Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 174 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (27)

"In other words, I am now the acting base commander... So, Captain Sun, do you have any questions about me taking them away?"

Sun Donghang fell silent. The reason was simple: with this token, he could indeed do whatever he wanted at the base.

Sun Donghang clenched his fists. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze from Zhong Liyu and stepped aside to make way for them to leave.

Zhong Liyu was about to leave when he seemed to remember something, stopped, and looked at Sun Donghang, who was standing to the side looking aggrieved: "I almost forgot... Captain Sun, please inform all the senior management of the base to hold a meeting in the conference room of the main building in half an hour."

After saying this, Zhong Liyu led his large group away without any concern that Sun Donghang would outwardly comply but inwardly disagree with him on this matter.

Following Zhong Liyu, they arrived at the conference room she had mentioned. Zhong Liyu naturally sat down in the second chair, then "looked" at Si Yan and pointed to the head seat, saying, "You can sit here."

Although her eyes were covered by a black veil, Si Yan felt that she was looking at him.

However, Si Yan was never such an arrogant person, and there was certainly no reason for him to sit in the host's seat right away.

Seeing that Si Yan hadn't moved for a long time, Zhongli Yu simply stood up, pressed him back into his seat, and then returned to his own seat: "My name is Zhongli Yu, the well-known 'Yu'. What's your name?"

"Si Yan, the name 'Yan' with three fires." He honestly answered with his name, secretly surprised. So this "prophet" was this kind of person?

Zhongli Yu nodded, looking as if he had expected it. Then, as if he had suddenly thought of the people standing in the room, he casually said, "Please sit wherever you like. It's not too late to give up your seats when the higher-ups arrive."

Shi Qi, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with Zhong Liyu. Besides, he didn't want to stand anyway, so upon hearing her words, he sat down nearby without any qualms.

Because Zhongli Yu was indeed very approachable in front of them, and Shi Qi had already taken the first seat, the others stopped being coy and followed suit.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Zhong Liyu relaxed even more than before. To be honest, the average height of everyone in the room was 175cm (she was the one who lowered the average), so standing really put a lot of pressure on her, a girl who was less than 160cm tall.

He turned his head to Si Yan again: "I suppose Zhong Yihuan already told you about the prophecy yesterday. Actually, the reason I brought you all here is for the meeting later."

"So far, only you, Zhong Yihuan, and I know about the prophecy; therefore, at the next meeting, I will announce the contents of the prophecy to the higher-ups of the base, and then recommend Si Yan for the position."

"Of course, the meeting will also include a discussion of the base commander's murder; however, the case is currently lacking crucial evidence, and it is unknown how the higher-ups will characterize it, but I will do my best to help you."

Zhongli Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because I believe in the future human leader I predicted."

After hearing her last sentence, Si Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and solemnly said, "Thank you."

Having said the important things, Zhong Liyu turned to look at He Chiyan, who was standing silently to the side with little light in his eyes: "He Chiyan, none of us don't know that you treat Zhong Yihuan like your own father, so I certainly don't believe you would do anything to him."

"Also, don't stay so down all the time. Look at me, I'm in pretty good spirits, aren't I? And if he knew, he would definitely be worried. You don't want him to have to worry about you even when he gets over there, do you?" She got up and walked to He Chiyan's side, patting the top of his head.

Although Zhong Liyu was obviously younger than He Chiyan, she was surprisingly skilled at this action; moreover, perhaps because they were "family," Zhong Liyu spoke to He Chiyan in a very casual tone.

Zhong Liyu: "The most urgent task is to elect Si Yan as the base commander. Otherwise, with the obstruction of Sun Donghang's faction, it will be difficult for us to find out the real cause of Zhong Yihuan's death."

He Chiyan silently removed the small hand from his head and nodded: "Yes, you're right; I will help Si Yan successfully take the position according to his wishes."

----

Soon after, the base's senior executives arrived at the conference room; the meeting soon began.

Zhong Liyu remained seated in her second-in-command chair, while Si Yan and the others had left their seats and stood side by side against the wall.

Seeing the crowd standing by the wall, the base's higher-ups pointed at them from time to time, seemingly not understanding why these people were also at the meeting.

It must be said that Sun Donghang's people were very good at spreading information. Although these high-ranking officials had never seen them in person, they already knew what the so-called murderer of the base chief looked like in less than half a day.

Clearly, Sun Donghang himself felt he had done a good job, because even so, he dared to cast an almost provocative glance at Zhong Liyu, the current leader of the base.

"Bang, bang—" Two dull thuds of slamming the table rang out: "Quiet down, everyone. This is a meeting, not a place for you to choose your son-in-law and daughter-in-law."

These high-ranking officials had never heard Zhong Liyu hold a meeting with them before, and they were somewhat taken aback when they first heard such an advanced metaphor.

Zhong Liyu didn't wait for their reaction and went straight to what she was going to say: "I know you may be very upset that a girl is giving you a meeting."

"But I have to tell you..." Zhong Liyu took out a token: "As long as I have this, and the status of a level seven ability user, I am the acting base chief when the base chief is absent. So, if you're not happy, keep it to yourself! Of course..."

Zhong Liyu curled the corners of his lips into a not-so-kind smile: "If you want to leave the base, I don't mind."

After waiting a moment, until everyone was silent and no one raised any objections, Zhong Liyu continued, "One of the purposes of this meeting is that I predicted last month—" He repeated the content of the prediction to the senior executives.

After the higher-ups had a chance to understand, Zhongli Yu introduced him to them: "This Si Yan is the human leader I predicted to appear."

Following the direction of her hand, the executives saw a man standing by the wall, tall and straight, with an exceptionally handsome appearance that made him seem very reliable.

Zhong Liyu: "Therefore, I have decided to nominate Si Yan, the future leader of humanity, as the next base chief of this base—"

"I have objections!"
