He was very unhappy right now.
He had been unhappy ever since he was forced into the position of President of the Spiritist Association.
He was even more unhappy after learning that the Special Squad stood by during the Zerg invasion.
And now, he discovered that the Special Squad might have been the ones who pushed him into all his major failures...
Well then, let everyone be unhappy together!
At Anxin Hospital, Gao Yuan, with withered white chrysanthemum petals stuck in his hair, was pulled aside by his subordinate. He raged, "Unless it's a catastrophe like the Human Federation collapsing tomorrow, tell me later!"
Those damn bastards!
They didn't even say a word and just released all these news articles!
They cleared themselves of all their problems!
If they're so capable, why don't they go back to Central Star!!!
His subordinate flinched, feeling that his usually gentle and refined boss was developing a second personality. "B-but Chu Ran exposed the Divine Ruins Key!"
Gao Yuan's body stiffened. He slowly turned his head like a robot, seemingly making a creaking sound. "Say... that... again?"
The subordinate quietly pushed his Light Brain forward. On it, Chu Ran's long-unused, almost moss-covered account had posted a new message.
"I have never seen the Divine Ruins Key. No one should consider the possibility of obtaining it from me. If I had it, I wouldn't have been forced to Old Street, let alone the Garbage Dump."
Divine Ruins Key!
Gao Yuan stared at those four words, frozen like a statue.
And the angry crowd surrounding the hospital suddenly fell silent, like ducks with their necks grabbed.
Silence was the Cambridge of the night.
"Hahahaha, hahahahaha!"
Gao Yuan suddenly burst into loud laughter.
His subordinate flinched again, nearly dropping his Light Brain.
He didn't dare turn to look at his boss's expression. Had he finally been driven crazy?
"Good, well done," Gao Yuan's tone carried a hint of satisfaction. "Can't have me losing sleep and hair alone. Let those bastards also experience what it feels like to have a bolt from the blue!"
He looked at the troublemakers with cold eyes. Since the Divine Ruins Key was involved, did anyone still want to make a scene?
At the Military General Hospital.
Lei Jianguo was arranging Chu Ran's examination.
Seeing Chu Ran's new post, his expression shifted dramatically. He turned and rushed into Charlie An's room. "Does your sister have a contact with the Explorer Association? I implore Master Maria to visit the Seventh Sub-Star!"
"Understood."
A cold female voice answered.
Lei Jianguo's head snapped up. Charlie An's Light Brain was projecting a woman in a white lab coat. Her golden eyes shone like the sun, her brown hair coiled at the back of her head. Her features were sharp, her expression stern. It was Charlie An's sister, Charlie Jing, Deputy Director of the Central Star Research Institute.
"How did you..."
Charlie Jing's expression was indifferent. "Your Seventh Sub-Star has practically become a news factory lately. Journalism graduates from the Federation Comprehensive University are scrambling to intern there. As long as they're lucky enough, a newcomer can also win a Pulitzer Prize."
Lei Jianguo's face turned green. "If it weren't for..."
"Shut up," Charlie Jing didn't want to hear a fool's excuses. "The Central Star Research Institute sent a bunch of smart-ass fools. The military sent a bunch of muscle-brained fools. And you, you're a fool in a high position."
"Since the time Chu Ran recovered her Spiritual Power, your stupidity has been exposed."
Lei Jianguo fell silent instantly.
"In ten years, you never saw the Chu family's Schrödinger's conscience, and you still expected them to see the light," Charlie Jing's eyes held a trace of disdain. "No wonder you always barely scraped by on theory exams."
Seeing the situation was bad, Charlie An held his chest and coughed twice. "Sis, don't bring up old scores now. Currently..."
"Do you think I didn't scold you because I thought you did well?" Charlie Jing's sharp gaze shot at Charlie An. "I was locked away in research and couldn't get out, but you actually went along with those fools' deductions. Ha, a bunch of people who can't even tell God Summoning Society's Divine Silence Soup from something else."
"Professor Hu, she..." Charlie An tried to explain.
"If she told you to die, would you die?" Charlie Jing's expression grew harsher. "As a researcher, you should base your conclusions on data, not on some master's endorsement. Don't you know that?"
Charlie An was speechless, lowering his head in defeat.
Thinking of Professor Hu, a complex wariness flickered in Charlie Jing's eyes. "The situation on Central Star is also very complicated lately. She probably..."
Her voice suddenly paused. Charlie Jing frowned deeply, lost in thought.
Charlie An and Lei Jianguo were silent as quails.
"Send me Chu Heng's previous test data," Charlie Jing said, her expression dark. "Don't worry about Huang Feiying and those fools. Yu Mei and Andrew have already set off for the Seventh Sub-Star."
With that, Charlie Jing hung up.
Charlie An looked at Lei Jianguo, resigned. "Andrew and Yu Mei should be able to keep those guys in check."
"Indeed," Lei Jianguo rubbed his nose. "I just don't know if Chang Han knows about this."
A ding sounded.
Lei Jianguo looked down and saw a message from Chang Han.
"Away for recuperation. Do not disturb."
Hmm, so it seemed she knew.
Lei Jianguo sighed.
