After identifying the forces behind the "Danube Riverside" bar, Sun Cheng had the idea of withdrawing the ultramicroscopic probes deployed inside the bar.

He was well aware that once the items he had secretly placed within the National Security Bureau's intranet were discovered, it would undoubtedly cause a significant disturbance.

To prevent the exposure and subsequent revocation of the covert base he accidentally discovered, Sun Cheng decided that the ultramicroscopic probes needed to be retrieved.

After all, these mosquito-like ultramicroscopic probes were low-cost products, and even though they appeared advanced due to their manufacturing process borrowed from the Cybertron Planet, the reality was that they could be easily detected by electromagnetic surveillance devices currently available on Earth.

Ultramicroscopic probes had a fatal weakness: they needed to periodically transmit data to the subnest and mainnest while receiving further instructions, a process that generated electromagnetic waves.

The reason these mechanical mosquitoes hadn't been exposed so far was twofold: firstly, many customers who frequented the bar carried phones or other electronic devices, releasing a significant amount of electromagnetic waves; secondly, the secret base of the National Security Bureau had its blind spots. Despite their daily use of specialized instruments for sweeping, their primary focus was on countering eavesdropping devices. This allowed the ultramicroscopic probes to remain undetected until now.

After thinking for a while, Sun Cheng ultimately decided not to retrieve the ultramicroscopic probes.

He was prepared to make contact with the National Security Bureau. When dealing with national forces, he had to show some of his cards.

Having witnessed the greed and lack of integrity of European and American politicians in the "Transformers Universe," Sun Cheng was more willing to explore the darker aspects of human nature.

The night passed quickly amid his rare insomnia.

The next morning, Sun Cheng, who had only slept for a couple of hours, was awakened by Ye Qi, who was also up early for a change.

With faint dark circles under his eyes, Sun Cheng freshened up and put on a suit provided by Ye Qi. Together, they set off in the car towards South China University of Technology.

Today was the graduation ceremony for their group of entrepreneurial students, and for Sun Cheng, it could be considered a big day.

So, Ye Qi had taken a day off from work and arranged to accompany him to the South China University of Technology for the graduation ceremony.

"...Let's stop the car here. I'll use some BB cream to cover up your dark circles a bit. After all, you're now a somewhat famous entrepreneur. If people find out you couldn't sleep the night before the university graduation, who knows how they might interpret it..."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Qi took out a small makeup kit from her bag and took out a bottle of unknown makeup product, shaking it in her hand.

Sun Cheng's hand holding the steering wheel twitched slightly, and he glanced at her irritably.

"No need. It's quite normal for someone involved in research to have dark circles..."

As the Chief Technology Officer at Cybertron Technology Group and also the boss, his position had been further strengthened. Even though he had been busy with the company's expansion for the most part, he had also been involved in guiding technical development and long-term research strategies. To him, having a bit of dark circles was inconsequential.

This might be one of the many differences between men and women.

Seeing that Sun Cheng didn't stop the car, Ye Qi scolded him playfully all the way but didn't throw a tantrum or interfere with his driving.

This was why he had liked Ye Qi since a long time ago – her gentle and decisive nature, which would never lead her to do inappropriate things at the wrong time. This was precisely the type of woman traditional men like Sun Cheng appreciated the most.

The car wasn't going fast, as they had left an hour early. When they arrived at the South China University of Technology, there was still about thirty to forty minutes before the commencement ceremony began.

Having spent several years at South China University of Technology, Sun Cheng was familiar with the campus.

The hall where the graduation ceremony was being held for their group of entrepreneurial students was in the northern campus, closer to the west gate.

After entering the university through the west gate and parking the car in a nearby parking lot, just as he was about to get out of the car, Sun Cheng felt a vibration from his inner pocket, where Xiao Wu, the mini Decepticon in smartphone form, was located.

In an instant, his expression subtly changed.

Since Revenge, who had transformed into a laptop computer, wasn't convenient to bring to the graduation ceremony, Sun Cheng had only brought Xiao Wu, the mini Decepticon.

Although Xiao Wu's mechanical body was inferior to Revenge's in many aspects, it possessed most of the abilities a mini Decepticon should have, albeit slightly weaker.

Xiao Wu wouldn't expose itself in front of people; it would only contact him through vibrations when there was something important.

As he felt the vibration, Sun Cheng's thoughts raced, and his heart tightened.
