This news was reported by the official media of the United States.

When I saw this message, I was quite angry. What do you mean by "break up"?

I wasn't making a scene, I was just a little disappointed.

Besides, we didn't break up. I'm still the chief engineer of the military, and if there's a need in China, I'll go back to provide technical support.

I simply shifted my focus to Gam Island.

Just then, my phone rang; it was a very familiar number.

I remember now, it's Chief Ma from the Special Investigations Section. I hacked her phone.

"Hello?" I'll pretend I don't know this number.

"Engineer Zheng! Your case has been investigated and cleared up. There are no problems with your information. Someone poisoned the food in the research team's meals. They didn't have cancer."

I already knew all this; I'm the one who cured the members of the research team.

"And then? Who is the murderer?"

"We haven't found that yet."

Damn! Isn't this the same as not saying anything at all?

"So you call this a thorough investigation?" I felt like she was just using this as an excuse to call me.

"I just want to know, Engineer Zheng, if we solve the case and find the murderer on Gaim Island, will you come back?"

Why am I so annoying?

"Do you think I'd go back with all that stuff just for this one person?"

Hmm? When I was speaking just now, I felt like someone was talking next to Section Chief Ma.

"Section Chief Ma! Is there something you need that's making you so concerned about whether I'm going back or not?"

"Oh? It's nothing! I'll hang up now."

She hung up the phone, but I've hacked her phone, so I can still hear her voice.

"Dongyi! Is Zheng Yang that important to you?"

Dongyi? Mu Dongyi?

"Zheng Yang's skills are very good. If he can get the qualification to enter Zheng Garden, my position as the leader will be more secure."

Mu Dongyi is undoubtedly the one.

Section Chief Ma: "Now that he's gone abroad, what can we do? If we had known, we should have had your uncle step up the effort and get Zheng Yang to hand over Zheng Yuan."

The way I hear this, it seems that Mu Dongyi's uncle is the same Du Sifang that Fang Zhiyou mentioned to me.

"You think it's that easy? Almost everyone in the military is on his side. They react like they've been stepped on when Zheng Yuan is mentioned."

My uncle's position isn't secure yet, how could he possibly hold onto this matter?

That's exactly what Fang Zhiyou analyzed.

Section Chief Ma: "What should we do then? The old man hasn't made any progress lately, and there's been no breakthrough in your research on intercontinental ballistic missiles."

If Zheng Yang discovers anything else, we'll be in an even more passive position.

Mu Dongyi: "With Zheng Yang's fuel formula, I think I will make a breakthrough."

What? Section Chief Ma gave the formula to Mu Dongyi?

I feel like I can connect the dots now.

As the head of the Special Investigations Section, Section Chief Ma had someone poison the food of the research team in order to facilitate Mu Dongyi's intercontinental ballistic missile research.

Then, under the pretext of suspecting that there was a problem with my fuel formula, they intervened and investigated my formula.

After obtaining the fuel formula, clear my name and then hand the formula over to Mu Dongyi.

If handled properly, it might even allow me to release Zheng Yuan's information.

Although this is just my guess, it makes perfect sense no matter how I look at it.

I took out my phone and called Jiang Lan.

"Zheng Yang! You're so unfair! I came all the way to Langyu for you, and you just ran off without a word."

"I'm so sorry, Sister Jiang! It's all my fault. I'm leaving in such a sorry state. What? You want to see me off?"

There was a moment of silence on Jiang Lan's end: "Alright! I know you're upset about not becoming the leader, I forgive you."

"Speak! What do you want by calling me?"

"I'll send you an audio clip. Listen to it and then tell me your judgment."

After I finished speaking, I asked Jiang Lan for her email address and then sent her the audio.

After hearing this, Jiang Lan said, "You mean, someone deliberately poisoned the people at the research institute because of your fuel formula?"

"Yes! And these words were spoken by Chief Ma of the Special Investigations Division and Mu Dongyi."

"What? Section Chief Ma actually broke the law?"

At first, I thought it was a spy causing sabotage, so I focused all my attention on the outside and didn't expect that the investigators were the ones with problems.

Back then, when I picked up Section Chief Heima's phone, I just wanted to find out how they planned to treat me.

"Zheng Yang! Leave this case to me, I guarantee I'll investigate it thoroughly."

"But this doesn't involve espionage, so isn't your investigation overstepping your authority?"

"I'm investigating this as a spy case. How can you be so sure that Section Chief Ma isn't a spy?"

Um... I guess that's not wrong: "Then I'll trouble you."

"Once I find out, I'll come visit you during my vacation, and you'll have to treat me."

"No problem! You can eat whatever you want."

"You're not allowed to renege on your debt when the time comes."

Jiang Lan hung up the phone after she finished speaking. I shook my head. Am I the kind of person who would renege on a debt?

After several days of sailing, the cargo ship finally arrived at Gam Island.

It's also thanks to the early construction here, and the fact that the soldiers from Daxia gave us half of the Meijun base, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

The soldiers of Daxia were overjoyed to see us arrive.

Because all the people I brought were veterans.

They shared a common language and, being in different places, felt especially close.

The base's commander and the ship's captain have been pestering Peng Jun, who arrived early, for the past few days. While he is training the island's self-defense forces, he is also training the soldiers of their Great Xia.

After I arrived, I also incorporated some people from the factory's security department into the self-defense force.
