Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Who are they referring to?
When Le Song rushed over to tell them the news, Ye Ning was cultivating soybeans in the experimental field.
There are actually many varieties of soybeans, but they primarily cultivate yellow soybeans because they are more adaptable, have lower cultivation costs, are highly nutritious, and can be perfectly integrated into various ecological environments, offering numerous benefits.
However, because Ye Ning also likes to eat red beans and mung beans, the research institute specially opened up two acres of experimental fields to grow other types of beans.
It is not enough to just complete the cultivation, samples must be collected to further check the quality of this batch of soybeans.
But she wears a "Seed Explorer" badge, which allows her to quickly identify the differences between seeds.
So Ye Ning accurately picked out the soybean seeds that she thought were the best quality and most distinctive from a pile of newly ripe soybeans.
"These will have higher oil yields, higher yields, and greater stress resistance..."
While talking to the researcher, Ye Ning sorted the soybeans he had just taken out into different categories and put labels on them.
The researchers around her were overjoyed, all meticulously recording her findings. While this screening step might seem simple, it significantly reduced the researchers' research time by three or four steps.
Hou Lin and the others standing nearby couldn't tell the difference. They were all the same color and size, yet Ye Ning could accurately pick them out from among the countless soybeans.
Le Song was so anxious that he couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't dare to disturb Ye Ning. By the time Ye Ning finished sorting the soybeans, he was so anxious that he was pacing around.
Ye Ning only then noticed him, "What's wrong?"
When Ye Ning asked this question, everyone around him looked at him.
Le Song looked at the researchers and hesitated for a moment.
The researchers immediately understood, "Master Ye Ning, let's study these seeds first, you guys chat."
After they were all gone, Le Song came to Ye Ning and whispered, "Ye Ning, Ye Ning, Yan Gang appeared."
Everyone:!!!
Hou Lin immediately took a step forward, "What do you mean? Where did he appear? Did he appear alive or dead?!"
Gu Su glanced at Long Qi, but Long Qi looked extremely calm.
Could it be that the last time Yan Gang was injured... it really wasn't Long Qi who did it?
Gu Su lowered his head to check the messages on his bracelet, but he didn't see any new news related to Yan Gang.
Gu Su looked at Le Song and asked, "Where did the news come from? Have you confirmed it?"
Le Song nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure."
"Because he appeared in the Xisha area!"
Hou Lin: ? ?!
This is undoubtedly breaking news.
Le Song continued to tell everyone the latest situation.
Yan Gang was found near the undeveloped new area of Xisha District early this morning. When he was found, he was in quite good condition.
You know, before he was abducted, he was already dying and looked emaciated.
But when he appeared again, he had miraculously recovered his health. Not only was his energy and spirit very good, but even a lot of flesh had grown back on his face.
After the patrolling soldiers discovered him, they immediately reported it to their superiors.
Le Song looked at them and said, "He is now at the military headquarters in the Xisha area. He specifically asked to see Ye Ning and said he had something very important to tell her."
Gu Su subconsciously asked, "Have you told the Capital District?"
Le Song shook his head. "He asked us not to tell anyone else that he's back for now. And he said... after meeting Ye Ning, he'll leave."
Hou Lin looked at Gu Su, "You've been following Yan Gang for a long time, so you should know him well. What's going on?"
You know, Hu Ding, who joined the rebels ten years ago, hasn't appeared in public since. But Yan Gang showed up with such fanfare. Or does he think he's a pure human, and even if he joins the rebels, no one can do anything to him?!
However, if he really wanted to join the rebels, it would be easy for them to take him away given their strength.
Gu Su frowned, "I will only follow him when he goes out."
Gu Su also found it strange. Yan Gang's words made people subconsciously think that... he would return to the rebel camp later.
Long Qi suddenly spoke up, "He's alone, have you checked on him?"
Hou Lin: "Yes, isn't Yan Gang's body already at the end of its strength? How could it be possible that he suddenly got better?"
Le Song: "He showed up alone, but he said the rebels healed him."
Gu Su couldn't believe what Le Song said at all. "But Lord Yan Gang's health was very bad before. His organs had already failed, and he had to take a lot of medicine to barely maintain normal activities."
Hou Lin: "Could it be that the rebels have made some new technological advancements?"
He just couldn't understand how a wild organization, originally composed of orcs who were oppressed and felt unfairly treated, could be given the technical green light all the way.
Ye Ning pondered, "So he has been instigated by the rebels, right?"
Yan Gang had been missing for several months, and according to Le Song, he suddenly appeared in high spirits, and asked to see her by name. It seemed that he had established a deep connection with the rebels.
Tell her something very important, what could it be?
Ye Ning thought of Bai Qing again.
