Yang Jia now felt like a person standing at the foot of a mountain and looking up at the mountain. The feeling of self-insignificance in comparison was so profound that it was not until a long time later, when he finally climbed to the top of the mountain after hard work and stood there looking down, that he still felt a bit of disbelief.

That self-doubt of “did I really make it to the top of the mountain?”

Perhaps it was because Li Fang had brought enormous pressure to her and Li Bai from the very beginning, so that even though they had clearly forced him into a corner, Yang Jia still felt a little uneasy for some reason, as if things shouldn't be like this.

But she couldn't say what it should look like.

After all, she should have firmly believed that Li Bai could win this war. In that case, this result was only natural.

But pressure is meant to be overcome. After a brief hesitation, Yang Jia immediately began reading the data from Li Fang's personal terminal. Since it had come to this point, retreating was impossible. So, let's move forward. No matter how powerful Li Fang was, he was only human, wasn't he?

Although Li Fang's personal terminal was heavily protected, the content inside was not very large. This was not only because the data a personal terminal could carry was indeed very small compared to Yang Jia's system, but even in a general sense, Li Fang's personal terminal was much cleaner than that of an ordinary person.

So Yang Jia read all the data in almost an instant and then analyzed it.

After seeing the content, she was stunned.

"Li Bai!" After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Jia came to her senses and immediately called Li Bai's number, but for some reason, the call remained unanswered. She thought for a moment, then encrypted the message she had just received and sent it to Li Bai.

Logically, this should be enough. After all, even if Yang Jia was temporarily unavailable, she would still see her Liu An later and learn everything. But Yang Jia felt uneasy. She walked around the room in vain for a few times. Before she could help but run to find Li Bai, she first logged into the surveillance system to check on Li Bai's current situation.

But she didn't see Li Bai in the surveillance video.

Rewind the data.

A few minutes ago, just as she was hesitating whether to start reading the data, Li Bai entered Li Fang's office.

Li Fang's office was equally heavily protected. But Yang Jia was most frustrated by the signal blocking and jamming devices, which made it impossible for her to know what was actually happening in the room. This was the biggest weakness of electronic equipment. Without the internet, she was completely useless.

Li Bai had actually already gone to see Li Fang, so even if I followed her now, it would be useless. It was impossible to reveal this news to her in advance.

But Yang Jia still went out.

Whether it was useful or not was one thing, but whether or not to do it was another. Although she had decided to retreat behind the scenes and become a support staff, she was still an evolutionary person after all, and she also owned one of the only two mechas on Earth. It was no problem for her to play a cameo role and deal violent damage when needed.

Of course, Yang Jia didn’t bring his mecha at this time.

If Li Fang wanted to harm Li Bai, he could have done so eight hundred years ago. Although Yang Jia didn't understand what he was trying to do, he thought Li Bai's personal safety was still guaranteed.

In fact, the situation in the room was similar to what Yang Jia had imagined.

A few minutes ago, when Li Bai walked into the office, Li Fang seemed to have anticipated this scene. He naturally put down the pen in his hand and looked at Li Bai, "You're here."

His expression, tone, demeanor and even movements were all very calm, as if he was greeting an ordinary subordinate, rather than an enemy who had trapped him here.

Even without receiving the tip-off from Yang Jia, Li Bai had noticed something was wrong.

She immediately tried to send a message without leaving any trace, but it failed. Li Fang watched her movements without any reaction, as if waiting for her reaction after the failure.

"You are waiting for me." Li Bai did not comment on the signal problem, but spoke directly and said with certainty.

Li Fang smiled, "By now, it should be obvious."

"It seems that you are not worried about the current situation." Li Bai said.

"Why should I worry?" Li Fang leaned back in his chair and looked at Li Bai with a relaxed expression. "Except for me, you will accept and recruit everyone outside as long as they surrender, right?"

