Chapter 125 The Chat Group Gathering

In the White House, President Ellis rested his right hand on a stack of documents and looked at Vice President Rodriguez.

"The matter of internal energy is causing quite a stir right now, and the research experiments have been confirmed. What do you think should be done about Bai Ye's situation?"

"You mean the genetic modification? I think it's great," Rodriguez smiled. "Compared to increased life expectancy, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Every year, our government spends a lot of money on medical insurance for its citizens. Now that we have internal support, they don't even get sick anymore, which means we save a lot of money. However, the retirement age should be extended for several more decades."

As Rodriguez spoke, his face, which had originally shown signs of aging, now had a rosy complexion and was full of vitality. After ten years of internal energy conditioning, he had actually experienced a second spring.

"But Bai Ye has gone too far now, and many people below have opinions about him. If we continue to ignore it, it may affect the next election," Ellis said with difficulty.

Upon hearing Ellis's words, Rodriguez's expression changed slightly. He said, "You haven't already done something, have you? Don't forget Bai Ye's personality. Don't let the blood splatter on me."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything," Ellis said, shaking her head, but Rodriguez understood perfectly what she meant.

Do nothing, neither support nor oppose, leave everything to the people below to do, and then as president, you'll be completely uninvolved.

Anyway, there's still some time before the next presidential election. Let the people below make a fuss then, and wait for the underground and Baiye to fight it out and decide who wins.

Just wait until the final result is almost out before placing your bet.

"Who do you think will win in the end?" Ellis asked with an expression as calm as a mountain, like a fisherman sitting alone on a fishing platform.

"Bai Ye, those who are waiting to extend their lifespans can't possibly make him fail; they're just not openly supporting him right now, just like us."

Rodriguez pondered, "At least until the value of White Night has been fully exploited, these people won't let him die."

"I think so too, so all we need to do now is direct the public's anger toward Bai Ye and stay out of it."

Ellis smiled confidently and said, "No matter how arrogant Bai Ye is, he can't possibly attack the government. We have no grudge against him, and we're just spectators, how could we possibly get shot to death?"

"As for the ordinary people who were killed or injured by Bai Ye, those were necessary sacrifices, helpless choices, and growing pains of development. They are not our fault."

Ellis shrugged and said, "After all, we didn't let them face off against Bai Ye."

"Won't they take action against the government...?" Rodriguez felt uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.

With this unease, his gaze fell on a page of a document titled "Hearing Regarding the Victims and Inner Strength of the White Night Fanatics."

"What is this?" Rodriguez asked, looking down at the document in confusion.

"Oh, the hearing regarding Bai Ye, but as you know, we recently received news from Kingpin that Bai Ye suddenly disappeared for a while, so the summons for this hearing probably won't reach him."

Ellis laughed and said, "It's just a bunch of people talking nonsense; nobody's going to take it seriously."

Rodriguez nodded slightly, but felt his unease growing stronger, and decided to do something.

At the Doom Group, Susan, Johnny, and others got to work, while Bai Ye sat idly browsing aerospace data to pass the time.

Just then, Kingpin called.

"Mr. Bai, the Vice President asked me to give you his regards," Kingpin said.

"Vice President? That Rodriguez?" Upon hearing this title, Bai Ye immediately remembered who Kingpin was referring to: "That old bastard, why is he trying to curry favor with me if he hasn't done anything wrong?"

"The Vice President said that recent public opinion has been somewhat unfavorable to you, and he hopes that you can be a little more patient. He said that the higher-ups are all on your side," Kingpin said.

"You're quite filial, aren't you? To put it bluntly, I support you, but I won't show it," Bai Ye chuckled, his ear close to the phone.

While answering the phone call, Bai Ye also spared some attention for the chat group.

【Deep Blue】: @All members, I'm getting ready to throw a party, anyone want to come?

"A party?" Everyone in the group was stunned. Were they going to meet up in person?

However, these people weren't too opposed to Bai Ye's invitation. Besides, Bai Ye had just uploaded a cultivation technique, so they had to accept it even if it was just to give him face.

[Gentleman Sword]: Senior Deep Blue has shown me great kindness and virtue; I, the junior, will certainly go to repay your kindness.

[Master Luo]: Of course, no problem. Call me, Lao Luo, whenever you come.

【Kana Kimishima】: Okay, senpai.

Soon, group members started flooding the chat with messages saying they were fine.

Seeing this, Bai Ye thought for a moment and then said to Kingpin on the other end of the phone, "I need to invite a few friends to a party tomorrow night. Can you help me with the arrangements?"

"A party? Of course, no problem, I guarantee it will be a complete success," Kingpin assured him, while preparing to be fully focused on the task at hand.

On Mount Hua, Yue Buqun looked at Shen Lan's invitation in the group chat and began to rack his brains to think about what gift he should present when they met so as to leave a good impression on his senior.

After all, Bai Ye had done him such a big favor, so he had to express his gratitude.

But he soon saw Deep Blue's message in the group.

【Deep Blue】: It's just a simple gathering, a casual get-together is fine, no need to make it too formal, and no need to send gifts or anything, I'm very rich, I don't need your little bit, I'll send an invitation in the group chat, you can just click accept.

"What a lavish statement," Kimishima Kana remarked, a hint of curiosity rising in her mind about this wealthy Deep Blue senior, wondering how he compared to Stark from the same world.

In the world of Mr. Zombie, Lin Jiu gazed silently at his dilapidated mortuary, filled with envy. He could only mutter to himself, "Money is just an external thing; I'll have more later."

Soon, a day passed in the blink of an eye. After arriving at the venue that Kingpin had prepared, Bai Ye sent a cross-time invitation to the group.

[Deep Blue]: Everyone, get ready and accept my invitation.

Group member [Deep Blue] sent a crossover application to the chat group, with 0 out of 5 members.

Almost the instant Bai Ye extended the invitation, Yue Buqun and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, pressed the "accept" option. The space in front of them instantly changed, jumping directly from their own world to this one.

In New York City, in front of the Empire State Building where the hearing was held, as it was the first meeting recently to criticize the White Nights, reporters carried cameras and broadcast the footage to the outside world.
