As the only Daoist in the 21st century to successfully build a foundation, Gu Zhilin never expected to contract a terminal illness.
To survive, he chose to join a cryonics experiment, expecti...
If Gu Zhilin had said something like that before, Li Sang might not have believed it.
But now, seeing Gu Zhilin's abilities, Li Sang has no choice but to believe that what Gu Zhilin said is true.
This man is really strong.
Even after sleeping for a thousand years, it is still very strong.
In the end, although Li Sang was extremely unwilling, he still took the initiative to confess the fact that he had colluded with the Martians.
As Li Sang himself said at the beginning, he only used the drug-making method provided by the Martians to consolidate his economic system.
Later, after the Gu Zhilin incident, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Lu Jin'an and the military's actions.
Despite being members of the same four major families, Lu Jin'an mistakenly believed that being a member of the military would give him the right to attack her.
This made him want to infiltrate the military and even destroy it.
Lu Jin'an showed no interest in Li Sang's inner thoughts, and simply asked coldly, "How do you communicate with Martians?"
"There is also an ancient person among the Martians, and that person has lived with the Martians for thousands of years. He can no longer be considered an Earthling, but he has always maintained the Earthling language. It's just that we only communicate through voice and have never met."
Lu Jin'an took a deep breath: "Just because of this, you want to destroy the Earth?"
Li Sang lowered his head and did not answer.
He didn't seem to understand why he would choose to betray Earth for this reason.
Gu Zhilin said calmly, "You were indeed tempted to some extent. The other party amplified the evil in your heart. But in the end, that malice was your own malice, so you can't be considered wronged."
Li Sang did not look up, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.
Upon seeing this, General Zhu indicated that he would take Li Sang directly to the military court.
Li Sang did not refuse. After all, now that the matter had been exposed, even if he was one of the four major families, he would be useless in the face of the crime of harming the Earth Alliance.
General Zhu finally used legitimate means to handcuff Li Sang.
"You two handle things at the academy. I'll take him to the military tribunal right away." General Zhu knew the situation was urgent.
Lu Jin'an asked with some concern, "General Zhu, what about Gu Zhilin's matter?"
Upon hearing this, General Zhu stopped and looked at Gu Zhilin.
After a long pause, he said, "I will keep his secret as appropriate."
After saying that, he looked at Li Sang again.
The meaning is very clear.
Seeing this, Li Sang originally wanted to provoke Lu Jin'an, but when her gaze met Gu Zhilin, she felt intimidated.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth in humiliation and say, "I know what I should and shouldn't say."
Having received the answer she wanted, Lu Jin'an finally felt relieved.
"Li Sang, hand over the list of your people who have infiltrated the faculty as soon as possible," Gu Zhilin said calmly.
Li Sang naturally had no objection to this; having been brought before a military court, what else could he not say?
After Zhu Jiangshuai left, Lu Jin'an and Gu Zhilin returned to the academy.
Jiang Jiyang was extremely busy and overwhelmed, and seeing the two of them arrive was like seeing saviors.
"You've finally arrived." Jiang Jiyang took a sip of the nutritional supplement, which saved his life.
"Why are you so disheveled? It's just a selection process. And you're managing the academy, how could you be this exhausted?" Lu Jin'an was very disgusted to see her friend like this.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Jiyang glared at him fiercely upon hearing this: "You think it's just about the selection process?"
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't know which bastard leaked the news that there were people in the cafeteria, that someone dug a basement in the dormitory, and that there was a skeleton in the basement. Now the entire combat academy is in a state of panic."
"The trainees treated the military personnel like saviors, chasing after them and asking questions. They couldn't be driven away, so the selection process was forced to stop. Many trainees are demanding an explanation from the school."
"The information was leaked?" Lu Jin'an frowned upon hearing this. "What did the dean say?"
"The old dean is also puzzled. He assured that he had done a good job of keeping it confidential, but he doesn't know why the news was leaked. He's in a real bind right now." Jiang Jiyang took another sip of nutrient solution.
“Ding Lian,” Gu Zhilin suddenly said.
"You mean Ding Lian leaked the information before he died?" Lu Jin'an asked, frowning.
"It must have been Ding Lianyong's death that served as a warning to his comrades, which is why they leaked the information after realizing something was wrong," Gu Zhilin analyzed.
"It seems to be an oversight on our part." Jiang Jiyang sighed upon hearing this. "What should we do now?"
“Wait,” Lu Jin’an said coldly.
"Wait? Wait for what? Just let those students make such a mess?" Jiang Jiyang stared wide-eyed at Lu Jin'an in disbelief.
Lu Jin'an snorted coldly: "You become so flustered when something happens? Is this the basic quality of a soldier? Is this what the combat academy teaches its students?"
"Have Dean Lin take control of the trainees as soon as possible. Once Li Sang provides the list, we will arrest people directly according to the list. The selection will proceed as scheduled. We can then directly explain the reason for the incident. These hotheads who have never seen the cruelty of war must see the truth of the matter."
"Reveal the truth?" Jiang Jiyang was even more shocked, and the next second he said, "Li Sang gave up the list? You arrested Li Sang? How did you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an looked at Gu Zhilin, who was standing to the side.
Jiang Jiyang followed his gaze and looked at Gu Zhilin, instantly realizing that it was all thanks to Gu Zhilin.
"It has to be our little Gu." Jiang Jiyang didn't ask about what happened, but he was very happy that Li Sang had been arrested.
However, he quickly became worried again: "If the Li family falls, the Earth Alliance's economy and medical development will probably... a lot of our military's medicines still rely on the Li family's pharmaceutical companies."
Lu Jin'an wasn't worried about this: "If the Li family falls, someone else will take over. Do you think the Shen family won't be envious? Shen Guannan isn't in the military or politics, so isn't this perfect for him to go into business?"
Jiang Jiyang was still a little worried when he thought of Shen Guannan's unreliable behavior.
But now is not the time to consider these things.
Just then, Gu Zhilin received a message from Wen Yili.
"Wen Yili wants to see me. Can I go see him now?" Gu Zhilin suddenly asked.
Upon hearing Wen Yili's name, Lu Jin'an instinctively felt unwilling.
But knowing that this was wrong, she could only stare at Gu Zhilin for a while before saying indifferently, "Come back as soon as possible."
Gu Zhilin was somewhat surprised, because normally, even if this person agreed to meet with Wen Yili, he would ask Gu Zhilin to come along.
This time, they actually agreed to meet me alone.
He carefully observed Lu Jin'an's expression, and only after confirming that although she was unwilling, she was not really angry did he say, "I will come back as soon as possible."
Then he left the office.
Only after leaving did I realize that I had subconsciously felt that Lu Jin'an should be jealous and should follow me.
This... is not a good sign!
