Liu Yilin nodded. Having personally experienced all of this, which also involved several departments, she naturally knew that the matter would not easily be put to rest.
"Who says not? I've harmed them all. That Ryan was clearly after me, and they were just trying to save people."
Liu Yilin said with guilt.
"Don't think that way. Protecting citizens is their responsibility. One must do their job when in a position. Otherwise, they are just feathering their own nests."
Ning Beichen comforted her.
"That's the logic, but I still feel very guilty. Those people really shouldn't have died."
Liu Yilin looked weary, her heart heavy with guilt. This was not something that could be easily soothed away with a few words.
Ning Beichen didn't say much more. After all, the incident was too serious, even beyond his expectations, let alone for others.
"Ryan deserved to die!"
After a long pause, Liu Yilin said through gritted teeth.
"It's useless to say that now. Ryan is indeed deserving of death, but even more deserving is the Holy See. Without the Holy See, there would be no Ryan."
Ning Beichen said calmly and rationally.
"By the way, has the official side said anything?"
Ning Beichen had been busy saving Feng Wu these past few days and hadn't paid much attention to the news here.
"No, they say it's still in the early stages of investigation, and they can't confirm that the person was Ryan."
Liu Yilin replied unwillingly.
"They are not unwilling, they are powerless. Both the Violet family and the Holy See are far overseas. No matter how unwilling they are, they have no overseas jurisdiction. "
Ning Beichen understood the reason with a little thought.
"That's impossible. If they confirmed that this person was Ryan, they could go through the Violet family to find the Holy See."
Liu Yilin said.
"And what if they found them? Would they admit it? Moreover, they would be delighted to see us in trouble. The more trouble we are in, the happier they will be. Don't say they will help us; I bet if you sent someone over, they wouldn't even give you the time of day."
Ning Beichen said quite calmly.
Liu Yilin's expression darkened. Although she didn't understand these matters very well, she had enough intelligence to quickly grasp Ning Beichen's meaning.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Liu Yilin still asked somewhat unwillingly.
"When you say 'we,' do you mean you and me, or the official side?"
Ning Beichen asked.
"Of course, the official side. Such a major incident, with so many casualties, are they just going to pretend nothing happened?"
Liu Yilin said.
"I don't know about that. At most, it will be some diplomatic wrangling, which won't have much effect. If pushed, they might just offer up a scapegoat, but there won't be any real progress."
Ning Beichen replied.
"Besides, do you think the Violet family would admit to this matter?"
Liu Yilin was confused. Ning Beichen explained to her.
"Everyone saw that Ryan was dead and they even held a funeral. Now you say this person is Ryan. Who would believe you?"
"So there's really no way at all?"
Liu Yilin was very helpless.
"What can we do? The ancient Eastern country can't declare war on them for such a trivial matter, can it?"
Ning Beichen was quite open-minded, or rather, he had already known there would be no outcome.
What the official side would do next would be nothing more than strengthening border control and trying to prevent such incidents from happening again. Beyond that, they had no good solutions.
Sometimes, the official side had to consider the bigger picture, unlike people like Ning Beichen who could act more recklessly.
Liu Yilin sighed deeply, her face growing even more tired, giving her a sense of helplessness.
After a while, Liu Yilin suddenly looked up at Ning Beichen and said.
"Beichen, I want to practice martial arts. Can you teach me?"
Ning Beichen was taken aback. He looked at Liu Yilin for a moment and said.
"Yilin, are you serious?"
Liu Yilin nodded vigorously.
"Since this kind of thing is unavoidable, I can only strengthen myself. I don't want more people to be injured or even lose their lives because of me."
"Yilin, you don't need to be like this. Everyone has their own responsibilities. It is their mission to die protecting you. Shi Yong is like that, Feng Wu is like that, and I am too."
Ning Beichen tried to comfort her.
"No, I don't want to put my fate in the hands of others."
"This incident, if I were more capable, perhaps it could have been avoided. Maybe Feng Wu wouldn't have been injured, and Shi Yong and the others wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties."
"I escaped this time, but what about next time? Can you protect me forever?"
Liu Yilin looked at Ning Beichen and said.
Ning Beichen immediately fell silent. He had only promised his master that he would protect Liu Yilin for one year.
What about after a year?
Would no one target Liu Yilin after a year?
This was impossible.
In the eyes of some people, Liu Yilin's talent was a threat. If they had the opportunity to kill her or capture her, they would never let it go.
It was known that the chip Liu Yilin developed, which surpassed world-class standards, had ninety-five percent of its technology originating from her. This was something no one had achieved so far.
If she were just a CEO.
Even if Tianmei Technology Group was worth a lot, other countries wouldn't care too much.
But she was not just a CEO; she was a genius who surpassed most geniuses.
Although Liu Yilin's chip had only been out for a short time, it had already enabled the ancient Eastern country to apply her chip technology in various fields, far surpassing other countries. If this continued, it would be disastrous.
This time it was just a chip.
What about next time?
What about the time after that?
No one could guarantee what amazing things Liu Yilin would come up with next.
Moreover, with the successful development of this chip, it was foreseeable that from now on, Liu Yilin would no longer have to worry about funding.
A woman with astonishing talent, coupled with wealth and power, was good news for the ancient Eastern country, but bad news for other countries.
Although Ning Beichen didn't fully understand these matters, he had seen the thick stack of invitation letters from around the world in Liu Yilin's office.
These included invitations from top universities, research institutions, and major corporations worldwide.
To them, Liu Yilin was a piece of prime meat, and everyone wanted a bite.
"Since you want to learn, I will teach you. However, you won't learn much just by staying here. You'll need to go out with me for a while, and there will be some danger."
Ning Beichen thought for a moment and said.
In fact, Ning Beichen agreed not because of her unwillingness or guilt, but because of her potential.
If Liu Yilin was a genius in scientific research, then she was also a genius in cultivation, a genius that made Ning Beichen jealous.
