Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 763 - 492: A Heavy Hammer_1

Upon hearing Feng Yi’s response, Yue Geng Yang was momentarily stunned.

Adjacent, Ji Fan, who was processing documents, also lifted his eyes to look over.

The couple was indeed surprised by Feng Yi’s choice, as before this, Feng Yi had always been supportive of the Butterfly Project. The variety show "Survivors" that Feng Chi participated in also involved Feng Yi’s influence.

"Why?" Yue Geng Yang was curious about the reason behind Feng Yi’s change of attitude.

"I have some concerns," Feng Yi said.

After the cyclone had grown in size, issues that were easy to overlook during the strike by Meteorological Weapons were magnified and exposed.

This time, Feng Yi saw it clearly.

The project team hadn’t calculated the energy matter.

Energy matter, which can influence celestial phenomena!

Depending on such energy matter to grow and "command winds and summon rain," Feng Yi knew all too well the changes it could bring!

"This weapon, it’s not mature yet, and needs further testing and improvement in the open ocean. If we hastily move on to the next phase, conducting tests nearshore, and if we are unlucky, it might develop in the reverse direction. It could reach... a very serious level."

Yue Geng Yang realized that when Feng Yi spoke these words, it wasn’t emotional uncertainty, but rather a calm and firm statement. Perhaps, it was not a conjecture but a statement of fact.

Although the Butterfly Project’s team had gathered top talents from around the globe, on this matter, Yue Geng Yang still trusted Feng Yi more.

While they spoke, others were discussing tomorrow’s voting meeting.

In the building temporarily housing the United Protection Agency and certain project personnel.

"The exercise was a huge success, and the outcome of tomorrow’s meeting is already clear!"

"But there won’t be a shortage of doubts."

"Doubts? The Butterfly Project was formed amid doubts and has come this far. Haven’t we always faced skepticism?"

"Doubts are one thing, but the final decision is another. Take Raymond, for example; he doesn’t like the project, but that won’t stop him from casting a vote in favor."

"Ancestral Factory should be in favor too. I’m not familiar with Ji Fan, but President Yue is good at reading the situation. Plus, there’s Feng Yi he brought along, an expert certified by the United Protection Agency, who has been supportive from the beginning."

"Hmm, as long as the key parties cast their votes in favor, there won’t be a problem."

Not far from where Feng Yi and the others were, in another building.

This was where the national team members were resting.

In a room on a certain floor, an old man took a cup of tea from his grandson, looking at the secretary who had walked in.

The secretary reported, "We have already received the choice intentions from the domestic entrepreneurs; most are in favor..."

Regardless of whether they’re in favor or against, their intentions were set.

"But, there’s no response yet from President Yue of Ancestral Factory."

The old man’s gaze sharpened, "President Yue hasn’t responded yet, up to now?"

He had thought that Ancestral Factory would clearly be in favor, but now it seemed... there was a change.

After pondering, the old man checked the time and instructed the secretary to go to the building where the Ancestral Factory team was and have a face-to-face talk with Yue Geng Yang.

The base’s restrictions were now a little looser than before, but it still limited free movement. However, such restrictions applied to most guests while they were not among this majority.

The secretary did not stay away long and returned shortly after.

The old man was somewhat startled.

Back so soon, did they hardly speak a few words?

"When I got there, President Yue and his people were having a meeting; he specifically came out to talk to me for a while. They are very likely to cast a vote against."

The secretary conveyed the conversation and passed a note, "This is from President Yue."

The old man put on his glasses, took the note, and unfolded it—

[Cherish the trivial and act in a timely manner. Do not seek good fortune hastily, worry that disaster may follow.]

The old man stared at the note, frowning in silence.

A younger man nearby was curious. The old man gestured for him to come closer, "What can you discern?"

As an accompanying member brought along by family elders to gain experience, the young man was aware of President Yue of Ancestral Factory.

He looked at the note and after a moment’s thought, said, "If you only look at the literal meaning, it’s a reminder to be cautious and prevent problems before they arise. Does President Yue believe this matter is more detrimental than beneficial?"

The old man shook his head slightly but didn’t directly answer.

The young man couldn’t tell if his grandfather agreed but could see that the elder was also somewhat puzzled. He just didn’t know whether the doubt was about tomorrow’s voting meeting or about Yue Geng Yang himself.

The following day.

The guests advanced to the venue.

Those who had voting rights at this meeting were only those truly invited; accompanying personnel were excluded.

Their attitudes wouldn’t directly determine the course of the Butterfly Project but would influence what followed.

The combined committee, formed of significant members of the Butterfly Project team and representatives of member countries, would take the voting results into account to make the final decision.

If there was a strong opposition voice, the combined committee might reject the project team’s decision to immediately proceed with the next phase of testing.

The voting meeting had a limit on attendees, and each invited person could bring at most two additional individuals.

From Ancestral Factory’s side, though two had received invitations, only three people were attending the meeting—Yue Geng Yang and his wife, plus Feng Yi.

Typically, invited people would bring aides who doubled as translators, bodyguards, or senior advisors, choosing two people based on actual needs.

The combination from Ancestral Factory was indeed surprising.

What exactly were President Yue and his spouse thinking?
