“It is indeed not peaceful. It is too close to the border, and criminals cross the border from time to time.” Liu Xuesong shook his head and said, “Moreover, the people here are fierce, and many of the indigenous people carry firearms.”
"In addition, there are several countries bordering each other. Last time, one of our patrol teams encountered experts from abroad. Several members of the platoon died and several were injured."
"Has it gotten this chaotic here?" Ye Xingchen frowned slightly.
China has relatively good public security, but the border is different. Along the border stretching for thousands of kilometers, the defending troops have to face military conflicts from the other side.
Drug traffickers, illegal immigrants crossing the border, and criminals crossing the border from within the country.
"It's alright, everything is within our control." Liu Xuesong smiled and said, "After all, this is the border, and some things are unavoidable."
"Then you'd better be careful here. Find an opportunity to be transferred back to another military region," Ye Xingchen said.
“My father’s dying wish was for me to guard this place in his place until Jinluo City falls and your father’s great revenge is achieved,” Liu Xuesong said. “If you succeed this time, then I will naturally not have to guard this place anymore.”
"Haha, don't worry, I'm sure I can succeed in getting you transferred out of this place and so you can return to Beijing to reunite with your family." Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for the day you succeed. This cup of tea is a toast to you, in place of wine." Liu Xuesong raised his cup and gestured to Ye Xingchen from afar.
“Okay, I’ll be staying in Xuancheng these days. If you encounter any problems there that you can’t solve, feel free to contact me,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Alright, bottoms up." Liu Xuesong nodded, and toasted Ye Xingchen with tea instead of wine.
The car was unusable, but fortunately, there were still a few motorcycles parked outside the repair shop that hadn't been trampled. After chatting with Liu Xuesong for a while, Ye Xingchen decided to leave.
Liu Xuesong led his team to continue patrolling, while Ye Xingchen rode a motorcycle towards the city.
Around noon, we finally arrived at the market.
As a city located right next to the southwestern border, it was destined from the beginning to be an extraordinary place.
This place is not big, it can be considered a small city, but it is an isolated city, and the nearest city, Yun City, is hundreds of kilometers away.
Its unique geographical location has made this place extraordinary. Although it is not a complete lawless zone, some conventional laws no longer apply here.
As a result, entertainment venues and casinos have sprung up everywhere, attracting many out-of-town business owners who come here to spend lavishly and indulge in a life of luxury and debauchery.
When Ye Xingchen arrived in Xuan City, he parked his motorcycle on the side of the road and went straight into a noodle shop.
It was midday, and I was hungry. I ate something before contacting Wu Jian, Meng Lao's confidant, who was currently running some businesses in Xuancheng.
The entire city of Xuan is now under the control of a man named Liu Kun. This guy is a member of Jin Xiang's group and has secretly received support from Jin Luocheng. He is practically a local tyrant in this place.
Ye Xingchen ordered a bowl of local specialty noodles and snacks and picked up his chopsticks.
The taste is alright, but it contains a bit of sleeping potion, which slightly affects the flavor.
However, this dosage of medicine was nothing to Ye Xingchen; when he was hungry, he didn't care about such small details when eating.
Ye Xingchen was a little curious. He had just arrived in Xuancheng and didn't know anyone. Which hero had he offended? That he would have to be drugged to eat a meal?
Ye Xingchen finished the bowl of noodles and several side dishes cleanly, then put down his chopsticks. Before he could even speak, a group of people had already rushed over.
"Brother Wolf, that's him." The shop owner pointed at Ye Xingchen: "The car he's driving belongs to Brother Wei. I can't get in touch with him now."
"Which bearded Xinjiang boss owns this car?" Ye Xingchen suddenly realized that the boss who was taken away was connected to these people.
Come to think of it, anyone who dares to make a living in the market is definitely not an ordinary person, and they certainly wouldn't come to the market alone; they would come in large groups.
The boss was taken away by Liu Xuesong, and the repair shop has been razed to the ground. How can he contact anyone now? No way.
“That’s right, that’s Brother Wei’s car. Kid, what are you doing here? Why are you driving Brother Wei’s motorcycle? Where are they?” The man with the slicked-back hair, named Xiao Lang, stepped forward and stared at Ye Xingchen as he asked.
"This matter is indeed a bit complicated to explain," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "How about this, I'll contact someone to come over and have him explain it to you?"
Ye Xingchen wanted to contact Wu Jian, after all, he was one of Meng Lao's men and had some small casino business in Xuan City, so he must have some influence in the local area.
Since I'm new here, I try to avoid conflict as much as possible.
But that's just how troublesome the protagonist is; no matter where he goes, there are always idiots who come to bother him.
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Little Wolf stared coldly at Ye Xingchen: "Kid, who exactly are you? Are you from out of town? What are you doing in Xuancheng?"
"How did you know I'm from out of town?" Ye Xingchen glanced at the little wolf.
"What a joke! Xuancheng is only so big. Do you think I don't know how many people from other places come here?" Little Wolf sneered. "You'd better behave yourself. Answer whatever I ask you. If you can't answer, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Now that you mention it, I'm still a little scared." Ye Xingchen shook his head, stood up and said, "Let me put it this way, I originally drove to Xuan City to find someone, but my car got a flat tire halfway there."
"You guys... Wei, right? He owns a car repair shop, so I went there to get my car fixed."
"But he said it would cost 5,000 to repair the tire, plus 8,000 for labor, which I accepted. But then he said my window was cracked and needed repair, and when I said it didn't need repair, he smashed my window..."
"Can you fucking shut up? Get to the point, where is Brother Wei?" Little Wolf's brows furrowed tightly. He could tell that Ye Xingchen was deliberately keeping him in suspense.
"They were taken away," Ye Xingchen replied helplessly.
"Who took them away? What's your relationship with those people?" the little wolf asked.
"They were taken away by a bunch of soldiers." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Those soldiers were really fierce, driving tanks and setting up cannons..."
"If you keep talking nonsense to me, I'll kill you right now." Little Wolf was furious. Was Ye Xingchen treating him like a fool?
"Killing me? You probably can't do it." Ye Xingchen's smile gradually disappeared: "With just the few of you, I'm afraid you can't do anything to me."
"Heh, really?" Little Wolf laughed, staring at Ye Xingchen and saying fiercely, "Don't you feel dizzy and lightheaded, and your palms are sweating?"
