Chapter 41: The Separation of Two People
The middle-aged man said, “Blue Star is not a first-class resource star, it is very poor. There are 187,652 registered residents, and the annual output value of the planet is only about 4 billion credits.”
The annual output value is only about 4 billion credits- if compared to the annual output of other planets, it would be clear that the planet was poor. This amount may be a very large one to an average civilian but when measuring an entire federation, it was simply not worth mentioning.
4 billion, distributed to 200,000 people, how much could one person earn in a year? It would only be about 20,000 credits… It’s good enough to barely maintain expenses in food and clothing.
The annual output value is just that, the tax revenue collected that year… According to the federal tax law- a planet with such a low annual output value, based on protection measures, the average tax should not exceed one percent.
That is to say, the annual tax is only 4 Billion Yuan- this amount of money, in the eyes of the top ten families would be the income of an ordinary merchant in the federation. For a planet to have this low of an annual tax income…
What a poor planet, was Ye Heng not concerned about his future? Su Mingzhen had seen Ye Heng grow up. He didn’t know anything about this kid, but he knew of his temper.
He is the most stable, decisive and alert, but he is also extremely capable. Although he is supported by his family, he has climbed to the position of Major General at such a young age and his talents cannot be underestimated.
Su Mingzhen asked again, “Is there any reason to suspect Ye Heng?”
The middle-aged man paused and hesitated for a while before saying, “I found some things that could raise some eyebrows.”
Su Mingzhen raised an eyebrow, and sure enough, asked, “What is it then?!”
The middle-aged man answered, “According to the report of our spies, Ye Heng seems to have fallen for a man, and this man is the resident of the Blue Star. Ye Heng is always together with him- they eat and live together and seem inseparable, it seems as if he was the reason Ye Heng chose that territory”
Su Mingzhen frowned, was it actually because of this kind of thing? He had doubts in his heart and asked, “What is the background of the man?”
The middle-aged man said, “His name is Yuan Xi. He is twenty-four years old this year,a local resident of Blue Star whose parents died early. Because of a passenger ship accident, Yuan Yucheng and his wife were rescued by him by accident, and he recognized them as his parents after a while. With their savings, they bought a farm where the operation is very good, and in the Blue Star, they are also considered a rich household.”
“Yuan Yucheng? The second son of Yuan Sirui?”
The middle-aged man respectfully said, “Yes.”
Su Mingzhen’s memory is very good. He actually has never seen Yuan Yucheng, but he clearly remembers the people of the top ten families. The Yuan family’s mess, he also knows well, if Yuan Yucheng went to the Blue Star and does not want to return to Beijing Star, then he truly understands why.
It’s just that Yuan Xi actually recognized such a pair of parents, his luck is really good.
Su Mingxuan asked again, “How did this Yuan Xi meet Ye Heng?”
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, “A year and a half ago, Major General Ye patrolled the stars with the Grand Marshal. He travelled to the 9871 star field and had a chance to meet with Yuan Xi. The two had a relationship, and then, for unknown reasons, Yuan Xi left without telling the other. Ye Heng was always looking for him until he found Yuan Xi again a few days ago, and then began to pursue him fiercely. At that time, Major General Ye applied for the right to the territory of the 9871 star field. Now, Major General Ye seems to be staying in the Blue Star.”
The middle-aged man paused and looked up at Su Mingzhen, and then said, “Blue Star’s governor Lu Sen almost accidentally injured Yuan Yucheng. The general made a big move for Yuan Xi, and Lu Sen was removed from his position and sent to a prison star. Yuan Xi grew up in the Blue Star and was very dependent on his hometown. Major General seems to intend to settle in the Blue Star and set it as his own administrative star. He has already begun to handle the re-immigration of the residents of Blue Star.”
Su Mingzhen blinked and didn’t speak.

Su Mingzhen reigned in his expression of surprise. Although he was a little surprised, this kind of thing has been seen since ancient times, but it is very rare.
He thought about it and told him, “Give me the information and pass it onto me- we won;t have to travel to the Blue Star.”
The middle-aged man whispered, “Yes sir.”
After the middle-aged man left, Su Mingzhen looked at the door- his black eyes were deep, and there was no emotion on his face, but his heart was turning over a thousand times.
