Quantum!

Reconnaissance Division Headquarters, Silver Hook Star.

In an office, Ye Lei faced the handsome youth on the light screen and offered an apologetic smile.

"Secretary Kong, I am truly sorry. My Second Division is buried in official business, so I am afraid we won't have time to see Director Li off."

"Seeing him off?"

Kong Yang opened his folding fan and shook his head with a chuckle.

"Director Ye, your intelligence network is truly well-informed!"

Ye Lei smiled in kind, speaking with modest humility.

"As the reconnaissance office, naturally we are expected to keep eyes on all six directions and ears on all eight."

"Oh?"

Kong Yang raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a profound subtext.

"Then Director Ye should wash her eyes and ears out."

Ye Lei's expression froze, her smile turning strained.

"I wonder what Secretary Kong means by that?"

"It's very simple. The director cannot rest easy regarding the safety of Horn Sector, and has already declined the invitation from the Star Martial Hall!"

Kong Yang closed his folding fan, his expression turning solemn.

"My purpose in coming here today is simply to bring a message."

"The director is still waiting for you to report the 'clue', and hopes Director Ye hasn't forgotten."

Ye Lei's expression shifted repeatedly, but upon hearing the end, she was left utterly bewildered.

"What clue?"

Anyone with discerning eyes knew the reason she had previously used to delay reporting for duty was merely a hastily fabricated excuse, and Li Qingshan could not possibly fail to see through it.

Yet at this moment, not only had he not moved against her, but he had actually sent Kong Yang to ask about a "clue"?

"Director Ye, take your time to think it over!"

Kong Yang gave a faint smile and directly cut the call.
