Chapter 9: Huang Lao

No way! No way!

He certainly didn't want to be fancied by Du Qiangwei.

Never mind whether he was overthinking it or being too narcissistic.

You have to know that if you were fancied by Du Qiangwei, then dying would be a death in vain!

At this moment, Ye Cang had already imagined what Du Qiangwei would say after he kicked the bucket.

She would definitely say, Ye Cang died for a worthy cause!

He certainly didn't want to die for a worthy cause!

He wanted to live!

To prevent himself from dying for a worthy cause, Ye Cang gave a light cough to wake Du Qiangwei up.

"Ahem, Miss Du Qiangwei, if you stare at me like that, I'll get shy!" Ye Cang said.

Being spoken to like that by Ye Cang, Du Qiangwei reacted immediately and hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Seeing that Du Qiangwei was no longer looking at him, Ye Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't have to die for a worthy cause anymore.

Immediately, he turned his gaze back to A Jie; after all, A Jie was still waiting for his answer.

"Mr. A Jie, hearing you say that, I feel the Super Seminary is actually quite good!"

After hearing Ye Cang's answer, A Jie let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, his prior assumption was correct; this method of persuading Ye Cang to join the Super Seminary really worked!

To ensure Ye Cang wouldn't suddenly go back on his word, A Jie decided to say a few more things to add an extra layer of insurance!

Thinking of this, A Jie deliberately put on a mysterious look.

"Ye Cang, actually you also want to obtain superpowers, right? I can tell you, joining the Super Seminary is equivalent to having an admission ticket to obtain superpowers."

"It won't take long before you can also possess superpowers!"

"How about it, are you surprised?"

After listening to this speech from A Jie, Ye Cang's face had already turned beet red—not from excitement, but from holding back laughter.

Damn, this big bullshitter A Jie really knows how to bullshit people to death!

Joining the Super Seminary to obtain superpowers, indeed.

He didn't remember the Super Seminary ever having that trick up their sleeve.

The person who has that trick is the Demon King Morgana!

A Jie looked at Ye Cang, whose face had turned red from holding back laughter, and assumed he was excited because he could obtain superpowers.

At this moment, he was one hundred percent certain that Ye Cang would definitely join the Super Seminary.

Thinking of this, A Jie began to feel smug, completely failing to notice that Du Qiangwei, sitting beside him, had a slightly reddened face and was sitting there blankly with her head lowered.

Du Qiangwei couldn't figure out why she had been staring at a man.

Although this man was better looking than Ge Xiaolun, more knowledgeable, and had a better personality, she shouldn't have been staring at him.

And she had even been caught by him; this was simply too embarrassing, but there was one thing Du Qiangwei couldn't understand.

That was why Ye Cang hadn't peeked at her?

You have to know that back then, Ge Xiaolun had practically glued his eyes to her body!

Could it be that her charm had declined?

Just as Du Qiangwei was puzzled, Ye Cang could no longer hold back his amusement and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha, sorry, I couldn't help it!" Ye Cang said, "I've long heard of A Jie's reputation as a big bullshitter; seeing it today, it really lives up to the name!"

"You really dare to say anything. Do you really think I'm Ge Xiaolun? Believing whatever you say!"

When he said this, Ye Cang stopped laughing, and his expression turned cold.

"Persuading me to join the Super Seminary—which idiot came up with that idea?"

Ye Cang's words made A Jie very awkward.

However, he had no choice but to do it.

Specifically, it was because Du Kaao and Huang Lao had given him a task.

They told him and Du Qiangwei to come and do their best to persuade Ye Cang to abandon the Nantianmen Project, and also told him that since he and Ye Cang were both young people, it would be easier to talk.

Then they gave him Ye Cang's file.

After he read it once, he knew this matter would be very difficult to handle!

Persuading him to abandon the Nantianmen Project was simply impossible.

Thus, A Jie thought of the method of having Ye Cang join the Super Seminary; he didn't know if it would succeed, but he figured that with Du Qiangwei acting as a 'poster girl', the success rate might be a bit higher.

He didn't expect the guy to know he was a big bullshitter; it was truly embarrassing to death!

Ye Cang looked at the awkward-looking A Jie and didn't continue to say anything harsh.

"A Jie, I won't make things difficult for you; after all, you are just following orders. You can go now."

After speaking, Ye Cang pointed at the door, signaling for the two to leave.

A Jie, who was already awkward, became even more awkward at this moment.

After a moment of thought, he said cautiously: "Ye Cang, this... actually, General Du Kaao has also come this time."

"How about I give him a call, have General Du Kaao come over, and then you two can talk yourselves?"

Ye Cang thought for a moment and nodded to agree with A Jie's idea.

The reason was simple: if A Jie failed, Du Kaao would definitely come anyway.

Rather than tossing back and forth and wasting time, it was better to concentrate it into one day and resolve it all!

After receiving Ye Cang's permission, A Jie walked quickly out of the conference room and made a phone call.

Afterwards, he told Ye Cang that Du Kaao would arrive in about 20 minutes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang merely nodded; other than that, he had no further reaction.

As for A Jie, he sat down beside Du Qiangwei and began waiting for Du Kaao's arrival.

It was just that A Jie was currently feeling somewhat restless.

Finally, at the 17th minute, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Du Kaao walked in together with an old man.

When A Jie saw Du Kaao, his eyes suddenly lit up; his savior had finally arrived!

Heaven knows how he had spent these 17 minutes, boo hoo hoo!

Thinking of this, A Jie did not hesitate in the slightest and quickly left the place with Du Qiangwei, not even glancing at Du Kaao.

And as A Jie and Du Qiangwei left, the atmosphere inside the room became increasingly heavy.

When Ye Cang saw the old man beside Du Kaao, he could not help but sneer.

It was clear that Du Kaao had truly gone all out, actually inviting even Huang Lao over.

Huang Lao could be considered Du Kaao's direct superior, and he was also the one who officially approved the activation of the Super Soldier Company.

Thinking of using Huang Lao to pressure him into giving up the Nantianmen Project?

What a pity, he now had the permission of that person; a mere Huang Lao was not enough to intimidate him!

Just at this moment, Huang Lao, who was standing beside Du Kaao, slowly walked to Ye Cang's side.

"Hello, young comrade Ye Cang. I am Little Du's superior; just call me Huang Lao."

After speaking, he reached out his hand toward Ye Cang.

Out of politeness, Ye Cang also reached out his hand, and the two shook hands lightly before separating.

Immediately following this, Du Kaao and Huang Lao took their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Du Kaao spoke impatiently: "Ye Cang, why must you be so persistent about your Nantianmen Project!"

"Having witnessed Du Qiangwei's Micro-wormhole Transportation Technology, you should also understand a few things!"

"And understand even better what kind of enemy you are facing!"
