Chapter 78: The Sneaky Dog-like Emperor Leona

After thinking about it seriously, Qi Lin replied, "Just like that. This is my first time seeing Chief Engineer Ye, too; he looks quite young and refined."

"He is completely different from how he is on the battlefield. I never imagined he would destroy the entire Tianhe City. Hmm... as for being boyfriend and girlfriend, I really haven't thought about that."

"Is that so!" Rui Mengmeng said, "But Sister Qi Lin, you're already 26. My mom said that when a girl is 26, she should get married, otherwise she'll become an old maid! I think Chief Engineer Ye..."

"Ouch!"

Speaking up to this point, Rui Mengmeng covered her head and cried out in pain.

"Sister Qi Lin, why did you hit me?"

Rui Mengmeng looked at Qi Lin pitifully.

Qi Lin, however, said crossly, "26 is not an old maid, and stop trying to play matchmaker."

"Don't just talk about me, tell me about you—what is your impression of Chief Engineer Ye?"

Rui Mengmeng didn't even think about it.

"I don't know! But it feels like Chief Engineer Ye is like a big brother, it's just that his temperament is too cold. The words he spoke at this meeting could be counted on one hand."

After hearing this, Qi Lin didn't say anything more, then quickly left the place.

What the two of them didn't know was that their conversation had been heard clearly by Ye Cang.

After confirming that neither of them was interested in him, Ye Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Women and such things would only affect him.

But before Ye Cang could think any further, the old man spoke.

"Little Cang, why did you interrupt me just now! Look, Rui Mengmeng and Qi Lin don't have boyfriends. If they happen to be interested in you, wouldn't that be perfect!"

Ye Cang covered his head, looking melancholy.

"Please stop it. I really don't have thoughts in that regard. Of course, I must make it clear: I do like women, so please don't misunderstand anything."

"There are too many things going on right now; I cannot be distracted by women. Wait for the future, when I can shoulder the title of 'conquering the northern wilderness and making offerings at Mount Langjuxu', I promise I will get married! Is that okay!"

But this time, the old man did not answer Ye Cang, but instead let out a long sigh.

"Sigh... Little Cang, haven't you realized that only now do you seem like a complete person?"

"A complete person should have seven emotions and six desires, but you don't have these anymore. All you have is absolute rationality. I don't know what happened."

"However, Little Cang, you must remember that I am your strongest backing! You don't have to live so tiredly."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Ye Cang.

But Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction.

He just nodded.

"I know."

But he remained with that same expressionless look, without the slightest change.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more.

He just sat there quietly for quite a while.

The door to the conference room then opened, and Du Kaao walked in.

He then handed a USB drive to the old man.

"This is the one-time password to enter Deno III. After you connect to Deno III, input this password, and the Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and the Dark Matter Computing Cloud will automatically finish downloading."

"However, your storage space must be large enough, otherwise it will cause your equipment to burn out."

The old man took the USB drive without saying anything and left the conference room with Ye Cang.

The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away, and until they disappeared, Du Kaao let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, I didn't expect Ye Cang to be valued to this extent; that person is actually protecting him so much."

"What a nuisance! Fortunately, no matter how much of a genius he is, he won't understand Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology and the Dark Matter Computing Cloud. I suppose that is the silver lining in this misfortune!"

Meanwhile, Ye Cang and the old man had already arrived on the deck.

The old man casually tossed the USB drive to Little Cang.

"This is the thing you wanted. Use it well; I am waiting for your results!"

Ye Cang nodded.

"Leave it to me, you can rest assured."

"By the way, I didn't expect you to get these two things in this way."

After hearing Ye Cang's words, the old man shook his head and smiled.

"You, did you think I would directly demand them from Du Kaao?"

"Although this old man is old, I am not stupid."

"These two things, just hearing their names, are not simple. How could Du Kaao willingly give them to me? So, one must strike first to gain the advantage."

"Tell him I want to take control of his Super Soldier Company, and then loosen up, trading it for these two things!"

"If nothing goes wrong, he will definitely give them to me obediently."

This string of words left Ye Cang stunned.

It turns out the old man's goal from the beginning was the two things he mentioned; he hadn't even considered the control of the Super Soldier Company.

He had even thought the old man was truly formidable, using this opportunity to strip Du Kaao of his military power.

As it turns out...

Sure enough, he was still too young.

Just as Ye Cang was about to say something, he suddenly thought of a question.

If Du Kaao had obediently handed over the control of the Super Soldier Company, wouldn't the old man have been busy for nothing?

The curious Ye Cang asked the old man this question.

But after hearing it, the old man looked at Ye Cang with a look that suggested he was an idiot.

This left Ye Cang looking puzzled.

He was just asking a question; was it necessary to look at him with that kind of gaze?

Just as Ye Cang was feeling confused, the old man said, "Little Cang, so you have moments where you act foolish too!"

"If Du Kaao is willing to hand over control of the Super Soldier Company to me, then let him hand it over; either way, whether he gives it to me or not, it's a huge profit!"

"Although those kids in the Super Soldier Company are a bit silly, they can be fine if they are cultivated properly!"

After speaking, the old man did not even glance at Ye Cang, walking alone toward the Tianhe Transport Plane on the deck.

And Ye Cang also reacted.

Damn, such a simple matter and he hadn't even thought of it! How embarrassing!

But then again, ginger really is spicier when it's old!

He thought that person was on the second floor, but in reality, they were in the atmosphere!

It seems he still has a lot to learn!

Thinking of this, Ye Cang smiled self-deprecatingly and intended to catch up with the old man.

But, just as he took a step, Di Leina's voice suddenly came over.

"Ye Cang, Ye Cang, over here, look over here!"

Following the sound, he saw Di Leina sneaking behind a fighter jet, waving vigorously at him, looking as if she had something to say.

Ye Cang did not go over, but instead greeted the old man.

"Someone is looking for me, I'll go for a moment, please wait!"

Seeing the old man nod, Ye Cang then came to Di Leina's side.

"What is it, Di Leina?" Ye Cang said.

Di Leina did not answer Ye Cang immediately, but instead looked him up and down.

Only then did she say, "Why are you different from before? You are so cold now!"

Ye Cang frowned.

"If you have something to say, say it. I have things to attend to over there; if there's nothing, I'm leaving."

Hearing that Ye Cang was about to leave, Di Leina hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't go, don't go."

"I called you over because I wanted to apologize to you. Back in Tianhe City, when we were fighting Xuantianji... I... I..."
