Dr. Meng Ji's spaceship had landed not long ago, and he immediately rushed over with his research team without stopping for breath. Chen Gu took this opportunity to call Aviloya. "Number 21 has come looking for me," he said.
"It's not safe to talk over the phone. Come here," she replied.
Chen Gu wasn't trying to "act important." He was genuinely worried that Number 21 might have tampered with him somehow and didn't dare to wander far from the spaceport.
The spaceport area had already been sealed off.
Dr. Meng Ji personally conducted a thorough examination of Chen Gu but found nothing.
Aviloya had arrived. With a stern face, she said, "Repeat everything to me, word for word, without adding any of your personal emotions or judgments."
"Okay." Chen Gu immediately recounted the event in detail. Is Number 21 truly trying to turn an enemy into a friend? he wondered. Are they even hoping to pull me into the Digital Group? Or is this merely a crude trick to sow discord?
