“The boss's own family is doing well, but they always felt that the boss was wasting himself, wasting time and life.

They thought that if they lost a son, they could have a few more. It wasn't worth the boss's hard work, investigating every dead end.

But the boss is nostalgic and sentimental, insisting on coming. So... you see." Song Ran sighed, watching the blue private plane slowly take off.

"So, we're lucky? We followed a good boss?" Li Cheng颐 said.

"Indeed," Sima Gui said helplessly, leaning on his crutch. "I wanted to run away so many times, but I hesitated a few times and couldn't bring myself to do it. If only I had..."

He didn't finish his sentence, and like Song Ran, he sighed.

Now the boss is unconscious and leaving for Bai Xing for treatment.

All their business here has been halted.

Although Li Cheng颐 was worried, if Mr. Mu was telling the truth, the Blue Book ritual would be interrupted and automatically terminated soon, and the boss should wake up.

Moreover, in terms of biomedicine, Bai Xing is indeed much stronger than Yi Guo.

All they, as employees, can do is wish him well.

"I plan to go back and maintain the operation of the profitable companies over at Hong Jin. As long as we don't mess around, it shouldn't be a problem," Song Ran said, withdrawing his gaze and looking at Sima Gui.

"Sima, what are you planning to do?"

"What else can I do? Heal my injuries! Otherwise, I'll be dead for sure next time!" Sima Gui said helplessly.

"Cheng颐, what about you?" Song Ran looked at Li Cheng颐.

"I've formed a small team, and we're still working together. Otherwise, if the boss leaves, I'll be completely in the dark when facing the dead ends. Gui-ge, want to join?" Li Cheng颐 invited.

From the Syndra incident, it was clear that Sima Gui was indeed a righteous person who valued friendship.

With such a person, there's absolutely no need to worry about him stabbing you in the back.

Although his abilities are a bit weak, trust is often a more important element.

"Me?" Sima Gui smiled. "Forget it, I know your Destiny Garden, it's full of big shots. I'd be less than a nobody in there. What would I do there?"

He was clearly very clear-headed.

Hearing this, Li Cheng颐 didn't say much. Indeed, the Destiny Garden is still in its teething phase, and people need to go through things together before they can see if the other person is trustworthy.

Thinking about it carefully, now is really not the time to bring burdens.

"We dead-end people are fearless, we have worthless lives. All we ask for is to live comfortably, with a clear conscience. If I came to drag you down, I'd really feel uncomfortable," Sima Gui added.

"Then what about the Blue Book?" Li Cheng颐 asked.

"Put it on hold for now, and wait for the boss to wake up before we talk about it," Song Ran replied.

After these words, the three of them didn't speak again.

If the boss wakes up, that's good, but if he doesn't...

Although Mr. Mu told them how to wake up Syndra, he himself might be a manipulated puppet, and the information he knows might not be true.

Only by finding the mastermind behind Mr. Mu can the truth be revealed.

Before leaving Yunshan County, Fucong Province, Li Cheng颐 made a special trip to the Du family village that Song Ran had mentioned.

But it was just a remote and closed-off village, where they had met Mr. Mu and found the whereabouts of the Blue Book.

Unfortunately, Mr. Mu himself was a puppet, and the mastermind behind him probably wanted to influence and manipulate Syndra's team through him in order to achieve his own goals.

After returning to Suiyang, Li Cheng颐 told Rainbow Candy about this and asked her to help him keep an eye on information about the Blue Book.

After their last shared secret, Rainbow Candy's trust in him had increased greatly, and she agreed readily, patting her chest.

Anyway, it's just adding another project to the AI. As for the supercomputing network fees and electricity bills, they're readily available.

So, Li Cheng颐 returned to his original routine.

Every week, he would practice martial arts, then go to work to inquire about the boss's condition, and go to the botanical garden to check on the cultivated mutant polluted flowers.

Most importantly, he would go to the Silent Little Shop to absorb Bristleleaf Speedwell in order to obtain the inferior Shadow Dragon Bloodline Flower Language.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.

New Century Building · Hong Jin Biomedical Company.

Li Cheng颐 walked out of the elevator with a bag of milk tea and saw that many people in the company lobby were packing their things.

Song Ran was talking softly with Pencil Eyebrows on the side. Not far away, a tall woman with blonde hair and brown eyes was directing people to move things.

"Cheng颐, you're here?" Seeing Li Cheng颐, Song Ran waved to him.

"What's going on? Song-ge. Why are you packing things up?" Li Cheng颐 frowned slightly and walked closer.

"The news came from the head office that all the Bai Xing employees here have to return to the country," Song Ran replied. "I don't know the specific reason, but it's said that the boss's nephew gave the order directly."

"All returning to the country?" Hearing this, Li Cheng颐 suddenly remembered what Ding Ning had mentioned to him before, and the old man at the Intelligentsia's Mental Calculation Center had said something similar.

"I also have to go abroad for a while with them, to Bai Xing. I'll be back in a while," Song Ran continued.

"You're leaving too?" Li Cheng颐 said in surprise. "Then how will the company's structure here be maintained?"

"I was originally planning to let you take over, but I guess you're too lazy to do it, so Lin Qianqian will be responsible in the future," Song Ran pointed to Pencil Eyebrows.

"Lin Qianqian? Oh, it's Pencil?" Li Cheng颐 realized.

