The Venetian Resort Hotel.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ye Cheng sat on the leather sofa in the presidential suite with a gloomy face.

Although he declined Scarlett's clumsy honey trap, Ye Cheng still couldn't figure out what would happen tomorrow.

If we infer according to common sense.

At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, he will meet Qin Wenjing to begin negotiating the compensation for the Jiangcheng apartment building collapse case and how to bring Qinghe back to China.

Qin Wenjing must put forward certain conditions to achieve his or Area 51's ultimate goal.

There was no way. Qinghe was in the other party's hands and Ye Cheng could not take any action as he was unable to guarantee her safety.

Only if he could bring Qinghe back to his side, he might be able to achieve great things.

Can……

All of this is based on common sense.

Ye Cheng absolutely did not believe that Qin Wenjing went through so much trouble to get him to Las Vegas just for negotiations?

impossible!

Jingle Bell……

The phone next to him rang, and Ye Cheng picked it up with a frown.

"Hello? Lao Fu, what's wrong?"

"We're here! Are you here, Ye Cheng?"

The voice of Lao Fu from the National Security Bureau came over the phone.

"I checked the phone location. You have been motionless for an hour. Are you staying at... the Venetian Resort Hotel in Las Vegas? About the 20th floor... Sorry, our domestic positioning system cannot achieve a vertical accuracy of less than three meters."

"Yes, on the 20th floor, see Qin Wenjing tomorrow at o'clock."

Ye Cheng replied calmly, understanding that Lao Fu called because he was worried about his situation.

"Huh... OK, OK!"

Old Fu really breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relieved.

"Ye Cheng, by eight o'clock tomorrow... they will be able to get there and give you a hand. But because of the agreement between the two parties, they cannot carry any lethal weapons in the city. You decide how to arrange them..."

"...Also, be careful. So far, our national security team has not figured out how Qin Wenjing arranged it."

"You...ah...keep in touch with me anytime..."

After saying this, Old Fu briefly mentioned to Ye Cheng the matter of Eagle Sauce launching a starship.

As for the big boss's decisions, including manned moon landing in one month and achieving fully controlled nuclear fusion in three months, he could not be told.

Although the phone in Ye Cheng's hand has been specially processed and encrypted, no one can guarantee 100% that it will not be monitored.

Everything can only be discussed after Ye Cheng returns to China.

"Oh, right! Ye Cheng, the boss said that no matter what, you have to find a way to bring Qing He back tomorrow, and you... have to come back too."

Old Fu paused and said, "Even if... we return that thing to them, it's not impossible to negotiate. So, do you understand what's going on?"

Ye Cheng smiled faintly and did not respond. He understood that this was undoubtedly the country's support from behind.

But do I need such support?

Do not!

Let’s not talk about Qinghe’s affairs, nor about the national level.

Even if we simply agree to Mr. Li Xin's request, the [Escape Pod] will never be returned to them.

Otherwise, wouldn't Li Xin's hundreds of years of suffering in life have become a complete joke?

In addition, Su Qinghe must also be brought back to Longguo safely.

As for Qin Wenjing...

The final outcome was decided the moment he fled to Jiangcheng.

"Otherwise... I have nothing else to tell you. Ye Cheng, if you need any help from us, just let me know..."

As the call was about to end, Mr. Fu was still a little worried.

"help?"

Ye Cheng looked at the night scene outside the window and inexplicably felt tired and sleepy again.

His heart sank!

what happened?

Why am I so sleepy again?

He could only force himself to stay alert and whispered, "Information, Lao Fu! You know what I want!"

"I want all the information about Area 51. I want their personnel configuration, organizational structure, firepower equipment, and I want to know who is currently in charge... ah... I know nothing about these..."

As Ye Cheng was speaking, he couldn't help but yawn on the phone.

This yawn made Ye Cheng more alert.

Why...

I am so sleepy!

Ye Cheng quickly stood up holding the phone, opened the window of the suite and turned off the air circulation system.

The hot wind unique to Las Vegas blew into the guest room, making him feel a little more awake.

On the phone, Lao Fu didn't notice Ye Cheng's sleepiness, and responded helplessly: "There is no information, brother!"

"Area 51 is too mysterious. Not only do we not have any information about it, I believe that no country in the world has any information about it!"

"Even the White Palace and the Forbole General Administration don't have that kind of thing."

