Sangster listened attentively to his introduction, but he didn't rush to give his opinion. After nodding slightly, he turned his attention to the investigation report brought by Willis.

The report was several dozen pages long, and although Sangster had already seen most of its contents before, he quickly flipped through the file and reached the last page.

Having finished reading the report, he closed it and lightly pinched the bridge of his nose. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke up, "I've finished reading the report, Willis. You've done a good job."

He picked up his coffee and took a sip. The coffee had cooled considerably since before, but it didn't bother Sangster in the slightest.

In fact, his attention was no longer focused on the cup of coffee at this point.

"We don't need to investigate the International Genetic Technology Company any further. The military has conducted a thorough scan of Nublar Island with their satellites. It's unbelievable that this company has managed to revive those prehistoric monsters that were supposed to have gone extinct millions of years ago. The government has already started contacting John Hammond, and even the Costa Rican government is involved in discussions regarding the dinosaur issue on Nubra Island..."

Sangster's eyes shimmered with excitement. The U.S. government had initially planned to search for suspicious extraterrestrial spacecraft that might have landed near Nublar Island, but they accidentally stumbled upon Professor Hammond and his International Genetic Technology Company, two major discoveries.

If the International Genetic Technology Company is capable of resurrecting dinosaurs that went extinct millions of years ago, it's clear that they possess advanced cloning and genetic technologies.

Not only did this pique the interest of the U.S. government and politicians on Capitol Hill, but even the military's classified laboratories requested a copy of the report, hoping to gain access to the International Genetic Technology Company's advanced genetic and biological technologies.

Seeing Professor Hammond becoming a hot commodity, Sangster naturally didn't want to miss out and let the CIA block others from gaining access to their resources.

Moreover, the CIA had also uncovered new leads that awaited further investigation.

"If Major Dutch's information is accurate, then we can reasonably conclude that at least one extraterrestrial being has arrived on Earth in a spacecraft. However, whether the spacecraft is still on Isla Nublar, in the nearby waters, or hidden somewhere beneath the sea is no longer our responsibility... The military has already begun organizing an underwater search and salvage team, and the government will assign personnel to take over the search on the island..."

Sangster extracted two documents from the file, each containing information on 'Ada Wong' and 'Sun Cheng' respectively. He handed the 'Ada Wong' document back to Willis.

"Focus on investigating Ada Wong. I just reviewed her profile. She was born in the United States, lived there for over twenty years, and is a Chinese-American graduate from a prestigious domestic university. Not only are her employment details fabricated, but there is also no trace of her health or transportation records. There's definitely something off about this woman..."

"Yes, sir!"

Willis quickly stood up, accepted the 'Ada Wong' document, and acknowledged Sangster's instructions.

Sangster glanced at Sun Cheng's profile again and mused, "He's Chinese..."

After a moment of contemplation, he put the document away.

"Let's mobilize our contacts in China and verify the information on this young Chinese man as soon as possible..."

"Yes, sir! Give me two days..."

"I'll leave it in your hands..."

...

On the other side of the ocean, the attention of the world's largest intelligence agency is about to fall on him.

However, Sun Cheng is not aware yet that he has caught the attention of the CIA.

The previous night, due to excessive excitement, he stayed up until past 2 a.m. before finally going to bed. When he woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly outside his window.

Rubbing his eyes and yawning, Sun Cheng got out of bed and asked the empty room, "What time is it now?"

Just as he finished speaking, in the room, two mechanical voices, one cold and one slightly soft, resounded simultaneously.

"Master, it is 11:47:32 AM on May 19, 2016 AD."

Needless to say, the cold voice belonged to Revenge, while the slightly soft voice came from Xiao Wu.

"Is it already this late?"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a surge of energy.

In the past few days, his schedule has been packed, and there are plenty of things in the real world that require his attention.

Swiftly getting out of bed, Sun Cheng quickly freshened up and grabbed a pack of vegetarian spaghetti he had bought from the supermarket for convenience. After opening the packaging and adding the sauce, he placed it on a plate and microwaved it for a while.

After satisfying his breakfast and lunch, his stomach finally settled.

After giving Revenge some instructions and reminding it to keep an eye on the apartment, Sun Cheng brought Xiao Wu along, changed into outdoor attire, locked the apartment door, and headed to the underground parking lot. He got into the domestically made pickup truck and swiftly drove towards the outskirts of the Xixia District, to the three mines he had purchased anonymously.

He drove steadily, taking a detour along the way and stopping by a gas station to buy a few cans of diesel fuel, just as he usually did.

Nearly an hour later, he finally drove into the mountainous outskirts and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

As always, he parked the pickup truck at the foot of the mountain, inside the construction site originally built by Hongyuan Group.

After carefully surveying his surroundings and ensuring that he was not being followed, Sun Cheng took out a backpack containing a gas mask and other items, and then quickly picked up two barrels of diesel fuel from the truck and headed towards the mountains.

The No. 1 base in Huwangling had been under construction for some time now.

Every time he returned here, Sun Cheng could sense the changes that had taken place.

Therefore, he had developed a deeper appreciation for the abilities of the industrial robots, which served as substitutes for the Decepticon engineers that originated from his inspiration in the world of "Transformers." During the day, due to concerns about the growing domestic drone market, he worried that people might come here to play with drones and inadvertently capture images of the working engineers.

As a result, Sun Cheng had made adjustments to the engineers' activities. During the day, their main operations would take place within the mountain at the No. 1 base.

Only at night would they carry out other tasks in the somewhat narrow canyon outside the mountain.

With the oil barrels in hand, Sun Cheng neared the foot of the mountain, sensing a slight crashing sound coming from a low area nearby. He couldn't help but feel intrigued and walked towards the source of the sound, still carrying the two barrels of diesel fuel.
