Guard Zone.

Xiaoliu walked up to Old Zhuo and said, "Mr. Yang went to the martyr cemetery to pay respects to Mr. Zhuo."

Old Zhuo nodded slightly and sighed, "He's thoughtful."

At this moment, Qin Zhiyuan came over with a chessboard, placed it on the table and said, "Old Zhuo, I was pondering a question yesterday."

Old Zhuo took the chess pieces and began setting them up, casually asking, "What were you thinking about?"

Qin Zhiyuan slowly said, "Yesterday, Xiaochen asked me about his parents' names; he never asked me about such things before."

Old Zhuo paused, smiled and said, "Now he wants to ask, huh? He's grown older, matured, should know some things by now, I guess he's ready to handle it."

"No, no, no!" Knowing Yang Chen well, Qin Zhiyuan was sure it wasn't like that, "He would never ask before, and if things went as expected, I think he would never bring it up in his life!"

Old Zhuo raised an eyebrow, "You know him that well?"

Qin Zhiyuan exclaimed, "I raised him; if I don't know him, who would?"

"Move the pawn, it's your turn!" Old Zhuo moved a pawn forward.

"Cannon!" Qin Zhiyuan said, "So, when Xiaochen brought it up yesterday, I got a bit worried."

Old Zhuo laughed, "He's not a kid anymore, has more skills than us, no need to worry too much."

Qin Zhiyuan shook his head, still appearing somewhat concerned.

"I was thinking all day yesterday, do you think... back then, Xiaoyang and Xiaoguo, after all these years, could they still be alive?" Qin Zhiyuan asked.

Old Zhuo frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Hard to say, you know how ruthless those people were back then. I'd advise you not to discuss this too much with Xiaochen, lest he finds something out and gets hurt. Besides, you know his relationship with the current old chief... if any major conflict arises, it benefits no one. And Xiaochen is capable; if he really wants to do something, we can't stop him."

Qin Zhiyuan fell silent, understanding Old Zhuo's meaning, which wasn't what he wanted to see either.

Qin Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Let's play, let's play! Enough talk about other things." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

...

Martyr Cemetery.

Yang Chen stayed there for over two hours, seemingly with endless things to say.

The reason he came down was because he received a phone call.

Immediately, Yang Chen descended the mountain, his face grim, saying to Sun Yue, "Immediately, return to Jin Chen!"

Sun Yue asked, puzzled, "Return now?"

Yang Chen got straight into the car.

Sun Yue was confused, "What's happening that we're in such a hurry to return?"

Yang Chen glanced at him coldly, "You're responsible for the lab's information security, and you haven't heard anything yet?"

Just as he finished speaking, information came through Sun Yue's hidden earpiece.

Upon hearing this information, Sun Yue's face changed dramatically.

Immediately, she didn't say another word, started the car, and floored the pedal, the strong pushback sensation hitting instantly.

They refueled at the highway entrance, and Sun Yue drove at full speed, speeding all the way.

Because the situation was urgent, they had little time.

By a little after four in the afternoon, they reached Jin Chen.

Traffic in Jin Chen was heavy.

Even though Sun Yue used the siren and took the special lane, it was six o'clock by the time they got to Lab No. 3.

Outside the lab, two groups of people were standing, at an impasse.

Seeing this, Yang Chen immediately opened the door and got out of the car.

Immediately someone came up to block the two: "This is a restricted area of the lab, no entry for unauthorized persons!"

Yang Chen glanced at him coldly and said, "Get out of the way!"

The person raised an eyebrow, immediately pointing a black gun barrel at Yang Chen, and said coldly, "Leave immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Chen's eagle eyes as he stared at the man and said, "Get out of my way immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, several people immediately came over and surrounded Yang Chen.

Seeing this, Sun Yue immediately stepped forward and said, "What are you doing! Have you turned against us?"

With Sun Yue's shout, Yang Chen moved!

He suddenly made a move, grabbing the man's gun, and yanked it.

Because the strap was still on it, the whole person was yanked over by Yang Chen.

Yang Chen grabbed him and directly swung him, smashing the surrounding people to the ground.

The people nearby, seeing this, immediately raised their guns to aim at Yang Chen.

Sun Yue shouted, "Stop! Don't shoot! We're all on the same side!"

She was quite panicked since with so many guns aimed, if shooting started, there would be no avoiding becoming riddled with bullets!

Yang Chen snorted coldly, showing no fear at all.

At this moment, someone inside seemed to hear the commotion outside.

The big leader came out, saw this, was startled, and quickly shouted, "Stop! Everyone stop!"

These people were with the big leader, and hearing his command, they all put their guns away.

The big leader walked over, and those who were knocked down by Yang Chen stood up.

The big leader immediately reprimanded, "Didn't I tell you not to act without permission? How did you end up clashing with Mr. Yang!"

Several of them looked frustrated, and the leader of them muttered quietly, "He started it first..."

"Shut up!" The big leader scolded, "Without my command, no one can act! Go back and receive your punishment!"

"Yes!" Although unwilling, the big leader had spoken, so he had to agree.

The big leader looked at Yang Chen and immediately smiled, "Why are you back? Weren't you going to Ningchuan?"

Yang Chen snorted coldly, said impatiently, "If I didn't come back, were you planning on taking over the lab?"

"Well..." The big leader looked awkward, "Not really... primarily, the stuff inside..."

"The stuff inside is mine!" Yang Chen glared at the big leader, snorted coldly, and strode inside.

The big leader looked a bit embarrassed, glanced at Yang Chen's back, pondered for a moment, and then said to the others, "Guard this place well, don't let anyone in!"

"Yes!"

They responded, but in their hearts, they were very puzzled and surprised at Yang Chen's identity.

Daring to loudly reprimand the big leader, probably not even the old chief would dare this, right?

What is this young man's identity, they wondered, having never heard of it before?

The person from earlier was also feeling some lingering fear, realizing that he might have provoked a very important figure.

Yang Chen walked into Lab No. 3 and saw Ye Liangcai waiting at the door.

Seeing him, Yang Chen nodded slightly and called, "Uncle Ye."

Ye Liangcai said to Yang Chen, "You finally came back. This Old Ji insists on taking away the stuff inside for the Guard to experiment on! I said Night Fire's condition isn't sorted out yet. If you take the original away, what about Night Fire?"

Yang Chen frowned slightly, looked at the big leader.

The big leader quickly explained, "I thought leaving such things here for research was a bit unsafe, afraid some opportunists might find out and exploit it, so I thought of relocating it to a secure place for further study. But rest assured, I'll employ the best experts for the research, ensuring results, and curing Night Fire's condition!"
