The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 360 Night (Part 1)
How could she have died so suddenly? Jiang Hui couldn't understand it, just as she couldn't understand how she had traversed countless stars and been reborn.

But no matter how technology advances, how time changes, or even if the world completely changes, life remains just as fragile and fleeting.

This topic immediately plunged everyone's mood to rock bottom. None of them were in the mood for laughter or conversation. Or rather, they hadn't recovered from this unexpected disaster. They were just trying to hide their heaviness and depression and wanted to show their friends that they were still doing alright.

--------------

"Has the child returned?" The man at the head of the large conference table turned his head and asked.

The young man in military uniform standing to one side seemed to have anticipated his inquiry and quickly reported the information he had just received to his superior. Zhou Xiuwen had already led the group to check into the West White Building and assigned rooms to each person. The housekeeping staff had already delivered daily necessities to them.

"You brought them all back?" Zhou Yuanjing asked, somewhat surprised. He asked again to confirm.

“Except for the young master from the Clarence family who is still receiving treatment in the hospital, the rest have been brought back. They should stay here for a few days, and I will increase security during these days…” The man thought Zhou Yuanjing was concerned about unfamiliar people staying at the Zhou residence, so he quickly explained.

The pale-faced man waved his hand and said, "That kid Wen already told me beforehand. He's just bringing a few classmates back, so there's nothing to hide. Let them be."

"And I don't know when I'll be able to find the time to go and see them these next few days, so I'm sure I haven't been able to entertain them properly. If any of you have time, please go and check on them for me. Try your best to meet any needs they may have..." After all, that child really has very few friends.

He had personally attended the match two months ago, so he naturally knew about some of Zhou Xiuwen's friends.

Although it was his idea to send his son to study on such a small planet, and he had considered the lack of environment and connections, this was not a problem for his only son, Zhou Yuanjing, and there was no need to worry.

Unexpectedly, the small Beska Intermediate Academy is full of hidden talents. Not to mention the powerful forces behind it and the teachers, even many of the students in this year's class come from some prestigious families. It is even more interesting than some schools in the capital. It's quite strange.

His son is mild-mannered and seems gentle, but deep down he's somewhat aloof and rarely takes the initiative to get close to others. You can tell just by looking at how ordinary his relationships with his classmates are. Yet, he's made a group of friends, all of whom have complicated backgrounds.

But so be it. In terms of complexity... who can compare to their family? It's just children playing around, nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, Zhou Yuanjing is naturally happy to see Zhou Xiuwen getting closer to a group of children with clean backgrounds and good character, rather than those with ulterior motives.

He just hadn't expected to accidentally drag everyone into this mess, and this was the first time his son had shown such resistance. The other party didn't want to involve their friend in this mess...

Now that things have come to this, unless Zhou Xiuwen can persuade them to give up participating in this spectatorship without any reason, any disclosure that might involve inside information could risk exposing secrets. This is something Zhou Yuanjing absolutely cannot allow; it is an ironclad order from the military when carrying out a mission.

But the child reacted very strongly, so he gave the other party some opportunities to operate, including tampering with the transportation and even controlling a certain section of the road... However, the other party's methods were too weak and lacked courage. Once discovered, he couldn't help but stop, which resulted in the failure to stop him in the end.

His group of friends eventually made it to the stadium.

After this incident, the stubborn child will likely realize that his indecisive nature is no longer suitable and that he needs to cut ties with the past completely, or he will suffer the consequences in the future. Of course, it's not that Zhou Yuanjing is heartless, using someone else's child as a stepping stone for his own; rather, he didn't expect the military to go to such lengths. He thought it would just be a minor disturbance.

However, even with the assistance of others and the deployment of the most elite troops from the Third Army Corps, the enemy still encountered significant problems and ultimately failed in the personnel selection process, giving the rebels the opportunity to turn against them again and break through from within.

The military's miscalculation naturally disrupted Zhou Yuanjing's plans, resulting in numerous casualties, most of whom were innocent civilians caught in the crossfire, contradicting their initial intention to protect the people. Zhou Yuanjing knew this was also his responsibility and a dereliction of duty.

Those in the military who made mistakes must reflect on their actions and accept punishment. The same applies to their side; all they can do now is try their best to compensate the innocent civilians who lost their lives.

Thinking too far ahead, Zhou Yuanjing's initial joy at knowing his son had returned safely quickly faded.

He checked the time, then sent a message to Zhou Xiuwen, instructing him to call back later, before continuing his meeting with the generals.

Suddenly, a heavy knocking sound came from the conference room door. The group of military officers who had been whispering around the conference table fell silent and all looked up at the man in the main seat.

The other person nodded, cleared their throat, and said, "Please come in."

The heavy doors of the conference room were pushed open on both sides, revealing the figure behind them. It was Zong Ting, who had separated from Jiang Hui and the others not long ago.

The communication on the spaceship lasted for a long time, only ending recently. By the time he arrived at the main residence in the hovercar, Jiang Hui and the others had already settled into the small white building.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Zong Ting's work has only just begun.

--------------

Although it's called the Little White Building, it's probably just a descriptive name, because the building is actually quite large, standing to the right of the magnificent main residence.

This columnar building is five stories high. As its name suggests, the exterior walls are painted white, but not in a shiny way. Instead, they have a matte, glossy finish that contrasts with the greenery spiraling up the walls, giving it a mysterious feel.

According to Zhou Xiuwen, he doesn't actually come to this building very often. It seems that he has only come a few times since he moved into the Zhou residence. This is because he didn't have any relatives or friends to entertain here before, and even if he did, they usually wouldn't choose to stay here, so it has always been empty.

Jiang Hui and his group became the first guests to enjoy the building.

Although no one has moved in and the owners don't frequent the area, there are quite a few staff members responsible for the place. The building is regularly cleaned, so Jiang Hui and the others only need to bring their bags and move in.
