Pan Yunhai couldn't help being stunned when he saw Ye Fan's polite refusal.
Although he has not had an in-depth conversation with Ye Fan, he still understands him relatively well.
Ye Fan is very patriotic in his heart, so logically speaking, he should not reject himself.
Moreover, this international military performance did not pose much danger to life. All the weapons were not real guns and live ammunition. Compared with the things Ye Fan helped him with before, it was much safer.
"Ye Fan, just go if my dad asks you to go. Do you have to ask him to beg you?" Pan Yuyan shouted softly from the side and raised her hand to slap Ye Fan on the shoulder.
She is an extreme warrior, her hands are very strong and she can make a loud "snap" sound.
Qu Wei was frightened. He quickly grabbed Pan Yuyan and persuaded him with a wry smile: "Yuyan, Yuyan, if you have anything to say, please speak up and don't do anything. Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, Yuyan has this temper..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Fan waved his hand nonchalantly and did not argue with Pan Yuyan.
The two of them have a very good relationship and are used to fighting in private.
If Qu Wei hadn't been there, Pan Yuyan would probably have thrown Ye Fan over his shoulder.
"Uncle Pan, it's not that I don't help, it's just that there have been a lot of things lately." Ye Fan grinned, "I proposed to Xiao Li yesterday."
"Oh?" Pan Yunhai was stunned for a moment, glanced at his daughter, quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to you!"
Pan Yuyan's expression changed drastically, and her brows furrowed.
Ye Fan didn't notice the change in Pan Yuyan's expression, and smiled to himself: "Uncle Pan, I just proposed, and I left for ten and a half months all at once. I'm afraid my fiancée will have objections.
Moreover, my daughter hasn’t been alone with me for a long time. If I leave for such a long time, she will get into trouble with me again.”
Pan Yunhai sighed, "Well, since you care about your family, we can't force you. After all, you are not a member of our special team."
"Thank you, Uncle Pan, for understanding." Ye Fan was grateful.
Although he also wanted to serve the country, in front of his family and country, he preferred to choose a small family.
After all, China's special team is very powerful. Even if there is no special team called Confidential Eagle, there are still other special teams that can achieve good rankings in the military.
Ye Fan's participation is the icing on the cake and will not change the overall situation.
At this time, the door to the lounge room opened, and an old man walked out on a cane.
Ye Fan turned his head to look and was stunned.
"You... aren't you... that old man from the temple fair?" Ye Fan was shocked, "Old man, why are you here?"
As soon as the old man appeared, Qu Wei and Pan Yuyan quickly stepped forward to help him. Pan Yunhai also stood up, bowed slightly to the old man, and gave up his seat to him.
"Young man, we meet again."
The old man sat in Pan Yunhai's seat and greeted Ye Fan kindly.
Ye Fan was a little confused and looked at Pan Yunhai suspiciously.
Pan Yunhai smiled bitterly and solemnly introduced to Ye Fan: "Ye Fan, this is the old commander Shangguan of our special group general area!"
"Whoa!"
As soon as Pan Yunhai finished speaking, Ye Fan immediately stood up straight and gave a standard military salute to the old man, "Chief, chief, okay!"
The old man nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, you are not from our military region."
"...I didn't expect you to be the commander-in-chief of our Southern Military Region." Ye Fan smiled sarcastically, "I was so rude in front of the commander a few days ago. Please don't take offense to the commander."
Ye Fan spent several years in the special team of Guoying in his previous life, so he naturally knew the commander-in-chief of the special team of the three major military regions in the south, Shangguan Liuyun!
However, the commander-in-chief keeps a low profile, and few members of the younger generation of special forces have seen his true appearance in person.
Originally, Ye Fan thought that the Commander-in-Chief was old and had been relegated to the second line, so the dragon could not be seen.
But I didn't expect that he is still serving as the commander-in-chief of the special group of the three major military regions in the south.
After doing the math, Commander Shangguan is probably over a hundred years old!
This is a legendary veteran king, who can even be said to be the first person to create the Chinese special forces.
During the wars of the last century, he led many extraordinary people in the army to resist foreign enemies and made great contributions to the founding of China.
In the Chinese army, there is no special soldier who would not be in awe of him and worship him as a "god"!
Ye Fan did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Shangguan Liuyun, and always stood upright, respectful and very excited.
"Young man, I'm asking you to do something for me, can you agree to it?"
Shangguan Liuyun knew that Ye Fan was not in the army, but he was still very satisfied with being so respectful to him.
When Ye Fan saw the old commander speaking, he held his head high and stood up straighter.
"This international military exercise is probably the last exercise that I will lead China to participate in. I don't want to leave the army with regrets. Young man, can you help me?"
Shangguan Liuyun said with a smile.
Ye Fan didn't think too much and nodded firmly: "Resolutely complete the task!"
Pan Yunhai chuckled, "The old leader still has a lot of face. I talked to this guy for so long just now, but he refused to agree."
"I'm just relying on my old age to show off my old age." Shangguan Liuyun smiled happily and said to Ye Fan: "Young man, sit down and let me ask you something."
