My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 835 - 834: Where Is Ye Xin? (2/3)

"But... he is the old chief!" Master Ye said with concern.

"So what?" Yang Chen replied coldly, "Flame Country is no longer in need of an emperor!"

Master Ye was stunned by his words and lowered his head, deep in thought for a while.

Although they had set this concept in the past, the old generation still unconsciously believed in one person's rule over everything in their minds.

Now it seemed that their so-called changes were not real changes.

At this moment, Ye Liangcai hurried back and asked, "Xiaochen, I ask you, what is Ye Xin's situation now?"

Yang Chen sighed and said in a deep voice, "Right now, I'm not sure because when I woke up, I was on a deserted island and couldn't find them at all."

"What about Ye Xin?" Ye Liangcai pressed further, "Wasn't she with you at the time? Could she have been pushed to the island too?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "No..."

"How could she not be there? Weren't you together? You can't be too far apart! Did you search the entire island?" Ye Liangcai inquired further.

"I..."

"No way! I'll immediately send someone to that island to take a look!" Ye Liangcai insisted urgently.

"Liangcai!" Master Ye reprimanded, "What are you doing? Sit down!"

"Dad, Xiaoxin..." Ye Liangcai said anxiously.

"I told you to sit down!" Master Ye glared at Ye Liangcai and said in a deep voice.

Ye Liangcai gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and sat down, trying to keep his composure.

Master Ye said, "What are you so anxious about? Isn't Xiaoxin someone else's wife, Xiaochen's wife? Wouldn't he be more anxious than you? Listen to Xiaochen and find out what happened first!"

Only then did Ye Liangcai calm down and looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded to Master Ye and slowly said, "This matter needs to be explained from the beginning. When the old chief contacted me for this mission, I knew there was a high possibility of danger, so I didn't agree to let Ye Xin go with me. At that time, we argued, and Ye Xin just left. I thought it was good, as this way I could carry out the mission with peace of mind without getting her involved."

Ye Liangcai and Master Ye were slightly moved.

They knew that Yang Chen realized the mission was life-threatening from the start, with a high likelihood, but he still took it on and let Ye Xin leave...

This was truly commendable.

"The situation was urgent back then, and we left the very day. Later, under the old chief's arrangements, we secretly headed for a small island and boarded a ship. To prevent being tracked, we dismantled all the positioning equipment on board. Then, following our planned map, we sailed to find a safe place to attack the enemy. However, I didn't expect the first person to board our ship was Ye Xin!"

"Ye Xin?" Master Ye was a bit surprised, but he instantly understood, "Are you saying Ye Xin didn't leave out of spite but to investigate information? Right?"

"That's right!" Yang Chen nodded, "After she got the intel, she hid nearby, waiting for us to set sail, and then boarded the ship."

"Why didn't you retreat then?" Ye Liangcai asked.

Yang Chen shook his head, "At first, we wanted to retreat, but Ye Xin was very determined and took a gun from one of my men, saying that if we had to leave, she would leave her corpse behind."

Master Ye and Ye Liangcai fell into silence.

This was indeed Ye Xin's character.

After thinking for a moment, Master Ye shouted towards the outside, "Come in!"

A person immediately entered, nodded to Master Ye.

"Go invite Professor Qian over!"

"Yes!"

After the person left, Master Ye said to Yang Chen, "You continue."

Yang Chen nodded, "The situation was urgent, and if we had retreated, we would likely have been detected by enemy radar, making it even more dangerous. So, we chose to fire near the reef area. As I feared, the enemy discovered our ship and launched an attack on us!"

Yang Chen looked at Ye Liangcai, "Uncle Ye, I think you understand the power of the enemy's weapons..."

Ye Liangcai nodded grimly.

Having worked in the Guard for a long time, he certainly knew the power of those weapons.

If hit, there was no chance of escape.

"How did you manage it?" Ye Liangcai asked in confusion.

In this situation, survival seemed impossible.

Yang Chen said, "When I discovered the enemy's attacks on us, I immediately ordered my team to abandon the ship. Almost at the moment of the explosion, we jumped off the ship. But the aftermath of the explosion was still there; Jianfeng and the others had a layer of skin burned off their backs, and the injuries were horrific. When I got on the same boat with Ye Xin, I used my body to shield her. So, I think if I had taken the hit back then, Ye Xin should not have been much harmed. As long as I'm still alive, Ye Xin is definitely not in danger! The angle at the time meant I bore all the attack, so Ye Xin shouldn't be hurt! That's why I'm desperate to find her!"

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ye Liangcai's eyes, "You mean, you shielded Xiao Xin from the attack back then?"

"Yes!" Yang Chen nodded.

"Then it should be fine!" Ye Liangcai looked at Master Ye.

Master Ye's expression also relaxed significantly, yet he still frowned and said, "The situation is still concerning. Even if Xiaochen shielded her, the immense impact isn't negligible. More importantly, if Ye Xin wasn't hurt, why has she not been found after such a long search?"

"I suspect Ye Xin may have made landfall somewhere but hasn't been able to contact the outside world yet." Yang Chen said solemnly.

Master Ye stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a sea chart, and spread it on the table.

At a glance, Yang Chen recognized it as a detailed maritime chart, with Guard areas and confidential islands clearly marked.

"Right here!" Yang Chen pointed to an area, "Where we were attacked! Here's the enemy's location, this is where we woke up, forming a line. At that time, the sea wind and current should have been directed this way."

"So the search area should spread outward in a fan shape from here," Ye Liangcai said.

"That's correct, but..." Yang Chen knew that so many search teams must have already scoured the surrounding area, yet they haven't found anyone.

This was very strange, and Yang Chen had been puzzled, hence he wanted to see for himself what was going on.

"Professor Qian is here," someone said from outside.

Master Ye looked up and said, "Quick, let Professor Qian in!"

Yang Chen also looked outside and saw an elderly man wearing a white coat and black-framed glasses walk in.

Professor Qian adjusted his glasses, glanced at Yang Chen, and immediately asked, "Yang Chen! Where's Xiao Xin?"

"This is..." Yang Chen had never met Professor Qian.
