Chapter 331: In a Pickle (Part one)

Hearing Xu Chengs words, Lan Ting just smiled. Back then, your father said that too, but hes dead. Madam said that even if I have to tie you up, I have to send you out of the country.

Its useless. Xu Cheng bitterly laughed, and he tossed his military ID onto the desk. I became a soldier as well because I inherited my fathers will. He doesnt want to leave his home country, and neither do I. My choice is the same as my father. However, its not for that woman, but for my father. I wont let the man that killed my father get away with it!

Lan Ting looked at Xu Cheng for a long time. She nodded. Child, Im very pleased to see the courage in you. Just for that, you are worthy of being called Young Master by me. But the Ryong Family is far more complicated than you think it is.

Its not simple. Xu Cheng looked up at Lan Ting and said, In the Ye Family, just a lower-level person like you could drive the Li Family to yield, its clear how powerful the middle and upper-class in the Ye Family are. Since the Ryong Familys on par with the Ye Family, their power and influence wouldnt be much worse. My dads a pretty perfect guy, but he just had one flaw, his steel balls were too big. As his son, I obviously have that in my genes too. So, if you are going to try and talk me out of it, you can save yourself some time.

Lan Ting nodded. Since you have already decided, I wont say anymore. If you are ever in danger, you can give me a call. I will help you make arrangements and send you abroad. I will get going now. If you get into any trouble, you can give me a call too.

Then, Lan Ting stood up and walked to the door.

When she opened the door, Xu Chengs voice sounded behind her. That woman, can I see her?

Lan Ting sighed. You cant. She cant get out at all. Although the Old Master really cherishes her and wont kill her, he wont let her out to bring shame to the Ye Familys face. Her relationship with your father has been a thorn in the eyes of both Ye and Ryong families. So, no one can let her out. If you think Im lying to you, thats fine. But just remember, no parent in this world would harm their own child.

Xu Cheng immediately asked, Then can you tell me where the Ye Family is?

Lan Tings body shook slightly. Its best that you dont know where it is. There are too many martial art masters, a stranger like you probably wouldnt be able to come out alive after trespassing. Child, just let the past stay in the past, some things cant be changed by manpower. Your mother was so loved by the Old Master, yet that didnt change anything, so a little boy like you wont be able to affect the outcome at all. While the Ryong Family didnt notice you, you should keep your disguise and continue living on. In the future when you get married and have kids, you can send us photos and I will show it to Madam. This might be the best ending.

Then, Lan Ting left.

That night, Xu Cheng was sleepless.

The next morning, when he went for a morning jog, he saw the old man at the park. In fact, last night, Bei Shan already reported to the old man about Lan Ting finding Xu Cheng.

The old man said to Bei Shan, This is the reason the five elders were unwilling to accept Xu Cheng into the Dragon Division.

Bei Shan frowned. Then should we remind Junior Brother to not get involved in this grudge?

The old man shook his head. The arranged marriage between the Ye and Ryong Family was known by everyone in Yanjing. Ryong Xiao definitely wouldnt forget about this event that lost him face big time. If he were to find out that those two had a son who was still alive, he would definitely kill him! This isnt something Xu Cheng can decide, and its useless if you remind him.
