Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"I know, pharmaceutical companies also conduct illegal experiments," Zhang Manman said calmly, "but it's precisely because you've been tricked by them so much that I want to see what exactly they are researching."

The case of Wang Chen was still fresh in memory; the secret of a life force breaking three digits surely needed to be clarified.

If nothing else, we must reclaim the funds that Umbrella has taken from the Zhang Group, for the Zhang Group cannot just be the victimized party.

"Ah—"

Zhang Hongqing sighed, looked at Su Jie, and stared straight at Zhang Manman, "So, is he the expert you've invited over, mainly to probe the reality of the Umbrella Corporation?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Manman nodded vigorously, "He is indeed a great expert, with a life force of 49."

Zhang Hongqing gasped in hesitation.

"Isn't he your class monitor?"

"Yes,"

Zhang Manman replied, "But he's a character like the vice-principal; we must not judge him by normal standards."

Zhang Hongqing's mind was in turmoil—

How much of what Zhang Manman had said was true?

If false, then the Umbrella Corporation had already attracted Ming Lun's attention; could it involve the Zhang Group? Could it reach as far as Zhang Manman?

It should not involve his daughter, who seemed, after all, more like a guide.

However, regardless, the Su Jie before him was certainly not as simple as a freshman, definitely a high-ranking member of Ming Lun, perhaps even affiliated with special forces cooperating with the nation.

It was rumored that the military, to develop Primordial Star, cooperated with Ming Lun, truly entering Primordial Star, where various advanced pieces of equipment and weapons could also be brought in, much more controllable than the players evolving physically through the Spirit.

Perhaps, this Su Jie was indeed a member of the military.

Su Jie said, "Uncle, please rest assured, we are just going to take a look, and we won't startle any snakes." The latest chapters are always available first on MV5LEMPYR.

Zhang Hongqing sighed deeply, "I will turn myself in eventually, after all, I've funded their human experiments. Besides that, I can also provide the names of enterprises involved that I know."

Su Jie: "..."

Zhang Manman strangely watched Su Jie receiving the list from her father and the video and photo evidence transmitted to Su Jie's smartphone, then looked back at her father, who had revealed everything, and couldn't help but cough twice.

"Ahem!"

Instantly, Zhang Hongqing's eyes cleared, and his glance at Su Jie was filled with vigilance, even a trace of anger, "Is this Ming Lun's method of interrogation? Hypnosis?"

Su Jie responded, "This is my own issue, unrelated to Ming Lun..."

Afterward, Su Jie explained his situation.

Zhang Hongqing was speechless.

So, he had fallen into a mental trap and, under the extraordinary life force field of Su Jie, had voluntarily spilled everything and even passed on the evidence?

"Manman, is it right to trap your father like this?" Zhang Hongqing looked at her reproachfully.

"Don't blame me," Zhang Manman replied with a playful smile, "Whose fault is it that you strayed? I just asked Su Jie to help bring you back to the right path."

"Sigh—"

Zhang Hongqing just sighed, seeming a decade older, left a remark "Talk it out among yourselves," then left somewhat dejectedly.

Watching that somewhat forlorn figure, Zhang Manman felt a sting in her heart, but she still solidified her resolve: "I can't let my father fall too deep, indecision surely breeds chaos."

Su Jie did not join the conversation, for the actions Zhang Manman was about to take could certainly be described as sacrificing kin for righteousness.

He, an outsider, better not get involved.

On one side was kinship.

On the other was righteousness.

Ordinary people faced with such a choice are always troubled.

Luckily, Zhang Hongqing also had thoughts of breaking off cooperation with Umbrella and was open-minded and upright; otherwise, he might have had to utterly sever ties with Zhang Manman.

At 8 PM.

Su Jie followed Zhang Manman as they left the Hong Man Hotel, and a car waited outside to take them to the airport, where they met Aike.

"You two are indeed punctual,"

Aike had also pondered for a while after departing, feeling that things were going too smoothly, exactly as he had envisioned.

On reflection, wasn't this the biggest problem?

He felt as if he had been hypnotized at that moment.

Zhang Manman had a life force of 5; even as a Hypnotist, she couldn't have hypnotized him.

His mental realm might not be high, but his body, augmented genetically to a life force of 8.6, also somewhat enhanced his spirit, and an anti-hypnosis chip loaded at the back of his head could alert him to hypnosis.

Yet the chip had not warned.

So, it was extremely likely that it was the handiwork of Zhang Manman's companion.

This was definitely an incredibly powerful psychological suggestion!

"Punctuality is a virtue of us Easterners." Zhang Manman took the plane tickets Aike had prepared, handed one to Su Jie, then followed Aike Nick onto the flight to America.

To cross the seas, one must fly commercially; private planes are forbidden from crossing borders, as they could be seen as provocative, even justifiably shot down.

Nine hours later, the plane crossed mountains and seas to reach the other side of the continent.

It was still night.

With the time difference between the East and the West, one side was night, the other daytime.

When Su Jie and the others departed, it was nighttime, and after nine hours of flight, arriving at another continent, it was still night.

However, the trio's life forces were immensely strong, naturally unaffected by this slight jet lag.

Su Jie, Zhang Manman, and Aike got off the plane, boarded a waiting black sedan, passed through desolate highways, and only when the night sky brightened did they reach their destination—the Atlantic Coast.