"Yes!" Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat across from Shangguan Liuyun.
"Are you Wang Chaoyang's apprentice?" Shangguan Liuyun asked.
"That's right." Ye Fan nodded, "My skills were taught by Mr. Wang. Strictly speaking, I am also his apprentice!"
"Wang Chaoyang has been with me for many years, and I never knew he had a disciple like you." Shangguan Liuyun smiled faintly.
"Besides, I can confirm that he has never had access to your files. If this is really the case, is there a special reason for the things you did in the past few years?"
Ye Fan saw that Shangguan Liuyun was not suspicious of him, he was just curious about why Ye Fan was still a drunkard and gambler a few years ago.
Why did he immediately change his appearance as soon as Wang Chaoyang died and his performance was so outstanding?
With Shangguan Liuyun's status, he would definitely be able to find out clearly if he wanted to investigate Ye Fan, but he didn't.
He knows Wang Chaoyang, he is not the kind of cautious person.
If Wang Chaoyang finds out that Ye Fan is so unpretentious, he will definitely try his best to invite Ye Fan to join the army. If Ye Fan resists, he will kidnap Ye Fan.
However, the reality is completely opposite. Wang Chaoyang hid Ye Fan until his death in the mission, allowing Ye Fan to return to his true nature and change his destiny through what he learned from him.
Ye Fan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Looking back to the commander, in fact, I did do those bastard things. It's not convenient for me to say more about the specific reasons.
Before going to the Marseille ferry, Mr. Wang asked me to find Mr. Pan and help me in another capacity, but I can't go back to the army!"
Pan Yunhai was stunned, "Hey, I was wondering how could you recognize me? I didn't expect it was Wang Chaoyang's order."
Shangguan Liuyun frowned and asked in a low voice: "In other words, Wang Chaoyang is hiding you, or does he want you to be used by the country?"
"Yes." Ye Fan nodded, his eyes became strange, "Mr. Wang was worried that the old commander would be forced by others, so... he specifically asked me to stay free and secretly help the Eagle!"
"Freedom..."
After Shangguan Liuyun heard this, he laughed loudly, "Wang Chaoyang, you Wang Chaoyang! You signed a confidentiality agreement with me, and you actually revealed so many things to Ye Fan!"
Even so, Shangguan Liuyun was not angry, but was extremely happy.
"Okay, okay. Ye Fan, since Wang Chaoyang promises your freedom, I will no longer force you."
Shangguan Liuyun winked at Pan Yunhai, "From today on, all of Ye Fan's actions will be decided by him.
As an external member of the Confidential Eagle Task Force, he can have all the privileges of a senior member of the special team, but does not need to fulfill the legal obligations of a member of the special team."
Pan Yunhai was shocked, "Old chief, this power is too great, Ye Fan..."
"Go and prepare the files. I have the final say on this matter." Shangguan Liuyun turned to look at Ye Fan and smiled lightly: "Ye Fan, you are the second citizen in the history of our Chinese military to enjoy this honor."
Ye Fan was equally shocked. He was stunned for a while before standing up and saying, "Thank you, old commander!"
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Liuyun changed the topic and said: "But if you want this honor, you must promise me something first."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Old Commander, didn't I already agree to participate in this international military exercise?"
"Is it enough to just participate?" Shangguan Liuyun blinked and smiled like a fox: "You have to bring the Eagle Special Group into the top ten of this international military exercise!"
"Top ten?" Ye Fan suddenly frowned.
Even if the Special Eagle Team is at its peak combat power, it will only be ranked among the top ten in China at most.
Now that the main strength of the team has been basically lost, with the two commandos Ye Fan and Qu Wei, it is difficult to make it to the second round, let alone the top ten in the world.
"Are you confident?"
"I...let's give it a try." Ye Fan thought about it for a moment and did not dare to agree rashly.
"Don't worry, no matter whether you can meet my requirements or not, you don't have to worry about some people in our military region using certain means to restrict your freedom in the future."
Shangguan Liuyun smiled and said: "Of course, if you can do it, the privileges you enjoy will bring you immeasurable benefits."
Ye Fan completely changed his view on Shangguan Liuyun.
The old commander is worthy of being an old commander. Even if he asks for help from others, he can still control his destiny.
Even though he was smiling, he knew that he was now a businessman with a wife and children, so through the highest honor of the Chinese special team, he seduced himself into working for him willingly.
Then again, if Ye Fan can really enjoy the highest treatment as a senior member of the Chinese special team, then the safety guarantee of his family will be greatly improved, and the risk of being kidnapped, attacked, and plotted can basically be eliminated.
Moreover, they can also enjoy the best medical care, education and various hidden benefits in China, which can be said to relieve Ye Fan from all worries.
"Old Commander, I will try my best." Ye Fan replied.
"Very good." Shangguan Liuyun's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Ye Fan, you go back and prepare first. We will set off to the grassland in three days."
"yes!"
Ye Fan gave another military salute and simply walked out of Pan Yunhai's lounge.
