My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife-Chapter 908 - 907: Age Is Not a Problem (2/2)

Yang Chen looked at Zou Guozhong, let out a cold snort, and said calmly, "Then let me ask you, who showed me respect just now?"

Zou Guozhong's face turned pale, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

If it weren't for Yang Chen displaying such formidable strength, Zou Guozhong probably wouldn't have even spoken.

Zou Jingwen still seemed a bit unconvinced, glaring at Yang Chen and shouted angrily, "You were clearly the one spying on our martial arts practice first!"

Yang Chen's eagle-like eyes swept towards Zou Jingwen.

Zou Jingwen felt as if Yang Chen's gaze was like a knife, and she involuntarily lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Yang Chen said coldly, "I told you, I was just taking a walk here and happened to see you practicing martial arts; what, do you think the whole park is yours, and you won't allow others to pass through?"

Zou Jingwen was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yang Chen snorted coldly, glanced at the three of them, and said calmly, "So does that mean now I can also render you three useless?"

"No, please!" Wang Hong was greatly shocked upon hearing this and quickly stood up, blocking the way in front of Zou Guozhong and Zou Jingwen, speaking urgently, "You can't do that! According to the rules of the martial world, spying on others practicing martial arts warrants punishment! Even if you claim it was unintentional, if you weren't inspired by seeing Miss Zou practice, why would you be training here?"

Yang Chen frowned slightly, for what Wang Hong said was true. If he hadn't seen the move with the palm slash displayed by Zou Jingwen, he probably wouldn't have realized so much.

Wang Hong continued, "Do you know who Elder Zou is? This elderly gentleman once led people into battles at the southern borders of the country, and after retiring from the Guard, he threw himself into boxing, personally leading his descendants onto the international stage, granting people from Flame Country a place in the boxing world! All these skills and techniques were accumulated by Elder Zou over the years, traveling far and wide with arduous efforts, and developed through constant experimentation and failures, bought with the blood of the Zou family! That's why they care so deeply about these things, and you cannot just lay hands on Elder Zou like that!"

"Surname Zou?" Yang Chen was slightly taken aback, immediately recalling some information in his mind.

Zou Guozhong, a colonel with a special merit, transferred to sports after retiring from active duty.

At that time, Flame Country was weak, and even more so in sports, without a say.

With the times changing, we achieved some successes; still, in boxing, breakthroughs were hard, not even earning a bronze medal.

Internationally, opinions about Flame Country increased, using the four words that Bruce Lee broke on the board as frequently.

A painful introspection followed, and Zou Guozhong personally led the team, even calling back his son who was doing well in the Guards, to throw himself into boxing.

One could say that Zou Guozhong single-handedly carried the banner of Flame Country boxing.

Meanwhile, his son Zou Daming became the nation's first international Boxing King, establishing Flame Country's status in the international boxing arena!

Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

As a member of the Guard, Yang Chen respected Zou Guozhong for such actions.

However, the current situation left Yang Chen feeling somewhat helpless.

Zou Guozhong was a hero, but after gaining great strength, he became somewhat indifferent.

In that situation, he could have stopped it with one word, yet he chose to turn a blind eye.

This was indifference, the indifference of a strong person towards the weak.

Yang Chen shook his head and said calmly, "Right is right, and wrong is wrong!"

The three people's faces changed dramatically.

But then Yang Chen changed his tone, "In respect for Colonel Zou, let's pretend today's matter... never happened!"

After saying that, Yang Chen turned and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Zou Guozhong hurriedly called out to stop Yang Chen.

Zou Guozhong's identity is absolutely confidential in Flame Country; only snippets can be found online, and very few people know his true identity, let alone his rank.

Yang Chen stopped.

Zou Guozhong looked at Yang Chen's back and asked, "Do you know me?"

"I don't." Yang Chen said calmly.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Zou Guozhong's face.

He thought Yang Chen might be the child of an old friend.

"But I know you." Yang Chen turned around slowly and faced Zou Guozhong, "A hero, a possessor of special merit, who once annihilated five enemy squads and successfully rescued a mid-sized squad's manpower; such deeds are hard to forget!"

Zou Guozhong appeared somewhat emotional.

These are things he hasn't heard anyone mention for a long time.

Because it is classified information, it is impossible for the average person to know, not even Zou Jingwen.

"You... you're... from which department?" Zou Guozhong asked excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled slightly and said to Zou Guozhong, "I'm not from any department; I've retired from the Guard!"

After saying that, Yang Chen saluted Zou Guozhong and turned to leave.

From the bottom of his heart, Yang Chen still deeply respected these older generation heroes.

Watching Yang Chen leave, Zou Guozhong appeared exceptionally emotional.

Zou Jingwen was a bit puzzled and pulled on Zou Guozhong's arm, asking, "Grandpa, you were so amazing before, defeating five enemy subgroups all by yourself?"

"Not at all!" Zou Guozhong said with a helpless smile, "I incidentally rescued one mid-sized squad, but the enemy's five units were just five small teams, five mid-sized units, you think your grandpa is a god!"

Zou Jingwen clung to Zou Guozhong's arm and pouted, "In my eyes, you are a god, far better than that arrogant guy just now!"

"You're wrong!" Zou Guozhong's face turned serious, "I'm afraid I'm not even a match for him!"

Zou Jingwen said incredulously, "How could that be? How old is he? He doesn't look much older than me, does he?"

"Never say that!" Zou Guozhong said solemnly, "Age is never the standard for measuring strength. Look at Second Young Master Yun of the Yun family, a prodigy who broke through to the Innate at eighteen and entered the Martial Arts Realm at twenty-three, an unparalleled presence suppressing the younger generation of other families beyond measure."

Zou Jingwen pouted, "He's Second Young Master Yun, the Yun family has such deep roots for how many years, ordinary people can't compare!"

Zou Guozhong shook his head, "You are wrong again! I said age is never the issue! Second Young Master Yun broke into the Innate at eighteen, while I did it at eighty, and now I've just touched the threshold of the Martial Arts Realm; but at twenty-three, he was already in the Martial Arts Realm; this is talent, far beyond what we can compare! Moreover, that young man's cultivation is definitely more than just the Martial Arts Realm!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zou Jingwen was full of surprise, "Martial Arts Realm?"

She found it hard to believe since Yang Chen looked so young.

Zou Guozhong muttered to himself, "With a mouth like Jiao Long and Qi Force projecting outwards, this likely already reached the Transformation Realm; and he's probably a practitioner of internal martial arts!"

Martial arts divide into internal and external, the external being robust and strong, whereas the internal blend softness externally with hardness internally; each has its pros and cons.

But most revered the internal.

So Zou Guozhong felt this young man must be unfathomable.

"Xiaowang, investigate this young man, but don't expose the target." Zou Guozhong said solemnly.

"Yes!"
