Dragon Squad, Jiang Guohao

As Yun Che expected, Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang's car had just left the villa section. Quite a few people, especially the Ye and Shu families, received the message that the two of them were heading to Section D. The two families issued an order right away. As requested, Section D had to cooperate thoroughly. They needed to find out what Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang would do, do the utmost to help them with absolute no disturbance, and take precautions against others who would hurt them.

Other forces didn't make a move after finding out it wasn't Yun Che who headed for Section D. The trackers were asked to be discreet and update in doubt. After all, the focus was still on Yun Che whether the forces had any grudges against him or not. Especially yesterday, Yun Che took out the nutrient and claimed he carried tens of thousands of kilos of wheat with him. Since then, it had not been a secret any more that the southwest had managed to plant grains and had a bumper harvest. Even the forces that were not related to Yun Che had kept their eyes on him, hoping to get the secret of planting from him.

Section D was next to Section C and had a similar layout to other sections. Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang went to the superfunction association first and puttered around there. Their faces were highly recognizable. Even though no people worshiped stars after the doomsday, it didn't hinder people from recognizing the two of them. They didn't shy away from that advantage and got the information they wanted from other people easily.

Dragon Squad, which deserved to be the top-notch superfunction squad in Section D, was very large and had more than 500 registered superfunction possessors. With their family members included, there were up to over 2,000 people. Moreover, they had occupied the Capital Base from the very beginning. The main team of Dragon Squad lived in the villa section while the other teams rented and lived in two buildings together with their families. That was pretty much the scale of Chaoyang.

In Dragon Community, almost every family of the main team lived in a villa. There was a street where twenty villas were all theirs, so people directly called it Dragon Street. One morning, whoever in Dragon Squad had a mission had gone out. When Jiang Shang's car reached the entrance of Dragon Street, the car stopped in front of a big iron gate. Even though exchanges were not banned in the Capital Base, the base wouldn't restrict it when a superfunction squad which occupied a whole street blocked the entrances. It was unlikely for any base to offend the superfunction possessor easily.

"The front is Dragon Squad only. May I know who you are looking for?"

A man in his thirties wearing a security guard uniform walked out of the police box beside the iron gate. Seeing the car windows lowered, the man acted kindly enough. At least, he didn't yell at the passengers to get out of the place.

"Excuse me, sir. We're looking for Captain Jiang. Could you please let him know?"

Ye Xingchen took Jiang Shang's hand in his. The smile on Ye Xingchen's face made him appear courteous and comfortable. Their car wasn't as dirty as that of superfunction squad which had run outside for a long time. What was more, Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang looked extraordinarily refreshed. Thus, the man who was supposed to be a security guard didn't put on the scornful look that he put on when poor people came to rely on their rich relatives. But the man couldn't help knitting his eyebrows upon hearing Jiang Shang and Ye Xingchen's request. After all, Dragon Squad was not an ordinary superfunction squad. Just like Xing Feng of Chaoyang. If a stranger suddenly came to the entrance of Chaoyang Community with the request to meet Xing Feng, the concierge was unlikely to let the stranger in easily.

"May I have your names? I've got to enquire first."

After a second look at them, the security guard finally heaved a sigh of relief. Ye Xingchen said with a light smile, "Just tell him Jiang Shang is here."

"Jiang Shang?"

Strangely, the security guard widened his eyes upon hearing the name. A short while later, he grabbed out his cell phone hurriedly and opened a picture to compare with them. He then ran to the driver seat excitedly. "You're Jiang Shang, the son of our captain, right?"

"Yes."

Jiang Shang had never made his debut in Dragon Squad. Not many people knew he was the eldest son of Jiang Guohao, the CEO of Dragon Group. On the contrary, even a security guard unexpectedly knew Jiang Shang's status after the doomsday. It was definitely a lie to say that the two of them didn't get shocked. Even so, Jiang Shang remained adorkably peaceful on the outside before other people, let alone Ye Xingchen. The smile on Ye Xingchen's face hadn't vanished and the radian of his smile hadn't changed either.

"Wonderful. Captain must be thrilled to know this. Let me inform him right now. Please get in. Go straight to the end and the villa on the left is our captain's."