"This might be the closest we'll ever get to the rebels." Ye Ning washed her hands. "I'll go meet him this afternoon."
Of the 100 researchers in the institute, 40 have been sent to various parts of the world.
They were all arranged according to their hometowns, ages, and experiences. Ye Ning wasn't sure if there were any rebels among them. However, she didn't send Cang Hao out because he wasn't very calm and had offended the people in the direct jurisdiction.
Ye Ning was afraid that he would be too arrogant outside, and if someone came to cause trouble for him, he wouldn't be able to go back.
That incident, coupled with their recent promotion of agricultural planting, significantly reduced the amount of tax revenue and resources each district paid to the Federation. He Yang said the people in the Federation were very unhappy and had a tantrum. However, each district was focused on developing its own agriculture and didn't care whether the Federation was angry or not.
For them, the Federation was increasingly in name only. Rather than handing over resources to the Federation and letting them allocate them, they should conduct transactions themselves using the Xisha Islands as a medium.
Because of Ye Ning's presence in Xisha District, the district's status among the other districts has grown day by day. Coupled with Heyang's series of development measures, other districts have developed a deeper and deeper sense of trust in Xisha District.
This also means that they indirectly offend the federal government and the federal territories.
Ye Ning had a good nap at noon. After waking up, she took all the weapons they had prepared for her and set off for the military headquarters.
On the way, they told her about Yan Gang's specific situation.
But there was no useful information because Yan Gang insisted on seeing her before he would speak.
But at this point, Ye Ning was already very clear about one thing.
Yan Gang wanted to persuade her.
Although he could roughly guess some of the content, Ye Ning was still very curious about the following conversation.
She originally thought that the problems in the planting areas in various places were the result of the rebels trying to force her to leave the Xisha area, but if it was them who did it, why did they let Yan Gang appear in the Xisha area?
Both the Federation and the Wandering Orc Alliance were hunting down the rebels. But recently, they couldn't find any trace of them anywhere, and Yan Gang appeared in the Xisha area.
All I can say is that they are really bold and confident.
I just don't know how much Yan Gang knows. And why do he think he can convince her?
As soon as Ye Ning arrived, she saw Hou Sen waiting at the door.
Ye Ning: "Teacher."
When Hou Sen saw her, he rarely smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you in."
The entrance was heavily guarded, but once you went inside, there was no one there.
Hou Sen whispered, "You will not meet in the same room later. We will separate you with transparent glass."
Ye Ning was a little surprised, "Is this necessary?"
Hou Sen nodded. "He's in a very strange state, looking extremely agitated. He's been in here for hours, and hasn't even sat still. But he won't let us examine him, and a simple scan won't reveal any specific information."
Because I want to know more information from him, it is not a good idea to take any coercive measures against him for the time being.
When Hou Sen said this, everyone's hearts were immediately alarmed.
When they reached the door, Hou Sen looked at the others behind Ye Ning and said, "There is a secret room inside. You can go in through another door, but it can only accommodate two people."
Ye Ning looked at them and said, "Long Qi and Cang Chen, come in with me. He can't do anything to me here alone."
Hou Sen nodded. "We're all outside. There are surveillance cameras in the room. If you don't want to talk to him, just come out. Don't worry about anything."
Ye Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry."
The next second, Ye Ning pushed the door open and walked in.
Yan Gang stood there, looking at her from a distance, "You are finally here."
At first glance, Ye Ning could tell that there was something wrong with Yan Gang.
His originally sunken face and bony body now seemed to be filled with flesh and blood, and his whole body became plump, as if he had been reborn.
He had been wearing glasses, but now he had taken them off. The sinister aura had vanished, but neither did the peaceful aura he exuded. His pupils were slightly dilated, as if an uncontrolled light flickered within them.
Ye Ning sat on the chair that had been arranged in advance.
"What do you want to tell me?"
They are actually in an interrogation room now, but both sides are the same, and there is no difference between the prisoners and the interrogators.
Yan Gang suddenly came over, stood on the transparent partition, and looked at her carefully, "Are you okay?"
Ye Ning also looked at him, "Should I be okay?"
An inexplicable emotion flashed in Yan Gang's eyes. "No, that's good. It proves they haven't done anything to you yet."
"That's right. This area is like an iron barrel. Even if they wanted to attack you, they wouldn't find a chance."
Ye Ning: "Who are you talking about?"
Yan Gang laughed, his face full of sarcasm, "Who else do you think it could be?"
Ye Ning really didn't want to play any charades with him here.
She said bluntly: "My time is valuable. If you are not going to tell me the whole story directly, then don't waste our time."
Yan Gang lay on the transparent glass, his eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire, an excitement that was almost crazy.
"It's the Federation. The Federation did everything. They don't want us to survive!"
