Free Web NovelChapter 1973: Chapter 1973: Where Am I Supposed to Find Someone for You? (Second Update)
Just as Zhang Fan was carefully picking out Mao Daqing’s dirt, over at the National Shield Bureau, the place had already blown up!
In the basement, all kinds of vehicles were parked.
Most of the cars were very, very old.
Vintage cars! Beetles! Hongqi sedans...
There was even a Phoenix-brand bicycle!
And yet, even the license plate on that bicycle, if you took it outside, could scare a whole crowd to death!
On the very top floor of the National Shield Bureau base, rows and rows of middle-aged and elderly people were seated!
The number of old folks far exceeded the number of middle-aged ones.
They sat there like pines.
They said nothing, and the entire top floor fell utterly silent.
The group of middle-aged men beside them all had heads as big as buckets; you could say they didn’t even dare breathe too loud!
They were all elders of the National Shield Bureau.
The founding heroes when the National Shield Bureau was formed.
Each of them had at least one First-Class Merit on their record!
Although they had long since retired, they still kept a constant eye on the National Shield Bureau.
It’s no exaggeration to say each of them would come over every now and then to inspect the state of the National Shield System.
And now that the National Shield System’s outer firewall had been breached, how could they not show up!
There was even an old man with an IV drip hanging from his hand.
"Bang!"
Liu Chuanxu came barreling into the National Shield Bureau base in a flurry!
"How many of them came?" Liu Chuanxu wiped the sweat off his forehead.
At this moment, he was really panicking.
Ever since he finished that call with Zhang Fan, he had taken thirty-eight calls.
And got chewed out thirty-eight times!
Yet he still had to shamelessly placate them so they wouldn’t blow up.
If any of those old men got so mad at him over the phone that they collapsed, he’d be shedding more than just one layer of skin!
"All those old gentlemen are here. Director Liu, you finally made it. The Killing Aura upstairs is way too heavy. When you go up, you better tread carefully." Liu Da also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Liu Chuanxu nodded and sprinted straight toward the elevator.
As he drew closer and closer to the top floor, he grew more and more nervous.
Once he stepped onto the top floor, the deathly still atmosphere made his scalp explode.
This had "something big is about to go down" written all over it.
Entering the conference room and seeing all those white-haired old men, Liu Chuanxu took a deep breath.
"Elder Guo, Elder Zhang..."
Liu Chuanxu greeted the elders one by one.
But not a single person spoke.
In an instant, the atmosphere plunged to freezing point, and cold sweat streamed down Liu Chuanxu’s back!
But with the big shots keeping silent, he didn’t dare babble either, which only made his heart even more uneasy!
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Right now, all Liu Chuanxu could hear in his head was his own heartbeat.
He was freaking out, freaking out like crazy.
After three minutes of silence, a hoarse, icy voice rang out.
"Heh, Liu Chuanxu, where’s Han Bin, is he dead?"
Han Bin, Director of the National Shield Bureau!
Hearing that, Liu Chuanxu cursed out loud in his heart.
Yeah, where’s Han Bin?
Damn, where the hell is that actual director?
Holy crap, something this huge happens and how come he’s the one taking the fall?
Han Bin, oh Han Bin, you bastard, why don’t you just drop dead.
Of course, he could only say that in his heart.
In front of this group of elders, he definitely didn’t dare swear.
"Elder Guo, Old Han is currently carrying out a secret mission," Liu Chuanxu said.
"Heh! A secret mission, you mean this Level-One alert?" A white-haired old man propped himself up on his cane and stood, anger etched across his face.
Guo Xin!
The former Director of the National Shield Bureau.
You could say that among this group of elders, he had the most authority.
Forget the others—among these elders, Guo Xin could whack whoever he wanted!
He’d twist his cane and smack you with it without giving anyone any face!
"Elder Guo, please sit, please sit, don’t get angry. If you get worked up and harm your health, I’d die a hundred times and still not atone," Liu Chuanxu hurried over, supporting Guo Xin, afraid he might fall.
"Get lost! I handed the National Shield Bureau over to you lot, and this is how you manage it?
The state gives you money, what, to feed pigs?
The National Shield System is Huaxia’s lifeline, and you’ve still got the nerve to stand in front of me?"
Guo Xin, still not venting enough, raised his cane and stomped it down on Liu Chuanxu’s instep!
In that instant, Liu Chuanxu was about to cry.
"Elder Guo, your criticism is justified. Please, sit, I’ll do it myself!" As he spoke, Liu Chuanxu lifted his right foot and stomped down on his own left.
Seeing this, beads of cold sweat multiplied on the foreheads of countless middle-aged men.
The other elders, however, shouted in anger, hating the iron for not becoming steel: "Use a knife, use a knife!"
"The National Shield System’s firewall has actually been breached, you guys are really something, huh."
"Even if we raised a pig, it’d be more useful than you lot!"
Hearing all that scolding, Liu Chuanxu had ten thousand "MMP"s in his heart!
The firewall being breached, how was that their fault?
Who the hell knew how that freak Zhang Fan’s monstrous brain grew.
Who the hell knew how that freak Zhang Fan trained his freak-level computer skills.
Honestly speaking, in the ten or so years since they took over, there had never been a problem.
They’d gone head-to-head with the Pentagon more than once or twice.
No issues at all.
But Zhang Fan...
Heh, MMP!
"Elder Guo, please don’t be angry, just hear me out. If any of you gets so mad something happens, I’ll have to jump from here," Liu Chuanxu said quickly. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He truly respected these elders.
He was genuinely afraid these old gentlemen might get so worked up they’d fall ill.
"Then go jump!"
"Hurry up, I’ll go downstairs right now and wait for you!"
???
Liu Chuanxu’s face instantly darkened.
Old gentlemen, at a time like this, could you not joke around?
"Elders, please, hear me out! Let me finish, and if you still want me to jump, I’ll jump right away, okay?" This time Liu Chuanxu was really about to cry.
Don’t be fooled by how frail these old fellows looked—when it came to winding people up, they were absolutely top tier!
"Talk, and make it fast, you’ve got three minutes!" Guo Xin said.
If Liu Chuanxu didn’t give them a satisfactory explanation, they weren’t leaving today.
Immediately, Liu Chuanxu felt like a weight had been lifted and began explaining at top speed.
Three minutes later, the conference hall once again fell silent!
The faces of the old men were flushed, their emotions surging!
"Liu Chuanxu, is what you said true?" Guo Xin stood up.
One person had hacked Japan’s National Shield System?
Good lord!
Wasn’t this something he just made up?
Could such a person really exist?
Even though they’d been retired for many years, they still understood very well what kind of concept Japan’s National Shield System was.
The National Shield System, this was the National Shield System!
"It’s true, Elder Guo. Would I dare lie to you? Even if you gave me ten thousand leopards’ worth of courage, I wouldn’t dare," Liu Chuanxu said.
"Then what are you still yapping for, hurry up and bring this genius over so we can see him!" The group of old men boiled over.
In that instant, Liu Chuanxu cursed in his heart again!
Bring him over?
Where the hell am I supposed to find him for you!
