Hao Jianhua stared at his phone in suspicion, remembering that he had set it to silent mode. Upon seeing the number, he immediately frowned.
The three words that made him tremble were "Security Bureau!"
This call, neither displaying a number nor a name, could even bypass the silent mode on his phone!
"Meeting paused, I need to take a call!"
Hao Jianhua said to the camera as he walked out of the conference room with his phone, ensuring that no one outside could hear their conversation.
He knew that a call from the Security Bureau at this moment would certainly bring news about Lin Beichen.
He went to an empty corner and made sure no one was around before answering the call.
"Director Song, any news about that kid? I’m worried sick; the news reporters have almost besieged Imperial Capital University. I really... sigh~~"
Hao Jianhua complained bitterly, aware that he was not maintaining the dignified stance of a principal, but he was genuinely anxious about the mysterious disappearance of an important figure from the Security Bureau at his organized academic conference, the immense pressure on his shoulders was unmentionable.
"Principal Hao, rest assured, this call is to inform you that Lin Beichen is on his way back to the country!"
"Additionally, I have arranged the necessary procedures; you can return to the country with the rest of the students participating in the academic exchange on a special flight."
"Remember, Lin Beichen’s whereabouts must not be disclosed. I’ve added supplementary information to your plan; the official explanation is that he went to the consulate for protection after leaving early, and hence couldn’t be reached. Maintain this unified statement!"
Song Xiangdong spoke slowly, instructing Hao Jianhua to maintain clarity, repeating several times to ensure the message was understood before hanging up.
After the call ended, Hao Jianhua went to the balcony, leaning on the railing while watching the cars streaming past on the street, his eyes momentarily losing focus.
Hearing Song Xiangdong’s words brought a heavy weight off his chest, the burden he had been struggling to bear, he finally knew Lin Beichen was being escorted back by the Security Bureau.
Hao Jianhua let out a long, rare sigh of relief.
Simultaneously, he was inwardly shaken by the Bureau’s efficiency and comprehensive consideration; it was simply astonishing!
Everything seemed to be thoroughly planned; he just needed to follow the instructions.
For example, the excuse for Lin Beichen’s disappearance, and the materials from Divine Light University, these tedious matters were resolved with few words from Song Xiangdong.
A sudden thought struck him, causing Hao Jianhua to freeze for a moment.
"The Security Bureau fabricates an excuse for that kid’s whereabouts, meaning his real whereabouts are a top-secret!"
Hao Jianhua drew in a sharp breath, his eyes sparkling with a sudden surge of emotions that he couldn’t hide!
He had suspected earlier that the figure meditating atop Jingli Mountain was Lin Beichen, but there had been no confirmed news or additional reports.
And the excuse fabricated by the Security Bureau now validated that Lin Beichen’s whereabouts were certainly a well-kept secret!
"So, that means the one encased in a crimson light atop Jingli Mountain, revealing divine signs, was him!"
"He was the one unharmed by the lava!"
Hao Jianhua muttered to himself, astounded, taking a long, cold breath that he couldn’t release for a long time!
The shock within him wasn’t something he could share!
It was clear that Lin Beichen’s future prospects were limitless!
An unprecedented exceptional talent indeed!
The first in the path of cultivation, born within Imperial Capital University!
Despite causing monumental trouble for Imperial Capital University and almost leading to a scandal in the academic world, looking ahead, Lin Beichen’s growth was destined to benefit Imperial Capital University.
It was truly a love-hate situation!
That evening, within Divine Light Country.
Gang Shiilang and his emergency response team had retrieved the bodies of the Atlantis assassin organization from Jingli Mountain and brought them to the laboratory.
The other headless male corpses were handed over to the research institute, leaving the intact female corpse to be pushed into the dissection room by subordinates.
Gang Shiilang, tidied himself briefly, showing a mix of excitement and impatience, stormed into the dissection room.
Gang Taitan Man watched from afar, knowing exactly what the beast would do next.
He didn’t intervene; the credit for this operation belonged to the emergency response team, while his volcano research group only extinguished a fire and threw up at the sight of the corpse’s condition.
This predicament left him uncertain about how to report to Director Yui No Yamakawa.
Not only did they fail to find the silhouette’s tracks, but the whole team ended up vomiting...
As Gang Taitan Man was at wits’ end, one subordinate hurriedly brought the latest survey data from Jingli Mountain’s volcanic crater to the conference room.
Gang Taitan Man called and took the data, sending the subordinate away, and started reviewing the data himself.
Seeing the mentioned figures stunned him for a moment; it seemed worse than he had imagined!
He didn’t think much further, taking the data to report to Director Yui No Yamakawa, boldly pushing open the doors to the conference room and walking straight inside.
