Who is Qin Hanlie?
One cannot even come into contact with such an existence unless they reach a certain level. It can even be said that one would never encounter such a person.
Qin Hanlie, currently one of the two marshals of the Great Xia military, is referred to as Marshal Qin by Ye Longlin, holding a four-star rank.
If Ye Longlin is the commander-in-chief of the military, then Qin Hanlie is the second-in-command.
What shocked him was that Qin Hanlie had once said his daughter had died, perishing at the Huai River Academy back then.
The Xu family of Huai River and the Huai River Academy were stripped of their educational qualifications by the General Directorate due to this incident, becoming a private educational institution.
Few people would joke about their daughters, let alone someone of Qin Hanlie's stature.
“Yes, I did die back then. It was my father who begged the Guigu lineage to save me. However, as too much time had passed, my legs sometimes have feeling and sometimes I can't stand up at all, leaving me with lingering ailments. Furthermore, my father was busy with military affairs day and night, having even less time to look after me. All he could do was build me such a cage in Jinling.
I've never been outside, but I have my own channels for news from the outside world. Therefore, I know a little more than others, and that's all.”
Ye Longlin was indeed unaware of the matters of the previous generation and thus did not ask further. He slowly said, "You want me to go back and take over military affairs, so Marshal Qin can come back to spend time with you?"
Qin Shiyin shook her head and smiled faintly, "No. I know what the Dragon Pavilion is. I deeply admire General Ye. After all, every girl hopes for a hero of her own, one who will come to greet her on a seven-colored auspicious cloud one day. Therefore, I am very curious about Miss Mu, having such a hero as you appear in her life."
Ye Longlin automatically filtered out the other words, his mind spinning rapidly as he pondered the reason for her meeting him.
Could it be about the Military God Rankings?
But it shouldn't be. The people under Marshal Qin wouldn't even look down on such a thing as the Military God Rankings.
If he himself were not in the military, and the top ranker of the Investiture of the Gods, the position of top ranker of the Military God Rankings would not have fallen to him.
He first obtained the top ranker of the Investiture of the Gods, and only then did he acquire the title of top ranker of the Military God Rankings.
Moreover, all of them have such temperaments; they hide all the good things. The weapons and equipment displayed publicly are just catching up to international standards. This has always been the habit of Zhonghua.
However, these words did not make Ye Longlin vigilant. Instead, they made Mu Hanqi vigilant because she heard the implied meaning behind her words!
Could it be that she wants to snatch her man?
If she wants to snatch her man, she will definitely give her a piece of her mind!
“Miss Mu, please rest assured. Shiyin is not as unbearable as you think.”
Sensing Mu Hanqi's gaze, Qin Shiyin chuckled softly and found Mu Hanqi very cute. Of course, she only sighed a little.
Her current state has already severed any possibility of romance.
Here, everything is complete; there is everything. They are basically self-sufficient and do not need to go out. Even if they need anything, they only need to instruct the butler.
Mu Hanqi gave an awkward smile, “No way, my Wood is too outstanding.”
Yes, encountering such an outstanding man, it's normal to be filled with anxiety and apprehension.
Ye Longlin tapped Mu Hanqi's small head dotingly, “What are you thinking? Marshal Qin is not that kind of person.”
“Oh.”
Mu Hanqi giggled, holding her teacup while looking around at the environment, her eyes darting about.
“Shiyin has two lists here. One contains the information of twelve SS-class war criminals within Jinling, with very detailed information. General Ye only needs to take it and apprehend them.
The other list is a roster of Dark Department members that the General needs. This list has over a thousand people, distributed throughout the country. The highest cultivation is Grandmaster Dragon Elephant, and the lowest is Peak Martial King. I believe General Ye will need it.”
Qin Shiyin smiled and handed over a USB drive. Her demeanor as a young lady of noble birth was excellent, both in terms of upbringing and actions.
Ye Longlin frowned, “Why are you giving this to me?”
Things that the Dragon Pavilion had not yet discovered, this person had already uncovered them all, and she even knew about the Dark Department's information!
If she knows, does that mean Marshal Qin Hanlie also knows?
This is not good news.
The Dark Department was originally his personal asset, a choice to leave himself a way out.
As if sensing Ye Longlin's thoughts, Qin Shiyin continued to smile, “General Ye, please rest assured. I have no backup of this list here, and my father is unaware of it… Does General Ye know of an intelligence organization called Nine Heavens Cloud Firmament?”
That’s right, this makes sense!
Nine Heavens signifies the desire to soar freely, while Cloud Firmament represents status!
“It seems you are the mysterious person behind Nine Heavens Cloud Firmament.”
Qin Shiyin smiled, not explaining, but that smile was enough to say it all.
Ye Longlin took the USB drive and looked up at her, “You’ve given me such a great gift. What do you want in return, or rather, what do you wish to obtain from me?”
Qin Shiyin extended two slender fingers, “I need Mr. Ye to agree to two requests. First, when my father faces life-threatening danger, Mr. Ye needs to protect my father. Second, I haven’t quite figured that out yet. If I do, I will tell Mr. Ye.”
This woman’s intelligence and emotional quotient are both very high.
Her change in address for Ye Longlin was very skillful, clearly indicating what she intended to say.
When discussing military matters, she addressed him as General Ye. When not mentioning the military, she used the term “Mister.”
“Mister” does not solely refer to a man. In ancient times and in rural areas today, it generally refers to a learned person or someone older than oneself. In ancient times, addressing someone as “Mister” also carried the meaning of learning from them.
“I can agree to the first condition, but I hope you can tell me the second one as soon as possible. Otherwise, time waits for no one.”
Ye Longlin nodded and accepted the intelligence, but also issued a reminder.
“Mr. Ye, please rest assured. My father is Qin Hanlie, and I, Qin Shiyin, will naturally not do anything detrimental to the country. I can guarantee you that all requests will be within Mr. Ye’s capabilities, will not violate any regulations, nor will they harm the nation’s interests.”
Qin Shiyin stated this decisively, and Ye Longlin believed her, not saying any more.
Or rather, he believed Marshal Qin, not the name Qin Shiyin.
Nine Heavens Cloud Firmament, this organization is the largest intelligence network in the country, collecting intelligence far beyond the Dragon Pavilion.
“But, my fiancée said that external rumors suggest this is the residence of a legendary figure?”
