Chapter 16 Added
The puppy that Shen Jian liked was taken away by Shen Lanhe on the pretext of checking for parasites.
When Shen Jian heard the news, he was still endlessly reviewing documents under the dark red solemn curtain.
He couldn't believe it, and felt like he was struck by lightning: "Why? It's just a mechanical puppy!"
Damn, the motivation for him to sit here and work diligently these days is just a cute furry thing!
Shen Lanhe sighed as he stood respectfully, trying to persuade his boss who was unwilling to accept reality: "Boss, mechanical creatures have even more parasitic diseases than living creatures. Ordinary pets only need to be vaccinated against diseases, but mechanical creatures simply cannot."
Shen Jian still couldn't believe it, he put down the pen in his hand and asked again, "Why not?"
Shen Lanhe stood not far from Shen Jian and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, “Boss, don’t forget who we got our mechanical creation line from.”
Shen Jian tilted his head slightly, and his thoughts instantly drifted back to the cadres he had talked to and dug out information from two days ago.
They revealed a lot of information to Shen Jian...
Including his conjecture - the relationship between the so-called Spark Project under the control of the "Control Panel" and the Spark Project under the control of the Wuyan Tower. The experimental project in the hands of the Control Panel is the well-known "Spark Project", but the "Spark Project" under the Wuyan Tower is a "project" secretly developed six years ago.
Wu Yan Tower's main technology only has three categories, but the technology lines he secretly controls are countless. Shen Jian can't even confirm how many large and small technology categories he has under his name. For example, the [Blue Scorpion] controlled by Shen Lanhe, its main scientific research results are in the field of medicine; another example is the [Ark] under the name of Shen An.
For example, every year, each cadre starts new projects in order to make their colleagues suffer.
So, Shen Jian thought about it, coughed lightly, and asked with a little shame: “…From whom did you get it?”
He really didn't remember.
Shen Jian turned his pen without any guilt and signed a document sent by [Wild Forest].
——He also made two special calls to the leader of the Wild Jungle.
The corner of Chen Lanhe's mouth twitched, "Chen An asked for the technology from Wei Guang, who was under the command of Tan Ling. Although it is better to say that Wei Guang had to give it..."
His lips moved, and he really wanted to explain that these important materials still needed to be read, but then he thought that anyone of them could replace these boring paper materials, so he closed his mouth again.
“Glimmer.” Shen Jian blinked, lowered his head and signed one document, then another, as if thinking, and spoke after a moment: “…Oh, the one that currently attacks the Trojan virus?”
"Yes." Chen Lanhe saw Xu Yinmo pulling open the curtain. He paused and continued, "According to the information we have received so far, [Weak Light] has left [Spirit Detection] and joined the [Middle Ages] side."
"Yeah?"
Shen Jian put the pen cap on, put the exquisite old fountain pen aside, crossed his hands, and looked very calm.
Ever since he announced the end of maintaining the balance, the upper echelons have changed almost every day, with intelligence exchanges and strength tests between various organizations surging, but now everyone has found out almost everything.
Regardless of whether there are organizations listed in the Spire Conference or whether there are organizations affiliated with the Spire Conference, they have all learned one thing from their respective channels: this is a battle of taking sides.
On both sides of the team are [Tower of Invincibility] and [Middle Ages].
No matter how their respective forces and vassals are divided, the two sides will never change.
Shen Jian felt a little regretful, as he might not be able to get the mechanical puppy - even Shen Lanhe was worried about whether the technology of [Weak Light] contained any hidden viruses, not to mention the other subordinates who were now keeping a close eye on him.
Even though Weiguang gave them the technology five years ago, who knows when they started their research on electronic viruses?
“Since the news spread so quickly, I guess everyone has decided who to follow.” Shen Jian said calmly, his dark pupils were stained with a dark blood color, and his drooping eyelashes blocked some of the wonderful reflected colorful light from the candlelight of the projected twelve candlesticks.
"Yeah." Chen Lanhe paused, and glanced at the man in military uniform beside him who seemed to be smiling, "Xu Yinmo should be investigating."
Shen Jian curved his lips and smiled, but did not respond.
Of course he was aware that he had a group of subordinates who were willing to risk their lives for credit.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Jian bet that there are about two hundred subordinates in the Wuyan Tower who can see him directly, and half of them "should be investigating", and the remaining half are silent, because Shen Jian gave them tasks.
This is because he made it clear that the matter was handed over to Xu Yinmo, so they would not come forward to take credit for it at the first time.
If Xu Yinmo made the slightest mistake, anyone with the information would of course rush up and take over the task, kicking Xu Yinmo, who had just appeared out of nowhere, away.
Shen Jian blinked and said with a smile, "Xu Yinmo, I am optimistic about your pledge of allegiance this time. I will only accept it once."
A soft and slow hum came from the side. Chen Lanhe shook her fiery red hair and turned her head to the side.
After a pause, he turned around as if he suddenly remembered something and knelt down without warning.
Xu Yinmo, who was interrupted by his action, looked indifferent, glanced at Chen Lanhe who lowered his head and seemed to have something to do, and stepped aside.
"There's one thing, boss, I've never been able to figure out." Chen Lanhe whispered, his fingers touching the soft carpet, the fluff sweeping across his palms, leaving a faint itch.
