Chapter 104 Cleaning
Chapter 104 Cleaning
Time seemed to stand still forever. The entire conference room was shrouded in an invisible pressure, and the air seemed to become heavy, creating a suffocating tension.
The tense atmosphere, like a thick dark cloud, quietly spread and filled every corner.
It was quiet, unusually quiet, so quiet that even the crisp sound of a delicate embroidery needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard.
In the midst of this deathly silence, Director Zhong, who was the focus of everyone's attention, keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere.
He slowly put down the teacup he was holding, his movements gentle yet carrying an indescribable composure.
Immediately afterwards, Director Zhong stood up abruptly, and at the same time, his gaze quickly swept over the man and Minister Ma.
His eyes were incredibly sharp, as if they could see through all the secrets hidden beneath the surface.
Then, Director Zhong clapped his hands lightly. The applause was not loud, but it was very penetrating and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room.
Once everyone's attention was focused on him, Director Zhong took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I know you are all anxious right now, but please calm down!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I solemnly promised you all that once the cleanup operation officially began, I would restore your freedom."
Therefore, there's no need to let the situation become so tense and make everyone unhappy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Mingzhe suddenly stopped talking, turned around, stared directly at Minister Ma, and said in a calm but sharp tone, "Minister Ma, you seem so anxious, is there something important that needs to be dealt with?"
“If it’s really urgent, I can contact General Lin Ye of the military to help you resolve it.” After saying that, Director Zhong’s eyes were like two beams of cold lightning, firmly fixed on Minister Ma and the man who had spoken earlier, never looking away for a moment.
When Minister Ma saw that Director Zhong was watching him, he could only sit down and slowly say, "I don't have anything urgent to bother Elder Lin, so there's no need to trouble Director Zhong."
.......................
Upon hearing this, Director Zhong did not respond immediately. He simply nodded slightly to indicate that he understood the situation, and then turned his gaze back to the other people beside him.
He began to patiently explain the relevant matters, his tone calm and clear, each word as if carefully considered.
A short while later, a Leo cavalryman suddenly approached Director Zhong cautiously with light steps.
The cavalryman first cautiously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before slowly bending down and whispering something in Director Zhong's ear.
Director Zhong listened quietly to the cavalryman's report. Although his expression remained as calm as ever, his eyes involuntarily glanced lightly in the direction of Minister Ma and the man.
Although the action was very subtle and quick, it was still difficult to completely conceal the slight turmoil deep within his heart.
Immediately afterward, Director Zhong pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and gave a word of instruction to the cavalryman Leo beside him.
The Leo cavalryman nodded repeatedly to indicate that he understood, then straightened up, turned around, and quickly left, returning to his original ranks.
Not long after, Director Zhong suddenly revealed a faint smile, then turned to the people in the conference room and said loudly, "Colleagues, I have just received the news that the operation has officially begun."
"Now everyone can leave."
Upon hearing Director Zhong's words, the people sitting below all stood up.
They clearly didn't want to linger here, and even less did they want to get into any more trouble with Director Zhong.
After briefly confirming that everything was in order, the group quickly formed small groups and headed towards the conference room door.
The whole scene seemed somewhat rushed, yet orderly.
....................
A moment later, only Minister Ma and the man remained in the large conference room.
The two walked side by side, slowly heading towards the door.
Just as he was about to step out of the conference room, Director Zhong seemed to suddenly remember something.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead hard, a look of sudden realization on his face. Then he hurriedly shouted to Minister Ma and the other man, "Oh dear, look at my memory! General Lin just contacted me."
"They specifically instructed that Minister Ma and you two stay behind, saying they wanted to have a video conference with you to discuss some matters."
Minister Ma and the man beside him exchanged glances upon hearing this. Although they had some doubts, they thought that Director Zhong would not spread General Lin Ye's words carelessly.
He had no choice but to stop and turn back to his original spot in the conference room, where he sat down comfortably.
However, not long after Director Zhong hurriedly left the conference room, a series of rapid footsteps approached from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a burly man with a cold expression strode into the conference room.
Behind him followed several fully armed Leo cavalrymen, each of them tall and imposing, wielding laser swords and exuding a chilling aura of menace.
Without saying a word, the man in the lead led the Leo cavalry behind him into the conference room and quickly closed the door tightly.
Minister Ma and his companions were startled by the sight and realized that things seemed to be going badly.
They immediately stood up, their eyes wide with anger, and demanded in unison, "Who exactly are you people?"
"Go and call Zhong Guanghua out here. I want to ask him what exactly happened!"
However, when confronted with questions from Minister Ma and his companion, the man opposite them acted as if he hadn't heard them and continued to do as he pleased.
He lowered his head slightly, expressionless, and extended his right hand, skillfully catching a mechanical creature that looked like a green locust that jumped out from the side.
This green locust shimmers with a mysterious light, exuding a futuristic feel.
Then, without hesitation, the man gently inserted the green locust in his hand into the specially made belt around his waist, and whispered:
HENSHIN! [Transformation!]
CHANGEKICK HOPOER [The Locusts Arrive]
In an instant, Qin Xiao transformed into Kamen Rider Hopper, stood in place, pointed at Minister Ma and the other man, and said, "How long are you two Worms going to keep up this act? I don't have time to play with you!"
