How could he die so suddenly? Jiang Hui couldn't figure it out, just as she couldn't figure out how she had traveled through thousands of stars and gained a new life.
But no matter how technology develops, no matter how time passes, even if the world changes completely, life is still so fragile and perishable.
Such a topic suddenly made everyone's mood drop to the bottom. No one was in the mood to talk or laugh. Perhaps it could be said that they had not yet recovered from this sudden misfortune. It was just that everyone tried to hide the heaviness and depression in their hearts and wanted to show their good side to their friends.

"Has the child returned?" The man at the main seat at the huge conference table asked with his head tilted.
The young man in military uniform standing on the side seemed to have expected that he would ask about this matter, and hurriedly reported the information he had just received to his superior. At present, Zhou Xiuwen has moved into the West White Building with several people, and assigned rooms to each of them. The staff serving in the house have already delivered daily necessities to them.
"You brought them all back?" But Zhou Yuanjing was a little surprised when he heard it and confirmed again.
"Except for the young master of the Clarence family who is still receiving treatment in the hospital, the rest have been brought back. They should stay here for a few days, and our subordinates will increase vigilance during these days..." The man thought that Zhou Yuanjing was concerned about the strangers staying in the Zhou residence, and hurriedly explained.
The pale-faced man waved his hand and said, "Awen has already told me in advance that they are just bringing back a few classmates. There is nothing to be shy about. Let them do as they please."
"And I don't know when I can get around to going over there these days, so I'm sure I haven't treated them well enough. If you have time, please help me go over there and take a look. Try to meet any needs they have..." After all, the child really has too few friends.
He had watched the game in person two months ago, so he naturally knew some information about Zhou Xiuwen's friends.
Although it was his idea to let the other party study on such a small planet, and he also considered the lack of environment and connections, this was not a problem at all for his, Zhou Yuanjing's only son, and there was no need to worry about it.
I never thought that such a small Beskar Junior College is actually full of hidden talents. Not to mention the forces and teachers behind it, even many of the students in this class are from some famous families. It is more interesting than some schools in the capital, which is very strange.
This kid is a bit gentle and kind, but he is actually a bit distant and rarely takes the initiative to get close to others. This can be seen from the fact that he gets along with his classmates in the class. As a result, he made a group of friends, but each of them has a complicated identity.
But it doesn't matter. In terms of complexity... who can compare to their family? It's just a child's play, there's nothing to be afraid of. And Zhou Yuanjing is naturally happy to see Zhou Xiuwen getting closer to a group of children with clean backgrounds and good character, rather than those guys with ulterior motives.
But he didn't expect that he would accidentally implicate others this time. It was the first time that his son showed such resistance. The other party didn't want to drag his friend into this mess...
At this point, unless Zhou Xiuwen could persuade them to give up watching the game without any reason, any disclosure of inside information might risk exposing secrets. This was something Zhou Yuanjing could never allow, and it was an ironclad order for the army to carry out its mission.
But the kid's reaction was really big, so he gave the other party some opportunities to operate, including tampering with the transportation and even controlling a certain restricted section of the road... But the other party's methods were too weak and lacked courage. Once discovered, he couldn't help but stop, resulting in failure to stop him in the end.
His friends and their group finally arrived at the stadium successfully.
After this incident, I think the stubborn child will realize that his indecisive nature is no longer appropriate and he should break away from the past in time, otherwise he will suffer from it in the future.
Of course, it’s not that Zhou Yuanjing was cruel and used other people’s children to pave the way for his own children. It’s just that he didn’t expect the military to go to this extent. He thought it was just a small chaos.
However, even with the assistance of other parties and the deployment of the most elite troops of the Third Legion, the other side still encountered considerable problems and ultimately failed in the personnel screening process, giving the rebels the opportunity to turn against them again and break through from the inside.
The military's miscalculation naturally disrupted Zhou Yuanjing's arrangements, causing many casualties, most of whom were innocent civilians involved in the incident, which was contrary to their original idea of protecting the civilians. Zhou Yuanjing knew that this was also his responsibility and dereliction of duty.
Those who made mistakes on the military side had to reflect on themselves and accept punishment. The same thing happened on their side, and the only thing they could do next was to try their best to compensate those poor people who lost their lives.
He was thinking too far ahead. Zhou Yuanjing's heart, which had been slightly happy because he knew his son had returned safely, suddenly sank again.
He checked the time, then sent a message to Zhou Xiuwen, asking him to call him later, and then continued his meeting with the generals.
Suddenly, there was a heavy knock at the door of the conference room. The group of generals who were originally talking in low voices around the conference table immediately stopped talking and looked towards the man in the main seat above.
The other party nodded, cleared his throat and said, "Come in."
The heavy door of the conference room was pushed open on both sides, revealing the figure behind the door. It was Zong Ting who had separated from Jiang Hui and the others not long ago.
The other party had been communicating on the spacecraft for a long time, and the call was only ended not long ago. When he got on the hovercraft and arrived at the main house, Jiang Hui and his friends had already settled down in the small white building.
However, Lieutenant Colonel Zong Ting's work has just begun.

Although it is called Little White Building, it is probably just a figurative name, because the building looks really big and stands on the right side of the magnificent main house.
This columnar building is five stories high. As its name suggests, its exterior walls are painted white, but it is not the kind of shiny white. Instead, it has a matte-like luster, which contrasts with the green plants spiraling up the exterior walls, giving it a sense of mystery.
I heard from Zhou Xiuwen that he actually seldom comes to this building. It seems that he has only been here a few times since he moved into the Zhou residence. Because there have never been any relatives or friends who need to be entertained here before, even if there are, they generally do not choose to live here, so the building has always been empty.
Jiang Hui and his group became the first guests to enjoy this building.
Although no one has lived here for a long time and the owner does not often come here, there are still many staff members in charge of this place. There are special people who clean the building on weekdays, so Jiang Hui and others just need to pack their bags and move in.
