Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1470: Chapter 834: Find Me

“Find me.”

Li Ang agreed with Mei Zheng’s analysis results. He compared it himself for a long time and felt that Wang Su, this top researcher, indeed said these three words before he died.

But for this reason, he felt even more confused.

The words Wang Su said were clearly not self-talk but very clearly a conversation with another person. Looking back at that time, Li Ang had a strong feeling that Wang Su was saying these words directly to him.

“But how could that be possible!” Mei Zheng expressed skepticism. She believed firmly in their lip-reading expert’s research results, but this matter seemed too incredible.

“I also find it unbelievable, as I was standing right opposite Wang Su. But between him and me, there was not only a span of several minutes but also a barrier between life and death.”

Mei Zheng proposed another hypothesis: “Could there have been another person present at that time?”

This guess was quite reasonable, but Li Ang rejected it.

“Not very likely; otherwise, the review wouldn’t have missed it.”

“Then… if that’s the case, the only remaining possibility is that he was indeed talking to you.”

“Which means Wang Su might have some means to predict the future.” Li Ang analyzed.

“Although it’s still incredible, we can’t rule out this possibility. After all, it’s not only you who can rewind time to see past events; others may have some magical means to predict the future.”

“Following this line of thought, perhaps Wang Su’s suicide can be reasonably explained? He might have used future prediction means to see that his future end was more unacceptable than death, so he chose suicide.”

“That’s a reasonable guess.” Mei Zheng agreed, “But what do the words ’Find me’ mean?”

Under this question, both of them, who had been bursting with ideas, suddenly got stuck.

After a while, Mei Zheng smiled wryly and said: “I really can’t understand it.”

Li Ang exhaled deeply and suddenly proposed an idea: “Isn’t there a possibility that Wang Su isn’t dead?”

“Huh?” Mei Zheng asked full of questions, “You saw his corpse lying in front of you, and you also rewound to see the scene of his suicide, how can you conclude that he might not be dead?”

Li Ang shook his head and said: “It’s just a feeling. Wang Su is someone I’ve investigated a bit. He had the reputation of a genius from a young age, later becoming a top researcher, a senior professor at Times University, with countless achievements. When Divine Bird got the Ancient Immortal Compass and their research department couldn’t make sense of it, they turned to Wang Su for help, showing his status… someone like him, I always felt, wouldn’t easily die.”

“It’s merely a feeling, not even a speculation.”

“Yes… sigh, the issues end here. Wang Su is dead, the permissions and powers within the Ancient Immortal Compass are completely lost.”

Mei Zheng chuckled softly and comforted: “Look at the bright side; we originally aimed to prevent Divine Bird from controlling and deciphering the Sky Net permissions within the Ancient Immortal Compass. And now, the core researcher Wang Su is dead, and we don’t know where the Compass’s power went. From this angle, our goal has already been achieved, right?”

“That may be true, but I still feel uneasy.” Li Ang said, “The transfer of the Compass’s power is the scariest part. Did you notice Wang Su’s movements before he committed suicide in the recorded footage? That unobservable action might be the reason the Compass’s power vanished. It likely represents that Wang Su cracked the Compass or transferred its power. The transferred core power of the Compass represents the Sky Net’s permissions. As long as that thing remains unfound, I can’t feel at ease.”

Li Ang grew more worried as he spoke.

Mei Zheng stepped forward and embraced him from behind.

“Don’t worry too much, things will come together when they meet; there’s always a way.”

“Hmm…” Li Ang nodded but soon realized and calmly freed himself from Mei Zheng’s embrace and then turned to say:

“Though you say that, could you please not take advantage?”

“Hahaha!” Mei Zheng quickly shifted the topic, “What are you planning to do next?”

“I’m going to seek out Pan Dun.”

“Find him? You suspect that…”

“Yes, I suspect he betrayed us.” Li Ang stated clearly, “From formulating the plan to executing it, the timeframe was short, and the contact from Yunlang was directly made through An Xiuyi, leaving little room for leaks. If I had to point out which part is most insecure, it would be Pan Dun, our go-between.”

Mei Zheng frowned and asked: “Did you not exclude Pan Dun from the planning stage? He shouldn’t know much.”

“I did exclude him, but what An Xiuyi told him is uncertain.”

“Alright, I’ll deploy my people to help you find him.”

…

What happened next seemed to further confirm Li Ang’s suspicion.

Pan Dun went into hiding.

By rights, now that Li Ang and An Xiuyi’s actions were over, he should have stepped forward to claim his intermediary fee. But when Li Ang tried to make contact, he was unreachable.

He didn’t have much time to personally look for someone, but Mei Zheng had enough manpower. She was practically the local tyrant of He Dao District, where the Rebel Army primarily developed their base, notably the most chaotic place in Era City. Similarly, mercenaries at Black Mountain Goat Farm mostly operated in He Dao District, facilitating inevitable close ties between both—whether positive interactions or arising conflicts.

If even Mei Zheng’s Rebel Army couldn’t find someone at the moment, then Pan Dun was definitely purposely hiding.

There was no way; Li Ang was unable to spend extensive time looking for someone himself, so he had to entrust this matter to Mei Zheng.

He himself returned to the safe house to rest.

He was indeed exhausted from the past period.

However, he was destined not to have a good rest.

That night, he had a dream that he remembered vividly upon waking the next day.

He dreamed of Wang Su.
