Chapter 1567: Chapter 1569: Codename Lone Wolf
Meng Xinian heard this, and raised his eyebrows faintly.
âThis kind of talk, Deputy Du, please donât say it again in the future. It sounds as if I almost abducted your daughter. How did I hear that your daughter is only ten years old?â
âWellâŠâ Deputy Du suddenly found himself at a loss, shaking his head and saying, âMy daughter is indeed only ten years old! What I meant was Jinruo.â
Seeing Meng Xinianâs indifferent expression, he continued, âDonât tell me you didnât know that Jinruo is my cousinâs daughter?â
âI didnât pay attention. None of that has anything to do with work,â Meng Xinian replied. âBesides, the statement you made earlier was really incorrect. Between Comrade Du Jinruo and me, thereâs no such thing as familiarity. At most, I can say I know her, I know of her, and recognize who she is. How does that translate to almost being family?â
âAlright, alright, I get it. Youâre not interested in Jinruo. But let me tell you anywayâyou know Fong Jianye, that kid? Lately, heâs been going all out, clashing fiercely with the Gao Family over and over again, all because of Jinruo. In other words, Jinruoâs not lacking suitors, so you donât need to worry about her pestering you anymore.â
âDeputy Du, if you want to keep bringing this up, then Iâll have to excuse myself.â
Meng Xinian stood up.
He came here not to listen to endless talk about Du Jinruo.
That woman. He wouldnât say heâs completely moved on from her, but indeed, back in the day, she once caused Chiang Xiaoxiao to stop contacting him for quite a while.
âLittle Meng, why so impatient?â Deputy Du gestured with his hand to calm him down, signaling him to sit again. âSit, sit, sit. I invited you here to discuss official matters. Cheng Cheng, have you heard of him?â
Hearing him mention official work, Meng Xinian finally sat down again, frowning slightly and asking, âAre you talking about Cheng Cheng from the X Province Alliance District, Pioneer A-team, codename Lone Wolf?â
Deputy Du chuckled and said, âI see, people with equivalent skills in the same field really do pay extra attention to one another. You even know Cheng Chengâs codename?â
âWhy are you suddenly bringing him up?â
âWell, I poached him over. Arenât we organizing a Thunderstorm Counter-Offensive Competition? Since youâre not leading the team in this round, and our old rivals seem to have enlisted some formidable figures, we absolutely canât afford to lose. So, I brought Cheng Cheng in. Borrowed him for two months. What do you think? Not bad, huh?â
The Thunderstorm Counter-Offensive Competition will, at its core, pull together forces from the naval, ground, and air divisions of the three Alliance Districts into a team. The competition will take place in a designated area. Each squad will consist of six in-house elites, plus the flexibility to borrow an additional two regardless of their roles.
For their squad, Meng Xinian had been selected to serve as an Officer for the competitionâs command center, meaning he couldnât compete directly.
This arrangement had enraged Yang Zhiqi for two days now. He firmly believed it was an alliance-wide conspiracy hatched by other teams to weaken their sideâs battlefield prowess.
While it looked like Meng Xinian had been promoted, in reality, Meng Xinian was an absolute fighting powerhouse on their team. Without him in action, the outcome of the competition truly became uncertain.
Yang Zhiqi had been cursing all those folks, asserting they were simply scared of losing and had come up with such a lousy tactic.
And securing elite competitors from outside the local regions? Thatâs no easy task.
Some had long been borrowed by other squads; others were fiercely retained by their own teams who refused to release them at any cost; still others were busy on missions, and syncing schedules was nearly impossible.
As for Cheng Cheng, heâs someone virtually every team had their eyes on and was eager to borrow.
Because next to Meng Xinian, Cheng Cheng from the X Province Alliance District holds an unmistakable prominence.
