Jonathan's hair in front of him was a little messy, and it was obviously longer than the last time Shen Chao saw him. The blackened eye sockets were the sequelae of a long lack of sleep, and as soon as he saw Shen Chao and them, Jonathan immediately ran over.

"What's the matter, aren't you supposed to take our guests on a tour of the world?" Shen Chao asked strangely when he saw him. Text starter/text starter

They hadn't been away for long this time, and it stands to reason that Jonathan should be traveling on the other side of the world with a few replicants. What can happen?

"I've already done that, sir, but we have an emergency here...... Jonathan said in a low voice after seeing the group behind Shen Chao.

Speaking of this, Jonathan's expression relaxed a little. It looks like a relief. But judging by the way he looks, what he has to say next can only be said to the official members of the expedition.

Shen Chao saw him so nervous, and also realized that something was likely to be wrong. In order not to disturb their new arrivals, he asked Custer to settle Hargrave and them first.

He, along with Alice and Dr. Neville, stayed here to wait for Jonathan's explanation. However, Hargrave had sensed the anomaly in the air and insisted on staying and helping.

"If there's an accident, let me know that I can't be left in the dark if our partnership is going to be successful, and besides, I have a hunch that I can ......help," Hargrave said as he walked over on crutches.

Shen Chao agreed after a short period of consideration, after all, Hargrave had lived so long and had a wealth of experience in dealing with crises, if the current events were really as bad as he had guessed, then he really needed the old man's opinion.

After deciding this, Shen Chao asked Custer to arrange for Hargrave's followers to settle down first, and those people all took their luggage and followed Custer out of the crossing area after getting the old man's approval.

"Okay, now that the unrelated person is gone, what the hell is going on?" Shen Chao asked Jonathan in front of him sternly after seeing Custer leave with the others.

Combined with the few suspicions he had just discovered, he now had a rough guess of what was happening. However, he still needs Jonathan's confirmation.

"You've been missing for two weeks...... Jonathan replied after making sure everyone else was gone. His first words startled everyone, except Hargrave.

This old man didn't know much about Shen Chao's ability, so he didn't know what was abnormal about this, Shen Chao had been negotiating with him for the past two weeks, so in his opinion, this was normal.

"Two weeks? Alice was surprised first on behalf of all the others. Everyone else was surprised, and Shen Chao was no exception, although he guessed a similar possibility, Jonathan's answer still surprised him a little.

It wasn't the first time they had crossed over, so they all knew that unless the space-time gate was opened, when Shen Chao was crossing between planes, the time of the plane he wasn't in should be static.

This law is the result of many professional experiments and a lot of personal experience, just like the laws of physics, and has never been wrong until today......

"That's right, you weren't there when I contacted the base the day after I left the base at the scheduled time, so I brought all the guests back a few days early...... Jonathan gave an overview of what had happened.

It turned out that after the previous expedition began to cross, that is, the day after he left the base to arrange a tour of several replicants, he tried to report the progress to Shen Chao, who was supposed to have returned to the second base, according to the plan.

As a result, no one in the base replied to him, and all of his communication requests went into the message box, as if there was no one in the base.

Another day passed, and the situation was still like this, and no one replied to him. This situation worries him, so he ends his tour plan early and returns to the second base early with a few replicants.

After carefully returning to the base, as soon as he got off the plane, he asked the airport security planes to arrest all the replicants and "invite" them to the house assigned to them and put them under house arrest.

He wasn't sure what was going on at the base, so he chose this way to remove the only unstable factor on the island that he could observe.

Subsequently, he mobilized all the security planes on the island that he could command with security authority to conduct an island-wide search, but there was still no sign of Shen Chao.

The footage of the crossing area also showed that the other members of the expedition team had not returned since the last crossing, and he realized that something must have happened to Shen Chao, so from that time on, he stayed in the base, nervously waiting for Shen Chao and them to come back.

He also thought that Shen Chao and the others might have had some big accident, and maybe they couldn't come back or something, but if they thought about it carefully, this should be the most unlikely thing to happen, so he continued to wait.

