When Chu Yao woke up, he was lying in his room.

She stretched out on the bed, then turned on her phone and found that she had slept all day and night.

Then she saw the eye-catching 99+ on the Fetion icon.

Chu Yao opened Fetion and saw that most of them were messages sent to her by Gong Xiaoran:

"Are you awake?" "Are you awake?" "Are you awake?"

One message every ten minutes, the frequency and quantity are breathtaking.

What's the big deal?

Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, then typed the words "Wake up" in the message box and sent it.

In less than a minute, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and Gong Xiaoran broke in.

"What's wrong, Xiaoran..." Chu Yao was startled when he saw Gong Xiaoran's solemn expression.

What happened in the company? Princess Ye was screwed?

Then Gong Xiaoran cleared her throat, pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed.

"Did you go to the 'Zhixin Second Factory' in Xindu yesterday?" Gong Xiaoran looked like he was interrogating.

"What is Zhixin Second Factory?" Chu Yao blinked innocently.

"Don't pretend to be stupid! It's over at the southeast corner of Xindu. I asked Bing'er where she picked you up."

Chu Yao rubbed her head and found that as her relationship with Xiaoran became closer and closer, Xiaoran became more and more like her senior sister.

No, it's not just like a senior sister, it's like having an extra biological mother...and I'm not at all worried about my crazy daughter who's jumping up and down all the time.

Logically speaking, she should really call Gong Xiaoran sister... Before they came to the world of heaven and earth, both of them were in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and their cultivation levels were not comparable to each other. However, Gong Xiaoran cultivated Taoism earlier than Chu Yao, and she was also older.

She was more than ten years older, and if she hadn't been kidnapped, there would have been nothing wrong with her calling Xiaoran "senior sister" in Feng Yuan.

"Ah, so that factory belongs to Zhixin Company?" Chu Yao nodded, "Well, I went to take a look around."

"What did you go to do?"

"I didn't do much. I killed a madman and burned down a house... Well, it seems like it's nothing, right?"

Chu Yao scratched his head. He seemed to have forgotten something important?

"Did you really burn the villa?" Gong Xiaoran sighed, "Sister, please be more careful."

"Wait a minute, I went there to save people, and I didn't set the fire." Chu Yao sat up, "Did something happen?"

"It's not just something happened, it's a big deal." Gong Xiaoran clicked twice on his phone. "See for yourself."

Chu Yao saw several pieces of news posted on the message board, from various media, such as "Xindu Tabloid", "Lingyuan News" and "Cyberbird Weekly".

"Breaking news! Steel Dome and Zhixin employees had a fight. The truth turned out to be..."

"Not allowed to put out fires? Steel Dome Company's approach has caused controversy, and netizens said it was too arrogant!"

"The postponement of Zhixin Group's new product launch conference may be related to the escalation of the situation."

"The conflict between Zhixin and Steel Dome escalated in an all-round way, and an armed conflict broke out in Liberty City!"

"Yali Company reminds residents to pay attention to personal safety when traveling in recent days!"

"The CEO of Qingshu Company in Lingyuan calls on both parties to stop the dispute"

Chu Yao looked at this series of videos in bewilderment. His brain short-circuited for a few seconds before reconnecting:

"What the hell, are these two big companies fighting?"

"Not only did they start fighting, but they also fought fiercely!" Gong Xiaoran put away his phone. "Although Zhixin is not as big as Steel Dome, it is still an interstellar company. The two sides are now fighting fiercely in Liberty City, blaming each other.

The other party stole his own things."

"Stealing something? What did you steal?" Chu Yao rubbed his face that was a little stiff from sleeping for too long, and his confused eyes looked like a bear cub that had just woken up from hibernation.

"It's not because you burned down other people's houses!" Gong Xiaoran was going crazy, holding Chu Yao's shoulders with both hands and shaking him back and forth. "What did you steal? Return it immediately! None of us can afford to offend these two companies."

ah!"

"Oh, don't shake me! Just wait! I'll wash my face first..."

After washing their faces, the two sat at the table, and Chu Yao finally figured out what happened.

It turns out that Lian Jining, although listed in the Kaners Association, is actually from the Steel Dome Company!

After his villa caught fire, Steel Dome Company quickly sent people there to prevent others from investigating, but the villa was too close to Zhixin's branch factory, and a conflict broke out between the two parties.

Chu Yao touched his chin and tilted his head, thinking. It would be interesting if Lian Jining was really from Steel Dome Company. This shows that his experiments were not personal actions, but were supported by Steel Dome Company!

The people at Steel Dome obviously knew what the consequences would be if Lian Jining's experiment was exposed, so they forcibly sent people to stop it, which triggered the subsequent events.

This shows that at least the upper levels of the Steel Dome, and possibly some of the upper levels, understand the value of Lian Jining’s research, but this is clearly inconsistent with the laws of the Grand Council...

Steel Dome Company has branches in all major galaxies and planets, and even Jining is just a small scientist on the Third Continent. Such research certainly does not only exist on Lingyuan Planet.

Steel Dome Company...is playing a big game.

Chu Yao's unintentional move touched a pawn on the chessboard, allowing her to glimpse a hidden corner of the behemoth Steel Dome.

"...eternal life." Chu Yao said the word softly.

"What?" Her voice was too soft, and Gong Xiaoran couldn't hear her clearly.

Chu Yao didn't talk too much nonsense. He flicked his hand behind his head and piles of papers appeared on the table.

Gong Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then he took out an article and glanced at it a few times, with a shocked expression on his face.

"This is……"

"The mad scientist I just told you about, these are the things in his house."

I just don’t know whether Steel Dome wants these papers or Lian Jining himself as the “experimental subject”.

The two companies have been accusing each other of stealing company secrets, but they have not said what secrets were stolen from their own homes. The Internet is full of speculation.

"There are too many things, and I can't read them all by myself. You'd better ask Qingyu to study them together. You can read them slowly first, and I'll go downstairs to find some drinks."

Chu Yao left the shocked Gong Xiaoran on the spot, changed into loose pajamas and went downstairs.

She wasn't worried about being found. She shouldn't have left any traces, not to mention that even Jining's home was burned to the ground.

Chu Yao didn't want to get involved in the disputes between these big companies. If they wanted to fight, let them fight! As long as the fire did not burn Maowei Company.

What makes Chu Yao feel strange is why Zhixin Company wants to get involved. Could it be that they also have some secret deal with Lian Jining?

She walked to the first floor and saw Su Huohuo having fun with an unknown cylindrical object in circles in the hall.

Wait, I think I know what Zhixin Company lost.
