West Fort, next to the embassy, ​​the Sunken Mansion.

Wang Fang and Tong Yun were led into the room, which was covered with a gray carpet. There was a desk by the window, and bookshelves that reached the ceiling on both sides. A wisp of incense slowly wafted up, making people feel calm. In the central hall, there was a sofa for guests and a coffee table with clear wine on it.

Two middle-aged men sat facing each other. One was Shen Xihai, who had changed into a black robe, revealing his delicate face. He looked very young, only about 30 years old, with deep eyes. Wang Fang also recognized the other man, Meng Jingyuan from Shabao. Behind him stood a young man, who should be Wu Yuchuan, Zheng Yuanlao's chief secretary.

Wang Fang remembered that he was a psionicist.

"Come in and talk."

"yes."

Wang Fang led Tong Yun to stand before the two high-ranking officials and bowed in unison.

Meng Jingyuan laughed and said, "Is your radio station also broken down?"

Wang Fang said coldly, "Chen Fusheng is listening in at all times, so the master had no choice but to send us here in person to testify."

Meng Jingyuan said, "When you go to see Lord Yuan tomorrow, you should know what to say. This is an opportunity for you, so make the most of it."

Wang Fang nodded.

He knew that he would be going to Wall Number One the next day to see Yuan Lin.

Shen Xihai and Meng Jingyuan only knew that the Sandcastle coup was caused by a superhuman, and even Wu Yuchuan did not witness it. He was out when it happened, but Wang Fang and others witnessed it. Yuan Lin needed witnesses to convince the First Wall to send people to Sandcastle to investigate.

Without evidence, No. 1 Wall will not blindly believe rumors.

Therefore, Wang Fang is very important, and he himself is well aware of this.

"You will stay in my residence until tomorrow, where you will be protected."

Wang Fang didn't speak, but Tong Yun, who was beside him, glanced at him with a complicated expression.

Meng Jingyuan laughed and said, "The radicals also have connections in Xibao. They might not necessarily not want to kill you. What did Elder Jiang say?"

Wang Fang said, "Elder Jiang didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingyuan and Shen Xihai exchanged a glance, and they almost understood Jiang Tianfeng's intention.

"Go downstairs and don't wander around. Your life is very important right now, understand?"

"clear!"

After Wang Fang left, Meng Jingyuan looked at Shen Xihai and smiled, "Old Ghost Chen wants to make his move after this is all over."

Shen Xihai said, "It's very likely. I've known him for many years. Chen Fusheng is someone who is unwilling to be subordinate to others, even if he is a superhuman."

Meng Jingyuan: "But in Sand Castle, their cooperation went very smoothly..."

"It's just a matter of each getting what they need. That extraordinary being won't kill people indiscriminately. He knows about the Number One Wall and also knows the importance of Lord Yuan. We will never give up on the grain, but it's not that we can't cooperate."

Seeing Meng Jingyuan's confident demeanor, Shen Xihai narrowed his eyes and asked, "Mr. Meng, does Lord Yuan have some instructions?"

Meng Jingyuan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, my lord hopes to cooperate with the extraordinary, but Lord Yuan always considers the big picture when he does things. I can give you candy, but I can't leave out the sticks."

"Does Lord Yuan intend to launch a military campaign against Shabao?"

Meng Jingyuan smiled and said, "I don't know about that."

Shen Xihai gave an awkward smile, but his mind was lost in thought.

Could it be that Yuan Lin now holds such a high position in Lingbi City?

Can they still command troops?

Shen Xihai has been staying in Xibao for a long time and knows some inside information. Yuan Lin is working on getting a high-ranking official position in Lingbi City. Previously, it was just a sinecure because he is a grain tycoon and has a huge interest group behind him. Even Lingbi City has to give him face.

I don't know what new agreements these people have come up with recently, but there seems to be a group of people helping Yuan Lin secure a position of real power.

If this is true, Xibao's influence in the No. 1 wall will be significantly enhanced, it will be able to obtain more policy support, and it may even be able to be the first to sense the new policy trends.

The two chatted casually for a while, then Meng Jingyuan made an excuse to leave.

Wu Yuchuan, who was walking behind him, whispered, "Master, he was lying just now."

"You mean he sank into the Western Sea?"

"No, Wang Fang."

Meng Jingyuan frowned and asked, "Which statement is a lie?"

Wu Yuchuan: "If you ask him whether Jiang Tianfeng had given him any instructions before he set off, and he says no, then that's a lie."

Meng Jingyuan smiled and said, "I understand."

...

Wang Fang returned to his room, and Tong Yun glanced at the scenery outside the window and sighed, "What a magnificent city it is."

“This fortress has existed for much longer than our sandcastle,” Wang Fang said with a smile.

“No, look at that.” Tong Yun pointed to a more distant place, where a magnificent city wall stood, hidden in the sand and wind, towering into the clouds, a sight to behold.

"Wall Number One?"

“We can go in tomorrow, aren’t you interested?” Tong Yun said with a smile.

Wang Fang shook his head: "I only feel uneasy."

"Why?"

“Ever since we entered Westburg, a storm has been brewing, and you and I are right here in the eye of the storm. Do you know how many eyes are watching us? Perhaps neither of us will live to see tomorrow.”

"Impossible!" Tong Yun frowned and said, "Didn't Elder Jiang make it very clear? Chen Fusheng wouldn't lay a hand on us."

Wang Fang gritted his teeth and said, "I know, but I'm still very uneasy. After all these years, don't you understand me? My intuition is still very accurate."

“You mean…” Tong Yun’s expression turned serious.

Wang Fang said, "What if Chen Fusheng's cooperation isn't fake, but genuine?"

"Old Chen? No way. With his personality, he would never be willing to kneel under the command of a superhuman. How old is Qin Che? He's not even 20 years old yet." Tong Yun sneered.

You're wrong.

Wang Fang looked at the majestic city wall in the distance and said, "Many people are wrong. They analyze Chen Laogui based on his personality, but their starting point is wrong. Chen Laogui is fickle. He always does things that go against everyone's thinking. This person is not simple... Have you forgotten what he was like more than 20 years ago?"

Tong Yun smiled and said, "Sir, we were still young back then."

Wang Fang suddenly sighed, then patted Tong Yun on the shoulder with a smile: "I hope I'm just overthinking it. Remember to tell the brothers to get ready and go visit Wall Number One tomorrow!"

"Hahaha, great!"

...

The western boundary is the Yangtze River Highway.

A straight road leads to the main gate of the city, which stands in the desert and is backed by a giant wall.

Loud rock music was blaring in the car, the drums and bass were deafening. Qin Che, wearing sunglasses, pointed at the city wall and asked, "How did they build this thing?"

Lina, who was driving, shook her head and said, "It seems to have been there from the beginning."

Qin Che stared at the colossal wall that was impossible to build with current productivity and couldn't help but fall into thought. Damn it, are the carbon-based humans on this wasteland really Earthlings?
