Yu Wu glanced at the people present, strode to the table, and picked up a piece of paper.

Pass it to M Xia. .

The atmosphere of the originally arrogant meeting vote suddenly became subdued due to the appearance of this woman.

M Xia didn't need to do anything, she was walking on the edge of a knife. In the past, those who fought with her were all people like Mask. Their aura and pattern were different from those of Jia Lao Baili Ze and others.

Everyone subconsciously dared not speak.

Not many people present had seen Yu Wen and Yu Wu.

The Military Association is an extremely mysterious existence in the capital, including several families here.

Especially the chairman of the Military Association, who is a legendary figure in their eyes. Most people think that the chairman of the Military Association is not in the capital at all, and lives in the Federation all year round.

They even rarely saw Yu Wen and Yu Wu, and only when voting on important decisions did they dare to ask Yu Wen for instructions.

Mr. Jia has met the two vice-chairmen of the Military Association.

...

...

When Mr. Jia heard Yu Wen and Yu Wu calling him president, he had no idea.

"You, you are a soldier..." Old Jia finally reacted. He looked at the woman sitting in the middle with obvious fear in his eyes, and the voice he squeezed out of his throat was trembling.

Following Mr. Jia's voice, everyone present reacted.

Elder Feng had never actually met Yu Wen, but when they heard Yu Wen call M President Xia, they were well aware of it.

There are only four associations in the entire capital, and he is familiar with the presidents of the Instruments Association, the Fragrance Association, and the Painting Association.

Suddenly, a strange president appeared, and she was a female president. Who else could it be besides the one from the Military Association? !

They already knew that the president of the Military Association was the third-most terrifying mercenary on Skynet's ranking list, and she was also a woman. They just didn't expect that M Xia's voice sounded so young!

"President Xia," Jia Lao quickly stood up and explained to M Xia, "We didn't dare to disturb your association for such a small matter, so we didn't send anyone to notify you."

He was the first to explain to M Xia what M Xia had asked him before.

Mr. Jia was not talking nonsense, because the Military Association never played with people from the capital, nor did it care about the struggles between the seven major families and the three major associations.

The Military Association is an independent entity.

So no one dared to go to the Military Association for this matter.

Originally, everyone present was guessing who this woman was. After hearing what Mr. Jia said, they all stood up in horror and greeted M Xia one by one.

Ma Cen spoke first. She suppressed her shock and did not dare to look at M Xia any more. "I did not expect President Xia to come. We are rude for not welcoming him."

"I came here uninvited." M Xia glanced at Ma Cen and seemed to smile.

The conversation between Ma Cen and M Xia made everyone present look at each other.

According to Ma Cen, the Su family should have nothing to do with M Xia.

Then how did she show up?

Opposite Ma Cen, Bai Li Ze, who was too handsome, stood up after hearing what Ma Cen said. He looked at M Xia calmly, and said in a deep and polite voice, with some inquiry, "I have heard of President Xia's name a long time ago. Seeing is believing."

M Xia is indeed very powerful.

The Feng family has become quite famous in the capital recently. He stood up and greeted M Xia before asking, "Why did President Xia come here suddenly?"

This question was not only of curiosity to Elder Feng, but also to Elder Jia, Baili Ze and others as they all understood why M Xia appeared here. The Military Association had nothing to do with any family, including the Su family.

"Come here suddenly?" M Xia stretched out her hand and unfolded the white paper. She deliberately lowered her voice, which was a little cold.

Because she was wearing a silver mask, she looked even more mysterious.

"It's not like I came here suddenly," M Xia casually played with the white paper, looked up at Mr. Jia, and said slowly: "I just came to see who it is--"

"I want to change the chief law enforcement officer of the base!"

When Xia said this, Jia Lao was also shocked, "President Xia, Su Cheng..."

"Is it you?" M Xia suppressed his smile.

Mr. Jia felt a lump in his throat.

He never thought that M Xia came to speak for the Su family. What is her relationship with the Su family? !

"The change today is not the chief law enforcement officer." M Xia took a pen and casually wrote a vote on a piece of white paper before speaking.

Not only Baili Ze and Ren Heng, but even Ma Cen dared not participate in her conversation with Mr. Jia.

Especially Elder Baili Ze, Ren Heng and Feng, when they heard what M Xiali said, they felt that M Xia seemed to be targeting Elder Jia.

The others did not answer.

Jia Lao gritted his teeth and said, "Then what President Xia means is..."

M Xia did not reply to Mr. Jia, but handed the written paper to Yu Wu, who put the paper back on the long table.

It was a secret ballot, but Yu Wu didn't even fold the paper, so everyone could see it. M Xia picked up a piece of white paper and saw some elegant handwriting on it -

"no!"

