Chapter 538: Saving Mubai

"...I鈥檓 not sure, but he should be or else he wouldn鈥檛 have designed the memory cells."
"Where is he?" Xinghe asked again.
Xia Meng shook her head. "This I really don鈥檛 know; he left a long time ago leaving no messages where he was going."
"You know about Project Galaxy, right?"
Xia Meng nodded. "I do, you know about it, too, right?"
"That doesn鈥檛 concern you. How much do you know about it?"
"I鈥檝e told you everything I know. The only thing I can remember was that my father said he had to leave because of this Project Galaxy. He then left me those two things, telling me to keep good care of them and not hand them over to anyone."
This was similar to what Xinghe鈥檚 mother told her when she left. It looked like Xia Meng really didn鈥檛 know any more than that.
"Is there any way to find your father?"
"I wish there was, but there isn鈥檛. If there was, I would have left to find him a long time ago," After a long pause, Xia Meng asked hesitantly, "Xinghe, how is Mr. Xi doing?"
Mubai鈥檚 current state couldn鈥檛 be hidden forever. However, for now, the world only knew that he went overseas for treatment and nothing more than that.
"Sorry for disturbing you today. I still have something else to take care of, goodbye."
Xinghe didn鈥檛 answer her question but stood up and left.
...
Those who knew about Project Galaxy were only a handful: Xia Meng, Ee Chen, Ruobing, Ye Shen, Xinghe, and IV Syndicate.
Xia Meng knew little to nothing, much less Ruobing. Ye Shen was dead and Ee Chen had disappeared. So, the only person Xinghe could rely on was the boss of IV Syndicate.
Her only lead for that was Saohuang. Xinghe not only needed to focus on her revenge but also figure out Project Galaxy because it would lead her to Xia Meng鈥檚 father. She hoped that he could save Mubai. Xinghe knew that chances of her succeeding were slim, but she would not give up on it.
Soon, Xinghe arrived at the detention center. This period had been extremely harsh on Saohuang. His original crime was already big, but now, the bomb case was also pinned on him.
His daily schedule included interrogation, interrogation, and more interrogation. He groaned audibly whenever the guards came into his cell. He was so tired of interrogations that he felt like vomiting whenever he entered that interrogation room.
He thought it would be another grueling session, so he sighed in relief when he saw it was Xinghe. "I thought I鈥檇 lost all kindness towards human beings, but I realize I might still cherish human relationship when I see you."
Xinghe realized the huge change in Saohuang when he said so. Previously, he used to be intensely arrogant and unfeeling like he was above everyone else, but now he had mellowed out. He鈥檇 lost the arrogance and had gained an unhurried attitude to life.
Xinghe didn鈥檛 waste time greeting him since they were still enemies. She told him directly, "I鈥檓 here because I have to ask you something."
"Stop!" Saohuang raised his hands to stop her. "I鈥檝e said like a million times the bomb is not my doing, I have nothing to do with what happened to you. If that鈥檚 what you鈥檙e here for, I have nothing other than that to say."
