Forward Base Meeting Room.
Yi Chuan, who had rushed over from Embassy Street, finally caught up with Chu Guang as he emerged from the shelter and wasted no time getting to the point upon meeting him.
"Is McCullen in your hands?"
Chu Guang stared at him for a moment, then nodded.
"That's correct."
Yi Chuan paused, slightly taken aback.
He had thought Chu Guang would beat around the bush or feign ignorance, not expecting him to admit it outright.
Seeing the guy not saying anything for a while, Chu Guang, although guessing what he probably wanted to say, still politely asked.
"Is there a problem?"
Snapping back to reality, Yi Chuan cleared his throat lightly.
"Uh, it's not a big deal, the council asked me to inquire if you could transfer McCullen to our custody. After all, he's an important war criminal. It's somewhat inappropriate to have him digging for coal on your end, and it could affect subsequent ceasefire talks."
