Just as Ye Ning calmed down a little, someone else walked into the conference room. This man was wearing a strict black military uniform, and his epaulettes were shining with silver, indicating his lofty status. But this was not what attracted Ye Ning's attention the most, because he knew this person - the Minister of Defense, Li Jingwu.
Ye Ning remembered Li Jingwu a year ago. At that time, his eyes showed determination and sharpness, and he always had a cold smile on his lips, as if everything was under his control. But Li Jingwu at this moment is in sharp contrast to him in memory. His eyes seemed a little cloudy, losing their former vigor, and the original pride on his face had been replaced by a kind of cowardice. He looked like an old man who had just suffered a major blow.
When Ye Ning's eyes met Li Jingwu's, he saw Li Jingwu's submissive expression, as if he was avoiding something or afraid of something.
"Minister Li, you're here quite early." Ye Ning tried to break the awkward atmosphere with him.
But Li Jingwu's reaction made Ye Ning even more confused. He just nodded slightly without any words. He walked quickly to his seat as if it was his only safe haven. When he sat down, his body trembled slightly, his fingers tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, and his eyes showed an unbelievable fear.
Ye Ning frowned, and the doubts in his heart were even worse. He knew that everything that happened in the Tiantian Temple was not that simple. But now, Li Jingwu's abnormality has undoubtedly given Ye Ning more thoughts and worries.
The Li Jingwu in front of Ye Ning was no longer the domineering Minister of Defense, but a middle-aged man who looked a little timid and fearful. He noticed that Li Jingwu kept glancing around, as if he was worried about being watched, which made Ye Ning even more curious. He decided to get closer and look for answers.
Moving gently, Ye Jing walked quietly to Li Jingwu's side. He could feel the slight trembling of Li Jingwu's body. All of this was completely different from the Li Jingwu he knew before. Ye Ning watched him with interest, and then whispered: "Minister Li, where is Chief Yu? Why is there no longer his name here?"
Li Jingwu obviously didn't expect Ye Ning to ask suddenly. He was slightly shocked, and then his eyes finally met Ye Ning's. Ye Ning could see the uneasiness and worry in Li Jingwu's eyes. He took a deep breath with a hint of sobs in his voice: "Chief Yu, he died of illness a month ago. The specific illness has not been announced."
Ye Ning's heart suddenly shook. He didn't expect such an answer at all. Leader Yu, the powerful leader who once led mankind to glory, passed away like this. Although Ye Ning knew that Leader Yu had been in poor health, the Dawn Potion made his health improve significantly. Such an ending made him feel shocked.
But Ye Ning didn't show much emotion. He nodded slightly and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Okay, I'll go find Fan Ruxian after the meeting."
Ye Ning originally maintained a trace of calmness, but Li Jingwu's next words shocked him completely. In this moment of silence, Ye Ning could clearly hear the sound of time moving in the conference room. The sound was like a mockery, slow and heavy.
"Fan Ruxian also died of illness." Li Jingwu's words were trembling, as if he was announcing an unacceptable fact. There was a deep worry in his eyes, as if he could foresee the coming storm in the future.
Ye Ning's heartbeat accelerated, and he felt an unprecedented sense of depression. He could understand Yu Xuannao's death from illness as an accident, but Fan Ruxian also passed away one after another, which made Ye Ning have to believe that there was some kind of conspiracy. This means that earth-shaking changes are taking place at the top of mankind.
Li Jingwu seemed to have caught Ye Ning's doubts. He lowered his head and avoided Ye Ning's eyes, as if to warn Ye Ning how dangerous the current situation was. His voice was deeper, with obvious fear: "Now at the top of the human race, Commander Wu Yu has been ousted, and Commander Jiang Kaixu is in power."
Ye Ning's eyes suddenly became sharp. He gripped the edge of the table tightly and his face turned pale. He felt a strong sense of crisis from Li Jingwu's words and realized that mankind might be going through a process of regime change, and his position had become extremely delicate.
Li Jingwu didn't dare to look at Ye Ning anymore. He knew that he had told too many secrets, but he also knew that for Ye Ning,
For them, knowing the truth may be their only way out. The conference room at this moment was full of tension and crisis, as if unpredictable changes might break out at the next moment.
Ye Ning stood on one side of the conference room, his eyes never moving away from Li Jingwu. Hearing Li Jingwu's words, his heart tightened, as if thousands of thoughts were flooding into his mind at this moment. He thought of the conflict between Li Jingwu and Jiang Kaixu that people were talking about all those years ago. At that time, he was just a bystander and didn't speculate too much. But now, Jiang Kaixu's power has risen to an unprecedented height, and those past stories and rumors seem to have become true.
