Chapter 102: Dragon Scales

  As the saying goes, "there is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts." Although Ye Han didn't like to cause trouble, he was also a proud person at heart. After his soul was possessed by a young man, he inevitably picked up some of the youngster's competitive habits. So when the old man in the Zhongshan suit said that he couldn't beat his nurse, Ye Han naturally felt a bit unconvinced.

  The old man in the Zhongshan attire was amused by Ye Han and laughed, saying: "Alright, you martial artists are all proud and unwilling to admit defeat. How about this? When there's time, I'll let Zhang Hua's men come and exchange blows with you, and see who's more formidable, you or them!"

  Several elderly people in the ward, including Tang Yunshan, raised their eyebrows and looked strange when they heard Zhongshan mention "Zhang Huan".

  Ye Han observed the old man's expression and knew that "Zhang Huan" in his mouth should be the leader of his guards. He thought that with the identity of the old man, the guards around him must not be ordinary people, and their strength must be much stronger than Wang Chen and Li Gang. Since he came to this world, he couldn't even find a decent opponent, feeling a bit lonely like snow. Having an opponent with similar strength to spar with would also be a good feeling.

  Ye Han rubbed his hands together, with a thrilled and excited look on his face, saying: "Alright, old comrade, let them come quickly, I'm getting impatient!"

  Tang Ping coughed loudly and gave Ye Han a signal with his eyes. Ye Han understood, walked to his side and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Uncle Tang?"

  Tang Ping said, "You may not know that Zhang Huan's Shaolin Kung Fu 'Great Power Vajra Fist' is unmatched. I personally saw him shatter a stone tablet with one palm. Ha! Compared to Wang Chen and Li Gang by my side, it's like a small sorcerer meeting a great sorcerer, completely on different levels. Do you really plan to spar with him?"

  Tang Ping said that Ye Han's interest in Zhang Hua increased even more, and he asked: "Uncle Tang, what is Zhang Hua's identity after all?"

  Tang Ping coughed and said in a low voice: "He's someone from the highest leader's side. Hmm, you probably haven't heard of 'Long Lin'..."

  "What's this 'Dragon Scale' nonsense?" Seeing Tang Ping's mysterious expression, Ye Han became even more curious.

  "Hush..." Ye Han muttered "what the heck" and Tang Ping almost didn't pounce over to cover his mouth, seeing the highest leader talking to his father and not noticing this side, secretly let out a breath, and pulled Ye Han further away, speaking in an even lower tone, saying: "Speak softly, it's not good if the highest leader hears."

  Ye Han smiled and said: "Alright, I'll speak softly. What's going on with that 'Dragon Scale', tell me about it."

  "This matter involves secrecy, so I can only tell you briefly: 'Longlin' is a mysterious special forces team that was established at the beginning of our country's founding. The members are few but elite, and each one has a unique skill. Initially, the purpose of establishing 'Longlin' was to protect the safety of the highest leader. Later, the responsibilities of 'Longlin' were divided into two parts: the inner group continued to be responsible for protecting the highest leader, while the outer group handled various emergency events that threatened national security. 'Longlin' only takes direct orders from the highest leader, and no one else can mobilize them."

  He said this, paused for a moment, and then continued: "As the leader of the 'Dragon Scales' group, it's easy to imagine how formidable Zhang Hua is! So... although your skills are very strong, to be honest, I don't think you can beat Zhang Hua, the number one master of the 'Dragon Scales'. Hehe, don't get angry, you're just a few years younger than Zhang Hua, it's only a matter of time before you catch up with him..."

  Ye Han curled his lip and said, "You haven't even fought yet, how do you know I'm not his match? Didn't that old comrade say he wanted me to spar with Zhang Huan? I'll stay here today and wait for Zhang Huan!"

  Tang Ping was startled and said: "You're not... the Supreme Leader just casually mentioned it, joking with you, but you actually believed it?"

  "Hmm, I'm serious! As soon as I heard that I could find a formidable opponent to spar with, my heart started itching!" Ye Han sighed and said with a melancholic expression: "Uncle Tang, the loneliness of being a master, you don't understand!"

  Tang Ping saw him being arrogant and couldn't help but burst out laughing, saying: "Good kid, you're talking as if you're Dugu Qiubei! Thinking of beating Zhang Hua, a top-notch expert, isn't just something to be said with your mouth!"

  Ye Han curled his lips and said, "I may not dare say I'm invincible in the world, but it's certain that I rarely meet a match. Tang Uncle, you don't understand our warriors' hearts. When we encounter a strong opponent, if we don't have a showdown, we'll be restless day and night. I believe it's not just me who feels this way. If Zhang Huan knew of my existence, he'd definitely want to find me for a spar!"

  Tang Ping waved his hand and said: "No way, no matter what you say, I won't let the two of you fight!"

  The two of them were talking on this side, while Mu Qiuping had already stood in front of the highest leader on that side, with a serious expression, and reported to the highest leader about the detailed process of her mother and daughter's three people taking a plane together with Ye Han yesterday, as well as being assassinated on the plane.

  "Director, this matter is obviously targeting our Tang family, so I hope the director can preside over justice for us, investigate the matter clearly, and see who is the mastermind behind it, and give our Tang family a fair deal!" Mu Qiuping said finally.

