Chapter 856 - 507: What Is the Unnamable (2)
A person was standing right beside her, yet He Yuxiu hadn’t noticed, and it startled her.
She was about to strike, but then she recognized the face: "Jia Qing?"
He Jiaqing smiled at He Yuxiu.
He Yuxiu smiled back: "You little rascal, when did you get back?"
These two hadn’t seen each other for a long time. To be honest, He Yuxiu had heard many rumors about He Jiaqing, about the Red Lotus, about the Brotherhood Alliance, and even about He Haiqin. There were rumors that He Haiqin died at He Jiaqing’s hands.
But that’s just how He Yuxiu is, she doesn’t care about rumors, and she wouldn’t doubt her nephew because of them. Seeing He Jiaqing made her genuinely happy.
However, He Jiaqing is not like that; he is very sensitive to rumors.
He came this time to verify the Red Lotus incident at Bridge Yesong, and upon seeing He Yuxiu, he couldn’t help but ask another question that had been bothering him.
"Aunt, did you and Li Qi..."
Bam!
He Jiaqing was kicked out of the room by He Yuxiu.
Yan Yulin, who was sleeping on the third floor, was awakened. She wanted to go downstairs to take a look, but remembered that He Yuxiu was never in a good mood when hearing the accountant’s reports, thinking she might be venting, she decided not to go down.
He Jiaqing wasn’t mad, he stood up confidently and re-entered the bedroom: "Aunt, I’m just reminding you, the two of you are of different generations, you should know to be ashamed..."
Bam!
He Jiaqing was kicked out again.
With He Jiaqing’s cultivation level, He Yuxiu couldn’t beat him, but an aunt is an aunt; at least there is some respect: "Aunt, just be honest with me, how many times have you?"
...
After figuring out the whole story of the Bridge Yesong incident, He Jiaqing left the He Family Mansion.
From He Yuxiu’s description, what she saw at Bridge Yesong was the Mysterious Red Life Lotus.
This matter is baffling.
He Jiaqing, in the outside provinces, had gained Cloud Top Cultivation with the Red Lotus, and now he faced a problem — the Red Lotus he once possessed might not be real.
If the Red Lotus is fake, then is his cultivation level real?
Being stuck in the basement for too long, He Jiaqing’s thoughts were somewhat unclear.
He rubbed his forehead, amidst the chaos, suddenly feeling a slight itchiness.
He Jiaqing was startled and heard a familiar voice: "When stealing, you can’t be absent-minded. If you’re constantly so distracted, you’ll lose your life in the blink of an eye."
Green Flower!
He Jiaqing turned around, eyes cold, looking at Greenwater Beggar.
Greenwater Beggar chuckled: "Daring to show your teeth at me now? You used to act like a cat, I truly didn’t see that you were a tiger. First, tell me, where’s the Saint’s Jade Seal?"
...
Dark Star Bureau, Office.
Li Banfeng was reviewing the entire process of the operation, two key elements directed the whole event to the same direction.
First was the terrible signal at the textile factory.
Second was the dysfunction of explosives in the textile factory.
From the feedback of the Explosives Team, more than seventy percent of explosives didn’t detonate at that time.
More than seventy percent.
In Puluo State, the probability of explosives successfully detonating is around one-third.
In Puluo State, radio signals can hardly transmit through normal channels.
Why did an abandoned textile factory show characteristics of Puluo State?
Li Banfeng called Dumpling, asked him to find similar cases related to the textile factory. Before the materials were delivered, Li Banfeng first received the meeting notification.
Shen Jingye wanted to hold an emergency meeting, focusing on discussing issues related to the Ruirong Textile Factory case.
Apparently, he also realized the severity of the issue.
Li Banfeng went to the meeting, at the entrance, the staff first collected phones.
For confidential meetings, not bringing a phone is standard procedure, and Li Banfeng usually doesn’t have the habit of using a phone.
The palm-sized projector stayed in Li Banfeng’s jacket pocket, he reached into the pocket, the projector automatically handed over the phone and satellite phone to Li Banfeng.
After handing over the phone, he entered the conference room, twelve deputy directors sat in their positions, some were flipping through documents, some whispered among themselves, waiting for the meeting to start.
As usual, Shen Jingye was the last one to enter, seated at the position of the chief director, announcing the beginning of the meeting.
Li Banfeng thought this meeting was mainly about the textile factory case.
The meeting indeed revolved around the textile factory case, but the focus wasn’t on the factory, nor the case, but on the characterization and responsibility of the event.
The overall result of the event was positive, the alien creatures were completely eradicated, preventing a larger disaster.
However, there were issues during the event’s process, with nine members of the Explosives Team killed, this matter must have a responsibility recognized.
Talking about responsibility, all the directors kept silent, Shen Jingye was prepared, he first questioned Director Cao, who was in charge of the laboratory.
Why weren’t the worms in the dumplings detected before, this responsibility surely couldn’t be shirked.
Director Cao also had preparations, he took out three documents, the first was sampling records. There was no problem with sampling, according to the regulations, they took samples from the dumpling, from the surface to deep layers, the laboratory obtained them all.
The second was the test record, the test process was fine, the test results were fine, every necessary experiment had been conducted.
The third was a re-inspection record, the laboratory’s samples were still preserved, after re-testing, the results were consistent with before; the samples contained only fibrous proteins, no cell structures, and certainly no living worms.
Shen Jingye didn’t further discuss this issue; regardless of how sufficient Director Cao’s reasons were, the laboratory’s responsibility definitely couldn’t be evaded.
Next was the responsibility of the Explosives Team; with more than seventy percent of explosives failing to detonate, the team’s own responsibility surely couldn’t be shirked.
