Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 751 - 7900)_2

Dr. Meng Ji's spaceship had landed not long ago, and he immediately rushed over with his research team without stopping for breath. Chen Gu took this opportunity to call Aviloya. "Number 21 has come looking for me," he said.

"It's not safe to talk over the phone. Come here," she replied.

Chen Gu wasn't trying to "act important." He was genuinely worried that Number 21 might have tampered with him somehow and didn't dare to wander far from the spaceport.

The spaceport area had already been sealed off.

Dr. Meng Ji personally conducted a thorough examination of Chen Gu but found nothing.

Aviloya had arrived. With a stern face, she said, "Repeat everything to me, word for word, without adding any of your personal emotions or judgments."

"Okay." Chen Gu immediately recounted the event in detail. Is Number 21 truly trying to turn an enemy into a friend? he wondered. Are they even hoping to pull me into the Digital Group? Or is this merely a crude trick to sow discord?

Behind Aviloya were more special operatives whom Chen Gu had never seen before. Their uniforms differed from the standard Bureau of Mystic Security attire—they were from the Constitutional Affairs Group!

As Chen Gu recounted each key point, Aviloya would give a slight wave of her hand, and the corresponding members of the Constitutional Affairs Group would depart to swiftly begin their investigations.

Chen Gu was completely amenable to this, even magnanimously harboring no negative feelings.

Number 21 initiating contact with him was an extremely dangerous situation; no amount of caution could be considered excessive.

After Chen Gu finished speaking, Aviloya remained silent, her hands behind her back. The silence lasted for over half an hour until the first wave of Constitutional Affairs Group operatives returned. "We've checked this spaceship," one reported, "and found a security breach, with some traces indicating that something indeed came aboard."

A while later, another batch from the Constitutional Affairs Group returned. "We've checked," they reported. "After that security guard reported the incident, the police system of Nie Dun 6, as well as our planetary division systems, were covertly altered. Judging by the technique, it was likely Number 21."

However, one team from the Constitutional Affairs Group still hadn't returned, the nature of their investigation unknown. Aviloya didn't wait any longer and turned to Dr. Meng Ji. "What were the results of his examination?"

Dr. Meng Ji shook his head. "We found nothing. I can guarantee that, at least in terms of mental purity, there's no problem. Nor are there any worm eggs parasitizing his body."

"But the Digital Group are a bunch of monsters. Whether they have other secret methods... I honestly can't be sure," he added.

Chen Gu frowned. Perhaps this was Number 21's true intention—to make me an object of suspicion?

Aviloya nodded and said to Chen Gu, "For the time being, don't handle any cases from the Bureau. Let's observe for a while longer."

"Alright," Chen Gu agreed.

To be fair, Aviloya imposing no restrictions on his movements and merely asking him not to handle cases was already quite a lenient measure.

Aviloya left immediately. The potential infestation of ironworms within the Confederation was causing extreme tension throughout the Bureau of Mystic Security. The Bureau had already begun covert mobilization, and Aviloya was swamped with work.

And at such a critical time, I can only "relax" on leave...

Chen Gu felt frustrated and cursed Number 21 over and over in his mind.

This incident made Chen Gu once again recognize the threat posed by Number 21. A "digital person" lurking in the interstellar quantum network was almost impossible to guard against. He had to find a method, or at least a person, capable of restricting or at least confronting them.

Chen Gu's car was parked at the spaceport. After bidding everyone goodbye, he drove home alone.

On the way, his phone suddenly rang. Chen Gu was quite surprised to see it was the Director-General.

"That fool Aviloya!" the Director-General began, criticizing his former student. "How could she not see through such a simple scheme?"

"At a time like this, how can a key player like you be sitting idle?"

Chen Gu spoke in Aviloya's defense, "The Director-General is in a difficult position. Faced with such a situation, she can only act with caution."

"HUMPH!" The Director-General snorted coldly. "The higher the office, the greater the cowardice!"

Chen Gu inwardly agreed but didn't feel it was appropriate to voice his concurrence. The Director-General then said, "Never mind the Bureau of Mystic Security. She's not letting you participate in the Bureau's work, right? That's fine. Come back to the academy. I'm preparing to start the third practical class."

Chen Gu smiled. "What's the curriculum this time?"

The Director-General's tone became laced with a tempting excitement. "It's particularly thrilling. We're going to the battlefield!"

The practical class was already arranged, though he would have to wait a while. Chen Gu took the opportunity to negotiate with the Behemoth Alliance, scheduling several more matches for himself during this period to catch up on his previously lagging progress.

The Behemoth Alliance official responsible for coordinating with Chen Gu was moved to tears. Our rising superstar! he thought. You've finally remembered the Alliance you've neglected for so long!

Chen Gu had been very busy recently, so his matches had to be pushed back.

Initially, the Alliance maintained a stance that while negotiations were possible, the schedule was the schedule. For any matches that genuinely couldn't be rescheduled, if Chen Gu was absent, he could only be judged to have forfeited. They would then announce publicly that Chen Gu was still recovering from injuries sustained in a previous match.

However, as time went on, the situation gradually changed. Chen Gu's popularity soared. Furthermore, the Alliance's first successful Combat Rooster from the Energy Gathering Mechanical Species was garnering increasing attention. They could no longer handle matters so crudely.