Hearing the response, the security guard turned around and ran back, leaving Jiang Shang and Ye Xingchen behind, embarrassed.

"Seems your parents have been looking for you everywhere. Otherwise, he wouldn't have related the name with you all at once."

Jiang was the surname of many people. Even though Jiang Shang's surname was also Jiang, people should think him as a relative of Jiang Guohao at most. It didn't make sense for the security guard to have related Jiang Shang with Jiang Guohao's son right away. The only possibility was that Jiang Guohao had talked about Jiang Shang with this subordinates and even particularly warned them. It wasn't hard to tell from that that the Jiang family still cared about Jiang Shang. At least, they cared about whether Jiang Shang was dead or alive. However, Ye Xingchen was in a different case. When he said he was well-known, he wasn't bragging about it. So it was impossible that the Ye family couldn't find him as long as they wished to. It just proved that the Ye family really didn't care about Ye Xingchen.

"Um… They, don't like."

The iron gate was opened. Jiang Shang frowned as he controlled the steering wheel. He was not stupid and knew what Ye Xingchen was going to say. But Jiang Shang had got used to be ignored since childhood and hadn't got used to be cared about by his parents.

"You mean you don't like them?"

It was still a little challenging for Ye Xingchen to understand that ambiguous sentence. Jiang Shang shook his head. "Don't like me. They, like brother, and keep me, from him. I, redundant."

"They don't like you but your brother, and they keep you away from him, so you think you are redundant?"

Fortunately, Ye Xingchen had been with Jiang Shang for long enough so that he could paraphrase his words. Jiang Shang nodded happily when Ye Xingchen understood him. Jiang Shang gave it a thought and then added, "I don't think, redundant, they think I redundant."

The memory of Jiang Shang's childhood impressed him so much that he could never forget his mother had snatched his brother from his arms like crazy when he tried to tease his crying brother. He was 10 and his brother was 5 back then. The way his mother looked at him was full of terror. Although the fear turned into guilt when his mother saw a toy in his hand, he was unable to forget that moment forever.

Jiang Shang didn't speak much and his words sounded incoherent. But that didn't hinder Ye Xingchen from sorting out the truth. The pictures occurred in his mind that the young Jiang Shang watched his parents spoil his brother in the corner. That instantly caused great pain in Ye Xingchen's heart. Ever since Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang were together, Ye Xingchen had doted on him and been unwilling to let him suffer, probably because Jiang Shang was 6 years younger. It was beyond Ye Xingchen's expectation that Jiang Shang had such a terrible childhood. Who else could understand better how it felt being neglected by parents? Both having a terrible childhood, no wonder Ye Xingchen and Jiang Shang appealed to each other.

"It's okay, Shang. You got me. For me, you are the one and only."

Thinking that, Ye Xingchen leaned against Jiang Shang's shoulder and threw his arms around Jiang Shang's neck.

"Um. Fine now. Love Xingchen, forever."

Holding Ye Xingchen with one arm, Jiang Shang seized the chance to confess his love again. The smile on Ye Xingchen's face broadened unconsciously. Ye Xingchen released himself from Jiang Shang and then held Jiang Shang's hands with their fingers interlaced. "You got Che and Yao too. We have a large family. We'll live together in the future."

"Um."

Jiang Shang nodded heavily. As they talked, they drove to the end of the street. A group of people clustered outside the villa on the left that the security guard had mentioned. The leader among the crowd was a tall man in his early 40s at most. The man and Jiang Shang somewhat resembled in appearance, but the man was maturer and more composed. He should be Jiang Guohao, Jiang Shang's father. The young man who stood beside Jiang Guohao and was as tall as him was at most in his tens. The boy and Jiang Shang resembled more in appearance and looked exactly like Jiang Shang when Jiang Shang had just entered the entertainment circle. It was quite apparent that the young man was Jiang Shang's brother.

"Squeak…"

"Shang!"

The car pulled over in front of the people. Before the two of them got off, Jiang Guohao rushed towards them excitedly and opened the car door. Looking at the face filled with joy and excitement that somewhat resembled Jiang Shang's, Jiang Shang was hesitant to get off the car.

"Shang, how have you been? When did you come back to the capital? Why do you come back till now? I've been looking for you. I named my squad as Dragon Squad just in fear that you couldn't find your way home."

