Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

the other side.

Office of a military region commander.

Zou Jianguo, a high-ranking official in the military region, sat at his desk, his brows furrowed as he stared at the computer screen in front of him.

Ever since he learned that Li Mo'an had dug up thousands of conventional bombs in the Mushroom House, he had been worried. Although he grumbled and cursed, he was still concerned about the only son of the loyal and heroic Li family.

Therefore, he has been closely monitoring online developments.

Seeing that Wang Dafa from the garrison had already led his engineering corps there, and even the local bomb disposal team had entered the site, he felt a little more at ease.

I think they're just a bunch of old relics; once professionals arrive, it's just a matter of a little effort.

however.

Just now, when he habitually refreshed the webpage to check the bomb disposal progress...

A newly popped-up news article, bolded and even followed by three exclamation marks, stunned him.

[Breaking News! National Treasure-Level Expert Qian Chenghui Arrives at Site and Confirms Mushroom Village Possibly Contains Lost Nuclear Bombs from the "Project Jade Smash"!]

Zou Jianguo's hand holding the mouse suddenly trembled.

He was stunned for a moment.

His eyes, which were used to seeing all kinds of military secrets, were now fixed on the word "nuclear bomb" on the screen, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the screen.

If it were a conventional bomb that had been unearthed before, he could barely remain calm and might even mutter a few curses like, "This kid really knows how to cause trouble."

But now...

nuclear bomb?

This completely changes the nature of things!

This isn't just a matter of causing trouble or not; this is a complete disaster!

In that instant, Zou Jianguo had no complex strategic analysis in his mind, only an extremely absurd thought that he had to believe.

"Li Mo'an..."

"This kid..."

He took a deep breath, feeling utterly speechless, and even had an urge to roar to the heavens.

Wherever that kid is, something bad is bound to happen, and strange things are bound to occur!

Doesn't this prove it true?!

Although the news said that Qian Lao found the place using a map, Zou Jianguo thought that this was hardly a coincidence.

If Li Mo'an hadn't gone there, if he hadn't dug up that pile of conventional bombs and caused such a commotion, would it have attracted attention from all sides? Would it have led to what happened next?

It's like a powder keg that's been buried there for decades without any problems, but as soon as Li Mo'an arrives, before he even lights it, the powder keg starts smoking on its own!

"No, this is too big of a deal."

Zou Jianguo suddenly came to his senses and felt a chill run down his spine.

Conventional bombs can be considered accidents, but once nuclear bombs are involved, it becomes a world-shaking event.

He didn't have time to think much, or even consider the consequences, before grabbing the phone on the table.

Without any hesitation, he skillfully dialed the dedicated line of Zhao Dashan of the Yunnan Provincial Military Region.

Perhaps the other party hasn't seen this news yet.

........................................

at the same time.

Yunnan Provincial Military Region, Chief's Office.

Zhao Dashan's condition at this moment was even worse than Zou Jianguo's.

He was staring blankly at the large screen on the wall, which was broadcasting Qian Zhongshu's speech at the scene.

When Zhao Dashan heard Qian Lao say, "I'm here to find a nuclear bomb," the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

He was completely dumbfounded.

Really.

It's actually true.

As the military commander in charge of the area, he certainly knew bits and pieces about the "Operation Jade Shattering," but he had only heard of it.

But to his utter surprise, this legendary thing was buried right under his nose, in a small mountain village where a variety show was being filmed!

Just as Zhao Dashan's mind was buzzing and he hadn't fully processed this earth-shattering revelation...

"Ring ring ring—!!!"

The phone on the desk suddenly rang, its urgent ringing sounding particularly jarring in the quiet office.

Zhao Dashan was startled and subconsciously glanced at the caller ID.

It's Zou Jianguo.

He took a deep breath, tried to steady his trembling hands, and picked up the receiver.

"Hey, Lao Zou."

On the other end of the phone, Zou Jianguo's voice sounded a little dry. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point:

Have you seen the news?

Zhao Dashan gave a wry smile and glanced at the live stream on the big screen:

"I'm watching the game now."

