Yang Hongchang's smile is very approachable.
It's as if, if he weren't wearing this military uniform, he would look like a simple, honest old farmer in the fields.
He capped the pen in his hand and put it aside, while pointing to the chair in front of his desk.
"Little Liu is here, please have a seat."
Upon seeing this, Liu Kai's initial tension vanished completely.
Without any hesitation, he strode over to the chair in front of his desk and sat down.
Yang Hongchang still had that same smile.
He looked Liu Kai up and down, then suddenly nodded.
"Hehe, not bad, young man, you are full of vigor and spirit, much better than I was when I was young."
Upon hearing this sudden praise, Liu Kai was momentarily speechless.
It felt like I was back in my student days, feeling awkward and helpless when faced with praise from my teacher.
Seeing his expression, Yang Hongchang quickly waved his hand, signaling Liu Kai to relax.
He knew Liu Kai's temperament was such that he responded better to gentle persuasion than force, so he never put on airs of a superior from the beginning.
There was neither an imposing presence nor a cold, serious demeanor.
However, this friendly demeanor, while bringing them closer, also instantly established the difference in their social standing.
It's a very simple difference between elders and juniors.
A person who can rise to the position of general.
Besides being highly capable, he is also shrewd in handling affairs.
This not only lowered Liu Kai's guard but also laid the groundwork for what was to come.
"Xiao Liu, I heard you had a little conflict with that kid Zhong Linyu?"
Liu Kai was taken aback when he heard Yang Hongchang ask about this matter right away.
He didn't quite understand.
There's no real conflict between her and Zhong Linyu.
He's just an "advisor," why would a general have to mediate such a trivial matter in person?
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to ask, Liu Kai knew that the other party must already know everything, so it was best not to lie.
He immediately shook his head.
"It's not so much a conflict as it is a difference in opinion between me and Staff Officer Zhong. But I have no ill will toward Staff Officer Zhong; he is a very...prudent person."
After thinking for a long time, Liu Kai finally managed to utter the word "steady".
Upon hearing those two words, Yang Hongchang was delighted.
"Heh, steady? You mean he's rigid, right?"
Liu Kai's thoughts were exposed, and he awkwardly scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
Yang Hongchang shook his head upon seeing this.
"Xiao Zhong can be a bit rigid at times, but he's still a reliable person."
“He reported to me some time ago about canceling your ‘advisor’ status, but I did not agree.”
"oh?"
Liu Kai didn't expect Yang Hongchang to be so straightforward.
"Don't be so surprised. Although you and Xiao Zhong have different ideas, you both want to do good deeds."
"Our principle is to work closely and cooperatively with the masses, and we allow for different voices."
"Thank you for your understanding, Commander Yang."
Yang Hongchang waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's put this matter behind us and talk about something else."
Liu Kai's spirits lifted; he knew the other party was about to get to the point of this meeting.
"Xiao Liu, I have a question for you. You don't have to answer, but please don't lie, okay?"
"Please ask, Commander Yang."
"Okay! What I want to ask is, have you seen Major Qin Luofei recently?"
After asking the question, Yang Hongchang looked at Liu Kai with a scrutinizing gaze.
But Liu Kai was completely baffled by this question.
See Qin Luofei?
For the past month or so, he has been mining in the mountains and hasn't seen a single living person.
So he decisively shook his head: "I haven't seen Secretary Qin for a long time."
"real?"
"This... Commander Yang, what happened?"
Seeing that Liu Kai's expression didn't seem to be lying, Yang Hongchang's face flashed with disappointment and worry.
"Thank you for your help last time in Hanpu City."
He then changed the subject.
"But since that incident, Major Qin Luofei has never shown her face again, and we have never been able to find her."
Liu Kai was startled: "She didn't go back to the provincial capital?"
He wondered if that stupid woman might have died of illness on her way back to the provincial capital.
Seeing Yang Hongchang shake his head, he lowered his head and pondered for a while.
"Commander Yang, I have never seen her before, but I am very curious, how do you think I have seen her?"
Yang Hongchang spoke calmly, without hiding anything.
"Because our technicians discovered that she had set you as her emergency contact."
"And he was the only contact, blocking all of us."
Liu Kai was even more puzzled: "Is that so? But how does she have the ability to block you all?"
"Of course she has the ability. You've seen the electronic pocket watch she always carries, haven't you?"
Seeing Liu Kai nod in agreement, Yang Hongchang recounted many things in detail.
First, the undercover agents sent by Qin Luofei sent back a video of the Gold-Cutting Cave.
It was Yang Hongchang who instructed Zhong Linyu to delete it.
Later, it was also he who issued a transfer order, bringing Qin Luofei back to the provincial capital to stay under his nose.
It was because of this incident that Qin Luofei began to become suspicious.
They lost trust in the entire military.
Some even suspect that Yang Hongchang is the protector behind the "Survival of the Fittest Biotechnology Group".
Yang Hongchang's purpose in doing so was quite simple.
One approach is to cast a long line to catch a big fish.
Secondly, Qin Luofei's personality was too stubborn, and he didn't want her to be too involved in this matter.
The root cause is actually quite dramatic:
Many people investigating this matter have been inexplicably assassinated, and it is suspected that the mysterious group was behind it.
Qin Luofei's father and Yang Hongchang were sworn brothers.
