Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Singapore International Hotel.

Chairman Li Guangya, who had been attending the meeting all day, was sitting in the study room as he meticulously dealt with today’s official affairs.

The war had come to an end, and the ALPHA virus was cracked by the Hippocampus Group’s update patch. The crisis that had swept the world had finally disappeared at an unexpected speed. In any case, this was a happy thing.

However, for some reason, since the morning, his eyelids had been twitching all morning.

Although Li Guangya was not a superstitious person, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart that told him that something bad would happen soon.

“Is it because I am too tired?”

Taking off the digital glasses on the bridge of his nose, Li Guangya stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, from January to now, I haven’t taken a day off.

Although this kind of work rhythm was almost the norm for a job like the chairman of the board, any person would feel uncomfortable when under high pressure for a long time.

“After leaving Singapore, I’d better take time to rest for two days.”

Thinking of this, he regained his spirits while sitting at the desk.

The mountain of work would not be reduced because of vacations, especially after the war had just ended. Guanghan City needed to be rebuilt, the industries on the earth that had been damaged by the ban on bionics were waiting to be developed, and there were still many things that he needed to decide on.

If he wanted to take a break from the busy schedule, he would have to wait until everything was completed.

Just when he had entered the flow state, there was a knock on the door.

The pen in his hand stopped moving. Li Guangya frowned and stood up from the desk.

Who would come here so late?

He stepped forward and opened the door of the room.

Seeing the man escorted by the two guards to his door, Li Guangya’s face showed an unexpected expression.

“Secretary Xu?”

Xu Anguo, the secretary for the office of the Pan-Asian Cooperation chairman, also served as an international relations consultant. He was considered to be a member of Li Guangya’s staff team and had been working conscientiously with him for many years.

He came with Li Guangya to this meeting in Singapore. It was just that Li Guangya didn’t quite understand what he wanted at this hour.

“Apologies to disturb you at this time, but I have something very important to discuss with you. Can I steal 10 minutes of your time?”

Thinking about what important things he might have to tell him, Li Guangya glanced at the guards standing on both sides of him and said, “You can… come on inside.”

After asking the guard to close the door, Li Guangya invited him into his room. They then sat on the sofa in the living room.

Li Guangya looked at him and asked, “What is it, can you say it now?”

Staring at Li Guangya for a while, Secretary Xu suddenly spoke.

“Do you yearn for eternal life?”

Eternal life?

Li Guangya was taken aback for a moment. He then frowned slightly.

“What do you mean?”

Looking at the man standing at the apex of Pan-Asian Cooperation, Xu Anguo continued, “I mean, if you can live forever, are you willing to become an eternal existence?”

“It’s a very interesting proposal… but honestly, it doesn’t appeal to me much.”

“Why?!”

Looking at how surprised Xu Anguo was, Li Guangya smiled and said, “Because I don’t really care about the length of my life. It’s long enough for me to do a few earth-shattering things in my lifetime. Of course, it may also be because I am only in my thirties and forties. Thinking about death is too early for me.”

Xu Anguo’s fist that was placed on his knee was slowly tightened before being slowly loosened. He sighed and said, “That’s a pity…”

Just when Li Guangya wanted to ask what was a pity, he suddenly found a pen facing him.

The silver-white shell exuded a piercing cold light under the light, and the opening of the black hole at the top clearly meant this wasn’t a pen for writing.

If Li Guangya’s guess was correct, this should be a pocket pistol disguised as a pen.

Looking at the pen pointed at him, Li Guangya calmed himself down first. He then asked, “Didn’t the guard search you?”

Xu Anguo said with a smile, “Fortunately, after seeing my ID, they just gave me a smile and didn’t search my body.”

“Really? They should be fired.” Li Guangya leaned back on the sofa. Even though he was pointed at by a gun, without the slightest fear on his face, he said, “Come on, tell me how much money made you betray your soul. I am also curious about how much my life is worth.”

“Money? Your life? You are mistaken, Mr. Chairman.” Xu Anguo smiled lightly and continued, “We only hope that you can join us, write your thoughts into the circuit boards, and accept eternal life.”

Write my thoughts into circuit boards?

In an instant, Li Guangya finally realized what the so-called eternity Secretary Xu meant.

“Are you a robot? No, it’s impossible…” he whispered. At this moment, he suddenly remembered a report sent by the Security Bureau.

Robots might have mastered brain-controlled chip technology and combined it with cloning technology to create a robot that was almost indistinguishable from normal people and possessed flesh and blood.

The reason why Ceres fell was precisely because of these robots that had penetrated into the Pan-Asian Cooperation army.

Thinking of this, Li Guangya finally felt a shudder in his heart.

He knew what the robot in front of him, who was disguised as a human, wanted to do to him.

They wanted to imprison him in the cage of the electronic world, change his body to another owner, and take the highest rights of Pan-Asian Cooperation.

“Farewell, Mr. Chairman—”

Before he could finish, something happened.

The robot sitting in front of him, as if it was turned off, sat there quietly.

Seizing the opportunity of this moment, Li Guangya quickly turned over and rolled behind the sofa while pressing the alarm on his body.

The door of the hotel was knocked open in an instant. Two guards armed with guns rushed in and quickly restrained Secretary Xu Anguo, who was sitting on the sofa with his pocket weapon, pressing him to the ground.

Looking at Xu Anguo who was restrained, Li Guangya got up from behind the sofa and shouted, “Search him, hurry up! See if there are any explosives on him!”

“Mr. Chairman… no other weapons were found.”

With a panic expression on his face, the guard gulped tremblingly.

Obviously, the guard had realized his previous mistake.

Although Li Guangya’s heart was boiling, he didn’t want to deal with a nobody like him, so he said, “Give him to the security department, and… all of you leave, don’t let anyone disturb me, I want to be alone.”

The two guards holding Secretary Xu left the room, closing the door behind them.

Li Guangya slowly leaned on the sofa, calming his emotions a little bit.

This was probably the first time he faced an assassination in his life. Fortunately, the robot suddenly crashed, or something. Otherwise, he would be more ill-fortuned today.

After all, no one would have thought that the person who wanted to kill him was actually his loyal employee.

“Is it destiny? Why am I alive…”

Li Guangya laughed. He tapped his right hand on his left wrist and opened the holographic interface.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to take a look at the calendar and remember this day.

However, at this moment, when his eyes landed on the calendar, his heart moved slightly, and he remembered something for a moment.

In two days…

Yuheng will arrive…

His pupils contracted slightly before dilating a moment later.

He immediately grabbed the phone and reached the People’s Liberation Army General Staff Department.

“Order the First Fleet to immediately stop the attack on Yuheng!

“Take our heroes home!”
