Chapter 92: Chapter 89 Layout"Are you convinced now?" Zhang Lu looked at Company Commander Gao with amusement.

    "Convinced, totally convinced." Company Commander Gao nodded.

    "I think you’re just asking for a lesson. When I went to the troops to get someone, you even wanted to intimidate me, threatening that if I didn’t defeat you, I couldn’t order you around. Only after you got a good beating did you settle down. Now you’ve been taught a lesson again, do you understand now that there’s always someone stronger out there?" Zhang Lu teased.

    "I understand, it’s my short-sightedness, making both of you laugh at me." Company Commander Gao blushed, showing no dissatisfaction at all. His gaze towards Zhang Lu and Ye Fan was full of admiration. He respected them deeply for their overwhelming strength.

    "What do we do next? I’m listening to you." Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan.

    "Me too." Company Commander Gao quickly chimed in.

    "Then I’ll take the liberty to arrange the security work for you." Ye Fan didn’t decline. To eliminate the enemy as much as possible and minimize the loss on Zhang Lu’s side, he decided to contribute his strength.

    "Arrange as you see fit." Zhang Lu said nonchalantly.

    Ye Fan’s analysis and judgment, especially his strength, completely won over Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao. Zhang Lu was more than willing to follow Ye Fan’s arrangements. This trust was significant, considering that Ye Fan wasn’t even part of their organization.

    "Is the food and drink inside the research institute safe?" Ye Fan asked. It would be very dangerous if any tampering happened there.

    "Absolutely safe. I moved it over from the troops, guarded 24/7. Without orders from me or Zhang Lu, no one can get close." Company Commander Gao replied confidently.

    "That’s good." Ye Fan had ruled out the possibility of anyone poisoning the food and drink, confirming that Li Ru was the mole. Since Company Commander Gao’s soldiers had no issues, there was no need to worry about the food and drink. Li Ru was also under close surveillance, so she wouldn’t risk tampering with the food and drink as it would likely expose her prematurely, which was not worth the risk.

    "According to your analysis, if the power system is invaded, it will be very dangerous. Our staff in the troops are experts, but if they encounter formidable enemies like Blood Rose, wouldn’t their effectiveness be limited?" Zhang Lu was most concerned about this issue.

    "That’s natural. I can confirm that the power system is a crucial step in the enemy’s operation." Ye Fan said slowly, "But there’s no need to worry. Leave this part to me. With me monitoring at the computer, it’s absolutely impossible for anyone to infiltrate."

    "You’re an expert?" Company Commander Gao was startled. With such excellent martial skills and a sharp mind, and also proficient in advanced technology, talents like him were exceedingly rare. His admiration for Ye Fan grew, far beyond just his impressive abilities.

    "Don’t make a fuss or pry." Zhang Lu warned, though she herself was also very much surprised by Ye Fan’s confidence in this field.

    She eagerly asked, "In your view, what adjustments are most needed in our current security measures?"

    "The troop deployment is no longer a secret. We must make them find suitable attack points again. All of this must be done covertly. Li Ru must not detect anything unusual, or it will all be for nothing. Additionally, once the perimeter troops have chosen new attack points, have them quietly relocate after nightfall. During that time, we’re with Li Ru. Most importantly, assign each troop in the surrounding area a designated firepower grid. I believe the enemy will act once the power system is successfully infiltrated. When I regain control of the power system, that’s when all the forces open fire simultaneously. Remember, don’t let them fire randomly. Each person has a specific firepower grid. Even if it means firing blanks, make sure every bullet is utilized. Generally, strong adversaries are very fast. If you aim directly at them, you won’t hit them. Only a dense firepower grid can kill."

    Ye Fan made such adjustments. These arrangements could stop swift-moving enemies.

    Zhang Lu and Company Commander Gao had no objections and were full of admiration.

    The three of them began to set up and re-control the firepower grid, which required some time.

    Two hours later, Ye Fan said to Company Commander Gao, "You go assign each soldier their respective hiding spots, then instruct them on the attack areas. Remember, warn them not to shoot randomly towards people. After we signal, let them fill their designated area with bullets."

    "I know what to do. I’ll personally ensure every soldier hears this order." Company Commander Gao went to carry it out.

    Zhang Lu looked at Ye Fan bitterly and sighed, "I pride myself on being a master in this field, but after witnessing your arrangement, I realize I’m just a rookie. If I were your enemy, facing your deployment in warfare, I’d die a miserable death. Especially your almost eerie judgment, like you can get under the enemy’s skin, understanding their every move so clearly. If I said you were just guessing, but your analysis is logical and well-founded, it’s terrifying."

    "Don’t envy me, gains and losses are proportional. If I could choose, I’d rather be an ordinary person." Ye Fan cast Zhang Lu a forlorn glance.

    Zhang Lu’s heart trembled. Ye Fan’s eyes were filled with such loneliness that it made her feel both nervous and sad.

    "In a blink, we’ve been busy for over three hours. Let’s take a break, let our minds rest. According to your prediction, the enemy will launch their attack at night. By then, we’ll be busy again. Now we should conserve our energy and wait for the enemy to walk into their doom." Zhang Lu changed the subject. She didn’t want to see that chilling look in Ye Fan’s eyes, and she walked out of the room with Ye Fan.

    "Brother Ye Fan, are you done? Come have tea." Zhao Shiyan saw Ye Fan appear and hurried to pull him to sit down, but Ye Fan sidestepped, letting her grab empty air, and found a place to sit on his own.

    Professor Zhao watched this scene, his expression tightened, "My daughter is so proud that she doesn’t care about her face to please him, yet he seems unmoved."

    Li Ru, adhering to her role as an assistant, stood expressionless behind Professor Zhao, though she kept thinking to herself, "Who is he anyway? Not interested in women, fine, but able to stand on equal footing with Zhang Lu, even respected by her, this is strange. This suggests his rank is at least higher than Zhang Lu’s, and more importantly, his strength is formidable."

    Zhao Shiyan’s outreached hand awkwardly retracted, her heart sinking, but her smile not only didn’t falter; it grew even wider. "Brother Ye Fan, thirsty? This is authentic Big Red Robe tea, nearly impossible to buy, a gift to my father from a high official. Try it."

    Zhao Shiyan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Fan with both hands.

    Ye Fan took it.

    Zhao Shiyan was instantly overjoyed, "He’s drinking the tea I poured; at least he doesn’t dislike me. That means he’s starting to like me."
