Chapter 484: Secret Meeting

“How’s that possible…”

Hearing Nancy’s words, many people once again looked in Yu Qi’s direction and Yu Qi was even more stunned. “That’s impossible. The Quantum Laboratory is the top secret of the Earth Federation. There are only a few thousand higher-ups who know of the lab, which is surrounded by a hundred miles of uninhabited region. How could the legal owner of Blacklight Biotechnology appear there?”

“That’s for China to answer.”

Nancy snorted. “No one knows what happened but the witness did see him. The witness was a shield bearer from Northern America who had just resigned. He was originally going to act as a technical consultant and hand over the position to a new shield bearer. When the disaster happened, he quickly hid in the quantum core area and survived, becoming one of the few survivors in the laboratory.”

Hearing the argument between the two, Kirsty, as the chairman of this month, suddenly looked as if he had a headache. Due to political reasons, he mostly had to maintain the same stance as Northern America. However, this event was too unbelievable which made things difficult for him.

Even so, just as the venue was becoming noisy, there was a knock on the door outside the venue. Kirsty immediately picked up the gavel and banged on the table to make everyone quiet. Then, he saw a soldier in the uniform of the United Front coming in.

As soon as the soldier walked in, he went straight to the rostrum, and then he said something into Kirsty’s ears. Kirsty looked at the soldier with a look of astonishment when he heard the words and then looked outside the door again. Then he said, “Today’s emergency meeting has temporarily ended. Alright, meeting adjourned!”

With that, he banged the gavel again, shot a meaningful glance at Nancy, then turned hurriedly and left the venue.

Seeing Kirsty suddenly leave, everyone was even more astounded. For a while, the place was in chaos. Many people gathered together and discussed in whispers the precious information that they had just heard.

Seeing that Kirsty had left in a hurry, Nancy seemed to think of something. He glanced at Yu Qi who was opposite, then followed Kirsty out and disappeared outside the door of the conference room.

Seeing these two people leave in such a sneaky manner, Yu Qi’s expression was stormy and uncertain. After all, before he was suddenly attacked, his superiors had given him no warning and he was completely ignorant of all this.

Moreover, although the various continents of the Earth Federation were frequently in lively conflict, in the United Front, there were not many instances of slander or defamation. Even if they had wanted to make a scapegoat out of China, they would not have picked such a lousy story.

Did this mean that Blacklight Biotechnology was involved in this matter?

Thinking of this, Yu Qi’s heart also trembled in shock.

He was secretly rather opposed to the sudden rise of Blacklight Biotechnology. As a politician, he had the natural instinct of every politician, which was to control everything in his hands and maintain stability, without any unexpected situations.

Civilization needed stability, thus the Earth Federation existed.

The country needed stability, thus the army and nuclear weapons existed.

The people needed stability, thus the law existed…

However, the existence of Blacklight Biotechnology had broken this stability.

All the continents were well aware of what this company had done in Africa — starting from the construction of the nuclear power plant four years ago. Then, based on the unique advantages brought by the nuclear power plant, an entire city was built. At the same time, the company vigorously developed the industry system, tying the entire country’s population to its own chariot of interests.

It took the people of the entire country as hostages and bit by bit turned the government of this country into a mere figurehead.

By now, how many rights did Namibia have to itself?

In addition, looting all kinds of rare resources in Africa in the form of transactions was also the company’s specialty. It even secretly subsidized the rebels to launch a coup to obtain germanium mines from a small country until the germanium mines had completely fallen into its pockets.

Originally, this kind of company should have been dismantled by the Earth Federation’s sanctions a long time ago and its legal owner should be sent to the Federal International Court of Justice. Nonetheless, this company had enticed countless European and American consortia into joining its forces with its ultra-advanced biotechnology, instantly turning the enemy into an ally, eliminating 80% of the resistance.

Strictly speaking, these tactics were not that outstanding. It was not that other companies had never thought of doing all this, but those companies were a long way from the level of Blacklight Biotechnology in terms of technology.

As early as the beginning of this year, the Earth Federation had analyzed the biotechnology of Blacklight Biotechnology. Many experts believed that the level of biotechnology currently possessed by Blacklight Biotechnology had exceeded that of the Earth Federation by more than 50 years…

Blacklight Biotechnology had raised the level of biotechnology in the Earth Federation and even caused the entire human society to feel the impact of their biotechnology.

However, this was a beneficial thing for the entire humankind after all. Governments of all countries could only put up with this, half in agony, half in delight. In addition, the company was not monopolizing these technologies but was willing to sell them to all continents, which was why Blacklight Biotechnology could keep growing until it became the mammoth it was today.

Otherwise, the Earth Federation would simply charge this company with illegal monopoly or war crimes, which would force it to face the consequences of its actions.

Even so, later, this company acted fishier. First, the company suddenly broke out of its field and entered the electronics industry and even unveiled the black technology of holographic projection and brainwave control. After that, the gloves were off. The company began to get involved in the military industry and aerospace.

At this point, the Northern American Continent finally could not sit still and began planning to create conflicts to act against Blacklight Biotechnology.

What happened next was known to everyone. Blacklight Biotechnology was suspected of controlling a certain secret weapon, which once disrupted the normal social order in Northern America and eventually caused society to stop moving.

At this moment, a thought occurred to Yu Qi — everyone here was responsible for how powerful Blacklight Biotechnology had become.

