Chapter 98 What is the point of working so hard in this life
In the director's office of the General Administration of Supernormal Management, the telephone receiver slammed onto the table.
Director Zhang rested his hands on the desk, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Zhang Dongyang has been kidnapped, and the other party is trying to use his life to threaten Director Zhang to open the permission to the meteorite.
As expected, the organization's target was indeed the meteorite underground in the C City Supernatural Administration.
The worst case scenario has occurred. Now all members of the C City Law Enforcement Department are not in the Supernatural Administration. The most important thing right now is to quickly notify the Fourth Law Enforcement Team to return to defend.
Director Zhang strode out of the office and shouted, "Connect me to Captain Jiang Qi'an and tell them to return to the Supernatural Administration immediately."
"The C City Supernatural Administration has activated the Level 1 crisis warning, prohibiting personnel from entering or leaving. We must stop the enemy's plan to snatch the meteorite..."
"Technical department, immediately track the call I just received and use all means to find out the location..."
A series of instructions were sent out in an orderly manner, and everyone became busy.
Information came in like snowflakes.
In the conference room, Director Zhang's face became increasingly grim as he listened to his subordinates' reports.
"What did you say? The entire Fourth Law Enforcement Team has lost contact? Where's Captain Jiang? Captain Jiang can't be contacted either?"
The subordinate said helplessly: "Captain Jiang can't be contacted either. I'm afraid he was involved in some White Walker incident?"
What level of White Walkers could trap the entire Fourth Law Enforcement Team? Even Jiang Qian'an, an S-class transcendent, was deeply involved in it.
Director Zhang sensed something unusual.
"What about the meteorite?" He then asked, "How is the meteorite?"
The subordinates' silence replaced the answer.
Director Zhang said in disbelief: "Something happened to the meteorite?"
The subordinate reported: "The C City Supernatural Administration has received news that it has not been attacked by any armed forces..."
Director Zhang hadn't even finished breathing a sigh of relief when he continued, "But the meteorite disappeared."
A meteorite disappeared?
The meteorite is missing?
How could the meteorite disappear?
The bad news came like a mountain, overwhelming the sky and making Director Zhang's eyes go dark.
He took a deep breath, slapped the table, and shouted, "What do you mean by disappeared? Could it be that the meteorite grew legs and ran away? Check the surveillance, check it for me!"
Of course, the surveillance footage had already been checked. Not only that, but every frame had been reviewed over and over again by intelligence analysts.
But the meteorite just disappeared suddenly.
Someone pondered: "Is it possible that the extraordinary person used his supernatural power?"
There are also many rare space-related abilities among the extraordinary people.
Unfortunately, the situation of the extraordinary people had already been taken into consideration, and the C City Extraordinary Management Bureau had also specially detected the extraordinary energy on the scene.
As a result, no trace of any supernatural energy was detected.
This is really weird.
Could it be that the power of this organization has become so powerful?
So how can they prevent this kind of mysterious means?
Everyone in the conference room fell silent for a moment.
Fortunately, it’s not all bad news today.
The subordinate looked at the freshly-made technical analysis report in his hand and said, "Director, the location of your last call has been found."
After making the call, the other party did not seem to move or use any anti-reconnaissance means, so the technical department easily identified the source.
This ease even made the technicians doubt their lives.
They all sighed that this organization is indeed a non-governmental organization, and there are indeed good and bad people within it.
There are top masters who can trap Captain Jiang and move the meteorite silently, and there are also Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks who kidnapped Director Zhang's son and didn't even clean up their mess.
Regardless, this is indeed good news that is exciting.
If they are lucky, they may even be able to follow this line until they find the ultimate mastermind.
After a string of bad news, Director Zhang suddenly learned about his son's situation. He asked anxiously, "Where is the location?"
The subordinate showed a strange expression on his face, "In... um, a police station in City C."
C City Public Security Bureau?
Director Zhang frowned and said, "Has the kidnapper been caught by the local police?"
When did the public security bureau become so efficient?
Subordinate: “No.”
Director Zhang suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the kidnappers kidnapped Zhang Dongyang and then hid him in the security station?
This is too outrageous.
The subordinate handed the report in his hand to Director Zhang, glanced at Director Zhang's face, and said carefully: "Our people contacted the local public security office, and these are the photos they took."
In the photo, Zhang Dongyang is eating instant noodles with great energy.
It doesn't look like he was kidnapped at all.
Director Zhang was silent.
The subordinates all knew about the rumors that Director Zhang and his son were not on good terms, and they all spoke up to smooth things over for Zhang Dongyang, saying, "Perhaps this is a misunderstanding."
"There are no kidnappers at all. They are just kids playing around."
"It was a false alarm, a false alarm."
Everyone tacitly agreed that no one mentioned the kidnappers' threat over the phone to Director Zhang to open up access to the meteorite.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Just as Director Zhang's son staged a kidnapping case, the meteorite in City C disappeared.
How could a first-grade student direct and act out such a big crime?
There is no one behind this, who would believe it if I told others?
And who is the person who instigated him?
It's easy to tell that there is no other person except Director Zhang.
Why did Director Zhang create such a misunderstanding at this critical juncture?
Is it to confuse the public or to take advantage of the situation?
Anyway, it just happened.
