Chương 6: Accustomed to Living Alone
Two hours after Zhang Dezheng disembarked, the villa area was greeted by two armored vehicles, a medium-sized military truck, an ordinary military jeep, and a black car with military plates parked in front of the villa.
A team of fully armed special forces soldiers dispersed around the villa under the instruction of their leader, a major, to ensure no issues arose. Simultaneously, an old man in a military uniform disembarked, with epaulettes hanging from his shoulders.
The commotion outside naturally caught the attention of Lin Ye and the others.
"It's almost time!"
After Zhang Dezheng stood up and walked towards the door, Lin Ye and Zhang Lihua immediately followed.
Although Zhang Dezheng had retired, when the old man in the military uniform saw him, he immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Chairman!"
"Alright, you don't have to do that. I really thought about sending you here."
"Chairman, didn't I come here as soon as I received the order?" The old man in the military uniform smiled. Facing his old leader, he naturally had to show full respect.
In the previous counterattack, when he was serving on the staff, this person was his direct superior. That respect only grew stronger over time.
"I leave this person to you. You must ensure his safety. I trust you understand the importance. I won't be going. I'm getting older, so I leave such things to the young."
"Chairman, I'm already over fifty." The old man in the military uniform smiled. Faced with a joke from his old leader, he could only respond with a smile.
"At least you're younger than me!" Zhang Dezheng smiled and made two gestures with his right hand, signaling Lin Ye to follow them.
After saluting the principal and counselor, Lin Ye turned and followed the old man in the military uniform and got into the black car with military plates.
As the door closed, the sounds outside seemed to vanish. Lin Ye knew this must be the car's soundproof function.
At this moment, the feeling was very different.
"Student Lin, please stay with me from now on until new orders are given." After signaling the driver to start driving, the old man in the military uniform spoke seriously.
He was aware of Lin Ye's abilities, and according to the information he received, if the other party wanted to leave, no one could stop him. Although it might be an exaggeration, it was still necessary to take these precautions.
"Chairman, I understand." Lin Ye sat in his seat with a serious expression.
After making such a decision, he had considered what might happen to him, and it was all acceptable.
"Principal, Lin Ye ..."
Although he knew Lin Ye would be fine, Zhang Lihua, as a counselor, was still a bit worried. After all, the other party had been his student for over two years.
"After this, prepare for Lin Ye's withdrawal formalities! Also, Little Zhang, prepare to be transferred to work elsewhere. To maintain confidentiality, your future workplace will be with Lin Ye."
Seeing the convoy disappear from view, Zhang Dezheng sighed slightly and spoke.
He really didn't know whether with him, the country's future would be a shortcut to rapid development or a bloody path to the abyss. But... Giving up and doing nothing was impossible.
He couldn't choose to retreat because of the risk. There is no such thing as only benefits without risks in this world.
At this moment, every step in China's national strategy had to be taken carefully, step by step. However, even so, in the face of the invisible suppression by other countries in the world, it was still subject to various restrictions.
This... Perhaps God had opened another door for the motherland!
"So be it."
Zhang Lihua nodded. He had already thought about withdrawing from school. As for his job, he had considered it, but now that the other party had mentioned it, he could only accept it. Although he was a school teacher, he was also a soldier, and he had long been aware of the need for sacrifice.
Thinking about the series of confidentiality documents he would need to sign later, Zhang Lihua still felt a headache coming on.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ye Tianping, with the rank of major general." As the convoy drove out of the villa area, the other vehicles cleared the way in front, and the old man in the military uniform spoke first. "The person on your left is Major Yang Anli."
"Hello, two chairmen!"
Lin Ye was just a student and didn't even have a military rank. If he could force it, he could be considered a warrant officer, so it was very appropriate to call the others chairmen.
"I reviewed your resume on the way here. You're... very impressive!"
When Ye Tianping said this, his eyes shone brightly. There was nothing extraordinary about his appearance, but being able to go to the field and be requested by the division headquarters already showed his performance.
"Thank you, Chairman, for your praise."
Lin Ye wasn't modest or arrogant and accepted it calmly.
"Although Chairman Zhang has reported it to the higher-ups, I want to ask again if this other world truly exists."
When he came here, he had been reminded of this many times. Ye Tianping did not dare to forget it, nor could he forget it.
Lin Ye nodded seriously. Although there were many generals in the Republic, he somewhat understood the person sitting next to him.
"I guarantee it exists. As long as the organization needs it, I can immediately take people there."
"Then, do you know the general situation of that world?"
"I only stayed there for less than half a day, as there were no weapons around me. Although I did not make direct contact with the creatures there, instinctively I felt it was too dangerous, so I chose to return."
Whether it was their fangs or fierce eyes, there was no doubt that Lin Ye would not choose to retreat. There was no point in refusing there at all.
"You don't need to be too serious. In that case, I'll call you Little Ye. I'd like to know if you can tell me the reason why you reported this?"
It took great courage to report something like this, and Ye Tianping hoped to use this to assess the other party's attitude. Although the other party was a student at the military academy and had received a lot of education, human hearts are complicated, especially if he gained such power all at once; there was no guarantee he wouldn't change.
However, at least Lin Ye chose to report it. From this perspective, at least Lin Ye still trusted his country.
"Chairman, because I know that the existence of such a world will be related to the future of our country and has significant strategic importance. For an individual, it might give him a wealthy life, but if it does, it will be very disappointing. Therefore, I've always been educated by the country and finally decided to report this. Of course, I won't deny that I'm worried about being dissected and studied."
Lin Ye smiled awkwardly at the end.
Patting Lin Ye on the shoulder, Ye Tianping also smiled, "The country won't take such actions even for research. At most, it will be just blood sampling, which is no different from ordinary people donating blood and won't harm your life and health. Such worries are unnecessary."
"Yes. I know, which is why I chose to report it."