He shook his head, walked out of the United Front conference room behind everyone else, and retrieved his mobile phone at the entrance.

Then he saw that the notification light of his mobile phone was green.

He instinctively turned on the phone and as expected, there was a caller ID, but when he saw the label of the caller ID, he felt a quick jolt.

The one who called him turned out to be his immediate superior!

Although Yu Qi was a representative of China in the Earth Federation United Front, he was not the top leader of China in this department. He was not even in the top three in command. He was equivalent to a spokesperson. The group’s direction was determined by the big shot behind all of them.

Without thinking, Yu Qi cleared his throat quickly and then immediately pressed the callback button.

The call was swiftly connected after only a brief beeping sound.

“Secretary Lin, were you looking for me?”

Yu Qi returned to using Chinese and spoke in clear syllables, “I was about to report to you that a major event has occurred in the Quantum Deity Laboratory, which is suspected to be related to the company Blacklight Biotechnology…”

“I already know.”

On the phone, the other party’s voice calmly said, “Now, head out of the conference room and come meet me in front of Door C in Hall 1.”

“Ah, Secretary Lin, have you come to the Earth Federation headquarters?”

Yu Qi was immediately stunned. It was no ordinary matter for Secretary Lin, who had always been so busy, to come to the Earth Federation headquarters in Switzerland. After all, as a leader at the continental level, every move would arouse endless suspicion. Moreover, the security of these leading figures was of utmost priority. Everything they did would cause a ripple effect.

Still, in the next second, Yu Qi knew that he had asked the wrong question. He did not wait for the other person to answer and said quickly, “I understand, I’ll come over right away!”

Then, Yu Qi hung up the phone.

He kept walking toward Hall 1, but he saw Nancy and Kirsty also walking in front of him. Based on their hurried footsteps, they seemed to be preparing to meet some big shots as well.

Yu Qi was even more puzzled. He followed them to Hall 1. However, at this moment, Nancy and Kirsty suddenly separated in front of him and walked in the direction of Door A and Door B respectively.

Those two directions were also the entrances of Hall 1, just like the terminals of an airport. To better receive travelers, the airport had multiple terminals to welcome passengers from all over the world and the same was true with Hall 1. To welcome the leaders of various countries and prevent two parties from meeting awkwardly at the entrance, every time the higher-ups of the countries arrived at the Earth Federation, they would be diverted through various entrances.

Seeing this scene, Yu Qi was stunned. Sure enough, not only his immediate superior but also the big bosses of Nancy and Kirsty had come…

It seemed that the Earth Federation was going through something extraordinary…

Thinking of this, Yu Qi no longer paid attention to the whereabouts of the two. He directly followed the route to the entrance of Door C.

Suddenly, Yu Qi saw a group of guards with real swords and guns walking out of a car, surrounding his immediate superior.

“Sec, Secretary Lin!”

Yu Qi hurriedly rushed forward, about to shake hands with the other man, but the old man called Secretary Lin just waved his hand and at the same time stepped aside.

At this point, Yu Qi realized that there was another person behind Secretary Lin!

He was a refined-looking man, about sixty years old, with swept-back hair that was meticulously combed. At this time, he was smiling and walking toward Yu Qi.

When Yu Qi saw this man’s face clearly, his head suddenly buzzed and his brain totally crashed!

“Comrade Little Yu, thank you for your hard work here.”

Seeing Yu Qi’s expression, the man could not help but smile lightly and at the same time, stretched out his hand toward Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was an elite after all. After seeing the man speaking to him, he immediately recovered from his daze. He grasped the man’s hand with both hands and said excitedly, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard at all!”

Seeing this, the man smiled kindly and then walked toward the inside of the hall, surrounded by guards.

“Little Yu, let’s go too.”

Behind him, Secretary Lin patted Yu Qi on the shoulder and exhorted, “You’re our representative in the Earth Federation United Front. You have many years of diplomatic experience and are outstanding in terms of work ability. Therefore, the leader called for you to participate in this important meeting.”

While speaking, Secretary Lin secretly warned, “Remember, talk less and observe more at the meeting. You must remember every detail in the meeting. This is very important to us, understand?”

“Yes!”

Seeing this, Yu Qi naturally had no choice of shirking his duties. He nodded repeatedly. After Secretary Lin stepped forward, he followed behind at an appropriate distance.

Being able to participate in such a major conference was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to continue climbing up and even enter the core of power in China!

Thinking of this, Yu Qi only felt a surge in his heart. He quickly took a deep breath and followed everyone into an elevator.

However, Yu Qi looked at the buttons in the elevator but found that no one had pressed the buttons all the while. He could not help but look at his immediate superior in confusion, but the other party seemed to know what he was thinking and only shook his head silently.

About ten seconds later, the elevator doors closed with a “ding”.

Yu Qi was wondering why no one had pressed any buttons in the elevator when he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. He subconsciously looked at the elevator display, only to find that the screen display was going by negative numbers!

In other words, the elevator was not heading upward at this time, but was going downward!

What, after having stayed here for so long, he did not even know that there were underground facilities in the Earth Federation headquarters?

Yu Qi was extremely surprised but when the elevator arrived at its floor, he recalled something when he saw Secretary Lin stepping out of the elevator first and skillfully guiding the elegant man forward.

Secretary Lin used to be a spokesperson like Yu Qi was. It was after several years of training in this position in the United Front that he finally got on top and became the present Secretary Lin…
