Regarding how to deal with the Truth Society, Su Yuan had asked the gray mirror many related questions.
For example, he tried telling the Truth Society the truth about the alien forces—
that after the alien forces descended, all life on Blue Star would face mass slaughter, and even the Truth Society couldn't escape.
After all, from Su Yuan's perspective over ten days ago, no matter how insane the Truth Society might be, they were still Blue Star people. Facing alien forces, they should stand with Blue Star.
But the answer the gray mirror gave was... the founder of the Truth Society simply didn't believe it.
In the founder's view, after the alien forces descended, a spokesperson like him would completely beco the ruler of Blue Star, enjoying immortality and eternal wealth under the alien forces' support...
Not only did he not believe it, he even ordered the Truth Society to hunt down Su Yuan. When the pursuit failed, he reported the matter to the alien forces.
This resulted in greater accidents and variables, causing the alien forces' interstellar colonization ship to descend upon Blue Star two years earlier.
......
"With this matter settled, it's ti to go check on 'Qiao Mingyuan'..."
Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly.
According to the normal developnt outco, Qiao Mingyuan would escape to Xia Country, eventually be rescued by Xia Country's Defense Bureau, and subsequently work secretly for Xia Country.
But once Su Yuan chose to intervene, this future would naturally be erased, leaving only the future Su Yuan wanted—
to quietly take Qiao Mingyuan away.
......
Hill Hotel.
Qiao Mingyuan slept very deeply.
Since the Truth Society began hunting him, he hadn't had a single hour of good sleep. Every ti he slept a bit deeply, he would dream that assassins had co and wake up startled.
It was in this state that Qiao Mingyuan fled to Xia Country.
Actually, if this condition continued for a few more days or weeks, the assassins wouldn't even need to act—Qiao Mingyuan would likely have an emotional breakdown first.
After all, human stress tolerance has limits. Once those limits are exceeded, extrely serious negative effects will occur.
He didn't know how much ti had passed.
Qiao Mingyuan slowly woke from his sleep.
"How long have I been sleeping?"
Qiao Mingyuan glanced at the ti in the room, "Four hours?"
"It's not a dream, I really escaped alive."
Qiao Mingyuan took a deep breath. At this mont, he wasn't just living for himself, but also for his wife Anna.
Only by staying alive could he investigate what exactly happened to Anna and how to rescue her.
If he died, everything would be over. This was the greatest motivation that had sustained Qiao Mingyuan throughout his escape.
Just then.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
"Is that person calling ?"
Qiao Mingyuan imdiately realized—the phone was the one he picked up in the Nanhai Station restroom, which he had carried with him as a ans to contact Su Yuan.
"He called right after I woke up. Is there surveillance in this room?"
Qiao Mingyuan guessed to himself while imdiately picking up the phone to answer.
Just as Su Yuan had told him, Qiao Mingyuan wouldn't run away.
Now in Xia Country, unfamiliar with both the people and place, where could he possibly escape to?
"Beep—" The call connected.
Qiao Mingyuan imdiately heard the familiar voice.
"How was your sleep?" Su Yuan asked.
Qiao Mingyuan thought there was surveillance in the room...
Actually, Su Yuan already knew the exact ti Qiao Mingyuan would wake up, which was why he called at this mont.
"I slept very well." Qiao Mingyuan answered truthfully, though he seed to have sothing else he wanted to say.
"I know what you want to ask." Su Yuan smiled and said, "It was the Truth Society who took your wife Anna."
"The Truth Society? Why does that sound so familiar..."
Qiao Mingyuan was stunned. He felt like he had heard this na sowhere before.
Compared to Xia Country's regulated internet environnt, foreign countries were indeed much freer, with many secretive pieces of information being published.
"Your teacher once told you about the Truth Society." Su Yuan reminded him.
"Yes, my teacher did tell ..." Qiao Mingyuan suddenly understood.
But then he faintly sensed sothing wrong—how did Su Yuan know about this?
