Yun Che the Rascal Did It Again!

"Ours says 10 am as well."

As if Yun Che's letter of notice didn't shock him enough, Gu Mingxuan gave him theirs under Xing Feng's instruction. Jiang Wanshan couldn't figure out how two of the bulk-printed letters went wrong and happened to be received by Chaoyang and Peak. He would have thought they falsified the letters if the two pieces of paper hadn't had the Signet of Base Defense on them.

"So? I'm not bullshitting, am I?"

It was just a piece of common A4 paper. Yun Che could falsify as many as he wanted. As for the signet, he could carve one with a turnip once he got the sample. These were the easiest things for someone with abundant resources to do.

"M-Maybe the staff made a mistake. Sorry, it's the Base Defense's fault."

Jiang Wanshan wore a grimace with two pieces of paper in hand. Yun Che walked up to him and patted on his shoulder to show his magnanimity. "It's OK. Just one hour late, don't blame yourself too hard. Everyone makes mistakes. The Base Defense is busy with all kinds of chores and affairs. Don't worry about it. Just tell your people to be more careful."

If you didn't know Yun Che much, you'd be moved by his comfort whereas those who knew him pretty well, for example, Gu Mingxuan and Ye Xingchen, were guffawing inside. You couldn't find another person in Southwest who was cheekier than Yun Che. Heiyu wasn't a person, so you had to count him out.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Although it didn't make sense, Jiang Wanshan knew they must have tampered with the letters. But he couldn't confront them. Not only he couldn't confront them but he also had to say sorry with a smile on his face. Jiang Wanshan felt like he was the biggest sucker on Earth.

"No problem."

Yun Che gloatingly patted again on his shoulder. He and Xing Feng then swaggered past him after making eye contact with one another. When Gu, Ye and Jiang walked past Jiang Wanshan, they all darted a compassionate look at him, wondering how terrible he must be feeling right now. Yun Che was such a devil.

"Captain Xing, we haven't met in a while."

Right after they took a few steps, someone got in their way. It was Major General Lin, the delegate of Wei Army. In the meantime, Major General Wang, the delegate of Wang Army offered his hand. "Captain Xing, nice to see you again."

As fellow military men, of course they knew Xing Feng. If Xing Feng hadn't left the army for some other business, he would have earned the most medals. Even though he wasn't a general right now, many soldiers still admired this legendary man.

"I thought it was just a casual meeting. Now that you two are here, I'm sure it must be a very important conference."

After shaking hands with the two major generals, Xing Feng acted like he didn't have a clue about the subject of this conference even though he'd already had all the information that he needed. The superfunction possessors here in the room might fall for it but not these two major generals. They knew the relationship between Xing Feng and Mo Wenyang. It would be impossible that Mo Wenyang hadn't told him about the conference.

"Hehe. Well, it is a bit complicated."

Major General Lin equivocated while Major General Wang chose to remain silent. Lin turned to Yun Che and fervidly offered his hand. "You're Yun Che, the captain of Peak Squad, right? You're sightly different from everything that I've heard about you. Anyway, I'm Lin Xian from Wei Army!"

Lin Xian's eyes behind the glasses scrutinized the thin, inoffensive man who was less than 6-feet tall. The military had all the information on every member of all the top-20 superfunction squads. Peak ranked second at the moment, so Yun Che was in their database, too. Sadly, his file wasn't very detailed. But not just his, every Peak member's file wasn't detailed. It wasn't that the military didn't try, it was just Peak was a very low-key squad. Its members, aside from doing quests, did their best to avoid showing their faces in public. But they were also super famous at the same time. Well, laying as low as possible was the loudest show-off.

"Oh. Different how?"

Normally, people would just say "Nice to meet you" or something but Yun Che never played normally. He would find a spot in your wording and attack hard. He did shake Lin Xian's hand, though, otherwise, it'd be impolite.

"Well, I didn't expect the outstanding Captain Yun to have such a pretty face. If we weren't living in the doomsday, you could get a job in show biz."

After a quick thought, Major General Lin made a relatively safe choice.

"A pretty face? We Peak have many pretty faces. Take a look at these two behind me. Aren't they handsome as hell? Our parents gave us these pretty faces which everybody envies. There's nothing we can do. Sorry for the inaccuracy in the intelligence that you gathered, Major General Lin."

No matter how safe you thought your choice would be, one could always find an angle to satirize you if he wanted to. Yun Che also bragged about Ye Xingche and Jiang Shang while he was at it. Even a seasoned man like Lin Xian felt Yun Che's cheekiness was too much for him.

But Peak applauded for their captain.

Those who knew Yun Che all gave him thumbs-up in secret. Yun Che even cheered up Mo Wenyang who generally didn't want to be close to him. He used to think that Yun Che just got fierce fists but today, he learned that his tongue was equally merciless. He did live up to title–Xing Feng's home-guarding beast!

"And you are?"

After amazing Major General Lin, Yun Che shifted his attention to the other major general. Major General Wang didn't want to end up like Major General Lin, so he decided to say as few words as possible. He simply offered his hand and replied, "Wang Guoan from Wang Army."

