Dong!
A muffled sound exploded in Xing Bian's office.
His right fist slammed heavily on the desk. Even the holographic screen suspended in front of him took a while to stabilize. Xing Bian suddenly stood up from his chair, stared at the liaison officer standing in front of the desk, and yelled.
"Academician Lu was kidnapped?!"
"It's not certain at the moment, but from the scene, his room has been searched." Looking at the angry expression on his boss's face, the liaison officer gulped and said tremblingly, "Our intelligence personnel in Tiangong City are collecting information about his whereabouts in the group, but so far we have not found any reliable clues."
After hearing these words, the expression on Xing Bian's face was a little ugly.
Not to mention the achievements of Lu Zhou in the world academic community and his status comparable to Jesus, the role he played in the space elevator project was enough to reflect his importance to Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Without even half a second of hesitation, he immediately ordered.
"Immediately inform all intelligence personnel in Tiangong City to investigate the whereabouts of Academician Lu in the shortest time!"
"Yes, sir!"
The liaison officer saluted. He was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take two steps, he was called back by Xing Bian.
"Wait a minute!"
Looking back at his boss, the liaison officer quickly asked.
"Is there anything else?"
Xing Bian: "Where's Wang Peng? I remember that guy is also on Mars. "
The liaison officer's expression was a little awkward. He lowered his head and whispered quickly.
"He … seemed to say he was going to find Academician Lu, and then he disappeared."
"This guy …"
As soon as Xing Bian heard these words, he suddenly knew something was wrong.
The situation on Mars was far more complicated than just The Spirit of The Universe Foundation.
Including the hijacking of flight N-177 that the bureau had been investigating, there had been an unexpected reversal.
If he alerted the enemy at this time, it would lead to very serious consequences.
Don't do anything impulsive …
Xing Bian gritted his teeth. After sending the liaison officer away, he reached out and tapped twice on the holographic screen in front of him.
Soon, a video call window appeared in front of him.
The person standing in the video window was wearing a black exoskeleton armor. Judging from the few targets behind him, the location should be at the training ground.
Casting his gaze to Xing Bian across the screen, the man asked.
"What can I do for you?"
Without a word of greeting, Xing Bian went straight to the point.
"I have a tricky matter here, and I need your help."
"Dispatching the Aerospace Marine Corps requires the joint authorization of the Congress and the Military Committee. You've got the wrong person."
Xing Bian continued expressionlessly.
"That's for outside the borders, not within the borders. According to Article 27 of the Special Intelligence Act, in the event of a major threat to the security of a regional alliance or member state, the security department has the right to request support from the Aerospace Forces without going through the normal authorization process. "
The visor of the helmet was removed, and Li Gaoliang's face appeared under the shadow of the helmet.
Staring intently at Xing Bian in the holographic window, he said in a serious tone.
"What's going on? If I remember correctly, we just helped you for a while a month ago. "
"Academician Lu is missing, and according to the information we have collected, it is very likely that he was kidnapped." Xing Bian continued in response to the scrutinizing gaze, "Now he is the only person who has mastered warp speed technology, and he is also the chief consultant of the space elevator. Isn't this a big problem? Or do you want me to submit an application level by level through the normal procedure? "
"Academician Lu was kidnapped?"
Li Gaoliang's face sank instantly.
Without hesitation, he turned around to look at the soldiers training behind him and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Training is over!"
Like a tightened clockwork, the moment he gave the order, the soldiers who were training had stopped their movements and quickly lined up together.
Li Gaoliang raised his eyelids and glanced at Xing Bian in the holographic window. He spoke in a serious tone.
"I hope your information is accurate."
"I can guarantee it with my life."
Li Gaoliang nodded, turned off the holographic screen, turned his eyes to his brothers, and ordered in a sonorous voice.
"Everyone, board the ship with me.
"Get ready to work!"
…
Tiangong City Hall.
Inside the mayor's office.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Mayor Xue's eyes widened. After a while, he spoke in an incredulous tone.
"He's … gone?"
"Yes." Gao Ruiming nodded and said solemnly, "I was going to talk to him about cooperation, but when I got to his room, the person inside was gone."
Xiao Hong's gaze instantly sharpened, with a hint of vigilance.
"Could it be that he noticed something?"
"Impossible." Gao Ruiming shook his head and continued, "His luggage is still in his room, and he didn't take a single piece with him. Even the day before, he went to the Europa project discussion meeting. If he noticed something, he definitely wouldn't be so calm … "
Xiao Hong immediately said, "What if he's pretending to be calm?"
Gao Ruiming: "Then it can only be said that his anti-reconnaissance ability is beyond our imagination, but that's obviously impossible! Listen, he's just a scholar, not an agent of the Security Bureau. We all know that he's smart, but reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance abilities don't rely on intelligence, but experience! "
"Enough! I don't care if he's smart, has received special training, or discovered something by coincidence. The crux of the problem now is that he's gone! " Standing up from the office chair, Xiao Hong walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. While pacing back and forth in the office, he said in an annoyed tone, "Do you know what this means? This means that our plan has been completely disrupted! He may be the only person in the world who has mastered warp speed technology! If we can't control him, we will have no chance of winning! "
Looking at Mayor Xiao, who was upset, Gao Ruiming comforted him.
"It's not that pessimistic. At least we can be sure that he is still on Mars. I propose that we immediately notify our customs and other colonial cities to suspend Lu Zhou's entry and exit passport. Once his whereabouts are discovered, inform us immediately. "
Stopping by the floor-to-ceiling window, Mayor Xiao looked at the prosperous future city outside the window and his own reflection on the floor-to-ceiling window. He was silent for a long time, seemingly hesitating about something.
Restrict Lu Zhou from leaving the country.
If there was no suitable reason, with the identity of this big shot, this might lead to a direct rupture between Tiangong City and the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Although in their plans, this was something that would happen sooner or later, for the sake of an uncertain warp drive technology, whether it was worth it to completely disrupt all plans and bring it forward to now was something that needed to be considered.
Seeing that Mayor Xue was hesitating, Gao Ruiming immediately added a sentence after the previous remarks.
"There is no time for us to hesitate! Do you think that even if we don't do anything, the Pan-Asian Cooperation will relax its vigilance against us? I can guarantee that you will still be the mayor, and I will still be your secretary, but our Tiangong will no longer be the free Tiangong, but a special economic zone of the Pan-Asian Cooperation! "
Perhaps he was moved by the last sentence, Mayor Xue finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Do as you say … In addition, use all the resources we can use to find his whereabouts in Tiangong City! You will be personally responsible for this matter! "
Gao Ruiming nodded solemnly.
"I'll do it now!"
