Chapter 72 Turbulent Times [Seriously Requesting Recommendation Votes]



While Gao Gao was still carefully studying the details of the giant squid in the hotel, a short video was released online and quickly spread, even trending on social media.

Giant squid spotted off the coast of Asia-Pacific region!

"A terrifying tentacle monster instantly capsizes the yacht; a terrifying sea monster is attacking!"

"Hype, hype again! Some places will stop at nothing to attract tourists!"

Unsurprisingly, the screenshots or videos of the giant squid's tentacles extending out of the sea surface went viral instantly.

Just as the entire internet was hotly discussing this matter, the number of videos and pictures online gradually decreased at a visible rate.

By evening, it had become so calm that not even a ripple could be made.

Even if someone re-edits and sends the photos or videos stored on their phone, it's like throwing a stone into the sea.

Without clicks or likes, it's as if no one can see these videos or pictures.

Because even bigger news has been revealed: A certain celebrity cheated on his girlfriend with a third party!

This topic is far more sensational than any giant squid, and with solid evidence from the well-known paparazzi Mou Wei, it quickly propelled the topic to the top of the trending searches.

Just as everyone was engrossed in gossiping, the Asia-Pacific Tourism Bureau secretly issued a statement:

"The online rumor about a giant sea monster appearing off the coast of Asia-Pacific region has been verified to be a clip from a monster movie released some time ago..."

There's a whole bunch of stuff, even other news like celebrity endorsements and so on.

In short: Asia III is fine, and the monster is fake.

By this time, netizens' attention had long been drawn away by celebrity gossip, and they didn't care whether the monster was real or fake, or what it had to do with them.

It's as if they'd go on a trip just because the monsters are fake.

Don't forget what time it is now. Back then, everyone was staying at home, wishing they could work from home and travel virtually. Whoever wanted to go could go.

The situation has calmed down domestically, but it's a different story abroad.

Some busybodies then reposted the video and pictures to external websites, which caused quite a stir.

After just one night of hype, the video and topic of the giant squid have climbed to the top of the most popular charts on Facebook and YouTube.

After a night of contemplation, Gao Ang managed to give a rough summary of the giant squid.

July 11th, sunny day, location: Assam City;

They encountered a strange thing, or rather, a monster: a giant squid;

I suspect it, like the little flower, is also a mutated creature, for the following reasons:

1. Highly intelligent, non-aggressive;

2. They are quite close to me, and even like Xiaohua, they can determine my location through some means;

But it is different from Xiaohua; it cannot communicate with me, or rather, I cannot understand what it is trying to express.

Furthermore, this monster seems to want to get close to me, but is deliberately keeping a certain distance.

The reason I say it keeps its distance from me is because Gao Feng recalled some details.

That is, when it approached the two people who had fallen into the water, the giant squid did not come closer, but immediately retracted its tentacles and hid far away, so far that Gao Gao thought it had escaped.

But when he finished his work and occasionally looked into the water, he discovered that the guy hadn't gone far. He had been hanging underwater for a long time until they were almost close to the shore, when he disappeared.

Its behavior can only be explained by a mixture of curiosity and wariness.

Driven by its intense curiosity, it cleverly overturned the man's motorboat, causing the accident in order to attract Gao Long's attention.

Because of its wariness, it chose to avoid Gao Li when Gao Li actually came before it.

[List the giant squid as the second Little Flower, and come back to check on it after the equity transfer procedures are completed. Hopefully, it will still be there;]

Besides, playing cards is really boring, since it's all open-ended.

Unless these people place blinds, the reflection in their big eyes or the background wall behind them completely reveals their hand.

This activity is completely unchallenging and utterly boring.

Before taking a break, Gao Ang and Xia Weiwei sent a video.

Of course, it wasn't about flirting. He was mainly worried about Xiaohua. They'd been out for so long, and he was concerned about whether she'd gotten into trouble or was hungry.

After learning his purpose, Xia Weiwei frowned unhappily. "Is that all?"

"Yeah, that guy's a bit unruly. I need to teach him a lesson."

"Wait."

The camera on the phone swayed back and forth, but unfortunately, Xia Weiwei was too conservative. Even in the middle of summer, she was wearing long-sleeved pajamas and pants, giving Gao Feng no chance to feast his eyes.

"Has Xiaohua been causing any trouble lately?"

"..."

"You didn't let it go hungry, did you?"

"..."

"Tsk," Gao Ang smacked his lips, then wisely shut his mouth.

Although they haven't known each other for very long, he has already figured out a bit about this woman's personality: she won't bother with anything she's not interested in.

As for what could pique her interest, Gao Feng pondered this question for a long time.

The cause of her father's death or the mastermind behind it is definitely one point;

Shopping? I guess that counts too;

Braised pork belly? That's a bit absurd.

A criminal case? It should count, but the motives weren't pure; she was more interested in using it for promotion so that she could reopen the investigation into her father's case as soon as possible.

"Meow."

A meow interrupted my deep thoughts, and a cute cat head appeared on my phone.

"Hey little guy, did you miss me?"

He waved to Xiaohua, and Gao Ang felt a long-lost sense of warmth at that moment.

It's a strange feeling; it's neither kinship nor friendship, but it's that kind of deep-seated intimacy.

"Meow." The sound contained grievance and dissatisfaction, and you could even see resentment in its eyes.

"Oh, don't be so sad. Your older brother will be going back in a few days. He'll bring you delicious food, deer antler, ginseng, and mink fur. He'll even make you a mink cat bed later, how about that?"

