I never thought Dr. House could treat mental illnesses."

"Uh..." Ye Shaoguo looked at Ye Ran somewhat awkwardly.

He continued, "But the next day, Yang Wanliu told me that he wanted to resign, saying he had seen through everything and decided to become a monk..."

"This..." Listening to this convoluted and bizarre medical record of Yang Wanliu,

Ye Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

As expected of you, Dr. House.

With one move, he rendered the cripple mute...

Then, he looked at Ye Shaoguo and asked:

"So... you let General Yang go??"

Ye Shaoguo said helplessly:

"Yang Wanliu is at least a national-level killer... If he wants to leave, can I stop him? I've already put House in solitary confinement for this matter. Don't worry, I'll never let him see other patients so casually again..."

Then he said to Ye Ran:

"Ye Ran, I was too embarrassed to bring this up until you said it. If you happen to run into Yang Wanliu at any temple next time, please give him a piece of your mind and tell him to come back as soon as possible..."

"I really can't handle that mess of logistical accounts..."

"Uh..." Ye Ran felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Ye Shaoguo's words.

He's a big shot who's capable of slaughtering a nation.

You can't even get me to come back, and you want me to go...?

Benbo'erba is beating up Sun Wukong...

"I'll try my best..."
