106 Deeply Hidden, The Expert Is Actually By My Side?

“Commander Chen?”

Seeing the name displayed on the communicator, Wang Xiao could not help but smile. He was planning to look for Chen Jinrong, but he did not expect the other party to look for him first!

“Hello?”

Wang Xiao pressed the answer button and placed it to his ear. “Commander Chen, what instructions do you have for me so late at night?”

“Come to the military building immediately.”

Chen Jinrong’s voice was a little low. “I’ll give you ten minutes. I won’t wait for you if you’re late.”

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jinrong hung up. Wang Xiao was immediately a little unhappy, but when he thought that the other party might want to give him the method to make a mechanical beast, he instantly became excited.

After putting away the communicator, Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo and said, “Commander Chen asked me to look for him. He should be giving me the production method of the mechanical beast.”

Zhou Xiruo’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Can I go with you?”

Wang Xiao was about to refuse, but on second thought, Chen Jinrong did not seem to have asked him to go over himself, so he immediately changed his words and agreed.

Then, the two of them immediately set off. The military building was built in the center of Kaiyang City, not far from the West District. Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the military building.

The guard here was still the same guard from last time. Just as he was about to ask why he was here, he recognized Wang Xiao. “Are you here to look for Commander Chen again?”

Wang Xiao also recognized the other party. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Do you need to report?”

“There’s no need. Commander Chen has instructed you to go in directly when you arrive.”

As the guard spoke, his gaze landed on Zhou Xiruo again. “This is?”

“She’s my vassal lord. She’s with me.”

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he realized that the guard seemed to be in a difficult position. He thought for a moment and looked at Zhou Xiruo. “It might not be convenient for you to enter. Why don’t you wait for me outside?”

Before Zhou Xiruo could speak, the guard stepped aside and opened the door. “It’s not inconvenient. You can go in together.”

“As expected, it’s easier to do things when you know someone!”

Wang Xiao thought to himself and thanked the guard before bringing Zhou Xiruo into the building.

It was almost late at night. There was no one in the building except for a young officer standing in the hall on the first floor.

Seeing Wang Xiao enter, the young officer immediately welcomed him. “Wang Xiao?”

Wang Xiao nodded. The person gestured at the elevator again. “Adjutant Qi has gone to the hospital. Commander Chen asked me to lead the way for you.”

After thanking him, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo followed the young officer to the top floor in the elevator.

After walking around for a moment, the young officer stopped in front of a door and gently knocked a few times before shouting, “Sir! Wang Xiao is here!”

“Let him in!”

Chen Jinrong shouted from inside before the young officer opened the door.

“Commander…”

As soon as the two of them entered, before Wang Xiao could finish greeting the other party, he saw something flying over from the corner of his eye. He hurriedly raised his hand to catch it. It was a notebook.

Immediately after, Chen Jinrong’s voice sounded. “This is the production method of mechanical beasts. If you have anything you don’t understand, ask me again.”

Wang Xiao turned around and saw Chen Jinrong writing at the table. He did not even look up when he entered. It was obvious that he was busy with something important.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao did not disturb him anymore. He said, “Thank you, Commander Chen,” and was about to leave when Chen Jinrong suddenly shouted, “Wait a moment! I just remembered that I have something to tell you.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao stopped again. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Jinrong still had no intention of paying attention to him.

Just as he was feeling bored, Wang Xiao felt someone tugging at his clothes from behind. He turned around and saw Zhou Xiruo with a strange expression.

“Is that person the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military Region?”

Zhou Xiruo pointed at Chen Jinrong and asked in a low voice, “Why do I feel that he looks a little familiar?”

“He went to the hospital to look for me before, the day I woke up.”

Wang Xiao casually replied. Then, he realized that something was wrong with Zhou Xiruo’s expression.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Wang Xiao asked in confusion, “Weren’t you also present at that time? Don’t you remember?”

Zhou Xiruo opened her mouth, as if she did not know what to say. After a few seconds, she asked in disbelief in a low voice, “Your class’s instructor, Chen Xue, is actually the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military District?!”

“What did you say?!”

When Wang Xiao heard this news, he was also shocked. “Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure!”

Zhou Xiruo had a confident expression. “That day, you were talking to Commander Chen in the ward. Teacher Chen and I were waiting outside later. I heard Teacher Chen call him father with my own ears!”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao suddenly recalled that when they were in the ward, Chen Xue’s attitude towards Chen Jinrong was especially respectful. At that time, he thought that Chen Xue knew Chen Jinrong’s identity. He did not expect the two of them to be father and daughter.

Just as Wang Xiao was in shock, Chen Jinrong suddenly smiled bitterly. “Little Xue, this girl, it seems that she still needs to work on her confidentiality!”

Wang Xiao was stunned and suddenly looked at Chen Jinrong. “In that case… are you really Teacher Chen’s father?”

Chen Jinrong nodded without commenting.

Wang Xiao’s expression immediately became strange. “But that’s not right! If Teacher Chen is really your daughter, with your status, she’s more than enough to be a teacher in Class A. Why would she be the class director for our Class D?”

“This is because although Class A’s results are better, there will also be more responsibilities. If her energy is diverted by those things, how will she have the time to find good seedlings with potential?”

As Chen Jinrong spoke, he put down his fountain pen and looked at Wang Xiao with a smile. “I called you over today mainly to talk about this—you might not know, but I’ve known you much earlier than you think.”

Wang Xiao pursed his lips. “You mean that Teacher Chen is helping you pick out seedlings in the Kaiyang Academy?”

“You can think of it that way.”

...

Chen Jinrong nodded and took out an information bag and placed it on the table. Wang Xiao immediately saw his name written on it.

“Long before you awakened your talent, Little Xue recommended you to me. She said that your various results have always been first in the entire school. She even said that you might have the highest potential among this batch of students.”

Chen Jinrong moved his fingers and explained, “Later on, you awakened the [Beast Tamer Lord]. We originally thought that this good seedling would become useless. We didn’t expect you to actually give us a surprise.”

Wang Xiao was at a loss when he heard this. It was mainly because this matter was too sudden.

Teacher Chen, who was closest to him, actually had such an identity. Although her motive was good, the deception was also true. For a moment, he did not know if he should be angry or excited.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Xiao finally calmed down. “But why are you telling me this? Don’t tell me you want me to enlist now?”

“Of course not. With your current strength, you can’t even pass the recruit assessment.”

Chen Jinrong sneered and looked at Wang Xiao meaningfully. “You should be able to understand Xiao Xue’s work content, right?”

Wang Xiao did not understand, but he still nodded.

“Very well.”

Chen Jinrong stretched out his finger and gently knocked on Wang Xiao’s information bag. “From tomorrow onwards, you will be a student of Yuheng Academy.”
