Chapter 285 Liu Jiuxian's Voice
The midday sun was already quite scorching, and given the season, it was inevitable to feel hot and bothered standing outside.

However, when Liu Jiuxian and the others came out of the conference room and stood in the sun, they felt that the sun could dispel some of the coolness.

Feng Quandao walked at the front, followed by Liu Jiuxian and several silent Betas.

Colonel Han and his men were seven or eight steps behind.

As soon as he came out, he happened to look down and see Pei Zhiyi and her group coming out of Instructor Qiao's office.

Wearing military training uniforms, they stood on the parade ground under the bright sunlight.

Pei Zhiyi and Lu Yanxu were the first to feel several pairs of eyes looking at them.

Following that line of sight, I immediately saw Feng Quandao and the others standing in the corridor.

She paused, then bowed slightly to the group of people.

This is a courtesy to elders and also to leaders.

They were quite far apart, so she couldn't see Feng Quandao and the others' expressions.

But they saw the people around Feng Quandao gesturing for them to stop.

So Pei Zhiyi and the others stopped where they were, and three minutes later, Feng Quandao came down.

It was only then that they realized that among this group of people were not only Feng Quandao, but also people from the military.

"Long time no see, Pei." Feng Quandao was as kind as ever.

Pei Zhiyi said politely, "Councilor Feng, it's been a long time."

Feng Quandao glanced at the group and said, "I also heard about your kidnapping by a terrorist organization. It's good that you're alright."

"You are the pride of the Federation. Protect yourselves and don't take any risks."

Liu Jiuxian glanced at the time and said in a low voice, "Sir, you have a meeting later, so you should leave as soon as possible."

Feng Quandao nodded, said goodbye to Pei Zhiyi and the others, then strolled to the hovercar, smiled at Pei Zhiyi and the others, and left.

Colonel Han and some officers stood behind them.

Feng Quandao's words were neither excessive nor inappropriate.

After losing sight of Feng Quandao, Colonel Han also left.

After all that people had left, only Lu Yanxu looked at Pei Zhiyi, who seemed somewhat dazed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhiyi's expression became somewhat strange after Feng Quandao left.

It wasn't very obvious, otherwise Colonel Han wouldn't have left so easily.

Pei Zhiyi opened her mouth, then grabbed Lu Yanxu's arm.

"We'll talk about it when we get back," she managed to say with great difficulty.

Shi Min made a direct decision: "Let's go to the mental training room."

At least that would be a safe enough place.

Outside the hovercar, the scenery rushed past at breakneck speed.

Feng Quandao kept his eyes fixed on the scenery outside the car window, even after leaving the military region.

Liu Jiuxian had already seen Feng Quandao several times.

"Sir, are we really going to let the military investigate?"

Feng Quandao blinked as if waking from a dream, then slowly sat back in the back seat, rubbing the knuckles of his other hand with his index finger and thumb.

“Hmm.” He looked up. “Even if they say they won’t investigate, they won’t stop.”

"It has already aroused suspicion, Jiuxian."

He sighed.

He hadn't originally planned to bring Liu Jiuxian with him to the military headquarters today, because he had entrusted Liu Jiuxian with the task of kidnapping Pei Zhiyi.

But Liu Jiuxian had always been his secretary, and except for holidays, he was rarely not by his side.

So I brought it with me on this trip.

However, he couldn't help but recall Pei Zhiyi's subtle expression after hearing Liu Jiuxian's voice.

He kept looking at her. That subtle change in her pupils, that sudden blink...
He suddenly had an absurd thought: that Pei Zhiyi already knew he was the mastermind behind all of this.

But Pei Zhiyi's reaction was directed at Liu Jiuxian.

He cracked his knuckles. "Jiuxian, did you personally contact the person from last time?"

Liu Jiuxian paused for a second, then whispered, "Yes, they asked me for the deployment map."

Feng Quandao's eyes were fixed on Liu Jiuxian for so long that Liu Jiuxian didn't even know if he had done something wrong.

His expression changed slightly: "Sir, have we already been exposed?"

Feng Quandao lowered his eyes: "It's possible. Pei Zhiyi may have remembered something."

“These preparations were supposed to be made anyway,” he said.

Liu Jiuxian was somewhat incredulous, but he trusted Feng Quandao's judgment.

"Sir, I can do it if necessary."

His words were stopped by Feng Quandao raising his hand.

Feng Quandao's expression could be described as profound: "Jiuxian, things have come to this point, and our approach is no longer to keep it a secret."

They have been completely exposed to the authorities, and many things have become more difficult for them to do.

How frequent have the monster tides been these past few days?

Liu Jiuxian is a competent secretary; every morning, he goes through these data in his mind.

"It has increased by 1% compared to last month."

Feng Quandao nodded, "If this trend continues, by the end of this year, the beast tide will increase by 25% year-on-year, or even more."

If this trend continues, then yes.

Liu Jiuxian didn't understand what Feng Quandao was thinking.

"Try to drag it out until the end of the year, suspend all activities, and keep everyone on their toes to avoid any underhanded tactics."

After a moment's thought, Feng Quandao made a decision.

Clearly, Liu Jiuxian already knew that the end of the year would be a sensitive period.

None of the timeframes personally proposed by Feng Quandao were easily achieved.

"What are your plans, sir?" This question left everyone wondering what Feng Quandao was really up to.

Feng Quandao had thought a lot by now, but to Liu Jiuxian, he simply said, "Don't appear in front of Pei Zhiyi recently. Have someone prescribe some medicine for you and say that you've been under too much pressure lately, which caused you to lose your voice."

"For the next three months, Jiuxian, don't say a word."

Feng Quandao had already explained, and Liu Jiuxian immediately agreed: "I'll go find a doctor when I get back."

the other side.

In the mental training room, Pei Zhiyi had regained her composure.

"What just happened?" Lu Yanxu looked at Pei Zhiyi with suspicion in his eyes.

Pei Zhiyi cleared her throat: "I think Secretary Liu's voice sounds a lot like the voice I heard on the spaceship."

Even though the interrogation was over, Pei Zhiyi kept replaying the details of her kidnapping and the head-on collision with the spaceship whenever she had a spare moment.

That's why she was so sensitive to the similarity when she heard Liu Jiuxian's voice today.

The voices sound slightly different when transmitted through a smart device, but they are generally similar.

Even Gu Enling fell silent and frowned.

"Are you sure?" Shi Min asked again.

Pei Zhiyi shook her head: "It just looks similar, but I can't be sure."

So much time has passed since those words came to mind.

Pacing around the mental training room, Pei Zhiyi said again, "Unless, let Secretary Liu say those words again."

It firmly awakens memories that had begun to fade.

However, it would be quite difficult to get Secretary Liu to say those words again, since it would clearly raise suspicions.
