Director Liu was somewhat displeased and was about to use this opportunity to make things difficult for the other guests when he heard Ji Qian's cold, questioning voice in his ear:

"Excuse me, I didn't quite understand. Could you please tell me the specific benefits of this collaboration?"

Director Liu was momentarily speechless at Ji Qian's overly direct question, and it took him a long time to regain his voice:

“Good question, Professor Ji! As originally planned, the British government will send a professional security team up the mountain to protect our personal safety during the recording process.”

"The original plan?" Although Mi Yesi still didn't quite understand, she grasped the most important loophole in Director Liu's words.

"Director Liu just said the mountain road collapsed, right? Is the security team unable to get up here?"

Han Mengyao's tone was clearly a question, but it sounded like she was stating a fact.

"So, the good news was offset by the bad news?!" Ying Xu had thought the truth might be outrageous, but he didn't expect it to be this outrageous.

"That's not all, Director Liu, are you not finished with your bad news yet?"

Ji Qian had been observing Director Liu's complexion. Although it wasn't looking good, it still had a healthy glow, which was unusual for Director Liu.

As expected, after Ji Qian voiced her doubts, Director Liu's face visibly darkened.

"Sigh, I knew I couldn't hide it after all."

Director Liu recalled what he had seen in the documents and felt immense regret. He should have just gone on vacation instead of traveling thousands of miles abroad to his death.

"I just received a more detailed historical document about the castle. Please pass it around among yourselves, teachers."

After saying that, Director Liu sent a file to everyone's recording phone, and then turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Ji Qian felt that Director Liu's back looked much more hunched than at the beginning.

"Huh? How could this happen!"

Before she could think further, Ji Qian's attention was instantly drawn by Mi Yesi's exclamation from behind.