"From its inception, Area 51 has been, like the Vatican, a state within a state within the territory of the United States."

"It is completely autonomous and there is no legal provision that can constrain it."

"All I know is that every year they recruit high-tech talents from around the world to work in Area 51. We once wanted to plant someone there, but they seemed to have a unique ability to identify us. After failing several times and sacrificing several people, they no longer dared to act rashly."

"Oh right! A few years ago, intelligence personnel found some groundless news that the relationship between Bell Labs in California and Area 51 was unusual."

"Bell Labs?"

Relevant information about this laboratory suddenly appeared in Ye Cheng's mind.

You should know that there are a total of twenty relatively famous laboratories in the world.

For example, Los Alamos National Laboratory, European Center for Nuclear Research, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, French Center for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Research, and Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc.

These laboratories lead the technological development of the entire Blue Planet and are always at the forefront of science and technology.

If they were ranked, Bell Labs would definitely be among the top six.

It has produced eight Nobel Prizes, seven in physics and one in chemistry.

In addition, it is also world-renowned in the fields of transistors, lasers, particle colliders, etc.

It can be said that a large part of the scientific and technological inventions of the last century are inseparable from this laboratory.

However, with the development of the times, it has been overtaken by other laboratories in recent years and its reputation is no longer as good as before.

But a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and Bell Labs is still one of the top laboratories in physics and chemistry.

Is it...

Is it a subsidiary of Area 51?

But why didn't Area 51 choose the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which studies nuclear energy, or the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which studies radiation electronics, as its subordinate?

Instead, why did they choose Bell, an experimental institution that researched telephones, transistors, and lasers?

Maybe, it’s because the first two are directly under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Energy?

Ye Cheng couldn't figure it out, but he kept this information in mind.

"Anything else?"

"There's really no other information! Brother."

Old Fu smiled bitterly and felt a little embarrassed.

In ancient times, generals who went on expeditions could at least take with them a marching map so they could fully understand the enemy's strength and equipment.

But what about Ye Cheng...

He really ran to the Eagle Sauce with nothing in his hands.

"and many more!"

Just when Ye Cheng was about to end the call, Lao Fu shouted again on the phone.

"And... there is another piece of news, but it was brought back by our intelligence personnel from Nasari. I don't know if it will be useful to you."

"Just a few hours ago, an old man of unknown origin suddenly came to Nasa."

"elder?"

Ye Cheng's heart moved.

"Yes! That's right. The other party is a stranger and has never appeared in Nasa. So he was noticed by our people as soon as he arrived."

"I have a not-so-clear photo here. I'll take a picture of him and transfer it to your phone. See if it helps."

After saying that, the two ended the call completely.

A few seconds later, Ye Cheng received the photos sent by Lao Fu.

"Hiss...this is..."

Ye Cheng looked at the photos on his phone and his pupils shrank.

But I saw an octogenarian slowly walking down the plane and getting into a car.

The person who took the photo obviously did not have a high status in Nasa, and he took a huge risk and only dared to take a photo of the other person's silhouette.

Despite this, the old man turned his head at the right time and smiled at the person taking the photo.

Ye Cheng felt his hair stand on end just by looking at the photo.

Looks so familiar!

Like Cheng Jun, he felt that this person looked extremely familiar the first time he saw him.

Similarly, the next second, Ye Cheng decisively took out a hundred-yuan bill, looked at the bald old man on it, and then carefully compared it with the photo...

He was deep in thought.

I sat there in deep thought until dawn.

It’s getting light!

When the time came to 7:30 the next morning.

There was a noise at the door. Ye Cheng shook his head which was already numb, and then he realized that it was already dawn.

He looked towards the door, and saw Scarlett, a mid-level researcher at Area 51, pushing the door open with a smile on her face.

"Scarlett..."

"Is it time to set off?"

Ye Cheng slowly stood up and greeted the other party.

Scarlett pushed open the door of the guest room completely and nodded to Ye Cheng with a smile.

"Yes! Mr. Ye, it's time for you to...set off!"

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, and a cold light flashed in her hand.

Ye Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he caught a glimpse of what was in her hand.

This is……

Kang!

A dull sound suddenly exploded in the room.

Gunshots were fired.

Ye Cheng's whole body shook violently, and a large amount of blood instantly gushed out of his chest.

He lowered his head and couldn't help but yelling angrily.

"Scarlett! Are you crazy?"
