709: Thought Rectification

Just then, a group of heavily armed special forces soldiers rushed in from the distant corridor.

“Oh no! We’re too late!”

“Professor Ai! Are you alright?!”

“Holy cow! What… What’s going on?!”

Seeing the situation, the special forces soldiers were more shocked than the last!

Professor Ai calmly held up three fingers and said with a smile:

“Three things.”

“First, put out the fire quickly.”

“Second, report the situation here immediately.”

“Third, the assassin in the corridor is still alive; you can take him for interrogation.”

......

The entire night.

Alarms blared across the city.

All major transportation routes were sealed off.

“Announcement!”

“A major criminal case occurred in the city tonight, and the suspect is at large. Traffic control is temporarily in effect!”

“......”

......

Southwest Military Region.

“Professor Ai, one against three?!”

“And the opponents were three top international assassins, two dead and one severely injured!”

“Are you telling me this was done by a man nearing seventy?!”

Looking at the description in the urgent report, Commander Wu’s mind was somewhat disoriented.

The others were much the same.

Their hearts were frantically asking what was wrong with this world?

Unable to get an answer,

They all looked at Ren Yi, who was participating in the meeting via video.

“Leaders.”

After the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences coughed lightly, he laughed loudly:

“Regarding this matter, Comrade Ren Yi has already communicated with me specifically.”

“To prevent the disclosure of secrets, I still decided not to inform you for now.”

“Now that everyone has some understanding, I can reveal a little.”

The President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said word by word:

“This is the main reason why Comrade Ren Yi and I would rather postpone the four major plans and advance the Special New Human Project!”

“We are about to enter an era of Superman!”

Upon hearing this,

The eyes of the others flickered, their minds wondering what they were thinking.

“Leaders, no need to rush.”

In the video, Ren Yi said with a smile:

“At the fastest, half a year, at most, one year, and you will know the answer.”

Just then,

A staff member walked in quickly.

“Leaders, this is the latest progress report on the joint case from the Provincial Public Security Department and the National Security Bureau.”

After listening to the report,

The President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences slammed the table.

“The two key national industries, medical and energy, have actually rotted to such an extent?!”

The report summary showed that,

The source of this leak,

Surprisingly came from high-level officials of the Municipal Hospital and the National Energy Group!

“The many reforms caused by the new energy revolution have touched the fundamental interests of some people. I thought they might do some irrational things.”

“But I never expected that some of them would be so insane!”

“Such behavior is nothing short of treason!”

To the side,

The Southern Commander frowned deeply.

“This assassination attempt targeted Professor Ai, but it should have actually been Ren Yi!”

As soon as these words came out,

A sharp glint appeared in everyone’s eyes.

“Leaders.”

“At this critical juncture, it is time for us to turn the blade inward and scrape the bone to heal the poison!”

“Precisely so!”

“If Ren Yi had not been so resourceful and made prior arrangements, Professor Ai might have already met with misfortune!”

To the side,

The Northern Commander was fuming with rage:

“It’s truly hateful to the extreme!”

“These exquisite egoists who betray the country for glory must be killed without mercy!”

“They clearly know that foreign forces harbor an undying desire to destroy us,”

“Yet, they still act as they please, disregarding the overall development of the country!”

“For their own selfish gain, they commit crimes against the wind, which is simply unforgivable!”

“They dare to say anything and do anything!”

“Damn it, every single one of them!”

“Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned; all must be held accountable!”

The Leader who had been silent in the middle interjected.

“This ideological rectification will be handled by me!”

“The Disciplinary Inspection, Public Security, and Security departments will jointly reform and rectify these two industries!”

“......”

Everyone spoke one after another,

And quickly finalized the overall plan for the rectification operation.

“The dignity of the Chinese is not bestowed by others, but earned by ourselves!”

“Propaganda channels must exert full effort!”

“Promote from top to bottom, achieving the most thorough transformation at the ideological level!”

“......”

“After this major rectification, anyone who dares to instigate behavior in major universities, social platforms, or foreign media will be punished with an aggravated crime!”

“They will be investigated and prosecuted for treason!”

“......”

“The National Security Bureau will take the lead, collaborating with multiple departments to jointly formulate a reward policy for citizens who report clues about espionage activities!”

“For capturing spies based on clues, informants will be rewarded with 100,000 to 5 million!”

“......”

This meeting,

Started in the early morning,

And lasted for eight full hours.

Looking at everyone’s tired faces,

Ren Yi sighed inwardly.

To dedicate oneself to the rise of the motherland,

Is never an easy task!

“Comrade Ren Yi.”

After briefly reviewing the meeting minutes, the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said to Ren Yi in the video.

“Their target was actually you.”

Ren Yi nodded:

“I guessed that long ago.”

“Since that’s the case, your family members must be designated as key protection targets to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.”

“I have already made proper arrangements for that.”

… …

Jinghai City.

Municipal government residential compound.

Ren Yi’s new home.

“What?”

“Paid leave for a year?”

“Traveling across the country?”

“Military families have such benefits?”

Looking at the two familiar faces in front of her, Ren Yi’s mother was full of surprise.

“Auntie, don’t you see how much contribution Ren Yi has made to the country?”

Lin Muxue’s voice was sweet and docile.

“This little benefit is really nothing!”

Chen Zhihui, who was beside her, also said with a chuckle:

“...Uh, Chief Engineer Ren’s merits are not just as simple as a first-class commendation!”

“To avoid shortchanging the nation’s heroes, the Military Region Commander can only compensate through their family and friends!”

Ren Yi’s father hesitated:

“This… resting for so long, will people at work talk behind our backs?”

“Uncle and Auntie, you can rest assured about this; I’ve already handled all the procedures for you!”

Lin Muxue smiled faintly.

“You are all taking leave under the pretext of being seconded by a superior unit, who would dare to gossip?”

“For this nationwide trip, Captain Chen and I will accompany you throughout.”

“If Ren Yi has time, he will also come to reunite and relax with you two elders.”

Upon hearing this,

Ren Yi’s parents waved their hands repeatedly.

“Better not let him come. He’s so busy with scientific research; national affairs are more important!”

After asking a few more questions,

The two elders gradually became full of anticipation for the upcoming nationwide trip.

Having worked like oxen and horses for so many years,

They hadn’t traveled to many places!

The last time they traveled out of the province,

Was ten years ago.

“Wife, can I bring my fishing rod? When we’re out, wouldn’t it be a waste not to cast a few lines?”

“Bring your big head, bring! If you dare to fish while traveling with me, I’ll cut all your rods!”

Three days later.

Under the covert escort of a mecha special operations team,

The four set off,

And began their nationwide tour along the designated safe route.
