Gu Lin wasn't the least bit flustered that Ji Xiaosong had seen through his plan. Instead, he declared with an air of solemn duty, "This is a matter of humanity's survival. We hope Miss Ji will lend us her full support."
Ji Xiaosong gave a light laugh. "The fact that my father contacted you was a testament to our family's sincerity in cooperating. Now that we've settled into Yongfeng Base, all we want is to live a quiet life; we have no other ambitions. Next, I need to hurry and make various preparations for my family before the apocalypse arrives. The tasks are many, and time is short. If you have nothing else of particular urgency, Mr. Gu, please don't disturb us for the time being. We can communicate again once I've reached a stopping point."
It was a blatant dismissal, and Gu Lin got the message.
"Then we'll take our leave."
He led the others away. The moment the last person was out, Ji Xiaosong shut the door.
