In fact, this phoenix statue was given to Meng Guanghui by the dwarves on the planet Yanze.
However, after Meng Guanghui returned, the phoenix statue was "confiscated" by Huo Yushen as the main evidence for investigating the mechanical intelligence from "five hundred years later".
Even Meng Guanghui didn't know that this small phoenix statue was actually a communication device!
Thinking of this, he was glad that the person who preserved the phoenix statue was Huo Yushen.
Because he is the only one who has the authority and ability to make the most timely decision after the phoenix statue issues a warning.
Meng Guanghui nodded and said, "Huo Shuai, this statue has long been yours. You can decide for yourself."
Huo Yushen said, "This belongs to Xia Chujian. When she comes back, I'll return it to its original owner."
Meng Guanghui: “…”
What does this have to do with Xia Chujian?
Isn't this a statue made in the image of a mechanical intelligence from five hundred years from now?
Kang Shanxing was smarter and more alert. He suddenly came to his senses, his pupils suddenly constricted, and even his mouth opened into a round O shape.
Fortunately, he was standing behind Meng Guanghui and Meng Guanghui didn't see his expression, otherwise he would have become suspicious.
Meng Guanghui also had preconceived ideas and did not connect this thing with Xia Chujian at all.
Kang Shanxing, however, knew Huo Yushen better and knew that he would not say such a thing without any purpose.
He was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of Huo Yushen's subtle gaze from the corner of his eye. He immediately shut up and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Huo Yushen said coldly: "When Xia Chujian comes back, she will explain to you."
Meng Guanghui looked at Huo Yushen suspiciously: "When will she be able to come back? You went there and couldn't save her. Will she never come back?"
Meng Guanghui's attention was immediately diverted to Xia Chujian's whereabouts, and he asked Huo Yushen worriedly.
Huo Yushen was silent for a long time before he said, "I will do my best."
Even someone as capable as Huo Yushen only said that he would try his best.
Now, not only Meng Guanghui, but even Kang Shanxing felt their hearts in their throats.
Meng Guanghui felt sad and said, "Huo Shuai, is there really no other way?"
"Can you give me a definite answer as to whether Chu Jian can come back?"
"Her aunt video calls me every day to check on her. It's driving me crazy!"
After hearing Meng Guanghui's words, Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing looked at him together.
Kang Shanxing frowned and said, "Xia Chujian is now a student at the military academy. She disappeared, and she disappeared during a school activity. Her aunt should have looked for the school first, right? Why is she looking for you every day?"
Meng Guanghui said with a bitter face: "She not only looked for me, she also looked for people from the school!"
Yes, ever since Xia Yuanfang learned that his niece did not return as scheduled after participating in the school's expedition, he began to contact the school and Xia Chujian's boss Meng Guanghui.
Because she knew that even if Xia Chujian went to military school, he would still be employed by the Special Security Bureau.
Since the organization is still there, Meng Guanghui is still responsible for Xia Chujian.
And for some reason, Xia Yuanfang trusts Meng Guanghui from the Special Security Bureau more.
So she made video calls to the school and Meng Guanghui at a fixed time every day to inquire about Xia Chujian's whereabouts.
The video call to the school was just a routine matter, but the video call to Meng Guanghui was much more detailed, making Meng Guanghui miserable.
If Huo Yushen had not received the communication from the dwarves and left immediately, Meng Guanghui would have volunteered to go to Yanze Star himself.
When Meng Guanghui finished speaking, his quantum optical brain watch carrier once again sent out an invitation for a video call.
The corner of Meng Guanghui's eye twitched, and he said, "... again... again."
Despite his complaints, Meng Guanghui could still understand Xia Yuanfang's feelings.
In front of Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing, he answered Xia Yuanfang's video call invitation.
Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing were standing opposite him, so when he was video chatting with Xia Yuanfang, there was no sign of Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing in the background picture.
Meng Guanghui did not use a virtual background either, because he had to let Xia Yuanfang know where he was and what he was doing so that there would be no misunderstanding.
Sure enough, when Xia Yuanfang saw the background of Meng Guanghui's call, his eyes dimmed involuntarily.
This background is almost exactly the same as the one she saw a few days ago.
This means that Meng Guanghui hasn't been going anywhere these days and has been staying in one place...
No matter how good Xia Yuanfang's patience and self-control were, he couldn't hold on any longer at this moment.
Her eyes were heavy as she whispered, "Colonel Meng, is there any news about my niece Xia Chujian?"
"Today, fourteen days, eight hours, forty-seven minutes, and five seconds have passed since she disappeared."
