Chapter 2484 Reported
Xu Jinchen and his comrades ran into a minor problem the next day, because they were reported for turning to an outsider for help when they carried out the task.
The outsider was Jing Yunyao.
The person who reported it only knew that a woman joined Xu Jinchen’s team in doing the task, but he didn’t know who the woman was. Except for Xu Jinchen and his comrades, nobody knew Jing Yunyao.
The person thought that it was a confidential task, so outsiders shouldn’t be involved.
Even if they needed an outsider’s help, they should report it to their leader first. If they didn’t have time to do that, they should do it right after they finished the task, otherwise the outsider might leak important information.
In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, it wasn’t related to classified information, and it would be fine as long as the outsider kept it a secret.

However, Wei Lingfeng gave Leng Shaoting the right secretly, and other people were unaware of that.
Most people only heard that it was a special corps and there were twelve special forces in the team led by Leng Shaoting. They didn’t know that it was actually the Red Flame.
As a result, although Leng Shaoting’s teammates had the right to work independently, they needed to give an explanation if other people found out. It wasn’t a serious problem anyway.
It was like the existence of illegal gangs. Illegal gangs were allowed to exist, but they couldn’t do anything to harm the country’s benefits. If they dared to do that, they would be removed. Although Wei Lingfeng was the leader of the Red Flame, he couldn’t make all the decisions, especially when the problem wasn’t serious. If Leng Shaoting’s team couldn’t give an explanation, it could cause a scene and he would be blamed.
There were a lot of people who couldn’t wait to see him make mistakes! Most importantly, he didn’t know that an outsider joined the Red Flame this time, nor who the outsider was. If he knew, he would have said that it was his arrangement, and no problem would have been caused, but he was unaware. If he made up an excuse for that, it would be his fault. After all, it wasn’t easy to fool the person who reported
it.
It was allowed, but the person still reported it, because someone deliberately found fault with Leng Shaoting and Wei Lingfeng.
The person belonged to the Yuan family’s faction and held an important position in the military.
Because Leng Shaoting was a soldier with a high rank in the military, only people in the military could report his bad behavior to their leader.
Therefore, that afternoon, Wei Lingfeng personally called Leng Shaoting, but he failed to get through to him, so he called Xu Jinchen. “Where is Leng Shaoting?” asked Wei Lingfeng.
“No idea, he just told me that he needed to leave for a week,” said Xu Jinchen.
“Who’s the woman that joined you in carrying out the task?” asked Wei Lingfeng again. “Um…” Xu Jinchen wasn’t very surprised that Wei Lingfeng was aware that an outsider joined them this time. It wasn’t a secret after all, but he couldn’t tell him Jing Yunyao’s identity without Leng Shaoting’s permission. “Well, it’s Shaoting’s arrangement. He said that if we need any help, we can turn to her.” “Does she have any superpowers?” Wei Lingfeng guessed.
“Yeah.” Xu Jinchen understood that Wei Lingfeng was aware of the existence of people with superpowers.
Hearing that, Wei Lingfeng immediately had respect for Jing Yunyao. However, even though she had superpowers, he had to solve the problem right now.
He was aware of the existence of people with superpowers in this world, but other people didn’t know about it. Besides, he couldn’t let other people know about it either.

“What?” It was difficult for Xu Jinchen. He didn’t expect that it would become a problem, so he didn’t ask Leng Shaoting about it beforehand. If their leader wanted to know about it, he wasn’t sure whether to tell them who Jing Yunyao was.
Wei Lingfeng thought that Xu Jinchen was worried that it might cause the woman harm, so he added. “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt her. She helped us a lot, but it breaks the rules, so you better explain it or it’ll affect Leng Shaoting and the Red Flame.”
Even though the Red Flame would be fine no matter how serious the problem became, it would leave a stain on their reputation.
It didn’t matter, but they still wanted to get rid of it if it was possible.
“Oh, think of a good reason. They’re not easy to fool,” said Wei Lingfeng. He wouldn’t blame them for it, but he needed a reasonable explanation to shut those people’s mouths.
Knowing that, Xu Jinchen realized that someone was picking on Leng Shaoting and Wei Lingfeng, but he couldn’t ask further about it. It was an order from their leader, so he had to obey it.
After that, Xu Jinchen called Jing Yunyao and told her about it. He asked her what they should do.
Since their leader was already aware of it and wanted to see her, Jing Yunyao couldn’t place Xu Jinchen in a dilemma or cause a stain on Leng Shaoting’s reputation.
However, she and Wei Lingfeng had met before and perhaps there were familiar faces among the several senior officers. If she showed up, they would know who she was. Therefore, Jing Yunyao told Master Leng about it. If it was possible, she hoped that Master Leng could go to see them along with her.
After Master Leng heard about it, he was furious, but he didn’t know who found fault with Leng Shaoting and Wei Lingfeng.
Anyway, since they wanted to see Jing Yunyao, then they would have a meeting. If they didn’t do that, there would be more problems. By then, Leng Shaoting would be punished for dereliction of duty.
