Break out of the courtyard

Just as the American was making his demands, Zhang Pandi, the second sister, happened to step out of the elevator and into the corridor.

"Going to the library is fine, but forget about this year's admissions. Let them apply again next year!" Zhang Heping replied to the head of the US embassy in Hong Kong, then glanced at his second sister before going back to his experiments.

When Director Alex heard that Zhang Heping was willing to grant access to the library, he stopped insisting on this year's enrollment issue, lest he anger Zhang Heping and cause him to refuse to see them again later!

Furthermore, since Zhang Pandi stood aside without saying a word after arriving, it was obvious that she had something to say until the outsiders left, so Curator Alex couldn't stay any longer.

Once the outsiders left, Zhang Pandi walked over to the speaker near the glass partition. "Brother, did you agree to let the American students experience the virtual learning dream?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Heping replied casually.

Although Zhang Pandi was also worried that American students might learn some technical skills if they entered the virtual learning dream world, she didn't say anything more since Zhang Heping had already agreed.

The reason she asked this question was mainly because she hadn't heard Zhang Heping's conversation with the American earlier, and she just wanted to confirm it.

"Aunt Wang just called me, hoping you can come back to the capital. She said there's a National Day tea party tomorrow night and she'd like you to attend." Zhang Pandi explained her purpose, then looked curiously at the objects in the laboratory.

"I'm busy!" Zhang Heping refused decisively. "I already refused her yesterday, and when I asked her what it was about, she wouldn't say!"

“I do know a little about it!” Zhang Pandi said with a smile, “Isn’t the Chinese Academy of Sciences planning to set up a brain-computer interface technology research institute in Shenzhen?”

"I heard they intend to make you the director of this research institute."

Zhang Heping paused, looked up at his second sister in the corridor, and pondered the pros and cons of this matter for his eldest nephew, Zhang Yi.

If Zhang Heping were to become the dean of that secondary college within the Chinese Academy of Sciences, setting aside the issue of rank and benefits, it would naturally be much easier to promote his nephew later on.

A moment later, Zhang Heping asked, "Where did you hear that from? How credible is it?"

“It was one of the girls in our group who told us. She has an uncle who works at the Science and Technology Commission,” Zhang Pandi said with a smile. “I think someone in the capital sent this girl to pass on a message to us. Do you think we should go to the capital to confirm?”

Zhang Heping closed the regenerative brain culture tank in front of him, then walked to the sink and washed his blue gloves as he said, "All sides want the brain-computer interface technology I have. There's a high probability that the domestic authorities want me to be the director and set up a brain-computer interface technology research institute."

“However…” Zhang Heping took off his gloves, walked to the laboratory door, and frowned before continuing, “I think the reason they called me back this time is to make me stop my propaganda attacks against Japan!”

“With anti-Japanese sentiment running high right now, anyone who dares to advise you is a traitor!” Zhang Pandi sneered. “When the time comes, you just need to publish his name and what he said, and I guarantee he’ll be in deep trouble.”

"What if it's that person?" Zhang Heping pointed his right index finger at the ceiling.

Zhang Pandi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and then frowned.

The siblings went downstairs with grim faces, and then went together to the media building in the southeast corner.

Zhang Heping arrived at Heping Media Company and said slowly to Qu Zhouping, who came to greet him, "The US General Manager will be making a televised address at 8 p.m. on their end."

"I'll send you the video of his speech to your email later. Have them follow up and report on this!"

"Okay, boss!" Qu Zhouping hurriedly agreed, and then warmly invited Zhang Heping and Zhang Pandi to the general manager's office.

This kind of thing could be resolved with a phone call, but Zhang Heping brought his second sister over in person, which clearly meant there were other things he needed to tell her.

In addition, Qu Zhouping was somewhat relieved that he had arrived early today!

If this happened at any other time, the big boss would probably catch him being late.

Zhang Pandi thought about the previous problem for a while, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

While Qu Zhouping was looking for Pu'er tea, Zhang Pandi asked, "Brother, what do you think? Do you want to attend that tea party?"

"I'll go after I finish things here!" Zhang Heping replied casually, without explaining his thoughts.

Qu Zhouping found the Pu'er tea and returned to the coffee table. Instead of asking Zhang Heping about his purpose, he slowly and methodically began to perform the tea ceremony, which simply means washing the tea and the teacups.

With 9 o'clock fast approaching, Qu Zhouping hadn't finished his tricks yet, and Zhang Heping and Zhang Pandi hadn't even had a sip of tea.

