Zhong Yan understood how important power is since he was a child.
He was once adopted by a couple who had been unable to have children for a long time. The husband of the couple is the boss of a large local enterprise, and he is a very wealthy family in the local area. He still remembers that when he was adopted, all the orphans who lived with him were jealous.
But less than a year later, the adoptive mother became pregnant. They paid a considerable fine, gave birth to the child, and then Zhong Yan was sent back. He didn't know until he returned to the orphanage that his adoptive parents revealed to the orphanage that he had stolen property from the family, but the adoptive father was generous and didn't want a credit record to ruin the child's life, so he didn't report it. The court signed an adoption annulment agreement.
Somehow the matter got out of the wind, and the children in the orphanage were talking about it. Zhong Yan, who was the prettiest, was a thief, so he was sent back.
"I didn't steal anything!" Zhong Yan, who was only seven years old, blushed and said excitedly, "Why does he say that? Let him report it, let 'Die' investigate! I didn't!"
No one paid any attention to him, and the staff grabbed his arm and dragged him back to the dormitory. It doesn't take a shrewd mind to understand this matter. If you have your own child and choose to abandon your adopted son, but you don't want to be punished, you just need to put all the blame on this child who has no father and no mother.
Ten years later, Zhong Yan was admitted to the highest institution, and the first thing he did when he got rid of that small planet was to report to Capital Star that the director of the orphanage took bribes.
He is the newly promoted champion of the Federation, the distinguished freshman representative of the highest institution, and the Star Council of the Capital accepted the applications very quickly. In the second week of school, he received the news that the orphanage had been seized, implicating many local giants.
How easy! The mountain that once made him unable to breathe, just fell down in a flick of a finger.
This is the first time in his life that he has tasted the taste of power. He couldn't hold back his joy and shared the news with his roommate. His roommate told him that the situation in the orphanage is not an exception. The so-called surveillance system today is just to monitor civilians. That's all. The more people in high positions, the more ways they can escape—even by using the so-called "ubiquitous" artificial intelligence.
His roommate is an anti-AI. Zhong Yan didn't really care about this. To be honest, let alone artificial intelligence, even if the interstellar giant rabbit rules the human race, as long as he lives well, it doesn't matter whether the human race survives or dies after a hundred years.
It doesn't matter if you say he is ruthless or unrighteous, he was born with no one to care about, and he doesn't care about anyone.
But there was no need to tell the new roommate about this—although this roommate came from a big family of Capital Star, he didn't have the airs of a young master at all, and instead treated him very well and regarded him as a good friend.
No one has ever been so kind to him. This is the first friend in his life.
Adrian said, don't be friends with him anymore.
Zhong Yan lay down on the stairs in a dazed state, covering his face with his hands, a transparent crystal liquid seeped out from between his fingers, and hit the ground drop by drop.
In the middle of the night, footsteps suddenly sounded in this quiet corridor.
Zhong Yan was startled, hurriedly wiped his face with his shirt sleeve, and asked sharply, "Who?!"
The footsteps were not affected at all, all the way up, Zhong Yan subconsciously wanted to hide his embarrassed appearance, but he didn't have any strength in his body, so he could only watch someone appear in his field of vision—
Adrian had indeed never seen Zhong Yan like this. He fell powerlessly to the ground, his face was sickly, his beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with tears, and his surroundings were red.
Adrian said uncomfortably, "I haven't cried yet, but you did. Why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry." Zhong Yan said.
Adrian stared at him, he was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while, and then said after a while: "Is your accompanying assistant dead or something? Let them pick you up."
"I'm fine. I'll be back after a while."
Calm down, calm down, don't get angry. Adrian persuaded himself, it's not like you don't know this person's virtue.
"You don't contact your people, do you?" He asked again patiently.
Zhong Yan felt chills all over his body, almost shaking from the cold, he desperately hoped that Adrian would leave quickly, instead of looking at him like this, he insisted, "I'm fine."
"Okay, then I'll contact my people."
"What..." Zhong Yan couldn't finish, Adrian's coat roughly covered him, and then he suddenly lightened, so startled that he subconsciously put his arms around the other's neck—he was hugged horizontally.
Finn had a very tiring day.
He already knew that when Adrian and Zhong Yan met, there would be an explosion, but he still underestimated the trouble-making ability of these two people, and he didn't expect that they could produce so much news in just half a day. The virtual community has been carnival to the present, and as people in different time zones wake up one after another, this enthusiasm will continue for a long time...
Whatever they say, this thrilling day is fortunately over.
In fact, this is also good, everyone's attention is on the grievances of this pair, and the real purpose of their group's login to Xuefuxing this time has been covered up instead.
Finn was comforting himself in pain, when a virtual screen popped up on his terminal—Adrian's voice communication.
"Commander, you've been walking for a long time. Ready to go back to the warship?"
"Well, on the way."
"Okay, I'll get them ready to go back..."
