"The situation looks quite serious now. I hadn't expected so many places to have been captured by the enemy.
Their ambition to destroy us is unyielding."
The elder said, patting the armrest.
"I also hadn't expected it to be so grave, which is why I've come to report to you.
What do you think of this..."
Another white-haired elder asked, bowing slightly.
"Investigate thoroughly. Since they've provided this list, we cannot afford to ignore it."
The elder stated.
"I fear there might be a conspiracy behind this.
Many of these individuals hold high positions and are considered leaders in their respective fields.
If we move against them, it might cause a major upheaval."
"That is where you come in. I trust you will uncover the truth."
"Should we question those in the military industry and aviation fields a bit later?"
The white-haired elder asked softly.
"No, the more critical the position, the sooner we must ascertain the situation.
We cannot wrongly accuse an innocent person, but we also cannot let a guilty one escape.
I despise traitors the most.
This must be thoroughly investigated."
"Will it affect us..."
"The impact is still better than them causing damage and disruption.
The higher the position of a traitor, the greater the damage they can inflict.
We must guard against this."
"Very well, I will make the arrangements now."
The white-haired elder agreed and prepared to leave.
"What is that young fellow recommended by Little Jiang doing now?"
"He's in the provincial capital looking after a child.
This list was obtained from the other party by him.
You've been abroad visiting these past few days, so I'm reporting to you today."
"When it's convenient, bring that young fellow to meet me.
The requests Little Jiang made last time should be fulfilled.
This young fellow must be protected."
"Rest assured, I've already made the arrangements."
"That's good. You may go now.
I haven't had a good rest these past few days, and I am indeed a bit tired."
"Please take good care of yourself.
I heard from Little Jiang that Guo Xuyang somehow procured some mutton, beef, and venison, which are good for recovery."
"Forget it. We already owe the young fellow quite a bit; let's not trouble him further."
"Then you rest. I'll go make the arrangements."
"Remember not to alert them, nor to let anyone slip away."
"Understood." The white-haired elder agreed and left the room.
"Boss, what did he say?"
Jiang Qixin eagerly asked as the white-haired elder entered.
"Prepare your men. Control them immediately and interrogate them one by one.
Absolutely do not let any escape, and do not wrongly accuse any innocent person."
The white-haired elder said.
"Yes, I guarantee the task will be completed."
Jiang Qixin immediately snapped to attention.
"Relax. Also, find time to bring Guo Xuyang over.
He wants to meet that young fellow."
The white-haired elder gestured upwards.
"Did he say anything specific?"
"No, just a simple meeting.
He probably wants to reward that young fellow.
You handle this personally.
And, ask him to bring some beef, mutton, and that venison."
"That's great. I'll call him as soon as I'm done with this."
"Have the people that young fellow requested last time been arranged?"
"I wouldn't dare proceed without your approval."
Jiang Qixin replied.
"Make the arrangements today. Select a few close guards to follow him.
He must not have any mishaps whatsoever."
"Understood." Jiang Qixin immediately straightened up.
For the white-haired elder to say such things meant that the higher-ups attached great importance to Guo Xuyang.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed after Jiang Qixin had been working on it for so long, nor would he be saying this now without reason.
Moreover, being able to select men from the personal guard team was an immense honor.
"Go. I want to see how many cowards are among these people.
A bunch of ungrateful individuals."
The white-haired elder waved his hand.
"I'll go make the arrangements now."
Jiang Qixin said and turned to leave.
