Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 266 The Button for Living Together with Heaven and Earth
"Are you okay?"

The girl's soft, gentle greeting came through the phone's receiver, as tender as a feather, making one's ears tingle.

"Of course it's nothing, just a minor incident."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head and unconsciously kicked the cold tiles on the wall. The marble tiles, which were originally very solid, made a slightly crisp sound.

"Is that considered a small-scale event?"

Liu Miaomiao recalled what she had witnessed earlier, and as an "insider," she was exempted from having her memories erased.

Although she didn't see the end, what she saw was already beyond her comprehension.

"It's a minor incident, nothing to worry about!"

Lu Mingfei insisted that, to some extent, he genuinely believed this. Although there were quite a few "big shots" involved this time, and their status was quite distinguished, in terms of the intensity of the scene... it certainly couldn't compare to the commotion he witnessed yesterday during the battle with Jormungandr in Nibelungen.

If yesterday's scene were to be replicated today, given the art center's location... then the situation would likely become much more complicated and difficult to control. Even if Senior Brother Ye Sheng were extremely stressed, it would probably be to no avail.

"Oh……"

"Alright, alright, give me the phone. If we keep talking like this for another hour, we probably won't get anything out of you." Su Xiaoqiang's helpless voice came from the side.

Lu Mingfei: "?"

"How...did you two get together?"

He didn't know why, but he subconsciously lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

"Because of the special circumstances today, Miaomiao's parents are having their memories erased and it will be difficult for them to go home tonight. In addition, Ling said she was worried about other dangers, and you can't come back for the time being because of other matters, so we were just asked to stay together," Su Xiaoqiang said casually.

At first glance, this seemed quite reasonable, but Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt that something was amiss... Putting everything else aside, Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao's relationship didn't seem to be this good before, did it? They're even calling each other "Miaomiao" now!

What happened?

Lu Mingfei wasn't quite sure, but instinctively he felt it was a great thing, so he didn't dwell on the details.

Anyway, even if I did ask, I probably wouldn't get a real answer, so I might as well pretend I didn't notice.

"So you two sleep together at night?"

He blurted out a sentence, and at the same time, a scene that had appeared in his dream flashed through his mind—

Su Xiaoqiang was stretching on the yoga mat, her form-fitting yoga clothes perfectly outlining her hot curves. Beside her by the window, Liu Miaomiao was playing the piano, but this time, it wasn't Chen Wenwen who was feeding her fruit, but Ling...

Just thinking about it is wonderful. I never thought that something even better than a dream could actually happen to me.
"Yes, and we're all wearing silk pajamas now. Oh, and here's a little-known fact: girls don't wear bras to bed..."

Su Xiaoqiang's voice suddenly became languid and alluring, with a hint of nonchalant hoarseness. In that instant, she was like the infamous "Su Daji" who had brought ruin to the country, and her mere words sent a shiver down Lu Mingfei's spine.

"Want to see it?"

"...What's the point of just looking at it!"

Lu Mingfei snapped out of his daze and indignantly tried to express a sense of magnanimity, saying, "I, a dignified man, would not stoop to such petty squabbles."

The results were not ideal.

"Then come on over! We're right here in your room!" Su Xiaoqiang confidently challenged Lu Mingfei, certain that he wouldn't be coming back.

"Let's get down to business, Miss. I'll tell you everything you want to know!" Lu Mingfei gave in.

"Hee hee~"

Su Xiaoqiang raised an eyebrow triumphantly at Liu Miaomiao. The little piano beauty's well-behaved face flushed slightly at her bold words, perhaps she too had entered a "fantasy" state. Those in the arts always have more imagination than ordinary people, let alone someone with Liu Miaomiao's special talent, so she didn't notice Su Xiaoqiang's little gesture.

However, after a brief moment of pride, Su Xiaoqiang handed the phone to Zero with a slight sense of discouragement... She didn't know much about the matter, and Zero, being of mixed race, had the advantage in this regard.

"What is the purpose of tomorrow?" Zero asked.

"Baidi City".

Lu Mingfei was not surprised that Ling knew he was going on a business trip the next day.

In her spare time, Zero had subtly introduced him to the power of the team hidden behind her. Although there were only two of them, they were first-rate in terms of controlling finance, materials, and even mobilizing human and material resources.

In terms of intelligence, they also possess extremely special channels. Even the world's most advanced artificial intelligence supercomputer, "Norma" owned by Kassel College, cannot stop them. In fact, it could be said that they already possess "a part" of Norma.

It's an aid, but we can't trust it completely like we would with zero. Normal cooperation is perfectly fine.

This trip to Baidi City is so rushed; who knows what might happen? Having more backup plans is never a bad thing.

For the first time, Ling's usually calm voice clearly carried a hint of seriousness.

"The Three Gorges?"

……

"what happened?"

Zhang Shanfeng looked at the old man sitting on the mahogany bench behind the tea table with some surprise. He was dressed in a suit and tie, still impeccably dressed, and stood tall. Although he looked old and frail, his spirit was sharp and vigorous, like a young lion.

“This is the first time I’ve heard you speak like this, Principal Angers.”

"It's hard for me not to have this change in tone after hearing the place name you mentioned."

Angers reached out and picked up the white bone china cup on the table that had just been filled with tea. The white steam carrying the aroma of tea rose up and gradually dissipated in the cold light of the office.

“That’s the Three Gorges after all… I think, as a Chinese person, you certainly understand its importance better than I do.”

"Of course, I once heard a very interesting saying: the Three Gorges Dam doesn't seem very big on Earth, it's like a small button. But if some fool tries to press this inconspicuous button, it will trigger a world-destroying force."

Zhang Shanfeng leisurely sipped his tea. "So we can call it the 'Heaven and Earth Longevity Button'."

“An attack on this place would be considered a nuclear war, so of course I would find it difficult.”

Angers pulled out a Cohiba cigar. "It's absolutely impossible to transport any heavy weapons over there."

"Yes."

"Only people can go there and resolve this matter."

"Correct."

"That person's name is Lu Mingfei, right?"

"Ah."

"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang..."

Angers shook his head slightly and took a small sip of tea as well.

"How many things happened in these short ten days that I don't know about?"
