Chapter 5, Experts

Yes, yes, yes, I understand, Leader. The experts who have come to assist us have all set aside their own tasks, and we must not let them feel disheartened. I will definitely follow your instructions and treat the experts as if they were my own family. Alright, I will take care of it right away

Shi Guofu is a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a somewhat unkempt appearance. After seeing Lv Qingliang shake hands, he asked with some confusion: "Hello to both of you. You are looking for me to..."

It's nothing, it's nothing. You, young man, have a temper with me. Let me see you off

If it were not for Captain Zhang Dingshan at the front line sending instructions that the investigation task requires the assistance of Old Man Cheng Zhou this week, he would be reluctant to deal with such a person

Chen Yu saw Shi Guofu swallow and his Adam's apple moved slightly

Anyone would feel a sense of admiration for such a disciplined and health-conscious woman. However, the elderly man named Zhou Cheng merely snorted coldly and chose to ignore her.

Lü Qingliang smiled and shook his head: "Convincing these experts to assist us is merely the final step, the least important task. Before this final step, you must first understand what kind of experts we need for the tasks we face, those who can help us solve our problems. After that, you need to know where to find such experts. Only then can we proceed to persuade them to assist us." Before this final step, you must first understand what kind of experts we need for the tasks we face, those who can help us solve our problems. After that, you need to know where to find such experts. Only then can we proceed to persuade them to assist us.

It's nothing, it's nothing. It's only right, it's only right.

Chen Yu immediately closed his mouth. After a moment, he said: "Brother Lv, I understand."

Chen Yu's eyes nearly popped out.

Chen Yu felt a deep sense of苦 in his heart

Lu, Brother Lu, how did you do it

Lv Qingliang still wore a smile on his face: "I understand, Professor Shi is such a top scientist, he must have many projects on hand. However, this matter is quite difficult for our bureau; the leadership has also mentioned that, regarding this issue, it seems that apart from Professor Shi, no one else will do."

Take your time to learn

Following Lv Qingliang's gaze, Chen Yu, a staff member of the Second Logistics Division of the Thirteenth Bureau of Planetary Security, saw an elderly man with graying hair, a sullen complexion, and an expression that exuded a stern demeanor

Before Shi Guofu could finish his words of refusal, Lü Qingliang's phone suddenly rang

I must criticize you on this, Xiao Lu. We are all contributing to civilization, and we should not focus solely on that small amount of allowance. What difference does it make whether it is more or less

... ...

Lü Qingliang still wore a faint smile at the corner of his mouth as he stood downstairs waiting. Soon, he saw Chen Yu, looking disheveled, come out.

"Logistics work is not as easy as it seems," Lü Qingliang said with a smile. "What can you do if a once world-renowned, now retired old man gets annoyed and refuses to come? Arrest him and throw him in jail?"

It's nothing, it's nothing. Um, you're Xiao Lu, right? Um, about the task allowance...

After glancing at the sign hanging on the gate that read "Seventh Research Institute of the Academy of Biological Sciences," Chen Yu took a deep breath and entered alongside Lu Qingliang

Hello, Uncle Zhou, I am ... ... Oh, please don't close the door yet, let me speak, hey, don't push me, I am not a bad person, I mean no harm, I, I ... ...

Hello, I am looking for Professor Shi Guofu. I have an appointment.

Chen Yu waited downstairs with a face full of displeasure

What demands could Old Man Zhou possibly have

Hello Professor Shi, we are from the Planetary Security Bureau. We have come to seek your assistance with a task...

Are you referring to the task allowance? Professor Shi, the leadership is quite attentive to this task and has specifically allocated a substantial budget for it, so you need not worry about the allowances.

It is said that Brother Lü is a good candidate for logistics, able to get along with anyone, manage relationships well, and advance work effectively. In my opinion, when it comes to dealing with this old man, even Brother Lü will end up with a nose full of dust

This ... ...

Which Professor Zhang? I have not heard of him. Who is this?

In the midst of Chen Yu's astonished gaze, he saw that Zhou Cheng, who had previously worn a gloomy expression, was now beaming with a smile, warmly escorting Lv Qingliang downstairs.

Chen Yu, you cannot say that. Do you know that Professor Shi's child is seriously ill and that the surgery requires a lot of money? Are you aware that if he completes the project he is currently working on, he will receive at least one million in project awards?

Having resolved the matter concerning Zhou Cheng, the two immediately proceeded without pause to another location

Observing the woman's enthusiastic attitude towards Lv Qingliang, Chen Yu felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy arise within him

Shi Guofu shrugged his shoulders slightly, saying: "But I have been very busy lately, and I am afraid I won't be able to find the time. Moreover, the leadership side also..."

Despite Chen Yu's gaze filled with admiration, Lu Qingliang's thoughts had already drifted far away

Well then, goodbye

Brother Lü, this old man simply does not listen to what I say

The meaning of evasion within the discourse is quite evident

After waiting for more than three hours, under the guidance of that woman, Lu Qingliang and Chen Yu indeed met Shi Guofu

Captain, with experts Zhou Cheng and Shi Guofu on the case, if we still cannot determine whether that cremator was murdered or if Lu Ming is faking his death, then it seems no one on this planet will be able to uncover the truth.