Li Bai's pupils shrank slightly, and he heard Li Fang continue, "The internal cleansing and attrition have been completed. After the baptism of this war, those who can remain are all elite. I don't think you would be willing to continue to suffer losses. Besides, these people outside are originally loyal to the Li family. As for whether it is you or me who represents the Li family, it doesn't make much difference."

At this moment, the shock Li Bai felt was no less than that of Yang Jia just now.

She finally couldn't maintain her composure anymore and even took a step back subconsciously.

"It seems you have thought of it." Li Fang said with a smile.

Li Bai felt her mouth was extremely dry, but she still had to speak, "All of this... was within your expectations, or even arranged by you?"

After hearing Li Fang's words, Yang Jia finally understood his purpose and realized that everything he and Yang Jia had experienced was under Li Fang's control. Perhaps not everything was arranged by him, but at the critical moment, he must have done something to push things in the direction he wanted to see.

He even knew from the beginning that she and Yang Jia had the ambition to overthrow him, but he did nothing. He just watched and waited quietly until this day.

——He didn't even care about their plans, because everything was still under his control.

"You're not hopelessly stupid." Li Fang narrowed his eyes and smiled happily, "Yes, everything is still under control."

"You..." Li Bai didn't even know what she should say at this moment. She paused and asked, "What do you want?" What's the point of indulging in all the actions of Li Bai and Yang Jia and letting them overthrow him?

And what kind of trump card does he have behind his current leisurely attitude?

"I just wanted to see how far you could go," Li Fang said. "I've been waiting for you to come here, and you didn't disappoint me."

Yang Jia looked at him with some suspicion. It was hardly her fault; the explanation was simply too absurd and difficult to explain. Putting himself in danger just to see the outcome? At least Li Bai didn't think he was that kind of person. There had to be some hidden agenda behind this.

"It seems that you don't believe it." Li Fang shook his head and looked at Li Bai with some disappointment. "Perhaps I should tell you that Zheng Yizhao just left this room before you came."

Li Bai's expression changed slightly, and he looked up at Li Fang.

Li Fang nodded, seemingly pleased by her reaction, and said, "Now you should understand, right? What you are doing is actually what I want to do. I'm just using your help. This Earth is completely rotten and lifeless. If we just move everyone to Hope, it will just become a second Earth. But now it's different - is that what you think?"

Li Bai finally believed his words. She took a deep breath and finally couldn't help asking, "What is going on? What is your purpose?"

"It's a long story to explain this clearly." Li Fang thought for a moment, then sat up straight. "But I can make it short. To put it simply, one day a long time ago, I discovered your mother's existence, and we decided to have a child together. I entrusted our future to her, and let her fulfill our unfinished dreams."

Li Bai discovered that when Li Fang said this, a gentle expression actually appeared on his face.

In her and Yang Jia's analysis, they always felt that Li Fang was just using Yu Jie, or perhaps Yu Jie was also using Li Fang. One of them wanted to preserve the child's evolutionary ability, and the other hoped that his experiment would be supported, so the two hit it off.

It probably has nothing to do with feelings anyway.

But now, she suddenly felt a little uncertain.

But this also didn't affect Li Bai's opinion of him. If there was love between them, and he was willing to sacrifice even his beloved, then Li Fang would be even more terrifying. She stared at him, "You lunatic."

"Yes, I'm a madman." Li Fang smiled indifferently, "And you are the daughter of this madman. You will inherit everything from me and follow the path I have arranged for you, right?"

"I can't." Li Bai answered immediately.

"No, you will." Li Fang looked at her, his eyes finally showing a bit of madness, but his tone of voice was very calm.

The strongest impression he left on Li Bai today was one of calmness. Because everything was arranged by him, everything was under his control, so there was no need to be crazy or hysterical, just to wait and face it calmly.

Perhaps because Li Fang's tone was so certain, Li Bai suddenly felt uneasy. She frowned and denied it again, "Maybe many things in the past were arranged by you, but not in the future. I am different from you."

"Of course you're different from me." Li Fang looked at Li Bai with a smile, his eyes surging with unknown emotions, "Because you... are my most perfect work..."
