Chapter 1201: Chapter 989: Fully Prepared_3

There’s a dedicated intelligence team in the military technology sector that constantly monitors Song Lan’s movements, yet to everyone’s surprise, his recent daily routine consisted of exercising, grocery shopping, and cooking at home.

Living harmoniously with those around him, he has a very positive image in the community, with many of the neighborhood residents hoping that this sunny, cheerful, and reliable young man would join the Residents’ Committee.

Intelligence personnel seriously doubted if they had been following the wrong person, as there was not the slightest hint of danger about him from head to toe. Even when they tried conversing with Song Lan in private, they unexpectedly received guidance from him, which helped them regain confidence and a passion for life.

Even Zero, with extensive experience, was baffled by this series of messages.

During this meeting, Zero finally had the opportunity to ask the question that had been weighing on her mind, "Song Lan, I have a personal question for you. Could it be... that you actually support our reform?"

This could be somewhat deduced from Song Lan’s attitude towards the Review Meeting and his work.

"Support, of course, I do,"

Song Lan said, "Reducing unnecessary expenses and reallocating them to increase social welfare and employee benefits, as well as the recent initiative you proposed to avoid unnecessary workplace consumption, can effectively reduce working hours, allow employees sufficient rest, and also motivate work enthusiasm and production efficiency. Minister Zero, I admire your courage; there are too few people these days who dare to do this."

...

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Zero found herself at a loss for words.

From a standpoint perspective, Song Lan was their number one enemy and the most significant threat of the new era, yet this dangerous individual had expressed approval for their reforms and had even praised her in person.

Receiving approval from Song Lan, her mood even felt somewhat elated for the first time in a long while.

No, this must be just a negotiation tactic.

Zero reminded herself in her mind.

She collected her thoughts and said, "If so, then how would you explain the actions of Qi He, the Rebel Army, the Lunar Eclipse Sect, and the Barrosa Group? As far as I know, they have always been investigating the location of the Devourer, ultimately aiming for the Destruction of mind-links, and these organizations all have intricate connections with you."

"Up to now, your ideology and the reforms being implemented are heading in a good direction. If there were more aspirants like you, I could rest easy and take an indefinite vacation."

Who wouldn’t want peace in the world and to enjoy a comfortable life at home every day, if possible?

"But unfortunately, it seems that those who command you are not satisfied with this. Perhaps they can’t even sleep soundly unless they remove me as an obstacle."

Upon hearing this, Zero suddenly tensed, and at the moment of making eye contact with Song Lan, she felt as if she was being seen through.

A chill crawled up her spine, as if it was the unique aura of death.

Indeed, the invitation from Song Lan had been a trap from the start.

But knowing that, why would he still choose to walk into it alone?

Besides the aforementioned connections, the military technology sector had also uncovered a close friend known as "Old Void" in the Neutral Country; if these forces were to unite, they would become a formidable power not to be ignored.

The outcome of this war remained uncertain.

"Then why come alone to meet?"

"Because I’ve been waiting for you."

"...?"

Zero was even more puzzled.

"If the failure comes from rash action, there would be many excuses like ’inadequate preparation,’ ’weak teammates,’ etc., and this dissatisfaction would evolve into many unnecessary troubles in the future."

"Mr. Song Lan, I don’t understand what you mean."

"I’m waiting for you to be fully prepared."

Song Lan said, "Whether it’s setting up traps, researching my abilities, or gathering all the forces and intelligence at your disposal, if you still lose under these conditions, perhaps you should learn to give up."

"Ding—"

The elevator reached the designated floor.

Located beneath the military technology building, it took a significant amount of time and effort to create this prison filled with spiritual energy suppression fields, dubbed the graveyard for psychics.

But suddenly, Zero realized that since meeting Song Lan, he had never once asked where this road would lead.

Although they were the ones who set the trap, why did she now feel like she was the one being played?

"Minister Zero."

Before stepping out of the elevator, Song Lan spoke up, "I just want to confirm one thing, this time, are you truly prepared?"
