"yes."

"yes……"

"yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shuang turned around and said, "Go and hand over everyone."

"yes."

Half an hour later.

Seeing the dissatisfied expressions of his subordinates, Chen Shuang cleared his throat and said, "I know you are not happy, but this is an arrangement of the organization. You are all soldiers, and as soldiers you must obey orders."

Everyone stopped talking after hearing this.

"Okay, very good. Let's go back and hand over the work. Come back and report to me tomorrow."

"yes."

"Well, let's break up."

…

After a while, Chen Shuang went directly to Qingshui Masato's residence.

During this period of time, Chen Shuang and Masato Shimizu had become real friends through Natsume's affairs. The two basically talked about everything and even lived under the same roof most of the time.

"Has he been painting this lately?" Chen Shuang asked Masato as he picked up the strange flowers and trees that Natsume had recently painted.

Masato just had a phone call with Shimizu, and judging from her expression, it should be good news.

"Yes, the doctor said that his mental state is much better, but his heart is still in an extremely closed state, and he is still unable to talk and laugh with his friends like he used to."

Chen Shuang put down the painting and looked back out the window. Natsume was sitting on the balcony with a pen in his hand, but the drawing board was empty.

"Then can he understand what we are saying now?"

Masato nodded, "Yes, I understand, but I just ignore them."

"Huh? Then... how long has he been sitting on the balcony like this?"

"It's been a few hours." Masato came out of the kitchen, holding two plates of fruit in his hands.

One plate was placed on the coffee table, the other was brought to the balcony and placed next to Natsume.

"Natsume, is there nothing to draw today?" Masato came closer and made sure there was nothing on the canvas.

After hearing this, Natsume turned to look at Masato. He didn't speak and his eyes were slightly dull.

Masato looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to hold his face and said, "It's nothing, you can continue, I won't disturb you."

Natsume nodded, then continued to stare at the empty canvas in a daze.

Chen Shuang followed him to the balcony, leaned against the door frame and looked at Natsume's back, feeling very uncomfortable.

What a handsome young man, I don’t know what kind of torture he suffered... to become like this...

"My brother said that the matter in the Wangye Ecological Zone has been settled. The Qingshui family has proven their innocence. After a while, they will be able to accept the management of major shelters again."

Chen Shuang came to his senses after hearing this, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Well, that's good, I can finally shut up those gossips."

"Hey...yes, but I don't really care about those who gossip. After all, it's useless to block their mouths..."

Chen Shuang heard this and asked, "Then what concerns you more?"

"My grandfather's whereabouts are what I care about most."

Chen Shuang was shocked, but she said nothing.

Things related to Shunichi Shimizu are taboo within the system, and even Chen Shuang is not sure where this respected old man went after his lair as the "Warrior of the Nation" was removed.

The only thing that is clear at present is that during the time when Shunichi Shimizu was abducted by the "Warriors of the Nation", he personally participated in assisting the "Warriors of the Nation" to reproduce many key technologies of "Mimic Crystal".

It was this incident that almost earned the Shimizu family the reputation of being traitors to humanity.

Fortunately, evidence later emerged to prove that Shunichi Shimizu had suffered inhumane abuse before assisting the "Warrior of the Country", and this changed the overall nature of the incident.

But in any case, allowing these "warriors of the country" and other fanatics to obtain the most cutting-edge "mimetic crystallization" technology currently available to mankind is almost equivalent to allowing a major drug lord to obtain a nuclear bomb launcher. Therefore... even if the Qingshui family goes through several rounds of

The three parties intervened in the investigation and proved their innocence, but Shunichi Shimizu's incident still plunged the entire human society into numerous crises.

In addition, the subsequent clean-up operation initiated by the First Central Axis and carried out jointly by multinational armed forces failed to successfully rescue Shunichi Shimizu, and the disappearance of this old man has caused even more concern.

"I believe in Mr. Shimizu Shunichi's character. Even if he had no choice but to let those lunatics obtain key technologies, there is still a big difference between having the technology and being able to complete production. So... Masato, you don't have to be too aggressive.

Worry, your grandpa will be fine." Chen Shuang comforted him.

After hearing this, Masato shook his head slightly and said, "No, Sister Shuang, you don't understand my grandfather. What I'm worried about now is not his safety at all, but that he will risk everything for the sake of research, which will eventually lead to an irreversible disaster."

