Chapter 1996 One plays the good cop, one plays the bad cop
Upon receiving Daigo Madoka's report, Soichiro Sawai and Megumi Iruma immediately sprang into action and would soon arrive at the ward where Gu Chen and the others were staying.
After Daigo Madoka finished his report, Gu Chen turned to Saki and said, "I'm very sorry, Ms. Saki, I apologize for my behavior just now."
Saki was clearly taken aback: "Huh?"
Gu Chen explained, "I can see that you, Ms. Saki, are very wary of us humans, which is why I had to resort to this tactic. I just hope that we can have an open and honest conversation to avoid unnecessary conflict."
Saki was even more stunned: "Huh?"
Seeing this, Gu Chen didn't say anything more. He just turned to Daigo Madoka and Mayumi Shinjo and said, "Daigo, Mayumi, I'll leave Ms. Saki in your care for now. I'll go outside to greet the director and the others."
After saying that, Gu Chen left the ward before Daigo Madoka and Mayumi Shinjo could react, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.
After a brief silence, Saki spoke first: "That...that person..."
Upon hearing this, Daigo Madoka immediately said, "Ms. Saki, he is an advisor to our GUTS team and also the director of the Monster Bureau."
"By the way, do you know the Monster Bureau? Its full name is the Monster Coexistence Project Coordination and Planning Bureau. I remember the TPC News Bureau issued a press release about it."
As soon as Saki opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to inquire about Gu Chen's situation, Daigo immediately launched into a long and detailed account of Gu Chen's glorious deeds.
Of course, he only picked what he could say, and he knew very well what he should and shouldn't say.
Seeing this, Mayumi Shinjo immediately perked up her ears to listen to Daigo Madoka's account of Gu Chen's situation.
Compared to the gossip that ordinary staff members at the base were making up, the gossip told by Yuan Dagu, who worked in the same department as Gu Chen, was more real and reliable.
Gu Chen, standing outside the ward, paid no attention to the conversation taking place inside, simply waiting quietly for Sawai Soichiro and the others to arrive.
Soon, a series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.
Looking up, one could see a large group of people heading straight for Gu Chen's ward.
Leading the way were none other than the three giants of TPC.
Upon seeing this, Gu Chen raised an eyebrow.
This is quite a large-scale operation. Don't they know the ward can't hold that many people?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying, "Director Yoshioka, what brings you here?"
Tetsuji Yoshioka was taken aback, clearly not expecting Gu Chen to start with these words, making him feel as if he shouldn't have come here.
After regaining his senses, Tetsuji Yoshioka said, "What, can't I come?"
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Hehe, actually, Director Yoshioka really didn't need to come. The ward is only so big. The director and the intermediary team leader are enough. Did you consider the size of the ward when you all came?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the GUTS team, who were following the three giants, couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
However, Nanbara Masayuki, unusually, spoke up for Yoshioka Tetsuji: "Director Gu, you are mistaken. After all, they are aliens. We should be cautious. If there are too few people, what will happen to the director's safety if something goes wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Tetsuji Yoshioka's expression softened slightly, but he would still confront Masayuki Nanbara in the future.
Hearing Nan Yuanzheng's words, Gu Chen smiled and said, "Nan Yuanzheng, do you like the necklaces I gave you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Daigo Madoka demonstrated the power of the Necklace of Light to them, proving that as long as they wore the Necklace of Light, there was really nothing that could threaten their group.
Thinking of this, Tetsuji Yoshioka and Masayuki Nanbara couldn't help but blush, but their years of professional experience made it impossible for them to show anything on the surface.
Sawai Soichiro finally spoke up, saying, "We forgot about that. Well then, Yoshioka, Nanbara, and everyone from the GUTS team, you can go back first. The advisor and Captain Gijon are enough here."
Upon hearing this, what could Tetsuji Yoshioka and Masayuki Nanbara say? They immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Director."
After all, even if they were to shamelessly stay here, they couldn't possibly squeeze a large group of people into a small hospital room.
After everyone else left, only Sawai Soichiro and Iruma Megumi remained outside the ward.
At this moment, Gu Chen continued, "Director, the alien we encountered this time was not a vicious invader, but a very pitiful homeless wanderer."
When talking to Sakai Soichiro, you don't need to be too explicit. Just say this one sentence, and Sakai Soichiro will know what to do next.
Seeing this, Gu Chen opened the ward door and led Sawai Soichiro and Izumi Megumi into the ward.
Now there were six people in the ward, and the space suddenly became cramped.
Upon seeing Sawai Soichiro and the others arrive, Madoka Daigo, who was telling Saki and Shinjo Mayumi about Gu Chen's glorious deeds, immediately shut his mouth and stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Director, Captain, you've arrived."
Sawai Soichiro nodded, first patted Daigo Madoka on the shoulder, then came to the bedside with a kind smile and said to Saki, "Ms. Saki, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Sawai Soichiro, the director of TPC."
As he spoke, Sawai Soichiro extended his hand to Saki as a gesture of goodwill.
Saki had seen this old man on television many times before, and could say she had watched Soichiro Sawai rise from the UN Secretary-General to the TPC Director and develop the TPC into what it is today.
Looking at the somewhat timid Saki, Sawai Soichiro continued, "Miss Saki, don't be afraid. I assure you, we will not harm you. All the violent acts of the past are being rejected by us humans."
"Our mission at TPC is to guide all of humanity into an era of complete peace, thereby eliminating all unnecessary violence and conflict."
"So please believe in us and give humanity a chance, a chance for the universe to know that we are a peace-loving, intelligent race."
Perhaps it was Sawai Soichiro's skillful persuasion, or perhaps it was his sincere tone, but Saki actually let down her guard and reached out to shake hands with him.
Seeing this, Sawai Soichiro's smile widened, which also signified the beginning of friendly exchanges between the two sides.
