Chapter 92
Charles paced back and forth in the lobby of this floor, perhaps to avoid others seeing his anxiety, and he distracted the young researchers to do other things.
"What the hell does this woman want to do?" Charles muttered incoherently. With fear and anger intertwined, he could only wonder whether the Ghost Commander was dissatisfied with their work and whether he was about to be in great trouble.
After he walked back and forth for who knows how many times, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, she has always been against Xisen... Could it be that she is unhappy that we locked him up here and is using this as an excuse to scold us... No, I have to let Gus release him as soon as possible to avoid..."
Just when he thought he had found the key, "Cessie" came from a distance in the corridor. She walked with a breeze and didn't even look at Charles. Instead, he put on a smile and walked up to her: "Hey, Miss Cece, are you done? How is it? Are you satisfied with Xisen's arrangement?"
Ango frowned, ignored him, and got on the elevator.
A few minutes later, a scream echoed throughout the Interhead Group building.
“It’s on fire!!!”
Alarms blared from all directions, and staff in protective clothing, holding fire-fighting equipment, all got on the elevator. The group was in chaos, and people looked around, not knowing what was going on.
Seeing this situation, Ango thought for two seconds and suddenly decided to change direction. She took the direct elevator to the deepest part of the hall, and looked at the rapidly falling surrounding scenery through the glass window. Her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated.
"What are you doing! Come back! Don't be impulsive!" Dylan's voice came over the communication network, and he shouted with all his might, "Our plan has been completed! We've also found Xisen! Don't add unnecessary details!"
Ango impatiently closed the channel to prevent Dylan from invading his brain.
This is a direct elevator that only goes to a few important floors. Even Ango did not have the permission to take it before. He only came here a few times with Mo Li and others.
She pressed the corresponding floor.
It is very quiet here, in stark contrast to the noise downstairs.
The first floor was empty, with only a few surveillance cameras focused on Ango as he walked out of the elevator.
She slowed down her pace, trying not to make any noise, and walked inside step by step. Looking at the closed doors and windows on both sides, she couldn't help but start to get nervous.
She just came here to try her luck, and she might not really meet him.
"Yes, Commander, I know..." A faint female voice came from the end of the corridor. Ango took a deep breath and gently opened the door next to him, leaving a gap and pressing his whole body against the door panel.
Then, a slightly older male voice sounded: "You and Mo Li have both made a lot of contributions... He has always distrusted Xi Sen and was against telling him many things, but you are very optimistic about that young man."
“Well… Mo Li is a very cautious person, but Xi Sen has been in the group for so many years, and he has completed his tasks very well… especially this time.”
Cece paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Perhaps Mo Li was afraid of Xi Sen's revenge. The idea of the zero bomb was his, and he even hid it from me. I didn't expect Xi Sen to survive..."
This plan was led by Mo Li, but Lu Sheng must have nodded in support behind the scenes. This was the first time that Ceci was excluded.
"Mo Li feels that this will put an end to future trouble. If someone later discovers that Xi Sen is on our side, it will only bring unnecessary trouble. He believes... that you may harbor selfish motives towards Xi Sen and will definitely oppose this proposal."
"Of course I would object!" Ceci blurted out, "But doesn't Li Qiye have any selfish motives? He was so lenient towards Sangria!"
As if she had grasped at Li Qiye's weakness, she began to talk non-stop, "He clearly had the opportunity to take Sangria away, but he just wouldn't do it. He's too sympathetic to women!"
Cece said the last sentence with a hint of sarcasm.
Lu Sheng didn't dwell on this question, but instead changed the subject: "However, Xi Sen is able to survive. Perhaps there is some value in him that we haven't discovered yet. Let's end this matter here. He has made great contributions and deserves a reward."
The voices of the two people came through the corridor. The authority of this floor was very strict and almost no one came in or out, so they did not close the door. Ango hid in the next room and peeked at the information through the half-open door.
"Then I'm relieved," Cece said. "If we treat Xisen too unfairly, our subordinates will also have opinions."
Lu Sheng nodded.
"Our plan was quite successful this time, but... the Grasp of Snatch was damaged too early and it got in the way."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for this and do my best to make amends." Ceci expressed her sincerity. "I will do my best to capture Sangria and will not let her get in the way. Qiqihari may show mercy, but I won't... Damn it, I should have burned her and her parents to death on the cruise ship... so that she wouldn't become our biggest obstacle now."
Ango clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. She had to suppress her anger desperately to avoid acting impulsively.