The fourth law enforcement team guarding the meteorite was temporarily transferred from their posts, and the authority over the meteorite belonged to only Director Zhang.
City C is Director Zhang’s home base, and it was he who, against all odds, proposed that all meteorite fragments be placed under the care of the City C Supernatural Administration.
Then, under such strict supervision, the meteorite disappeared silently from the world.
The crime was so perfect that it didn't seem like it was committed by an outsider, but rather like an insider.
Who is the traitor?
Could it be that Director Zhang is the traitor in the meteorite disappearance case?
But what does Director Zhang want the meteorite for?
Aren’t meteorites what the organization is going to use in its world-destroying plan?
Could it be that Director Zhang tried every possible means to move the meteorite away just to cooperate with the organization's plan to destroy the world?
Mu Yunfeng is just a puppet in public, and Director Zhang is the real mastermind behind the scenes?
It’s terrifying when you think about it. It’s terrifying when you think about it.
Don't think about it anymore, or something bad will happen.
Everyone looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Director Zhang has just taken office, and none of the people sitting in the conference room are his former subordinates.
But he has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not see what other people are thinking?
He has been tricked by others.
I never expected that the B City Supernatural Management Bureau was so deep.
When disaster struck, this group of people did not think about how to work together to overcome the disaster, but how to use this crisis to squeeze him out of the position of director.
Director Zhang sneered, stood up and left.
Someone chased out of the conference room and asked sincerely, "Director, do you want to contact the local police station to confirm the safety of Mr. Ling?"
Director Zhang waved his hand and walked towards the office, "No need."
Someone asked anxiously, "Then Chief, what should we do next? We can't contact the Fourth Law Enforcement Team, and the meteorite has been stolen again. I'm afraid it will cause chaos."
Director Zhang walked into the office without saying a word, leaving the people behind him looking at each other in bewilderment as they stared at the closed office door.
After entering the office, Director Zhang sat in his seat, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.
He knew the situation was hopeless, so he silently picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote his resignation.
Sitting on the wide office chair, looking at the calligraphy hanging on the opposite wall, on which were written two majestic words - "Shede".
Be willing to give and give, only by giving can you gain.
He devoted all his time to work in this life, and in the end he even gave up his son's life.
In the end, it was all in vain.
It took him most of his life to get the position of director of the Extraordinary Management Bureau, and he felt that his career had just begun.
Your forties are the age to work hard.
But today he couldn't help but wonder, what was the point of working so hard in this life?
***
A shantytown renovation area in City B.
The density of bungalows here is high and they are old. The environment and sanitation are dirty, messy and poor. It is the most inconspicuous one among the many "urban villages" in City B.
The courier drove a tricycle and stopped in front of a bungalow, and there were knocks on the door.
"Your delivery has arrived."
No one came to open the door for a long time.
The courier checked the contact number on the delivery note and dialed the number.
The call was connected and a man's voice rang out: "Hello, who is this?"
The courier asked, "Mu Yunfeng? Are you home now? Please sign for your package."
There was silence for a while, then the other party said, "Okay, wait a moment."
The courier waited at the door for a while, and the door was opened from the inside. A pale, thin man with white hair appeared in front of him.
"So you're home. Why didn't you answer when I knocked on the door just now?" The courier took a curious look at the other person's hair and handed the delivery slip to Mu Yunfeng. "Here, sign here. The sender must sign for it in person, otherwise I'll put it in the express locker."
Mu Yunfeng signed silently, "Is it OK?"
"Okay." The courier handed him the package, got on the tricycle, and rushed to the next delivery location without stopping.
Mu Yunfeng watched him leave, making sure that the other party would not make a surprise attack, then returned to the house with the express delivery and carefully locked the door.
He walked to the innermost bedroom, opened an old wooden cabinet next to the bedroom, and crawled into the cabinet.
Then the cabinet door is closed and the entire cabinet space sinks.
A creaking sound was heard, as if there were machines running deep underground.
Then there was a "ding dong" sound, the cabinet reached its lowest point, the door on the other side opened, and an underground laboratory came into view.
Mu Yunfeng stepped into the underground laboratory and walked to the deepest part of the laboratory.
Scientific researchers in white coats kept passing by along the road.
There is no sunlight here, so the researchers' faces are generally pale and they wear not very clean white coats, like white ghosts living in the underground world.
And these scientific researchers are the core of this organization.
The Capital Meteorite Research Institute gathered the strength of the entire country and conducted research for twenty years without producing any decent results. The people here made a breakthrough in just six years.
In such a crude underground laboratory.
Mu Yunfeng carried the express delivery into his own laboratory. In the entire scientific research team, he was the only chief researcher who had an independent laboratory.
He sat at his desk, looking at the express box in front of him.
He didn't remember buying any express delivery recently.
The organization is almost at the end of its rope. At this time, who still has the energy to buy things online?
But the recipient did write his contact information.
Anyone who knows his contact information must be someone very close to him.
Mu Yunfeng opened the express box while wondering who had sent it to him.
The express delivery was a simple paper box, the kind most commonly sent by express companies.
But the items inside are not simple.
After opening the express box and seeing what was inside, Mu Yunfeng's pupils contracted sharply.
He stood there for almost three seconds before he reached out and carefully took the things out of the box.
——It was a large piece of black meteorite fragment.
