At this moment, Tang Guoan, as the de facto leader of the team and the representative of the Imperial Capital Military Region, knew that he had no choice but to speak up.
However, what could he say? Given the need to utilize a large amount of resources, firstly, he couldn't make the decision himself, and secondly, Tang Guoan couldn't guarantee that the capital city would have a way to cure Chu Tianxing.
After all, he himself had not yet transcended the mortal realm and did not know the severity of his injuries. Moreover, the capital authorities had previously discussed Chu Tianxing's injuries with the Special Affairs Bureau and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ultimately, all the grandmasters and experts in spiritual energy research were not optimistic about Chu Tianxing's ability to regain his strength. Not only would it require too many resources, which were too precious, but it would also take a lot of time, which was unrealistic.
That's why this matter was handled so quietly.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Guoan finally mustered up the courage to say:
"First of all, neither I personally, nor the Beijing Military Region, nor the Chinese Academy of Sciences deny the contributions made by Major Wang and President Chu in this Yunnan incident, and we are also very grateful to you for your righteous assistance."
I deeply regret Principal Chu's injuries, but we were unaware of the relevant circumstances before we set off. Furthermore, we are neither researchers nor therapists in this field, so this matter requires careful consideration..."
Hearing Tang Guoan's continued insistence, Wang Zheng realized that this guy probably really couldn't make the decision.
So he raised an eyebrow and said casually:
"Take it a long time? Okay, let's talk again when we've figured it out."
I'm sorry, I'm just not good with words and may have said something harsh before. But everyone here is older than me, so I hope you can forgive my offense and ask that you elders not take it to heart.
Wang Zheng smiled in a simple and honest manner, but his attitude was very firm, making it clear that if you don't handle this, then I'm not willing to talk to you about anything else.
Especially matters related to the elemental scarab.
Seeing Wang Zheng's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Yan Hao on the other side also found it amusing.
Although he still maintained the same detached, spectator-like demeanor as before, in any case, their Special Affairs Bureau was a separate, independent department, and had no direct subordinate relationship with the military region.
So no matter how much Wang Zheng lost his temper, he couldn't take it out on him. In addition, he had a good impression of Wang Zheng, so he was happy to see the military region, which was always so powerful, suffer a setback at his hands.
However, Professor Huo Lianrong from the Imperial Capital Research Institute, who was sitting on the far right, did not have such patience.
He was a pure researcher; from the moment the cave appeared, he devoted himself solely to his research.
Although he had never expressed any opinions before, and was rather aloof, showing indifference to other matters and even his nominal students, this did not mean that he had no ambitions.
Previously, when Wang Zheng made veiled accusations about the Grandmaster Ranking, he held back because he was considering the topic of psionic weapons that they would discuss later. However, when he heard Wang Zheng personally say that he was unwilling to cooperate with the country, he couldn't hold back anymore.
At this moment, he tapped the table and looked at Wang Zheng seriously, saying:
"Major Wang Zheng, I hope you can be mindful of your status. After all, you are a soldier of China, and you should consider the consequences when you speak."
The Imperial Capital Research Institute is not a private institution, and the development of psionic weapons is not for personal gain.
This is a major event that benefits the country and its people. Developing new energy weapons and Principal Chu's injury are two separate matters.
We're not making a deal with you, nor have we traveled all the way from the capital to discuss anything with you. We're informing you that this is an order from the state!
As soon as Huo Lianrong spoke, the entire conference room fell silent, and Tang Guoan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that I can't speak; my good buddies from the research institute are here to help me share the burden.
That's exactly how it should be. After all, it was the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who first proposed refusing to treat Chu Tianxing, not the military region.
But this matter cannot be stated openly.
He knew that Wang Zheng harbored resentment, which he was now venting on the military region. But ultimately, the Imperial Capital Research Institute was a subordinate organization of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, Professor Huo, who couldn't speak, jumped out and took the initiative to attract Wang Zheng's attention. This could be considered as the grievance being settled and the debt being repaid.
As for Wang Zheng, to be honest, he actually really liked the selfless dedication of the older generation, and even respected it.
Whether it's Chu Tianxing, Gu Min, or even Huo Lianrong at this moment.
However, he felt it was difficult for him to have the same mindset as them, to respect people with exceptionally high moral standards, but he couldn't do it himself.
Seeing Huo Lianrong's aloof and detached demeanor, Wang Zheng could no longer hold back. After all, it was his principal who was injured, not them.
If it were their family members who were injured, would they still be able to talk so lightly right now?
Even if it were possible, Wang Zheng believed that he was just an ordinary person and did not have such high ideological awareness. His thoughts were very simple: refuse to take advantage of others and start with himself!
