Chapter 255: Positions, Differences, and Struggles
"Really? Then we'll wait and see." Patrick Sara put away his oppression and returned to his usual state, "Aslan."
"Father."
"Miss Wang will stay in PLANT for a few days, you will be responsible for receiving her."
"Yes."
As the speaker and military chairman, Siegel Klein and Patrick Sara have countless things to do, and it is impossible for them to accompany Wang Liumei all the time. Aslan also knows Wang Liumei and has no military duties for the time being, so he just took over this job.
"Long time no see, Miss Wang."
"Long time no see, Aslan, now is private time, you can call me by my name."
"Uh...Okay, Wang Liumei."
"How are you and Lacus?"
"Eh? What's going on?"
"Aren't you an engaged couple?"
"Well...you know our situation, I joined ZAFT and spent most of my time in the army, and she has her own things to do, so..."
"That's really a pity."
"Isn't it the same for you? Yang Hui..."
The two chatted about family matters along the way, but Aslan suddenly shut up when he talked about Yang Hui.
"What's wrong?" Wang Liumei asked Aslan.
"No...nothing." Aslan quickly ended the topic. Although he also wanted to know the answer, why Yang Hui appeared in [Heliopolis], there were so many people around, it was not a good opportunity to ask.
Seeing this, Wang Liumei did not ask any more questions. Following Aslan's intention, he shifted the topic back to family matters and came all the way to Sarah's house.
"You are... Liumei? Oh, I haven't seen you for almost a year, right? You are getting prettier."
When they arrived at Sarah's house, a gentle and kind lady came to them. She was Patrick Sarah's wife, Aslan's mother, and the family member of a certain important person whom Wang Liumei mentioned in the hearing committee, Renoia Sarah.
On February 14, CE70, a month before the "Bloody Valentine's Day" incident, Yang Hui secretly told PLANT that the Earth Army was going to launch a secret attack, but neither Siegel Klein nor Patrick Sarah took it seriously. After all, the two sides had not yet started a full-scale war, which led to the tragedy.
After learning all this, Yang Hui found an excuse to transfer Renoia Sarah in advance and saved her life. This was also the beginning of Yang Hui's connection with PLANT's top management.
The people who were responsible for taking Renoia Sarah away were Wang Liumei and Huang, so compared with Yang Hui, the behind-the-scenes commander, she had a better relationship with Wang Liumei and Huang.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Madam Sara."
"Come on, come in, kid, why didn't you let me know earlier if you were coming so I could prepare."
"Don't bother, Madam Sara, I came to PLANT for business."
"Is it... about [Heliopolis]?"
"Yes."
"..." Although Renoa Sara was only an agronomist, as Patrick Sara's wife, she knew the importance of right and wrong. After a short silence, she skipped the topic directly, "Liumei, what do you want to eat? I'll cook for you tonight."
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky."
"Well, you sit at home, I'll prepare it, Aslan."
"Mother."
"Entertain Liumei well."
"Yes."
Renoa Sara took the servants out to buy things. She was going to prepare a big meal to entertain Wang Liumei, and at the same time... she was leaving space for Wang Liumei and Aslan. From the moment she entered the door, Renoa Sara noticed Aslan's expression of wanting to say something but not saying it, and guessed that Aslan had something to ask Wang Liumei alone.
After everyone left, Aslan asked the servants to leave. After making sure that no one was around, he asked Wang Liumei.
"Why is Yang Hui in [Heliopolis]?"
"How should I know? Yang Hui is very busy, and it is difficult for us to meet now." Wang Liumei answered casually. Aslan knew that the other party was perfunctory. He was about to get anxious, but when he saw Wang Liumei's next move, he stopped.
While answering, Wang Liumei took out an exquisite black box from her handbag and pulled out two antennas from the edge. The red indicator light kept flashing and turned green after a few seconds. Wang Liumei put the black box on the table.
"What is this?"
"Signal interference equipment, Aslan, I didn't expect that your carelessness is still the same." Wang Liumei sighed and taught.
"This... this is my home? Why do you want to interfere with the signal? Could it be!"
"Because this is your home, you need to be more careful. Chairman Sara is very powerful."
"How could this be... how did you know?"
"I don't know, but I am now representing Orb. I have to be careful about my words and deeds. I can't leave any loopholes. Whether there are or not, the necessary precautions must be taken." Wang Liumei explained. In fact, she didn't know whether Sara's home was monitored or monitored, but the content of the conversation was very sensitive. If the news leaked out, it might ruin her previous gains.
"You... forget it, you are very powerful now."
