Chapter 453: Chapter 453: I’m Not Afraid of You
The other team members also seemed to think this training was ridiculous. Having defeated hundreds or even thousands to get here, they naturally had enough pride to back it up.
This time, Yang Chen didn\'t say anything more. He just signaled to Morin and Edlin beside him, and the two stepped forward.
"Everyone, my Chinese is not very good, but I\'m sure you can understand me," Morin said to the group of trainees with a smile. "Now, as your instructors, we announce: the escape starts."
As soon as he finished speaking, none of the trainees moved, most of them looking at Morin and Edlin with disdain, as if to say, "What can you do to us?"
They didn\'t believe that people like Yang Chen, who could knock down Bargler with two fingers, were everywhere.
But in the next moment, everyone was shocked!
Edlin, who had been standing three meters away, suddenly took a lightning-fast step forward and delivered an elbow strike directly to the chest of the nearest trainee!
"Ah!"
With a cry of pain, the seemingly strong man was sent rolling two meters away by the force!
Edlin, who was tall and full of explosive muscle, looked down at the other trainees with a smirk, "It has already started. Didn\'t you hear?"
Immediately, about ten of the remaining trainees chose to run away, while the other ten prepared to join forces to confront Edlin and Morin!
After a moment\'s hesitation, Cai Yan turned and retreated towards the other end of the beach, glancing back at Yang Chen but not saying a word.
Soon, the trainees who stayed behind realized they had completely miscalculated!
When Morin and Edlin attacked their group, it was entirely different from Yang Chen\'s previous strategy of not dodging or avoiding. They swiftly dodged and struck back with precision!
The Sea Eagle team, capable of holding their own against Ares\' biochemical warriors, naturally had unique combat awareness and methods. Even against opponents with similar strength, their experience was far superior.
Although neither used excessive force, their skillful techniques were enough to knock these half-baked trainees down!
In less than half a minute, more than ten people were temporarily taken down, and Morin and Edlin unhesitatingly chased after the ones who had run away, their speed far surpassing that of the fleeing trainees!
Cai Yuncheng, who had been watching all the changes, frowned and sighed heavily, "With this speed and combat ability, the Dragon Group\'s formal members are far behind."
"If the Dragon Group members haven\'t trained in ancient martial arts or internal energy, they indeed aren\'t top-tier agents," Yang Chen said frankly.
"It seems that these trainees, even if they want to escape successfully, will need at least ten days to half a month," Tsunami said with a wry smile.
"Not necessarily. It depends on how hard they try," Yang Chen replied.

Cai Yuncheng nodded and patted Yang Chen\'s shoulder. "I have something I\'d like to discuss with you privately. Is that alright?"
Seeing this amiable yet authoritative middle-aged man, Yang Chen naturally couldn\'t refuse. Following Cai Yuncheng deeper into the base, even the guards like Tsunami didn\'t come along. Yang Chen had a premonition that this conversation would be about Cai Yan.
As expected, Cai Yuncheng sighed as soon as he started speaking, "You must be wondering why I allowed Yan Yan to participate in this selection program."
Yang Chen smirked, "Just say what you need to say. There\'s no need for rhetorical questions."
"You young people," Cai Yuncheng laughed, not embarrassed by Yang Chen seeing through him. "Actually, I know quite a bit about you and Yan Yan."
"You\'re her father. It\'s not surprising that you know," Yang Chen said.
"No, you\'re wrong," Cai Yuncheng said with some embarrassment. "It\'s shameful to admit, but I only found out because my elder daughter, Cai Ning, talked to me about it later. That\'s how I learned the whole story."
Thinking about the woman he stargazed with last night, Yang Chen couldn\'t help but smile wryly. She had certainly kept a close eye on his personal affairs.
Cai Yuncheng chuckled and began to recount, "My elder daughter, Cai Ning, has always been an exemplary role model. Yan Yan grew up in her sister\'s shadow. Her goal since childhood was to become as skilled and elusive as her sister. Although she only recently found out what her sister does for a living, it didn\'t stop her from idolizing her.
"Perhaps because of our family\'s status and because we have someone like Ning, one of the Eight Divisions, Yan Yan has always been somewhat proud and often offends people. Throughout her life, I\'ve had to clean up after her many times. But Yan Yan has a kind heart and is quite a gentle child. She just has very high standards for herself and is extremely eager to follow in her sister\'s footsteps, making her somewhat reckless in both work and life.
