There are too many uncontrollable places in the future of a family, the future of a family, and the future of a country, not only because the torrent of history cannot be stopped, but also whether the willpower of individuals can go against the current and subvert the general trend.

Under the butterfly effect, no one dares to claim that they are in control.

There will be uncontrollable risks on any road, but as the most outstanding young man of the Chu family, Chu Jian has the responsibility and obligation to lead the family through this difficulty.

Chu Jian felt a huge depression, she left without eating, and her intuition told her that this would be the biggest crisis the Chu family had faced in these thousands of years.

Walking out of the door of the hotel, the Chu family activated the Chu family's highest red alert through communication equipment.

In the Chu family, once faced with a major problem, a very small number of people in the Chu family have the authority to activate the highest red alert to convene a family meeting, and Chu Jian is one of the extremely few people.

There is no need to question Chu Jian's status in the Chu family.

In the more than 1,000 years of the Chu family's history, there have been a total of two times when the highest red alert of the family has been activated, the first time was when the Earth Age entered the interstellar age; The second time was when the human interstellar federal government was formed.

The first two red alerts were activated, allowing the Chu family to make the right decision, and also allowing the incense of this family to last for more than a thousand years, and now, this is the third time that the highest red alert has been activated.

Half an hour later, all the core figures of the Chu family had already rushed to the conference room in a secret base of the Chu family.

When Chu Jian arrived, the core members of the family had reached more than ninety percent.

The so-called ninety percent, that is, seventeen people, plus Chu Jian, is only eighteen people.

There is one more person who has not yet arrived - the patriarch.

The patriarch of the Chu family is Chu Gao, and Chu Gao is Chu Jian's grandfather.

There was a quiet silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were looking at Chu Jian. In this small conference room, Chu Jian is the only woman and the youngest.

No one spoke, and no one asked questions, because there were many things that had to be done by the patriarch before he could express his opinion, after all, he could not wait for the patriarch to come and say it again. Of course, after this kind of red alert is activated, it means that the difficulties encountered by the Chu family must be discussed on the table, and this provision is to avoid internal strife caused by gangs within the Chu family.

Finally, Chu Gao appeared with the support of the two young people, and when they arrived at the door, Chu Gao motioned for the two young people to leave.

At this time, everyone got up one after another.

Chu Gao is ninety-seven years old, but his figure is still tough, majestic and tall, with thick white eyebrows, and his wrinkled face is not angry and arrogant.

"Grandpa." Chu Jian hurriedly walked to Chu Gao's side and helped him sit in the first seat.

Chu Gao gently patted the back of Chu Jian's hand, and his originally serious face immediately became doting, he liked this granddaughter, not only was she beautiful, but she was also a well-known scientist in the five star fields, which made him feel proud.

A middle-aged and elderly man returned to his seat a little embarrassed, because he went to help Chu Gao at the same time as Chu Jian, but Chu Gao didn't even look at him.

This middle-aged and elderly man is Chu Gao's eldest son Chu Changhe, he is sixty-nine years old, he has always coveted the position of the patriarch of the Chu clan, but although Chu Gao is old, he is healthy, can eat and drink, and has a quick mind, and his reputation in the family is extremely high, and no one can shake his status, so Chu Changhe can only think about it.

Chu Gao has three sons, the eldest son Chu Changhe, the second Chu Changshan, and the youngest son Chu Changyun, and Chu Jian is Chu Changyun's daughter.

In addition to the three direct sons and descendants of the Chu family, there are hundreds of people in the Chu family's side lineage, many of whom are higher in rank than the patriarch. It is worth mentioning here that the Chu family has no direct lineage, the position of the patriarch is occupied by the capable, and the previous patriarch of Chu Gao is not his father.

The first family rule of the Chu family is that the patriarch is not allowed to designate a successor, and the next patriarch must be born through voting.

At present, the Chu family's family rules have been running for more than a thousand years, and in general, there have been no major mistakes, which has also allowed the Chu family to stand tall in the five star fields for thousands of years......

……

After everyone exchanged a few words, Chu Gao motioned for Chu Jian to speak.

"Dear elders, I have received a very important piece of information, in about a week, a large-scale wave of ironclad cockroaches will break out on Ronnie Star." Chu Jian went straight to the point.

No one spoke, but they were all unimpressed.

Like all the residents of Ronnie Star, the people of the Chu family have also become accustomed to the continuous harassment of the ironclad cockroach, in their opinion, although the ironclad cockroach has caused a certain loss to Ronnie Star, it is far from enough to shake the strong foundation of the Ronnie Empire, after all, Ronnie Stark is the capital star of the Ronnie Empire, except for government agencies, the royal family members of the Ronnie Empire basically live on this planet, it is no exaggeration to say that the current Ronnie Star is impregnable and indestructible.

"Where did you get this information?" Chu Gao frowned and looked at Chu Jian.

"The first bandit in the interstellar world, Zhou Sen, provides ......"