"Really? I think it's far from it."
"You... forget it, can you answer my question now?"
"Have you read the OS of the Holy Shield?" Wang Liumei answered Aslan.
"How do you know the name of the Holy Shield?"
"GAT-X series, called [G Plan] inside the Earth, Orb is the assistant, I am the direct contact person, and Yang Hui..."
"... Directly participate in the assistance? But... wait, the OS was written by Yang Hui?"
Now, Aslan suddenly recalled what the vague familiarity was when he rewrote the OS. Wasn't that Yang Hui's special code?
"That's right."
"What on earth is he doing? That kind of OS is not something that humans can use, right? Can such an OS be handed over to the Earth Army?" Aslan asked with a headache. Yang Hui is a person who will never suffer a loss, but the OS he wrote is absolutely impossible for natural people to use. Not to mention natural people, even adjusters are quite difficult. Can such an OS be handed over to the Earth Army to complete the transaction?
"Wait, what if... this is Yang Hui's plan?"
Aslan suddenly considered another possibility, that is, Yang Hui deliberately wrote a monster version of the OS, the purpose of which is to prevent the Earth Army from using it in a short period of time. This is the backhand he left in this transaction.
But it's not right. If the Earth Army uses this as an excuse to refuse to pay the final reward, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Unless... it can be proved that such an OS can be used by natural persons!
But... can such an OS really be used by "people"?
"Is it possible!"
After eliminating all the impossibilities, the final conclusion made Aslan dizzy. This was simply an answer like a fairy tale.
"Yang Hui..." Aslan looked at Wang Liumei with his eyes wide open. The conclusion was too shocking and stuck in his throat.
"Who knows?" Wang Liumei didn't know what Aslan wanted to ask, but from his expression, he guessed that the question he wanted to ask might be related to Yang Hui's secret, at least a secret that had not yet been exposed. In this way, Wang Liumei would definitely not be able to give Aslan a definite answer. No matter how good their relationship was in private, they were now people from different forces.
"... I know, then Yang Hui in [Heliopolis] makes sense, but I didn't expect... that we would be enemies when we met again."
"Are you enemies now?" Wang Liumei asked Aslan.
"Isn't it?"
"It depends on how you look at this issue." Wang Liumei spread her hands and said.
Different positions and different goals will lead to disagreements, and disagreements will lead to fights.
From Yang Hui's perspective, [G Plan] is a plan he participated in and assisted, so he naturally has to protect this plan to gain greater benefits for himself, and the ZAFT army launched an attack on [Heliopolis]. As a senior member of Orb, Yang Hui naturally has to protect [Heliopolis].
From Aslan's perspective, he is a member of the ZAFT army. ZAFT and the Earth Army are enemies, and attacking the Earth Army is understandable. Moreover, he is a soldier, and obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.
So, both sides are right, but because of different positions, there are disagreements and fights, but... does this mean that Yang Hui and Aslan have become enemies?
And... a temporary hostile relationship is not unchangeable.
"Well, it's really tiring to talk to you now." Aslan said depressedly.
"This is growth, after all, the current situation of Orb is so severe. It's you who surprises me, Aslan, you are the son of Chairman Sara, but you are still so innocent."
"Uh..."
"Hehe, it seems that you will be eaten by Lacus in the future." Wang Liumei covered her mouth and chuckled.
Looking at Aslan's current state, it is concluded that he still doesn't know the true side of Lacus, that is the real monster.
The reason why Wang Liumei has achieved what she has now is that she hides a sophisticated soul under the appearance of a girl, and Lacus... Wang Liumei and Huang both know that on the surface she is a naive and cute silly girl, but inside she is dark, and her methods, vision, and ideas are not inferior to those of experienced politicians. She is a natural political talent.
"Forget it. Although Lux and I are engaged, we don't have much time to meet each other..."
"But haven't you all accepted it?"
"Yes, just like Yang Hui once said, who can tell what will happen in the future?"
"Hehe, that's true."
"Okay, I've seen you and Yang Hui, but what about Huang? How is she?"
"Sister Huang..."
"Why? Did something happen to her?" Seeing Wang Liumei hesitate to speak, Aslan said worriedly.
"That's not the case, but... I won't tell you."
Aslan: (⊙﹏⊙)
The real situation of Huang is the top secret of Orb, and it must not be leaked before officially stepping onto the world stage.
"Kacha~"
Unknowingly, a long time has passed, and the sound of the house door rang out. Renoa Sara has returned. Wang Liumei put away the signal jammer, and the two ended the previous topic.