Jiang Guohao was startled when seeing the alienation and strangeness in his son's eyes clearly. A touch of bitterness flashed in Jiang Guohao's eyes before he observed his son excitedly. Jiang Guohao finally rested assured when he saw his son in nice clothes with vigorous spirit, who looked even better than before the doomsday. Before Jiang Guohao's wife turned into a zombie, she had warned Jiang Guohao, holding his hand, to find their son. She had wished to compensate the hurt they had done to their son for all these years. She was still remembering her son when she was dying. Before Jiang Shang came back, Jiang Guohao had been looking for him. The superfunction associations of different sections had received the mission to look for Jiang Shang issued by Jiang Guohao. To help Jiang Shang find his way back home after his arrival in the capital, Jiang Guohao had named his superfunction squad as Dragon Squad and had led his squad to do missions desperately to keep Dragon Squad in the first place of Session D. He was confirmed that his son would know here was his home once he saw Dragons Squad in the capital. It turned out that Jiang Guohao was right. His son had really come back.

"Dad, excuse me."

After a long gaze at his father, Jiang Shang said calmly. It was not because he didn't feel touched. It was because his personality made him so. What was more, he had no idea how to respond his father's excitement and passion. After all, his father behaved much more different from that in his memory.

"Um? OK, you get off the car and we'll talk inside the house."

It was definitely a lie to say that Jiang Guohao didn't feel upset to see the expressionless face of his son. Jiang Guohao had no choice but to accept it because he and his wife who had passed away were the ones who had caused all this.

" Dad, why is he like that?"

However, Jiang Yi who was beside Jiang Guohao was upset. Jiang Yi's mother hadn't forgotten his brother before death, and his father had never given up searching for his brother. But his brother turned out to be so emotionless. Without a doubt, his brother's reaction was the cold water thrown on them, causing great disappointment. Originally, Jiang Yi had been very happy to know that his brother had come back. Unexpectedly…

"Well, your brother has just come back. We'll talk later."

How wouldn't Jiang Guohao know his young son would feel annoyed? But how could Jiang Guohao tell him such a shameful thing that he had done with his dead wife? Jiang Guohao and his dead wife were too young back then. After Jiang Shang's birth, they had felt very happy and loved him. When Jiang Shang was supposed to speak at his age, he hadn't spoken and hadn't been as active as other children. He had been as silent as a doll. His parents got worried and took him to the hospital for examination. He was physically healthy but was diagnosed as autism. In the following two years, his parents had taken great care of him and taught him to speak. They hadn't shifted their attention until they had another baby.

Their young son was born and their company had increasingly worn on them. Gradually, they had got used to ignore their silent old son who had no sense of existence. They had even worried that the autism would infect their young son in his babyhood. Therefore, they had kept their old son away from the young one. They had thought it a good move but hadn't realized that their old son was not stupid but silent. Their old son had seen what they had done in his eyes. It was too late when they found parents were no longer important in their old son's world. They wished to compensate, but they had no idea of how. They had just constantly transferred money to their old son's bank account to fulfill the material needs of his as much as they could.

When their old son requested to move out after earning his first salary, Jiang Guohao and his wife were upset, but had no way to turn him down. Their request was pale too. Jiang Guohao didn't dare to get involved in Jiang Shang's business, knowing that Jiang Shang loved writing. All Jiang Guohao could do was to constantly invest on the movies Jiang Shang had written. Jiang Guohao even had bought from his friend the share of the film company that Jiang Shang had worked for. That was the way Jiang Guohao had supported his son. Jiang Guohao and his wife had been joyful to see their son getting more and more famous and receiving good comments on the internet. That was the only way Jiang Guohao and his wife could have thought of to compensate their son.

However, it was unexpected that his wife had been infected after the sudden befalling of the doomsday. Before his wife turned into a zombie, the only one she had attached importance to before she turned into a zombie was Jiang Shang. She hadn't closed her eyes before she died. How would Jiang Guohao not feel ashamed to tell such a thing to his young son who had been spoiled? How would Jiang Guohao have the courage to require his old son not to estrange from him? All that was caused by Jiang Guohao and his dead wife.
