Chapter 397 Something unexpected happened...
"I've told you everything, I'm absolutely confident in leaving it to you!"
Academician Xie responded to him with a smile, but found that the other party's eyes were always looking behind him.
He turned around in some confusion, and was stunned when he saw Li Jun still standing there in a daze.
Then, he stretched out his hand to him and said, "Xiao Li, why are you standing there? These are the comrades who are here to ensure our safety. Come over and say hello."
After saying this, he was afraid of causing displeasure to Li Xiang and others, so he deliberately made things difficult for himself and others in the upcoming mission, and he also explained to Li Xiang:
"Haha, don't mind it. We are all devoted to research and are more or less not good at speaking on weekdays...
Besides, he might have thought of some new ideas, so he was just standing there in a daze.
We are usually like this, sometimes we are talking and then nothing happens..."
Hearing this, Li Xiang's expression became strange, and the same thing happened to the team members behind him.
He looked at Academician Xie with a smile on his face and said seriously: "Don't worry, I don't mind these..."
Academician Xie smiled and was about to say something polite when he heard Li Jun's cold snort from behind him.
"Humph! Brat, do you mind letting me take a look?"
"Xiao Li...!" Academician Xie didn't expect him to say that. He gave him a low growl and quickly winked at him, fearing that he would arouse the disgust of Li Xiang and others before the mission even began.
Li Jun quickly stepped forward, smiled at Academician Xie to indicate that he was fine, and then looked at Li Xiang with a stern face.
"Come, I want to see what opinion you have about me, what opinion do you dare to have?"
After hearing this, Academician Xie grabbed his arm anxiously, trying to stop Li Jun from continuing.
He couldn't understand why this usually gentle person seemed like a different person now.
Did the two of them have any conflicts before?
He also knew the origins of Li Xiang and others. How could he have any intersection with them given their identities?
Academician Xie was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he opened his mouth to try to smooth things over.
But before he could say anything, Li Xiang on the opposite side put on a smirk on his face.
"Dad, how dare I have any objection to you? I was just joking..."
"Dad?" Academician Xie was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Jun and then at Li Xiang.
"You are smart, kid!" Li Jun glared at Li Xiang, then turned to Academician Xie and explained with a smile: "Mr. Xie, this kid is from my family..."
"Yours?" After receiving his confirmation, Academician Xie widened his eyes, feeling very surprised.
After a moment, he came to his senses and couldn't help muttering: "This... this is really a coincidence..."
As Li Jun's superior, he certainly knew Li Jun's family background and also knew that he had a son.
But the information only said that his son joined the army, but did not say where he served.
He originally thought that Li Xiang would devote himself to scientific research like his father, or start from the grassroots level like his grandfather.
Given their family background, doing this would obviously help them climb the ladder much faster than the average person.
But he never expected that this kid would choose such a path where his family could provide almost no help.
Now, as the team leader, he has taken over their security mission.
Knowing Li Xiang's background, he also knew that ordinary soldiers would probably never know their numbers in their entire lives, let alone join them.
This shows how difficult it is to take command of this team.
"Thank you, Mr.... Thank you, Mr...."
“Ah…? What?” Academician Xie woke up from his wild thoughts after hearing Li Jun’s call.
Li Jun didn't care about Mr. Xie's distraction. As mentioned before, they were used to it.
Seeing that Academician Xie had come to his senses, Li Jun repeated what he had not heard clearly before.
"I say, let's not stand here, let's go in and take a rest first, there's still some time before the flight."
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at me, I almost forgot about this." Academician Xie suddenly realized and greeted Li Xiang and others with a smile:
"Come on, boys... Rest here for a while, and when the time is about right, we'll set off for the airport."
"I'll follow your arrangements. I also have something to talk to you about."
Li Xiang said politely, and led everyone to follow Mr. Xie into a reception room.
After sitting down, he did not start by reminiscing with his father whom he had not seen for a long time. Instead, he looked at Academician Xie and asked seriously:
"Mr. Xie, is my father among the three people you sent to attend the exchange meeting this time?"
When he learned about the mission, it only stated that the specific number of the other party was three, but did not tell them their names.
So at this moment, he urgently needed to know whether his father was also among the candidates.
Academician Xie smiled and replied, "That's right. After our final discussion, we decided that I will lead the team. Together with your father and another young researcher, the three of us will form the team for this exchange meeting."
Hearing this, Li Xiang frowned and sighed: "Alas... this is troublesome..."
Academician Xie showed a puzzled look, looked at him and asked, "What's the trouble?"
Li Xiang glanced at his father who was also puzzled, and immediately explained to the two of them:
"There is a rule in our line of work. If a direct relative appears during a mission, one of us must avoid the mission to avoid unnecessary trouble..."
After listening to Li Xiang's explanation, the two of them stood there in a daze.
They had never heard that the other party had such a rule.
Of course, they can't blame them.
Not to mention that the two sides are not on the same system, it is normal that they have not heard of it.
Besides, given how busy they are every day, how would they have time to care about other things?
At this point, Mr. Xie also became anxious.
"What should we do? We have finally decided on the personnel, and Li Jun is the most suitable candidate in the entire hospital. If we want to replace him now, where can we find a suitable candidate?"
This mission is of great importance to them.
If they could get a glimpse of something from other people's advanced drones, it would be a big deal for them.
The candidates were finally decided yesterday after several meetings.
Now they need to replace people, where can they find suitable personnel?
Li Jun nodded in agreement, looked at Li Xiang and said, "No matter who we want to replace now, I'm afraid it's too late..."
"Ah... That's why I said things are difficult..."
Li Xiang sighed again, took out his cell phone and dialed Yuan Lang's office number.
"Let me ask for instructions first, then we can talk..."
After that, he pressed the call button and put the phone to his ear.
"Beep...beep..."
"Hello? What's wrong?"
"Captain, something unexpected happened..."
Li Xiang didn't waste any words and immediately told Yuan Lang the truth about what he had encountered.
