Chapter 255 Can You Two Do Something Serious?
"If I don't come in person, will the spy ruin this important resurrection experiment?"
The bald old man put away his smile and asked Xiao Liu a question with a stern face, which made Xiao Liu look embarrassed. He turned around and smiled at Qiao Lan again, "Ms. Qiao Lan, please sit down. Take that chair. It's soft."
Qiao Lan was stunned by the rapid change of expression.
The old man pointed to a black leather chair and asked her to sit down. She exchanged some polite words, accepted his kindness with a smile, and sat down generously.
The old man smiled, obviously pleased with her informality.
Just as Qiao Lan was about to politely inquire about the other person's identity, the old man from across the table reached out and shook her hand. "Hello, Ms. Qiao Lan. My last name is Wei, Wei Jianshe. I'm an old man. Thanks to some minor military exploits in my youth, I've risen to a slightly higher level than Xiao Zhao, who's in charge here. I know everything about the assistant lab assistant. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Xiao Zhao? The Xiao Zhao he was referring to was the lab director Xiao Liu had mentioned earlier, Major General Zhao? Qiao Lan wondered who this person was, daring to call the Major General "Xiao Zhao"?
Xiao Liu wiped the sweat off his face and quickly introduced Qiao Lan: "Commander Wei held the rank of General thirty years ago. He has served as Group Army Commander, Theater Commander-in-Chief, and Army Commander-in-Chief. He was in charge of military and police reconstruction after the disaster and is currently one of the five core commanders..."
"Hey, don't mention those past positions. The country was almost gone after the disaster. What's the point of talking about those crappy positions?" Wei Jianshe interrupted Xiao Liu's introduction and said to Qiao Lan, "I'm over 80 years old, a rotten old man. I've been retired for many years. My mind and body are not as useful as they used to be. If the disaster hadn't lost so many talented people, it wouldn't be my turn as a half-dead old guy to take charge of the situation."
He then told Qiao Lan, "Because this pharmaceutical laboratory involves the training of awakened talents, as well as the treatment of seriously injured and fallen martyrs, it is currently under the management of our military system. I'm very easy to talk to, so if you have any questions, just talk to me directly. It's convenient."
The old man was kind and straightforward in his words, so Qiao Lan quickly shook his hand harder to show his respect.
"Then I won't be polite, Grandpa Wei. I'll be frank. The assistant lab technician I made vomit blood last night must be suspicious. You must interrogate him thoroughly. Maybe he is related to Saint Yes. After all, in the current situation, who would deliberately lurk in the core laboratory to make small moves? It must be a hostile force. Besides, you just said that you were able to lead others on the same line. You are really wise and intelligent. I hadn't thought of it before! With you in charge, I feel more at ease about my brother's drug testing. Grandpa Wei, please don't say that you are useless. Looking at your energetic and rosy appearance, if you didn't tell me your age, I would never have known that you were over 80. I would have thought you were less than 60. You are still strong and healthy. We can only rely on you for reconstruction. To be honest, when I saw you just now, I was full of confidence in the national reconstruction!"
Qiao Lan has always been thick-skinned. He doesn't feel embarrassed to flatter anyone on the spot and always calls people "grandpa" to get close to them.
She wanted to talk to the lab's top management to remind them to follow the clues to catch the big fish and maintain the security and stability of the laboratory, otherwise she would be too worried about Xiao Tang staying there.
She was still trying to figure out how to speak without offending anyone, but who knew that such a senior leader would take the initiative to show up, thinking things through in advance, saving her so much trouble. Qiao Lan felt relieved and her mouth was sweet.
Flattering words were thrown out one by one, without any disguise, directly and passionately.
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this. He immediately looked at Qiao Lan with admiration, thinking to himself, I've been hosting you for two or three days, how come I didn't realize you were so good at taking pictures? I didn't show this skill before because my level was too low. Don't you want to take pictures?
