"Hehe, there's no problem with that, I already have a suitable candidate in mind..."
"Who is the suitable candidate in your mind, Comrade Lu Zhi?" Zhong Xiu looked expectantly. Even he really didn't know who would be appropriate to send, after all, such a battle was just a minor skirmish. Although every country participated, they all consciously refrained from sending their ace experts, otherwise, they'd beco a laughing stock.
Team A has many ace experts, but the number of low-tier all-round professionals is pitiably low, or one might say that the low-tier experts of our country are not as good as those of the sa level in other countries.
Yip Man also looked at Lu Zhi in confusion. Lu Zhi was the head of the intelligence division, so it was normal for him to know so comprehensive team mbers over the years. However, Yip Man felt a bit nervous inside, afraid Lu Zhi would ntion Ye Hao, because Ye Hao was indeed very versatile in every aspect. If Team A wanted him to lead the third batch to Thurston Island, Ye Hao would definitely not refuse.
Although Li Yi didn't really want Lu Zhi to ntion Ye Hao, if he didn't ntion Ye Hao, could the other leaders find the first and second batches and even bring them back?
Li Yi didn't have as much confidence in others, but he was very assured about Ye Hao. However, he was also afraid sothing might happen to such an outstanding person like Ye Hao.
Qian Jiang, the leader of the economic team, Dong Dong of the scientific research team, Li Runfa from the Central Political Committee, He Jiguang from the Military Commission, and Liu Shang from Team A's diplomatic departnt all looked at Lu Zhi in unison.
They were all curious about who Lu Zhi was going to recomnd, or what outstanding traits that person had that made Lu Zhi think they were worth recomnding.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lu Zhi smiled and said, "It seems you all forgot about that little comrade, huh!
"That little comrade destroyed four major bases of the Philippine navy with a flip of his hand, thousands of enemy soldiers, and hundreds of Jiepeng troops. I'm sure you haven't forgotten his heroic deeds?"
"Are you talking about... that little comrade Ye Hao?" Zhong Xiu spoke more respectfully of Ye Hao now. Ye Hao was no longer the weakling he could ignore at will, but soone the high echelons of the Huaxia military paid attention to.
Had Ye Hao not insisted on not returning to a military position, he could've already beco a division commander or led an independent combat regint.
"Exactly," Lu Zhi nodded.
Zhong Xiu slapped the table, eyes shining with delight, and said, "How could I have not thought of this little comrade?"
Upon hearing this, Yip Man secretly sneered: hypocrite.
Zhong Xiu couldn't have forgotten about Ye Hao; he just couldn't bring himself to ntion Ye Hao! After all, it was Zhong Xiu who kicked Ye Hao out of Team A, and now that there's trouble, going to Ye Hao would be shaless.
Now that Lu Zhi brought it up, it's another explanation entirely. At least it wasn't Zhong Xiu who suggested it.
Or he could comfort himself by saying it was Comrade Lu Zhi and the others suggesting that Ye Hao lead the third batch. He's just following public opinion.
"Haha, now that the Team Leader thought of it, can we have this little comrade lead the third batch strongly again and show other countries a thing or two?" Qian Jiang, the leader of the economic team, laughed.
He admired Ye Hao naturally because Team A's funding was too tight, and Ye Hao never demanded even a penny for his tasks, plus he was versatile in all aspects. If Ye Hao could bring back the first batch and second batch with strength, the funding problem of Team A could ease up.
After all, if sothing happened to the first and second batches, Team A would have to pay a huge sum for settlents again.
And they'd face pressure from above; they hadn't forgotten that the first batch included a son of a high-ranking official.
"Yes, Team Leader, ti is of the essence. Why not today..."
"That's not appropriate; the second batch just left not long ago. Although we haven't contacted them yet, we should wait a bit more. If there's still no ssage by tonight, then contact Comrade Ye Hao imdiately. Comrade Li Yi, be ready with the combat team at any ti," Zhong Xiu commanded directly.
"Yes!" Li Yi didn't hesitate in serious monts and imdiately prepared the team.
Dong Dong from the science and technology team also made sure his team was ready with the necessary combat equipnt.
...
In the yard of the Peng City Huluo District Detention Center.
Murong Xue held her phone as she dialed the Shangguan Family in the north.
Once the call connected, Murong Xue directly asked, "Hello!"
"Who's this?" Shangguan Dapao asked in a lifeless tone, having just been scolded by Murong Lan.
"This is Murong Xue, are you Uncle?" Murong Xue was rather tentative when it ca to Shangguan Dapao, so she asked cautiously.
"Looking for your Granny, right?" Shangguan Dapao asked directly.
"Yes! It's about that brat Ye Hao."
"What do you an by brat? You little girl are asking for it, aren't you? You should call him Brother Hao..." Shangguan Dapao also cherished Ye Hao a lot and was the first to protest when Murong Xue called Ye Hao a brat.
Just then, Murong Lan ca in, her gaze unfriendly as she snorted, "Bullying Xue again, are you?"
Shangguan Dapao sighed helplessly, "Wife, I'm defending Ye Hao."
"Hmph! Let do the talking, step aside." Murong Lan seized the phone and pushed Shangguan Dapao aside.
Shangguan Dapao could only helplessly go to the side and drink tea. Rather than sipping it, he gulped it down.
"Hello? Xue, yes, yes, I'm Granny Lan. How are your grandfather and grandmother doing?" Murong Xue's grandfather was naturally her brother, whom she hadn't seen in a long ti, so she asked concernedly.
"Granny, Grandpa is doing well, he even said he wants to travel around!"
"So, little girl, what's going on that you called Granny today?" Murong Lan asked with a smile.
"Granny, I wanted to ask if you know that kid Ye Hao?"
"Oh? Why do you ask about him?" Murong Lan asked in surprise.
"Hmph! That kid's been causing trouble in Peng City, gathering crowds and fighting on the street, utterly unreasonable. In the interrogation room, he even had the nerve to say his grandfather is Shangguan Dapao..."
Murong Xue recounted what Ye Hao did in Peng City and what he said in the interrogation room.
After a long while, Murong Lan finally scolded, "This troublemaker, why is he causing chaos everywhere? He just got into a fight with those Crown Prince dudes in Yanjing, and now he's back in Peng City stirring up trouble."
"So, Granny Lan, what should we do? Let him stay in the detention center, or what?" Murong Xue wanted to gauge Murong Lan's intentions since she seed concerned about Ye Hao.
"Let him stay there for a few days, but make sure you watch over him closely, or else who knows what chaos he'll cause next," said Murong Lan.
"Huh! Watch over him closely?" Murong Xue asked, wide-eyed.
"Yes, you must watch him closely. That kid has skills, and if he escapes, it'll be trouble," Murong Lan snorted.
"Alright then!" Murong Xue pouted and said. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian for reading.)