Pencil Eyebrows' originally solemn expression collapsed speechlessly at this moment. "I will be responsible for the operation of the company here in the future, but the same, Mr. Cheng颐, your position is no longer the previous assistant."

"Then what am I?" Li Cheng颐 smiled.

"Vice President," Pencil Eyebrows replied seriously. "Thirty percent of the company's equity transfer."

"..." The smile on Li Cheng颐's face gradually disappeared. "Did the boss's nephew say this?"

"No. To be precise, it's a pre-arranged plan that the boss had determined long ago. If anything happened to him, it would be handled according to this plan," Song Ran replied.

"..." Li Cheng颐 was speechless.

He suddenly understood why Song Ran and Sima Gui were willing to risk their lives to investigate the dead ends for Syndra's boss.

After signing a pile of documents and transferring the equity, he walked out of the company and looked at the blue sky, suddenly feeling empty.

'From now on, I should be in charge of everything.'

Without the boss at the helm, he suddenly had an inexplicable worry about making money.

Without taking a car, Li Cheng颐 slowly walked along the sidewalk, sorting out his thoughts.

He thought a lot. The boss's sudden coma disrupted his previous plans.

Perhaps this is a case of man proposes, heaven disposes.

Fortunately, the collection rate of Bristleleaf Speedwell has reached 63%. More than halfway there.

It's almost there... At that time, he will not only obtain a new Shadow Dragon Bloodline Flower Language.

He can also quickly absorb Flower Qi, open a new Flower God position, and obtain a new Flower Language.

Walking forward aimlessly, Li Cheng颐 unconsciously walked to the mobile stall where he had previously drunk juice in the open air.

Behind the stall were still two young bosses, a man and a woman, with faint animal tattoos on their arms.

The menu signs were still the same as before.

Red Date Ginger Milk, Kumquat Lemon, Orange Mood, and so on.

Li Cheng颐 took out his mobile phone, intending to scan and buy a cup of Red Date Ginger Milk. The weather was getting colder, and it would be comfortable to drink something warm.

"Now, an emergency notice."

Suddenly, the shopping mall screen, which had been playing music videos, switched to a news channel with a deep blue livestream background.

A middle-aged female anchor in a white business suit sat solemnly at the table, her expression serious and her voice low.

"At four o'clock in the morning on the 24th, Zhou Ying, a standing committee member of the National Integration Committee, Minister of Agriculture, and Crown Prince of the Empire, passed away at the Chao Yu City Heart and Brain Research Center due to sudden viral myocarditis, at the age of 47..."

"In order to completely eliminate the threat of terrorist attacks, according to the National Security and Defense Work, starting from the 30th, the Integration Committee has voted to launch a nationwide inspection and screening of terrorist attacks."

"Because the targets of the terrorist attacks and the suspects involved are largely from Bai Xing.

After the 30th, a comprehensive review will be conducted of all Bai Xing nationals staying in the country. Those who do not meet the requirements will be held legally responsible."

Li Cheng颐 stared blankly at the big screen, forgetting to scan the QR code with his mobile phone for a moment.

It wasn't just him; the pedestrians passing by and the passing vehicles all slowed down subconsciously, looking up at the news playing on the big screen.

Yi Guo, as a huge country with a population of billions, any move it makes will cause huge waves.

Therefore, many policies are implemented after small-scale testing.

But now...

The Crown Prince of the Empire, Zhou Ying, is dead, gone at only forty-odd years old? Ordinary people might think it's really viral myocarditis.

But the Intelligentsia or the modified human group certainly know that's impossible.

In today's society, where artificial hearts can be manufactured at will, even if it were really viral myocarditis, it wouldn't be so easy to take Zhou Ying's life.

And the nationwide large-scale screening of terrorist elements that followed was the core of the core.

The Crown Prince's death in the first step, and the screening of terrorist elements in the second step. Anyone with a little political acumen can quickly connect the two.

'The Crown Prince was assassinated by a terrorist attack...?' Li Cheng颐 guessed the answer in his heart.

He felt a heavy weight in his heart for some reason.

As if dark clouds were gathering, the atmospheric pressure was dropping, and he couldn't breathe.

Beep beep

The phone suddenly rang.

The ringtone also pulled him back from his reverie.

Taking it out, he saw it was Ding Ning.

He pressed to answer.

"Hello, Ning-ge?"

"Xiao颐, be careful lately, don't get close to the people of Bai Xing. There's going to be a big move from above," Ding Ning said seriously.

"I saw the news..." Li Cheng颐 replied.

"The one in charge of the screening this time is the Jiu Yi of An Du," Ding Ning said.

"Jiu Yi?"

"The strongest Intelligentsia official organization in Yi Guo!" Ding Ning said in a deep voice, "Just a week ago, the main force of Utopia was completely defeated by the Jiu Yi. From the first to the seventh, all were killed in battle.

They were originally prepared to completely wipe them out, but they encountered official modified humans from Bai Xing halfway, so they were blocked. Then the two sides clashed in the border airspace, causing many casualties. So..."

Hearing this, Li Cheng颐 already understood. Yi Guo is really going to take action against Bai Xing!

"Then the Crown Prince..."

"Was assassinated by Utopia, borrowing the power of Bai Xing," Ding Ning replied directly, without any scruples.
