Chapter 517: A Turning Point
the Ye Family, haven't we done anything wrong"Yang Li-ping screamed like a cunning dog, her face was so thick-skinned, she could twist right into wrong and never feel ashamed."That night, when Grandp...This is a coffee shop run by Han people, and it also offers some Chinese dishes. After finding a table to sit at, Ye Fan ordered some food and then looked at the man sitting across from him.
The man was none other than Ren Zhihua.
Ren Zhihua, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency's First Department in South Africa, is responsible for collecting various intelligence information in the region. Although affiliated with different departments, Longya operates worldwide. Even though Longya has its own intelligence system, it still relies on the CIA's local resources and information network.
Ren Zhihua has been in South Africa for ten years. It can be said that he is the second-generation successor of South Africa's intelligence network, and he has made the entire CIA network spread throughout South Africa. So in this regard, he is indispensable. For a period of time, it has been him and Longnv coordinating matters in South Africa.
"Dragon Tooth." Ren Zhihua said with a respectful face.
When Ren Zhihua called himself Longya, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I'm no longer Longya. Just call me Ye Fan."
Ren Zhihua seemed to have thought of something, a deep sense of guilt and regret flashed across his face.
"Old Xu must have already called you," Ye Fan stared at Ren Zhihua, getting straight to the point.
Ren Zhihua nodded, without any concealment, but immediately said: “Before you were about to leave, Lao Xu had already called me. But I…” He hesitated for a moment at this point. As if gathering his courage, he said with a determined face: “But, I hope you will come.”
At this point, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Fan, almost a ninety-degree bow.
Perhaps, only he could understand the torment in his heart. For years, he had been searching for Ye Fan's information. When he learned that Ye Fan withdrew from Longya because of him, and that the incident involved too many people, including Ye Fan's master and the recommender of the Dragon Girl, who died unexpectedly in the aftermath, his heart was enduring a hellish torment every day.
All of this, it's all because Ye Fan risked everything to save him back then.
Over the years, he had many opportunities to be transferred to the Empire and gain promotions, but he still chose to stay in South Africa. Not only was it to investigate what happened back then, but also to atone for himself. These years, he worked frantically, almost spreading the intelligence network throughout South Africa.
When Xu Chu received a call from him, although Xu Chu sternly demanded that he should not provide any help to Ye Fan, and even not meet him. However, he still came, coming without hesitation.
If it weren't for this man in front of him, he might have already become dust. He still remembered clearly that when he was captured by local mercenaries in South Africa, Ye Fan ignored the organization's demands and risked mission failure. He spent a whole month dealing with the organization, one by one, killing these desperate mercenaries. And Ye Fan himself was seriously injured, almost losing his life. But Ye Fan gritted his teeth and saved him, causing that organization to disappear from the world forever...
Ren Zhihua seemed to recall something terrifying, his face contorted in pain, his teeth clenched tightly against his lips. Ye Fan was shot twelve times trying to save him, blood staining his entire body. However, he dodged each bullet, ensuring none hit vital areas. But twelve bullets fired into the body – if this were an ordinary person, they would have died instantly. Yet, Long Ya gritted his teeth and persevered, letting the blood flow freely…
“Get up.” Seeing Ren Zhihua like that, Ye Fan frowned slightly and said in a low voice. No matter who it was back then, as long as they were brothers within the organization, he would help them. He just didn't expect things to turn out the way they did.
But if he were to choose again, he would still choose to save his brother.
Ren Zhihua bowed deeply, then sat down in his seat.
“Long… Ye Fan.” Ren Zhihua originally wanted to call out “Dragon Fang,” but remembering that Ye Fan had already left Dragon Fang, he finally didn’t. He could only say Ye Fan's name: "Although I am now someone from the organization, as long as you need me, I can be at your disposal at any time. I stayed in South Africa waiting for this day."
Upon hearing Ren Zhihua's words, Ye Fan unexpectedly raised his head and looked at him. He saw that his eyes were clear, filled with tranquility and firmness.
"Lao Ren, back then, no matter who it was, I would save you. So..." Ye Fan didn't want to burden Ren Zhihua with too much.
Ren Zhihua shook his head seriously and said, "Ye Fan, I know that if it were any other brother, you would have gone all out. But, this person happens to be me. And for this matter, you've paid too much." He paused, his voice becoming more resolute: "If I, Ren Zhihua, don't know how to be grateful, then I lived in vain. My life was saved by you. For the rest of my life, even if there is a chance to sacrifice for you, I won't hesitate."
Seeing his unwavering determination, especially the clarity in his eyes, Ye Fan understood that he spoke those words from the heart.
Ye Fan didn't know that Ren Zhihua had been working tirelessly in South Africa, waiting for the day Ye Fan returned so he could lend a hand, no matter how insignificant. So these past few years, he had been pushing himself to the limit, desperately strengthening his abilities.
In his heart, there was no longer any organization, only Ye Fan. He worked desperately for the organization, but his purpose was only one: to wait for Ye Fan to return.
Ye Fan was more important to him than life itself!
It seemed that Ye Fan felt the sincerity and firmness emanating from Ren Zihua, and a warm feeling flashed in his heart. After the incident, he had never regretted saving his brother. But seeing his brother who he once saved so grateful today, there was still a touch of emotion in his heart.
"Lao Ren, the reason I came to South Africa this time is two-fold. First, to help Long Nu. And second, to investigate what happened back then." Ye Fan looked at Ren Zhihua and said solemnly, "I need your help."
As soon as Ye Fan finished speaking, Ren Zhihua nodded and said: "I've been preparing for this matter. When Lao Xu called, I knew I finally got it. All these years of work have not been in vain."
"You, do you have any leads" Hearing Ren Zhihua's words, I was still a little surprised, but I was delighted.
"Yes." Ren Zhihua lowered his voice. Then, he took out a U disk from his pocket and handed it to Ye Fan, saying, "There is all the information I have collected on it."
Ye Fan immediately took the U disk from his hand, his heart couldn't help but be a little excited...
After so many years of investigation, who would have thought that a breakthrough came from Ren Zhihua Ye Fan came to see Ren Zhihua today just to inquire about the progress of the Dragon Girl mission. Who could have imagined that he had been secretly investigating matters in order to repay Ye Fan for saving his life all those years ago.
