Chapter 231: Let's Talk About It Later

Led by Sun Wukong, the two arrived at the entrance of a small tavern.

Standing at the entrance, Sun Wukong wore an awkward smile.

"Ye... Ye... Chief Engineer Ye, I come to this tavern often; the taste is quite good. Let's eat while we talk."

After saying this, Sun Wukong pulled Ye Cang into the tavern.

Finding a private room, the two took their seats, and Sun Wukong ordered several dishes with practiced ease without even looking at the menu.

It was clear that he really did come here often.

While waiting for the food to be served, Sun Wukong pulled Ye Cang into some awkward small talk.

"Chief Engineer Ye... um, have you been busy lately? And how is that grand unification going?"

"Also, that Little Devil..."

Ye Cang really couldn't engage with this kind of awkward small talk.

He made a pause gesture, interrupting Sun Wukong's words.

"Sun Wukong, if you have something to say, just say it directly," Ye Cang said.

"There's no need to keep up this awkward small talk here; if you can stand it, I can't."

"Ok?"

Seeing Ye Cang be so direct, Sun Wukong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To tell the truth, he had been forcing himself to make awkward small talk.

Actually, he didn't want to make awkward small talk either, but!

It's not very good to be too direct when asking for someone's help, so he had to talk about something else to some extent.

There was no help for it; this was the "rules."

Fortunately, Ye Cang took the initiative to end this awkward small talk!

Clearing his throat with a light cough, Sun Wukong went straight to the point.

"Kid Ye Cang... no, that's not right, Chief Engineer Ye."

"I want to ask you, what is your level of attainment regarding genetics?"

"I have some questions about genes that I would like to ask you."

Genes?

Why would Sun Wukong ask this?

Genes, huh...

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ye Cang suddenly realized.

A while ago, Liu Chuang had almost died because his genes were tampered with, and from this, it could be inferred that the others in the Super Seminary should have this problem too.

At the time, Liu Chuang had even begged him to help the Super Seminary, but he had refused.

It looked like Sun Wukong had also discovered the gene problem in the Super Seminary, he just didn't know if they had been tampered with or not.

After thinking this through, Ye Cang said calmly: "Regarding genetics, I know a little bit; I can still solve ordinary problems if I encounter them."

"So, you can state your problem, but I can't guarantee I can solve it."

Hearing Ye Cang say he only knew a little bit about genetics, a look of disappointment appeared on Sun Wukong's face.

He had wanted to just say goodbye and leave, but then he had a second thought.

Since he was already here, he might as well talk about it!

What if Ye Cang was just being modest? Wouldn't he miss out if he just left?

After a brief moment of thought, Sun Wukong made up his mind.

"Chief Engineer Ye, since you know a little bit, then I will state my problem directly."

"I have discovered that some of the people in the Super Seminary, besides Qi Lin and Cheng Yaowen, all have that kind of excessive mercy. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I have reason to suspect that there is a problem with their genes."

"So, I want to ask you to help and see if you can solve it."

Ye Cang nodded but did not speak.

However, he began to think in his heart; things were exactly as he had guessed.

But he had said before that the Super Seminary members were very likely the type who would drool even after being cured, so there was really no need to bother.

Thus, Ye Cang spoke: "Sun Wukong, you only suspect that there is a problem with their genes, you cannot be certain."

"Therefore, I cannot help."

"Besides, I killed Ge Xiaolun; if I go to help now, do you think the Super Seminary will trust me?"

These two short sentences left Sun Wukong speechless.

Yes, the facts were indeed like this; what he had been thinking was truly too idealistic.

But, he couldn't possibly go to Lianfeng to solve this matter either.

Lianfeng was an Engineer from Dexing... Galaxy Power and the Nuo Star God of War were both created by her hands.

The more Sun Wukong thought about it, the more his head ached, and he couldn't help but scratch his monkey head.

After a full while, Sun Wukong finally regained his calm.

"Kid Ye Cang, listen to me!" the calmed-down Sun Wukong said.

"Although I am only suspecting, there is a 70 percent chance I can be certain that their genes definitely have a problem!"

"Old Sun belongs to the combat personnel and knows nothing about science; if it weren't for Qi Lin telling me you could help, I really wouldn't know who to look for!"

"Kid Ye Cang!"

But after Ye Cang finished listening to these words, he did not speak, just sitting there expressionless.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong became even more anxious.

"Ye Cang, you child! Although our stances differ, we both do this for Huaxia; just consider it helping Huaxia!"

This time, Ye Cang finally reacted, but he only took a sip of water.

Ye Cang had long since become immune to Sun Wukong's tactics.

Using the greater good to pressure others.

A trick Du Kaao had long since worn out.

But Sun Wukong had already lowered his posture significantly; if he were to continue being aggressive, it might lead to trouble.

Thus, Ye Cang gave an ambiguous answer.

"Sun Wukong, whether it is for Huaxia or for the Super Soldier Company."

"You should first resolve the fact that they are currently hostile toward me; otherwise, even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."

After speaking, Ye Cang stood up and left the private room without hesitation, leaving Sun Wukong sitting there alone.

Looking at the doorway of the private room, Sun Wukong let out a long sigh.

Yes, Ye Cang was right.

He did need to resolve the issue of the Super Soldier Company being hostile toward him first.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong took a wallet from his bosom, pulled out a few red banknotes, placed them on the table, and then left as well.

After leaving the tavern, Ye Cang did not want to waste time, so he transformed directly into a Quantum State and arrived at the construction site of the Stellar-class Warship to begin solving the problems.

Sun Wukong, meanwhile, returned to the Underground Base of the Super Soldier Company.

Sitting in his room, Sun Wukong began to think about how to make the members of the Super Soldier Company stop being hostile toward Ye Cang.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Wukong still did not come up with a good solution.

In the end, Sun Wukong decided to just say whatever came to mind and be straightforward about it.

Of course, he had to stay far away from Lianfeng when being straightforward, otherwise, he feared something unexpected might happen.

Having made his decision, Sun Wukong did not hesitate in the slightest and directly notified everyone in the Super Soldier Company to come to the conference room for a meeting.

A moment later, everyone gathered in the conference room.

Sun Wukong sat in the main seat and looked at the members of the Super Soldier Company.

As a result, he discovered that Ge Xiaolun was actually absent!

This made Sun Wukong frown.

When he notified them just now, he had clearly stated that this meeting was very important and no one could be absent.

Yet Ge Xiaolun had missed it regardless.

"Why hasn't Ge Xiaolun come?" Sun Wukong asked.

Rui Mengmeng, who was sitting to the side, hurriedly stood up and said, "Hou Ge, it's like this: Ge Xiaolun has been having headaches lately, and they are quite severe."

"So he asked for leave."
