The Great Shun Delegation was returning home. Starting half an hour ago, bits and pieces of news had been arriving, but they were all scattered, disconnected, and sometimes even contradictory.
After all, the Federation had sealed off information from the scene. Moreover, Great Shun had not sent an observation group along this time, so most intelligence could only be relayed indirectly through agents planted around the observation groups of various countries.
The situation at the scene was simply too complex, compounded by severe information interference, making it difficult to transmit the most accurate account all at once.
There was clearly little point in discussing news whose truth could not be determined, so everyone waited for the final report.
After a long while, Jiang Hongzhi's assistant entered from outside, his face lit with joy. "Head Jiang, we have news. The Federation has withdrawn."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's attention snapped toward him.
The assistant took out another hastily bound document and presented it with both hands. "The detailed report is here."
Jiang Hongzhi accepted the report and began reading it carefully, but nothing could be read from his expression.
Tu Haisheng found it hard to believe. Though he admired Chen Chuan's courage and resolve, he had not believed Chen Chuan could truly succeed. So why had the Federation withdrawn?
Had Director Chen really stopped the Federation's operation?
Head Xie and Deputy Head Lu were comparatively calm. Along the way, they had witnessed Chen Chuan accomplish many miracles. Though stopping the Federation seemed almost impossible on the surface, they simply had faith in him.
Chu Zhixian sat silently to one side. His expression was blank, but his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Had the Federation really withdrawn so easily?
Was it really because Chen Chuan had stopped them?
