386 Causing Trouble (2/2)
”Reason?” Flemington frowned and stared at Fang Zhao.
”Feeling,” Fang Zhao replied.
Flemington was at a loss for words.
Curly Hair was lying by Fang Zhao's feet. He raised his head to look at Flemington before turning to Fang Zhao. Those innocent looking eyes appeared as though he completely didn't understand what these people were saying.
Flemington pondered for a bit. ”Regardless whether this sound has any invasive properties or not, we must get to the bottom of this matter!”
Flemington brought up the weather forecast, studying it before asking Fang Zhao. ”Can you determine which direction it is coming from?”
”Yes.” Fang Zhao pointed at a direction.
”How far? Flemington asked again.
”I can't say for certain, but it isn't within the scope of the base.”
”Then is that sound still emitting? Did you hear it last night?” Flemington continued his questioning.
”I didn't hear it last night, but it is still sounding now,” Fang Zhao replied truthfully.
Fang Zhao was certain he didn't hear it last night and Curly Hair hadn't acted out of the ordinary either. That sound definitely wasn't being emitted last night. Of course, there was the possibility that the sound had been further away so they hadn't heard it.
”Fang Zhao, could you help out tonight? I will dispatch men to follow you out of the base to trace the source of the sound. The storm outside is starting to weaken. There shouldn't be any storms that cannot be handled in the direction you pointed out in the next 20 hours.”
”Alright, but the program team starts filming tomorrow,” Fang Zhao said.
”Don't worry, I will handle it.”
After thinking about it, Flemington added himself to the group he arranged to escort Fang Zhao. He couldn't sit still in the base. Whether this was good or bad, he still had to get to the bottom of it.
The base was very efficient, and Flemington very quickly dispatched men, cars, and flying transports to bring Fang Zhao out of the base. A whole squad of people headed out in the direction where Fang Zhao had pointed out.
In the base.
Barbara was painting her nails. After today's trip out, the designs on her nails were messed up.
Because of Barbara's high standards, she spent two to three hours removing the nail polish before applying a manicure. Only the last bit was left.
Barbara's attendant was painting a design an artist had constructed personally for her. She had originally wanted the design to be embedded, but when she thought about how she had lost her diamond ring today, she changed her plans and at the same time pondered how to get her revenge on Zaro. For example… conning him of 100 million?
As she was deep in thought, a bodyguard who accompanied her over to Planet Bu rushed over and said some words to Barbara in a low soft voice.
Barbara's finger trembled and the design on her nails that was almost completed ruined. By her side, her attendant hung her head and didn't dare let out a squeak.
However, this time Barbara didn't care about her nails and only asked the bodyguard solemnly, ”Is the news verified?”
”Verified! Flemington has already brought Fang Zhao out of the base.”
”Chase after them!”
”Yes! I will dispatch someone to trail them in secret…”
The side of Barbara's lip curled upwards. ”No need. Just go follow them openly. I will personally bring people over!”
”It's too dangerous! Would Flemington try to do anything funny to us outside?” Another bodyguard replied worriedly.
”They wouldn't dare!” Barbara didn't want to continue explaining and arranged for her men to borrow a car from the base . She called over another bodyguard and told him, ”Leave Zaro's side a message. Let him know that Fang Zhao heard something. Flemington is currently bringing him along to search.”
”What about the others? Do we tell them too?” The bodyguard asked.
”No need. Once Zaro learns about it, the other two will also know,” Barbara said assuredly.
At Zaro's side.
Zaro was currently writing out a message at a tremendous speed. His mind was filled with stuff he wanted to grumble and complain to his grandfather about. After he was finished with the draft, he set it to send automatically when internet access became available.
Zaro's agent couldn't sleep from worry either. He was thinking about how to face Barbara's wrath tomorrow.
A accompanying bodyguard came over hurriedly and told Zaro the information he had just received.
”For real?!” Zaro had a look of pleasant surprise. He had been thoroughly engrossed in drafting his message and hadn't completely stepped out from the spoiled and adorable character he used with the Leizhou governor.
”The information is verified.”
”Great!!”
Zaro tossed aside all other thoughts and immediately called Woo Tianhao over to conspire and cause trouble.
This wasn't an obligation of friendship. Zaro also didn't analyze things as incisively as Barbara. However, he knew that pulling an extra person along meant more guarantees. It was just like finding someone to share the blame when causing trouble. At the end of the day, if everything went wrong, he wouldn't have to suffer alone.
”Could it be that he discovered ore again?!” This was Zaro's first thought.
”Probably not. This planet doesn't seem to be the sort that has power ores. And even if it did, the ores wouldn't be of a high grade and wouldn't have any extracting value.
”Then could it be aliens?” Zaro made another guess.
”… To be precise, we are the aliens to the native organisms of this planet,” Woo Tianhao retorted.
”Then it must surely be some other important matter! I know this fellow Fang Zhao. Although he isn't as handsome as me, his ears are even sharper than a dog's! Perhaps what he heard will be a startling discovery. We mustn't miss out on it!” Zaro thought that Woo Tianhao was afraid.
Woo Tianhao wasn't afraid; he was weighing the pros and cons, yet his brain had some areas that worked in a similar manner to Zaro's. After the conspiring, he realized that there was still too much pressure on the two of them. herefore, they got a hold of Mitisy, who couldn't sleep and was preparing to head to the exercise hall.
Mitisy froze when he heard what the other two said. He then handed his tennis racket over to a bodyguard and made a subtle hand gesture. That bodyguard left with the tennis racket and returned a short while later,whispering something to Mitisy.
After, Mitisy joined Zaro and Woo Tianhao in their covert activities.
”How about we first secretly…”
Just when this was suggested, they found out that Barbara had already brought a whole bunch of people and left the base with great fanfare.
The three: ”…”
What is there to sneak about? Hurry up! Gather men and set out!
The three didn't tarry, and just like Barbara, they borrowed vehicles and flying transports from the base with their entourage in tow.
At the area of the other program team members.
The director was studying the script intently. He had just discussed it with the screenwriter and added in a few topics to emphasize which could make the entire program better.
Full marks!
A godly masterpiece!
Breathtaking plot, dramatic ups and downs, how thrilling!
With five high-level special guests alongside such a script, the program would definitely make a comeback!
Calling on a few other program team members who couldn't sleep from excitement, the director said confidently, ”This time we will definitely soar!:
The other members were ecstatic. A pay raise was before them!
”Tomorrow, we will first…”
The beaming director hadn't even finished speaking when he received a notice from Bu Base——”Program filming is to be postponed and Fang Zhao will be borrowed.”
Director: ”…”
He was pissed!
The director didn't know the reason why Fang Zhao had been borrowed by the military. However, he felt that he should first placate the other special guests. Who knew if they would have any grievances?
The director made a call to Zaro's agent. He had yet to say anything when he heard the sound of wind whistling as a motorcade drove across sand.
There were also the excited ”whoops” of Zaro and Woo Tianhao beside.
Director: ”…”
Forget about everything else first. His heart was tired.
