Lin Zichen could think that the old man had definitely made an appointment with him at this time and had a purpose. Moreover, this time he was not in the office or the cabin, but went directly to the Seven Sacred Mountains, which further showed the old man's caution.
So he only said two simple words "understand" on the phone, and didn't even disclose any information to Jiang Yu.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu said: "What's wrong, Zichen?"
"No, I'm going out. You should go back to the dormitory and rest early." With that, Lin Zichen stood up and said.
Jiang Yu naturally also understood that there were many things that Lin Zichen couldn't say. At least the dragon scales were a secret. Since it was a secret, he couldn't reveal it to anyone, not even the closest people.
Just like back in Linjiang, Lin Zichen had to hide it from even his sister Lin Mengran. There was no way. This was discipline, and it was also for the smooth progress of the mission. Once it was revealed, it would be too late to regret anything that happened.
Jiang Yu simply didn't ask. She directly picked up her coat and put it on Lin Zichen's shoulders, saying, "It seems that I won't be able to come back tonight. Be careful. I'll go back to rest later. Don't worry about me."
Lin Zichen smiled knowingly, grabbed Jiang Yu's hand and said, "Xiaoyu, you are so sensible."
Jiang Yu's face turned bright red: "How silly, it's not the first day you've known about someone else's kindness."
"Haha, yes, it's been good." As he said that, Lin Zichen lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yu on the lips.
Feeling the sweetness, Jiang Yu's face turned red, and she pushed Lin Zichen out of the door with an embarrassed look: "Go away, you hate me!"
After closing the door, Jiang Yu leaned against the door, pouted and smiled playfully: "It's really annoying, I won't give it to you after one bite..."
When leaving the Executive Yuan, Lin Zichen was still very careful, deliberately avoiding all places where the cameras could shine, and walked out almost in the shadows.
Moreover, he did not choose to walk into the Seven Sacred Mountains from the mountain pass, but flew directly in from an uninhabited place and crossed the mountain.
The old man did not tell Lin Zichen the location of the Seven Sacred Mountains on the phone, which suddenly made Lin Zichen feel a little strange. However, he would not admit his mistake in the old man's voice, nor would he suspect that someone was deliberately plotting against him.
Soon, he felt a trace of the old man's breath on the mountain road. Others may not be particularly familiar with this kind of breath, but Lin Zichen was very familiar with it. He was refining the five-pole rune formation wood and the fire two-attribute rune stone.
At that time, if the old gentleman hadn't used his true energy to help him, he would have fallen short.
Therefore, Lin Zichen will never forget this breath that once entered his body.
Lin Zichen followed this breath and kept moving forward. He found that the breath was not interrupted on the mountain road, including when passing through the dense forest. He smiled: "It seems that the old gentleman deliberately left this breath for me to look for."
.”
After all, there are times when communicating with words is unavoidable, so Nangong Jue chose this method to let Lin Zichen find the meeting place based on his own aura, which was enough to show that Nangong Jue had something important to say to him.
Entering the Seven Sacred Peaks deep in the Seven Sacred Mountains, Lin Zichen seemed to understand something. This was one of the main peaks of the Seven Sacred Peaks, where the Flame Cave existed, where Lin Zichen once swallowed the soul of the Fire Lion.
, and now he has mastered the fire lion’s animal fire.
Sure enough, Lin Zichen followed the aura all the way into the Flame Cave. He didn't understand why the old gentleman invited him here, but he still walked in.
The aura of the flame cave is no longer as good as before. Lin Zichen once refined the fire attribute aura and killed the fire lion, so the intensity of the flames in the flame cave has been greatly weakened, and the temperature is not as hot as before.
Before reaching the main cave of Flame Cave, Lin Zichen saw Nangong Jue sitting on the rock of the cave. At this time, Nangong Jue was wearing a white training uniform, looking a bit pioneering and proud, without the feeling of an old leader.
More like an outsider.
"Old sir." Lin Zichen said respectfully.
"Zi Chen, what are your plans after the suspension?"
Lin Zichen was a little surprised by Nangong Jue's question. What are his plans after suspension? Even if he is not suspended, he, the deputy dean, will not have much work.
"Old sir, Zichen just wants to focus on taking care of Dragon Scales." Lin Zichen said.
"Oh? Haha, Long Lin has been really busy these days. I received a secret message from the top management and I have a task for you."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen became excited and said, "Really? That's great. Dragon Scale's team members are now practicing in seclusion, so they are ready to be hit at any time."
Nangong Jue nodded: "Chinese officials once captured a European spy Nolan. The exact amount of information in their hands is ominous, but an accident occurred on the way back to the police station. Someone tampered with the police car, causing the control to malfunction.
The police car rolled over the cliff, but Nolan's body was not found during processing."
"In other words... this Nolan is still alive?" Lin Zichen asked.
"At first the officials were not sure, but then our staff who were on official duties had seen Nolan in Australia. As soon as they contacted the Chinese officials, Nolan had disappeared from his sight."