"Oh, Major General Wang, Nice to meet you. Well, well, well, generals are surely different from common folks. Look at your body, your presence. You look important to me at first sight! There're people out there who call themselves soldiers but they wear a pair of pretentious glasses. As if they're so refined! Haven't they heard that with glasses on, one is a man; with glasses off, one is an animal."

Yun Che almost fawningly held Wang's one hand with two of his hands, but to someone, the last part of his greeting felt like a smack in the face. Yun Che immediately changed his tone as if he noticed he said something inappropriate. "Oh, sorry, Major General Lin, I wasn't referring to you but the one stands behind Captain Xing. Just look at him, he always squints at people, he has a cunning face. And with those highbrow glasses, doesn't he look like a hypocrite?"

It seemed Yun Che was righteously specifically accusing Gu Mingxuan but Major General Lin knew his target wasn't Gu. In everyone's presence, all Lin could do was keep up the simper on his face.

"It isn't my fault that I have a cunning face. And what's wrong with my glasses?" Thought Gu.

It wasn't fair for Gu yet he had to suck it up. He'd been near-sighted before the doomsday, although he had some of his vision back thanks to his superfunction after the doomsday, he was just used to the glasses, so he would have felt weird if he had taken them off. Wasn't it too harsh to describe him as a hypocrite? Plus, he squinted because he had single-fold eyelids, he wouldn't pay for a double-fold eyelid surgery so that he'd stop squinting, would he?

"If you keep taunting Mingxuan, he's gonna cry."

Xing Feng turned to him and joked while feeling sorry for his good brother. Today sure was his unlucky day, Che always had it in for soldiers, especially generals. On this occasion, he met three. He wouldn't have been his normal self if he hadn't stirred up a farce.

"Heehee. I thought all three armies sent their delegates here. Where is the other one?"

Yun Che snickered as he rubbed his nose. He was now done with Wang and Lin. He looked over their shoulder in search of Mo Wenyang who he knew must have been in the room. To most people's knowledge, Yun Che and Mo Wenyang didn't know each other personally. So it was a perfect chance for Yun Che to add a little bit more fun to this show.

Mo Wenyang, sniggering in the dark for all this time, twitched reflexively as soon as he heard the home-guarding beast calling his name. Nevertheless, he casually waved his hand at them, saying, "Are you looking for me, Captain Yun?"

He wanted to stay 20 meters away from Yun Che if he could but the reality was, Mo Wenyang didn't have a choice. He could just watch Yun Che take his gang to draw near.

"Ahem! Mo Wenyang from Mo Army."

Mo Wenyang winced at the simper on the faces of Yun and Xing as he made eye contact with them. He cleared his throat and offered his hand. To complete the show, Yun Che turned to Xing Feng after shaking Mo's hand. "My understanding of army men has been overturned today. I thought everybody in the army should look like Major General Wang. I didn't expect you to be so handsome, Mr. Mo. You're male-stripper handsome!"

"Ahem!"

Xing Feng coughed to cover his urge to laugh. His Che was so funny. From the Head of Base Defense to the three major generals, he mocked them all.

"Captain Yun, could you please let go of my hand?"

Waggling his hand which was still in Yun Che's grasp, Mo Wenyang reminded Yun Che with a grimace on his face. Silently, he'd been cursing Yun Che and all his ancestors for countless times. "Xing Feng, you see? What would he be if he wasn't a home-guarding beast? In fact, he's more ferocious than a beast!"

"Oh, sorry. I got carried away."

After releasing Mo's hand, Yun Che's job was done. He then took Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang to the seats reserved for Peak."

"Your wife is brutal!"

When shaking hands with Xing Feng, Mo Wenyang whispered to him with a sobbing tone. For the sake of his own safety, he had to stay as far away from the beast as possible in the future.

"Ha."

Xing Feng chuckled, patted on his shoulder, and walked past his cousin. Xing Feng was aware that Yun Che didn't mean to mock Mo Wenyang, it was just he'd already directly or indirectly made fun of the other two major generals. It would have been weird if Yun Che hadn't given Mo Wenyang a hard time. And actually, Yun Che was relatively nice to him.

No one else on the planet would make saying-hi so dramatic apart from Yun Che. What this would lead to was that the other two armies and the government would put more attention to him.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I wouldn't have waited at home with nothing to do if I knew the conference started at 9 am."

After seating themselves, Yun Che friendly waved at everyone and said hello. Once again, he stabbed another knife into Jiang Wanshan's wound by insinuatingly blaming the fault on Base Defense.

"We didn't wait that long. It isn't like you came late on purpose."

"Yeah. It's Base Defense's fault. You don't need to say sorry, Captain Yun."

"The Base Defense should find who's accountable for this. Did someone try to frame Captain Yun and Xing? How come ours were correct and theirs weren't?"

"Right, Mr. Jiang. You mustn't turn a blind eye to it. We ask for a thorough investigation."

"Yes."

A bunch of superfunction possessors spoke up for Yun Che and Xing Feng after Lei Dashan took the lead. Gradually, they, too, started pointing their fingers at Jiang Wanshan, who kept promising them that he would look into it despite the unsolicited imputation. The crowd was then quieted down. During the commotion, the creator of it was whispering with Xing Feng over something.
