Conquest of Taboo and Debauchery

Chapter 170: 170: The Vulnerable Junyi



Driven by concern for his aunt, Ye Fei moved as fast as he could, pushing himself to the limit. Within just three minutes, he reached the valley where the signal had been launched.

Perched on a large tree, Ye Fei surveyed the scene below and immediately frowned. Nearly a hundred special forces members, including his aunt Liu Junyi, were pinned down in a narrow valley. More than twenty soldiers had already been killed or injured, and the rest were in a fierce gunfight with terrorists who remained hidden behind trees.

The special forces hadn\'t managed to hit any of their enemies, and it was clear that they had been ambushed, just like Ye Fei\'s own team earlier.

From his vantage point, Ye Fei quickly spotted Liu Junyi. She was crouched behind a tree, furiously firing her SMG toward the enemy. Her expression was a mix of frustration and helplessness—despite her exceptional combat skills, she couldn\'t charge into the fray for close-quarters combat. The terrorists were well-concealed, and she hadn\'t managed to hit a single one.

Seeing his aunt in such a vulnerable state, Ye Fei\'s anger flared. Letting out a fierce roar, he drew his two massive swords and charged into the enemy ranks. The scene became chaotic as Ye Fei began cutting through the terrorists like a whirlwind, the blades of his swords gleaming as they sliced through men, trees, and even rocks.

Despite having already killed more than 50 terrorists and destroyed countless obstacles earlier, the swords remained as sharp as ever, with not a scratch on them.

The sudden assault threw both sides into confusion. The terrorists were initially too stunned to react, and it wasn\'t until Ye Fei had cut down dozens of them that they started firing back. But, just like before, their bullets either missed completely or had no effect when they hit him.

The terrorists were now in full panic, realizing that they were dealing with something far beyond their comprehension.

Meanwhile, the special forces, seeing this unexpected and powerful reinforcement, were equally shocked. Liu Junyi, recognizing the familiar figure slicing through the enemy lines, was astonished. She knew it was her nephew, Ye Fei, and though surprised by his godlike combat prowess, she also felt an overwhelming sense of pride. With renewed energy, she shouted, "Charge forward!

Kill all those bastards!"

The special forces, who had been holding back, sprang into action. Encouraged by the sight of Ye Fei mowing down terrorists with ease, they spread out, surrounding the remaining enemies. Within five minutes, the gunfire ceased, and the woods fell silent.

Ye Fei, still breathing heavily from the fight, realized something strange. After each battle, his strength seemed to grow, as if his skills and abilities were leveling up like in a video game. After killing so many terrorists, he could feel himself getting even stronger. The thought excited him—if he kept improving like this, who knew what new heights he could reach?

But when Ye Fei scanned the area for any potential rewards, like in a game, he was disappointed. There were no special items or treasures—just the equipment the terrorists had been using. He shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing that reality didn\'t work like a game after all.

As the special forces gathered themselves, those who hadn\'t yet met Ye Fei looked at him with a mix of awe and disbelief. While the Wanghai Special Forces had heard of his sharpshooting skills, no one had expected him to possess such terrifying combat prowess.

Turning his attention back to his aunt, Ye Fei noticed that instead of celebrating their victory, Liu Junyi was looking down at the fallen soldiers with an expression of deep regret. Her eyes were filled with guilt, and it was clear that she blamed herself for the deaths of her team members.

Ye Fei approached her quietly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Aunt, don\'t dwell on it. Let\'s focus on taking our brothers back, whether they\'re injured or lost. We can\'t just leave them here," he said gently.

Liu Junyi nodded, taking a deep breath to steady herself. Forcing her emotions aside, she began issuing orders to gather the bodies and tend to the wounded. The soldiers worked quickly, carrying the fallen onto makeshift-stretchers while checking for any remaining enemies.

Like the terrorists Ye Fei had encountered earlier, those who were still alive committed suicide before they could be captured. Fortunately, after thoroughly checking the battlefield, they discovered that only five of their comrades had died. The others were severely injured but still alive. This gave Liu Junyi some solace.

After sending up a flare to signal for reinforcements, Liu Junyi sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. Ye Fei sat beside her, not sure what to say. He knew she was mourning the loss of her men, and sometimes silence was the best comfort.

"Report, Captain!" a member of the Southeast Special Forces team ran up to Liu Junyi and saluted. "I recognized one of the terrorists."

Liu Junyi\'s eyes widened in surprise. "Do you know which organization he\'s with?"

