Chapter 285 The Worldly Cultivator Submits a Memorial to the Duke of Yansheng?
The smoke from the North American battlefield had not yet completely dissipated when the system interface, visible only to him, popped up again in Lin Yeming's mind, indicating that he had completed two missions.
An instinctive urge compelled him to extract the power immediately, for the new strength might be able to meet even greater challenges in the future.
But Lin Yeming took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed this impulse.
His gaze became incredibly firm.
"It's not the right time yet..." he murmured to himself.
The system's rewards are a bonus, a guarantee, but to truly drive the TPC of this world forward, we cannot rely solely on individual efforts.
Convincing Dr. Yaoba to accept and value the Magus power system and more advanced technological concepts is the key to fundamentally enhancing the overall strength of humanity.
Moreover, he can also benefit from it.
The Max Core provided by the system has no special effects, I don't know.
He temporarily set aside the system's prompts in a corner of his mind, as if silencing them.
The immediate priority is to meet that stubborn, brilliant scientist.
He believes that only when he successfully completes this "human" task will the extracted entries be more meaningful and better aligned with the path of the future.
The meeting with Dr. Yao was arranged in a temporary conference room at the North American TPC base.
As soon as Lin Yeming, Shinjo, Daigo, and Lina, who arrived later, sat down, Lin Yeming's PDI received an encrypted message from headquarters.
The message came from Horii, and the content of the report made his eyes narrow slightly.
The technical team led by Horii has arrived at the Asian branch and successfully completed the recovery and initial sealing of the robot monster Giga's remains.
The report was accompanied by a supplementary statement from the Director's Office: Regarding the internal management oversight in the Asian branch that led to the near-leakage of classified information and the exposure of the armor storage location, the Asian branch shall, in principle, conduct its own internal review and handling, with headquarters only providing advice and oversight.
Of course, as the direct victims of this incident, Lin Yeming and Xincheng, who nearly met with danger due to intelligence errors, have the right to object to the branch's handling of the matter and even to hold them accountable.
After reading it, Lin Yeming walked out of the conference room almost without hesitation and dialed the dedicated line of the highest intelligence officer of the Asian branch.
His tone was calm but carried an undeniable firmness: "Regarding the internal handling of this matter, I have only one requirement: all personnel involved in this matter, especially those involved in embezzlement and bribery, regardless of their background, must be severely punished! At the very least, all key positions must be immediately removed for a thorough investigation! The foundation of TPC cannot be corrupted by parasites."
"Of course, this is not the opinion of headquarters, but my personal opinion."
The head of the branch intelligence bureau on the other end of the phone was clearly feeling immense pressure.
Lin Yeming is not only a member of the headquarters' Victory Team, but also the victim and the one who contributed to this incident, so his opinion carries great weight.
Soon, the branch's preliminary investigation results were returned with the highest priority.
The result was shocking and infuriating.
Preliminary investigations indicate that there is a greater than 90% probability that the leak and security breach were caused by a powerful interest group within the branch, centered around former associates of Confucius. This deeply entrenched group used their power and connections to place people in various roles, including procurement, security, and information management, for personal gain, even at the cost of selling confidential information.
"The Kong family?" Lin Yeming was stunned when he saw these two words, and then an uncontrollable anger surged into his heart.
He suddenly remembered a joke from his past life.
"The hereditary ruler has submitted a memorial to the Duke Yansheng!"
In the original world, Confucius had already been rescued.
This world, however, still harbors lingering poison.
Fortunately, he subconsciously searched his memories and found that the Sima clan had the same ending.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't targeting the sages; on the contrary, he couldn't tolerate anyone using the guise of being a descendant of saints to do such despicable things, tarnishing the ancient cultural heritage!
His reaction was unusually intense. When he reconnected with the head of the branch intelligence bureau, his voice was icy cold: "Investigate! Investigate to the end! I don't care whose descendants they claim to be or what halos they have! TPC exists to protect the future of humanity, not as a breeding ground for them to line their own pockets and form cliques! These parasites that tarnish the name of 'Yansheng' must be completely eliminated!"
He even issued an ultimatum: "If the internal resistance within the branch prevents a complete resolution, I will immediately request the headquarters intelligence bureau to intervene directly! At that point, it will probably be much more than just dealing with a few people!"
Staff Officer Wang Jianjun, on the other end of the phone, heard his negotiations and statements throughout the entire call.
Staff Officer Wang had initially considered balancing the situation and mediating, but seeing Lin Yeming's resolute attitude and the fact that what the other party had done had indeed crossed the line and even tarnished the cultural symbol of the nation, the scales in his heart completely tipped.
Moreover, Lin Yeming's actions this time, from a public, private, emotional, and rational standpoint, fully embody procedural justice and the moral high ground.
Staff Officer Wang Jianjun no longer hesitated. He took out his secure communicator, connected to several key numbers, and spoke decisively and forcefully: "This is Wang Jianjun. Notify the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Internal Security Department to immediately establish a joint investigation team with the highest level of authorization. Based on the clues and opinions provided by Lin Yeming, conduct an indiscriminate investigation of all suspicious personnel within the Asian branch involved in the Kong family's network. Those with conclusive evidence will be immediately suspended and detained; those with strong suspicions will be transferred from their posts and placed under isolation for investigation. The action must be swift, and no matter how great the resistance, it must be carried out to the end! This is an order!"
His series of orders were like a swift knife, striking directly at the core of the deeply entrenched interest groups within the Asian branch with lightning speed.
A storm that would sweep through the branch was about to begin.
Lin Yeming had already hung up the phone. After composing himself, he pushed open the door and went inside.
Next, he needs to persuade Dr. Yao.
The five people sat down around the round table. Seeing that there was some silence in the room, Daigo took the initiative to share everything he had seen at the branch: "Before the monster appeared, we inspected and made suggestions on the Victory Hurricane at the North American branch and found no problems."
"However, Dr. Yao feels that the Hurricane is almost entirely designed for combat, unlike the Victory Swallow No. 1."
Upon hearing this, Shinjo retorted, "Monsters are appearing more and more frequently now. If we don't have weapons to fight them, we might not be able to hold out until Ultraman appears. Humanity will face a major problem due to excessive casualties!"
Lina frowned slightly. She disliked this kind of fighting rhetoric, but today's battle had such a huge impact, so she thought about it and kept quiet.
Lin Yeming waved his hand and said, "Xincheng, don't say anything that could disrupt unity."
"Dr. Yao, do you not want to continue advancing the Max propulsion system?"
