Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1012 The Military's Decision

He Songling was wondering whether he would be chopped into mincemeat and fed to the dogs or torn into breadcrumbs and fed to the pigeons, when he heard Ren Fei continue to speak.

"Chairman Ling, my grandfather sends his regards."

"Who is your grandfather?" He Songling looked at Ren Fei in front of him. He knew many old people, but none of them seemed to have the surname Ren. It couldn't be that he heard that Ru Hu's grandfather had a relationship with him, so he took Ru Hu to become an immortal and came to impersonate the grandson of his old friend, right?
“Well, my grandfather’s name is Shangdanxiazhong. He gave himself this name after literacy campaigns, which means he would shoulder the great responsibility of revitalizing the nation. Before that, he was called Sandan…” Ren Fei’s expression was a little unnatural.

"Ren Sandan?" He Songling's gaze became even more bewildered. Although he had a photographic memory, it was not something he could do on his own initiative, like calculating Ren Fei's entire background just by looking at her.

Imagine how frustrating it would be to have this skill enabled as a passive ability! Even while playing a game, constantly seeing so much information would be overwhelming.

With normal human memory, it would be difficult for He Songling to recall what Ren Sandan did. Such rustic names were common in the past, since most people were poor and rural people often gave their children humble names in hopes of making them easier to raise.

There are countless people with the same name, such as Gou Dan, Tie Dan, Er Gou, Gou Zi, and Di Lei. Even if the surname is slightly unusual and doesn't seem like that of a rural family, it's hard to remember it instantly.

"He seems somewhat familiar. How does he know me?"

“My grandfather was a guard in the guard platoon of the 386th Independent Regiment back then.” Ren Fei said, recounting her grandfather’s connection with He Songling: “He joined the army when we were fighting in Ping’an County. He met you at Commander Li’s door.”

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, He Songling did indeed recall it.

Back then, he thought this kid was clueless and didn't know anything. He was only fourteen when he enlisted, still a young boy. Later, after some calculations, he realized that according to the original plot, after Wei the Monk died, Li Yunlong was demoted, and this was the kid who was calling out "Battalion Commander Li Yunlong" at the gate.

In this historical account, Wei Heshang did not die, and Li Yunlong was not demoted, but Ren Sandan's impulsive nature still caused many laughable situations. Later, the fate of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Wei Dayong, and their gang was like a slippery slope that should not be touched, but unexpectedly, Ren Sandan escaped unscathed.

No, not only did she escape unscathed, she even made quite a bit of progress. In the setting of "Under One Person," Ren Fei's family has connections to powerful figures in the military. Looking at it this way, these powerful figures are no ordinary people.

Later in the story, Ren Fei directly provoked Lü Ci, causing Lü Ci to attack her. However, Lü Ci was stopped by a bodyguard wearing a uniform from the Na Du Tong company, who was clearly a bodyguard sent by her family. The bodyguard later told Ren Fei, "If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your grandmother?"

Judging from this, Ren Sandan's wife is also a "powerful noblewoman". Perhaps Ren Fei's role is as important as Zhao Mengsheng's daughter.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I received his greeting. Now, get to the point."

He Songling breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Ren Fei's grandfather, Ren Sandan—now he should be called Ren Danzhong—who sent her to find him, it naturally wasn't because Ren Fei intended to have any private affair with him. He no longer needed to worry about Ren Fei and him being beaten into pigeon feed to feed the birds.

"That's right. My grandfather thinks your idea is very valuable and strategically significant, and worth promoting. We should start by establishing it from the perspective of extraterrestrials, and then move towards the scientific realm of ordinary people, and even equip it with the military." Ren Fei solemnly took out a hard drive from her pocket, plugged it into the computer, and said, "The comrades in the aerospace department are also looking forward to progress in this area. After all, now that we've confirmed the existence of extraterrestrials, we can't just let them come to our Earth; we Earthlings also need to go out and see for ourselves."

"Hmm, that makes sense. If Kou can go, so can I!" He Songling nodded slightly as he looked at the data on the hard drive and Ren Danzhong's message. Then, his innate Qi directly locked onto the cause and effect, and his voice was sent into Ren Danzhong's ears via electromagnetic waves.

"Old Ren, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'll do my best to handle whatever I can. We've been through this together, so I'm not sloppy in this regard. Also, I'll help you take care of your granddaughter. That girl is almost thirty-five and still hasn't found a boyfriend. You're not going to ask me to set her up on blind dates, are you?"

Meanwhile, in a high-ranking official's compound in Beijing, guards exchanged bewildered glances as the old official suddenly burst into hearty laughter from inside the room.

"Hahaha, good for you, Lao He, your nose is still as sharp as ever. Then I'll leave my granddaughter's marriage to you. If all else fails, you can marry her yourself, and I'll be your father-in-law!"

"Go to hell!"

He Songling hung up the call without hesitation. These people, who came from the war years, still retained some of the fierce spirit of the battlefield. They dared to say anything. If this continued, it would escalate to the point where this old man tied his granddaughter to his bed.

The problem is, Lu Huizhong is still alive.

If they find out... tsk.

He Songling didn't even dare to imagine how badly he would break; he probably would have been flushed down the toilet without even clogging it.

"Yes, I've discussed this with your grandfather. You came to see me yourself, specifically choosing a time when my wife isn't here, to keep it a secret, right?" He Songling said, looking at Ren Fei.

“Yes, but my grandfather said that everything is up to you, and the level of confidentiality is up to you.” Ren Fei nodded in response.

"The relevant researchers definitely need to know that this is not about researching atomic bombs, but simply a combination of Qi cultivation and advanced weaponry. In fact, it cannot unleash any power that surpasses current weapons, so there is no need to keep it as secret as there was back then."

He Songling thought for a moment, then reached out and drew a diagram in mid-air:
"However, the explosive growth in technology that may follow is something that needs to be kept strictly confidential. But that has nothing to do with us Extraordinary People anymore, as it's already outside the jurisdiction of All-Knowing Network. Let the higher-ups have a headache then."

Even so, a certain level of confidentiality is still necessary, though there are no restrictions on personnel movement. Currently, all we can provide are the participants: myself, my wife, researchers from Trinity University, and NaDuTong as unofficial support staff—that's about it.

"I won't worry about the rest. You're more professional in this area than I am. You should come up with a plan for confidentiality agreements and measures, and then come with me to Trinity University."
