Chapter 308 -307: Seeing Long Zaitian Again (Three More)_1
“Commander, the person has arrived.” The guard knocked on the door to report.
“Come in.”
As the two walked in, Phoenix greeted Long Zaitian with respect, “Good day, Commander.”
“Phoenix, you’ve done well recently.”
Long Zaitian stood up and went over to the tea table to make tea.
“Commander, let me do it,” Phoenix said, rushing over to help.
When Long Zaitian first parachuted in, Phoenix, like many other uninformed Dragon Group members, resented Long Tianya, but as things became clearer, she realized that the person she respected the most, Long Tianya, was actually the biggest villain. Therefore, she felt somewhat guilty toward Long Zaitian and also understood the difficulties he faced; her attitude had changed a lot.
“Phoenix, don’t be polite, let him make it,” Ye Xiong said, walking over to sit on the sofa and looking around, “Commander, you still haven’t moved out of this shabby office? It’s too cramped here – there’s hardly room for a few more guests.”
“The Number Three leader just came by yesterday and gave me an earful, so I have no choice but to move tomorrow. Someone is already arranging the new office,” Long Zaitian replied.
Hearing the name of the number three leader, Ye Xiong and Phoenix were inwardly startled.

They knew he was referring to the third highest-ranking leader of Huaxia Country and the highest authority on national defense, as well as Long Zaitian’s direct superior.
Phoenix heard that Long Zaitian was appointed to oversee the Dragon Group by the order of the Number Three leader, which showed the trust Number Three had in Long Zaitian.
“This is the tea that the Number Three leader brought over yesterday. Try it and see if this guy just randomly picked up a couple of bags to fool me,” Long Zaitian said, pouring two cups of tea.
Phoenix was on needles and pins, extremely constrained.
Long Zaitian was her direct superior, and now he was making tea and serving it so courteously, making her feel very uneasy.
She glanced at Ye Xiong beside her, and her face darkened instantly.
There he was, lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, acting as if he couldn’t care less about the cup of tea the commander had poured for him.
Did he even regard the person in front of him as a leader?
Was there no more decorum, no more discipline?
What left her speechless was that Long Zaitian, who was usually very strict with subordinates and nicknamed ‘Aloof Judge Bao’, didn’t seem to care at all about Ye Xiong’s behavior, as if they were very familiar with each other.
“How is it?” Long Zaitian saw Ye Xiong take a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
Ye Xiong downed the tea in one gulp, then said, “For me, there’s no difference between tea that costs ten yuan a packet and tea that costs a hundred thousand a packet. I can’t taste the difference.”
“Had I known earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted this good tea on you,” Long Zaitian said, chuckling.
He laughed heartily and then added, “To tell you the truth, I actually can’t tell the difference either.”
Both of them laughed.
“Why aren’t you drinking?” Long Zaitian saw Phoenix was still hesitating.
“Oh, I’ll drink it now.”
Phoenix quickly grabbed the tea to drink.
Watching her tense behavior, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh, “Phoenix, we’re not at a matchmaking meeting or meeting parents here; why are you so nervous? You make it seem like the commander is always fierce.”
Phoenix glared at him fiercely.
Commander is not just fierce – he’s terrifying when he rages during meetings.
Moreover, you’re no longer a Dragon Group member, and Long Zaitian is not your superior, so of course you feel no pressure.
Phoenix grumbled inwardly.
“Phoenix, you go out first; I have some things to discuss with Ye Xiong,” Long Zaitian said.
Phoenix, as if granted amnesty, quickly stood up and left the office.
“You little rascal, the authority I had finally established, you’ve destroyed it all,” Long Zaitian scolded.
After a brief chat, Ye Xiong turned to the main topic.
“What do you plan to do about Long Lan?”
“I’ve already ordered an overnight interrogation, but we couldn’t get much out of her, this woman is tight-lipped. I’ve had her thrown into Heavenly Prison for now, to be held for some time,” Long Zaitian explained.
“What about Long Tianya? He’s sure to pressure you.”
“Right now, I’m in charge of the Dragon Group, he can’t tell me what to do,” Long Zaitian huffed.
Next, Ye Xiong recounted the situation he had interrogated from Li Chunpeng the night before and afterward asked, “Chief, that scientist from back then, who exactly was he, and why so secretive?”
“Don’t mention you, even I don’t know; it’s highly confidential, the higher-ups have always kept it under wraps and don’t allow investigations.”
Ye Xiong was profoundly shocked.
Long Zaitian was the chief of the Dragon Group, a very high position, yet even he was unaware of the scientist’s identity, who could possess such secretive status?
“You should stay out of this matter. The most important thing now is to nip Ghost’s influence in the bud and destroy all Beast Organization bases in Huaxia Country. That is our most crucial task at the moment,” Long Zaitian said.
“Regarding what Luo Chunpeng mentioned, about Ghost’s seven disciples and Mr. Ghost and Mr. M, has the Dragon Group found any information on these people?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Among the seven disciples, we of the Dragon Group captured one, but couldn’t interrogate much, only know that the disciples of Ghost don’t seem to know each other’s real identities. Ghost has been very meticulous about this,” Long Zaitian disclosed.
After more casual talk, Long Zaitian asked Ye Xiong for the Cold Ink Dagger to help remove the tracker inside.
Long Zaitian made a phone call, and within moments, someone took the Cold Ink Dagger away to dismantle the tracker.
Half an hour later, the guard returned, handed back the dagger, and included a mung bean-sized tracking device.
“Chief, thank you. I’d like to see Long Tianya, see how he’s recovering,” Ye Xiong requested.
“He can already walk around, but his martial arts won’t be recoverable in the short term,” Long Zaitian replied.
“Such a long time, and only this much recovery?”
“It wasn’t supposed to be just this much, but the military medical department doesn’t call the shots. Someone’s already notified Gu Cangshan, we can’t let him recover that quickly.” As he said this, Long Zaitian lowered his voice and whispered, “I’ve reported to the higher-ups. Now we have some evidence indicating a connection between Long Zaitian and the Beast Organization. The higher-ups issued a secret order to Gu Cangshan to delay his recovery. Moreover, they’ve already begun to place Long Tianya under surveillance and house arrest.”
“Really?” Ye Xiong asked excitedly.
“If there’s no progress, the Dragon Group is too useless; the Intelligence Division might as well go catch dogs and cats. Murong Nian and I might as well go back to farming,” Long Zaitian commented sarcastically.
Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. If the Intelligence Division and the Dragon Group were investigating Long Tianya together, the Beast Organization would soon face great pressure, and he would feel much more at ease.
The two drove to the military medical department.
Just like last time, Long Zaitian did not go up, waiting for Ye Xiong downstairs at the inpatient department building.
Ye Xiong went upstairs. At the door of Long Tianya’s hospital room, he was stopped by two guards.
“Stop, no entry for unrelated persons,” one guard barked.
“Tell Long Tianya, Ye Xiong has come to see him.”
