"Chief Qing Luo, I’d advise you to watch your words; it might be better."
Joy expressed dissatisfaction with Qing Luo’s choice of words.
Yet Qing Luo was indifferent,
"Your husband is a businessman who only seeks profits, and now he’s almost a politician, so he needs a clean ’background’ and reputation."
"But I am a soldier, and every war requires soldiers to fight with their blood and lives."
"Go back and tell your husband I greatly appreciate his investnt and help, but as for interfering with my actions, that’s not happening."
Qing Luo said this indifferently, and as soon as he finished speaking, the guards standing about two or three ters behind him drew their guns, aiming at Joy.
Instantly, the air was filled with the scent of gunpowder.
Joy slightly furrowed his brows, stared at Qing Luo for a few seconds, then laughed after a long while,
"I was just speaking offhand, Chief Qing Luo, you might be a bit too sensitive. My husband’s concerns are for you, Chief Qing Luo, your subordinates, and your army’s future and career."
"Mr. Bai worries too much."
Qing Luo’s voice grew colder.
Joy’s expression changed slightly, the forced smile on his face also stiffened briefly, then his voice also grew colder,
"Chief Qing Luo, we agreed not to loosely ntion the word ’Bai’..."
Qing Luo appeared unconcerned, he stood up,
"Joy, if you have nothing else to say, I won’t see you out. After all, this is our military base, it’s definitely not safe for you here."
After finishing his statent, Qing Luo stood up, gestured twice with his hand, signaling his subordinates to see the guest out.
Joy stood up,
"Chief Qing Luo, if I said sothing today that offended you, I apologize first, it was not intentional, I hope we won’t spoil the harmony between us over such a trivial matter."
"You think too much, I, Qing Luo, am not that petty. See him out."
"..."
Joy wanted to say sothing else, but the two subordinates of Qing Luo were already beside him, their gesture to see him out couldn’t be more forceful.
He pursed his lips, said nothing more, and left the factory.
After Joy left,
Two close subordinates approached Qing Luo, one nad Ling Lan and the other Hui Yan.
Ling Lan was a distinctly androgynous woman, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a hat; with a stoic face, barely anyone could tell she was a woman.
"Chief, aren’t you afraid that talking to Joy like this might make him say things that are unfavorable to us to the man nad Bai?"
"He made the special trip to say these pointless things just to probe my limits."
Qing Luo spoke coldly and indifferently,
"And now I am clearly showing my stance; in terms of combat, it’s not their place as people of Country G to point fingers."
"..."
"Making them aware of my boundary is a good thing."
Qing Luo picked up a helt from his motorcycle,
"You also must rember this point firmly; they provide us with weapons as part of our cooperation, they want a profit, but the war is our own, on the battlefield; we must hold all the initiative."
"Yes, Chief!"
Ling Lan nodded in agreent!
Hui Yan, in his early thirties, was a very capable military strategist, and could be considered Qing Luo’s senior.
"Qing Luo, I saw you looking at a tablet earlier, and then you ntioned to Joy that you saw an interesting person from Country G, who was that?"
Hui Yan was very sharp and observant.
Qing Luo’s every move seed caught in his eyes.
"This..."
Qing Luo put on his helt.
"Chief, what are you about to do now?"
Ling Lan saw Qing Luo straddle the motorcycle, puzzled.
"The person I saw is the President of Country G, Wen Nian."
"..."
"..."
Both Ling Lan and Hui Yan were stunned upon hearing this.
"The President of Country G, Wen Nian? Where?"
"He’s up in the mountains with the intruders from before. I saw five people, two vehicles. But that doesn’t an they only have five people and two vehicles."
"Chief, are you sure you didn’t see wrong? It’s the President of Country G; it’s hardly possible for him to show up on our turf at this ti!"
"That’s why I am going to confirm now."
Qing Luo declared confidently as he started his motorcycle,
"If it’s really the President of Country G, Wen Nian... then it’s really like Providence is helping ."
"..."
"Keep this between us for now, don’t spread the word; I’ll decide what to do when I get back after confirming."
"Chief, are you going alone?"
"One is enough."
"If it’s really the President of Country G, I, Ling Lan, absolutely won’t allow you to go alone!"
