Li Yue's face immediately turned red upon hearing Su Yang's words.
"Ahem!" Li Yue glared at Su Yang playfully and said, "You should first see who has arrived."
Hearing this, Su Yang looked behind Li Yue. Xie Feng, dressed in an immortal-like attire, stood before Su Yang.
"Mr. Su."
Xie Feng cupped his hands towards Su Yang and bowed.
"Mr. Xie."
Xie Feng's status was different from others, and he was also learned and talented, so Su Yang naturally treated him differently.
Su Yang never expected that this strategist would be Xie Feng...
He wondered why the system hadn't rewarded him with money this time. Rewarding him with Xie Feng was far more valuable than any method of earning money.
Even if Su Yang didn't intend to develop in that direction for the time being, if he wanted to rise to the level of Kyoto's supreme, with Xie Feng's help, Su Yang would be like a tiger with wings.
Looking at the person before him, Su Yang felt a sense of surprise.
"Please have a seat, sir." Su Yang gestured, then looked towards the door and said, "Come in and pour tea."
Jiang Heima entered without delay.
A hacker from Kyoto, one of the world's top computer geniuses, would not say a word if Su Yang asked him to pour tea.
"Why has Mr. Xie come here?"
Su Yang actually knew why Xie Feng was here, as Xie Feng was the strategist rewarded to Su Yang by the system. However, there should be a gradual process.
"It's like this, President Li Yue told me that on that night, it was Mr. Su's design that led to me being found and rescued. I also heard that Mr. Su was injured, so I wanted to visit and check on you."
"Oh~"
Su Yang understood. Xie Feng considered him a lifesaver.
This indeed made Su Yang quite happy, as it was true that Su Yang had found and rescued Xie Feng.
"Mr. Xie, there's no need to worry. This is what I should do. You are a highly educated talent of Long Country. It is my honor to have been able to rescue you."
At the same time, Su Yang also received a piece of information.
Li Yue did not try to claim credit for herself and directly attributed the matter to Su Yang. This gave Su Yang significant merit in this matter, and he might even receive many rewards.
"I am just an ordinary person, Mr. Su. For you to risk your life to infiltrate the Dark Assassination Hall and rescue me is a display of great wisdom and courage."
"Mr. Xie's talent, in Long Country, is perhaps unparalleled."
"Then, does Mr. Su want me to be your person?"
Xie Feng stated this directly and frankly.
Su Yang was stunned for a moment.
Before Xie Feng said this, Su Yang had not been entirely certain that Xie Feng was the strategist provided by the system; he was still suspicious.
However, at this moment, Su Yang was already certain.
It was just that Su Yang hadn't expected Xie Feng to bring this up in front of Li Yue.
Although Li Yue had already been won over by Su Yang, Li Yue was, after all, a person of Long Country, not someone within Su Yang's inner circle, and would not entirely side with Su Yang.
Su Yang felt quite weary about this.
He glanced at Li Yue, but Li Yue showed no signs of surprise.
"Mr. Xie... are you serious?" Su Yang asked Xie Feng.
"Of course, I am serious, Mr. Su. Because you saved me, I do possess some strategic skills. If you don't mind that I spent over twenty years in Sang Country, then please take me in."
Hearing this, Su Yang pursed his lips and looked at Li Yue, saying, "Mr. Xie, I am certainly very willing to take you in, but... after all, you are a highly educated talent of Long Country. If you follow me..."
Su Yang's implication was quite clear. Li Yue, seeing Su Yang looking at her, understood what Su Yang meant.
So Li Yue said, "Mr. Xie was not considered an insider of Long Country more than twenty years ago. The election had not yet taken place, and Mr. Xie was a free man.
Now, returning to Long Country after more than twenty years, he is still a free man.
This morning, the Supreme met with Mr. Xie and stated that Mr. Xie is now free to choose whether to be an insider or to return to his hometown to live a retired life."
In fact, Xie Feng's treatment was exceptionally good.
There had been foreign highly educated talents returning to Long Country before.
But none of them received the same treatment as Xie Feng.
None had a higher official position than Xie Feng, and none had this additional option that Xie Feng had.
Moreover, if Xie Feng chose to retire, he would still be provided with financial support.
This point alone surpassed many, many people.
Hearing this, Su Yang nodded, "So that's how it is."
"Then, Mr. Xie, are you willing to follow me?" Su Yang looked at Xie Feng.
Xie Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Su saved me, and I, Xie Feng, should repay your kindness and bring you some rewards."
This was originally a reward from the system, and Su Yang had no intention of letting it go. The reason he had said those things earlier was because Li Yue was present.
Now that everything was clarified, Su Yang naturally accepted it with pleasure.
"Then I thank you for your choice, Mr. Xie. Su Yang will certainly not disappoint you in the future."
Xie Feng cupped his hands towards Su Yang and said, "I have also learned a little about you, Mr. Su. I know you are very intelligent, which is why I chose you."
Su Yang hadn't expected this at all, but he didn't comment.
"By the way, Li Yue, what is the outcome regarding Shangguan Zhongtang's matter?"
"What other outcome? Conviction and punishment."
"No interrogation?" Su Yang asked, somewhat confused.
"What is there to interrogate? All the evidence is there. The authorities have also investigated everything. Shangguan Zhongtang is now speechless, and any word he speaks is met with corresponding evidence placed before him."
Although Li Yue was very tired, she woke up after not much sleep. She had too many things to do. Fortunately, during her training, she had endured hardships a hundred times worse than this, which allowed her to persevere now.
Otherwise, like an ordinary person, Li Yue would have collapsed long ago.
"Is that so? Then did my evidence play a role?" Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Do you even need to ask? It was your evidence that led us to start the investigation. You are the super hero of this matter. The Supreme even said he wanted to meet you, but then he had other matters to attend to and couldn't meet you for the time being."
Hearing Li Yue's words, Su Yang was taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the Supreme would want to meet him.
"Don't be nervous, the Supreme speaks kindly."
"Yes," Xie Feng chimed in from the side.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just surprised that the Supreme wanted to meet me."
"What's so surprising about that? You've brought down two high-ranking officials within the system, and you've also rescued Mr. Xie. This is truly a great accomplishment," Li Yue explained.
Su Yang knew it was a great accomplishment, but he hadn't expected it to be so significant.
So significant that the Supreme himself wanted to meet Su Yang.
"Is there nothing else for me to do after this?" Su Yang asked.
Li Yue shook her head, "No, but you will personally handle Shangguan Zhongtang's punishment later, which will take about a month."
"No, it's my person who will personally handle Shangguan Zhongtang's punishment. You contact my person."
Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yue was stunned. "Contact your person? Who?"
Su Yang gave Li Yue Shangguan Qianji's contact information and said, "You'll know when the time comes, but don't be too surprised. Perhaps this person will tell you why it's him."
"Aren't you staying here to watch?" Li Yue looked at Su Yang, her eyes filled with panic.
"I... Kyoto is not my home after all. I must return there later." Looking at Li Yue, Su Yang invited, "Songhai has beautiful scenery. Come back with me, and I will treat you well."
"But..." Li Yue was very conflicted.
After indulging for a whole night yesterday, Li Yue had also thought a lot. Unless Su Yang stayed in Kyoto, Li Yue would not follow Su Yang.
"I have many people here, and I have many things to do. Can't you stay for me?"
