ATDIWR Chapter 81

Chapter 81 I am Ji An’s younger sister! Filemon returns to the country and becomes a traitor!…

“How can this be, this is impossible!” Han Yaokun was greatly shocked and refused to accept such a fact. He doubted, “Commander Gu, I have always trusted your character. But don’t you think this matter is too much of a coincidence? Zhao Zhen just picked a fight with Ji An, and then you turned around and locked him up, and then Commander Gu told me that Zhao Zhen betrayed the country.

Does Commander Gu think his words are credible?”

Gu Jinsheng was expressionless and frank, “If Director Han doesn’t believe it, he can go to the dungeon and ask personally. I haven’t touched a single finger on your subordinate.”

“M Nation and R Nation couldn’t reach an agreement with you, so they turned around and contacted Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen was jealous of Ji An, so he leaked Ji An’s information to M Nation and R Nation, including that he was the creator of spatial storage items and nutrition fluids.

We should thank Zhao Zhen for being able to catch the M Nation spies this time.

When the M Nation spy saw the treatment cabin at the base and wanted to inquire about it, he went to the research institute to find Zhao Zhen and was caught red-handed by the personnel we had arranged in advance.”

Gu Jinsheng continued, “Also, Wang Zhenghao in your research institute, he is also from M Nation and R Nation.

His reason for betraying the base is very simple and unpretentious, purely for profit.

M Nation and R Nation gave him enough benefits to instigate Zhao Zhen to target Ji An.

Wang Zhenghao felt this was not a big deal and readily agreed.

This incident regarding the Zombie King’s crystal core was caused by Wang Zhenghao fanning the flames within it, coupled with Zhao Zhen’s deep jealousy towards Ji An.” Along the way, Gu Jinsheng briefly explained the situation to Han Yaokun.

Han Yaokun could not accept that the research institute under his management had become a sieve, with so many spies appearing.

Gu Jinsheng then took him to the dungeon where the people were held. Ji An, being the central figure in this matter, went along with them.

The environment in the dungeon was very poor, which was beyond doubt, but Gu Jinsheng did not torture the people. All the researchers could see that there was not a single injury on their bodies, just that they were mentally frightened. They were all pale, like wandering souls.

As soon as Zhao Zhen saw Han Yaokun, he rushed over. He reached out from the iron bars and grabbed Han Yaokun’s clothes, crying profusely, “Teacher, Teacher, why did you just come! Commander Gu Jinsheng has almost tortured me to death. He abused his power for personal gain and forced me to confess to many things I didn’t do for Ji An’s sake. He even forced me to admit that I betrayed the country, just because I was jealous of Ji An.

Isn’t this absurd? With you here, how could I be jealous of a mere kid!”

Han Yaokun glanced at Gu Jinsheng and saw that Gu Jinsheng’s expression was calm and completely unconcerned about what Zhao Zhen was saying. His entire attention was focused on Ji An.

Han Yaokun steadied himself and said coldly, “Zhao Zhen, are you still trying to argue at this point?”

Zhao Zhen’s tearful, tragic expression stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered. He said to Han Yaokun, “Teacher, you believe him and not me. I have been with you for decades, going through countless trials and tribulations. Now you would rather believe the words of an enemy than my words.”

Han Yaokun closed his eyes. He seemed to suddenly become very discouraged and said, “They found the person who contacted you. Before I came to see you, I had already seen that person!”

Zhao Zhen’s expression changed, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, “Teacher, that person is someone they found to deceive you. Those words slandering me must have also been told by them.”

Gu Jinsheng said, “Then the things he confessed about how you contacted the human traffickers, and pretended to be an R Nation person, guiding them to kidnap children, capture Ji An, and even how you tampered with the command headquarters’ monitoring system to mislead the human traffickers into guessing that you were from the headquarters, are also fake?”

Zhao Zhen blurted out, “Impossible, how would he know these things? I never told anyone.”

Han Yaokun suddenly stumbled two steps and had to lean on the wall to stand firm. “Zhao Zhen, how did you become like this? I almost don’t recognize you!

What I said earlier about seeing some R Nation person was all fake. I just wanted to see your attitude.

In fact, before coming, and even before you personally admitted it, I didn’t believe you would betray the country. I sincerely thought Gu Jinsheng did something to you in between. But now you have admitted it yourself. You have truly disappointed me!”

Seeing that the situation was irreversible and everything was beyond redemption, Zhao Zhen stopped pretending. The tears in his eyes dried instantly. He showed a venomous expression and roared hysterically, “Why, why is this world so unfair! Ji An is just a little kid who hasn’t even grown hair yet, but he can come up with one groundbreaking invention after another, breaking through the barriers of the era!

And I followed behind you, year after year, day after day, and what did I ultimately get? After finally overcoming a common existence technology, it turned out that Ji An didn’t even bother with it before, but when he wanted to break through it, he did it in minutes!”