However, this old guy didn't get to his current position simply by flattering Zhang Heping.

He glanced at the time on his left wristwatch, then called in the female secretary waiting at the door. "Have you found out which channel the US Chief Executive was on for his televised address?"

"It's Asia-Pacific Satellite TV!" the female secretary said with a smile. "Boss, should I turn on the TV now and search for Asia-Pacific Satellite TV?"

Zhang Heping nodded slightly as he met Qu Zhouping's gaze.

Qu Zhouping gave his female secretary a wink. After she went to turn on the television, Qu Zhouping looked at Zhang Heping again and said, "Asia Magnesium TV was formerly known as All Magnesium Television. It was reorganized and renamed last year and is the only Chinese-language television station in Huacheng."

"This television station is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has a branch office in Los Angeles on the West Coast..."

As Qu Zhouping introduced the situation of Asia-Pacific Satellite TV, he placed teacups in front of Zhang Heping and Zhang Pandi.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping was not interested in this, nor did he care how wide the coverage of Asia-Pacific Satellite TV was. He simply picked up the small teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

Time quickly came to 9 a.m. on Hong Kong Island, which was 20 p.m. in Wah Shing.

As Xiao Ke appeared on the television, the two sentences that Zhang Heping had just heard in the laboratory were quickly repeated by Xiao Ke on the television.

"Boss! You're amazing!" Qu Zhouping immediately started flattering Zhang Heping when he heard that the American Xiao Ke had publicly identified the Japanese Unit 731 and provided Zhang Heping with bacterial research data.

Zhang Heping opened his phone, checked his emails, and said, "Get the studio ready. I have a few words to say to the Japanese!"

"Okay!" Qu Zhouping replied and hurriedly looked at his female secretary, "Have Studio 1 get ready, the boss is going to record a TV speech."

"Okay, I'll go inform them right now!" After saying that, the female secretary turned around and quickly left the office.

"I've forwarded the video to you. Spread it out as soon as possible!" Zhang Heping said to Qu Zhouping. "Also, my speech will be released at 20 PM tonight."

"Okay, boss!" Qu Zhouping replied, and seeing that Zhang Pandi's teacup was empty, he hurriedly added some more tea.

Less than three minutes later, Qu Zhouping received a call from his female secretary, and everything in Studio 1 was ready.

As Zhang Heping arrived at Studio 1, and his face and nose were slightly touched up by the makeup artist, the group began a simple recording session.

It was simple because Zhang Heping only said a few words, and no director dared to find fault, much less ask for a retake. After Zhang Heping left the media building with his second sister, Zhang Pandi belatedly asked, "Brother, you made such a big fuss, and all you did was condemn Ridao?"

"What else can I do?" Zhang Heping got into the car and said to his second sister who had followed him in, "I could give them a taste of their own medicine, but if I did that, I would definitely be charged with a crime against humanity!"

Thinking of her third brother Zhang Heping's achievements in biochemical research, Zhang Pandi shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant!"

"What I want to say is, aren't you going to publicly seek compensation from the Japanese?"

“That’s a matter for the law firm, I don’t have time for it!” Zhang Heping casually explained, “The reason I made this televised address is twofold: first, to shut up some people in the capital, and second, to put an end to this war of public opinion.”

"Instead of continuing to waste money on propaganda wars, it would be better to donate that money to Hope Primary Schools in China."

After parting ways with his second sister, Zhang Heping went to arrange other matters.

When Ma Xiuzhen and Ma Zhiyi heard that Zhang Heping was going back to the capital, even if it was just for two days, they wanted to go with him.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Heping boarded the plane with his family and bodyguards at 5 p.m.

After they disembarked at the Capital Airport and boarded the convoy that had come to pick them up, Zhang Heping's televised address, which he had recorded that morning, was already broadcast.

On the way back, the guard Xiao Qin in the passenger seat turned to look at Zhang Heping and asked, "Advisor Zhang, you've collected so much evidence about Unit 731 on the Japanese island, just to condemn them a few times?"

Zhang Heping's motivation wasn't those few words of condemnation; it was to prevent Japan and the US from having an excuse to stand on the moral high ground and unite with other forces to search his biochemical laboratory!
He's not afraid of the Americans taking a hard line, after all, he has the backing of mainland China.

But what if someone on the mainland also wants to search his biochemical laboratory and try to steal the preparation method of the Lifespan 120 drug?
There are definitely some, and quite a few at that.

