欧美成人AA久久狼窝五月丁香

As soon as this was said, everyone present understood the implications. After all, the contribution this time was too significant, so significant that even the leader didn’t know what to do for a moment. After a brief silence, the leader said, “Rest assured, everything that needs to be done will be done after the controllable nuclear fusion is confirmed.”

With the leader’s assurance, both Old Master Jiang and Old Master Xiao smiled happily.

Old Master Xiao’s eyes lit up with a flash of insight, and he quickly spoke up, “Leader, what about the plan we proposed earlier? Can we consider moving forward with it?”

“The plan from before? What plan are you talking about? Are you referring to the Phoenix Plan?” Old Master Li looked at Old Master Xiao with disbelief.

This matter dated back to the first half of the year when the Ice City Expo showcased an animated model – the Sky Aircraft, which attracted considerable attention. Later, led by Old Master Xiao, the military proposed the Phoenix Plan, which aimed to establish our own space force. However, it was rejected at the time, with the simple reason being that the technology wasn’t available yet. But now, with the birth of controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Phoenix Plan might no longer be just a dream.

The leader pondered for a moment before saying, “There’s no rush for now. Let’s wait until the experiment succeeds before deciding. There’s no need to rush things. It’s already late now. Let’s go eat first, and we can discuss future development plans after dinner!”

Old Master Li, Old Master Xiao, and the others nodded in agreement, understanding that these matters couldn’t be rushed and needed to be taken step by step. After all, haste makes waste.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao, under Xiao Wang’s guidance, had already left the much-coveted place where many people dreamed to be.

As soon as he came out, Zhou Chao found his phone ringing incessantly, mostly messages from Jiang Li and calls from Lin Wu.

Without hesitation, he called Lin Wu back, as Lin Wu and his group were still waiting for him at the alley mouth.

“Boss!”

“There was a delay in the afternoon. Sorry for keeping you waiting the whole afternoon. Please arrange somewhere for yourselves tonight. I’m already on my way back home.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu understood that his boss had probably gone to some important place in the afternoon. “Got it, boss. Call us anytime if you need anything.”

“Okay!” Zhou Chao hung up after saying this.

Half an hour later, the car with the national flag stopped steadily at the gate of Zhou Chao’s courtyard by the canal. As soon as Zhou Chao got out of the car, the car drove away without stopping at all, and the two of them didn’t exchange a word throughout the journey.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Chao saw a female bodyguard sitting in the courtyard, who stood up as soon as she saw Zhou Chao. “Boss, welcome back!”

“Hmm.” Zhou Chao gave a small nod and headed towards the inner room. He spotted Jiang Li standing by the kitchen door. They seemed to be discussing cooking, with occasional exchanges of conversation between Jiang Li and Aunt Kuang.

“Ahem!” Seeing Jiang Li so engrossed and completely unaware of his return, Zhou Chao could only cough lightly to get her attention.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Li turned around to look at Zhou Chao. “Brother Chao, you’re back. Dinner will be ready soon. Go rest for a while,” she said, then turned back to continue chatting with Aunt Kuang.

Zhou Chao didn’t receive the expected hug or affectionate gestures, but he didn’t dwell on it too much. He shook his head with a smile and walked towards the living room.

“Boss!” As soon as he entered the living room, another female bodyguard emerged from the corner.

“Hmm, take a break outside. No need to be so vigilant at home.”

“Okay, boss!” With that, she turned and walked out to the front yard.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Chao fell into silence, pondering how the situation would unfold and whether he could extricate himself from it. After all, if it were to be exposed, he might be stuck in China for the rest of his life. But soon, he realized he was unnecessarily worrying.

“Why think so much? Trust that the two old masters will handle things well.”

Just as Zhou Chao was muttering to himself, a pair of pristine hands wrapped around his neck from behind. “What are you thinking about? You’ve been sitting here in a daze for quite a while,” Jiang Li’s voice came from behind.

“Nothing, just thinking about company matters,” Zhou Chao replied, turning to see Jiang Li resting her head on his shoulder.

Jiang Li didn’t press further, knowing that Zhou Chao would tell her what he wanted to. “Oh, it’s dinner time. Let’s try Aunt Kuang’s cooking.”

Entering the dining room, they saw seven or eight dishes on the table, all home-cooked dishes but still appetizing to look at.

“Ah Li, why don’t you call those two female bodyguards and Aunt Kuang to join us for dinner? It’ll be livelier with more people,” Zhou Chao suggested.

Jiang Li nodded and quickly went to the courtyard, bringing the two bodyguards back with her.

“Please, have a seat.” Seeing everyone standing, Zhou Chao smiled and gestured for them to relax.

The three of them exchanged glances, and eventually, it was Aunt Kuang who took the lead and sat down first. The other two bodyguards followed suit and also took their seats at the dining table.

Zhou Chao ate quickly, mainly because he hadn’t eaten much for lunch and had been sitting for several hours in the afternoon. His stomach was growling, and he felt tired from dealing with those people.

Soon, Zhou Chao finished two bowls of rice, while Jiang Li and the others hadn’t even finished their first. “Take your time, I’ll go upstairs and take a bath first.”
