You Are Deep in The Stars

Liang Yi was indeed very sincere. In the afternoon of the next day, he and Zhou Yong arrived at the hotel ten minutes early, but Han Zhuo had arrived earlier than him.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Han.” Liang Yi took the initiative to extend his hand. “I hope we could have a good start. I mean all kinds of cooperation in the future.”

“Cooperation?” Han Zhuo smiled. “Do you know what I want?”

“Of course I know.” Liang Yi nodded. “All the information you once gave to Director Zhou had been transferred to me. I thought I would rather cooperate with you and help all aliens than with the underground warehouse and Shi Tian. Those who want to return to their hometowns.”

“Reason?” Han Zhuo asked very straightforwardly. He did not believe that the other party had no purpose. Even if there was a saint in this world, he should not be the person in charge of the Beidou Research Institute.

“Because in my eyes, the data sent from the underground warehouse had almost no value after so many years,” Liang Yi said. “I completely believe in your point of view. Shi Tian had embezzled a large amount of scientific research funds but had hidden at least eighty percent of the experimental results, which showed that he was an insincere collaborator.”

“However, the government have no intention of abandoning him,” Han Zhuo said. “At least not yet.” Because things had developed so far, the underground warehouse was not only an underground scientific research institution but also a darkness shrouding the heads of the vast number of people with supernatural powers. The shadow could keep them in constant fear and silence. Every step felt like stepping on ice. Of course, they had no time to entertain other thoughts—such as resistance and fighting.

“Originally, I wanted to turn a blind eye to this matter because I didn’t need his experimental data. The achievements I had made in researching superpowers over the years had far exceeded those of the underground warehouse and the third laboratory of your friend surnamed Wu,” Liang Yi said. “But Shi Tian’s appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger recently. Someone saw zombies in his laboratory. This is consistent with the report you sent. Channing’s ‘mummy’ experiment fit perfectly.”

“In order to stop the ‘Mummy’ experiment, you not only have to give up the underground warehouse that you have cooperated with for many years, but also send the superpowers home?” Han Zhuo shook his head. “I’m sorry, but for me, this reason is not convincing.”

“You have to believe that except for those brutal armed organizations that are anti-human and anti-government, no one would want to see a large number of zombies around them, so the government would definitely not agree to this experiment,” Liang Yi said. “Of course, this is just at the national level, and personally, I thought that the research on superpowers had reached the limit of my ability, making it difficult to achieve breakthrough progress. Therefore, I am more willing to use these superpowers scattered on the earth to teach other people about a highly civilized planet in exchange for their ready-made scientific research results.”

What he said was very sincere and reasonable.

“I am over fifty years old, and time is extremely precious to me,” Liang Yi continued. “Instead of sticking to the bottleneck period in the laboratory, it is better to find another way. This is all my thoughts and motivations.”

Han Zhuo asked, “All?”

“Of course, there is still a little bit of hidden selfishness, but this is my secret.” Liang Yi smiled again. “I know what you are worried about. The kid named Bai does have a great attraction to me.”

Han Zhuo’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He never concealed his desire to protect Bai Xi because only in this way could others be afraid.

“But I can swear that as long as we can reach cooperation, neither I, the Beidou Research Institute, nor other national institutions will ever touch him in the future.” Liang Yi raised his hand. “I guarantee it with all the most precious things in my life.”

“I’ll think about it,” Han Zhuo finally nodded.

“Is three days enough?” Liang Yi asked. “As I said just now, every remaining day is extremely precious to me, so I really don’t want to waste too much.”

“Okay.” Han Zhuo stood up and asked again before going out, “How is Zhou Jing? Xiao Bai cares about her very much.”

“All her physical signs are currently stable, and the bones of her fingers have successfully retracted by one millimetre,” Zhou Yong said. “Thank you for caring about my daughter and for taking care of my wife when she was in H City.”

“You’re welcome.” Han Zhuo smiled and said, “Goodbye.”

When he walked out of the hotel, the sun shone just right outside, and the warm light made the world look so vigorous and clean. The flow of people and traffic merged, and everything was full of new vitality.

It was also like a new beginning.

In the company, Liu Chunchun was making coffee in the lounge. Since Han Zhuo was away, Mr. Wang acted as Bai Xi’s bodyguard for a day. At the time, he sat in the president’s office, putting his two long legs on the coffee table as usual, reading a boring company magazine in hand.

“Why did you tear up my book?” Bai Xi raised his head between work, feeling very confused.

Wang Yuanchen replied, “Because my hands are free.”

Bai Xi: “…”

There were commendations for quarterly outstanding employees on that page, and the first one was Liu Chunchun. Of course, he didn’t look very handsome in his headshot, but his grin was quite… beautiful. Wang Yuanchen put the pages of the book into his bag, thinking that it could barely offset the day’s bodyguard salary.

“Would you like some biscuits?” Liu Chunchun came in with a tray.

“No, thank you.” Bai Xi took the cup from his hand. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“You’re welcome.” Liu Chunchun handed another cup of coffee to Wang Yuanchen. It was a new cup he had specially picked up from the warehouse. It had never been used by anyone. There were seven stars of the Big Dipper connected in a line on the rim of the cup, which was very suitable for Mr. Wang and his height. Cold and overbearing aristocratic temperament!

But Wang Yuanchen was not satisfied—because he saw that Bai Xi’s coffee cup was actually Buzz Lightyear!
