The call connected quickly, and a deep voice sounded, “Lao Xiao, is there something important?”

Old Master Xiao glanced at Zhou Chao beside him, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Top-secret matter, convene a meeting!”

There was silence from the other end for a while before a response came, “Are you sure? This is no joking matter.”

“I know. I’m on my way to you now. I’ll be there in no more than 10 minutes!”

“Alright, I understand.” The other party hung up after speaking.

Old Master Xiao sighed with some melancholy and said, “Kid, I hope you’re not joking. Otherwise, you’ll see how I deal with you.” With that, he pretended to glare at Zhou Chao menacingly.

“Grandpa, rest assured. This is a matter concerning future development. How could I dare to joke about it?” Zhou Chao said with a calm expression, but his trembling legs betrayed the excitement in his heart.

Old Master Xiao nodded and began to ponder.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of a red building. After a brief inspection, the car Zhou Chao was in drove in, with Xiao Zhong now behind the wheel.

There were only three of them in the car; the others remained in the parking lot outside.

After about three to five minutes of driving, the car stopped in an open area, with several similar Hongqi cars parked nearby.

“You wait here. I’ll take Zhou Chao in.” Old Master Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhong and said.

Xiao Zhong didn’t speak, just nodded silently. Zhou Chao followed Old Master Xiao into the building. After walking for about three minutes, they arrived at what seemed to be a conference room, guarded by four armed security personnel.

As soon as they entered, they saw several people sitting inside, with Li Lao’s figure among them. When Zhou Chao saw who was inside, he was stunned.

“Lao Xiao, what’s so urgent that you had to convene a special meeting?” Li Lao noticed Zhou Chao following behind Old Master Xiao.

“Ahem, everyone’s here. Lao Xiao, tell us what’s so important,” said the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat.

At this moment, Zhou Chao still looked bewildered, not yet recovering from the shock. After all, these people in the room were usually only seen on television. There was also a young man standing beside him, holding a pen and notebook.

Old Master Xiao reached out and gently patted Zhou Chao, who then snapped out of it.

“This kid suddenly returned to Jingdu today and came straight to my house, telling me he has complete information on controlled nuclear fusion.”

“What did you say?” Several voices sounded, even the person sitting in the main seat was no longer calm.

“Lao Xiao, this matter can’t be a joke. You know what’s at stake!” Li Lao’s expression also turned serious.

“I know. Have you seen the briefcase he’s holding? All the relevant information is in there.” Old Master Xiao took the briefcase from Zhou Chao and placed it on the table.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the briefcase. Zhou Chao, now composed, began to observe the big shots in the room.

After a brief silence, the person sitting in the main seat spoke up, “Xiao Wang, take this young man to rest nearby for a while. Also, inform Academician Jiang and the others to come here immediately. You wait for them outside when they arrive.”

Under the guidance of a man named Xiao Wang, Zhou Chao arrived at a resting lounge. There were still two people standing at the door, and Xiao Wang exchanged a few words with them before quickly leaving. Zhou Chao understood that he could only stay here for the time being, but fortunately, there was food on the table and a bookshelf behind him.

For some reason, Zhou Chao’s phone had no signal, so he picked up two books from the shelf and started reading.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, with even the sky outside displaying the unique scenery of the setting sun.
