Pei Jun, being a member of the military base, was naturally required to attend this strategic meeting, so they had no choice but to wait at the Academy of Sciences.

Zhan Siyu took Nan Xiangwan to the Academy of Sciences to see the research results, and the group parted ways at the entrance of the conference room.

The fire at the seed warehouse has been completely resolved, but Nan Xiangwan is still not quite sure what happened, so she wants to take this opportunity to ask Zhan Siyu for the truth.

"Seed warehouse?" Nangong Chen looked a little guilty.

Nan Xiangwan then asked, "Is it because the problem hasn't been resolved yet? So you don't know the reason either?"

Nangong Chen quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not, Miss Nan. Of course we know what happened, but let's treat this as a mystery for now!"

"What's there to hide? Wanwan, the fire at the seed warehouse was caused by our own people!" Zhan Siyu said directly.

This was originally a secret among the technicians from Blue Planet, but Nan Xiangwan was no outsider, so Zhan Siyu told him the truth directly.

Nan Xiangwan asked疑惑地, "Why would you do that? Is there something wrong with the seeds in the warehouse inside?"

Nangong Chen laughed again. Now that Zhan Siyu had already revealed the secret, what else did he have to hide?

"Miss Nan is absolutely right. There is indeed a secret about the seeds in the warehouse, a secret that the old general cannot know!"

"So Zhan-ge had a sudden inspiration and set the warehouse on fire!"

When Nangong Chen revealed the truth, Nan Xiangwan was still quite shocked, because Zhan Siyu had never done anything like this before.

"One must know how to be flexible!" Zhan Siyu laughed.

They both spoke somewhat hesitantly, clearly indicating that there were still some secrets they hadn't told Nan Xiangwan. However, since this was a matter for the Academy of Sciences, Nan Xiangwan shouldn't pry too much.

"Okay, I really didn't expect the seed warehouse fire to be caused by our own people. Well then, it's alright..."

"You don't need to explain to me. Now that I know the situation inside the Academy of Sciences, I'm relieved!" Nan Xiangwan said.

The strategic meeting ended at this point, and Pei Jun approached the old general privately, wanting to discuss something else with him.

The old general was quite puzzled, since Pei Jun would never make such a request. Could there be a problem?

"You haven't been back to the military base in ages, have you? You've been hanging out with Zhan Siyu and the others lately, and seem to be having a good time?"

"Also, I think the food street project has been quite successful. You must have played a part in promoting it, right?"

"Honestly, all the major families are trying to avoid getting involved with those people from Water Blue Star. Why are you so stubborn and won't listen to advice?" the old general earnestly advised.

He treated Pei Jun like his own child, so naturally he was quite worried about his situation.

It's a foregone conclusion that the seven major families will unite to deal with the Ye family; even those who aren't part of the eight major families are well aware of this.

The people of Rose Star are probably already prepared; if the families go to war, they will have to consider their own future.

Military bases can generally avoid involvement in such matters, and Pei Jun had absolutely no need to get involved. However, in order to help Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, he actually volunteered to get involved.

"You're really muddle-headed, kid!" The old general shook his head.

Pei Jun entered the military base at a young age and became the old general's apprentice at that time. Their relationship was that of both teacher and father.

Hearing the old general's concern for him, Pei Jun smiled with emotion.

“General, I know your concerns, but there are some things I have to do!” Pei Jun said.

The old general smiled and said, "I know you're a very stubborn child, and once you've made up your mind about who your friends are, you'll never change it!"

"So what brings you here today? It's not about the food street, is it?"

"You better remember this: I will not directly participate in the struggle between the eight great families. If I also change my neutral stance, then something really bad is going to happen to Rose Star!"

The old general was giving Pei Jun a heads-up, saying that if it was about Zhan Siyu, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to help.

There is no alliance between the military base and the eight major families, so the old general will always remain neutral. He is only responsible for protecting the safety of Rose Star and will never favor any of the powerful families.

Pei Jun knew the old general's principles, of course, and would not violate them.

"What do you take me for? Of course I won't make you do something so difficult!"

"Actually, I was just a matchmaker. The person who really wants to see the old general is already in the reception room of the Academy of Sciences!" Pei Jun said.

The old general frowned. "The Academy of Sciences isn't a place anyone can just get into."

Even an old general must obtain Zhan Siyu's permission to enter.

After all, Zhan Siyu has the independent right to interpret the entire home project, and he has a unique iris key. Only when Zhan Siyu's iris scans the defense system can the door of the Academy of Sciences be opened.

Therefore, it goes without saying who was waiting for him in the conference room of the Academy of Sciences.

"Zhan Siyu has returned to the military base? How come I haven't received any news about him?" The old general was a little dissatisfied.

Although Zhan Siyu had the final say on all the equipment at the Academy of Sciences, the old general had no right to interfere, since they were only in a cooperative relationship. Moreover, the old general thought highly of Zhan Siyu and naturally treated him with special favors in terms of the technology he possessed.

However, the military base was still under his jurisdiction, and it was a bit much that Zhan Siyu returned to the military base without his permission without informing him.

Pei Jun explained directly, "General, please don't misunderstand. I brought them in. If anyone broke in illegally, it was definitely me who led the way!"

The old general was really angry, but he didn't expect Pei Jun to keep speaking up for Zhan Siyu.

"What exactly is your purpose, kid? You brought Zhan Siyu into the military base without reporting it, and you'll be punished for that, do you know that?"

The old general really couldn't understand how Pei Jun had become such good friends with Nangong Chen and Zhan Siyu.

Although he did think highly of Zhan Siyu, they were, after all, from the Blue Planet, and it was still unclear what their true intentions were towards the Rose Planet.

Pei Jun said, "Because this matter cannot be known to others, it concerns interstellar monsters, and it is of great importance, concerning the safety of the entire Rose Star!"

"That's why I secretly brought Zhan Siyu back to the military base, so that he could personally talk to the old general about this matter and make preparations for subsequent actions!"