  "What? Such a thing has happened?" The supreme leader's eyebrows were tightly locked, his face showed anger, and he asked in a low voice.

  He allows his subordinates to compete fairly, and even tacitly permits them to fight each other, but such fighting can only be limited to behind-the-scenes, and must not break out. In other words, no matter how hard everyone struggles in private, they absolutely cannot harm or endanger the lives of others or their families; otherwise, it would exceed the bottom line, which is something that the highest leader absolutely cannot tolerate and must strictly prevent.

  Now, there are actually people who want to assassinate the mayor of a city in China and the divine doctor who can save Mr. Tang's life. It is imaginable that if these two people die, the blow to the Tang family will be enormous, and who can benefit from it, wise people can see at a glance.

  However, in the political arena, nothing is as it seems, and no one is a fool, especially not the top leader. He knows that this matter is absolutely not as simple as it appears on the surface, and who knows how many shady deals are hidden beneath. If handled improperly, it could trigger a huge upheaval.

  "Director, this incident occurred yesterday afternoon, I believe it has already been reported in the news. You can send someone to investigate further."

  Mu Qiuping said, recalling the terrifying scene from yesterday, still feeling a lingering fear, glanced at Ye Han and continued: "The situation at the time was really terrible. If Ye Han hadn't been there to kill those two assassins on the spot, not only would I have died, but also hundreds of lives on that plane might have been lost!"

  The highest leader also took a look at Ye Han, nodded to him and praised: "Little guy did a great job, saved so many people, worthy of praise! And Comrade Qiuping, please rest assured that I will let Zhang Hua personally investigate this matter and give you an explanation. No matter who is involved in the end, absolutely no tolerance!"

  "Thank you, Chief," Mu Qiupeng said respectfully.

  The highest leader nodded and walked to the window of the ward, beckoned through the window to a man under a tree outside. Ten minutes later, a sturdy man in a dark gray stand-up collar suit appeared in the ward.

  This sturdy man was only about thirty years old, with a height of around 1.85 meters, and his robust body was like that of a wild buffalo. Unlike the highest leader's aura of being awe-inspiring without being angry, this sturdy man exuded an aura as sharp as a sword out of its scabbard, as if nothing could withstand him. His eyes sparkled with a fierce light, making people dare not look straight at him.

  "Commander, Zhang Hao reporting for duty!" The robust man stood before the highest commander, gave a standard military salute, and at the same time restrained his breath, instantly becoming like an ordinary big fellow again.

  "Is that Zhang Hao?" Hearing the burly man's introduction, Ye Han gazed at him with a concentrated expression, sizing him up for a few moments before nodding his head. In his heart, he thought: "Indeed, he has some skills, better than Wang Chen and Li Gang's martial arts abilities. However, in front of me, it's still not enough! He came out of Shaolin Temple, I don't know who his master is. Probably only when facing off against his master will things get more exciting!"

  Zhang Hao naturally didn't know that after he entered the ward, Ye Han had already secretly admired and then despised him in his heart. His legs were tightly closed, standing upright like a javelin, his whole person was like a sharp sword, ready to strike at any moment upon receiving an order. The full spiritual state and the high morale made everyone in the ward turn their heads to look at him.

  "Xiao Zhang, you've come just in time, there's something I need you to take care of..."

  The highest leader's voice also lowered a bit, explaining something to Zhang Huan, who listened seriously and solemnly, nodding occasionally.

  Tang Ping on the side winked at Ye Han, and then made a face at Zhang Hua, hinting that he wasn't looking for Zhang Hua? That's it! Go ahead!

  Tang Ping had just mentioned Zhang Hua to Ye Han, but unexpectedly Ye Han was eager to try, with the intention of finding Zhang Hua to hone his skills. Tang Ping thought that Ye Han was a young man with a passionate heart, and under the impulse of hot blood, he made this decision. Later, thinking about it, he didn't persuade him anymore. Ye Han was too young, let him suffer a bit, encounter some setbacks, which would be more beneficial for his future growth.

  Being too sharp and exposed is ultimately not a good thing. I hope that Ye Han has had this "failure" experience, and can gather his sharpness a bit.

  Ye Han hadn't even fought Zhang Heng yet, but Tang Ping intuitively felt that the winner would undoubtedly be Zhang Heng. If Ye Han knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at him again.

  Ye Han smiled and walked to Zhang Hua's side, saying to the highest leader: "It's really 'speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives'! Old comrade, this is the Zhang Hua you just mentioned?"

  The highest leader was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Ah... he's indeed Zhang Hao! How about it, little guy, you really want to exchange blows with him?"

  ps：

  Yesterday's monthly ticket was over 200, today is over 20, the difference is tenfold... Is it my fault for not updating enough? I've been writing nearly 10,000 words in three updates a day, I'm already doing my best, so why are the monthly tickets still so few?

  On the monthly ticket chart, those in front are already hard to catch up with, and those behind are catching up tightly. Is it going to decline like this? Is this book going to be submerged in the sea of books?

  I'm not reconciled!

  Unwilling to accept!

  I'm asking you for one monthly ticket, just this month.

  Is it okay?

  Check your ticket warehouse and see if there are still monthly tickets, vote for them!
