Chapter 677 - 327: Resolve

The longer the time drags on, the greater the sacrifice. However, the novel’s description of telekinesis is neither rough nor detailed, making it difficult to piece together any useful information from a few words. At this moment, Gu Molin remained calm.

Gu Molin abruptly asked, "What do you think... about the character Su Jiameng in the novel?"

Gu Zhengye paused and replied, "She is powerful, with an even stronger inner strength—a female warrior who stands equal to men."

"Compared to these, I value one of her qualities more: caution, always maintaining rationality in her actions... If this novel isn’t by chance but is a portrayal of herself, do you think she’d knowingly prepare for nothing if she anticipated changes?"

Gu Molin thought for a moment, then added, "Maybe those two children, Xiao Xi and Xiao Feng, know something... at least more than we two old guys do. Or perhaps, we should try talking to the robot taking care of them..."

Although there was no evidence, Gu Molin was sure that Su Jiameng must have made thorough preparations before her disappearance, at least leaving behind some cards. Even if it wasn’t for the overall good of the Alliance, she would do her utmost for the two children.

Gu Molin’s speculation was undoubtedly correct. Su Jiameng left more than one card behind! Gu Zhengye wasn’t the type to like endurance and waiting; when he saw Changxi, he hinted at his intention, also as a probe.

Changxi glanced down at Huaixi’s determined face and sighed inwardly, thinking Su Jiameng left too early.

"Before the master left, she indeed left quite a few things behind. However, these things, though available to the Gu Family, are not free." Changxi began slowly, "Do you know the cause and effect behind why the master met her demise?"

Gu Zhengye frowned slightly, "If it’s to trade for the protection of the two kids, it’s unnecessary. They are direct descendants of the Gu Family and should enjoy all the benefits they can. You can make other requests, this one can be exempted..."

Changxi nodded and said naturally, "That’s only logical. The master didn’t mean that herself. She was busy these years because she was chasing a few people. If the Gu Family wants the cards she left, they need to show sincerity and take those people’s lives! To be honest, the Insect Race disaster will erupt, and these people are not unrelated!"

As Su Jiameng’s assistant in investigation, Changxi was naturally well-informed about the laboratory and the nine people involved, even being familiar with all the arrangements Su Jiameng made later.

Looking at Gu Zhengye and thinking about his identity as an Alliance Marshal, he couldn’t help but sigh. He didn’t know whether her passing was right or wrong. If wrong, yet if she were alive and revealed all her secrets, she might be the first to suffer, and the two kids would get involved. But now, she’s gone, and they’re safe.

The ambition of that research institute was always a secret; if not for Su Jiameng accidentally discovering it, who would know they extended their reach so far? And at such a moment, if a war with the Insect Race broke out, who knows what the situation would become!

The news today was overwhelming, even for the battle-hardened father and son, Gu Molin, to handle. These revelations were incredible, yet once spoken, the previously confused mind became instantly clear, and all the clues became evident.

"I didn’t expect... there to be so many twists in between... The nine people, aside from those already dead, where are the rest?" Gu Molin ended with a somber expression, the aura of bloodthirst made his age irrelevant.

"This part... I’m not quite sure either." Changxi shook his head regretfully, then added, "But the master made an agreement with a certain insider before leaving, which is still in effect. She knows who those people are. The master once said, if something happens to her, that person can shoulder the unfinished heavy burden... What does the Marshal think?"

Implying that if the Gu Family is smart enough, they should try to contact that person and gain a chance to cooperate, which would be all profit with no loss! Besides, apart from Qiu Yexuan and Zhu Mengtong, chosen by Su Jiameng, the person self-identified as Wu Su is likely also a key talent.

Gu Zhengye remained silent, yet he developed an unprecedented curiosity about the woman named Su Jiameng, a pity... she died too early.

If she were willing to report this matter back then, the Alliance wouldn’t be this passive now... This thought just popped up before Gu Zhengye suppressed it. As long as Su Jiameng had a brain, she wouldn’t easily reveal these secrets to untrustworthy people, especially the Gu Family, entirely loyal to the Alliance, Ningxuan being able to be with her for years must be because he was expelled...

Moreover, under those circumstances, anyone with sense wouldn’t believe Su Jiameng’s words, right?

Gu Zhengye lowered his eyes slightly, naturally agreeing to Changxi’s request. Even if he didn’t ask, the Gu Family wouldn’t allow these harmful elements to continue in the Alliance! However, Gu Zhengye didn’t know that the card was originally Su Jiameng’s gift to the Gu Family, never involving any transactions, all that was Changxi’s deliberate performance in Huaixi’s presence...

Only a family like the Gu Family, wholeheartedly and selflessly fighting for the Alliance, can maximize that card’s potential. Changxi just fulfilled Su Jiameng’s trust while casually putting Gu Zhengye in a bind.

"Grandpa... can Xiao Xi make a request?" Huaixi, listening hard at the side, thought for a long time, then looked up at Gu Zhengye. Gu Zhengye looked at him too, and Huaixi bowed earnestly before speaking, "Please train me into a warrior, an Alliance Warrior like mom, fearless and without regard for any cost or consequence!"

Huaifeng agreed, and Gu Zhengye was troubled, "What do these two children mean by this?"

Changxi said, "They are Level Five telekinesis users. Against the Insect Race, they might be even more useful than you as a Marshal..." (To be continued.
