The section chief glanced at the document in Yang Yi's hand and recalled that this was indeed the case. He raised his hand and said, "Sure. Just leave it on my desk. I have a guest here, so you can leave first."
The section chief did not look at him again. Instead, he gestured for the middle-aged man to take a seat.
The middle-aged man's eyes lingered on Yang Yi for two seconds after he sat down.
Yang Yi pretended not to notice. He placed the report on the desk and left the office.
The sound of the door closing came from the door.
"That person just now …" Shangguan Hou asked thoughtfully.
The section chief poured him a glass of water. "He's Little Zhu from our technical department. Although he has only been in the base for slightly more than a year, he is pretty capable."
Shangguan Hou thanked him. "No wonder he looks unfamiliar."
The section chief smiled and explained. "You rarely come to the technical department, so it's normal that you don't know him."
"That's true." Shangguan Hou nodded and did not probe further. Instead, he reminded the section chief. "But you have to be more careful when checking the card controls. We don't want anyone to sneak in."
When the section chief heard this, his face turned solemn. "Did something happen?"
"Nothing. I suddenly recalled that the medical research department was bombed last year," said Shangguan Hou calmly. "It's always good to be more strict."
"Sure. I will take note." The technical section chief felt that Shangguan Hou would not mention it for no reason. Since he mentioned it, there must be a reason.
Shangguan Hou pursed his lips slightly and quickly brought up other matters.
Half an hour later, he left the technical section chief's office. When he passed by the outer workshop, he did not see Little Zhu.
Shangguan Hou glanced at him and left. He took the elevator down to the first floor and pondered about something before heading back to his lab.
Before long, Shangguan Hou walked out of the lab with his hands in his coat pockets.
His coat pockets were bulkier than usual, as though he was carrying something inside.
Someone came looking for him the moment he walked out of the lab.
"Mr. Shangguan, the higher-ups want you to go to the central department."
Shangguan Hou looked at the person and was stunned. "Now?"
The person nodded respectfully. "Yes, now."
"Did they say what they wanted?" Shangguan Hou's hands were still in his pockets.
"I'm not too sure about that, but it seems to be a meeting."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hou did not ask any further. "I understand. I'll head over now."
Soon, they arrived at the central department.
When Shangguan Hou entered the conference room, the meeting had already begun. The lights in the entire conference room were switched off, and a virtual universe was projected on the multi-dimensional projection screen.
The Multidimensional Projection Technology was very realistic. When people stood there, it was as if they were really there.
With just a glance, Shangguan Hou understood what everyone was discussing.
He walked over silently, pulled out a chair and sat down.
At the head of the table was the leader of the first base, King. He looked to be in his forties at most, with black hair and black eyes. His face was cold, and his aura was extraordinary.
It matched his self-proclaimed name quite well. He was like a king who looked down on all living beings.
His gaze swept across Shangguan Hou, who had just sat down, and he said indifferently, "You mentioned a key last time. Do you have a conclusion?"
