That's the logic.
But both of them are currently angry and unable to calm down and think things through.
"Alright! Staff Officer Zhong, I won't argue with you any further!"
“I didn’t want this ‘advisor’ position at first, but you insisted on giving it to me. Now you want to take it back based on your personal preference.”
"Changing policies frequently is unacceptable!"
"You can apply to your superiors to have it reclaimed, but if you want me to hand it over voluntarily..."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Liu Kai felt that there was no point in talking to each other, so he said a few words and turned to leave.
Such blunt words made Zhong Linyu's chest heave violently with anger.
Seeing that Liu Kai had already turned around and walked to the door to leave.
He quickly suppressed his anger and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Liu Kai turned around, looking impatient.
"Oh? Does Staff Officer Zhong have any further instructions?!"
Zhong Linyu took a long breath and completely calmed down.
"Do you know how the video that Secretary Qin received was deleted?"
He didn't keep them in suspense and confessed directly, "I helped delete it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai stared in surprise.
Before he could speak, Yu Dalong exclaimed in disbelief, "What?!"
Zhong Linyu turned his head and glanced at him: "Don't be so surprised, Captain. Do you think I don't know about your agreement with Secretary Qin?"
Then she looked at Liu Kai.
"You think I didn't know that Secretary Qin used binary code to leave you a USB drive?"
"That video was deleted by hackers from the mutual aid society. I had turned off the military firewall's blocking function beforehand, so they succeeded on purpose."
Although Liu Kai was quite angry with Zhong Linyu, it was because of their different views.
He never doubted Zhong Linyu.
Hearing this frank confession now, it seems I understand something: "Is this what the higher-ups want?"
Zhong Linyu nodded: "Consultant Liu is so smart, he should be able to guess the higher-ups' plans, right?"
"fishing..."
"Good, play the long game."
"Secretary Qin is too fixated on punishing the crimes in front of him and only wants to investigate from the bottom up."
"But this only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. Only by sweeping away the problems from top to bottom can we achieve a permanent solution."
"It is undeniable that sometimes following the rules is less efficient, but it can minimize the chances of going down the wrong path."
"Once you're heading in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the more wrong you become!"
This time, Liu Kai did not refute, because he also tended to go from top to bottom.
Taking action against the mutual aid society could certainly save many suffering survivors.
But for the real mastermind, this is at most like a gecko losing its tail.
Aside from alerting the enemy, it serves no other purpose.
Seeing Liu Kai's agreement, Zhong Linyu sighed slowly: "I'm not a bad person, and I always judge things by their nature, not by their character."
"I apologize for my attitude just now, but I still have reservations about your identity and will report and apply to my superiors."
Liu Kai doesn't actually care about this identity.
He just didn't want to be made a fool of.
He shrugged indifferently: "Do as you please."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhong Linyu called out again, "Advisor Liu, you could actually consider joining us."
Liu Kai didn't even turn his head, waved his hand, and disappeared into the night.
He only left behind a light laugh: "Hehe, we'll talk about it later."
...
The snowmobile ran out of power, but Liu Kai's running speed was no less than that of the vehicle.
I'll just treat it as exercise.
After a 20-minute drive, we finally arrived at the multi-level parking garage.
Liu Kai immediately scanned the surroundings but found no new footprints or traces nearby.
It seems that Ji Zihan and Ma Yongxing have ruled out any suspicions about him.
Furthermore, the tracker installed under the snowmobile could not withstand the low temperatures for long and its battery had run out and stopped working.
They removed the tracker and randomly found a car to put it in.
After loading the snowmobile into the storage space, we returned to the long-lost bunker.
Just as he had just told Yu Dalong, Liu Kai believed he had done all he could.
As for the "Survival of the Fittest Biotechnology Group" conducting human research...
Firstly, the group's headquarters are located in the provincial capital, making it difficult for them to exert their influence.
Secondly, since the authorities have already taken action, there's no need for him to get involved.
Tonight, we'll fully charge the snowmobile and motorcycle; tomorrow, we'll continue mining up the mountain.
After all, he had a premonition that spatial abilities were about to undergo a qualitative change.
But the most important thing right now is to fill our stomachs.
Liu Kai spends all his time wandering around and has never had a proper hot meal.
Take out a table full of hot food and enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal.
Wash away your fatigue, snuggle into the warm blankets and fall into a deep sleep.
Recently, Liu Kai has been having fewer and fewer dreams.
Correspondingly, sleep quality is getting better and better.
I slept until 9 a.m., and it's time to start another day full of energy.
Both vehicles are fully charged and ready to go.
Just as Liu Kai was preparing to set off...
But then his phone received another message from Da Long.
"I hope nothing bad has happened again."
Liu Kai stared at his phone in confusion, muttering to himself.
Opening the message, the dense text on his phone made his expression complicated.
Something really happened!
...
Rewind to 7 a.m., when Liu Kai was still asleep.
An unexpected guest arrived at the gate of the seaside oil refinery: Ji Zihan!
He was wearing a black overcoat and driving alone, claiming he had come to apologize to Zhong Linyu.
There was a corpse lying inside the car!