Ang Gao quickly offered a few words of comfort, fearing that if this guy started making a scene, he would not only turn the house upside down, but also be taken away for research, which would be a disaster.

"Meow."

Little Flower seemed to understand what a video phone was all about; it didn't touch its paws, but just stuck out its little tongue and licked the phone screen a few times.

Xia Weiwei, leaning against the door frame, frowned again. She began to wonder if she should get a new phone.

"Hey, Xia, thank you for your hard work these next few days. Make sure to prepare some good food for Xiaohua. Thank you for your hard work."

"Hmm," Gao Ang said, before he could say anything more, the other end of the line hung up.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up on, Gao Feng shook his head helplessly.

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; it cannot be fathomed.

When it's dark in China, it's daytime on the other side of the ocean.

Zhen Feitian, the former president of TS Group, who was far away in the United States, also accidentally saw the video of the giant squid.

Taking out his phone, Zhen Feitian dialed a number.

"What is it?" Lillian's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Have you seen that video about East Asia's third region?

"Yes, I've seen it."

"You can go there tomorrow; you might find something useful."

Holding a cigar between his right fingers and sniffing it lightly, Zhen Fei said something casually.

“Hey Zhen, I’m not your subordinate, so don’t try to boss me around.”

Lillian, suppressing her anger, spoke through gritted teeth on the other end of the phone.

“Miss Dort, it’s much more convenient for you to be in the country. Besides, I’m guessing there will be a lot of action going on. If you don’t go, and we lose another test subject, it will have a big impact on our plans.”

Zhen Feitian's tone remained as calm as ever, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Hmph, you think you're so powerful? After all these years in the US, you don't have any wealth?"

"Of course, I will also send some people over, which may take about a day longer than you."

"knew."

Playing with his phone after hanging up, Zhen Feitian slowly lay back in his office chair, stretched his legs onto the desk, and groaned contentedly, "Everything is fine now."

Late at night in Kyoto, at the base of the Zhongshan suit group.

"Team leader, I have some bad news for you."

"Go ahead and say it," the short-haired, sophisticated woman said, taking a sip of coffee before flicking the forehead at one of her team members who had been teasing her.

"Ouch, you hit me on the head again... My application to use Skynet was rejected..." After saying that, he glanced weakly at his team leader, afraid that he would get another flick on the head.

"I know, it makes sense, it's not the first time anyway."

The short-haired woman slid to another computer with her feet. "Since there's no Skynet, let's calculate it manually. Oh, and arrange the next available flight for us. We're going to Asia Pacific tomorrow."

"Passenger plane or...?"

"Let's make it a dedicated flight route. Send the word that we'll depart at five o'clock tomorrow."

As soon as the news was released, the office was filled with wailing and howling.

"No way, team leader, five o'clock again? Five o'clock again?"

"If you ask me, why don't we just set off now and rest over there?"

"Exactly! We work ourselves to the bone, and they won't even let us use the Skynet system. They want the horse to run, but they won't feed it..."

The burly man and the skinny man kept complaining, muttering things that clearly weren't nice.

“You’re not new to this group. Our bureau isn’t high-level to begin with, so it’s already good enough that they’ve given us a dedicated flight route,” the elegant woman said, packing up documents and materials without turning her head. “We know our own limitations. Foreign organizations and institutions have been developing for many years longer than us, and their technology and experience are far ahead of ours. You can imagine how difficult it will be for us to achieve results.”

"But then again, why should we be granted higher privileges if we don't have any achievements?"

"Why should we get a raise if we don't achieve anything? You guys can complain all you want, but don't you dare cut corners on your work."

After saying her last sentence, the short-haired woman pointed at the two men and gave them a warning.

"No way, we were just venting. Don't worry, team leader, we'll be on time tomorrow."

While Gao Ang was fast asleep, it seemed that things were already starting to change around him.

The next day was Sunday. While others were sleeping in at home, Gao Ang and his group boarded a 10 a.m. flight to Harbin.

"Actually, I really like Northeast China. It's a vast and resource-rich region, and it also has Wang Jianguo."

"Um?"

Du Yi was completely taken aback by Gao Ang's question, "Who is Wang Jianguo?"

"It's just a stand-up comedian's line, don't take it seriously. Actually, what I like most is skiing. Skiing here feels completely different from other places."

Gao Ang began to reminisce about his time in college, when he used his tutoring money to sneak out to go skiing during winter break.

Back then, we were young and mischievous, and we were incredibly enthusiastic about these kinds of exciting activities.

He clearly remembered that it was one of his roommates who had persuaded him, saying that girls from Northeast China were great, not only with amazing figures but also with superb looks.

At that time, he hadn't met his first love yet, but he was thinking that he might have a romantic encounter in the snow at the ski resort.

Encouraged by his roommate, he, who couldn't ski at all, stood at the top of the ski slope and aimed at the beautiful figure in the crowd below:

Aim and fire!

As we sped along the ski slope, the wind whistled past our ears, and the surrounding pine forest flashed by.

The beautiful figure in my eyes was getting closer and closer.

"Bang!"

The two collided, causing people to fall to the ground, alas, yet they shouted with great excitement.

"Hahaha, you've got this kind of trick up your sleeve? You've gotten yourself beaten up a lot, haven't you?"

Du Yibing's melodious laughter, as clear as a bell, rang out. She hadn't expected her junior brother to have such an extreme way of courting death.

People from Northeast China have notoriously fiery tempers, so how could he not get beaten up?