"Chu Jian!" Chu Changyun suddenly interrupted Chu Jian.

"Ah......" Chu Jian looked dazed, she could see that her father's eyes were preventing her from continuing.

"Do you believe the information provided by a robber?" The kind smile on Chu Gao's face disappeared and became extremely cold.

"Grandpa......"

"I won't mention this matter for the time being, I will find someone to verify the information. Is this the purpose of activating the red alert this time? Chu Gao asked.

"Yes, Grandpa." Chu Jian said softly.

"Notes, what do you think personally?" Chu Gao seemed to realize that his attitude towards Chu Jian was too blunt, and his tone had eased a lot.

"I think it's better to believe what you have than what you don't! I suggest that the family should go all out to grab the money now, prepare to face the invasion of the ironclad cockroaches, and report to the royal family of the Ronnie Empire...... Of course, we can also choose the Chu family's complete evacuation of Ronnie Star ......"

"You're crazy!" Chu Changhe interrupted Chu Jian's words.

"Uncle ......"

"Notes, if we go all out to prepare for the ironclad cockroach now, it will inevitably shake the military spirit of the Ronnie Empire, and if everyone follows suit and compete for supplies, won't the entire Ronnie Empire fall into turmoil? Who can afford this responsibility! In addition, we reported to the royal family of the Ronnie Empire that there was an outbreak of the ironclad cockroach plague, but if it didn't break out, how would we explain it? Don't forget, you don't forget, we are just businessmen, and our ancestors warned us not to get involved in politics or get involved in royal disputes. ”

"Uncle, please answer a question from Jian'er, what if the information is true?" Chu Jian asked.

"You said just in case, we don't need to take more risks for this kind of emergency......

"Changhe, okay, don't debate for the time being, I'll ask everyone's opinions first." Chu Gao interrupted Chu Changhe's words, and his gaze swept over everyone.

"I think what Changhe said is reasonable, under the situation of uncertain intelligence, if our Chu clan takes rash action, it will inevitably cause social unrest, and at present, in order to maintain social stability, the Ronnie Empire strictly prohibits hoarding materials, and the merchants who hoard materials are punished for treason, under this kind of high pressure, any action of our Chu family will be infinitely amplified by the opponent, so we still wait and see what happens."

"I also agree with Changhe, at present, Ronnie Star is protected by the most powerful fleet of the Ronnie Empire, and the investment of ground forces is also very large, it can be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, not to mention the general ironclad cockroach disaster, even if it is an exponential ironclad cockroach invasion, we don't have to worry about the collapse of the entire society. On the contrary, our Chu family is now being targeted by all forces, and if we are detained, we will be speechless at that time. ”

“……”

To Chu Jian's surprise, not only the eldest uncle was against it, but also his father was against taking action at this time.

Suddenly, Chu Jian found that she was too idealistic before, she thought that it would be easy for everyone to unify their minds and tide over the difficulties together, but she was too naïve, everyone and her thoughts were not on the same level at all, and everyone was more worried about being suspicious of the Ronnie Empire and causing man-made disasters.

"Chu Jian, you say." Chu Gao raised his hand slightly and interrupted everyone's speech.

"If everyone does not agree with the Chu family to take substantive action, then, we can report this matter to the royal family." Chu Jian said.

"It's easy to report, just open your mouth, if the intelligence is fake, and the Ronnie Empire is completely prepared, when the time comes, what will our Chu family do? In this extraordinary period, will you be put on a big hat that shakes the morale of the army? What if you are labeled as a rebel? ”

"......" Chu Jian opened her mouth and didn't say anything after all, she understood that her persuasion plan had failed, because these uncles and uncles had never thought about how to deal with the invasion crisis of the ironclad giant cockroach at all, but put how to get along with the Ronnie Empire in the first place, and each of them was extremely cautious, for fear of being caught by the Ronnie Empire and punished by some pigtails.

Chu Jian sighed secretly, she realized that too long of a comfortable and peaceful life had made the family members lose their wolf nature, and at the same time, she had also overestimated the relationship between the Chu family and the Ronnie Empire.

Chu Jian had always thought that the relationship between the Chu clan and the Ronnie Empire was very harmonious, and through this meeting just now, she saw that the family members were walking on thin ice one by one.

Seeing the big from the small shows that the high-level of the Ronnie Empire did not take the Chu family seriously, which would lead to the Chu family's forward-looking and backward trend.

"Alright, that's it for the meeting. I will verify the authenticity of the information provided by Jian'er in the future. By the way, note, in the past thousand years, the red alarm of my Chu family has only sounded twice, and in the future, you must be cautious when sounding the red alarm! ”

"Okay, grandpa. By the way, grandpa, can I do some prep work, in case ......"

"Yes, you can use all your resources, including requesting assistance from them, and of course, you have to make it clear that your dispatch cannot exceed your authority."

"Okay, grandpa."

A trace of disappointment on Chu Jian's face was fleeting.
