Guo Xuyang settled comfortably into the villa at this time.
The old man smoking a cigar and the middle-aged man would not be returning for the time being.
After traveling all day and exerting so many abilities, he was indeed a bit tired.
He went to the kitchen downstairs to find something to eat, then went upstairs, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
"Boss, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Jiang Qixin stood before the desk of the white-haired old man.
"This matter is very difficult to investigate.
You say someone deliberately targeted Guo Xuyang, but there is no concrete evidence.
And a spaceship was destroyed.
They could completely claim it was an accident.
What kind of accident it was, by the time we find out and analyze it, it will probably take ages."
The white-haired old man tapped the desk and said.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?
Yangzi is a great hero of our country."
"This mastermind behind the scenes has too much power to arrange for a spaceship to be destroyed.
This is not something an ordinary person can do.
Don't be too sad. Find an opportunity to notify his family.
Any honors due will be personally delivered. Whatever unfulfilled wishes he had, try to help him fulfill them."
"I can't bring myself to say it."
Jiang Qixin hit his head and said.
"But we have to face reality.
Guo Xuyang is indeed very outstanding, but this kind of incident happening is not something we want to see either.
Besides, he wasn't the only one on the spaceship; we also have to find ways to appease the other few."
"But..."
"No more 'buts'. I have to go and report this.
I suspect this mastermind is targeting the people on that list.
We must be careful they don't play any more tricks."
The white-haired old man waved his hand.
"This mastermind is likely beyond the ability of just one or two families. We must use thunderous means to suppress them."
"I understand."
Jiang Qixin turned and walked out.
"Who could it be? What is their purpose?"
He muttered a couple of sentences and turned to walk inside.
...
"Please come in."
"I apologize for disturbing you so late, but there is an urgent situation that needs to be reported."
"What situation?"
"This afternoon, the base prepared to depart with a group of seven members to search for the interstellar scavenging team. Except for one person who was temporarily unwell and did not board the spaceship, the other six members perished due to the spaceship crash."
"How could this happen?"
"Jiang Qixin and I suspect foul play."
"Hm? Foul play?"
"Yes, Guo Xuyang, who provided the list, was also on board the crashed spaceship."
"What did you say?"
The old man stood up abruptly upon hearing this news.
"Are you implying that this spaceship crash was premeditated?"
"We cannot help but suspect it."
"If that's the case, then the other party is too cruel, aren't they?
To retaliate against one person, they tampered with a spaceship. These are six precious lives.
These are talents that we have cultivated at great cost.
Who drafted the list?
And who issued the notification?"
"I, along with two others, drafted the list, and Jiang Qixin personally issued the notification."
"Are you suspecting those two?"
The old man glanced at the white-haired old man.
"This operation can be considered top secret.
At the time, I was afraid of other situations arising, which is why I had Jiang Qixin notify them personally."
"Can you guarantee that Xiao Jiang is not involved?"
"He and Guo Xuyang are like brothers. He just left my office."
"Investigate those two. Maintain secrecy."
"Yes."
"Xiao Guo is a good comrade. Ensure all follow-up work is done properly."
"I have already made arrangements."
"How can these people be so ruthless?
This is forcing me to make a choice."
The old man sighed.
"Should I..."
"You go and investigate first. I still can't bring myself to be ruthless."
"Alright." The white-haired old man retreated from the room.
