As Wen Qisheng finished speaking, several base higher-ups skilled in planning immediately sprang into action. One spy-elimination plan after another was drafted on the spot, fully displaying the terrifying nature of Chuan Yu Base's management system.

Watching the scene before him, Shen Yunlou somehow thought of Chu Han, and a strange feeling rose within him. The scene of a base's higher-ups working together must never be seen by Chu Han. Otherwise, that terrifying monster would definitely learn every bit of it, improve it, and then surpass Chuan Yu Base!

The more Shen Yunlou thought about it, the more likely it seemed. His body unconsciously tensed, and he became especially vigilant.

Wen Qisheng, who had seen this, suddenly smiled and asked, "Shen Yunlou, what did you think of that made you so nervous?"

"Thinking about getting a wife?" Chen Taonan suddenly interjected, filling the hall, which had been quiet enough to hear a pin drop, with stifled laughter.

Shen Yunlou's face darkened as he hurriedly explained, "How would I have time to think about that?"

"Don't think everyone doesn't know the rumors about you at Nandu Base." Chen Taonan grinned, taking advantage of the lull to joke with Shen Yunlou. "They say you're a sunny, warm-hearted guy—never initiating, never refusing, never explaining, welcoming anyone who comes? Hahaha!"

Shen Yunlou's expression immediately darkened further. He shot to his feet with a swish, his face flushed red. "When did that ever happen? I clearly have no embarrassing romantic history! Someone took advantage of that and deliberately smeared me!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter again.

Yet amid the relaxed laughter, Shen Yunlou suddenly thought of something. His face abruptly turned terrified. "Wait, what did I just say?"

"You were so busy thinking about a wife that you forgot what you said?" Chen Taonan teased.