"Obstacle?" Lu Sheng laughed. "She's quite capable... She actually managed to gain the support of Nightmare and Flame Bird... That's beyond my expectations... But... you can put your plan of capturing her aside for now."
Lu Sheng glanced at Ceci, who clearly disagreed.
"But……"
"It's rare to have an opponent. It's finally not so boring." Lu Sheng said, "She's not that great either. You can leave this matter to Qiqi. He knows his limits... and has a backup plan."
Ceci wanted to say something, but Lu Sheng stopped her. "What's more important now is... Fanyue Group has also started to make a move. Although we were competitors before, we had to cooperate in some areas. Now they have cut off all business activities. I need to buy some parts of my organs from them. We need to solve this problem first..."
"Fanyue Group..." Ango muttered to himself. Isn't that Qiu Yuan's family business? Ghost Commander is already very old, and his entire body has been replaced with artificial organs. If something goes wrong with these things, it would be a big deal...
Ever since that incident, the Interheid Group has gained an overwhelming advantage in the political and economic aspects. It's no wonder that the Fanyue Group has completely turned against them, and no wonder... Ghost Commander can't spare the time to take care of himself and MAA.
Ceci also realized the seriousness of the problem: "Yes, you are right, we must deal with them first."
It's not about solving the problem, it's about solving the people who create the problem.
At this moment, Ceci's phone rang, and a holographic video appeared, showing Charles on the opposite side.
"Ms. Ceci! It's bad! There's a fire in the lab! All of Durand's samples are gone, and... the Grasp of Snatch has also been taken!"
"What?" Ceci's face changed. She glanced at the Ghost Commander with some fear, but found that the other's expression seemed to have not changed.
"Someone pretended to be you and sneaked into the company..."
After a moment of confusion, Ceci walked out aggressively in her high heels.
Ango panicked for a moment. She quickly glanced around, looking for a place to hide. However, she saw only a conference table and a few chairs in the room. The two half-height cabinets in the corner could only accommodate a child of Ace's size. If Cece pushed open the door...
The sound of high heels was getting closer and closer, and cold sweat broke out on Ango's head.
With a "swish", the door was pushed open.
Ceci narrowed her eyes and looked around dangerously, only to find that the house was empty, with only the windows open and the curtains fluttering slightly in the wind.
She walked step by step to the window and looked out.
The scenery in the distance was the same as usual, nothing unusual. She looked down again and saw raging flames and thick black smoke drifting out of the windows on the middle floor. Ceci cursed in her heart and hurried out.
However, on the rooftop of the Interhead Group, Ango had a strong rope tied around his waist, and the steel claws tied to the other end of the rope were firmly embedded in the wall - just now, it was this equipment that helped Ango climb from the window to the top floor.
Fortunately, bosses like to have their offices on the top floor, making it easier for Ango to escape.
After reconnecting with Dylan, she briefly explained the current situation and received a lecture. Soon, a huge eagle landed on the roof. Ango held the eagle's claws tightly with both hands and quietly left the gray-white building again in the chaos.
She gained a lot from this trip.
He learned about Xisen's condition, found out the true situation of Ghost Commander, and... a fire burned Dulang's body, which was considered as dust to dust, allowing Dulang to rest in peace.
Ango didn't know why he made this impulsive decision. Maybe it was because "since I can't take it away, I might as well destroy it", maybe it was because of "the little sympathy and conscience I have left for Dulang", or maybe it was because "such a sinful research doesn't seem so necessary".
The former king of involution and scientific research fanatic, I don’t know when it started, but he let go of his obsession and caution, and began to feel that following fate and his own heart is also an option.
Ango couldn't explain her thoughts clearly, and she didn't discuss these actions with anyone before doing them. Even Dylan, who worked with her team, was only informed by her.
This peculiar person who could only speak in other people's minds expressed strong dissatisfaction with Ango's repeated self-assertion, but also praised the results achieved.
"I thought you'd take some of Dulang with you, but I didn't expect you to burn it all," Dilan said. "Don't you think it's a pity? With such a rare Beyonder ability, who knows when you'll encounter it again, or maybe someone else will encounter it first."
"By then, I might be gray-haired or just a skeleton." Ango laughed at himself. "Why think so much?"
"And..." Ango held up the metal glove. "How did you know... I didn't take anything with me. If you disassemble this glove, you can get some interesting things."
A mysterious smile appeared on her face. "The Interhead Group is going to deal with Fan Yue, and I want to break through this thing... Even with limited materials, I can still do something creative. I want to see if Gus's skills have improved."