"Hahahaha! Ms. Qiao Lan, you are really humorous. You are always trying to make me happy." Wei Jianshe was the one being photographed after all. Unlike Xiao Liu who was depressed, he burst into laughter after hearing what Qiao Lan said.
Qiao Lan said, "Please don't call me Madam. Grandpa Wei, just call me by my name. I'm just a kid who just turned twenty years old. How can I deserve to be called Madam by you, a veteran and great leader?"
Wei Jianshe smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Qiao Lan, I'll just call you by your name. Then I won't be polite anymore, and you don't have to compliment me either. Let's be direct in our conversation from now on."
"Okay, Grandpa Wei, I'll be frank. But there's one thing I have to emphasize. When I say you don't look under sixty, I'm not just complimenting you. You really do look young."
"Haha, that doesn't mean he's less than sixty. He should at least look like he's seventy."
"You really don't look seventy... Well, I'll give you a discount and say you look sixty-five."
"Hey, stop kidding, it has to be at least sixty-nine."
"Sixty-seven! Grandpa Wei, no more! I have to live up to my eyesight and my conscience."
"Hey, girl, whatever you want."
Xiao Liu: “…”
It sounds like bargaining at the vegetable market.
Can we still discuss things like age like this?
Besides, can you two do something serious instead? Aren’t you investigating the spies? Aren’t you anxious since Comrade Tang hasn’t been rescued yet?
"Xiao Liu, get out." Wei Jianshe suddenly became serious.
Xiao Liu was shocked. What? My inner complaints were known to the leader?
"Go out and let the spy in. You guard the door."
Oh, I see. I really have something to tell you. "...Yes!"
Xiao Liu quickly went out to do his work.
A moment later, the assistant lab worker who had been made to vomit blood by Qiao Lan was brought in, and Xiao Liu went out to guard the room. Wei Jianshe and Qiao Lan were the only ones left in the room to confront the spy. Wei Jianshe opened a sealed document that Xiao Liu had just delivered, paused, nodded, and handed it to Qiao Lan.
"Interrogation record. You guessed right, this person was indeed planted by the Saint Yes Company."
The old man took a deep breath and drummed his fingers on the table. "They're so pervasive! Even the core confidentiality laboratory has a spy, and they've gone undetected for so long!"
Qiao Lan quickly glanced through the three-page interrogation record and was secretly amazed.
The official authorities actually have psychic experts as well. This record was not obtained through interrogation, but through mental invasion, consciousness control, and memory search. The method is similar to that of the experts at the Temple.
So the assistant lab worker revealed a lot of information, suggesting he actually had accomplices inside. He revealed four people, and there was another person he didn't know about, though he knew they existed and that they were probably in a high position.
While Qiao Lan was reading the records, Wei Jianshe used the communicator to contact his subordinates. After hanging up, he said, "While the interrogation is going on, they're arresting people. No one on this line can escape. Don't worry, we will do our best to ensure the security of Comrade Tang Xiaoyao's experiment."
"Thank you, Grandpa Wei."
"Don't thank me. After something like this happened, those of us in charge should be blushing with shame. Do we deserve thanks?" Wei Jianshe said seriously, "Later, I'll have people help Xiao Zhao clean up this lab and dig out any potential dangers. We must also find the person this spy doesn't know about. Qiao Lan, I had this spy brought here to give to you. You're also a space-based person, right? It's just perfect, I'll give you his crystal core. Also, I have something else to ask of you."
Ah, you know I’m a space department...Qiao Lan was helpless.
But it's no wonder that people could guess it. She subdued the space spy as soon as they met. How could people not guess in this direction?
There was no way to expose her ability. She couldn't just let the spy do anything. What if it interfered with Xiao Tang's resurrection?
No longer trying to hide it, Qiao Lan thanked him directly: "Thank you, Grandpa Wei. If you have anything to ask of me, please tell me. I will definitely try my best to do it for you, even if it is impossible."
The official boss needs me, so I must seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with him. There will be many benefits in the future. Qiao Lan thought silently.