Before Shen Chao came back, he had been waiting in the crossing area for a total of 10 days. In order to ensure that he waited for Shen Chao and them as soon as possible, he hadn't cleaned up his appearance properly for so long, so he looked so wolf.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing, 4 days ago, I arrested 2 people who tried to land on the island, they are now in the interrogation room, you might want to go and see them first......" Jonathan quickly mentioned this after explaining the "main" story.

"What's going on?" Shen Chao was vigilant when he heard this, the location of their second base was only known to very few people, and it was far away from all major shipping and air routes, so it was unlikely that someone would arrive unexpectedly.

"While waiting for you to return, I couldn't control the main defense system, so 4 days ago, when I found out that a small plane was coming, I couldn't get the air defense system to destroy the opponent's ......"

Jonathan explained what was going on, and it turned out that while he was waiting, there was an unauthorized small twin-engine jet landing on the island.

Because it is a civilian model with no weapons system, the island's defense system and the drone swarm patrolling the perimeter have identified it as a civilian target after scanning.

The security system in the base is the military version of the Starlink, so the central control system only monitored its movements after assessing the threat and sounded an alarm in the base after determining its course, but did not shoot it down or prevent it from landing.

The security plan determined by Shen Chao and Custer was the same Starlink standard, so the perimeter defense system would allow the plane to land on its own without command instructions.

This is basically all for security reasons. It was to avoid their cargo planes being knocked down by the defense system in the event of equipment failure.

However, this is not to say that Shen Chao's security plan has not changed anything, if the unauthorized plane tries to leave, the security system will immediately shoot it down, regardless of whether he is a civilian target or not.

And because of the new authority level, Jonathan couldn't use his B-level security code to cover the defense plan that Shen Chao had set up before, so he could only take a large group of armed security planes at the airport and detain the two people on the plane that had just stopped at the airport.

"Who's coming?" Does it have anything to do with the last pirate? Shen Chao asked when he heard this.

"Well, no, I've done a preliminary interview with them, and it looks like one of them is your agent, and he seems to have some urgent business that can't contact you, so he rented a plane and flew over to report it...... Jonathan explained.

It turned out that one of Shen Chao's new general agents had a job to ask him for, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't contact Shen Chao.

So in his anxiety, the agent took it upon himself to ignore the warning given by Shen Chao before, rented a plane in Australia, hired a pilot, and flew directly to the second base.

Why is it one of them? This is also because Shen Chao learned the lessons of the last pirate incident, and he personally appointed senior managers directly to several branches.

He can also be reached by these executives. Ask for instructions to expose the fraudulent behavior of colleagues...... By such means, he vacated the position of general agent and president of the group company.

The new general agent is more like a secretary general, and what he wants to do is either to ask the senior executives in each branch, or directly come to Shen Chao for approval, and then force others to cooperate.

This arrangement has turned the general agent into a chicken rib position, and there will never be a betrayal of the same strict zhòng last time.

Of course, Shen Chao also knows the disadvantages of this arrangement, he is not a professional manager, although he studied finance in college, but he has never had experience in business management.

And he doesn't know much about the current state of his business. Lacking the corresponding professional skills, such an arrangement will greatly hinder the future development of his group company. Such an arrangement is just a helpless move at this stage.

"Take me to see him......" Shen Chao said after understanding who was being arrested, and then they went to the interrogation room together.

After the last pirate incident, they set up an underground dedicated interrogation room near the Shiyàn building. So that they don't have to make ad hoc arrangements when they encounter similar problems in the future.

This interrogation room is actually a basement. It is a multi-storey reinforced concrete single-story structure, buried at a depth of 10 meters, which is equivalent to 3 floors underground.

There are a total of 12 separate cells in the interrogation basement and two ** interrogation rooms. And there is a first-class surveillance and sewer system inside......

In one of the cells, Sun Yang sat in a daze on his bed, a few days before he was managing a multinational corporation with assets close to $1 billion.

Although he is actually similar to being a puppet, his boss has been managing the company as if he is now manipulating the puppet, but he is very satisfied. Because this is the highest position he has ever sat in in his life.

The number of his relatives and friends skyrocketed overnight. Everyone has something to ask him for, and although he doesn't like those sensual flattery, he likes the feeling of being noticed.
