Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Hey, Brother Yang!”

“Oh, Xiao Chao, is there something you need?”

“Brother Yang, do you have time today? There’s something very important I want to discuss with you in person.”

“Something very important? Where are you?” Xiao Yang remained silent for a moment before finally asking for the current location.

“I’m at Building 30 in the courtyard by the canal!”

“I understand. I’ll come to see you later!”

“Brother Yang, if possible, could you bring a few people with you?” Xiao Yang at the other end of the conversation fell silent.

“You always come up with challenging situations for me. 1 got it.” After saying that, Xiao Yang hung up the phone. Zhou Chao held the phone and pondered for a moment.

Zhou Chao seemed to realize something and quickly got up and left the study.

“Lin Wu, go buy a few high-capacity USB drives right away. 1 need them, and they must be of the highest quality.”

“Understood, Boss,” Lin Wu said and left with the keys.

“Wang Feng, someone will be coming later. Arrange for someone to receive them at the entrance. 1 don’t want anyone else to know who’s coming today!” Zhou Chao said sternly to Wang Feng and the others.

“Yes, Boss.” Wang Feng and the others didn’t show any signs of slack, all of them fully focused.

“When Lin Wu returns, tell him to come to the study.”

“Got it, Noss.” Zhou Chao nodded and turned to head upstairs.

“Knock knock knock.” An urgent knocking sound interrupted Zhou Chao’s thoughts.

“Come in.” Zhou Chao knew it must be Lin Wu who had returned.

“Boss, I’ve brought the things you wanted,” Lin Wu said as he took out four or five high-capacity USB drives from his pocket.

“Just put them on the table. You can leave for now. Someone will come to see me later, and you can just bring them to my study.” Lin Wu left the study upon hearing this and gently closed the door behind him.

Zhou Chao gazed at the computer before him, disconnected the Ethernet cable, and retrieved a USB drive from the system repository. This USB drive held information about a 511111 semiconductor lithography technology. He initiated the process of copying the data.

“All, finally done copying. Didn’t expect there to be so much data.” Zhou Chao leaned back in his chair, hands holding his head. He finally saw the progress bar reach 100%, and he immediately took the copied USB drive back to the system repository.

Zhou Chao looked at the USB drive he had obtained from signing in, then put it in his jacket pocket.

At this moment, Xiao Yang had already arrived at the courtyard’s entrance. He glanced back at the two military jeeps parked not far away, then knocked on the courtyard gate.

“Coming.” Wang Feng, who had been waiting by the gate, heard the knocking and immediately responded.

Wang Feng swung the gate open and locked eyes with the man before him. His expression froze momentarily, and then he promptly straightened up, offering a salute. “Good day, General Instructor.”

Xiao Yang also appeared somewhat surprised. He furrowed his brows slightly. “You recognize me?”

“Reporting, General Instructor, I participated in the military district’s special training a few years ago and saw you.” Wang Feng’s response was unexpected, but Xiao Yang didn’t pay too much attention to it.

“Is Zhou Chao at home?”

“General Instructor, my boss is waiting for you. Please follow me.” Wang Feng quickly closed the door and led Xiao Yang inside.

“This kid’s living the good life. This courtyard must not be cheap!” Xiao Yang looked at the Suzhou-like courtyard and couldn’t help but marvel.

As soon as Xiao Yang entered, three voices greeted him, “Good day, General Instructor.”

“Lin Wu, what are you doing here?” Xiao Yang was quite surprised to see Lin Wu standing at the staircase.

“You seem to have changed your contact details after your swift departure from the military. 1 even sent someone to search for you back then, but we couldn’t track you down. How are things at home now?” Xiao Yang placed a reassuring hand on Lin Wu’s shoulder.

“Thank you for your concern, General Instructor. My father has recovered, and I have to thank my boss for his help.”

“Well, that Xiao Chao guy is not bad.”

“Instructor, are you still connected to your previous unit?” Xiao Yang understood that Lin Wu was inquiring about his military history. After all, having spent numerous years there, it’s only natural to have emotional ties.

“Don’t worry, everything is fine. I’ve transferred to the security department now. Let me see Xiao Chao first, and then we can have a proper chat.” Xiao Yang looked at Lin Wu, whose eyes were already somewhat teary. He patted his shoulder again.

“My boss asked me to take you to his study. Instructor, please come with me.” Lin Wu led Xiao Yang upstairs.

Xiao Yang entered the room directly and saw Zhou Chao busy with two large boxes.

“Hey, Brother Yang, you’re here. Please have a seat. Lin Wu, go make some tea and bring it in.” Zhou Chao heard the door open and looked up to see Xiao Yang walking in. He quickly stood up to welcome him.

“You’re doing well, kid. You’ve managed to win over my good soldiers.” Xiao Yang teased Zhou Chao.

“Lin Wu mentioned earlier that they used to be under Brother Yang. We’re practically family!” Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu, who was carrying the tea with a smile on his face, making Lin Wu feel quite embarrassed.

“What’s the matter today that made you go to such lengths to bring me here and even ask me to bring people along?” Xiao Yang picked up the freshly brewed tea and took a sip.

“Lin Wu, you can leave for now.” Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu standing to the side.

“Yes, Boss.” Lin Wu exited the study, and Zhou Chao turned his attention to Xiao Yang.

“Why all this secrecy? Tell me, what’s the important matter?” Xiao Yang looked at Zhou Chao’s cautious expression and knew that something significant must have happened today.

“Brother Yang, take a look at those two boxes.” Zhou Chao gestured with his lips, indicating the two large wooden boxes on the table.

“So secretive.” Xiao Yang set down his tea cup, got up, and walked over. Upon opening the boxes, he was instantly stunned.

“Beast heads? Are they real or fake?” Xiao Yang quickly opened the second box, looking at the two beast heads in front of him. He was equally astonished.

“Of course, they’re real. Otherwise, why would 1 have you come over?” At this moment, Zhou Chao remained quite calm. After all, who wouldn’t be surprised upon seeing these things?

“You’re quite something, kid.” Looking at the two beast heads placed before him, they were indeed the missing rooster and dog beast heads.

Xiao Yang took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, then carefully examined the rooster beast head. Though he couldn’t determine their authenticity for sure, having dealt with a few other beast heads before, he was about 70-80% confident that these were real.

“How did you obtain these things?” Xiao Yang asked the question he most wanted to know.

“Can I not tell you, Brother Yang?” Xiao Yang looked calmly at Zhou Chao, who returned his gaze without any guilt.

“So, this is why you called me.” After a while, Xiao Yang finally said with a smile.

“I asked Xiao Feng before, and he told me I could trust you completely.”

“It seems 1 didn’t misjudge you. Alright then, 1’11 take these things back for now, and I’ll handle the rest.” Saying this, Xiao Yang prepared to leave with the box containing the beast heads.

“Brother Yang, please don’t rush. If it were just because of these two beast heads, 1 wouldn’t have asked you to bring people along.”

Zhou Chao’s words were undoubtedly like dropping a bomb in Xiao Yang’s ears..