"Professor Qian was there in person, and he said it himself... so it's probably true."

Upon hearing Zhao Dashan's words, Zou Jianguo remained silent for two seconds.

Clearly, his purpose in calling was to inform the other party as soon as possible that there might be a nuclear bomb at the Mushroom House, fearing that Zhao Dashan might not have received the news yet, or might not have taken it seriously enough.

After all, nuclear weapons, if not handled properly, can be a huge disaster.

But now that the other party already knows, and Mr. Qian is even on-site to oversee things, things have changed.

There's not much more to say about that.

Things have gone far beyond the scope of two old comrades simply exchanging information and reminders.

"Okay, I understand."

Zou Jianguo sighed, his tone complex, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end it all boiled down to a helpless admonition:

"Since Professor Qian is here, let's listen to the expert."

"that's all."

After saying that, Zou Jianguo hung up the phone.

........................................

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Zhao Dashan slowly put down the receiver.

He plopped down in the chair, feeling as if all his strength had been drained away.

Only at this moment, after hanging up the phone, did I begin to recover slightly from the extreme shock.

Zhao Dashan finally realized something.

Something that made him shudder and even sent chills down his spine.

He couldn't help but swallow, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

He suddenly remembered the scene not long ago when Zou Jianguo first called him about the bomb.

At that time, Zou Jianguo repeatedly emphasized to him on the phone that Li Mo'an was "strange" and that he must take it seriously and treat it as a major matter.

What was I thinking at the time?

Although he verbally agreed and sent Wang Dafa over there, he actually felt that Lao Zou was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Even at the time, in an attempt to comfort Lao Zou, he couldn't help but casually remark:

"No matter how strange that kid is, he's just a burrower."

"Could it be that he's going to dig up a nuclear bomb with a single stroke of his shovel?"

At the time, it was just a casual joke, a remark made to tease Zou Jianguo for being too sensitive.

But now...

Zhao Dashan stared at the glaring word "nuclear bomb" on the screen, and felt his lips twitch uncontrollably.

This statement, to a certain extent, has actually come true!

Although Li Mo'an didn't dig out this nuclear bomb with his own hoe.

However, there really was a nuclear bomb where Li Mo'an was!

Moreover, it was precisely because he was digging there and making such a commotion that he attracted Mr. Qian and discovered the nuclear bomb.

The cause-and-effect relationship here is absolutely chilling.

"This...this is too eerie..."

Zhao Dashan muttered to himself, feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

This is absolutely bizarre!

He had seen all sorts of grand occasions in his life, but he had never seen anyone with such a jinxed personality and a weapon of causality.

If he had known earlier that this kid had such a "poisonous" constitution, he would never have dared to say those things back then!

it's good now.

Good things don't come true, but bad things do.

They actually "attracted" the nuclear bomb.

Zhao Dashan was genuinely scared at this moment, and he no longer doubted Zou Jianguo's previous words about Li Mo'an being "strange".

Just as Zhao Dashan was feeling terrified by Li Mo'an's appalling "evil" constitution and was sitting in his chair wondering which task to assign first.

Sudden.

On the desk.

That dedicated phone line rarely rings, and is only used when there is a major emergency military situation or when receiving the highest-level orders.

Without warning, it started ringing.

"Ring ring ring—!!!"

The voice was more urgent than the phone call from Zou Jianguo earlier, and the tone seemed higher, exuding an undeniable air of authority.

Zhao Dashan was jolted awake, as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly jumped up from his chair.

He looked at the caller ID on the phone.

That special, short number made his pupils suddenly contract.

He's a top-tier big shot.

That is, one of the highest-ranking members of the entire military system.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhao Dashan is now the highest-ranking officer in the provincial military region, a powerful regional governor, and a general on his shoulders.

But in front of that person, in his youth, he was merely a lowly soldier who had served as her bodyguard.

That person was truly someone with extraordinary connections and influence.

The moment the phone rang, it meant that this matter was no longer just about causing a sensation.

Instead, it thoroughly alarmed the top leadership.
