Jiang Baimian’s gaze was fixed on Xenny’s face, wanting to see if she was joking. After all, if the two parties became trustworthy companions, comrades who had risked their lives together, and members of the same small organization, it was completely possible for them to prank and joke with each other.
Xenny had a solemn expression. Be it the corners of her eyes or her mouth, there was no hint of a smile.
She seemed to sincerely worship the Kalendaria, Arbiter of Fate, from the bottom of her heart.
Little Red and Little White’s dream was real… Although the information that the other faction sent us has certain errors, there’s essentially no problem… Minister Xenny is indeed a believer of the Arbiter of Fate, but she doesn’t belong to the Life Ritual parish… Mei Shou’on should be the same. Jiang Baimian’s thoughts raced as she forced herself to calm down.
Shang Jianyao’s expression didn’t change. Nobody knew if he had switched personalities.
He then curiously asked, “Minister Xenny, which Church are you from?”
“I’m not part of one.” Xenny smiled and shook her head. “Faith in the Arbiter of Fate doesn’t need a Church.”
Shang Jianyao pressed, “Then, who made you start believing in the Kalendaria, Arbiter of Fate?”
Xenny picked up the sky-blue porcelain teacup and took a sip. “Director Su.”
As expected. Although Jiang Baimian had a guess, her heart palpitated when she heard this answer.
The company had a very serious problem! A board member was a secret believer of a Kalendaria!
“Oh, oh.” Shang Jianyao came to a realization. “Apart from Director Su, do the other directors also believe in the Arbiter of Fate?”
“I’m not sure.” Xenny shook her head slightly.
Shang Jianyao then asked, “Then, what do you think of the Life Ritual parish?”
Xenny replied seriously, “They act too wantonly. I can understand their reverence for the Arbiter of Fate, but their actions were too out of line. Just like you said, they likely took a wrong path and misread the scriptures.”
Uh, it’s not that extreme. There’s still room for salvation… Jiang Baimian began to think about what to do next.
Shang Jianyao’s Thought Implantation could exist for extended periods as long as there weren’t any counterexamples or opportunities. However, it was impossible for the two of them to always follow Xenny, pay close attention to the information she received, and correct her in time.
Therefore, after the two of them left Xenny, how long would it take for her to escape the influence and discover the problem? It would be completely uncontrollable. If one was lucky, Xenny would go about her days as usual for the next few days without finding anything abnormal. If they were unlucky, Su Yu could suddenly call Xenny to discuss something—that would jolt her awake.
Due to this reason, Jiang Baimian felt that she and Shang Jianyao had to seize the opportunity to do something.
In a split second, she came up with two plans.
The first was to use Xenny’s computer and account to send this matter to all the directors in the form of an email without knowing who else was problematic on the board of directors.
The second was to think of a way to meet Big Boss at the bottom level and report this matter.
For the sake of caution, Jiang Baimian decided to carry out two plans concurrently
With Xenny temporarily in cahoots with the two of them, they could use the safe passage there to head to the lowest floor after obtaining permission to enter the management floor. At the same time, scheduling the email at a later time prevented the problematic directors from knowing that something had happened in advance and sending people to intercept the two of them at the entrance to the lowest level.
If she seized the opportunity well, sending the mass email would cause chaos. Jiang Baimian felt that it would be much easier for her and Shang Jianyao to enter the lowest levels.
Time waited for no one. Jiang Baimian acted on her thoughts.
She smiled at Xenny. “Minister, can I use your computer?”
“Sure.” Xenny didn’t think there was a problem.
Upon seeing Jiang Baimian walk to Xenny’s desk, Shang Jianyao jumped up. “I’ll help!”
He came to Jiang Baimian’s side and occupied the area, preventing Xenny from coming over to check on the situation.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Jiang Baimian quickly typed and wrote her plan in a document so that Shang Jianyao could see it.
“Yes, yes.” Shang Jianyao nodded repeatedly with an expression of admiration.
Jiang Baimian—who didn’t know who he was acting as—deleted the plan she had just written down. She then began describing how Xenny and Su Yu were believers of Arbiter of Fate, and how Mei Shou’an was suspected of being a believer.
After that, she opened the email program, which logged into Xenny’s account by default. Following this, she created a new email with all the board directors in the send list.
After copying and pasting the content, Jiang Baimian chose to schedule to have this email sent 15 minutes later.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao had already followed the plan and further convinced Xenny not to touch the computer for half an hour and to give them permission to head to the Management Zone—the fifth floor of the underground building-and secretly seek an audience with Director Su.
Although Xenny’s office was on the 646th floor, she often had to go to the fifth floor for meetings. Furthermore, she was of sufficient rank and was Su Yu’s trusted aide. Therefore, she agreed to Shang Jianyao’s request easily. She casually found a reason and made a call to get them the corresponding permission.
After leaving her office, Jiang Baimian exhaled deeply.
She and Shang Jianyao looked at each other. Neither spoke as they walked straight to the elevator that led to the Management Zone.
On the way, Jiang Baimian habitually wanted to ask, “Do you think it’s worth it to make such a decision and take such a risk? Don’t you regret it?” However, she then remembered that Shang Jianyao was beside her. He was more radical, more adventurous, and more reckless than her.
Pangu Biology is our home. No matter what, I have to ensure its stability… Jiang Baimian said inwardly before pressing the number ‘5’ after stepping into the elevator.
As the elevator descended, Jiang Baimian—who had composed herself-laughed and said to Shang Jianyao, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Shang Jianyao looked up at the surveillance cameras in the elevator. “Some words aren’t suitable to be said in such a public place.”
“That’s very ambiguous,” Jiang Baimian scolded jokingly. She appeared very relaxed as if she were really going to the Management Zone to report about something work-specific with great familiarity.
After a while, the elevator arrived at the fifth floor. The elevator’s two doors opened at the same time.
After Shang Jianyao walked out, he flipped his wrist and looked at his watch. “Gosh, we’re early! We can only wait in the corridor.”
At the elevator exit, guards in bionic artificial intelligence armor looked over at the same time.
Although she couldn’t see their expressions, Jiang Baimian could vaguely sense their resistance.