Zhao Zhen looked at Han Yaokun, “I’m not interested in that damned scientific research at all, and I don’t care if it can help more people! I only want fame and fortune, to stand in the spotlight and be admired by thousands!”

Han Yaokun said, “But we researchers, the more capable the researcher, the more we should be low-key, otherwise we will be in danger!

Even Ji An, he cannot publicly admit that he is the developer of the nutrition fluids and treatment cabins!”

Zhao Zhen was expressionless, “I don’t like scientific research at all. As long as I can stand in the spotlight, I don’t care about anything else!”

Han Yaokun seemed to finally see Zhao Zhen clearly. His whole person became dejected. “You like the spotlight, you like to be watched by everyone, you could have told me. I could have helped you get what you wanted.

But you cannot betray the country. That is my bottom line, the bottom line of all of us Xia people!

Zhao Zhen, I cannot forgive you for betraying the country!”

Zhao Zhen suddenly became agitated and shouted, “I didn’t betray the country, I didn’t!”

Zhao Zhen pointed at Ji An, “What is he? How can he be compared with the country! The only person I betrayed was him! I haven’t betrayed a single bit of national information from beginning to end!

I just let those human traffickers target Ji An, capture him and take him to the perverts in R Nation and M Nation to perform freak shows and become their slaves!

Isn’t this what Ji An likes! Doesn’t he just like being poked in the butt?

I am helping him fulfill his wish, he should be grateful to me!”

Gu Jinsheng sent out an ability, hitting Zhao Zhen directly and sending him flying, crashing heavily against the wall, his head bleeding. Zhao Zhen struggled, clutching his chest, and spat out a clot of blood.

“Zhao Zhen, how long will you be so stubborn?” Han Yaokun knew before that Zhao Zhen was jealous of Ji An, but he never expected that Zhao Zhen’s jealousy towards Ji An had reached such a pathological, obsessive, andcrazy degree.

“It doesn’t matter if outsiders don’t know, but who among us insiders doesn’t know that technologies like spatial storage items, nutrition fluids that can save the lives of billions of people worldwide, and treatment cabins that save countless people’s limbs and minds were all developed by Ji An? How can such a talent not represent the country? He can save the common people, open up a new century, he is the hope of all humanity!

Such a hero, you betrayed his information to foreign countries, and you still say you didn’t betray the country!

You are a complete traitor, a traitor who tried to drag Xia Country into decline!”

“I’m not, Ji An cannot represent the country!”

“He can! The current Xia Country cannot do without him, the development of Jing Shi Base cannot do without him! The future of all humanity cannot do without him!” Han Yaokun said, “Destroying Ji An is destroying Xia Country, destroying Jing Shi Base, destroying all humanity! You are not only a sinner of Jing Shi Base, you are also a sinner of Xia Country, a sinner of all humanity!”

“I’m not, I just purely hate Ji An.” Zhao Zhen shook his head desperately, as if doing so could deny the heavy sin weighing on him.

Looking at Zhao Zhen who was still stubborn at this point, Han Yaokun suddenly didn’t want to say another word. He turned around and walked step by step towards the outside of the cell. His back was lonely and aged, as if his spirit had been instantly drained, making him age by more than ten years.

Zhao Zhen saw Han Yaokun really leaving just like that, seemingly no longer caring about him, and panicked.

“Teacher, Teacher, you can’t leave me alone! It was you who brought me into Jing Shi Base, it was you who showed me the worldly prosperity. It is your responsibility that I have fallen into such a situation today, you cannot just leave me alone!”

Han Yaokun stopped his steps, but he didn’t turn around. Zhao Zhen didn’t see his face full of tears. “Zhao Zhen, you… take care of yourself!”

“Teacher, Teacher, you can’t go, you can’t leave me alone…”

Han Yaokun lifted his foot again, and this time, no matter how Zhao Zhen shouted, he did not stop again.

Zhao Zhen fell to the ground like a lost soul. Suddenly, he became agitated, staring fiercely at Ji An, “It’s all you, it’s all because of you! Why does everyone protect you? I just looked down on you and couldn’t get rid of you, so I wanted to use someone else’s hands to mess with you. How did that become betraying the country!

How can you be compared with the country!”

Ji An looked coldly at Zhao Zhen, who was like a bedbug. “Just based on the technology in my hands, they can save the lives of billions of people worldwide! That is Xia Country’s top secret!

When you targeted me, did you ever think about the people of Xia Country?

It doesn’t matter if I fall into the hands of R Nation and M Nation people, but what about the technology in my hands? Once those two countries get hold of those technologies from me, with their nature, they will inevitably stir up countless bloody storms!

Have you thought about what will happen to the people of Xia Country then? What kind of situation will your selfishness put them in?”

