"Oh, why should I send you?"

Xing Lan asked, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.

Feng Xuan proudly tossed his head, casually put his phone in his pocket, sat down, pointed to himself, and...

"I graduated from university at the age of twelve, and completed all the postgraduate courses by the age of sixteen."

He was also invited to participate in the programming and production of the artificial intelligence [Satellite], and was the youngest and most talented core member at the time.

Xing Lan and Ye Ciqing were speechless with shock; wasn't this exactly the kind of child that everyone admired?

"Then why are you still here?"

Xing Lan's slightly trembling reply prompted Feng Xuan to sigh helplessly.

"After I finished making the [Satellite], I was definitely given a lot of money. I used that money to stay at home playing games. I didn't look for a job or go out."

As a result, my husband dragged me into the army, and then because the higher-ups discovered that I could actually fly a reconnaissance plane, they assigned me here."

Feng Xuan took a sip of his drink, and the thought of his father made him so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

"Tch~ You talk a big game, but you're just a typical internet addict."

"That's still much better than you, a country bumpkin born in a poor rural area!"

Liu Xiaogang scoffed, "We're still in the same team, aren't we? I started so much worse than you, but I still managed to catch up. And you? Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Hey! Gangzi, I think you're tired of living!"

He lunged forward, grabbing Liu Xiaogang by the neck with both hands. Liu Xiaogang was equally fierce, grabbing his long hair with one hand and frantically squeezing his forehead with the other.

The two men were pinned to the ground and engaged in a frantic standoff.

Ye Ciqing, who was watching from the side, kept clapping and cheering.

Sun Hai tapped the table twice, signaling the two to stop.

They stopped fighting, exchanged threatening glances, straightened their clothes, and sat back down.

"So what are your plans? Go alone, or take the entire investigation team?"

Sun Hai asked Feng Xuan casually, and Feng Xuan smiled and looked at Sun Hai.

"Captain, isn't that a pointless question? I'm the only one in the team who can fly a plane. If I leave, what will happen if there's an emergency? I'll definitely have to take you guys with me."

Sun Hai nodded slightly and said nothing more.

As Feng Xuan ate his meal, thinking about tomorrow's destination, he first smiled excitedly, then felt a little regretful.

"This place is known as the electronics city, but unfortunately I'm too busy to visit..."

The next morning.

After getting up and washing up early in the morning, everyone boarded a plane to Guangshen City B, a place known as Great Xia Electronics City.

The black plane streaked quickly through the air before slowly slowing down.

Looking distressed, Si Xiaobei against Nanming and, seeing the plane slow down, chewed gum and asked Feng Xuan:

"Are we almost there...?"

Feng Xuan was also chewing gum, nodded. "We've arrived, and we're descending now."

Ye Ciqing pressed his face against the glass and looked down.

The plane was slowly descending, and directly below them was a tall building with an aircraft platform.

On the platform stood a middle-aged man dressed in a dignified suit, with a scruffy beard.

The plane descended slowly, and the turbulent air currents caused the middle-aged man's suit jacket to flutter wildly.

But he himself remains completely unaffected, like a statue standing there.

The plane landed on the platform, and everyone slowly walked out of the plane. The moment Hela saw the middle-aged man, she shrank behind Xing Lan and touched the gem on her wrist.

"Hello, Captain Sun."

The middle-aged man showed no sign of anything amiss, stepped forward, and extended his hand to greet Sun Hai.

"Hello, Commander Zhou."

Sun Hai extended his hand to shake hands with Commander Zhou.

Commander Zhou glanced at the rest of the team behind Sun Hai and smiled with satisfaction.

"Excellent, Captain Sun. The Special Investigation Squad, which almost disbanded due to a lack of manpower, has grown so much under your leadership."

"I was just lucky there."

Faced with Commander Zhou's praise, Sun Hai shook his head indifferently.

"Hello, Commander Zhou Fan."

Feng Xuan also stepped forward to greet him, but his address and tone were noticeably less polite than Sun Hai's; it looked more like a greeting between friends.

Zhou Fan smiled and extended his hand to shake his, " Dr. Zhuge is still the same as before, so easygoing."

Feng Xuan nodded and went straight to the point, asking, "Do you need me to get busy now, or is there anything else I need to do?"

"Nothing else is planned. We're just waiting for you. Come downstairs with me; we have a car to pick you up."

Zhou Fan pointed downstairs, while Feng Xuan looked at the others, "What about the captain and the others?"

Zhou Fan gave a slightly embarrassed smile. "Because of the urgency of the situation, I couldn't arrange so many accommodations. I'm really sorry. Please find your own places to stay."

Feng Xuan scoffed, "Still the same old thing."

The plane entered stealth mode, and everyone went downstairs.

Once inside the elevator, Xing Lan looked at Feng Xuan with some curiosity and asked in a low voice,

Why does Commander Zhou call you Dr. Zhuge?

"Why else? Because my surname is Zhuge. Have you ever seen anyone with the surname Feng?"

Feng Xuan gave a somewhat speechless reply, while Xing Lan was slightly shocked.

"Your surname is Zhuge? Why didn't you tell us before?"

Feng Xuan shrugged. "You didn't even ask. Besides, don't you think calling me Zhuge Feng Xuan sounds incredibly stupid?"

"Uh, okay."

After arriving downstairs, Zhou Fan led Feng Xuan into the car that was picking them up and drove away.

Watching the car drive away, Ye Ciqing rested his chin on his hand, as if deep in thought.

"Who is this Zhou Fan? Why are you so respectful to him, Captain?"

Ye Ciqing looked at Sun Hai.

Sun Hai was somewhat speechless. "Zhou Fan, the highest authority of the Great Xia Night Star, is the superior of all of us."

He is also the direct manager of various special teams, and a ' Starlight Radiance' level expert.

Ye Ciqing shuddered violently, "Holy crap, such an important person!"

He looked in the direction the car had gone, pounding his chest in anger, "Damn it, I should have given him a gift to make a good impression on my boss."

"Oh well, there'll be other opportunities. Let's think about where we should stay now."

I'm definitely not going to stay in a cheap roadside rental again.

Xing Lan felt quite depressed when she recalled her previous experience.

Sun Hai nodded, agreeing that they needed to find a place to stay first, so the group started looking for a hotel to stay for a few nights.

The group searched separately for almost the entire day, but couldn't find a place to stay.

These hotels were either full, temporarily closed, or didn't have enough rooms. In short, for various reasons, the group had nowhere to stay as it got dark.

Moreover, they discovered that although the city was called an electronics city, it wasn't as filled with high-tech electronic products as Xing Lan had imagined.

On the contrary, this place is not much different from other cities. If you had to point out any difference, it would be that people here use better mobile phones and there are more internet cafes.

"No way! It's not going to end up like last time with Hela, is it?!"

Xing Lan clutched her head, looking utterly devastated, while Hela calmly ate the snacks she had bought.

Seeing everyone at a loss, Si Xiaobei timidly stretched out her little hand.

Actually... I know a place we can go.

"Where!"

Xing Lan looked at Si Xiaobei as if she had seen a savior.