The soldier shook his head. "Not exactly. But I fought against him about a year ago. Back then, he was part of a mercenary group in Southeast Asia. I almost died fighting him, so I remember him clearly. But I\'m not sure who he\'s with now."

Liu Junyi frowned, finding the information unhelpful. Mercenaries often switched allegiances, and a year was plenty of time for him to join a different group. She waved the soldier away. "Thank you. Rest up. We\'ll sort it out when we get back to base."

After the soldier left, Liu Junyi let out a deep sigh. Resting her head on Ye Fei\'s shoulder, she spoke softly, "I don\'t know if taking on the role of commander-in-chief was the right decision."

"Why would you say that?" Ye Fei asked, sensing a chance to comfort her.

Liu Junyi sighed again. "You warned me before we came here, but I didn\'t take your concerns seriously. And now, this whole mission feels like a mess. If I had kept everyone together instead of splitting us up, maybe this wouldn\'t have happened."

Ye Fei shook his head. "This isn\'t your fault. I warned other people too, and no one believed me. Besides, I was only guessing. I didn\'t have any concrete evidence to back it up." Though he had a basis for his suspicions, Ye Fei downplayed his insight to make his aunt feel better.

Liu Junyi nodded slowly. "But I still don\'t understand who would want to target all of us. What could they gain from wiping out the special forces?"

Ye Fei sighed. "There are a lot of possibilities. Maybe some powerful people want to get rid of the top special forces members to make room for their own people. Or maybe they want to control the special forces units across the country."

Liu Junyi\'s eyes widened. Ye Fei\'s words made too much sense. She hadn\'t considered that angle, but now, the more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. "If only we could\'ve captured one of them alive. We might\'ve been able to get some answers," she said with frustration.

"We\'ll figure it out," Ye Fei reassured her. "We have a lead, and when we find their hideout, we\'ll get to the bottom of this."

Liu Junyi nodded again, a little more hopeful. "You\'re right. Once we regroup, we\'ll stay together from now on. No more splitting up." But as she said this, the weight of her earlier decisions still hung heavily on her, and her mood dipped again.

Ye Fei quickly added, "This wasn\'t your mistake, Aunt. Even if we stayed together, the enemy might have ambushed us anyway, and we\'d be even bigger targets."

Liu Junyi looked confused. "What do you mean?"

Ye Fei explained, "I counted over 200 terrorists in your group and more than 100 in ours. That\'s already more than 300. And this might just be a small part of their forces."

"You were ambushed too?" Liu Junyi asked, surprised. She thought Ye Fei had been following her all along. "Was anyone hurt?"

"Only Uncle Li and one soldier on patrol," Ye Fei replied solemnly. "Uncle Li was injured because of me. But the others are fine."

Liu Junyi sighed in relief, then asked, "How did you know where we were?"

Ye Fei smiled. "Didn\'t you see the signal?"

Realization dawned on Liu Junyi. She understood now why Zhang Qiang had launched a different signal flare. Ye Fei had anticipated this and had taken measures to protect her. Warmth filled her heart as she realized how much he cared. A feeling she hadn\'t felt since her past relationship stirred in her heart again, stronger and more comforting than before.

"Thank you. Xiaoman." Liu Junyi whispered, moving closer to Ye Fei and resting her head against his chest, her arms wrapping around his waist in a tight embrace.

Though Ye Fei had often been hugged by her when he was younger, this time felt different—it carried more meaning.Ye Fei\'s heart raced. He had never held Liu Junyi like this before. His aunt, who always seemed so strong and invincible, now felt delicate and soft in his arms. His pulse quickened, but he knew this was not the time to dwell on it.

Gently, he returned her embrace, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.Smiling softly, he whispered into her ear, "I\'ll protect you for the rest of my life, Aunt. There\'s no need to thank me. We\'re family."

Liu Junyi didn\'t respond immediately, only tightening her grip, resting more comfortably in his arms. She felt an overwhelming sense of safety, something she hadn\'t experienced in years. In the past, she had always been the one protecting others, but now, being cared for by someone so close to her warmed her deeply.

The feeling wasn\'t just comforting—it was something she hadn\'t realized she longed for.

"Yeah..." Liu Junyi murmured softly, whether in response to his words or just enjoying the comfort of the moment, even she wasn\'t sure. All she knew was that, for the first time in a long time, she felt truly at peace. Even though the world around them was still chaotic, in this moment, in his arms, everything felt right.

Ye Fei smiled, feeling the calm settle over them both. He held her close, letting her rest for as long as she needed, promising himself silently that no harm would ever come to her as long as he was there.