Lin Zichen nodded slowly: "What the old gentleman is saying is that we should start investigating from Australia?"
Hearing this, Nangong Jue smiled: "It's Long Lin, not you?"
"Huh?" Lin Zichen obviously didn't understand what Nangong Jue meant, "Old sir, what do you mean by this?"
"You have been suspended."
Lin Zichen felt shocked in his heart. Suspended? He did not expect that during the day, the old man meant to suspend his position as Captain of Dragon Scale?
"What? I have to be suspended from my position at Dragon Scale?" At this time, Nangong Jue's expression was serious, and there was almost no unnecessary expression on his old face.
"That's right, have you forgotten what I said during the day? Stop all the work you are doing, that's all."
Lin Zichen was silent for a moment, looking at Nangong Jue, he suddenly realized that he couldn't figure out this old man. He had spent so much effort to establish the dragon scale, but now he was suspended?
"Haha, old sir, is it because I fought against Situ Zhentian?" Lin Zichen asked somewhat unhappily.
Nangong Jue turned to look at him and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, your action surprised me, but I just took advantage of this opportunity."
"Old sir, what do you mean...you were planning to suspend me from my job? Situ Zhentian and I just gave you a good reason to take action?" Lin Zichen seemed to understand something and asked.
Nangong Jue smiled: "Yes, it's Lin Zichen as expected. I didn't misjudge the person. Haha, Zichen, I have to suspend you and Zhentian at the same time to see a lot of things."
Lin Zichen nodded: "What the old gentleman is referring to is Langya's mission."
"Yes, Langya is the first special force announced to the public under my command. Now that there is a problem with Langya, I can't wait for the higher-ups to investigate step by step. In that case, the Supernatural Academy will be passive this time, so we must do it ourselves.
Let’s find out first what the problem is!” Nangong Jue said.
"You mean to start the investigation from Situ Zhentian?" Lin Zichen asked.
"I can't think of any other areas where I should start investigating."
Listening to Nangong Jue's affirmative tone, Lin Zichen suddenly realized that it seemed that the old man had lost trust in Situ Zhentian from the moment of Lang Ya's accident, and from then until today's suspension, the old man was just practicing.
.
Ginger is still spicy.
"So... Zichen, you must let Long Lin complete Nolan's mission, but you can't follow because starting today, you will no longer perform your duties as the vice president of the Supernatural Academy and the captain of Long Lin. Your mission is to find out who the wolf is.
The reason why I lost my tooth!"
"Haha, the old gentleman is a bit pushy, isn't he? If Situ Zhentian really took the money and gave up the pursuit, then he may not be contacting those people after that. Even if I check, I have no clue."
Hearing this, Nangong Jue smiled: "Don't worry about this, I will fully cooperate with you. Zhentian has also been suspended. I specifically said that you all can leave the academy, so I don't rule out that he will leave in the near future. I think as long as there is a problem,
There is no way it will remain hidden forever!"
Lin Zichen nodded: "Zichen can only say that he tried his best, but... old gentleman, there is one thing I should tell you."
"Oh? What's the point of you little monkey?"
Lin Zichen smiled: "Today's fight, Zichen deliberately left my Qi in Situ Zhentian's body during the chaos. As expected...I'm afraid I will feel it wherever he goes."
As he said that, Lin Zichen showed a hint of confidence. In fact, his idea at the time was to leave a backup plan. After all, there was a problem with Langya, so he could learn more about Situ Zhentian, but he didn't expect that the old man would give him the task so quickly.
Already.
Hearing this, Nangong Jue laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Zichen, Situ Zhentian may have made the biggest mistake in his life by provoking you. If so... I think you can take a long vacation. If Situ Zhentian didn't
If there is any movement, you will always be on vacation."
"Haha, old sir, so...I, Lin Zichen, am temporarily free?" Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Nangong Jue shook his head and said: "You think so well, I finally brought you into the academy, will you be free again? Remember, control the Nolan mission of Dragon Scale. After all, you are the real controller. On the surface,
Put one person in charge, but you must keep your confidants among the team members."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen was stunned. This sentence seemed familiar to him. It seemed to be the consistent method of senior management, leaving his own informants wherever he went, so as to facilitate real management.
Lin Zichen smiled knowingly and nodded: "I've learned a lesson!"
"Also, Zichen, I allow you absolute freedom during this period, but you must ensure that I can contact you at any time."
"Don't worry, old man, Zichen doesn't have time to travel around." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Nangong Jue shook his head and smiled: "I believe that if you are given such a long time to retreat, you will naturally not be wasted. Remember not to ignore Situ Zhentian's movements. If you need assistance in any situation, I can mobilize all my strength
The resources in hand are coordinated for you!”
"With your words, Zichen feels relieved."
Lin Zichen would never doubt Nangong Jue's energy. There is probably no network in China that he cannot coordinate.