After casting his vote, M Xia stood up with the help of the handrail, put one hand behind his back, and walked straight out the door.

At the scene, no one dared to speak.

Only when they were at the gate did M Xia slightly turn sideways and glance at Jia Lao, with a cold and indifferent tone, "I think the person who should be replaced should be the president of the Instrument Association."

In the backlight, the silver mask reflected cold light.

Jia Lao took a breath of cold air.

M Xia knows about Xiao Ji!

M Xia left, but Yu Wen stayed.

He was not as cold as Yu Wu. He just smiled at the people present and said in a very elegant manner: "Mr. Jia, aren't you going to vote? You can start now."

Cold sweat ran down Jia's forehead.

Baili Ze retracted his gaze, looked at Jia Lao, and smiled, "Yes, it's time to vote."

In a secret ballot, he casually wrote "no" on the paper.

I didn't fold it up and just put it next to M Xia.

Everyone present here is a person who changes his attitude according to the situation.

vote?

There's no need to vote, the result is already decided.

After Baili Ze finished writing, everyone else quickly wrote the word "no" on the paper.

After the vote, Baili Ze stood up and said goodbye to Ma Cen, "Madam, I'm sorry for disturbing you today."

Ma Cen hadn't reacted yet. She shook her head and asked the Second Elder and others to send Baili Ze and the others out.

"Mom, what just happened was really..." Su Xian sent Baili Ze and the others out, and watched the last car leave. She was still a little overwhelmed.

Ma Cen responded, "It's her."

Apart from her, there is no other woman in the entire capital who can make the major families lose face.

Su Xian's reaction was not here. She only murmured, "Her voice sounds so young, and her skin is young too. She feels like she is similar to me."

"Yeah." Ma Cen nodded.

She walked towards the detention room.

Su Xian was with her, still thinking about M Xia. Suddenly she thought of the rumors in the circle. She looked at Ma Cen and said quietly, "Mom, she is the most terrifying woman in the whole capital, right?"

Ma Cen, who was thinking about Su Cheng, said: "..."

It seems to be true.

But M Xia had not shown up before, no one knew she was so young, and no one knew she was actually in the capital.

In short, after today, people from all the major families will probably have to refresh their perception of M Xia.

"She is indeed a woman who has been put on the map," Su Xian couldn't help but sigh, "It's not easy for her to be able to rule the capital."

"She is indeed powerful, but the person behind her is even more powerful." Ma Cen nodded, and also remembered the rumors about M Xia.

Su Xian nodded. She had been in the Federation before and had heard more rumors about M Xia than Ma Cen.

Ma Cen went to the confinement room to find Su Cheng and wanted to have a good talk with him.

However, Su Cheng just knelt in front of the tablet with his eyes closed and did not speak to her.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it," Ma Cen looked at Su Cheng's somewhat cold back, "The president of the Military Association is here, and she voted for you. Congratulations, you haven't been voted out by others because of this matter."

Su Cheng's eyelashes trembled, and finally he opened his eyes. He tilted his head to look at Ma Cen, "Military Association?"

"Well," Ma Cen said, putting his hands in his sleeves, "Do you have any dealings with the people from the Military Association?"

"No." Su Cheng withdrew his gaze again and continued to kneel coldly.

Ma Cen looked at the back of his head for a long while, and remembered what Su Cheng had said to her before -

"You don't really think I rely on this position?"

Ma Cen knew Su Cheng very well. He must not have said this casually. However, Ma Cen racked his brains but could not figure out what Su Cheng meant behind it. Apart from the law enforcement base, it seemed that the only thing the Su family could show off was the federal government.

Since he couldn’t think of it, Ma Cen stopped thinking about it.

Su Cheng really committed a big mistake this time.

No matter what happens to Xiao Ji, the Instrument Association will punish him. Of course, Mr. Jia will definitely protect Xiao Ji, so Xiao Ji will most likely be fine.

so--

Is this the reason why Su Cheng went to beat Xiao Ji?

But what exactly happened to Xiao Ji?

Ma Cen closed the door of the confinement room and asked the second elder to come over, "Go and check on Xiao Ji's matter."

Most of the top executives of the Equipment Association knew about the affairs of the 366 people, but this was their internal matter, and other families would not interfere. Ma Cen had been busy with Su Cheng's affairs last night, and only now had time to ask someone to investigate.

**

Research Institute, underground interrogation room.

Dean Li had not eaten or drunk anything for the whole day, but the water and food brought to him were in good condition.

He sat in a chair and reviewed his life.

He was in charge of the "Space Factory" project, and he trusted President Xiao from beginning to end. Even when Meng Fu raised the algorithm problem, he still believed in President Xiao.

President Xiao values ​​talents and is fair and just. Dean Li thinks he is a good president who does good things for the people, so he spares no effort in the project.

