285 A Video Call Invitation from Chu Qingyan

He rubbed the ring on his finger and muttered to himself.

“General Lu, would you like want me to send someone to follow up on this matter? You know that the rebel organization has been running rampant recently. I’m worried about it…” The middle-aged man sitting across from him immediately leaned forward and whispered.

“No need. There are peak six-star martial artists in the Research Department. Even the rebel army leaders can’t break in so easily.”

Lu Yuansheng smiled and waved his hand, appearing delighted.

The middle-aged man nodded and continued to pour tea for the leader.

On the other side, Wu Mo walked down the stage and returned to his seat.

Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf looked at him in a different light.

“What’s wrong with you two? You don’t recognize me anymore after not seeing me for a few minutes?” Wu Mo asked curiously.

“I’ve always believed that you could easily defeat Gu Hongzhuo, but I never thought that you would be preying on these small fry in White River’s exhibition. I’ve been too naive.” Bald Eagle shook his head and said excitedly.

Lone Wolf immediately gave Wu Mo a thumbs up.

“There aren’t many people whom I admire, but you, Wu Mo, are one of them.”

Even though Lone Wolf was excited, he still did not talk much. Wu Mo was already used to it.

“By the way, your presentation earlier was really cool. I’ve thought of many ways you could have shown it, such as cutting through metal with the laser sword, or going invisible under light, but I didn’t expect you to cut a hunting tank.”

Bald Eagle continued to speak.

“You don’t know this, but when you went on stage to demonstrate the equipment, the few old men sitting behind us all had their eyes wide open. They did not look any calmer than me.”

Hearing this, Wu Mo subconsciously turned his head. As expected, the few elders sitting not far away from him were looking at him with admiration and respect.

When their eyes met, they subconsciously smiled kindly or nodded as if they recognized his strength.

Wu Mo turned his head away in embarra.s.sment. He wanted to tell Bald Eagle to keep a low profile, but he ended not saying anything.

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

It was a good thing that he had muted it before he entered the exhibition hall. Otherwise, he would have attracted a lot of attention.

Wu Mo took out his phone and muttered in his heart, ‘Who would be calling me at this time?’

“Huh?”

Looking at the unknown number on the screen and the video call invitation, Wu Mo frowned.

He had never left his phone number anywhere on the Internet before, so why would a stranger call him? Besides, it was a video call.

He was still in the exhibition hall, so it was a little inconvenient to answer.

On second thought, though, someone could be urgently looking for him.

After a moment’s consideration, Wu Mo chose to accept.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

There was some snow on the screen as if the signal was a little unstable. However, an image soon took form.

There was a dimly lit room in the video, and a person with a strange expression was sitting in front of the camera. Since the exhibition was brightly lit, Wu Mo could not see clearly for a moment.

He placed his hand above the video, and when he saw the person’s face, his pupils shrank instantly!

The person who on his phone’s screen was none other than Chu Qingyan, Professor Tan’s last disciple who had helped the terrorists develop weapons!

Chu Qingyan was sitting in a computer chair in a laboratory. He held his chin with one hand and stared at Wu Mo with interest.

Behind him were all kinds of advanced instruments and a huge research room.

Wu Mo was surprised. He did not expect Chu Qingyan to contact him at this time. On top of that, it was a video call. If he remembered correctly, he and Chu Qingyan never had much interaction. Even in the past, they were just ordinary colleagues.

“Why? Are you surprised to see me?”

Chu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, a teasing smile filling his face.

“Indeed, I’m surprised, surprised that you’re so thick-skinned. You still have the gall to contact the people here after being driven out of the White River province.”

Wu Mo gradually calmed down as he spoke with a cold face.

Since this was an exhibition, he did not say the second half of his words out loud. They were too aggressive.

Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf noticed Wu Mo’s strange expression and understood that the caller had to be Wu Mo’s enemy or something.

In addition, when the two of young men saw each other’s smug look on the screen, they did not have a favorable impression the other.

Chu Qingyan crossed his legs on the screen and arrogantly said, “You don’t need to be too surprised, because later, at the exchange conferences in the Nine Provinces, there will be more surprises.

“Oh, that’s right, you don’t seem to be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the exchange conference. I forgot about that, haha. Aren’t you very powerful? Yet, you can’t partic.i.p.ate in the conference? Don’t let me down,” Chu Qingyan said sarcastically over the phone, displaying the arrogance of a villain.

Wu Mo’s eyes drooped slightly. His face was still as calm as an ancient well, but his eyes had become colder.

“Whether I can partic.i.p.ate or not is none of your business. Since you’ve chosen the Red Heart province, just do your own thing.”

Wu Mo snorted with disdain. If the current situation allowed it, he would have wanted to “greet” Chu Qingyan.

“A wise man submits to his circ.u.mstances. Red Heart has the best development in the field of technology and forging in the Nine Provinces. Some want to come but don’t even qualify.

“By the way, you’ve remained in the Fifth Research Department for a long time ever since I left. Have you developed any valuable equipment? Has the invisibility cloak been ma.s.s-produced?”

Chu Qingyan did not pay attention to Wu Mo’s words, but he spoke in a provocative tone with a sneer on his face.

After hearing Chu Qingyan’s harsh words, Wu Mo felt so angry that he almost laughed.

Chu Qingyan had merely used the blueprint given by terrorists to develop an uninspired one-piece armor set, yet he thought highly of himself. He was just being arrogant.

Even though Wu Mo was a little ticked off, he would not lose his cool because of such a person.

Now, whether it was the Invisibility Armor or the Spirit Wave Sword, they were both top-secret projects in the White River province. Everyone who had seen these two pieces of equipment had signed a confidentiality agreement.

It could not be disclosed to anyone aside from those in the official organization.

As a member of the Research Department, how could Wu Mo not know the rules?

Therefore, when Chu Qingyan asked about those projects, Wu Mo just brushed it off.

“I’ve been in the Fifth Research Department for less than a year, so of course I’m still studying. As for the Invisibility Armor, it’s still in a perfect state, and it hasn’t been ma.s.s-produced yet.”

Wu Mo tried his best to suppress his rage.

“Haha, I haven’t seen you for a few months. I never thought you’d still be stuck at the same place. What a joke.”

The smile on Chu Qingyan’s face grew even wider in the video. He was extremely satisfied with Wu Mo’s current state.