"I know when you first returned to the country, Yan Yan often clashed with you. I suppose that was when you two first crossed paths. But strangely enough, despite being like fire and water, Yan Yan ended up liking you. As her father, I found it hard to believe."
Listening to Cai Yuncheng, Yang Chen couldn\'t help but touch his nose. It was strange even to him, but now, thinking back to Cai Yan\'s confession, he no longer felt awkward about it.
"Yang Chen, when Yan Yan proposed to participate in the special selection for the Dragon Group, her mother and I were strongly opposed, and even her sister, Cai Ning, tried to stop her. But that girl\'s stubbornness couldn\'t be swayed by a hundred bulls. Yan Yan was determined to join the selection, even at the cost of severing family ties, which left her mother and me utterly perplexed," Cai Yuncheng sighed and shook his head. "Later, Ning told us about some of her interactions with you, and we realized that she chose this path to escape from her heartbreak."
Yang Chen was slightly stunned. So it was because of him?
"You find it surprising too, don\'t you?" Cai Yuncheng smiled. "In Yan Yan\'s heart, she probably feels unworthy of you. Indeed, there\'s a significant gap in strength between you two. To that girl, strength is far more convincing than money, status, or power. Subconsciously, she likely wants to get closer to you. Did you know, from the time she joined the selection to becoming the only female member among the twenty-three trainees, our family hasn\'t given her any special treatment? Yan Yan\'s foundation wasn\'t the best, but her relentless effort and disregard for life and death in training brought her to where she stands today, right in front of you."
Listening to Cai Yuncheng\'s sincere narration, Yang Chen felt a pang of regret. Looking back, he realized he had been quite cruel. Even if he couldn\'t accept Cai Yan back then, he shouldn\'t have completely ignored her.
Being an expert in special training, Yang Chen knew very well how difficult it was for Cai Yan to reach this point given her basic skills. This woman had endured so much just to be a little closer to him?!
Seeing Yang Chen\'s silence, Cai Yuncheng felt a mix of satisfaction and helplessness. He said slowly, "I am Yan Yan\'s father. To me, since I can\'t stop my daughter from choosing a path filled with hardships and thorns, I can only support her and help her as much as I can.
"Yang Chen, can I ask you for a favor?"
Yang Chen looked up and nodded. "Go ahead."
"No matter what, make sure Yan Yan survives. I don\'t want to lose one of my two daughters because of this selection or the final practical test," Cai Yuncheng said solemnly. "This is not a request from the head of the Cai family, nor from a military commander, nor from a general of the Yan Huang Iron Brigade. This is just a simple father\'s request. No matter what your final decision is, don\'t let her mother and me lose this daughter."
Yang Chen silently looked into Cai Yuncheng\'s eyes for a moment and asked, "Do you trust me that much? You should know very well that I have many women."
"But you never betray your women, do you?" Cai Yuncheng replied. "Since Yan Yan can no longer love another man, even receiving a fraction of the love from the person she loves is the best outcome."
Yang Chen did not expect Cai Yuncheng to be so open-minded, even to the extent of proposing to entrust his daughter to him as a lover without hesitation.
"You indeed have more courage than Lin Zhiguo. He\'s been watching me closely, but you just came into office and are already offering your daughter to me," Yang Chen laughed heartily.
Cai Yuncheng did not respond, instead looking toward the distant beach. By now, Morin and Edlin were already conducting the second round of pursuit training with the reserve trainees, and the training was in full swing.
After a long time, Cai Yuncheng turned his head back, smiling. "Lin Zhiguo watches you closely and is cautious not to suffer losses because he fears you. He knows that the final decision-making power lies in your hands. I am different. I already know that the senior of \'Hongmeng\' is backing you. I can fully trust that you are friendly. I am not afraid of you, so I don\'t overthink things or shy away from making bold decisions. For me, cooperating with you is the best choice."
Yang Chen squinted his eyes. It seemed that those in charge had carefully chosen Cai Yuncheng as the new head of the Yan Huang Iron Brigade. With this insight, it appeared that the revival of the Yan Huang Iron Brigade was only a matter of time.
Just as Yang Chen was about to ask about Cai Ning and whether she would be in trouble for helping him, his phone rang. It was Zhao Teng from the company calling.
Given that it was the eve of the Yu Lei Star elimination competition, there were many urgent matters to attend to. Yang Chen quickly answered the call.
"Director, can you return to the company as soon as possible?" Zhao Teng\'s voice was tinged with helplessness and urgency. "A distinguished guest is demanding to see you."
