Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Yu Qingyan had always believed that anger was the most useless emotion. Apart from causing loss of control, it was utterly unhelpful.

Thus, he rarely got angry and valued problem-solving over tracing the process.

But today, he suddenly understood what some people meant by, "Anger should not be buried deep inside. It seems calm on the surface but actually accumulates internal stress, which is not beautiful."

Yu Qingyan half-closed his eyes, stroking the B01 on his wrist, slowly adjusting his surging emotions.

Indeed, whenever it came to Xiao An, it was too easy for him to lose control.

"Council President." You An, under immense pressure, stood up from the front row, stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully, "Please don't be angry. We don't have exact information on this matter yet, but it is significant, and it is better to be safe than sorry, which is why I sent that brief message. Now, please allow me to explain in detail."

Yu Qingyan's expression was unreadable, his gray-green eyes gleaming with an inorganic cold light. "Oh? Minister You An dares to speak like this, truly loyal to the Federation and the people, conscientious and worthy of commendation."

You An lowered his head. "I don't dare to claim that. It's just part of my duty."

"Speak then." Yu Qingyan leaned on the table with his elbows, his hands clasped, his gaze falling on You An's figure, which was hard to discern, his eyes cold. "I'm curious as well. What important matter could make Minister You An so cautious?"

You An summarized briefly in one sentence, "There are suspected sightings of a queen bug at the border."

The room erupted in commotion, the once solemn and quiet council chamber suddenly filled with noise and whispers in every corner, buzzing incessantly.

"God, how can there be a queen bug? Wasn't it exterminated a hundred years ago?"

"It seems it wasn't completely exterminated... There were rumors among the 9th Expeditionary Corps that some bug eggs were left behind."

"Left behind??? Oh my God, who said that?"

"I reviewed the reports from the previous quarter a few days ago, and there was nothing about this!"

"Uh, didn't I say it? It's just a rumor. It might be false..."

"...Wait, I take back what I said. Actually, considering the government's situation at that time, it's not entirely impossible."

...

Amid the noise, a disgruntled voice came from the back row. "Minister You An, did you leave something out? Is this the main topic of our meeting today? Did you forget to gather us to sign..."

You An was frozen in place, his face turning ashen, cursing inwardly: Idiot.

He had no idea. Yu Qingyan had clearly shown his displeasure, looking as if today's matter was not "serious" enough, like someone waiting to go home and chisel a gravestone.

How could he dare present that joint proposal? Was he looking for trouble?

Thinking of this, You An felt increasingly guilty, no longer concerned about using the old debate method to obstruct the continuation of the Empire University teaching as he initially hoped. He could only hunker down like a quail.

After all, Ni Ne'er's fate was vivid and shocking.

He quickly spoke up to interrupt, "Stop, Antok. We'll discuss this later. The most important matter now is the suspected queen bug at the border. If true, it would be a huge disaster."
