When Lu Chengzhou had dealt with everything from He Yidu and Qin Fang, he got ready to return to the capital.

Qin Fang put up a few weapons deals on a website called Dark Web. The destination was set to be on the sub island of Jijing Island.

There were a lot of dangerous businesses made on the Dark Web.

They were closely interconnected to the underground market of the sub island and they provided a lot of resources to them.

It was unclear where some of the items were being sent to but there was a high possibility that they were provided to Base 102.

Lin Shuang shut down her laptop and leaned back. Then, she looked at He Yidu and Qin Fang. “I’m done with the information doc.u.ments and the second private key to Dark Web.”

Qin Fang gave her a thumbs up. “Wow, rich lady, that’s very quick! Impressive!”

“Thanks.” Lin Shuang stretched out an arm. “Although you’ve praised me, you still have to pay up. I need to make a living too.”

Qin Fang was speechless.

He Yidu put a bank card into her hand.

…

At Jijing Island.

At the Elders’ a.s.sociation Council House.

In the meeting room with 200 people.

The people who were present at the time of Gu Mang’s Base 102 a.s.sessment had all made their way into the meeting room one by one.

There was also an additional batch of people. They were the various Department Chiefs of the management team on the island.

It was no longer a secret that Gu Mang was G.o.d Ji.

Also, Gu Mang’s people had caused such a huge commotion with the various major financial groups that they got on the news. Even now, the people from the financial groups were still fearful.

As such, no one dared to undermine the meeting.

It was a meeting at 3pm.

10 minutes before it started, the Head Elder and Huo Zhi were the only ones who had not arrived.

Elder Bi scanned the room and frowned slightly. Then, he lowered his voice. “Aren’t we just going to discuss the takeover ceremony for Base 102? Why are there so many people?”

Base 102 was considered to be a top secret location on Jijing Island. There were very few people who knew about it.

Every year, the Elders’ a.s.sociation would personally select people from the Jijing Special Inst.i.tute and send them for training. Everyone knew that they were sent for training, but they did not know the location.

Are they planning to make it public today?

What are the Head Elder and Huo Zhi going to do?

Elder Mo shook his head. “Could it be that Gu Mang caused too much of a commotion yesterday? Perhaps this meeting is not for discussing the takeover ceremony, but for dealing with yesterday’s turmoil?”

The sudden rise of Gu Mang’s power on Jijing Island was obviously a big deal.

They had to give the public an explanation.

Elder Bi’s eyes glowed.

Are they going to postpone Base 102 takeover ceremony?

Ye Junci and Elder Ye looked at each other.

Elder Ye turned his head and said softly, “When the a.s.sessment ended yesterday, Huo Zhi went to the Gu residence. There might be some changes today.”

Ye Junci crossed her legs and put her arms on the armrests casually. “Let’s see what Huozhi and the Head Elder say first.”

The members of the Elders’ a.s.sociation, the four major families and the research inst.i.tute were all thinking about the purpose of today’s meeting.

Before they came here, they were not informed of what they were going to do.

But it was definitely not going to be the takeover ceremony of Base 102.

At 2.59pm.

A few figures appeared at the entrance of the meeting room.

Everyone looked over.

When they saw the old man next to Huo Zhi, they all looked shocked.

Elder Ye’s eyes sank a little. “Madam, it’s Old Master Gu.”

“Why is he here at such a time?” Ye Junci frowned.

Old Master Gu has not been outside for over a decade. Why did he appear here all of a sudden today?

Huo Zhi, the Head Elder and Old Master Gu walked to the main seats at the front.

The entire meeting room was dead silent.

Huo Zhi pushed down the mic in front of him. “Ever since Ms. Gu returned, the news of me stepping down from the Director position has been circulating. This is not a rumor. Yesterday, Ms. Gu successfully pa.s.sed the Elders’ a.s.sociation’s test.”

At this point, everyone in the meeting room today understood.

They were not going to discuss the takeover ceremony of Base 102. Instead, Huo Zhi was going to step down.

As for the commotion that happened the day before, there was a high chance that it was related to the a.s.sessment.

And there was no need to mention explicitly who the new director was going to be.

It had not even been a month since Gu Mang returned.. Everything was happening way too quickly.