Ye Ning looked at Li Jingwu's back. The once straight back seemed to be much more rickety now. He seemed to be able to see the panic and anxiety deep in Li Jingwu's heart. He was worried about his life and status. This kind of Li Jingwu was in sharp contrast to the Minister of Defense in Ye Ning's memory. The confident and domineering minister seemed to have turned into a little person who was afraid of power.
A cold light flashed in Ye Ning's eyes, and he noticed the fear emanating from Li Jingwu. The atmosphere of being so insignificant and fearful in the face of power seemed to tell Ye Ning that Jiang Kaixu's leadership had made the entire top management panic. He seemed to understand why Li Jingwu chose to come to the conference room at this time. He no longer wanted to show his majesty, but wanted to use his low profile and obedience to show his loyalty to Jiang Kaixu, hoping to get his forgiveness.
And that submissive and cautious attitude also showed Li Jingwu's deep fear of Jiang Kaixu. He was afraid that he would suddenly "die of illness" like Yu Xuannao and Fan Ruxian. Ye Ning took a deep breath. He knew that in the coming days, the upper echelons of mankind would experience an unprecedented storm, and he and Li Yishuang would also be in it. They must act carefully, for the sake of themselves and the people they love. .
Ye Ning's heart was in turmoil, but he still maintained his calm appearance. When he heard the movement outside the conference room, he knew that other people were coming here one after another. In this chaotic and uncertain situation, Ye Ning decided to get to know everyone in the conference room first.
Ye Ning slowly returned to his seat. He sat upright and stared firmly in the direction of the door. People walked into the conference room one after another. They seemed to behave cautiously, but Ye Ning could see the nervousness and vigilance in their eyes. Everyone is looking for possible dangers. They all know that the top human beings are undergoing a drastic change at this moment.
Sure enough, as Li Jingwu said, Commander Wu Yu did not appear in the conference room. Looking at the empty premium seat, Ye Ning felt an ominous premonition in her heart. He understood that this vacant seat might indicate the beginning of a split in the top ranks of mankind.
Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a powerful momentum rushed towards him. Ye Ning raised his head and saw Commander Jiang Kaixu striding into the conference room with a serious and fierce look on his face. His eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, scanning everyone fiercely. Every step seemed so determined, as if unstoppable.
Ye Ning looked at him, filled with vigilance. He knew that this person who walked in was not only Commander Jiang Kaixu who had just returned to the human world for a year, but also the rise of a new power.
In fact, Jiang Kaixu is also a bit "mutated". After all, he was also someone who had undergone surgery, but he was too far away and Wang Lei's brain waves couldn't control him at that time. Being tortured by the Lion King and other animals left these mutations deep in Jiang Kaixu's bones.
This is also a double-edged sword, which makes Jiang Kaixu grumpy and brainless when he comes back. But it also allowed him to take his strength to the next level after recovering from his injuries.
Jiang Kaixu said: "I won't say any more nonsense and go straight to the topic. Ye Ning has returned from the Western Continent. Let Ye Ning share what he has seen and what dangers there are on the Western Continent."
Under the call of Commander Jiang Kaixu, Ye Ning slowly stood up. He faced the hall full of people, his heart full of determination. Ye Ning understood that this was not just a simple sharing, but also a practical action to prove his determination and decision.
In silent anticipation, Ye Ning began his statement. He shared his insights and experiences in the Western Continent in detail. He mentioned the animals living there and how they struggled to resist the interference that threatened their survival.
Big tree. He also did not forget to mention the terrifying destructive power and the threat that tree brought to the entire planet.
His tone was filled with concern, but also determination. Every word is as heavy as a stone, and every sentence is like a sharp arrow, piercing the listener's heart. Under his description, everyone in the conference room seemed to have seen the scene of the Western Continent and felt the thrilling atmosphere.
Then, Ye Ning mentioned his suggestion. He emphasized the dangers of giant trees, and he made people understand that they must unite to find a way to eradicate them. He also mentioned the animals on the Western Continent. They were willing to cooperate with humans to fight against the source of the troubled world.
"I came back mainly to do two things. One is to provide some data on the towering tree and find a way to eradicate it. The other is to promote our cooperation with the animals on the Western Continent." Ye Ning said slowly.
