Chapter 61: The Midnight Explosion of the Liver
The arrangement came quickly. According to Ye Hui, the appearance of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Camel completely alarmed the higher-ups of the Meteorological Bureau, and a private jet rushed to North City. Three hours later, Ye Hui brought everyone to an office building in North City.
The office building was neither tall nor short, with a rather plain appearance. Once inside, there was nothing notable. Ye Hui led everyone to a rundown employee elevator in the basement parking lot. She took out her work card and swiped it on a slot next to the elevator, causing the elevator to start up, but it went down instead of up.
After the elevator ran for a while, it seemed to have descended three or four floors. Then the elevator doors opened, revealing a very spacious underground base that was exceptionally modern. Many staff members were coming and going. They nodded slightly at Ye Hui to greet her but did not say much.
"This is the base of the Extreme Weather Response Management Bureau located in North City. The location of this base and everything you see here is a state secret, so please obey the law and do not disclose anything you see here!"
If it were truly a state secret, they wouldn’t have brought us here; this is clearly a semi-public facility, Shan Jingshou thought with a slight smirk. He understood it well, while Long Aotian was okay, but Mugang Xian and the others looked uneasy, especially Shan Jingshou.
At that moment, he realized what it meant for him as the young gang leader of a superpower crime group to step into the Meteorological Bureau. It was like a wanted criminal opening a convenience store directly across from the police station—a dangerous act, and he instantly felt sweat forming on his forehead.
Ye Hui looked at Shan Jingshou with a half-smile, clearly knowing his background, but she said nothing. She led everyone to a deep office within the base and pushed the door open.
Behind a spacious desk sat a middle-aged man with messy hair, a serious face, and a hint of coldness. His thin physique and hands were crossed under his chin. Behind his slightly reflective glasses was a gaze that revealed a cold and probing outlook.
"Master, this is the head of our department, Ye Yuantang!"
Ye Hui introduced quickly, and just as she was about to introduce Bai Qige and the others to Ye Yuantang, she was interrupted. Ye Yuantang said, "Master Wet Dream, I have heard of your great name! And you all, Mugang Xian, Mugong Yan, Gongcheng Liang, Shan Jingshou, Long Aotian! It’s a pleasure to meet you."
It was Bai Qige’s first time seeing someone greet others with such a cold tone. The words, the expression, even the gaze had no warmth, like a robot. Bai Qige’s first reaction was that this person was very difficult and could hide his feelings deeply. When he spoke, it gave a strong impression that he had complete control of all their information; it was a silent show of power.
"Amitabha! I have met Section Chief Ye!" Although he knew this person might be tricky, Bai Qige showed no fear and politely bowed with his hands together, then curiously asked,
"Section Chief Ye and Ye Hui share the same surname, Ye, and they look somewhat similar. Are you two related?"
"Ye Hui is my daughter, but there’s no need to say much about that. In fact, even without the incident in North City, I planned to come and discuss some matters with you."
Ye Yuantang’s tone remained cold, but his gaze focused sharply on Long Aotian. The latter felt a chill; upon realizing Ye Yuantang was Ye Hui’s father, he felt a bit uncomfortable. Every man feels a little awkward when meeting their future father-in-law for the first time after winning over his daughter; it’s a natural feeling!
Ye Yuantang then turned his gaze to Shan Jingshou and said coldly, "Classmate Shan Jingshou, after the last basketball game, your father went through many channels to send me a message, hoping to give you some leniency. Since you are still young, go back and behave yourself. Erase those misguided teachings thoroughly, or there won’t be a next time!"
His gaze then shifted to Mugang Xian, Mugong Yan, and Gongcheng Liang. He said coldly, "Three classmates, even though you have great abilities now, I hope you will still remember the boundaries set by the law. You should know that if the person you injured a while ago gathers together to sue you, it could land you in prison for many years and make you bankrupt! For now, let’s put this matter aside, but I hope to never hear news of the Three Beasts of Canglan causing trouble and fighting again."
Mugang Xian and the others felt very innocent; they did not choose to be in this situation. Bai Qige squinted slightly, and Ye Yuantang stood to the side, speaking to Shan Jingshou and Mugang Xian in words that seemed both threatening and comforting, showing off his authority.
He is a man who is very strong-willed, always wanting to take control of everything!
Bai Qige formed his first impression of Ye Yuantang in his mind, keeping a calm expression and gentle smile until Ye Yuantang finally looked at Bai Qige and said:
"Master, people always try every possible way to communicate with each other, and in this process, they exert all their energy to peek into the genuine thoughts of others. But slowly, they forget why they want to communicate at all. Don’t you think it is sad to turn things upside down like this?"
Playing mind games? Trying to be clever in front of me? Bai Qige coldly laughed inside but kept his expression unchanged, kindly saying, "Please speak plainly; it’s hard for me to understand such modern and artistic words. If you repeat it in old-fashioned language, I would know how to respond!"
Ye Yuantang was silent for a moment and then said, "I believe the true purpose of communication is to obtain an unambiguous truth. Luckily, maybe it’s a blessing from the gods or the favor of Buddhas, I have a superpower for effective communication. I can tell the truthfulness of anything you say. So, Master, let us have a conversation that benefits us both!"
The Meteorological Bureau, as a Supernatural Organization, had a director who was also a Psychic. This was not surprising to Bai Qige, but it was quite unexpected that Ye Yuantang’s superpower was a human lie detector. However, Bai Qige remained unmoved, even showing a hint of delight.
"Very good, very good! Your superpower is very useful; I was worried that what I had to say would be hard for people to believe!"
"Please go ahead!" Ye Yuantang did not respond directly, raising his hands slightly with his fingers crossed under his nose. His eyes were completely hidden behind reflective glasses, giving off a cold, pressing presence, as if warning Bai Qige not to lie.
"The little alien monsters have started to invade Earth. The only way to stop this disaster is to immediately launch a nuclear bomb to turn North City into ruins, which will eliminate the alien monsters’ advance troops."
Ye Yuantang heard this and was silent for several seconds. Then he took off his glasses with one hand, rubbed his temples with the other, and loudly clapped his hands over his ears, as if trying to clear away the dust that was obstructing his hearing. He put his glasses back on and assumed a cold expression once more.
"Master, please repeat that. I might not have heard you clearly!"
"The monk said that the alien monsters’ advance troops have started invading Earth. To stop them, we must immediately inform the king and have him launch a nuclear bomb to turn North City into ruins! But this will only stop the advance troops. To completely prevent the alien monster army from fully invading Earth is not enough. It is highly likely that this could lead to a global nuclear war. Therefore, I suggest that Section Chief Ye immediately report to the king so he can use all the strength of the Yanhuang Empire to build interstellar immigration ships. Only by leaving Earth can we avoid the fierce attack of the alien monster army!"
This time, Ye Yuantang reacted quickly. He directly picked up the phone on his desk, made a call, and coldly said:
"Little Li, I know you are on vacation today, shopping with your wife. I need to speak to her! Madam, you and Little Li have been married for four months and you are already pregnant. Is the child his? Very well, you are lying. Who is the child’s father? Is he someone Little Li knows? You are lying again. It seems that he is indeed someone Little Li knows. Put Little Li on the phone! Little Li, the child in your wife’s belly is Old Wang’s next door. You should prepare for a divorce!"
With a snap, he hung up the phone and maintained his cold expression, saying, "Very good, it seems my superpower is working fine!"
