SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

Jiang Shuwan rolled her eyes at him, her tone languid: "What does it matter to us whether we're destroyed or not?"

"It would be better if it were destroyed, then Yan Yan wouldn't have to spend every day in the lab."

Lin Ye was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "My wife is right."

"We're here!"

Lin Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, and urged him with a smile:

"Mom and Dad, what are you whispering about? Why are you walking so slowly?"

"Cough, cough—"

Lin Ye coughed twice and scratched his head: "It's nothing. Your mother and I are just country bumpkins who came to the city. We want to see everything."

"Yeah~"

Jiang Shuwan gently echoed, her eyes full of pride: "Yan Yan is really too promising."

"If it weren't for Yan Yan, we would never have been able to get into a place like this in our entire lives."

"Hehe, actually the other areas are fine, only Zone Z is the real core area of ​​the R&D base."

"But I don't have enough authority right now, so I can't even show you the outside."

As she said this, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and she gently clenched her fist:

"But sooner or later, I will have a chance to fight for this position of dean!"

"Then I'll be able to show you lots of things that will completely change your perceptions!"

"Hey, none of that matters. Being happy every day is the most important thing."

Lin Ye added with a smile, gently knocking on the door:

"Open the door, Yan Yan! We can't wait to see what your office is like!"

"Go, go, go! It's all Dad's fault for interrupting again."

Lin Yan pressed her index finger on the door as she spoke, "Click—"

The metal door slid open automatically, and a spacious, bright room instantly came into view of the three of them.

The desk was spotless, the bookshelves were filled with professional books, and a potted plant was placed in the corner, making it both elegant and cozy.

"Wow! That's really good."

Lin Ye chuckled and sighed, his eyes scanning the room. "This office... must be at least a hundred square meters, right?"

"It's almost as big as our house."

"Yes, our Yan Yan is really amazing."

Jiang Shuwan's beautiful eyes swept across the entire office, and she added with a smile:

"He's much more successful than your brother. Your brother probably doesn't even have his own office."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan's smile deepened, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Hehe, bro, this is just the beginning~"

"Yan Yan believes that your brother's future achievements will be great, but they will never surpass Yan Yan's."

Lin Ye pursed his lips, as if trying to suppress a laugh, but his eyes unconsciously looked out the window.

Jiang Shuwan smiled meaningfully and said:

"Of course, with your brother's dull appearance, Mom would be grateful if he didn't cause any trouble."

Just as the three were laughing and chatting, a soft knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Lin Yan looked towards the door and said calmly, "Come in."

The door opened, and a man in a black uniform slowly walked in.

He stood tall and straight, and when his gaze swept over Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Yan: "Director Lin, Zone Z..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yan interrupted him with a smile:

"Dad, Mom, this is Tan Yi. I've mentioned him to you before. He's Yan Yan's bodyguard captain."

After saying that, she added, her eyes sparkling, "That's amazing!"

The words of praise brought a slight smile to Tan Yi's calm lips.

He looked at Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan, and nodded slightly in polite greeting:

Hello.

"So you're Tan Yi!"

Lin Ye smiled and strode forward, then extended his right hand: "I've heard so much about you, the legendary sixth-tier Awakener, right?"

Tan Yi also extended his right hand in a simple handshake, his calm voice carrying a hint of pride:

"It is I. Being at the sixth-tier advanced level is very strong, but I am not yet considered legendary. You are ignorant."

He deliberately emphasized the words "high realm".

Lin Ye's lips twitched, and he muttered to himself:

With a quality that's worse than even a roadside stall, how can it possibly protect Yan Yan?

But the next second he grinned and said, "Sorry for my intrusion, I didn't mean to. So you're at the advanced sixth level!"

"That must be even more amazing. We are indeed ignorant and have limited knowledge."

Jiang Shuwan walked gracefully to Tan Yi and smiled:

"With Captain Tan as Yan Yan's bodyguard captain, we are truly at ease about Yan Yan's safety from the bottom of our hearts."

Tan Yi smiled faintly, his tone resolute:

"You can rest assured, with me here, Director Lin's safety is 100% guaranteed."

Lin Ye and Jiang Shuwan's lips twitched simultaneously, and they cursed in their hearts at the same time: Damn it, this guy is still putting on an act.

They were momentarily at a loss for words, and a brief silence fell over the air.

Tan Yi looked at the stunned expressions on Director Lin's parents' faces, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up again.

He believes.

This must be because their overwhelming strength has shocked them.

After all, I am indeed very strong.

They were only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the seventh rank.

Seeing the slightly awkward silence among the three, Lin Yan broke the ice by speaking up and looking at Tan Yi to ask:

"Captain Tan, is there something you need?"

Tan Yi then came to his senses, remembered his purpose, looked up at Lin Yan, and said in a serious tone:

"Something has happened in Zone Z, so Director Lin should refrain from going to the dean's office for the time being."

"Um?"

Lin Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. Zone Z was the most heavily guarded area of ​​the research and development base. What could possibly happen there?

She pressed, "What exactly happened?"

Tan Yi paused, his voice turning serious:

"Two men from Zhen'erting arrived and fought their way into the Z-sector experimental building..."

"ah!??"

Lin Yan couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "No way?"

"That's the Z-zone laboratory building!"

"There are five or six sixth-tier guards, and the three deans are even seventh-tier..."

"Two people just stormed in? Tan Yi, are you kidding me?"

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself: Could it be that his son has arrived?

That brat is always busy. He just got beaten up yesterday, and today he's beating up someone else.

But he was right to do that; this awful place should be leveled as soon as possible.

Those who do experiments, to put it bluntly...

Jiang Shuwan, however, became interested, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"no."

Tan Yi shook his head, his tone tinged with disbelief: "At this moment, the defense forces of the research and development base are converging on Zone Z."

"Yan Yan, we've pretty much seen everything. How about... we go check out the outer areas of Zone Z?"

Jiang Shuwan made the suggestion with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Yan was about to speak when Tan Yi interrupted her, "It's better not to go now, after all..."

Jiang Shuwan interrupted him again: "Isn't Captain Tan here?"

"You are a sixth-tier high-level Awakened One; you will surely protect our safety!"

"Besides, let's just watch from a distance and not go up to join the fun."

"Captain Tan, is it okay?" Lin Yan looked at Tan Yi with expectant eyes.
