"No matter how great and glorious the war is, it is not as good as the most mediocre peace." After saying this, Chen Hui stood up from the bathtub and cheered up again.
She plans to continue working in the laboratory and start new research. Her data reserves are all on the Peacemaker, and the Titan-class battleship has been destroyed.
But she still has memory, which allows Master Psionics to explore her memory and reproduce all the memories of the area where she wreaked havoc in Swarm. This is a starting point for research.
Before she could dry herself off and put on clothes, Chen Hui's personal terminal rang, and then she left a voice message.
"Dr. Chen, we are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Someone has reported that your behavior involves national security. It is of great importance. Can you please come to the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? The special car is already on the way."
Chen Hui frowned. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a good place. As the name suggests, they are responsible for all kinds of domestic tasks and political work. Some dirty work of internal cleanup and arresting spies are within their scope of authority.
Nothing good will come of dealing with them, but they have too much power for Chen Hui to refuse. When she entered the business world, she had several business wars, and it was normal for her to be hated by others.
But Chen Hui believes that she is not afraid of shadows. Although she has handed over the company, it is impossible to frame her through slander.
With this mentality, Chen Hui sat in the interrogation room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, raising her head proudly. She just wanted to end these matters as soon as possible and then go to the laboratory to do research.
In the bright interrogation room, Chen Hui waited for a long time. It wasn't until the familiar footsteps and figure came in through the door that her calm expression became surprised.
The person who came in was Zhang Zihao. He has now been promoted to a first-class general, and there are rumors that he will be named a marshal. Zhang Zihao is now in his prime, how could he come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
"Asking the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to turn off any recording system, recording, video, etc. will not work. Everyone should go out. I need to talk to Dr. Chen alone." After entering the door, Zhang Zihao ordered the entourage behind him.
"Zhang Zihao, General Zhang. Haven't you been on TV recently giving speeches to various cities? It's rare that a great hero like you would take the time to come here?"
Chen Hui became serious and positioned herself, "Could it be that I'm really in big trouble this time... What reason do you plan to use to shoot me this time?"
In order to prevent his followers from hearing anything, Zhang Zihao quickly pushed them out and closed the door. The persona he had just given serious instructions to his subordinates immediately collapsed.
"Dr. Chen, don't talk nonsense. I never thought of shooting you." Zhang Zihao looked frightened. It seemed that he was really afraid that what Chen Hui just said would be overheard.
"Hmph, half of the fleet that came back with me, the soldiers who were abandoned by you, told me all your bad intentions. Tell me, what's the matter?" Chen Hui hated Zhang Zihao more and more.
After seeing Chen Hui's attitude, Zhang Zihao also felt guilty. He carefully sat down opposite Chen Hui. After sorting out his thoughts, he said, "Dr. Chen, you know that the general election will be held in half a month."
"Originally, because of our return, the support rate of civilized leaders has increased significantly, and we should be sure to win this election. However, something unexpected happened..."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Zihao finally told the truth.
"These accidents were mainly caused by the soldiers in the fleet who were left behind. They were very dissatisfied that your achievements were concealed by publicity, so they kept posting relevant videos online in an attempt to win you the hero treatment for saving the fleet."
"Your father was once the leader of the opposition party, so the opposition party took advantage of this to attack civilized leaders for lying and undermine the government's credibility. Of course, these are all means. They want to attract votes and win the election is the real purpose."
Chen Hui's expression became even more disdainful. She didn't care about her reputation or being treated as a hero. After repeatedly watching the test records with Narga, Chen Hui was more attracted to Chen Hui than the fame and fortune.
"That's your problem. Don't worry about me. My father has passed away a long time ago. I have my own experiments to do. If you also have relevant academic qualifications, I wouldn't mind chatting with you about research."
Zhang Zihao's submissive look just now became tougher, and he sat upright. "Dr. Chen, civilized leaders don't want to lose the election. The opposition party is just taking advantage of your popularity. In fact, you have nothing to do with them.
Allowing them to govern is far inferior to the ability of civilization leaders, and is irresponsible to Sapphire Civilization. You are a person who can consider the future of civilization, and I saw it when you saved the expedition fleet."
"So, Dr. Chen, we hope you can make a public statement to distance yourself from the opposition parties. They may invite you to join, or even offer you to succeed your father as party leader, but we hope you can refuse."
"Hahaha, why? Although I don't want to participate in the election and have no interest in politics, I am very relieved to see you all distressed, so I will not help you."
After finishing speaking, Chen Hui clasped her hands under her chest and looked cooperative.
Chen Hui's non-cooperation really made things difficult for Zhang Zihao. The general election is too important. Now is the critical moment of life and death for the future of civilization. It is absolutely impossible to hand over power to the opposition party.
"Dr. Chen, you are the pride of our civilization. Whether you are a scientist or a businessman, your achievements are legendary. Even now, you have donated everything, your name represents influence, and not only in the sapphire civilization, but in the entire Stellaris Council, you have huge popularity."
Zhang Zihao's expression became serious and cold. He had a back-up plan. He believed that his back-up plan could force Chen Hui to surrender, just like on the Peace Messenger.
"We don't want to be enemies like you, but for the sake of the future of civilization, we have to do something that goes against our conscience." After saying that, Zhang Zihao took a small terminal from his wrist. He was prepared.
The small terminal placed on the table projected a picture of a beautiful Ivansian, playing news about the killing of the customs deformed Zerg.
Just when Chen Hui looked confused, her expression seemed to say, "That's it? Are you kidding me? What does this have to do with me?"
Immediately afterwards, another picture of Chen Hui working in the laboratory was shown. These were exquisitely edited pictures with subtitles on the side of the picture.
The exquisite editing and deliberately guided explanations make it appear that Chen Hui is not leading the experiment, but is doing some incomprehensible and weird experiments under the orders of Ultralisk.