"Wait a minute. Don't go back yet. You go and inform the medical officer... don't move!"
Finn asked in confusion, "What? I didn't move?"
"It's not about you!" Adrian's voice sounded quite annoyed, "There is a camera ten meters away, if you move again, I will throw you there, you try?"
Fein's drowsiness was swept away, and he gossiped excitedly: "Wow! I said, why did you go out for so long in the middle of the night? Who are you with? Primary school girl? It's so boring, why didn't you call me?"
"Get out. Ask the medical officer to prepare a bed, clear the consulting room, and remove the monitoring and recording equipment."
"What? You still want to bring it back?" Finn said in shock, "And use the bed in the consulting room? Is it so exciting?"
Adrian shouted: "What are you thinking about! Let the medical officer stand by in the consulting room!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the communication.
Finn pondered for a while. Adrian sounded very angry, it didn't look like he was injured, most likely the one who was injured was the other party, what kind of injury could he suffer in the middle of the night
Adrian also specifically emphasized the removal of the warship's internal monitoring equipment in the consulting room...
Fein felt that he had fully understood the meaning of his boss, and hurriedly dragged the accompanying medical officer up from the bed.
"You're back, the medical officer has been waiting for you for a long time..." Finn's eyes widened before he finished speaking.
Adrian came in from the security door, holding a man in his arms—this is not the point, because Fein was not surprised by this incident because he knew some inside stories back then. What surprised him was that although this man's head, face and upper body were covered by Adrian's coat, the area that a coat could cover was limited after all. This man was obviously wearing a black formal suit.
He is not a student.
"Uh," Finn paused, "Here, is this a professor or... today's guest?"
The mysterious man flinched, and wrapped his arms around Adrian's neck more tightly. Only then did Finn notice that the white and thin wrist exposed by the other party, with slender fingers, looked very young.
A pair of very young hands, probably not a professor. Many of the guests wore black formal suits, but young ones with this figure and fair complexion... Fein's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that these hands seemed a little familiar.
Adrian glared at Finn, "Where are you talking so much nonsense. Do what you should do." He said and carried the man to the consulting room, leaving behind the adjutant who was struggling to digest the news.
Wei Lan opened the door for Adrian, glanced at his arms, and said, "Men? Then you can't lie down, put it on your side on the bed."
Adrian was inexplicable: "Why do you put the fever on the side? What kind of man?"
Wei Lan paused when preparing the equipment, raised her eyes and asked, "Fever? But the adjutant said..."
"say what?"
"... nothing. Do you know what caused the fever?"
"Cold for a long time? There may be something else, let me show you." Adrian said, and put him on the bed. The man in the coat was very quiet.
Wei Lan silently put all the prepared instruments back and took out the routine inspection instruments.
He was about to lift the coat off the person on the bed when Adrian grabbed his hand.
"Have all the cameras in this room been removed?"
Wei Lan nodded: "Those who can be withdrawn are withdrawn, and those who cannot be withdrawn notify the people in the monitoring room to block the signal."
"You heard me. There is no monitoring." Adrian said, and lifted his coat himself.
After tossing and tossing for a while, the blush on Zhong Yan's face has spread to the whole face. It is unknown whether it is a fever or anger, or it may be due to the lack of oxygen after several unsuccessful struggles on the road. He said angrily: "You are too unreasonable! You are-you are-"
"Hijacking MPs? Kidnapping high-level members of the House of Representatives?" Adrian smiled provocatively, "Go and sue me."
Wei Lan listened silently to their quarreling back and forth, until Adrian turned his attention to him again, before asking: "Commander, are you sure you are sane? This person is Mr. Zhong Yan."
Wei Lan's greatest strength is his composure. He used to be calm in the face of danger, and he pulled Finn back from the death line during a search and suppression operation. It was just when Adrian was just in power and was vigorously developing his direct line, so he was outlawed. After being promoted, he has now served as the chief medical officer of the Na'vi Military Region.
But his biggest shortcoming is also too calm. Except for death, he always said some terrible things with a calm face. More than one person reacted unbearably to Adrian, and wanted to beat the medical officer every time he saw a doctor.
The veins on Adrian's forehead twitched, and he finally felt empathy. He said patiently, "Shall I report my security code for you to confirm? I know who this is! You should heal it quickly, heal it and let him go!" "
"I'm not sick!" Zhong Yan was still stubbornly resisting, but it was a pity that he struggled to say these few words, and it was really not convincing.
Someone knocked on the door of the consulting room.
Adrian opened the virtual screen of the terminal and glanced at it, and said to Wei Lan: "I still have something to do, I'll be back in a while."
Finn was circling anxiously outside the door. Seeing that Adrian had finally come out, he asked eagerly, "How is it going? Is there any help?"
Adrian: "... what can help? Don't you have a report to talk to me?"
Finn waved his hand, "Oh, wait until the report, this matter is more urgent. What kind of relationship do we have, what are you hiding from me? You came back with him in your arms—did you break your leg?"
