Ye Hao noticed it too, and suddenly had a thought in his heart, a thought that excited him just by thinking about it.

That is to create a team of his own. Although it wouldn't be international like Lin Tian's, Ye Hao thought it would be great if his own team could be effective within Huaxia. For instance, if something special happened, or if Ye Hao was in trouble, could they rush to the scene in time?

Plus, he currently has many people in his hand with National Martial Arts in the second or third stage, and apart from himself, there's one in the fourth stage, who is Zhang Hua, a former brother of Li Yi. Now he has joined Ye Hao, adjusted his mindset, and always followed Li Yi's lead, listening to whatever Li Yi said.

The reason he can continue to live and avoid the suffering of prison is thanks to Li Yi. He used to live a life devoid of feelings and loyalty within the organization, but now with Ye Hao, he feels warmth, with brotherly mutual affection, without much distrust.

He really likes this kind of life and hopes it continues. He also wants to repay Ye Hao.

Although Ye Hao has this idea, the number of people is a bit small, and once you apply, the number is fixed. Besides, Ye Hao thought that even if he applied, only Lin Tian could actually apply on his behalf, because only Lin Tian had such qualifications. He is a tycoon, naturally, he would apply for a team to protect his family.

Besides, Lin Tian has connections in both the military and political circles, so his application would be much simpler.

However, the teammates... Ye Hao pondered for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his face showed a joyful expression.

Ye Hao took out his phone and dialed Yip Man's number. After the call connected, Yip Man cheerfully greeted him.

"Hao, how are things in Peng City?"

"Mr. Ye, not bad. Is Long still at home?" Ye Hao directly asked.

"Yes, yes, he's still there. Call the home number!" Then Yip Man revealed the number for the Ye Family, one of the top five families in Huaxia's political arena.

Ye Hao took the number without question and dialed directly.

...

In Yanjing, an ancient courtyard divided into six side court yards and a main hall. The hall usually has nannies, but for some reason today, they all went to the side courts.

"Ringing!"

The bell in the hall rang urgently, but with no one there, no one answered the phone.

"Ringing!"

Minutes later, Ye Hao dialed again.

At this moment, a dignified middle-aged man walked out from the eastern side court yard, with thick eyebrows, a broad forehead, and short hair cut flat, looking very cautious, carrying a black briefcase. Upon hearing the ringing from the hall, he frowned slightly.

Why is there no nanny in the hall now?

Hence, he went inside, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello!" The middle-aged man's voice was authoritative, solemn, and left no room for disrespect.

Ye Hao was startled but instinctively stood up straight upon hearing this voice, and spoke out: "Hello, I'd like to speak to Ye Long."

The person on the other end hesitated upon hearing Ye Hao's voice, then adjusted his tone and asked, "Are you Ye Hao?"

"Yes. Is Ye Long available?" Ye Hao nodded, but wondered why that authoritative voice suddenly changed, and why he knew his name?

There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by a thoughtful smile as he replied: "Ye Long and his sister were bullied in Yanjing, I'm told those who bullied them are from the military district, even stronger than Ye Long, and even forced Ye Long's sister to drink a glass of rice wine. Right now, they might be in the yard hitting the sandbags to vent."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao was furious; who the hell dares to bully my brothers?

"Is this true?" Ye Hao coldly asked.

"It's true!" The middle-aged man on the other end repeated, his smile growing wider.

"Damn it, I'm going to deal with them now, see who the hell dares to bully my brothers." Ye Hao directly hung up the phone, not caring who the person was.

On the other end, the man smiled triumphantly, thinking now there's something interesting to watch.

After hanging up, Ye Hao spoke to Lin Tian, who expressed his understanding though unsure what Ye Hao was up to in Yanjing, who he knows there?

"Alright then, take care, call me if there's anything; if others won't back you, I will." Lin Tian stated firmly.

"Keep an eye on Ruyu, Lin. I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Ye Hao finished speaking, didn't return to the villa to bid farewell to Lin Ruyu, directly drove a yacht to the seaside near Peng City Airport and let the Golden-winged Dolphin pull the yacht back.

While he hurriedly arrived at Peng City Airport to buy tickets.

After purchasing and waiting for over an hour, around noon a plane headed for Yanjing, and Ye Hao was on that flight.

Ye Hao arrived at Yanjing airport after three in the afternoon. After getting off the car, he contacted Yip Man, as he genuinely didn't know where Yip Man was.

After understanding where the Ye Family's courtyard was, Ye Hao headed toward it.

At this moment, Ye Long was powerfully punching a sandbag in the side courtyard. Behind him stood a girl about seventeen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, her pure face matched with a devilish figure, making her casual attire appear breezy.