But now, because of his trust, 366 people died in vain.

366 people, put on paper, are just three cold and shallow words.

Even in the entire history of the Instrument Association, it is not worth mentioning.

Dean Li has never done anything to let anyone down in his life.

Now the deaths of these people weigh heavily on his shoulders.

The light in his eyes went out.

Perhaps as his wife said, he is not suitable for this position at all. He should leave the graduate school and go to the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, take a few students, teach them, and train more talents for the country.

at the same time.

At the Traditional Chinese Medicine base, Mr. Jia found Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji was lying on the bed at this time, his limbs were in plaster, he couldn't move his whole body, only his mouth could speak.

Old Jia stood in front of the bed and looked down at Xiao Ji.

He was the one who helped Xiao Ji up.

In fact, among the several presidents of the Equipment Association, Baili Ze, who is less than 30 years old, is the most capable. But he is too outstanding. Mr. Jia knows that he cannot control Baili Ze, so he pushes Xiao Ji to the position of president.

"Su Cheng's matter has been suppressed. All the major families should be investigating your matter now. Your image to the outside world has always been close to the people and you have worked hard for development. The nuclear weapons issue is very important to your image." Jia Lao rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with his right hand. He lowered his head and turned his back to the light, so people could not see the real expression on his face. "What should we do? You should decide as soon as possible."

Xiao Ji was shocked, "So we're just going to let Su Cheng's matter go?"

"The president of the Military Association is here," said Jia Lao, glancing at Xiao Ji, "She should also know about your situation."

Xiao Ji couldn't move, but the expression on his face was one of horror.

Mr. Jia was just waiting for Xiao Ji to calm down.

After a long while, Xiao Ji regained his expression, and a fierce look quickly flashed across his eyes, "I know, Mr. Jia."

"Well," Jia Lao glanced at Xiao Ji, "I heard that Baili Ze has been on good terms with the eldest daughter of the Ren family recently. I don't know what's going on with him, but you are in danger in the vote at the end of this year."

The Weapon Association has cooperation with the Ren family, and Ren Weigan is the director of the weapons division of the Weapon Association.

Ren Weigan is the sworn brother of the eldest daughter of the Ren family.

If Baili Ze can get his ticket by the end of the year, this battle will be difficult to fight.

"Su Cheng's matter..." Xiao Ji smiled fiercely, completely different from Chairman Xiao who cherished talents in the outside world. "I will settle this matter with him later. Mr. Jia, don't worry, I will handle the nuclear weapons matter."

**

Dean Li’s wife is not in the same institute as Dean Li.

She studied information technology and taught at Peking University. Occasionally, some research groups would ask her for help.

The eldest daughter of the Ren family was once her student and the most outstanding student she had ever taught.

At this moment, she was in the study, wearing glasses on her nose.

Flipping through a large computer book, she occasionally made notes with a pen. Next to her was a book of "Difficult Mathematics Problems" without a book number.

There was only a bookmark inside.

That was the book that Dean Li received from his students.

But Dean Li never returned it.

Mrs. Li looked at the book, and a hint of tenderness flashed across her brows.

She got tired of reading, put down her pen and pinched her eyebrows.

Dean Li has not been home for two days. In fact, Dean Li does not go home very often.

But this time, Mrs. Li didn't know why, but she felt uneasy in her heart.

The doorbell rang. Mrs. Li put down her book and went downstairs to open the door. The person who came was Guan Shuxian, the only student Dean Li had accepted.

Guan Shuxian looked at Madam Li and said, "Master's wife."

"Why do you look so bad?" Madam Li looked at Guan Shuxian, gently poured him a glass of warm water, and asked him to sit on the sofa. "Are you sick? Did you have dinner?"

"It's nothing, just a minor cold." Guan Shuxian took the cup and sat on the sofa. He looked around the room for a while but couldn't find anyone. "Where's the teacher? I didn't find him when I went to the research base next door."

"When they are busy, they are very busy," Mrs. Li smiled, "I will talk to you when he comes out. Why are you looking for him so urgently?"

Guan Shuxian held the cup and nodded.

He wanted to tell Dean Li that the base was not a sky base at all, but a nuclear weapon.

Before she could say anything, Mrs. Li's cell phone in her study rang.

She took a look, then went into the study to get her cell phone. Seeing the incoming call, Mrs. Li smiled at Guan Shuxian and said, "Your teacher should be coming out."

As she spoke, Mrs. Li answered the phone.

The voice on the other end of the phone was not that of Dean Li.

Mrs. Li was surprised and asked, "I am his wife, where is he?"

Someone on the other end said something that froze Mrs. Li’s smile and she widened her eyes.

“Pah—”

The phone fell to the ground.

Mrs. Li's face turned pale instantly, her body swayed and she almost fell down.