Zhao Zhen was speechless. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he said excitedly, “Then you should die! For the sake of the country, you should protect those technologies with your life, you should end your life immediately!”

Ji An said, “If one day I fall into such a situation, I will. But for your jealousy, I won’t, you are not worthy!”

These words made Zhao Zhen’s pupils shrink violently. Being genuinely despised by the person he deeply envied, Zhao Zhen felt at this moment that every breath of air he inhaled was laced with poison, corroding him.

Ji An continued, “I don’t understand, what do you have to be jealous of me? Researcher Han was so good to you, trusting you unconditionally, and he was willing to help you get everything you wanted.

Even when Gu Jinsheng told him personally that you had betrayed the country, he didn’t believe it and insisted on seeing you with his own eyes and hearing your explanation with his own ears.”

Gu Jinsheng stepped forward and stood silently beside Ji An, slightly displeased, “You don’t need to envy him. I can do better. My life, if you want it, I can give it to you!”

Ji An’s face turned red. He glared at Gu Jinsheng. Was this the place to say such things?

Zhao Zhen could no longer hear what Ji An and Gu Jinsheng were saying at this moment.

He sat on the ground, holding his head, shaking it, his expression pained, “But what he gave me was never what I wanted. I only wanted glory, to be the center of attention!”

Ji An and Gu Jinsheng saw that Zhao Zhen was still unreasonable at this point and stopped wasting words with him, leaving the area.

After several months, Filemon and other healing-type power users could finally board the return flight. When they came, these power users were arrogant, like aristocrats experiencing life in a wilderness. When they returned, they were all pale-faced, grief-stricken, and looked incredulous, like bumpkins shocked after entering the city.

Jing Shi Base was a trustworthy base. It said it would send Filemon and others back safely, and it really did send Filemon and others back completely.

Filemon and others finally set foot on the land of M Nation, and the breath that had been held in their hearts was released.

Filemon looked at the empty airport and asked a staff member, “Where are the reception personnel from HSD Base?”

The staff member said awkwardly, “I have already notified HSD Base. They should have departed. Why don’t you wait in the lounge?”

Everyone looked at Filemon. She was the leader of these people. Filemon’s face was ugly. She said to the staff member, “Thank you.”

“Captain, when we boarded the plane, the people from Jing Shi Base called Commander Charles in front of us. How long has it been? We’ve arrived, why haven’t the people from the base arrived?”

Filemon was also uncomfortable inside but had to comfort her team members, “The base must have been delayed by some urgent matter!”

The team members were still unhappy, “But we went to Jing Shi Base for the sake of the base. For the base, all of our abilities were crippled. Even if there was something going on at the base, they shouldn’t…”

“Stop talking!” Filemon angrily shouted, “All of us volunteered back then. We are all for our beliefs, for our country, for our people!”

Although Filemon said this, there was a faint uneasiness in her heart. Thinking of Charles’s character, Filemon suddenly closed her eyes, not daring to continue thinking.

Filemon and others waited from dawn until dark. They waited until their stomachs rumbled, and everyone was full of resentment. Finally, these heroes who ‘went to war for the country’ waited for the car from HSD Base to pick them up.

“Why did you take so long? When we left Jing Shi Base, didn’t they notify the base…” A team member had waited too long and finally saw the people picking them up, so she couldn’t help but complain.

However, instead of treating them like heroes as they had expected, treating them with courtesy, the other party pointed their guns at their heads and roughly shoved them into the car. “Shut up, get in all of you!”

“Ah!” A team member was hurt by the other party’s roughness and let out a scream. The reception personnel immediately gave her a buttstock, hitting her head until it bled and she fainted in the back seat. “Shut up, get in the car quietly.”

The team members were scared and trembling. Filemon’s face was pale. “You can’t treat us like this. Our expedition this time was all for the base, for M Nation. We are the heroes of M Nation!”

The other party looked at Filemon with contempt, without the slightest respect for heroes. “You know how you came back. Betraying the country’s secrets, you don’t deserve the title of heroes!”

“We didn’t, don’t slander us!” Filemon was furious.

“Save your explanations for the commander-in-chief, it’s useless to tell us!”

As Filemon was pushed into the car, she saw a Xia Country woman on the next car also being roughly shoved into the vehicle. The woman kept shouting, “Who are you? Where is this? Do you know who I am? I am the younger sister of Ji An, the partner of Commander Gu Jinsheng of Jing Shi Base. You kidnapped me, aren’t you afraid that Jing Shi Base will cut off your nutrition fluids?”

The woman was too noisy, and her mouth was quickly gagged.

Filemon had been at Jing Shi Base for several months. Even without contact with the outside world, she knew who the commander-in-chief of Jing Shi Base was, and even had some knowledge of Ji An. But she remembered Ji An seemed to be an orphan. When did he have a younger sister?