Lü Qingliang took the document from Chen Yu's hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Learn from this. Just wait."

Lü Qingliang had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "I saw him."

His words and the illustrations in the book were interrupted before he could finish by Lu Qingliang

Lü Qingliang and Chen Yu merely observed in secret and saw Zhou Cheng wandering around the park, scolding and reprimanding various things. After a round of admonishments, he finally returned home. The two of them then followed him to the base of the building where he lived

Yes, yes, yes, you are absolutely right in your teachings. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people of such high moral integrity as you. So, regarding our matter, what do you think...

You understand? No, you do not understand

Although I cannot disclose the details, this is ultimately a summons from higher authorities, and the old man should show some respect this week

As he approached, the gazes of several young women were drawn to him, yet they dared not look for long; a single glance was all they allowed themselves before averting their eyes, stealing furtive glances instead.

Lü Qingliang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Make sure to study well"

However, upon seeing himself, Old Man Zhou let out a hum, clearly disdainful of engaging with himself

I feel quite embarrassed...

"I apologize, I apologize." The young woman in charge of reception saw Lv Qingliang and, for some reason, felt her face heat up a bit, speaking somewhat incoherently: "Professor Shi is in the laboratory; he is expected to come out in about three hours. You, you can go to the lounge and rest for a while. I will keep an eye on things and notify you as soon as Professor Shi comes out, is that alright?"

Can it still be like this?

Lü Qingliang's tone was slightly languid, and he casually remarked: "When dealing with people, you must understand what their core demands are. Once you identify the right direction, success will naturally follow."

... ...

Brother Lü, according to the information, Zhou Cheng comes here to take a walk at this time every day

Chen Yu paused for a moment, reflecting carefully, and realized that he truly had no way to deal with this retired old man.

Chen Yu observed quietly, watching Lu Qingliang

Brother Lü, do we really have to make a personal trip to the library? Can't we just send him a summons document and have him assist us? This is a task assigned by the organization; he can't refuse, can he? Besides, we are not offering him nothing in return

After waiting for a while, Chen Yu still did not hear any roars or shouts, which left him somewhat puzzled. After waiting a bit longer, he heard the voice of Lü Qingliang: "Uncle, please hold on, a special vehicle will come to pick you up shortly."

The appearance of that young man was quite extraordinary. He was tall, at least 1.85 meters, with a perfectly proportioned physique. His skin was smooth like that of a woman, yet it did not appear at all effeminate; rather, it exuded a vibrant, sunny aura. His features were no less impressive than those of a star.

Thank you.

At the suggestion of Lv Qingliang, the troubled Chen Yu had no choice but to take some documents and go upstairs alone to visit Zhou Cheng

Alright. Xiao Lu, I have thought it over. The matter concerning the Planetary Security Bureau must be related to the safety of our entire civilization. In such matters, everyone has the obligation to contribute. Therefore, I will set aside my current tasks and try to allocate some time for this.

Then it is settled

A young woman jogging in the morning happened to pass by the old man and greeted him with a bright smile, saying, "Good morning, Uncle Zhou."

This person clearly seems difficult to deal with... undoubtedly one of those eccentric, stubborn, and irritable old men

Until he walked out of the community, Chen Yu remained in a state of shock, unable to regain his composure

Goodbye, take care, young man

Chen Yu stayed there

It seemed to be a mumble, yet the words were clearly conveyed: "When speaking to elders, you must stand properly! It is impolite."

Thank you very much

After hanging up the phone, Lv Qingliang looked at Shi Guofu and asked, "Professor Shi, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly regarding the books."

Among these two individuals, one has a rather ordinary appearance. Although he exudes an air of competence, there is no doubt that he is subordinate to the other young man.

Nanyuan City, a park adjacent to a residential community, where residents either take a stroll, engage in conversation, or play with their children, creating a scene of tranquility

The woman seemed to be accustomed to it, merely smiled, and continued running away

Two men walked over from the other side of the street

I apologize, I need to take a call. Hello? An additional 100,000 for Professor Zhang's task allowance? Leader, isn't that inappropriate? Professor Zhang only assisted us with one matter, and it was just for three days in total. Isn't 500,000 already quite substantial? Do we really need to add more?

Lv Qingliang smiled again: "It's very simple. As a world-class top expert in multiple disciplines such as forensic medicine, pathology, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems, after retirement, his most pressing demand is to maintain the feeling of 'I am the best' and 'I am a world-class expert.' Once the direction is clear, it becomes quite simple. I told him that there is currently a very challenging task, and after careful consideration, the organization unanimously believes that only by having Uncle Zhou take charge can it be resolved, and didn't he just jump at the opportunity?"

As Chen Yu stepped out of the Seventh Research Institute building, he snorted, "This Shi Guofu is clearly fixated on that little allowance. His core demand is money, isn't it?"

Shi Guofu hesitated somewhat

I am afraid that our leadership will not agree

Shi Guofu's expression became serious

I apologize for the inconvenience

Young man, rest assured, if the organization needs my assistance, I will certainly not hesitate. I will leave as soon as the vehicle arrives

The old man walked slowly along the park path with his hands behind his back, his gaze filled with scrutiny, as if anything he laid eyes upon would be subject to his criticism.

You can rest assured, leave it to me
