Chapter 977

"Bring this brazen, behind-the-scenes mastermind to justice!"

Shi Misi's full, resonant voice echoed throughout the entire office,

Looking at the righteous, indignant Shi Misi before him, Baideng's heart had already cursed the man's eighteen generations of ancestors…

Is this guy insane?!

This Huogaibu Society guy can't actually be a fucking idiot, right?!

Laozi gave you half a month, and you come to bring Laozi to justice?

What kind of international joke is this?!

Is it you who's sick, or is it Laozi who's sick…

At this moment, Baideng's heart was utterly panicked.

The dealings between successive Supreme Commanders and extraterrestrial civilizations were the highest military secrets of Freedom Nation!

Apart from the Supreme Commander of Freedom Nation, no one knew.

All the transaction processes were carried out covertly underground.

If it were truly dug out by this hotheaded Shi Misi, the consequences would simply be unimaginable…

At this thought.

Baideng's heart grew even more tense.

Beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans silently clung to Baideng's forehead.

"Mr. Baideng?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?"

Shi Misi's puzzled voice came over.

At this very moment, Baideng's heart was nearly roaring.

And you still have the nerve to ask?

Isn't it all because of you, you little punk?

Damn it, of all things you could investigate, why the hell are you fixating on this oil?

How does it even concern you?!

In his heart, Baideng once again cursed Shi Misi's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Yet his face still wore an expression as calm as a stagnant well.

"N-no… nothing…"

Baideng wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued.

"The weather's getting hotter and hotter, look at all this sweat…"

"It's as hot as a sauna in this office! It's time to turn on the air conditioning…"

Having said that!

Baideng nimbly grabbed the air-conditioner remote and switched it on.

Seeing that Shi Misi hadn't grown suspicious, Baideng's tense heart finally settled a little.

Now, he had to keep this punk Shi Misi steady!

He absolutely couldn't let this punk investigate the oil matter…

Baideng's brain began to spin at top speed.

After a long while, Baideng's voice finally sounded once more.

"Shi Misi…"

"I'm here!"

Hearing this, Shi Misi thought Baideng was about to order a thorough investigation of the matter.

He immediately straightened his back, standing ramrod straight.

He looked at Baideng with eager anticipation.

"Sigh…"

"I can understand your feelings! After all, who hasn't been young once?"

"But right now, we're in a critical period of competition with Long Guo, and our Freedom Nation has never been a monolithic bloc internally!"

"If we focus our energy here now, what tremendous upheaval will erupt within Freedom Nation? Have you considered that?"

"If Long Guo takes advantage of our internal strife to suddenly strike a treacherous blow, how should we respond?"

Baideng's successive rhetorical questions hammered into Shi Misi's heart like heavy blows.

The next second, a contemplative look also appeared on Shi Misi's face.

Beside him, seeing this, the corner of Baideng's mouth couldn't help but curve into the arc of a successful scheme.

The fish took the bait!

You little punk?

Laozi can't handle those old foxes from Long Guo, but tricking a little Shi Misi like you? Isn't that as easy as reaching into a bag?

Seeing that Shi Misi hadn't answered, Baideng hurriedly pressed his advantage.

"Furthermore…"

"When it comes to energy shortages, relying solely on cutting consumption is definitely a drop in the bucket. Only by expanding the source can we fundamentally solve the problem!"

"Expand the source?"

Flickering lights shone in Shi Misi's eyes.

"Exactly! Expand the source!"

"Relying solely on the oil from our Freedom Nation and those few little brothers—what good is that?"

"The entire Middle East is full of rich oil fields! One scoop down and oil will spurt right out of the ground!"

"Little fellow! Let me teach you a trick!"

"When domestic conflicts grow too big to resolve, we should learn to shift the conflicts outward!"

"You say…"

"Does what I said make sense? Do you understand what I mean now?"

"Mm-hm!"

After being 'enlightened' by Biden like this, Shi Misi's eyes were shining, his gaze brimming with the brilliance of sudden realization.

He nodded his head even harder than if he were pounding garlic…

"I understand what you mean!"

"I'll go arrange it right away…"

Immediately after, Shi Misi turned around, about to go down and make preparations.

But before he had taken a few steps, Shi Misi suddenly stopped again.

All at once.

The heart that Biden had just relaxed instantly rose back up to his throat.

Damn!

This kid couldn't have caught some loophole, could he…

Biden's heart was pounding wildly.

The next second, Shi Misi slowly turned around.

"Right!"

"Mr. Biden! On the Long Guo side, that Song Qi, reportedly in extremely poor physical condition, resolutely and decisively returned to the Northwest Military Region to prepare for work…"

"No…"

"Don't say any more!"

Biden had nearly scared himself into a heart attack just now.

He thought this kid had caught some problem, but who knew this kid was only asking about a Song Qi who was about to die.

He nearly scared Laozi to death…

Biden hurriedly waved his hand and said impatiently.

"What waves can a man about to die still stir up?"

"In the future, any news about this Song Qi — you don't need to tell me about it!"

"You may withdraw now…"

Shi Misi, hearing this, did not dare to defy Biden's wishes, and immediately withdrew from the office, closing the door behind him.