"Your teacher is a peripheral mber of the Truth Society. Your teacher contributed greatly to your escape this ti." Su Yuan said.
This was indeed true. Qiao Mingyuan's teacher played a crucial role in his escape from the country across the ocean.
Qiao Mingyuan's teacher was an internationally renowned technical expert, also soone the Truth Society wanted to recruit.
The Truth Society's mbers weren't just wealthy individuals, but also top talents from various industries.
As a peripheral mber of the Truth Society, Qiao Mingyuan's teacher naturally knew that Xia Country was a blind spot for the Truth Society's influence, which was why he told Qiao Mingyuan to flee to Xia Country.
Under the Truth Society's pursuit, only by escaping to Xia Country was there a sliver of hope for survival.
"Teacher..." Qiao Mingyuan imdiately fell silent.
"Will my teacher face any repercussions?" Qiao Mingyuan couldn't help but ask.
"There will be repercussions, but no life-threatening danger." Su Yuan said.
This was also the result obtained by consulting the gray mirror.
......
Although unclear how Su Yuan knew about his teacher's situation, Qiao Mingyuan felt an inexplicable sense of conviction at this mont.
Collecting himself, Qiao Mingyuan continued asking, "Why did the Truth Society take my wife?"
"Because your wife ets the Truth Society's experintal material requirents."
Su Yuan didn't directly ntion artificial humans—this kind of technology would be difficult for Blue Star people to imdiately understand and accept—so he used experintal materials instead.
"Experintal materials?" Qiao Mingyuan's face turned pale.
He naturally knew what experintal materials ant—they were consumables, like lab mice, with countless dying in laboratories every day.
"Using living people as experintal materials—won't the country do anything about it?"
Qiao Mingyuan said angrily.
The country across the ocean had laws prohibiting human participation in experints.
"The country?" Su Yuan laughed mockingly, "How do you know this isn't the country's intention?"
The country across the ocean had long been thoroughly infiltrated by the Truth Society. Whoever beca president had to obey the Truth Society.
"This..."
Qiao Mingyuan's heart trembled.
He also realized what Su Yuan's words implied. If the Truth Society was really such a behemoth, then his wife Anna's fate was unimaginable.
"I can save your wife."
Su Yuan paused for six breaths, waiting until Qiao Mingyuan was about to fall into complete despair before speaking again.
"You can save her?" Qiao Mingyuan seed to have grabbed a lifeline, imdiately becoming excited.
"Yes." Su Yuan nodded, "But we'll need to wait three to four years."
Qiao Mingyuan's wife Anna t the Grade 1 artificial human manufacturing standards.
However, the Truth Society's manufacturing of artificial humans required substantial ti. Even for just Grade 1 artificial humans, it took five to ten years.
According to Su Yuan's plan, there was completely enough ti to rescue her.
"As long as you can save Anna, I'd even be willing to die for you."
Qiao Mingyuan imdiately declared, speaking seriously.
Hearing this from far away in Magic City, Su Yuan's face showed a smile.
Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that Qiao Mingyuan highly valued promises—whatever he said he would do, no matter how difficult, he would accomplish.
Using the rescue of his wife Anna as a condition was the thod the gray mirror provided to completely win over Qiao Mingyuan.
Of course, to completely win over Qiao Mingyuan, simply telling him that Anna could be rescued wasn't enough.
He also needed to make the other party believe these words.
In this regard, Su Yuan had been laying the groundwork since first contacting Qiao Mingyuan.
Now Qiao Mingyuan deeply believed in Su Yuan without doubt.
......
Qiao Mingyuan was related to many of Su Yuan's future plans.
Establishing a wireless information network covering Blue Star, stable and free from interference, was the foundation of Su Yuan's nurous plans. This aspect required Qiao Mingyuan to specifically implent and execute.
It wasn't that Qiao Mingyuan was absolutely indispensable, but rather that he was the most suitable and easiest to control.
......
Ti passed.
In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.