Disaster."

Chen Shuang was stunned when he heard this: "I really don't know much about Mr. Shimizu Junichi? Can you tell me about it?"

Masato recalled for a while and said, "My grandfather is the third son of my great-grandfather. According to family rules, he does not have to take on family affairs. Therefore, since he was very young, my grandfather has been a carefree prodigal. In addition, he is extremely talented.

, so I achieved great achievements at a very young age.”

Chen Shuang heard it very authentically, but she knew all this.

When he was young, Shunichi Shimizu could be said to be the best among people, and he could definitely be called one of the most outstanding talents in the world!

Not only did he complete the courses from elementary school to Daxue in just seven years, he also independently completed the simulation and generation of the Yizi superstring structure at the age of thirteen by virtue of his superb talent in the field of polymer applications. This alone

He immediately became a leader in the scientific community. Major media hailed Shunichi Shimizu as the brightest scientific star of this century.

However, only three years later, this new star fell under the eyes of the world...

When he was sixteen years old, Shunichi Shimizu killed three innocent passers-by in downtown New York while driving under the influence of drugs. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Seeing that Shimizu Shunichi's life was about to be ruined by his own hands, the old man of the Shimizu family, Shimizu An, also the great-grandfather of Shimizu Masato, used 1.32 billion new American dollars to pay the bail, so that Shimizu could be released.

Junichi walked out of prison.

But for the next twenty years, Shunichi Shimizu had to wear a special bracelet every day, and his activities were limited to New York City and its surrounding suburbs.

In the past twenty years, Shimizu Junichi changed his youthful frivolity and spent all day with books. At the age of forty, on the day he took off the imprisonment bracelet, he published four scientific papers in succession, including

A large number of scientific achievements were completed independently by him.

In particular, the discussion on the structure and reality of polymeric mimic materials has shocked the entire scientific community.

That year, Shimizu Shunichi was thirty-seven years old, and his son, Shimizu Masato's father, Shimizu Yoshi, was just sixteen years old.

Although it was a team of Chinese scientists who later took the lead in realizing the synthesis of polymer mimetic substances, Shunichi Shimizu's position in the scientific community was also consolidated.

…

"Actually... Even if no one came forward to prove my grandfather's innocence later, everyone knew that he could not take drugs, let alone drive under the influence... Grandpa also knew that it was revenge among the consortium, but he did not expect that there would be revenge.

My grandfather..." Qingshui Masato smiled after finishing speaking.

After listening quietly, Chen Shuang asked, "I know more or less about these, so... I'm more curious, why did you just say you were worried that your grandfather would risk everything for research?"

Masato was silent for a while and then replied, "When my father was born, my grandma had a difficult delivery. Logically speaking, as a husband, my grandpa should stay by her side... But then I heard from my dad... Grandpa at that time

While doing research, he found a breakthrough for the problem that had always puzzled him, so he forgot about it...so much so that when my grandma passed away due to dystocia, he didn't even come to see her."

After hearing this, Chen Shuang understood what Yaren meant.

"So...Sister Shuang, can I ask you a favor?"

"Um?"

"If...I mean if my grandfather really helped those 'warriors of the country' unintentionally and helped the evildoers...please...don't bear any grudge against him, okay?"

Chen Shuang was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Yaren, it won't be that bad."

Masato said nothing, she turned to look at Natsume.

Natsume, who had been staring blankly at the canvas for several hours without moving a pen, began to paint.

He first drew a circle, a very perfect circle.

Chen Shuang's eyes lit up when she noticed the round shape. She was surprised by Natsume's painting skills, and even more curious about what Natsume wanted to draw.

Just when she was about to take a closer look, Natsume suddenly put down his pen, turned around and said to Masato, "I'm hungry."

Masato was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Well, I'll make something for you to eat."

"Yes." Natsume nodded, stood up and followed Masato into the house, looking like a child.

Chen Shuang was a little disappointed, but she was quite relieved to see that Natsume was getting better day by day.

…

It was already past 11pm when I returned to my residence from Masato.

Chen Shuang turned on the light in the room and found a man sitting in the room.

He turned his back to Chen Shuang, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged, as if he was meditating.

Chen Shuang frowned, took off his coat and asked, "How did you find this place?"

"accidental."
