some things from the past, so as to make the clues more complete. This was all discussed and agreed upon with Ren Zhihua, but at present, Ren Zhihua is not suitable for meeting Ye Fan, even pretending...Chapter 402: Xu Chu's Meaning

Just as Ye Fan said, a figure like him coming to Linhai should be accompanied by those bigwigs, and they would carefully serve him.

However, he went to Ye Fan instead. Because, he was Ye Fan's former leader.

And in his eyes, Ye Fan was far more important than those so-called commanders of the coastal defense.

"Come on, let's chat." At this point, Xu Chu's face suddenly became serious. He glanced at Ye Fan and stopped talking. Instead, he went straight back to his car.

Although he had teased Xu Chu, seeing Xu Chu's car leading the way, he immediately followed. Even though he was no longer part of this organization, in his heart, it was still his home. His relationship with Xu Chu was like that of brothers and master and disciple.

Soon, Xu Chu drove up to a small Sichuan restaurant and stopped. Ye Fan knew that Xu Chu was from Sichuan and loved Sichuan cuisine, but he wasn't willing to go to big restaurants; he preferred the taste of these small eateries.

Parking his car behind Xu Chu's BMW, Ye Fan opened the door and jumped out.

Seeing that Xu Chu was already out of the car waiting for him, Ye Fan walked up to him and gave him a military-style salute.

"Let's go, it's been two years since I last saw you, kid." Xu Chu patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and then walked into the small restaurant first.

Ye Fan understood in his heart that Xu Chu's visit to Linhai City this time was definitely more than just seeing him. The current situation in Linhai was dangerous, and Ye Fan had already been involved. Because he wanted to help his aunt's Sikong family get a share of the profits in this chaos. In addition, regarding Lin Bing's affairs, if anyone knew about it, it was probably Xu Chu, who was in charge of these missions.

Ye Fan bought two packs of cigarettes at the small shop next to him, and then walked into the restaurant. After entering, Xu Chu was already ordering dishes, so Ye Fan threw one pack of cigarettes to Xu Chu.

It was still morning, and there were only the two of them eating in the restaurant. After ordering their food, Xu Chu opened his cigarette case, took out two cigarettes, and offered one to Ye Fan. Then, the two lit their cigarettes and smoked silently.

In the hazy smoke, Xu Chu looked up at Ye Fan and said, “Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.”

Ye Fan took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "You came here this time, not to vent your feelings, right"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Xu Chu let out a wry smile and scolded: "You guy, besides coming to talk business with me, can we not chat about anything else"

Mentioning this, he recalled the days when Ye Fan was in Longya, they drank and ate meat in large gulps, unrestrained and carefree. However, after two years apart, he felt a deep chasm between him and Ye Fan. Although invisible, it was clearly present. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, he also understood that the current relationship stemmed from what happened back then.

That incident only, Ye Fan withdrew from Longya, Lin Bing was no longer smiling. And the fat man was transferred from Langya to the National Security Department and no longer performed dangerous missions.

After that, the three of them had a distance between them and Xu Chu. Because Xu Chu was the only brother who knew the inside story. However, the organization had strict confidentiality procedures for that matter, and a death order was given that year, that matter could never be spread, it could only rot in one's heart.

Although he was the leader of the three, their relationship was so close that they could be seen as master and disciple, or even brothers. However, he still followed the organization's orders. He also knew in his heart that if he revealed the true inside story, something terrible would happen.

Perhaps, with the terrifying power of Ryuga and Ryuko, they will create some uncontrollable situations Especially, Ryuga's overwhelming influence within the organization, if he truly wants to do something, half of his former brothers will stand behind him, going crazy together.

Just thinking about the terrifying power of this group of people sends shivers down Xu Chu's spine. They are the top tier of existence in this world, and their feelings have often been forged in the fires of life and death. If they truly united to do something, I'm afraid only the military could stabilize the situation.

Therefore, Xu Chu did not tell Ye Fan about these things, even if it meant being misunderstood by his brothers. He wanted to keep these matters buried in his heart. He didn't want to see Ye Fan ultimately standing against the entire nation.

He knew in his heart that Ye Fan would eventually understand his good intentions.

Smoking, Xu Chu continued, "It wasn't bad living by the sea, was it"

"Being watched over by them, don't you know" Ye Fan extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at the fleeting pain on Xu Chu's face before asking, "They, are they all alright"

Ye Fan asked about them, of course referring to those brothers-in-arms who fought side by side.

"They're all doing well." Seeing Ye Fan bring it up, Xu Chu felt much of the pressure lift from his chest. He nodded and said, "If you have time, go back and see them. They all miss you."

Ye Fan just grinned but didn't speak.

He knew that the day he left the Dragon's Tooth, there was no going back. He didn't want his brothers to see a failure, a Dragon's Tooth that disgraced the organization. The Dragon's Tooth had never failed before, the only time they failed was because he disobeyed orders from the organization.

Because Ye Fan's investigation into the past year was a threat, some special organizations in the country secretly monitored him. This is why every time he found some clues, he always felt like an invisible hand was controlling him. In fact, Ye Fan understood this himself, but he just couldn't accept it.

While the fat man, leveraging his position at National Security, actually uncovered some inside information.

"Come on, what brings you to Linhai this time" By this time, the waiter had brought out the dishes. Early in the morning, the two of them were just there for drinks, so they ordered some snacks to go with it. Ye Fan opened another bottle of Erguotou and passed one to Xu Chu.

"Tonight's pricing matters, you can't be involved." Xu Chu picked up the wine bottle and said after a moment of contemplation.

Ye Fan bumped into him and then raised his head to take a large gulp. He then smiled and said, "What, afraid I'm killing innocents"

Xu Chu also took a big gulp, but shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that I'm worried about this. You're not that kind of person."

Ye Fan didn't speak, but he picked up some dishes and put them on Xu Chu's plate, then he also picked some for himself.

"The upper echelon wants things to remain stable and avoid making too much of a fuss. However, with your involvement, some people upstairs will have something to say." Xu Chu said with some worry.

"Those people What are they saying" Ye Fan took a sip of wine and asked faintly.

Xu Chu simply let out a wry smile and drank his wine, head bowed in silence.

Ye Fan, however, let out a cold snort, draining the two ounces of Erguotou in one gulp and opening another bottle. He had once shared a drinking session with Xu Chu at a small restaurant, but his mood back then was completely different from now.

Seeing Ye Fan's appearance, Xu Chu wanted to say something, but he held back. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he had a lot to say.