His withdrawal of his people does not mean that he is not suspicious of Ye Heng. On the contrary, he is even more suspicious. However, it is meaningless to arrange people to guard at this time.
This information is either true or false. If it is true, there is no harm to him. If it is false, it can only show that Ye Heng has begun to guard against him, and even knows that he is concerned about him in secret.
In this case, if he continues to listen to these messages, he will only be blindfolded and miss important things.
Su Mingzhen sighed- how cunning the Ye family is, he has a few words to say in his heart. Ye Heng chose the 9871 Star Field and his real purpose was yet to be uncovered but he can appreciate the fact that he has done so publicly. The Ye family is the biggest threat to his position and he wants to keep an eye on all of them.
Ye Heng needed to return to Beijing Star. Yuan Xi expected that he would need to do so but he did not expect it to be so fast.
Ye Heng said, “I wanted to bring you back with Xiao Yuan Zhe, but during the recent election, the Beijing Star has become too chaotic, and I will be busy these days. If you were there, I would not be assured of your safety as long as I am not by your side.”
Yuan Xi nodded. He already understood the meaning of Ye Heng, but since Ye Heng explained it specifically, it made him feel very comfortable and secure.
Seeing that Yuan Xi was in a good mood, Ye Heng was not happy, “I am leaving, are you quite happy?”
“Of course.”
Ye Heng raised his eyebrows while Yuan Xi bent his eyes.
Ye Heng ‘angrily’ said, “It seems that your husband is not strong, Yuan Xi is getting more and more arrogant.”
Yuan Xi had no time to correct the problem of his husband’s words as he quickly wanted to escape. Unfortunately, facing the real-life Major General Ye, Yuan Xi had a slightly lower combat power. After ten seconds, he was pressed against the wall.
Trying to tame the flame before it got too hot, Yuan Xi quickly resisted, “Ye… Ye Heng…”
Ye Heng buried his head into his neck. Yuan Xi felt like he was rushing through a stream of electric current. He watched as Ye Heng’s hand began to touch down, and Yuan Xi quickly pressed down on him.
Ye Heng’s action paused, and he forcefully calmed his body down. His hands locked unto the other’s waist, and he pressed hard and said with a calm voice, “Let’s get some rest early.”
Yuan Xi nodded, and Ye Heng left.
When the door closed, Yuan Xi took a deep breath, turned and rushed to cool down before laying back on the bed and hugging his son to sleep.
As for Ye Heng- considering the timing, he knew that they couldn’t, not when his soldiers were waiting for him.
The next day, Yuan Xi got up early in the morning, but Ye Heng just came back from the outside. Yuan Xi didn’t ask much, turned and went to the kitchen. After a while, the family’s breakfast was ready.
Yuan Yucheng also entered the house. Since he moved to the farm, he went to run a lap every morning. He exercised his body and went to see the farm at the same time.
Lin Suyun was waiting for Xiao Yuan Zhe to get up. This guy is the happiest when he first opens his eyes in the morning. He often likes to laugh and loves to talk. Sometimes he talks non-stop, pushes himself up in his bed and looks around as if he was having a lot of fun.
However, when it is time to wash his face, the little one is not happy. He was obviously already white, tender, and beautiful- he doesn’t need to wash his face! As soon as they start, tears start clouding the little guy’s face and if she were too slow then he would cry, full of grievances. Yuan Xi is always so distressed when he hears him crying so he was not the one assigned to washing the little one’s face in the morning.
After the family had eaten breakfast, Ye Heng explained to Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun that he had to return to Beijing Star. The two had no objections, instead they laughed and responded positively to his plans.
Ye Heng was to leave in the morning, and before he left, he grabbed Yuan Xi in the house and kissed him. Yuan Xi was also surprised by him.
After kissing Yuan Xi, Ye Heng turned his head and went to kiss his son. Xiao Yuan Zhe did not know that Ye Heng had to leave. These days, he seemed to be even more familiar with Ye Heng as his enthusiasm remained undiminished every time he saw him, asking for a hug all the time.
