This move left Liu Kai speechless, and he even began to doubt the abilities of Staff Officer Zhong.

The saying goes, "When a general is in the field, he may disobey the emperor's orders."

The friendly forces are engaged in fierce fighting.

Instead of rushing to provide support, you're thinking about reporting?

If Li Yunlong were alive, he probably would have personally led the team out long ago.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Zhong Linyu remained relatively calm.

But the leisure and elegance of continuing the conversation were gone.

Standing up, he looked at Liu Kai and said, "Advisor Liu, it's really bad timing, I'm sorry I can't keep you company any longer. How about I have Yu Dalong show you around, and you can have lunch before you go?"

Liu Kai shook his head slightly: "No, Mr. Ji asked me to meet at noon, so I'll be leaving now."

He didn't try to hide it; instead, he deliberately mentioned Mr. Ji.

I just wanted to see Zhong Linyu's reaction.

really.

When Zhong Linyu heard the words "Mr. Ji," he couldn't help but frown slightly.

It immediately returned to normal.

He didn't say much, but simply led Liu Kai away from the office building.

The oil refinery was in chaos due to a sudden riot in a neighboring city.

Many armed men began to assemble in a hurry.

At this moment, Yu Dalong and his team passed by in front of the building and were stopped by Zhong Linyu.

"Captain Yu, your special operations team doesn't need to participate in this operation. Just guard the base. Oh, and send someone to escort Advisor Liu back."

"Consultant Liu, I won't keep you any longer. Remember to give me an answer within three days."

Liu Kai nodded noncommittally.

He turned and followed Yu Dalong toward the helicopter not far away.

"Advisor Liu!"

Just then, Zhong Linyu spoke again.

Liu Kai turned around in confusion: "Does Staff Officer Zhong have any other instructions?"

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare to give such an order."

Zhong Linyu stepped forward and lowered his voice: "I don't know if Consultant Liu still wants to continue in the business of 'wandering merchant,' but I have to give you a word of advice."

"Please speak, Staff Officer Zhong."

"No matter what you do, and no matter how you think about it, please follow the rules. There are some things you can't touch, and you can't sell, like drugs."

"Don't worry, Staff Officer Zhong, I understand."

After Zhong Linyu finished speaking, he left.

Liu Kai was left alone to ponder.

He realized that he had come for nothing today, because he had no idea what Zhong Linyu's methods were.

Why did you so readily admit that Qin Luofei had done something outrageous?

I just mentioned that things are complicated in Fenghai City and I need to smoke to stay alert.

But what could possibly happen in a small city like Fenghai? Qin Luofei has already taken care of most of it, hasn't she?

Smoking so many cigarettes, are you trying to mask other smells with the smell?

But the warning just now, "Don't sell drugs," seemed to have a hidden meaning.

It seems to be targeting Mr. Ji or even the mutual aid society.

So, is he really a protector?

Yu Dalong arranged for a helicopter to take Liu Kai back, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Kai staring blankly.

He waved his hand, signaling the rest of the team to go first.

Then he walked up to Liu Kai and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything, my mind is just a bit of a mess."

"You didn't ask any random questions upstairs just now, did you?"

Liu Kai shook his head.

"You don't need to think too much. Like I just told you, I think Staff Officer Zhong is fine."

How can you be so sure?

"Hehe, you have the right to know at a mid-level, just check Staff Officer Zhong's file and you'll understand."

Liu Kai didn't ask about the files for the time being.

Instead, she was somewhat curious: "Qin Luofei has always suspected that she hasn't checked the files?"

"She investigated, but women are more suspicious, and she just didn't want to give up on this lead."

"Is that so..."

"Alright, Brother Liu, I really had some issues today and couldn't entertain you properly. I have to go now. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I told you, I owe you my life."

"Hey, why are you saying all this?"

Liu Kai suddenly laughed: "However, there is something I really need your help with."

"you say."

"Could you check the data on AI-powered automatic power supply from Fenghai Power Group? It doesn't need to be too long, just the last month will do."

"You suspect... but that possibility is actually quite small."

"Give it a try, you never know what you might find."

Yu Dalong nodded, turned around, and left.

The helicopter started up, ready to take Liu Kai back.

In fact, Qin Luofei had thought of this before.

That mysterious stadium was equipped with a large number of electric heating devices, and its power consumption was astronomical.

As Yu Dalong said, the possibility is unlikely.

After all, it was during a natural disaster.

If a place consumes too much electricity, it clearly violates the first principle of "ensuring the survival of the vast majority of human beings".

Therefore, the power company's AI will prevent this from happening.

She prefers that the stadium use other power generation methods.

But Liu Kai still wanted to see if there were any clues.

After all, the person who was able to hack into Qin Luofei's military equipment and delete the videos must be a computer expert.

Cracking the AI ​​program is unlikely, but it is possible to deceive it.

...

As the helicopter took off, Liu Kai remembered Yu Dalong's reminder.

Actually, he did consider checking Zhong Linyu's file last night.

However, the query will leave a record.

If there really is something fishy going on above, then this query record represents a risk of exposure.

After their encounter, Liu Kai only had a bad impression of Zhong Linyu.

But I couldn't see anything wrong with him.

With Yu Dalong's assurance, he still took out the military-grade tablet computer.

Verify identity and query data.

Soon after, Zhong Linyu's file appeared densely on the screen.

He is not old, only 37 years old.

However, his resume is remarkably rich, including enlistment, meritorious service, promotion, peacekeeping, special forces, and clandestine missions during his university years...

Some information was even blacked out.

It is classified as "top secret" and is not something Liu Kai has the authority to access.

Of course, Liu Kai didn't care about this person's outstanding achievements.

My gaze remained fixed on the family information section.

Gradually, Liu Kai's expression became complicated.

My doubts about Zhong Linyu are fading...

His father was a narcotics police officer who was exposed and sacrificed his life when he went undercover in a drug trafficking group. Zhong Linyu was 9 years old at the time.

His mother was a university teacher who was shot and killed by a hitman hired by drug dealers.

Seeing this, Liu Kai understood what Zhong Linyu meant by reminding him earlier: it was just a simple reminder.

Moreover, he believed that Zhong Linyu would never let go of the hatred caused by the death of his parents and would collude with those people.

Yu Dalong thought so too.

But clearly, Qin Luofei didn't believe it.

Because she maintains a skeptical attitude towards everything, believing only in reality and evidence.

Furthermore, they believe that human nature cannot withstand the test, and that thinking is not static.

The so-called inability to betray is simply a matter of the enemy not offering enough incentives.

Liu Kai couldn't help but chuckle at this thought.

He and Yu Dalong are men, yet they appear to be very emotional.

Qin Luofei, a woman, appeared remarkably rational.
