Chapter 2025 - 2025: 2025

Ye Tianming's face was stern as he said, "At this place, what kind of accident could happen? You're not aware of the yacht's configuration, are you?"

The bodyguards indeed didn't know Liu Zhizhong's private yacht's configuration. But Ye Bingyu was very well aware; she knew it best.

Should there be an accident with the yacht, a distress signal would be sent out in advance, and the National Coast Guard Rescue Team from the Wale Republic would arrive within fifteen minutes.

Moreover, the yacht itself is equipped with a multitude of advanced security measures, including sonar detectors, small rescue boats, instant inflatable life vests, and more.

Ye Tianming said, "My word is an order! My daughter and my own life are important; is President Chi Zhongshui's life not important?"

At this point, the bodyguards had nothing to say. They obediently retrieved Ye Tianming's fishing gear from the car, helped him deliver it to the yacht, and then drove away to find a nearby hotel to stay.

Ye Tianming was satisfied and said to his security chief, "That's the way! Kachin has many places to travel and explore. You're free now; I'll give you a week's free time, so go and have some fun!"

The team leader was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do except to lead the team and depart.

The boss had given instructions; what else could he do? A week is a week, let's go have some fun!

By contrast, Ye Bingyu's security force was much more sensible. When she met Liu Zhizhong and Ye Tianming and walked onto the ship, her four escorts withdrew quietly, without any fuss.

Soon, Liu Zhizhong, along with two others, boarded his private yacht and set sail.

Of course, it was Liu Zhizhong in charge of the sailing. As for Ye Tianming, he was in the captain's cabin, smoking a cigarette, sipping tea, chatting away and feeling very excited.

Liu Zhizhong's fishing gear was naturally already stored on the yacht; there was no need to retrieve it.

As for Ye Bingyu, she had exchanged words with her father in advance, so she prepared exquisite ingredients and brought them onto the yacht as well. Once on the ship, her father and her beloved man sailed away, and she busied herself in the kitchen preparing dinner. She had even prepared ingredients for late-night barbecue. She really appreciated and loved the food here in Wale Republic; it was indeed delicious and healthy.

This kind of life truly has its own taste. The man sets sail and fishes, while the woman handles the household and logistics.

Following the direction of the setting sun, the yacht sailed upstream along the Kachin River.

The golden autumn of September on the Kachin River is serenely enchanting.

The last rays of sunlight on the river surface glimmered like thousands of golden beams shimmering at the tips of the waves.

The cool breeze, fragrant with the scent of flowers and grasses, blew gently.

The sky had not yet turned completely dark, and stars were already emerging across the firmament.

The soft moonlight enveloped the earth like silver.

Amid such a beautiful scene, Ye Tianming chatted freely with Liu Zhizhong while admiring the sights around him, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Zhizhong, your domain truly is a wonderful place! Years ago, we predicted it was a chaotic region of warlords, not worth mentioning. But who could have imagined that you, kid, survived here and, in a short span of time, elevated it to the ranks of global developed countries? Impressive! No wonder you're my son-in-law, hahaha..."

At the end, the spontaneous sense of pride made his laughter loud and cheerful.

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "It seems like a miracle, but it's just an appearance. Fundamentally, it's the construction of the political system that played a decisive role. Otherwise, I would still be a warlord engaged in mixed battles, lacking even the courage to meet you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianming laughed heartily but then grew serious again.

Ye Tianming's seriousness was truly serious.

That kind of seriousness, honed from the military experience of a veteran King of Soldiers, really carries a unique flavor.

His rugged brows, deep eyes, although not very tall, suddenly exuded a cold aura from his sturdy frame.

He gazed intently at the river bay under the starlight in the distance, the stars transforming into cold gleams in his eyes.

Liu Zhizhong felt his aura was off, extremely serious, and couldn't help but respond more gently, "Uncle Ye, what's the matter?"

Ye Tianming's expression didn't relax, and he nodded, "Zhizhong, you just spoke very correctly, about the issue of systems. Without your correct political system construction, the Wale Republic wouldn't be what it is today. You would have been nothing more than a warlord with absolute rule in one place, resorting to fighting and killing. However, you chose the right path, and you are still you. But have you ever thought that your motherland is still your motherland, still operating under a wrong system, now even frantically rushing backward."

"Uh..."

Liu Zhizhong was stunned, hands on the rudder, turning his head to look at Ye Tianming.

At this moment, Uncle Ye's expression was still very severe, but there was already some light in his eyes.

Obviously, he still held some hope in his heart.

However, due to differences in identity!

He was the President of Wale Republic, Ye Tianming was an intelligence chief from Great Eastern Pot, how could Liu Zhizhong tell Ye Tianming candidly, "Uncle Ye, rest assured, I have already united the powerful people in Southwest and Southern regions, preparing for a second September revolution."

Such a secret, Ye Tianming is able to know, but he cannot know, at least not now.

Of course, doesn't Liu Zhizhong want to win over Ye Tianming?

Of course!

With Ye Tianming's involvement, the chances of a successful revolution would increase greatly.

Liu Zhizhong could only laugh blankly, spread his hands, then hold the steering rudder again, shaking his head, "Uncle Ye, there's no way. During my years of officialdom in Great Eastern Pot, you, in the Great Eastern, needless to say, it's been a century from glory to now. Everyone can feel it, but all they can do is feel; besides feeling, there's nothing else anyone can do. It's been this way for two thousand years, haha..."

Ye Tianming nodded, then shook his head, "In the long term, it's not feasible. Everyone has an emperor's dream, but can everyone be an emperor? The emperor's dream itself is a mistake. But without such dreams, how could the Ye Family and other aristocratic families grow powerful? No one can let go of the Iron Fist, but under the Iron Fist, the national economy and people's livelihood will become increasingly difficult. Sigh..."

Saying this, Ye Tianming took out a cigarette and lit one for both him and Liu Zhizhong.

In the swirling smoke, Ye Tianming's face betrayed a sense of inexplicable sadness and worry.

Liu Zhizhong pondered in silence for a moment, contemplating when he should reveal the truth to Uncle Ye.

From the looks of it now, Ye Tianming is unhappy with the current situation in Great Eastern Pot, despite being part of an aristocratic family, with enormous family and personal influence and a prestigious position.

The cabin suddenly fell into a kind of inexplicable stillness.

On the other side, the aroma of Ye Bingyu's dinner dishes from the kitchen wafted over with the wind, truly tantalizing the taste buds.

After a short while, Ye Tianming took a long drag of his cigarette and said, "Do you know about your sister-in-law's matter?"
