"Jiaojiao, what is this thing? We even had to use our special weapon after we came in? How big must it be?"

Zhang Haiyang jogged up to Chu Jiaojiao, who was walking ahead, and asked her.

"He's a big guy that even my sister almost couldn't handle."

"What?"

These two words have only made everyone more curious.

"Stop arguing and hurry up and clean up. We can't stay here too long. I'll explain in detail when we get back."

Chu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at the group of curious guys.

Fortunately, it was An'an who dealt with it. If her whole team had come, they would probably have been sent to their deaths. With that kind of fighting strength, she wasn't confident that she could get the better of the big guy, let alone escape unscathed.

Just as the team began cleaning each laboratory, leaving no stone unturned.

Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci found a room that looked like an office.

Chu Xingyue sat in one of the seats, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she cracked the computer's password.

Soon, all the computers in the office lit up, and lines of code began to jump rapidly across them.

Chu Xingyue copied all the data from the computers to a specially made super hard drive.

Gu Yanci crossed his arms and watched Chu Xingyue intently working at the computer.

His wife was absolutely gorgeous.

Current technology, equipment, research scope, and capabilities are insufficient to study these things; keeping them around would only harm people.

Without any hesitation, Chu Xingyue destroyed all the computers in the entire research institute.

After finishing all this, Chu Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Gu Yanci, who was standing at the door, with a slight smile.

"Aci, let's go back."

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked out side by side.

"Boss, I've checked everything and resolved everything."

"Boss, I've taken care of things on my end too."

"And here I am too."

One report after another reached Chu Xingyue's ears.

The team members gradually withdrew, with Chu Xingyue at the back. Before leaving, she paused, looked back at the research institute that had stood for who knows how many years, a place that held countless acts of cruelty and evil.

There's no information about her adoptive father here. She doesn't know where he is now, and she doesn't know how disappointed her mother, Chu Ning, would be if she knew there was no news about him here.

What should be done with these people?

Returning to the nuclear research institute where they had first entered, Xia Yiyang pointed to the researchers gathered together, their eyes showing a hint of confusion.

“Uncle, these researchers might need you to make arrangements for them,” Chu Xingyue said, turning to Rossi who was walking beside her.

"Yue, I'll take care of these people. Don't worry, I'll make sure they're settled." Rossi looked at the face that resembled Chu's and didn't seem reluctant at all. She felt that this was something she should do for Chu.

"Thank you!" Chu Xingyue no longer needed to worry about these things; they should go home now.

Behind the group, a raging fire erupted in the dimly lit research institute, the flames reflected in the rearview mirrors seeming to burn all these evil deeds to ashes.

This place was already remote, and by the time it was discovered, it would probably have been burned to the ground.

The car sped along the highway, and everyone knew that their time to go home was drawing ever closer.

In the castle

Chu Xingyue looked at the group of people standing in front of her, some young, some middle-aged, and some in their forties.

"I would like to borrow a line from a great poet of ancient times: Those who achieve great things in ancient times not only possessed extraordinary talent, but also unwavering perseverance. On a long road, we must walk it step by step. The fastest and surest way to conquer fear and build a career is to do what you are afraid of until you gain experience of success."

Chu Xingyue paused.

"None of us are fighting alone. We are a team, and we must unite. Only when we unite can our combined strength be the greatest."

"Your motherland is your strongest support. Your family, loved ones, and friends are on the other side of the world, thinking of you and missing you. May we all be well!"

Clap clap rang out, and the feeling of homesickness reached its peak at that moment, with some cheeks streaked with tears.

Before leaving, Chu Xingyue upgraded the defenses of Gu Yanci's castle, leaving a strong impression on the researchers on both sides.

The team members boarded a plane back home.

The mission was completed perfectly, the only downside being that we didn't get any news about my cheapskate father.

Hopefully, her cheapskate father is still alive.

Kyoto Airport

Chu Xingyue and her group, dressed in casual clothes, strode out of the plane. Their figures, numbering around ten, attracted a lot of attention as soon as they stepped off the plane.

Everyone was speculating about the group's identities. Some sharp-eyed people could immediately tell from their walking manner and upright posture that, combined with their age, they were definitely professional soldiers.

Those who realized his identity immediately felt a chill; this was not someone to be trifled with.

Some girls just thought the men were really handsome. The young girl leading the group turned her head and listened patiently to what the slightly petite girl next to her was saying.

Is this a team of models? Their figures and faces are perfectly matched; they're so handsome.

They were all lost in their fantasies, and some couldn't resist taking out their phones to secretly pretend to take selfies.

The group, dressed in casual clothes, did not stop the lovely girls even though they knew someone was taking pictures.

Chu Xingyue and the others followed the crowd ahead to collect their luggage, and everything went smoothly.

"Open your luggage." For some unknown reason, the customs officers asked Chu Xingyue to open her luggage.

Everyone in the team stopped in their tracks.

Chu Xingyue cooperated and opened her luggage bag, which contained only a few changes of clothes. In a hidden pocket inside, there was something that looked like a power bank.

Chu Xingyue opened it and handed it to the man in uniform.

"What is this?" The man looked at the object with some curiosity, but he didn't touch it. He simply asked Chu Xingyue what it was.

The word "confidential" from Chu Xingyue immediately surprised the man waiting for an answer.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, you're back from abroad!" Sheng Yong, the highest-ranking officer at the airport, strode over.

"Commander Sheng, hello!"

Sheng Yong saluted Gu Yanci and the others. To outsiders, it would seem that the lieutenant general was saluting the men behind him, but only they knew that Sheng Yong was actually saluting Chu Xingyue.

Sheng Yong had been waiting for Chu Xingyue and the others, but they were still too late, almost causing this little rascal to be investigated.

"This is the exemption certificate issued by the higher authorities."

Sheng Yong took out the certificate he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed it to the man on duty at customs.

The man knew from the moment the leader arrived that this was no longer something he could ask, so he discreetly accepted the certificate, kept it safe, and let the leader pass.

"Would you like to come over to my place for some tea and a rest?" Sheng Yong said to Chu Xingyue with a grin, like a Maitreya Buddha.

"No, we have to go back." Chu Xingyue smiled at Sheng Yong and declined.

"It's alright, it's alright. We can have tea together again next time." Sheng Yong was a shrewd person. Most of the pilots here were his men, so he had a lot of free time and nothing to worry about. But that didn't mean he was clueless.

The young master's rise in the past two years has been too fast, and everyone in the group knows about it. At first, there were some rumors, but they were quickly suppressed. Several of the most vocal people were taken away. At that time, people were a little panicked. They all had opinions but dared not, for fear of being implicated.

Those who were taken away all returned unharmed, and they stopped anyone who dared to gossip from doing so.

Chu Xingyue attended several military merit commendation ceremonies later on. Her first-class merit alone was something that many people could only dream of. Everyone knew that she was a super strong person with all-round development.

Now no one said anything behind their backs anymore. They were all afraid of tough, unyielding men who would bleed but not shed tears. Whatever they said, they believed that each of them earned their promotions through military merit. The fact that a little girl had been promoted so quickly made them somewhat resentful.

All I know is that the soldiers who were reporting their military achievements on the platform spent over an hour doing so. What a terrifying event, what a terrifying military achievement! It not only won over those who initially had reservations, but even those who had no reservations were filled with admiration.

Chu Xingyue had a good impression of Sheng Yong and regarded him as an elder. After all, Sheng Yong, his elder brother Gu Yanting, and his uncle Xia Lin were soldiers in the same year, and the three of them had interacted a lot before.
