June 9, 342, 7:00 AM.
The security personnel eventually left.
This was because they hadn't found the missing R-nation citizens at Tang Li's home, and they didn't want to appear like collaborators.
After the security personnel left, Tang Li resumed her daily morning routine.
Tang Li noticed that after a few days of training, the previously trained parts of her body had stopped getting stronger, likely having reached their limit.
However, certain areas related to the movements of the martial arts forms had been strengthening with her recent training, allowing her to better utilize these techniques.
After her workout, Tang Guo's breakfast was ready.
Thus, Tang Li continued her routine of eating breakfast while watching the news.
[Last night, a riot broke out at the underground city construction site. Over 300 rioting convicts were shot dead on the spot, with more than 30 escaping control… Please stay alert and report any suspicious individuals…]
Listening to the news on the television, Tang Li paid no mind.
Riots at the underground city construction site were a regular occurrence, so it wasn't unusual.
However, she hadn't expected that this riot would have something to do with her.
As Tang Li was eating breakfast, on the top floor of the black market in Shelter No. 2 of Jiangcheng, the same two individuals from before were once again arguing.
"I've already helped you get those people out of prison; why did you instigate a riot at the underground city construction site? With actions like these, you're making it very difficult for the high-ranking officials we bribed and for our security department!"
President Yang stared angrily at the person from the R-nation branch.
The other person also looked displeased. "Getting them sent to the underground city construction site counts as getting them out of prison?"
"Well… doesn't it?"
President Yang explained, "Sending them to the underground city construction site is only temporary. We'll find people to get them out of the construction site in a few days."
Two days prior, President Yang had mobilized his bribed high-ranking officials to transfer Liu Feng, the head of the special investigation team for the "June 3rd fire case," and appointed the security personnel surnamed Du as the acting team leader.
Subsequently, the security personnel surnamed Du claimed that their pursuit of Tang Li was for personal reasons and not related to the research project, thus deeming further investigation unnecessary. They sent them to the underground city construction site solely on charges of disturbing public order.
"Baka!"
Upon hearing President Yang's explanation, the person from the R-nation branch not only failed to understand but also cursed at him.
"Don't you know what kind of place the underground city construction site is? And you say 'in a few days'?"
"After only two days, 3 people out of 24 have already died! Are you waiting until they all die before you retrieve their bodies from the construction site?"
Hearing this, President Yang angrily retorted, "Vice President Tokugawa! I am the president of the Z-nation branch, not your subordinate! Please show some respect!"
Vice President Tokugawa of the R-nation branch heard this but said nothing further, only asking, "Then, President Yang, you don't want the longevity serum anymore?"
Upon hearing this, President Yang deflated like a leaky balloon, rendered speechless.
Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside, reporting an urgent matter.
After President Yang let the person in, they whispered a few words into his ear, and President Yang's face instantly changed drastically.
"You acted independently again?"
Facing President Yang's accusation, Tokugawa appeared unhurried.
"Our R-nation branch has its reasons for taking action; how can you call it acting independently?"
Hearing this, President Yang incredulously questioned:
"Dispatching people to the Military Research Institute, to Researcher Song Pinxuan's independent laboratory, what is the reason for that?"
"By doing this, aren't you confirming what Miss Tang said, that you were tracking her to obtain information about brain-computer interface-related experiments?"
"I've already told you, our people in the security department said they were tracking Miss Tang because of the death warriors. Now you're sending people to the Military Research Institute again; what are our people in the security department supposed to do?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Upon hearing President Yang's questions, Tokugawa finally lost his arrogant demeanor and showed a confused expression.
He asked, "What are you talking about? When did we send anyone to the Military Research Institute?"
President Yang sneered, "Still pretending?"
"This morning, outside the Military Research Institute in Shelter No. 6, nine bodies were discovered. They were wearing brain-computer interfaces and mechanical exoskeletons completely different from those developed in Song Pinxuan's laboratory, and they all committed suicide by poison!"
"Now, their bodies have been taken over by the military. Furthermore, Researcher Song Pinxuan mentioned the incident where those trackers who followed Miss Tang previously also committed suicide by poison."
"That case hasn't even been officially closed yet. Now, it's directly being handled by the military!"
Hearing these words, Tokugawa looked utterly bewildered.
He felt completely innocent and said, "We clearly sent people to Shelter No. 2 last night to capture Miss Tang. How could they suddenly end up at the Military Research Institute in Shelter No. 6?"
President Yang retorted sarcastically, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
