Outside the space, after greeting Lin Haiquan, General Li led Qiu Man and more than thirty staff members out of the small auditorium in a swaggering manner.
They were surrounded by onlookers along the way, but they just smiled and didn't say anything.
The rumors that General Li and Captain Li had died at the Imperial Capital base were thus dispelled.
Li Sikai wasn't feeling well and rested in the space for a day before sending out another group of people.
Peng Baoxin was grateful to the leaders for giving him the opportunity to stand out, so he voluntarily stayed to take care of Li Sikai.
Although it wasn't necessary, Li Sikai appreciated his sentiment.
After resting for another three to five days, Li Sikai finally released everyone, except for the guards who were working in the space.
Of course, they can also take turns going out for fresh air.
well!
Li Sikai was the last to leave the space. As soon as he came out, Lin Haiquan helped him back to the office building.
This nearly drove Li Sikai to the brink of collapse. He said, half-laughing, half-crying, "I'm fine, I'm all better now, really!"
Lin Haiquan didn't believe it and shook his head, saying, "No, no, I have to hand you over to General Li personally."
Li Sikai: "Then let go of my hand, I'll walk by myself."
Lin Haiquan: "No, what if he falls?"
Li Sikai: "You're dragging me like this, as if I'm a prisoner."
Lin Haiquan thought for a moment and said, "How about we put our arms around each other's shoulders?"
Li Sikai stared at him for a long time, and seeing that he wouldn't compromise, she said, "You should help me up."
Lin Haiquan grinned: "Alright!"
The two left the small auditorium, followed by several guards.
Although it's already dark, there are still quite a few pedestrians on the street.
Upon spotting the group, they all warmly greeted them, "Hello, Captain Li!"
"Captain Li, you're out! How's the space?"
"Captain Li, when will the space be upgraded again?"
Li Sikai greeted everyone with a smile, but didn't say a word about the space.
Seeing his friendly attitude, the people didn't pay any attention to him.
After he left, everyone said, "We didn't expect Captain Li to be so approachable. We are so lucky to have such a successor."
Half an hour later, Li Sikai successfully met with General Li. However, due to the faith points he had collected along the way, his originally rosy complexion turned pale again.
"Xiao Kai, are you feeling unwell again? Let's go to the hospital for a check-up right away!" General Li said before Lin Haiquan even left.
Li Sikai smiled weakly and shook his head: "I'm fine, I just need to rest, I don't need to go to the hospital."
Seeing Lin Haiquan's resolute attitude, General Li told him to leave first. Once the office was empty, he asked, "Do you know what happened?"
Li Sikai nodded, not hiding anything: "I fainted this time because I had too much faith points, and my body couldn't handle it."
When General Li heard this, he was stunned. As if incredulous, he grabbed the man's shoulder and asked, "Are you serious? Then, what will happen next time we upgrade?"
Li Sikai's eyes flickered, and he fell silent.
"No, we can't upgrade any further. Let's leave it at that; 100,000 mu is already a lot. I'll hold a press conference right now." Li Zongmengguan felt a sharp pain in his heart; he hadn't expected the cost of upgrading the space to be so high.
Seeing that he was on the verge of a breakdown, Li Sikai tugged at his sleeve: "Uncle, we have no way out. Ever since the space was made public and everyone was told that we could upgrade through faith points, we can only keep going with our heads down."
"Uncle, have you considered that if we give up halfway, we will lose the trust of the world? People will no longer believe in the alliance, and may even suspect that we, uncle and nephew, want to monopolize the space?"
"This space involves the interests of too many people, we..."
Upon hearing this, General Li burst into tears. He never imagined that this shackle would be so heavy.
Does that mean his nephew can only dedicate himself to the Qinghua Kingdom until his death?
He didn't want to; he wanted to live!
"It's alright, Uncle. I might not die. As long as I can hold on, the space will be upgraded successfully. Then everything will be fine."
What if you can't hold on?
Li Sikai remained silent for a moment before uttering words that broke the heart of General Li: "Probably, either they'll explode and die, or the space will collapse."
Not long after, a sobbing sound came from the office.
Li Sikai had accepted the fact that he might die at any time, but General Li couldn't accept it and vented his anger by lying on the table.
The office was well soundproofed, but faint crying could still be heard in the corridor, showing how devastated General Li was.
Qiu Man's expression changed drastically upon hearing the noise. He placed his hand on the door, wanting to knock, but didn't dare.
The others, too, stood bewildered at the doorway. Their hearts clenched, wondering what had happened.
After a long, long time, General Li finally composed himself. He rubbed his red and swollen eyes and made a phone call to his secretary.
"Schedule a meeting in half an hour."
"OK."
When Qiu Man received the notification from his secretary, he was still standing dumbfounded at the door of General Li's office.
Upon hearing the notification, he lowered his hand and entered the conference room, glancing back several times as he went.
The other bigwigs also heard about the commotion. Feeling depressed, they all put down their work and went to the conference room.
After tidying himself up, General Li stood up and said, "Let's go in as soon as possible, explain the situation, and prepare them mentally."
Li Sikai nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, please don't do this, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
Li Zongmengguan gave a wry smile and remained silent.
The two opened the office door and found that there were many more people in the corridor. They cautiously watched Li Zongmeng's expression.
General Manager Li glanced at him casually, said nothing, and led Li Sikai into the conference room.
He is now completely disheartened and no longer cares what others say.
Inside the conference room, more than a dozen bigwigs were already seated. Chief Li paused for a moment, then took his seat.
Looking into his red eyes, everyone had a thousand words in their hearts, but dared not say a word.
Li Zongmeng didn't hide anything and revealed the hidden worries surrounding Li Sikai. Because everyone had personally experienced it, and Li Sikai's face was still pale, none of them suspected anything.
Everyone fell silent, feeling quite saddened. Who could have imagined that this space, which initially inspired envy and resentment, would have such a major problem?
If it were them, could they really withstand the pain of upgrading their space?
Indeed, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
"General, things are out of our control now. Even if we wanted to stop it, we couldn't stop everyone's thoughts."
“We also feel sorry for Xiao Kai, but the people of Qinghua Kingdom are all waiting for the space to be upgraded so that the resources will double. Now that things are like this, I don’t know what to do.”
General Li remained silent. This was truly a dilemma.
