Chapter 75: Two Birds with One Stone

What everyone... well, except for Du Kaao, did not expect was that Du Qiangwei actually shook her head and refused the old man.

"No, I will not sit down!"

"Unless you agree to my request! You absolutely, absolutely cannot let Ye Cang lead the Super Soldier Company."

Once these words left Du Qiangwei's mouth, the smile on the old man's face immediately diminished quite a bit.

Ye Cang, off to the side, shook his head lightly.

Tsk, what a Du Qiangwei.

To think she would even dare to say such things out loud.

It's a pity, this isn't the ancient era anymore, where a group of ministers would kneel before the emperor, shouting themselves hoarse, begging His Majesty to rescind his order!

The emperor, forced into a corner, would have no choice but to agree to them.

The representative of such things is naturally the "King-Beating" Battalion.

At this moment, Du Qiangwei stood there in a standoff with the old man, looking extremely stubborn.

Just then, Du Kaao off to the side suddenly slapped the table and began to scold Du Qiangwei.

"Du Qiangwei, are you ever going to stop!"

"When you are told to sit, you sit! This is no time for you to be acting out; you are a soldier, don't forget that a soldier's sacred duty is to obey orders!"

"I am ordering you now, sit down immediately!"

After being scolded by Du Kaao, Du Qiangwei then reluctantly found an empty seat and sat down.

When the old man saw this scene, his expression still did not change much; he kept that same smiling look.

"Alright, Xiao Du, don't be so harsh," the old man said. "Qiangwei is still young, it's normal for her to be impatient; everyone has been through that stage."

"Enough, let's not talk about useless things. Since the children of the Super Soldier Company have arrived, I will ask them a few questions."

"After I finish asking, we will discuss the matter of Ye Cang again."

Having said that, the old man looked at Ge Xiaolun, who was sitting behind Di Leina.

"Ge Xiaolun, right?"

"I have read your file. Your father was a veteran, and your Ge family has served in the military for generations. If not for the Super Soldier Company, according to the original plan, you should have gone to be a soldier as well, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiaolun immediately nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right, that is exactly how it is, hehe."

Watching Ge Xiaolun's somewhat shy appearance, the old man asked again: "Xiao Lun, I ask you, you have been in this Super Soldier Company for so long, what have you learned?"

"Tell this old man here. By the way, no lying allowed, tell the truth!"

"Yes!" Ge Xiaolun stood up, saluted, and then said what he had learned in the Super Soldier Company.

"For me, this doesn't really count as learning, I guess. It's just training every day, getting beaten up, and that's it."

"Just that?" The old man raised his eyebrows.

"Just that!" Ge Xiaolun replied with a serious face.

Looking at Ge Xiaolun's serious expression, the old man's face immediately darkened a bit.

Immediately, the old man asked the others as well.

After hearing the answers from the others in the Super Soldier Company, the old man's face turned completely and utterly black.

Although he had long known that the people in the Super Soldier Company had not undergone tactical training, hearing them say it themselves was truly even more infuriating.

Suppressing his anger, the old man said: "Fine, fine, fine, Xiao Du, you really have done a great job!"

"Since the children are here, I won't say anything more."

"You handle it yourself."

Having said that, the old man stopped speaking.

Meanwhile, Du Qiangwei, off to the side, waited and waited for the old man to bring up the previous matter, but he didn't.

Looking at the silent old man, she could no longer hold it in.

"Report, I have something to say."

The old man didn't even look at Du Qiangwei.

"Qiangwei, I won't say anything more about that matter."

"After all, you heard the conversation just now clearly enough; there is no point in continuing to talk about it!"

"Although Ye Cang is only someone who does scientific research, he has already proven himself. Letting him lead you is the best choice."

"I do not wish for you to go onto the battlefield, bumping around like headless flies, and end up sacrificing yourselves in vain."

"Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Du Qiangwei said. "But Ye Cang is nothing but a butcher! That was an entire Tianhe City! He said he would destroy it, and he just did!"

"He didn't feel even the slightest bit of sadness. Even if Tianhe City was an empty city, it shouldn't have been destroyed!"

"Now that he dares to destroy an empty city, in the future, he could directly destroy a city full of people!"

When she said this, Du Qiangwei was extremely indignant.

"If you insist on letting Ye Cang lead the Super Soldier Company, then I would rather quit!"

After saying this, Du Qiangwei did not hesitate and prepared to leave.

But before she could even take a step, Du Kaao's reprimand came again.

"Du Qiangwei, you have gone too far!"

"What is this about quitting the Super Soldier Company? What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"

"Now, apologize immediately, or don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter anymore!"

Facing Du Kaao's words, Du Qiangwei remained completely unmoved and just stood there.

Looking at Du Qiangwei's current state, Du Kaao knew it was about enough.

With that, he flicked his hand.

"Du Qiangwei, you have truly disappointed me. Is this how I taught you!"

"Sigh..." he said, letting out a long sigh.

Immediately after, he looked toward the old man again.

"I am sorry, it is my failure to discipline her strictly. I am truly very sorry for today's events, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

"However, please do not punish Qiangwei; she was just being too impatient."

The old man did not speak, merely looking at Du Kaao.

Ye Cang, however, raised an eyebrow.

Only now did he understand what was going on!

From beginning to end, this had been orchestrated by Du Kaao; he had used Du Qiangwei as a pawn.

By timing it right, he could shift the focus onto him!

Tsk, truly a brilliant scheme to kill two birds with one stone.

By doing this, he could maintain control over the Super Soldier Company while also making things difficult for him.

Hmm~ ruthless enough to use his own daughter as a pawn!

Just as Ye Cang thought this, Du Kaao spoke up: "However, having said that."

"I am indeed at fault, but is Chief Engineer Ye not also at fault?"

"With a wave of his hand, he destroyed the entire Tianhe City; is this matter just going to pass like that?"

"I can pretend not to see it, the Super Soldier Company can pretend not to see it, and you can pretend not to see it!"

"But, can these things be hidden from the eyes of the masses?"

"Tell me, am I right!"

After speaking, Du Kaao stopped talking and stared straight at the old man, waiting for the old man's answer.

"Hmm, you are right, Little Du," the old man replied. "Ye Cang did indeed act improperly in this matter; Tianhe City is, after all, a significant economic zone."

"Destroying it just like that is truly unacceptable."

"However, Ye Cang said that since he could destroy it, he could rebuild it. When the time comes to reconstruct Tianhe City, he will deploy Intelligent Robots to assist with the rebuilding."

"By then, the time required to rebuild Tianhe City will be shortened to a terrifying degree!"
