Old Man Zhan smiled when he heard that Yan Aohan would be involved. Over the years, Yan Aohan rarely appeared in public, yet everyone in high positions, young or old, avoided him. There was no other way; Yan Aohan was too ruthless. Everyone knew there were three national-protecting families that had existed for thousands of years.
The Yan family excelled in combat, the Yang family in strategy, and the Zheng family in wealth. However, with the emergence of the monster Yan Aohan, the Yans had used various methods to force the Yang and Zheng families into submission. They no longer dared to interfere in external affairs. It was said this was the result of negotiations between the old head of the Yan family and Yan Aohan. Originally, Yan Aohan had wanted to wipe them out completely, leaving no trace in history.
After receiving the news, Old Man Zhan went to notify Zhu Shun Yao. Naturally, Old Man Yun went to speak with Yan Aohan about the matter.
Yan Aohan looked at Old Man Yun after hearing his request, a hint of mockery appearing on his face. "Tell me, what do you people in power actually do? You couldn't even arrange things properly for those veterans. Now that someone is willing to help them, you still find ways to make things difficult for them."
Old Man Yun felt truly wronged. "How am I making things difficult? I told you this only because I wanted you to step in and protect them."
Yan Aohan looked deeply at Old Man Yun before speaking. "Isn't that making things difficult? When soldiers retire, the state should arrange their jobs. It is because those below act recklessly, and you above pretend to be deaf and dumb, that so many people are left without work. Some even had their rightful jobs stolen. Fortunately, our soldiers are reasonable and do not wish to trouble you. Otherwise, if they all came to cry to you, I doubt you could even keep your position as Marshal."
"If they cry to me, I will go cry to the Boss," Old Man Yun said, feeling he was not to be bullied.
"Heh. If you have such great ability, why don't you step forward?" Yan Aohan strongly disagreed with Old Man Yun's approach. "Hesitation leads to chaos. I think you truly lack the simplicity and passion of the Zhu family. The Zhu family knows the difficulties of those veterans, while you pretend to be blind and deaf. It is shameful to speak of it."
"Don't criticize us. You know it is not that we are unwilling, but that we simply cannot help it. I am coming to you now not just for the Zhu family's sake," Old Man Yun said helplessly. He did not wish to watch this happen, but even with his power, he could not control the selfishness of so many people.
Yan Aohan spoke seriously. "I will take over this matter. From now on, you are not allowed to target them. Once they are in my hands, it is impossible for you to take them back. I will not be polite about this." It was better to state things clearly upfront. Yan Aohan did not want anyone to try and reap the benefits later.
"If I am doing it, I never intended to take them back. I only hope the veterans have a place to go," Old Man Yun said. He knew well that handing everyone over to Yan Aohan was not ideal, but there was no other choice. In this world, the only person he could trust was Yan Aohan, because Yan Aohan disdained everything this country offered. "Do you have any other demands? Let me say this first: I will not agree to anything excessive."
