When Wang Zheng lost his temper, the conference room fell silent.
Yan Hao was enjoying watching the show, while Chu Tianxing continued to support Wang Zheng with his imposing presence, subtly creating immense pressure that enveloped Tang Guoan.
Tang Guoan was on pins and needles. Although Chu Tianxing was injured and his strength had not yet recovered, Wang Zheng was putting too much pressure on him.
His eyes were blazing with endless ferocity, completely devoid of the amiable demeanor he had displayed when he first entered.
Moreover, this time, even Professor Huo Lianrong, who had always kept a stern face and an unapproachable expression, clearly showed signs of impatience.
The matter of the Heavenly Demon had nothing to do with him; his mission was to observe whether Wang Zheng's "spiritual energy grenade" was as powerful as Yun Dian had reported.
In addition to recording the specific range and lethality, if there are any differences from the experiment in the capital, it is also necessary to record the specific manufacturing method in detail to see if there is any room for improvement in the laboratory's manufacturing method.
As for the scarabs used for experiments, he had already brought them over and placed them at the alien beast base of the Jingnan Military Region.
Now all that's left is to take Wang Zheng to do the actual testing, but now this uncle and nephew from the military region are arguing endlessly over this trivial matter of the Heavenly Demon.
This was not the first time he had clashed with Major Wang from Jingnan. The thought of needing Wang Zheng's cooperation in the future gave him a headache.
It was all a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. I should have talked to them first.
Huo Lianrong had a vague sense of unease. As the only mentally awakened being present, he felt that this mission wouldn't go so smoothly...
Professor Gu Min clearly knew about the incident on Butterfly Island where Wang Zheng was forced to examine the spatial ring, and the anger in Wang Zheng's words indicated that he was aware of it.
It doesn't matter who was right or wrong in this matter anymore. After all, one person completed the task and checked Wang Zheng's storage ring, while the other received the agreed-upon compensation.
Although Gu Min also felt that Wang Zheng was really holding a grudge, remembering the grievances from half a year ago and even shamelessly comparing the Jingnan Military Region to his storage space.
But young people are bound to be a little arrogant, which is understandable. After all, he's our own kid. If we don't step up to protect him now, when will we? Look how badly Chu Tianxing is injured, yet he still acts like he's ready to fight to the death.
Isn't this just pure manipulation to win people's hearts? And that little bastard Wang Zheng actually falls for it.
Therefore, the representative of the Jingnan Military Region also stood up to support Wang Zheng and directly took the blame for the application submitted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to hand over Tianmo.
"As I said before, there's no room for negotiation regarding the Heavenly Demon's handling of this mutant incident."
Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with Major Wang. Even if he hadn't applied for it beforehand, I don't intend to give these Heavenly Demons to the capital.
Our local military region has contributed enough, but what has been given in return?
The progress in returning to Jingnan is a bit slow. Don't you feel guilty saying that? Did you provide us with any data feedback when you were conducting experiments in the capital? Did you tell us about your brother's successful awakening?
I'll say it again: whether it's the Beijing Military Region or the Chinese Academy of Sciences, no matter where the application comes from or who comes, even if it's Tang family old ghost coming in person, it's no use. That's what I said!
If you have any objections, just contact your superiors and submit a report, saying that it was me, Gu Min, who objected!
Seeing how helpful Grandpa Gu was, Wang Zheng was filled with admiration. But who exactly was this old ghost from the Tang family that the old man was talking about?
Could it be that Tang Guoan isn't the highest-ranking official in the Tang family?
'Good heavens, the capital city is indeed a deep and dangerous place; we can't afford to mess with it.'
Upon hearing Wang Zheng recount all the old stories and being reprimanded by Professor Gu Min, Tang Guoan blushed, realizing that what he had done was indeed dishonest.
However, he was also frustrated, as he, a soldier, was genuinely unaware of the experiments being conducted.
He himself only learned about the fact that the Heavenly Demon could be used for awakening after his younger brother's unexpected death, when his nephew came to his door.
Although the Imperial Capital Military Region and the research institute were indeed quite close, they were still two different departments. How could a major general in the military region know that there were so many intricacies involved?
Besides, these were all things done by the research institute, so how can you shift the blame onto him?
As for the military region's purpose that Wang Zheng mentioned at the beginning, what purpose could he have? If Wang Zheng hadn't reserved that demon general for his father to experiment on long ago, he wouldn't have even met Wang Zheng.
Tang Guoan came to Jingnan this time primarily because he had promised his nephew that he would help the only son of the third generation of the Tang family bring back the Heavenly Demon General so that he could successfully awaken.
Secondly, he did indeed assure the military region that he would try his best to bring back all the demons and mutants involved in this special incident in southern Beijing.
As for anything else, he didn't really have any mission; he was mainly there to help his nephew get some benefits.
Otherwise, why would a major general from the National Military Region, with nothing better to do, come to southern Beijing during the Chinese New Year?
Could it be that they're here to award medals to Wang Zheng and Chu Tianxing for their outstanding contributions in Yunnan? They're not from the Capital Military Region, so Major General Tang has no say in their affairs...
Seeing that Tang Guoan suddenly fell silent, Wang Zheng coughed twice and took over the conversation.
"Since there are no other questions, I, a mere novice, do have a few questions I'd like to ask the Imperial Capital Military Region. If they are not to your liking, please forgive me."
