Is Dong Zhiqiang really that unreliable? I gave him a piece of obsidian yesterday, and he's already turning his back on me today?
Mom and Dad's precious two-day holiday was canceled just like that!
How infuriating! She, her parents, and her fifth brother had no choice but to follow the guards to see what was going on.
Ye Aotian directed his younger brothers to return to the reception building, telling them to calm down.
He was quite curious, never expecting his fifth brother to be from the military region and even the head of the metaphysics department. "You could just be the head of a mountain sect, why are you the head of a metaphysics department?"
However, Ye Aotian was more curious about what had happened when he sent his father and mother there.
Xiaoxi and the others had already arrived at the small conference room.
Inside the conference room, Dong Zhiqiang and another balding man sat there dejectedly.
Upon seeing Xiaoxi, Dong Zhiqiang immediately jumped up from his seat.
"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, come quickly, I need to talk to you urgently."
Xiaoxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes in displeasure. After all, she was a primary school student, so she could just say what she wanted to say.
"Uncle Dong! You're being so unfair! You know perfectly well that my parents are on holiday today, and our family has finally managed to get together. How can you cancel their holiday? Put your hands on your conscience, is this appropriate?"
Ye Yuan immediately patted Xiao Xi's hand, "Xiao Xi, don't be rude to your superiors. We soldiers are always on standby, what vacation do we have?"
Since her father had said that, Xiaoxi suppressed her displeasure and looked at Dong Zhiqiang.
"Uncle Dong, please tell me quickly, what is it?"
Dong Zhiqiang was extremely embarrassed. "The main reason for canceling Lao Ye and Comrade Wanyi's vacation is that we encountered a very difficult situation."
Xiaoxi was just about to say something tricky, "Why did you come to me?"
Knowing what Xiaoxi was going to say, Dong Zhiqiang blurted it out without giving any hints.
"Yaojing is missing! I handed it over to Lao Qin in the special technology department yesterday afternoon, and then discovered it was missing this morning! Xiaoxi is really sorry."
"Oh, Uncle Dong, less than 24 hours have passed, how could it be lost?" If I had known there would be so many problems, I shouldn't have handed over this Yaojing, which caused my parents' vacation to be canceled.
Qin Dong, standing to the side, felt extremely ashamed, his head almost bowed lower than the table.
But now is not the time for shame. "I'm sorry everyone, I have failed the important task assigned to me by the leaders."
Xiaoxi waved her hand, "Uncle Qin, right? Instead of blaming yourself here, take us to your research lab."
Qin Dong knew that Ye Yuan's daughter was extraordinary, as she was a major general, and even Ye Yuan's son was in the metaphysics department of the General Military Region.
The priority now is to find the missing Yaojing. This area is full of military personnel, so it's not against the rules to go into his research area.
So Qin Dong led everyone into the research lab of the special department.
The security is currently tight, and the people inside cannot get out.
Xiaoxi learned that the research lab brings together top military engineers and technicians, and their main research focus is on missile booster energy.
"Uncle Qin, can you tell me how Yaojing disappeared?"
"Yesterday, the engineers and I cut off a small piece of the obsidian and put the larger piece in the most important safe."
Then we started working on it day and night, and the few of us only rested for two or three hours.
When I woke up this morning, I found that the piece of obsidian I had cut had melted.
We thought we had mishandled it, so we quickly went to get the larger piece from the safe, only to find that the obsidian crystal in the black metal box was gone.