Guan Shuxian was also panicked when he saw Madam Li like this, "Master's wife, are you okay?"

"Xiao Guan," Madam Li grabbed Guan Shuxian's arm. Her eyes were dull and she didn't cry. She just spoke blankly, "The research institute said that your teacher committed suicide. How could he commit suicide..."

Guan Shuxian is not stupid to have come this far.

As soon as Mrs. Li opened her mouth, his mind exploded.

He didn't know what was going on in his mind at this moment.

He was in a daze and drove Mrs. Li to the hospital to pick up Dean Li's body.

When they arrived at the hospital, they saw that it was the inspector from the Instrument Association, the same person who arrested Meng Fu last time. When he saw Madam Li, he pursed his lips and said in a respectful and dry voice, "Director Li is in there. He took sleeping pills and couldn't be saved. You...you go in."

When Mrs. Li walked in, she saw Dean Li covered with a white cloth.

She lowered her head and looked at Dean Li, whose expression was very calm.

It seems that death is not painful.

Mrs. Li didn't cry, she just stood in front of the bed.

The prosecutor couldn't bear to look at Mrs. Li and walked out the door.

Guan Shuxian was stunned. He suddenly grabbed Madam Li. His voice trembled. He spoke for a long time before he finished speaking. "Teacher's wife, I didn't tell you that we didn't go to a space factory base yesterday, but a nuclear weapons base. Because of a research and development accident, more than 300 people died. Teacher... Teacher definitely didn't commit suicide..."

Hearing Guan Shuxian's words, Mrs. Li staggered.

They are all caught in the vortex of the capital.

Mrs. Li also knew the rest, without Guan Shu saying anything else. No one understood Dean Li's character better than her.

After this incident, he might return to Peking University to teach as an ordinary teacher and would not touch research again. Why would he commit suicide?

She opened her eyes wide, but couldn't shed a single tear.

**

Traditional Chinese Medicine Base.

Xiao Ji was still lying on the bed, "Has the notice been issued?"

His henchman shook his head, "Not yet."

"Immediately, Dean Li deceived his superiors and subordinates, causing irreparable consequences. Dean Li will be removed from the position of dean, and the position of dean will be replaced by Vice Dean Xu." Xiao Ji closed his eyes and spoke in a cold voice.

The confidant took the order and went directly to the entire research institute to issue the announcement.

Less than half an hour after Dean Li's death, the entire institute saw the notice.

Xiao Ji personally disclosed the matter of the 366 people to the people at the research institute and issued an official announcement.

All major groups are discussing the matter concerning President Li.

"I didn't expect that Dean Li, who usually seems indifferent to fame and fortune, would actually do such a thing."

"Don't judge a person by his appearance. He usually helps poor students with a righteous appearance, but who would have known that he is such a person behind the scenes? I wonder how much money he has embezzled..."

"366 people, and he almost killed his own student. No wonder he didn't go to the base. It seems he knew there would be danger. I don't know what his students think now."

"No way? I've talked to Dean Li, he's not that kind of person..."

"What do you mean not? Look at how much President Xiao valued him in the past. He directly promoted him to the position of dean. Now the position of dean has been removed by President Xiao. You can see how disappointed President Xiao is in him."

“…”

Those discussing this are all ordinary researchers in various major groups.

They have no contact with the top leaders, and the information they know is all sent to them by Xiao Ji. No matter what the facts are, they cannot compare to the announcement released on the official website.

Chairman Xiao's image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one knows how to doubt him.

"The teacher is not that kind of person!" Guan Shuxian's eyes were red, and he looked like a trapped beast.

He turned around and was about to leave.

Mrs. Li knelt in front of Dean Li, "Where are you going?"

Guan Shuxian wiped away his tears and said, "I'll go find President Xiao. The teacher is not that kind of person."

Madam Li turned her head and looked at Guan Shuxian, "Xiao Guan, you can't go. Do you think these announcements will be issued without Chairman Xiao's permission?"

Guan Shuxian raised his head, his eyes red, and looked at Madam Li, "Then I will ask him why he put the teacher in an unjust position. The teacher trusted him so much and believed in him from beginning to end. I want to ask him how the teacher did him wrong. I want to ask him if the teacher's death had anything to do with him."

Guan Shuxian, like Dean Li, has no power behind him. At this time, he is alone.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Madam Li watched Guan Shuxian leave, her expression changed drastically, she stood up and stopped Guan Shuxian, "Xiao Guan, don't go! You can't beat him!"

However, Guan Shuxian ran too fast and Mrs. Li couldn't catch up with him at all.

Mrs. Li sat down on the ground, her fingers trembling, as she opened her cell phone and looked for someone in the address book. Dean Li was dead, and Guan Shuxian could no longer be in trouble.