"... [Middle Ages], what confidence do you have to go to war with us?"
Good question.
But he couldn't answer.
Shen Jian turned his pen and cast his gaze towards Xu Yinmo who was silent in the corner.
Even though the purple-haired man took over the laboratory and willingly handed over the military power, he still did not take off his military uniform, but only removed his military rank.
He watched Shen Jian shake his head slightly at him, so he raised his eyebrows, leaned against the soft curtains, and closed his eyes lazily.
Shen Jian fell silent.
The room returned to an unknown silence, but this silence was completely different from the feeling Shen Lanhe had when he knelt here with his head down. He felt very... peaceful.
The boss was looking at him. The boss didn't want to explain this question, but he was thinking about how to tell him something without hiding anything and within certain limits.
The boss is thinking about how to comfort him.
Chen Lanhe buried his head even lower, trying to hide the moved expression on his face in the bottomless rotten earth.
Xu Yinmo, who was standing next to him, sneered silently as he watched Chen Lanhe tighten his hands involuntarily. He had recognized what kind of leader the boss was when he first stepped into this room...
Both sides know the truth and it's just a voluntary blow. Is it worth making such a gesture?
He snorted with disdain, forgetting that he was under great pressure at the time and would rather pull the carpet hair than lower Shen Jian's vigilance.
But Shen Jian didn't know what kind of large-scale drama was going on in the two people's heads. He was just sorting out his own thoughts.
The reason why he couldn't tell the original owner's former subordinates was simple. What made him determined to disrupt the upper-level layout was the news brought back by Xu Yinmo, and this news might expose him.
Rather, this news increased the suspicion that [Middle Ages] was the original owner's backup plan, so Shen Jian would not blurt it out now anyway.
but……
He didn't want to deceive them.
Shen Jian sighed, and finally spoke to break the silent confrontation, "Lan He."
Shen Lanhe suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Jian with a confused look.
Blue River…?
Shen Jian didn’t notice anything wrong at all, and explained in a low and helpless voice, “Xu Yinmo gave me a piece of news… [Middle Ages] is researching a very moving study.”
Shen Jian emphasized again, "Blue River is very attractive. Even if only some of the downward parts of the research are revealed, it is enough to attract the attention of many forces."
Chen Lanhe frowned and took a deep breath, feeling overwhelmed by the repeated calls of "Lanhe". She grabbed the carpet hair and clenched it tightly in her hands, almost unable to hold back the tears in her eyes.
He hadn't heard this name for many years... just like Shen Pingyan hadn't seen Shen Jian for many years.
"What, what research..." He managed to find the strength to hastily answer, his brain trying to function, "What...?"
Shen Jian sat in the chair and thought for a while, then stood up and walked to his subordinate who still had a dazed look in his eyes, squatted down on one knee, and looked directly at his subordinate's even more panicked and nervous expression.
Shen Lanhe heard the boss's erratic but steady voice ringing in his ears, and he comforted him with a magnetic smile: "If I tell you, you will definitely go crazy. Even if you pay any price, even if you stir up the world, you will kill the Middle Ages."
Shen An, who was notified to pick up Shen Lanhe, was startled and tilted his head visibly.
Shen Jian spoke quietly, but Shen An came from the battlefield, so he heard it completely, and so did Xu Yinmo.
"gentlemen?"
"Lan He, explain it to Shen An, and then explain it to them." Shen Jian returned to his seat and said helplessly, "Stop coming to me one by one to talk about this and that."
Blue River!? This name.
Shen An slightly widened his eyes and subconsciously took a step forward, "Sir..."
"Um?"
Shen Lanhe interrupted Shen An urgently: “Boss, we’ll go down first.”
He dragged away Shen An, who was obviously unwilling and wanted to say something, and took Xu Yinmo, who hadn't said a word, with him.
Shen Jian did not stop him. He gave Xu Yinmo and his old subordinates a reason for concealment that both sides could accept. They needed to communicate and digest it.
What’s more, Shen Jian could guess what Xu Yinmo was going to report.
Outside the door.
"Xu Yinmo." As soon as Chen Lanhe came out of the leader's room, he restrained his expression and called out coldly.
Xu Yinmo smiled, his long purple hair drooping down, and his half-exposed face when he looked back was very touching. Unfortunately, both of the people present were blind, and the moment they spoke, they were puzzled: "I am loyal to Chen Jian."
Chen Lanhe quickly replied: "But you should know that sometimes the boss would rather take it on himself."
Xu Yinmo didn't even stop this time: "Then you should also know that you would rather handle things on your own."
Chen Lanhe and Shen An were both silent. After a moment, the latter paused and subconsciously followed his body's reflexes to open the door where the noise came from.
I watched helplessly as a boss wrapped in a scarlet veil fell out.
Shen Lanhe: “…”
Shen An: “…”
Shen Jian, who wanted to go out for a walk, said: “…?”
Glancing at Xu Yinmo who hadn't walked far yet, Shen Jian pondered for three seconds, and very politely respected the privacy of his subordinates: "I was just about to come out to pour a cup of tea, you guys chat at will."
"Well... and, Lan He, you also ruined the carpet."
Then Shen Jian didn’t dare to look at the expressions of the two people, he quickly stood up and walked quickly from the other side.
