Chapter 182: Fish on the Hook?

Why were the five old men so furious, and why were they cursing the Eagle Nation?

The reason for this is very simple.

After examining the core scientific research projects of Area 52, they discovered that these so-called "core" projects were things they had come into contact with a very, very long time ago.

Furthermore, the problems within these core projects were all ones they had personally solved.

There were many points among them that all five men remembered clearly.

Besides that, they remembered even more clearly what the person in charge at the Eagle Nation had said to them when they received these projects.

"Huaxia people, this is a small test for you. If you can't even solve such simple problems, then you are truly stupid!"

"Don't call yourselves people anymore, change it to pigs; this name suits you too well!"

Such words were undoubtedly trampling the dignity of the Huaxia people into the dirt.

Consequently, the five men began to work hard on their respective projects.

But those projects were truly too difficult, and there were countless times they wanted to give up, yet whenever they thought of what that person in charge had said, they would grit their teeth and persevere.

In the end, they broke through the difficulties!

Things like this happened not just once in these 40 years, but countless times!

Only today, after looking at the data, did they understand.

That goddamn Eagle Nation had actually been making them, the experts, solve the most difficult problems of those core scientific research projects!

No wonder it was so difficult! Difficult to the point of making one want to give up on life!

So that was the truth of the matter!

The more they thought about it, the more they felt the Eagle Nation deserved to die! Deserved it so much! Dying 10,000 times wouldn't be enough!

It's just that the Eagle Nation has long since been wiped out, so saying anything is useless now.

Just as the five men were angry, their door was knocked upon.

"The five of you, the Chief Engineer asked me to notify you that it is time to go back!"

Upon hearing this, the anger on the faces of the five men vanished instantly, and they immediately began to busy themselves with preparations before returning to the country.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang was chatting with the Political Commissar who had just arrived.

The content of the chat was nothing unusual, merely revolving around the Eagle Nation.

Soon, the chat ended, and the two saluted each other.

Ye Cang then stood up and left.

Several hours later, Ye Cang returned to the country.

When the five old professors stood on the soil of Huaxia, they couldn't help but have hot tears well up in their eyes.

It had been 40 years; they never expected that they would actually have the chance to return to Huaxia.

They had originally thought they would spend their whole lives in the Eagle Nation.

But the world is unpredictable!

Watching the five old men crying uncontrollably, Ye Cang said nothing, only having people arrange for them and then perform the necessary identity checks.

He then left that place and headed straight for the elder's side.

Back when he wiped out the Eagle Nation, he had specifically let all those behind-the-scenes masterminds go.

Counting the time, quite a while had passed.

He believed those masterminds had already fled to other countries and begun to prepare conspiracies targeting Huaxia.

Lucian had said that those guys could sway an entire country.

He had deliberately let them go, using them as fishhooks to catch all the countries in one net.

Now the time was about right; the fish had taken the bait.

While lost in thought, Ye Cang had already arrived at the door of the elder's office.

He reached out and knocked on the door lightly.

Subsequently, the elder's voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

After hearing this, Ye Cang replied: "It's me, Ye Cang."

"I've returned, and I have something important I want to see you about."

As his voice fell, the office door opened.

The elder's figure appeared before Ye Cang.

"Come, come in." Saying this, the elder pulled Ye Cang into the office.

Ye Cang sat on the sofa, and the elder actually took the initiative to pick up the teapot to pour tea for Ye Cang.

Ye Cang, quick-eyed and nimble-handed, hurriedly stopped the elder.

"I'll do it myself."

Saying this, he took the teapot from the elder's hand, first poured a cup of tea for the elder, and then it was his turn.

The elder drank the tea and asked with a smile: "Little Cang, you said you had something important; what important thing is it?"

"Could it be that you, kid, are preparing to fulfill your promise from back then?"

Hearing the elder mention a promise from back then, Ye Cang couldn't help but scratch his hair.

A promise from back then?

What promise had he made back then?

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Cang could say with absolute certainty that he hadn't made any such promise.

Thinking of this, Ye Cang said: "What promise? That's not important; the important thing is something else."

"Please tell me quickly, since I completely wiped out the Eagle Nation, how many countries have jumped out to accuse Huaxia, and how many countries want to be enemies with Huaxia."

Watching the somewhat anxious look on Ye Cang, the old man could not help but sigh softly.

He finally understood that when this kid spoke of "sealing the wolf at Juxu" back then, he was just brushing him off.

However, brushing him off was one thing, but he could not delay serious business.

Subsequently, the old man immediately handed over all the information Ye Cang needed to him.

Yet, after looking through the information, Ye Cang frowned slightly.

Because those countries had all shut their mouths in unison; not a single country dared to say another word, and this result was clearly not right.

Watching Ye Cang's current expression, the old man naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Little Cang, haste makes waste."

"I understand what you want to do, but think about how long it has been since you wiped out the Eagle Sauce?"

"You must understand that the birth of a conspiracy requires sufficient time; if there isn't enough time, it's not called a conspiracy, but a method."

The old man's words made Ye Cang sober up a bit.

"So what I need to do now is patiently wait for a conspiracy to be born?" Ye Cang asked.

"That's right." The old man nodded.

"Just wait; those guys have already been scared by you, and they won't dare to show their heads for a while."

"They are terrified of being targeted by Huaxia and becoming the second Eagle Sauce."

"Right now, they are more low-key than anyone else; don't think about being able to catch their loopholes."

The old man's words brought Ye Cang back to his senses.

That's right!

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed just as the old man said.

But why hadn't he thought of such a simple principle?

It seems there is still a lot for him to learn!

But then again, could Kaisha think of this principle?

Hmm... Kaisha probably wouldn't think of it; after all, she believes in taking action whenever possible.

After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Cang returned to normal.

And the old man, watching the silent Ye Cang, said with a smile: "Why have you suddenly stopped talking?"

"Are you discouraged?"

"Not discouraged." Ye Cang answered truthfully. "I was just thinking that what we need to do next isn't just waiting quietly."

"If we just keep waiting quietly, it will likely be useless; we must use some methods!"

"Correct." The old man took over the conversation. "So next, you need to think about what methods we should use."

"Given that this topic is a bit difficult, I, this old man, will give you a small hint."

"As for what should be done next, our ancestors already told you long ago."
