Lin Yi smiled awkwardly and took the cigarette. Then, he took the initiative to light Lu Beichen’s cigarette.
“Elder Lu, did you specially ask me to come over just to smoke and drink tea?”
“How’s the situation in Sunrise Land?” Lu Beichen asked.
“Yushi Mitsui is dead. If no one stands up to replace him, his group will likely disband,” Lin Yi answered truthfully.
“The only person who can develop the gene sequence serum now is the Mitsui family.”
Lu Beichen flicked the cigarette ash. “What do you think of these two sides?”
“Yushi Mitsui is much weaker than the Mitsui Family,” Lin Yi said.
“However, it might be because the development period was too short. This operation has killed them in the cradle.”
“However, it’s hard for me to judge the Mitsui family. I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of strength and foundation. Moreover, they might have connections with the officials of Sunrise Land. There’s no way to tell the exact situation.”
Lu Beichen nodded thoughtfully. “Actually, looking at the international situation, the threat that Sunrise Land can pose to us isn’t big. We just have to be careful.”
Lin Yi looked up and glanced at Lu Beichen. He felt like he had been entrusted with an important task.
Otherwise, it was unlikely that he would tell Lin Yi these things.
“Elder Lu, are you going to tell me something?” Lin Yi probed.
“It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you about your future plans.” Lu Beichen said.
“You’re Team 1’s team leader now. Are you planning anything?”
“I haven’t really thought about it. I just do whatever the higher-ups arrange. 1 don’t have many merits; I’m just obedient. I go wherever I’m told and handle whatever needs to be done.”
“You brat, you only know how to talk nonsense with me every day.” Lu Beichen laughed and said.
“If only you were so obedient.”
Lin Yi also smiled and said, “I’m taking it one step at a time. 1 plan to follow the elite path, but I’m not sure if I’ll meet the right people.”
“Then come with me. I’ll refer you to someone.”
“You’re giving me a referral? Is it for anything impressive?”
“I don’t know about that. Go take a look and judge for yourself.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi stood up and went over to help Lu Beichen up. The two of them walked towards the training ground in the courtyard.
“Oh, so you are aware?” Lu Beichen said, “You don’t even give me any respect. After so many years, you’re only the second person to do this.”
“Really? I thought no one but me would dare to refuse you.”
Lu Beichen smiled and did not say anything. However, he cursed in his heart.
“Who else could it be? It was your old man.”
Just as the two of them were talking, an old man with white hair and beard walked over with a slightly younger man.
“Old Lu, what do you think of my grandson?”
The old man’s name was Sui Jizhou. He came from the Sui Family in Sichuan Province and was a big family in the province.
And here, Lu Beichen was naturally there to help.
The young man standing beside him was called Sui Xiang. He was Sui Jizhou’s grandson and Sui Qiang’s younger brother. However, his level was very poor and he had yet to cross the threshold. He did not have the ability to participate in the trial training.
“1 think he’s alright, but their team leader isn’t too satisfied. He’s going to have to participate in the trial tomorrow to determine the overall result.”
“Team leader?”
Instinctively, the two of them looked at Lin Yi.
His attire was different from the others and he was standing beside Lu Beichen.
The team leader he was talking about should be him.
“He’s the team leader of Team 1?” Sui Jizhou probed.
When they were previously chatting, Lu Beichen had said that he wanted his grandson to join Team 1.
Hence, he was able to identify Lin Yi.
“Yes, this is the leader of Team 1, Lin Yi.”
Sui Xiang looked at Lin Yi for a long time.
He had met the other two leaders of the Central Guards Brigade before. They were both in their thirties.
Wasn’t this person a little too young?
He seemed to be the same age as him. How did he become the team leader of Team 1?
Could he have got in through nepotism?
His background must be quite something.
Sui Jizhou took the initiative to extend his hand. Lin Yi did the same. He shook it briefly as a form of greeting.
“Team Leader Lin, I want to ask, what are you unsatisfied with? Can you tell me?”
