"good."
The person on the other side took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and spoke while taking a deep breath.
"Tenth Elder, our radar detected a submarine in the waters around Baishi Island, carrying a missile head. It looks like... that."
He didn't even dare to say it directly.
There was a hint of doubt in the old man's eyes.
He put his words together and went over them in his mind: submarine... missile head... he understood everything in an instant!
His face changed immediately.
He immediately questioned his men who remained on the island: "What's wrong with you? The enemy's submarine was right in front of you, and you didn't even notice it."
"Tenth Elder, the detection radar did not send out any warnings before. We really did not think that someone would drive a submarine through the foggy area."
The staff on the other end explained in a low voice.
The old man's face was as cold as ice, his eyes were sharp, and he interrupted his defense: "Alright, I don't want to hear the explanation, go and accept the punishment yourself!"
"yes."
The staff member swallowed his grievances and reminded in a weak voice: "The other party must have a powerful hacker who hacked into the island's radar detection system, otherwise the radar detection would not have missed so many behemoths and not warned at all..."
The old man didn't respond and hung up the phone.
He looked up at the time again.
Exactly five minutes had passed on the wall clock.
Veins bulged on the old man's forehead, and he no longer had the relaxed attitude he had before. For the first time, he felt an invisible hand pushing him forward.
And the owner of that hand was not even 20 years old.
A young girl in her early 20s made him feel such pressure!
The tenth elder clenched his jaw, resting his hands on the back of the leather sofa beside him, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
But a phone call soon broke the deadlock.
His eyelids twitched as he looked at the phone that had been placed aside. He walked over to pick it up and looked down at the caller ID.
As expected, it was Qiao Nian who called.
He felt the invisible pressure in the air suddenly increase, and the frustration of being outmaneuvered by a yellow-haired girl. His cell phone kept ringing.
The ten elders finally picked up the call.
"You are just like grandma said, a wolf cub! I underestimated you."
…
The girl who was drifting far away in the sea of Baishi Island looked much colder when she heard him mention Nie Qingru: "Five minutes have passed, have you made your choice?"
The muscles on the Tenth Elder's cheeks twitched violently, and he warned her, "I know what you want the tungsten metal for. I advise you not to follow your mother's old path and put yourself on a path of no return."
Qiao Nian was very impatient: "I asked you if you have made your choice?"
The Tenth Elder had never been looked down upon by a junior like this before, and he was choked with speech. After several seconds, he rolled his eyes and suppressed the anger surging in his chest.
"I'll let you go."
When he said this, it was as if he was about to die.
The tone was reluctant.
Qiao Nian didn't need him to be willing, he hummed and said lightly: "You used the wrong word. It's not about letting go, but about ensuring that we leave safely."
Letting go is the forgiveness of the superior to the inferior.
They are no longer in the position of a superior speaking to someone below them, but are in an equal position.
we can even say.
They also suppressed the old man.
It would be too arrogant for the old man to tell her to 'let go' again.
The Ten Elders probably didn't expect Qiao Nian to be so arrogant. After a long while, they replied, "You can go. I will ensure that you leave safely. But after you leave, you need to drive away those things in the sea outside Baishi Island."
