He knew exactly who Battalion Commander Hong was; he was the battalion commander in charge of Gao Ren's safety.

Why did he come looking for me?

If someone is coming to cause trouble for me, shouldn't it be Sean?

With a hint of doubt, Alex stood up and straightened his collar, saying...

"Please come in!"

As Battalion Commander Hong entered the office, he was warmly received by Alex.

"Commander Hong, I heard Mr. Gao was attacked at headquarters. How is he doing?"

"Is Mr. Gao injured?"

Seeing the performance on Alex's face, Battalion Commander Hong didn't want to waste words with him and spoke up on his own initiative.

"Thank you for your concern, Lieutenant Alex. General Gao is alright."

"I am here on General Gao's orders to speak with Lieutenant Alex and Lieutenant Steven,"

"Therefore, I would like to ask Lieutenant Alex to invite Lieutenant Steven over."

He was already puzzled, but when he heard that Steven was to be called over, he became even more confused.

Despite his confusion, Alex nodded and said...

"No problem, I'll have someone go and invite him right away!"

"Commander Hong, please wait a moment,"

Five minutes later, Steven walked in.

"Commander Hong,"

In response to Steven's greeting, Battalion Commander Hong smiled and nodded.

"Two people,"

"Another 500 people have just been sent over from China, as you two know,"

"My place is a bit too small; it's already crowded enough to accommodate the original group of people."

"So General Gao means that Lieutenant Alex could take your men and try to squeeze in with Lieutenant Steven's men!"

"Of course, an overcrowded environment can cause some negative emotions among the soldiers,"

"Therefore, General Gao stated that he would donate a subsidy of one hundred US dollars to each soldier every day..."
