At this moment, Qin Luofei's gaze fell on Liu Kai.
The two were very in sync; Liu Kai actually read two meanings from that pitiful look in her eyes.
The first implication is undoubtedly that they hope he will take on the rescue mission.
The second meaning is more subtle.
Could it be that Ouyang Wenlian is his love rival?
Meeting Liu Kai's questioning gaze, Qin Luofei nodded helplessly.
Liu Kai was speechless. What kind of ridiculous and absurd arrangement was this?
Seeing his expression, Yang Hongchang looked completely in control.
He took another sip of hot tea, unhurriedly.
"Don't worry, Consultant Liu, Ouyang Wenlian is a person who can distinguish between what's important and what's not."
As for the reward for the mission...
"This is indeed a task assigned to someone else, but you don't care about those rewards."
"So I declined on your behalf."
Liu Kai looked completely bewildered. What do you mean by turning it down for me?
Even if the reward is a promotion or a raise, I should be the one to refuse it, right?
However, Yang Hongchang's next words directly changed his mind.
"But I've given you some 'top secret' information in my private capacity, about Japan's largest nuclear fuel storage facility."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai's eyes lit up.
He swallowed his complaints.
He originally planned to go directly to the "Shuanai" nuclear power plant, which is more than 1,300 kilometers away.
However, a nuclear power plant can only store a limited number of fuel rods.
If it were a dedicated storage location, the situation would be much better.
Liu Kai's excitement lasted only a moment.
Then he immediately put on a suspicious expression.
"Commander Yang, such an important place must be well-guarded, right?"
"Of course, but with your abilities, are you really afraid of the guards?"
Looking at Yang Hongchang's smiling face, Liu Kai felt that something was off.
So he cautiously said, "Then I'd appreciate it if Commander Yang could give me the location of the warehouse and the distribution of the surrounding troops."
"Hey~ no rush!"
Yang Hongchang waved his hand and spoke slowly in a deliberate tone.
"Xiao Liu, there's something in that warehouse that I'd like you to 'bring' back for me."
"Uh... what is that?"
"Information that the Japanese are secretly building nuclear bombs."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai completely lost his composure.
"What the hell?!"
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and you could feel his anger rapidly building up.
He knew things weren't that simple!
Adding a rescue mission was bad enough, but now they've added an intelligence-stealing mission.
You can't just add weight on the spot like that.
Thank goodness I didn't agree to enlist, otherwise I don't know how I would have been treated like a slave.
Even Qin Luofei, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes when she heard this arrangement.
How come I didn't realize before that Uncle Yang was so cunning, putting this silly boy to work hard here?
Liu Kai was furious, his stubborn temper flaring up instantly.
He immediately channeled Li Yunlong's spirit, stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly.
"No, no, no! There has to be an explanation for everything, why do you always try to raise the price on the spot?"
Seeing that Yang Hongchang remained unmoved, Liu Kai gradually calmed down as well.
He sat back down in his chair, crossed his legs, and clasped his hands.
"Commander Yang, you have to give me an explanation, otherwise I won't bother going to Japan."
Seeing Liu Kai's displeasure, Qin Luofei quickly chimed in to his defense.
"Yes, Commander Yang, Advisor Liu is not a member of the military after all, so it is inappropriate to arrange this for him without compensation."
"Hehe, so you two are already acting like a married couple?"
Even when interrogated by the two men, Yang Hongchang remained calm and composed.
He looked at Liu Kai with a calm gaze.
“I won’t try to fob you off with any rhetoric about national righteousness or national security; I’ll just give you a few figures.”
"How much fuel rods do you think a nuclear power plant has in its inventory?"
Seeing that Liu Kai did not answer, he continued, "The fewest are six hundred, and the most are no more than fifteen hundred."
"But that warehouse contains at least six figures worth of fuel rods!"
"There may even be a clandestine production of highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons."
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai's expression softened slightly.
Yang Hongchang paused and then added, "Everyone has their own secrets. I won't ask you why you're looking for radioactive materials."
"But in order to obtain information about that warehouse, the higher-ups have already paid a heavy price, with no fewer than 10 undercover agents sacrificing their lives."
"I believe such a large quantity is worth your time, don't you think?"
These words touched on his fundamental needs.
They weren't particularly interested in the official promotion and salary increase rewards.
This mission is probably not that important, so it's unlikely that they'll be able to extort another set of enhancement potions.
Therefore, nuclear fuel is the optimal choice.
That's hundreds of thousands of fuel rods!
If you could use it all at once, to what extent would your spatial abilities be enhanced?
It saves time and effort, eliminating the hassle of running around searching.
Liu Kai was angry just now only because he was suddenly given an extra weight.
But gathering some intelligence isn't too difficult.
As Yang Hongchang said, it was just something he did on a whim.
Finally, he put down his crossed legs, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
Yang Hongchang still wore that confident and shrewd expression.
Seeing Liu Kai sigh resignedly, he chuckled and asked, "You agree?"
"Agreed. Have Ouyang Wenlian get ready. Let's depart at 5 PM tomorrow."
Yang Hongchang fully agreed with the timing he chose.