Ye Heng said something to tease him and played with him for a while- the little one also babbled to him baby talk as he nibbled on his collar, played with his uniform’s buttons- it was as if he was also reminding his father to come back early and to be careful on the road.
The family is incredibly happy.
By about 10 o’clock, Ye Heng finally left, and Yuan Xi’s heart felt a bit lost.
He and Ye Heng had not known each other for too long, but after meeting one another again, they barely separated. Them being together feels so natural that he had taken it for granted so he will be a bit uncomfortable now.
Yuan Xi could not help but shake his head and get rid of these messy thoughts. He still has a lot of things to do!
*
Ye Heng returned to Beijing Star and it was indeed as busy as he predicted. The election was held in Beijing Star so the important figures of other main planets were here- their numbers huge. The safety of Beijing Star’s outer space has become a top priority.
Although the location of the star field of Beijing Star and the security deployment of outer space are already one of the most advanced in the whole of the Federation, at this time, there will still be some people who have thoughts of making chaos making moves- they must guarantee that none of them succeed.
Back to Beijing Star, Ye Heng didn’t get back to the Ye family’s mansion until the next day.
Not only was Ye Heng busy, Father Ye was also busy with all kinds of entertainment, reception, meeting, various itinerary arrangements for the varying guests and politicians that have arrived..
That evening, the father and the son agreed to go home together, because every night of this month, the family will go back to the big house to eat.
This is the rule of the Ye Family. Anyone who is in Beijing, no matter how busy, must come back together to gather and have a meal.
As usual, Ye Heng was stationed in different places all the year round, and Ye Rong was often not at home. Ye Hao only just took Ye Huai back. But this time it was different- Ye Heng was at home, and Ye Rong was back. It was rare to be complete so the family went back to the big house together.
They didn’t come late, but Ye Tian arrived with her son and daughter early.
The rumors about the appearance of Ye’s family are true. Ye Tian and Ye Wei have seven or eight portraits on their appearance, but he has always been outside, growing up in the army, and compared with the temperament of Father Ye- he is a lot rougher and when he stares straight at people, he looks like a fierce beast ready to pounce.
Because of his position, he is used to giving orders, and it is inevitable that he will be overbearing in his style of work.
He married the eldest daughter of the Kalilan family. Mel Kallilan is a blond and beautiful woman. Her temperament is soft so she is always listening to her husband, Ye Tian. Although she lacks some opinions, it is also good for her to be passive. Ye Tian’s overbearing personality is very consistent so the husband and wife are both harmonious.
However, Ye Tian has been fighting outside for years, and there are not many times when he is at home. Mel’s heart complains, but she knows Ye Tian’s character and never says anything. She just silently guards her one son and one daughter, because their father is not here.
Ye Tian’s son is two years older than Ye Heng, but their abilities are too far apart.
It is not that Ye Jin is not doing good. On the contrary, Ye Jin is very hard on himself and tries his best to improve. Although Mel likes to support and spoil him, he never used his family connections to suppress others. He also entered the army and started as an ordinary soldier just as his father did. Although he is also a general in title, it was different from Ye Heng’s Major General title.
Ye Tian’s daughter and Ye Rong are of the same age, and they are also both single. The daughter looked more like her mother, blond and gentle- she has few of the Ye family’s characteristics. Because she was raised to be a young lady, she was unfamiliar with Ye Rong’s rough housing and was usually embarrassed of her.
Of course, this dissatisfaction is also related to some of the little frictions of their childhood.
However, the Ye Family’s education is excellent. Although Ye Rong has always been informal, she does not act so when she returns to the main house, she puts on a meticulous dress, and then with the delicate eyebrows, she assumes the manners of a high-born woman. However there is still the sense of freedom and carefreeness in her every move.
Everyone met each other and dinner started.
The Ye family patriarch was a great soldier in his early years, but now he is old, and the murderousness of the whole body has retreated a lot. When he looks at his children and grandchildren, the smile on his face does not stop.
His sons and daughters and grandchildren are obedient and sensible. Their meal is delicious and harmonious. The family is happy.
After the meal, Ye Tian said to Ye Heng, “Xiao-Heng, come over.”
Ye Heng replied, “Okay, uncle.”
Ye Jin, who was accompanied by Father Ye, looked at them inadvertently.
