Chapter 542 Different Reactions
While Yunxi and her three companions closed the door to discuss their next move, the Special Department, the military, and the Weilan family reacted in completely different ways.

After confirming the whereabouts of Yunxi and the other three, the Gongsun brothers immediately reported to Minister Ruobai that they had arranged for their temporary accommodations next to the Special Department.

Looking at the antique-style house in the photo, especially since it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, Ruobai sighed and said:

"Don't disturb them. All we can do now is wait."

Gongsun Ming said somewhat unconvinced:
"Minister, are they really as capable as you say?"

Gongsun Jing rolled his eyes at his younger brother and said:

“Ming, don’t forget, when we first met, we couldn’t even get close to that Ms. Ranxi. Moreover, she could collect souls without any equipment. We were indeed inferior to her. And now there are four people like her. What do you think?”

Although Gongsun Ming didn't want to admit it, what his brother said was indeed true, so he could only reluctantly try to cover it up:

"So far, we have never seen them actually make a move; they have only collected a few souls, which doesn't mean anything."

Ruobai interrupted the two of them, saying:

"How's your investigation going with the other man and woman with Ms. Ranxi? The woman named Hanlian was escorted to the Special Department by the military, so they're not without backing."

"Minister, we've never seen the face of that man in black before, but we can find out from the Sack family who brought him here. We should get a reply in the next couple of days."

As for Ms. Han Lian, I tried to get some information from Captain Chen of the military, but I didn't get any useful details.

Minister Bai tapped the table with his finger and said:

“I’ll inquire with the military; you guys investigate the man in black.”

"Yes, Minister."

The two of them left the office immediately after accepting the task.

Ruobai then dialed an internal phone line.

Captain Chen ordered his men to guard the outside of the house, and then urgently contacted the person in charge of the research base.

"Mr. Norsk, we've encountered a small problem."

Academician North, who was over fifty years old, adjusted his glasses and squinted as he asked:

"Captain Chen, is there something wrong with Visitor One from Outer Space? She is a very valuable research subject. I want to see her alive or dead. You must bring her back no matter what."

Captain Chen looked at the serious-looking academician on the screen, and his lips twitched weakly as he said:

"Sir, Ms. Hanlian's vital signs are normal, and she has no plans to return to the research base for the time being."

Norsk said with some disappointment:

"Oh, I see! What brings you here? I'm very busy."

Captain Chen took a deep breath and then exhaled to calm himself down before continuing:
"Sir, Ms. Hanlian and her companions have joined up, and there are not just one, but three of them. They are currently staying near the special department in W district."

Ms. Hanlian's friend has been commissioned by the Special Department to handle a very difficult matter. I have no idea what the specifics are; their Special Department and ours are two completely different systems.

After speaking, he also showed the antique house in Norsk's video, and simultaneously sent photos of Yunxi, Xunkun and Yunchen.

Nosk, who had been nonchalant, immediately perked up, his eyes practically glued to the screen, muttering to himself, "Four? There are four extraterrestrial visitors! Captain Chen, you don't need to come back. Just stay there and keep watch over them. Don't lose them. I'll send people to support you as soon as possible."

Without waiting for Captain Chen's reply, he hung up the video call.

Captain Chen's mouth was slightly open, but he swallowed back the words of advice he was about to say.

The vice-captain's expression was also indescribable. He wiped his face and spoke frankly:

"Captain, do you think we have the ability and equipment to hold off these three opponents who are just as powerful as Lady Hanlian?"

Captain Chen put away the communication equipment and shook his head helplessly, saying:

"We can't. At least for now, it seems that Ms. Hanlian is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. She seems to care more about the monsters in the research base. The reason she was able to stay in the base before was because Professor Huang answered her questions."

Now that she has found a companion, Mr. Nosk's idea of ​​using her as a research subject is certainly impossible.

"Tsk, we're the only ones who're unlucky."

The two looked at each other in silence, their gazes fixed on the tightly closed gates of the house.

Lanlan, who had left first, drove back to the family with Lili. The guards who greeted them at the gate were also amazed when they saw the little panda in the young lady's arms, but they still stepped forward respectfully and said:
"Miss Lanlan, the animal in your arms needs to be inspected before you can bring it into the room."

Lili glanced at the guard in front of her, then continued to nestle in Lanlan's arms without making any comment. Lanlan, however, shook her head and said:
"It's Master Ranxi's pet, and it's even cleaner than me. There's no need to check; there's nothing on it."

Lanlan refused the guard's request and carried Lili into the house. However, the huge living room was only occupied by a robot nanny who was cleaning; no one else was home.

Lanlan sighed, sent a message to her family, and then sat on the living room sofa with Lili in her arms, lost in thought. She had a very unreal feeling. It turned out that the reason she was so loved by her family was not because she was the youngest in the family, nor because she was a girl, but because she didn't have much time left.

Seeing that Lanlan was radiating a sense of dejection, Lili sighed and swatted at her arm with its tail. When it received no response, it didn't care and jumped out of Lanlan's arms, ignoring the guards and robots' stares, and wandered around the living room.

Half an hour later, Lanlan's family members returned home one after another. Upon seeing the dejected Lanlan and the rare red panda, everyone had a bad feeling.

After Lanlan's parents returned, Lanlan came to her senses and, meeting her family's concerned gazes, asked her first question:
"Don't you all know that I won't live past forty?"

"Lanlan, who said that? Are you being threatened? Didn't I arrange guards for you? What are they doing?"

The imposing man immediately looked displeased at the guard beside him.

The guard reluctantly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the man's ear.

The dignified man immediately frowned, then said to Lan Lan:
“The people in the Special Department have different political views from me, so you don’t need to believe what they say.”

The quiet woman beside the man simply asked softly:
"Lanlan, tell me what happened, what did they say? Did the people from the Special Department give you any trouble?"

Lanlan beckoned to Lili, and only after Lili jumped onto the sofa and squatted down beside her did she speak:

"This is what Lili's master told me. The people from the Special Department asked Lili's master to intervene and stop the destruction of Weilan Star. She said that if they were to intervene, the Weilan family would have to pay a heavy price."

"What do you mean?"

"Why?"

"Hmph! Who is qualified to make our family pay the price?"
