"Old man!" Lin Fan subconsciously hid the Snickers bar that he had just put in his mouth but had not yet bitten behind him and greeted him respectfully.
"You eat yours, you eat yours." The old man looked at the people on the screen with a smile, and the kindness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Lin Fan smiled and stopped being pretentious. He quickly stuffed the saliva-soaked snack he had already opened into his mouth, chewing it briefly before swallowing it.
Even after Wu Yusen finished greeting her, she didn't move to eat anything else. Zhu Cunjun quickly asked them to sit down, and the meeting officially began.
The main purpose of this meeting was for the two of them to report the situation directly to the old man.
There is evidence from the footage in John Woo's glasses that the existence of the ugly woman is a foregone conclusion.
Although the wearer was unconscious and the angle was wrong, no actual content was recorded.
But after Lin Fan recounted the incredible story, no one doubted the truthfulness of her words.
After all, there was no need for Lin Fan to make up a story to deceive them.
Besides, the old man had met her before, so he had a good idea of her.
I have positive values, I'm kind, hardworking, and humble... Okay, I have a little low self-esteem...
Anyway, he is a good and likable kid.
Her current treatment and living conditions do not give her any motivation to tell such a huge lie.
Besides, Lin Fan's intelligence was not enough to make up such a logically complete and incredible story in such a short time.
Of course, this sentence cannot be said openly, as it is somewhat hurtful.
Even though Zhu Cunjun had heard it once and knew what was going on, he couldn't help but feel a chill when he heard it again. But he was mentally prepared, so this time he didn't let his smile fade.
As the old man listened, his expression grew serious. He occasionally lowered his head to take notes, but he never interrupted Wu Yusen and Lin Fan's narration.
It wasn't until the rescue team showed up, brought a tablet and a generator, and the few people escaped successfully, that Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
She rarely talks so much, but today she spoke twice.
Wu Yusen pushed the cup of warm water towards Lin Fan, earning her a grateful smile.
The old man waited for Lin Fan to mutter "ton ton ton" and drink a glass of water before he started asking questions.
I delve into some details and occasionally listen to the whispers of people around me.
It was only at this time that Lin Fan realized that there was more than one person on the old man's side, but the camera was only facing him.
Come to think of it, it's such a big thing, and there are so many people involved.
No matter how capable the old man is, his abilities are limited. The fastest and most efficient way is to involve a think tank.
The think tank's questions were detailed and dense, and Lin Fan and John Woo always had to think for a long time before giving an answer.
I deeply feel that the focus of smart people's minds is different from that of ordinary people.
The meeting lasted for a long time, until dark, when the old man finally resolved the issue.
Everyone started a new round of summary.
The first and most urgent thing is the arrangement for the female clown.
"As for her identity... since this happened so long ago, it's impossible to verify. For now, let's just consider her a female clown," the old man said firmly. "Since she can ignore the strength of Xingchen's mecha and nearly strangle her to death, even if this is her only ability, it's enough to warrant our attention."
Zhu Cunjun and John Woo nodded.
Even though Lin Fan had said this over and over again, he couldn't help but touch his neck when he heard it.
It had been a long time since she had felt the threat of death, but she still felt a bit scared.
"Since the video can currently soothe her, we must maintain her in this state and not give her the opportunity to be dissatisfied or rage. Even if Xingchen can fight her... we should avoid fighting if possible. It's always better to have more friends than more enemies. If we really can't be friends, strangers will do."
Lin Fan nodded vigorously. If you can avoid fighting an opponent like the clown, then do so.
"It's a good thing she has a serious cognitive gap. We'll select some videos that are useful to us and show them to her so she can watch more." As the old man spoke, he turned his head and instructed the think tank, "If we handle it properly, we might even be able to gain another helper."
If a person develops a liking for something or a group of people through subtle influence, he or she will subconsciously avoid conflict or even defend it once something happens.
For people with established values, such changes are not particularly easy and require a lot of long-term brainwashing.
But for a situation like that of an ugly woman, it is perfectly suitable.
Her worldview needs to be reshaped. Her outlook on life is about protection, and her values can also be guided through videos...
It is equivalent to an antique white paper with a few strokes written on it by Nuwa. What patterns they can draw on it depends entirely on their own ability.
Lin Fan watched the old man talking and applauded in his heart.
Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy!
"The underground infrastructure must also be worked on quickly. Water, electricity, and power grids are essential." The old man continued to assign tasks. "Not only must it be fast, but it must also be good. Create the most comfortable living environment for the ugly woman. Don't let any opportunity to improve her favorability slip away."
"Yes, I'll arrange it now," someone on the screen replied. "We'll try to have the first wave of personnel in place within 24 hours."
The generator's power and the videos on the tablet should last a while. But who knows if the ugly woman's mentality will change? The sooner the better.
"Okay, go make the arrangements. Xiao Zhu, you should also arrange some people to go with us." The old man turned his head to talk to the man, then turned back to look at the screen and said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, you should also accompany me and provide some protection."
Every profession has its own expertise. If you want infrastructure to be built quickly and efficiently, you still need professionals to do it.
The people sent by the Special Affairs Office were to ensure the safety of the workers, and Lin Fan was sent there simply because she could intimidate the ugly woman, to make her presence felt and prevent her from acting rashly.
"Okay!" Lin Fan agreed without saying a word.
As the only one who can suppress the ugly woman, she has no choice but to do it.
"Grandpa, I have an idea," Zhu Cunjun said. "Can we ask Jin Sichen to go and take a look? You know, this child's eyes..."
Jin Sichen's eyes are his gift, they have hypnotic power. As long as you look into his eyes, you will be hypnotized.
The only exception is Lin Fan.
If the ugly woman is immune to Jin Sichen's hypnosis, then this trip is in vain and there is nothing to say.
If it works...
The old man groaned for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Okay. But we need to strengthen the protective measures to prevent any accidents."
Zhu Cunjun agreed with a smile.
"Next is the origin of the world." The old man said this and let out a long breath, "Well... to be honest, I still can't fully believe it."
Who can believe it? No one believes it!
But it is impossible not to believe it. Indeed, if we follow this theory of origin, many previously unsolved mysteries become reasonable.
"Old man, why don't we put this off for now? It will take some time to find the information." Someone nearby suggested.
Not to mention the old man, even the so-called genius brains in the think tank had some difficulty accepting it.
I understand everything, but it takes time to verify and accept it.
"That's fine. This isn't urgent. Let's postpone it for a few days." The old man was flexible and moved directly to the next topic.
World Tree.
Oh, my goodness, did you guess wrong?
For such a big thing, the old man must show up, hehehe
