Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng was very polite to the elderly man. "We have been bothering you for quite some time, so it is only right that we come to visit your home."

"Haha, this is the first time I've ever met such a kind and gentle bone artist like you." Yan Lei's uncle, Yan Xingkai, smiled even more broadly.

"I see you're interested in that crystal ball. It's a treasure I went to great lengths to find. It's so hot here, and this crystal ball has made my room much more comfortable," Yan Xingkai said happily to Yu Meng.

Before Yu Meng could reply, Niannian came running over. "Fourth Sister, that crystal ball looks a lot like your technique."

After Niannian finished speaking, everyone looked at Yu Meng.

"It really was me who made it," Yu Meng said without hiding anything. "That winter, I saw ice floes on the river. I was suddenly inspired and made a large crystal and a small crystal. I just never expected to see my work here, thousands of miles away."

Yan Xingkai personally poured Yu Meng half a cup of tea. "What a coincidence! This is a coincidence from a thousand miles away."

This little incident made the conversation more relaxed and pleasant. Yan Xingkai is a pure businessman; his business is very large, with business tentacles in many places.

"Yan Lei, that kid only knows how to fight and kill, he doesn't like doing business at all. You know, after I pass away, this huge family business will still have to be managed by him. But as soon as I bring it up, he makes all sorts of excuses to avoid it." Yan Xingkai was like a nagging old man at this moment.

Yu Meng never gossiped about other people's business. She looked at Yan Lei and said, "Your uncle is so rich, so you must have more money than you can spend?"

Yan Lei stared wide-eyed. "My uncle's money is my uncle's. How can I spend his money?"

Niannian muttered under her breath, "Like this time, we've stayed here for so many days, did you pay for it all?"

Yan Lei was momentarily speechless.

Yan Xingkai also stated that if Yu Meng had any more works in the future, she could submit them to his business, and he would handle them properly. Yu Meng smiled and accepted the suggestion.

After staying a few more days, once the injuries of the three Qingyuan people were severe enough to withstand the turbulence of the plane, they returned to Jingchuan Hall.

Qingyuan looked at the place where she had lived most of her life, now completely changed. If it weren't for Secretary Wu guiding her, she probably wouldn't know which way to go.

"It's only been a short time! The changes are incredible. Secretary Wu, did you arrange all of this yourself?" Qingyuan pointed to the row of uniquely designed buildings in front of them. "How did you come up with all this?"

Secretary Wu chuckled. "Teacher Qing, do you know what the clubhouse is used for?"

Qingyuan shook her head. Secretary Wu led the group into the office. "I plan to turn this place into an exclusive club for aliens. Here we can extract aliens, study aliens, and even treat aliens."

Yu Meng glanced at him; he had quite the ambition, but given the current situation, it was clearly impossible.

"If you put up this sign, someone will probably come to talk to you right away," Yu Meng said without holding back.

"Aren't they all family? I just accidentally blurted out my honest opinion," Secretary Wu explained with a chuckle, not at all angry.

"Teacher Qing, I haven't touched your experimental garden at all. It's still reserved for you. You can use it anytime you want." After saying that, Secretary Wu picked out three documents from a pile of materials on the table and placed them in front of Qing. "I've even prepared the manpower for you. These are the people from the last training session with Teacher Yu. I didn't pass on these materials."

Qingyuan glanced at Yu Meng, unsure of what to do. Yu Meng had suffered significant damage to her life lines and no longer possessed her former strength.

"Secretary Wu, if Aunt Qing establishes that experimental garden, can you guarantee its safety?"

Secretary Wu understood that "it" referred to the experimental park. "Of course, the Jingchuan Hall only receives soldiers from our eight major bases. The rules are very strict."

Huang Yan and Teacher Sun also expressed their intention to continue living here. Qingyuan looked at them and said, "Then let's stay together. Having been through life and death, I've become indifferent to many things. Let's do what we should do, and whether it succeeds or not, that's up to fate."

"Aunt Qing, I'll stay with you, I won't go anywhere else. Without you, I would have died long ago." Huang Yan still hasn't recovered, and she's still sometimes startled awake in her sleep.

Secretary Wu looked at Yu Meng and tentatively asked, "Then I'll arrange a room for Teacher Yu as well."

"I also want a separate room, next to my sister," Niannian said directly from the side.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away and make sure you're all satisfied." Secretary Wu left happily.

Qingyuan looked at Yu Meng, hesitant to speak. "Aunt Qing, you know them better than I do, so just say what you want to say."

So Qingyuan explained what Yu Meng was going to do. This matter was too big to be accomplished by just one or two people.

Teacher Sun's eyes lit up. "There's really progress! I'll participate, I'll sign a confidentiality agreement." The elderly woman, who wasn't usually so talkative, had tears in her eyes. "This is incredible news! I must participate. I'll agree to whatever conditions you set."

Yu Meng stated the most important thing at the moment: "We need to remove the lines from their minds and then tame them. That way, they can control their behavior and won't frighten ordinary people."

Yu Meng made this decision after many nights of deliberation. After all, there are many people like them who still have traces of the alien species, and she simply couldn't finish all these tasks if she were alone.

Qingyuan was the first person she thought of. If it weren't for that, she might not have saved Qingyuan. Don't call her cold-hearted; given Qingyuan's condition at the time, who could guarantee she could be saved? She also didn't know if Yan Xingkai was a trustworthy person. Yu Meng was taking a risk; she was gambling on Xiao Wen and the others' character, and also testing whether her judgment was accurate.

Yu Meng was relieved by Teacher Sun's attitude; all the bone artists at the base were required to sign confidentiality agreements. Their loyalty was very high.

She's settling here now to establish a base. That way, people will find her here on their own through their own unique means of communication.

Yu Meng set a reasonable threshold; she couldn't work for free. Besides, since she was staying there, she couldn't let Secretary Wu suffer a loss. Therefore, this base price was for Secretary Wu, and how Secretary Wu handled it was none of her business.

Secretary Wu, a large man, held the contract given to him by Yu Meng, and cried like a child. "This is a lifelong regret for our generation. I'm willing to pay compensation if it can save them."

Yu Meng's expression remained unchanged. "Control the number of people. Don't let too many come at once. Also, be discreet and don't attract the attention of anyone with ulterior motives."

Secretary Wu nodded. "I know the seriousness of this matter. I won't even tell Xiao Wen and the others, and I will also give Huang Yan and Teacher Sun careful instructions. I will designate a separate area with a dedicated passage."

"I trust you to handle things. Then send one or two people over first; I still need to teach them how to extract the irregular lines," Yu Meng said casually.

Secretary Wu couldn't help but admire Yu Meng's magnanimity and vision. If someone else had such abilities, who knows what kind of benefits they would have gained? Money and power would probably have been easy for them.
