Zhang Zhong realized he had blundered.
"Well, what I mean is…"
He swallowed, flashing a smile at Xia Qingyan: "This young lady, my name is Zhang Erwa."
"We're here to do business with Chairman Chen. Our company's main business is…"
Chen Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Bluffing!
Chen Hao glared at him, annoyed.
First it was saluting, then reporting. I told him more than once not to be so polite. And now look?
What to do?
He had an idea!
As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them.
Applied here, that means…
Since I'm exposed, I'll just pull her in!
"In view of Comrade Xia Qingyan's outstanding contributions to the economy and her generous donations to the country, her merits are undeniable!"
Chen Hao raised his head and said loudly, "I, on behalf of the military, hereby conscript you into the Chinese army and confer upon you the rank of Major!"
"Remember! As a soldier, you must adhere to your duties and abide by military discipline!"
"Such as keeping secrets, otherwise…"
"You'll be sent to a military court!"
Huh?!
Xia Qingyan, already bewildered, was now even more so.
"Who exactly are you…" she repeated her earlier question.
"Would you believe me if I told you?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"I…"
"Comrade Xia Qingyan."
Zhang Zhong walked over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xia Qingyan's pupils instantly constricted, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Chen Hao in disbelief.
These words…
If Chen Hao had said them, she definitely wouldn't have believed them.
After all, it was too exaggerated.
But now…
Spoken to her by a Major General who appeared on television many times, she had no choice but to believe it.
General?
At that moment, her understanding shattered and her worldview nearly collapsed!
She had watched Chen Hao grow up step by step. They were business partners.
She knew this young man was powerful.
Dominating the global business world!
Fleecing the entire West!
Having earned trillions, a hundred times more than China's richest man!
But…
Even though she already knew Chen Hao was unbelievably powerful, at this moment she realized she didn't understand him nearly enough!
Now.
Only four words remained in her mind.
Second to none!
"Comrade Xia Qingyan."
Chen Hao lowered his voice: "Today's events are top secret, understand what I mean?"
"U-understand!"
She nodded blankly.
She had inexplicably become a Major.
Did she even agree to it?
Oh well!
Since the other party conscripted her with such transcendent status, she had no choice but to agree. And once she had the rank of Major, it meant… she had to accept military regulations.
Leaking top secrets meant going to military court.
It meant being executed by firing squad!
Just death?
No!
As a traitor who leaked state secrets, her name would be forever nailed to the pillar of shame!
She now regretted following Chen Hao so much.
If she had known this would happen.
She would have been beaten to death before following him!
"Sis…" Chen Hao felt he should offer some comfort.
"Yes!"
Xia Qingyan's body tensed.
"No… you don't have to be like that usually. Just be the same as before," Chen Hao said awkwardly.
"Yes!"
"…"
Chen Hao was devastated.
He didn't know if pulling his sister-in-law into this was the right decision.
But in that situation, it was the only idea he could come up with. What else could he do?
Fortunately!
After letting Zhang Zhong find a place to stay first and separating, he returned to the oncology department. Along the way, Xia Qingyan's mood finally gradually calmed down.
"You… are you really a General?" she asked, keeping her voice extremely low, afraid of being overheard.
Leaking secrets = execution!
"Really."
"Why…"
"It's a coincidence."
"…"
Xia Qingyan was both nervous and couldn't help but laugh.
A General!
The kind with three stars!
How could it be a coincidence? Who are you kidding!
"You said Grandma will be alright."
An idea struck her: "You're planning to develop some kind of new drug, right? So, the targeted drug you gave Qin Lang before, claiming it was led by Qing Mo and that you were assisting Qing Mo—in fact, you were leading it!"
At that moment, she was very certain that Chen Hao was quietly guiding her, and her sister simply didn't have that ability.
It's just…
The guidance was very subtle, and her sister didn't notice.
Chen Hao was stunned, staring at her intently, his brow furrowed.
"Don't worry, I won't tell!"
Xia Qingyan woke up: "Although… no matter what, everything you do is for Qing Mo!"
Is this considered deception?
It's not important!
What's important is that everything Chen Hao does is for his sister.
Even…
She couldn't help but feel envious.
The former him was like the bright moon in the sky.
She couldn't understand why Chen Hao, such an outstanding person, chose her sister.
Now.
When his deepest identity was exposed, he was like the scorching sun hanging in the sky.
Yet he was so meticulous and thoughtful towards his sister.
"Sis, just say there's a lab that developed a targeted drug for pancreatic cancer, and you used your connections to get it, and it's on its way here."
As Xia Qingyan's thoughts were in turmoil, Chen Hao added, "Tell Qing Mo not to worry, Grandma will definitely be fine!"
She nodded silently.
See!
To keep his sister from worrying, he racked his brains to make up a story.
…
In the evening.
Chen Hao gave the deputy director a list, itemizing all the necessary materials.
With the donation boost, various materials arrived in a short time, and Chen Hao entered the drug laboratory.
At the same time.
A thousand kilometers away.
An island of nearly 4 square kilometers, like a beast lurking in the sea, with surrounding ships dwarfed in comparison.
It was dark.
But the moonlight was particularly bright tonight.
Even from a distance, one could still see the ships on the sea near the island.
Kongo-class destroyer.
Nearly 10,000 tons displacement fully loaded!
127mm fully automatic naval gun.
12X eight-cell MK-41 vertical launch system.
Close-in weapon system.
Helicopter platform.
This warship alone far surpassed China's Luhu-class, the difference in firepower and performance even greater than the difference in tonnage!
What's more…
Not far from the Kongo-class destroyer, there was also a Murasame-class equipped with Aegis, fully loaded at 6,000 tons, and two Hatakaze-class—this was a destroyer fleet!
Anyone could guess that there were definitely big black fish underwater.
For example, Oyashio-class attack submarines.
In contrast, the two coast guard ships in the distance seemed particularly small.
Coast Guard.
The large red characters on the hull were very eye-catching.
But they lacked deterrence.
With a displacement of less than 1,000 tons, only one-tenth of the Kongo-class destroyer, the two were like small fishing boats in comparison.
"Baga!"
Kongo-class destroyer command center.
Watanabe Hideyuki, holding binoculars, looked at the two lonely small boats with disdain: "Remember! As long as these fools dare to approach within one nautical mile, immediately fire a warning shot, without hesitation!"
"Yes!"
The deputy was very excited.
He was never afraid of the Chinese.
In his opinion, if North America and the Soviet Union hadn't intervened back then, China would have long been theirs.
Sixty years ago, the Chinese were no match for them.
Sixty years later, it's the same!
At this time.
One of the coast guard ships approached them, while shouting: "You have invaded our territorial waters, leave immediately!"
Watanabe Hideyuki smiled.
The little broken boat really dared to approach?
"Murakami!" he nodded.
"Yes!"
The deputy turned and issued an order: "Prepare a warning shot!"
