The Meeting of Leaders

Next morning, the leader of Huaxia Base sent his people to invite the leaders of other bases to discuss what happened last night.

The seats in the reception room were well arranged. Every Chief had an armchair, with a tea table by the side. Behind that were two armchairs, with a tea table in the middle. Those were for the relatively high-placed people under the Chiefs, such as Deputy Chiefs.

Si Kongchen sat in the host's seat as he smilingly said to the other base leaders, "I assume you have all learned what happened last night. The source of material that we used for making the antidote was stolen. We haven't even found a clue of it yet. So now, we have sealed off our base. The base will not be unsealed until we have found the source of the material. Thank you all for understanding."

The group of base leaders nodded at him knowingly, yet no one could tell what they each had been thinking.