However, Zhang Heping's reputation is currently at its peak!

Putting aside his six Nobel Peace Prizes and the currently popular brain-computer interface, the free trial of the Lifespan 120 drug alone is something that some people wouldn't dare to mess around with!
Because when Zhang Heping gets angry, he really will stop the production of Lifespan 120 medicine!

Think back to last year, during the five months when Shouyuan 120 medicine was shut down, how many people in China were so anxious they were jumping up and down cursing!

Rather than saying Zhang Heping was dealing with the Japanese, it would be more accurate to say he was guarding against being stabbed in the back by his own people!
"What do you think Elder Hua and the others want me to do?" Zhang Heping said meaningfully, "If they want to retake that area, 1 troops will be enough for me."

"I'll lead the charge, and they'll take over the town and deal with the bodies."

Guard Xiao Qin opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong with what he said, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

In addition to the airport pickup mission, he only had one inquiry mission on his side this time.

Since Zhang Heping had answered, there was no need for the guard, Xiao Qin, to say anything more.

After escorting Zhang Heping and his group to the north bank of Houhai, and after returning to Old Hua's house to report, the guard Xiao Qin learned from the other elders what the problem he had sensed earlier was!
“Advisor Zhang only needs 1 troops to recapture that area!” A slender old man in military uniform looked at Old Hua, who was reading a newspaper beside him, and said with a smile, “You’ve convinced me. What do you think, should we let him give it a try?”

"Try what?" Old Li put down his phone, took off his glasses, and said with a wry smile, "The Umbrella Corporation has 23,000 bodyguards alone, not to mention the security guards and the trainees who are still in training."

"Think about it carefully, does he really want 1 troops?"

“We have a legitimate reason to send troops!” Old Yang, who was sitting next to Old Hua and also reading the newspaper, slowly spoke up. “What Advisor Zhang wants is not soldiers, but a legitimate reason to send troops without any worries about the future!”

An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, smoking by the window, exhaled a puff of stale air and said, "Is it possible to use only 1 troops?"

"Assuming that Consultant Zhang can really do it, then it must involve some unconventional methods!"

"From this, we can infer that Consultant Zhang could also manage with 1 bodyguards!"

"So, he not only wants a legitimate reason to use his methods, but he also wants us to clean up the mess he makes with his extreme measures!"

"Extraordinary measures!" The old man smoking beside him chuckled. "Little Qin just said that Consultant Zhang will lead the charge, and we'll be responsible for taking over the town and dealing with the corpses!"

"Have you noticed that he didn't mention accepting prisoners? The fact that there were no prisoners is his extraordinary measure!"

"Alright!" Old Hua put down his newspaper, took off his glasses, and tossed them onto the table beside him. "This is getting more and more outrageous!"

"Do you think Consultant Zhang can't guess the reason for calling him back this time?"

"When Consultant Zhang spoke to Xiao Qin, was he speaking to Xiao Qin or to us?"

When Zhang Heping answered the guard Xiao Qin, he clearly expected that the other party would relay his words to Elder Hua and the others verbatim.

Therefore, it's less of an answer and more of Zhang Heping's dissatisfaction, or even a grumble.

More than eight months have passed since Zhang Heping's biochemical laboratory was robbed, and no one has yet discovered the true harm of the stolen viruses.

The longer this is discovered, the more room there is for disputes and misunderstandings.

At that time, Zhang Heping also wanted to show them their disgusting faces of refusing to admit anything.

However, on the other hand, besides many foreigners, there are also many descendants of foreign genes on the island today.

Under the cover of outsiders, the potential for mutations left by the stolen virus at the genetic level will be extremely well concealed, and the discovery of those hidden sequelae will be greatly delayed.

However, there are uncertainties, namely the island's indigenous people who prefer inbreeding.

If they are unable to reproduce, they will definitely seek medical help everywhere.

……

In a conference room in an island nation, a group of people dressed in kimonos are watching Zhang Heping's televised speech.

"Regarding the accusations by certain forces that my laboratory had a virus leak that caused the flu outbreak, I would like to clarify this matter here!"

"First of all, in the biochemical laboratory, I research things like longevity potions and regeneration repair fluids that can benefit all mankind, unlike some forces that are researching bacterial weapons in an attempt to destroy all mankind!"

"Secondly, have any forces entered my lab? How did they know that my experiments contained viruses that could cause colds?"

"Finally, I must condemn certain forces here. They are born human, yet they act like humans..." (End of Chapter)