"Long, stop hitting it. Wait until you're stronger and then go bully him," the girl said, her worried eyes red as she looked at Ye Long, whose hands were already skinned from the punches.

The maids also persuaded, "Mr. Long, please stop hitting it. The young lady is crying in worry."

"Don't mind me. I need to break through. I must break through to the third stage. I need to show him I can protect my siblings." Ye Long was crazy, he hadn't forgotten how he was humiliated this morning when he went out with Ye Qingcheng and his cousins.

Both families are top-notch in Huaxia, only they hold power in the military while the Ye Family is rooted in politics.

The reason Ye Long was so angry was that someone said that, as the eldest young master of the Ye Family's new generation, he couldn't protect his siblings and was bullied.

He was indeed bullied today when Hou Zhi, the third young master from the Hou Family, led some thugs to the street. Ye Long, taking his siblings for a stroll, was seen by Hou Zhi, who tried to flirt with Ye Qingcheng, who had grown increasingly beautiful. Ye Long, displeased, wanted to hit him, but ended up being beaten.

Getting hit was one thing, but Ye Qingcheng was forcibly coerced into drinking a glass of rice wine, causing her to cry from the bullying.

And Ye Long was helplessly unable to resist, only watching his sister be bullied, though she was a cousin. Being the eldest young master, he was supposed to protect his siblings, or else others would laugh at him.

The older or middle-aged generations never interfere with the younger ones' quarrels; if they're bullied, they must find a way themselves.

However, Ye Long had always lived abroad as a mercenary and was unfamiliar with the other family young masters. He could only rely on his own abilities, as no one would offend Hou Zhi, the third young master of the Hou Family, for him.

Not to mention the residual influence of the old patriarch of the Hou Family, today's patriarch is even a general, and the Hou Family's military influence is immense.

A few good seeds have emerged in the young generation, like Hou Zhong, the eldest young master of the Hou Family, aged thirty-five, with a National Martial Arts level of five; Hou Bing, the second young master, aged thirty, level four; and today's Hou Zhi, aged twenty-five, level three.

With these three in the Hou Family's young generation, whoever wanted to help Ye Long should think twice.

"Long, Qingcheng isn't crying anymore. Qingcheng doesn't want you like this." Ye Qingcheng watched Ye Long punching the sandbag harder, feeling more distressed.

"No, all of you leave. I need to break through." Ye Long shouted angrily as his mother anxiously watched him from inside the house.

"Sister-in-law, what's with this child?" Ye Long's mother asked the beautiful woman standing with her, feeling anxious inside.

"It's fine, it's not bad for young people to face setbacks." The beautiful woman was Liu Su, the wife of the current patriarch of the Ye Family, possessing tremendous and unfathomable strength. In Yanjing, Huaxia, few can rival her.

She just didn't want to be ostentatious. She had been keeping a low profile for decades, content to be the woman behind the current patriarch of the Ye Family.

"But..." Just as Ye Long's mother was about to continue speaking, two security guards entered.

"What are you doing?" One of the maids asked.

"It's like this, someone named Ye Hao is outside looking for Ye Long. Does Long know him?" Though the guards didn't belong to the Ye Family, they knew it was a powerful family and spoke respectfully even to a maid.

"What? My brother's here?" Ye Long turned to look at the guard, seeing him stunned, he shouted, "Hurry and invite my brother in."

The two security guards nodded repeatedly and left.

In the room, the beautiful woman obviously trembled slightly at the mention of "Ye Hao," her eyes turned red instantly, but only for a moment before she controlled it with her Inner Breath.

Ye Hao was respectfully invited into the hall by the guards, while Ye Long, who had washed himself, sat in the hall with Ye Qingcheng and others.

Ye Hao came in and saw a scar on Ye Long's mouth and his flushed right cheek. He instantly burst into anger, walking over and shouting, "Who the hell hit you? Damn it, take me to him."

Ye Hao's words made Ye Long feel comfortable, warming his heart. That's his brother, ready to stand up for him without even asking who the opponent was.

Ye Qingcheng also looked at Ye Hao who walked in, and for some reason, Ye Hao looked like a father to her...

"Hao." Ye Long, touched, punched Ye Hao twice.

"What's going on? They're bullying my brother, why didn't you say anything? Do you think I wouldn't stand up?" Ye Hao glared fiercely at Ye Long.

Ye Long awkwardly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Hao, I can handle this myself, don't get involved."

"If you consider me your brother, take me to beat that bastard, or I'll never set foot in this damn courtyard again." Ye Hao snorted coldly.

At this moment, an old man being supported came from the backyard. Hearing this, he paused...(To be continued.
