Chapter 407: Personally Going to Pick Up Lin Meng

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, Li Lao's expression turned grave as he heavily knocked on the table a few times, and the meeting room instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing Li Lao's uneasy expression, and they all had a guess in their hearts.

"Li Lao, if you have something to say, just speak plainly; we're only considering safety, and if there are any orders from above, we will naturally follow."

"It stands to reason that anyone who can produce an Aperture-Opening Pill must be formidable; we've also considered that pushing them too hard might backfire, so we will obey all commands."

Li Lao took a breath, then said:

"I agree with the superiors' opinion; we must give them full respect. Since they can selflessly turn over the Aperture-Opening Pill, that proves their attitude toward the nation. If I find out anyone among you abuses power over them in private, don't blame me for being harsh."

Everyone's hearts tightened; it seems Li Lao thinks highly of that person, and he intends to protect them to the end.

But they're not stupid either; the Aperture-Opening Pill is rare as can be, and they would hardly dare to offend that person.

Li Lao added:

"I will personally handle the Aperture-Opening Pill matter, and I will personally track and study the three who first took it."

"Furthermore, there are another thirty users in the team who should also be returning soon; then you will be personally responsible for them."

"If all goes well, Little Friend Lin still has some Aperture-Opening Pills, though the amount is unknown; during this time you can also scout for promising candidates in your respective armies and draw up a list."

As soon as Li Lao finished speaking, everyone became excited.

Are they planning to prepare the roster in advance and then directly distribute the Aperture-Opening Pills?

Now the entire army already has thirty-three soldiers who have taken the Aperture-Opening Pill; if all goes well, they will be the nation's first batch of super soldiers, of extraordinary significance.

Usually, when such a special unit appears, it is generally merged into a super unit, receiving a special code name and treatment, and one person is chosen as commander to take full responsibility.

It's also unclear who will lead these super soldiers this time.

If they were to lead such a unit, perhaps in their lifetime they could still hope to climb to higher positions!

——

Lin Meng left contact information for Chief Li, and the next day after organizing the pills she got in touch, preparing to hand over another portion of the Aperture-Opening Pill and, by the way, chat with Chief Li about her own plans.

Chief Li had been waiting for Lin Meng's news at all times; as soon as he received her call, he immediately became excited.

"Little Friend Lin, give me an address, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

Lin Meng did not refuse, gave her address, and then waited at home.

Soon, several fully armed military vehicles came mightily toward the Peninsula Villa.

One hour later.

"Team Captain He, just who is Chief Li having us pick up, a big shot? This villa area is a rich neighborhood—how can they be so wealthy?"

In the lead vehicle sat several military personnel, and the person in the passenger seat was none other than He Fei, the first to take the Aperture-Opening Pill.

At this moment, He Fei's fierce aura was restrained, and Lin Meng's image unconsciously surfaced in his mind, a complex expression flashing across his face.

Not long ago, he was merely a person with mediocre physical fitness, relying on his family to have a place.

But Lin Meng, that woman beautiful as a celestial being, used a single pill to transform him into a super soldier capable of leaving a deep dent in an iron plate with one punch.

This pick-up mission was his own voluntary application after he heard about it.

Lin Meng not only gave him a complete rebirth, but she is also the hope and future of the entire nation.

Hearing the teammate say that, He Fei immediately spoke solemnly:

"Don't judge her casually; she is the most mysterious and also the most formidable woman I have ever seen, and wealth is merely the most trivial aspect of her."

The other team members in the vehicle, upon hearing this, all widened their eyes.

Team Captain He actually rated this person so highly!

It's a pity the mission only had them safely escort the key figure to headquarters, without specifying the person's exact identity.

But since Team Captain He said that, everyone also became solemn, daring not to comment casually.

If Lin Meng were to hear He Fei's words, she would surely be greatly astonished.

They had only met once before, and they were completely strangers to each other—how could they know each other's strengths and weaknesses?

He Fei's high evaluation of Lin Meng was entirely his personal blind admiration.

Indeed, for a soldier who relied on family connections and had average fitness, suddenly receiving a mysterious little pill that turned him into a super soldier like those from the US team, this gratitude is akin to a rebirth—who wouldn't be moved?

"Soon when we arrive at her home, you all be polite, watch your mouths—I might as well let you in on a secret: the person we're going to pick up is someone even Chief Li has to be courteous to; if you offend her, you'll surely regret it later."

He Fei's grandfather holds a high position; yesterday he held an important meeting, and after returning he convened a family meeting.

The grandfather ordered that the entire He family must not offend Lin Meng, and moreover should seek ways to become friendly with her.

He Fei guessed that Miss Lin likely still had some Aperture-Opening Pills, and that Chief Li and the superiors had already given her identity the highest level of protection, showing how highly they valued her.

Once Lin Meng continues to provide the Aperture-Opening Pill to the military, she will be the treasure of the entire Xia State!

Everyone in the vehicle felt deeply shaken by He Fei's warning, and at the same time grew more curious and eager about the mysterious person they were about to meet.

In no time, several groups at the Half-Mountain Villa were all in an uproar.

They were all prominent figures; upon hearing that several military vehicles mightily entered the villa area, everyone who got the news couldn't stay seated.

The Half-Mountain Villa mostly housed business magnates or deep-rooted great families, but in truth, very few had any contact with the military.

For a while, many people began to pay attention.

When Lin Meng heard the doorbell, she rose to open the door, and already several high-spec military vehicles were parked outside.

At the instant the leading He Fei saw Lin Meng, his heart went bang bang bang nonstop.

Last time in the unit, he already felt Lin Meng stood out remarkably, the most eye-catching and unique woman he had seen so far.

But last time his attention was mostly on the Aperture-Opening Pill, so he really hadn't paid much heed to Lin Meng.

This time, seeing Lin Meng up close, He Fei's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

"Miss Lin, hello; I am He Fei, sent by Chief Li to pick you up and take you to headquarters. Please guide me."

He Fei took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, but the tremor in his voice still gave him away—he was dying of nervousness.

Lin Meng gave He Fei a faint smile; not only He Fei, but even the warriors following behind opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

My goodness, the mysterious figure Chief Li had them come to welcome—how could it be such a young and so beautiful a beauty?

Lin Meng saw this, but she was not offended.

These warriors are still in the prime of youth; their eyes hold only astonishment and admiration, no uncomfortable gaze, showing that they are indeed well-trained and of good character.

She nodded at He Fei and said:

"You're He Fei, right? I still remember you—last time you were the first to step forward and try my Aperture-Clearing Pill, right?"
