With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 1042: Once a coincidence, twice…(3)

Mu Bao Bao still looked at Lin Fan with the same narrowed eyes, but Lin Fan didn't back down.

Eventually, it was Mu Bao Bao that backed down as she sat down once again.

After sitting down, she gave a frustrated sigh before saying, "I know that you're right, I know that even if I were to send them into action, they wouldn't be able to do anything. I also know that if I rashly send them off, all that will happen is that it will alert the enemy."

Then she puffed her cheeks out like she was pouting as she said to me, "But it's frustrating not being able to do anything like this."

If any of Mu Bao Bao's ministers saw her acting like this, there was no doubt that their chins would have dropped to the ground.

After all, this was a side of her that she would never show anyone else other than the people in this room. It was only with the people in this room that she felt comfortable enough to show this side of her.

It was only with Lin Fan that she was able to act like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

Lin Fan shook his head as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he leaned in to take her in his arms before saying, "I know how you're feeling, but you're not the only one feeling this way."

Slightly knitting his brows and revealing a more serious look, he continued by saying, "We're all feeling frustrated and a bit scared that there was this enemy that has been able to hide themselves away like this for so long. However, we can't let this get to us, we still have to think this through logically."

Mu Bao Bao gave another sigh before saying, "I know, I know, but…"

Lin Fan just patted her on the head while holding her, doing what he could to placate her.

After a while, Lin Fan turned back to Yue Lan and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Yue Lan looked at Ming Xin, but then the two of them shook their heads at the same time.

Lin Fan had already expected this since the two of them had been silently reading the reports that he had pulled out the entire time. If they had already found something, then they would have formulated a plan and suggested something.

The fact that they remained silent was more than enough to show that they had no idea what to do.

Lin Fan didn't find this strange since until now, they didn't know that there was someone that had been hiding under the surface of the Mu Empire, creating this organization that was a threat to them.

Right now, there was no telling how many other underground labs and how many dangerous experiments there were scattered throughout the Mu Empire.

It really was a sobering thought to think that there were so many enemies hidden.

They thought that they had been careful about this, but it seemed that they hadn't been careful enough that they hadn't been able to detect this enemy.

Though in the end, they knew that they couldn't blame themselves since it wasn't as if they would have thought that someone from another continent would be doing something like this.

At the same time, it wasn't as if they could easily see through the technology of the other continent.

Everyone was silent for a while as they tried to figure out their next move, but it just didn't seem like anyone had a good idea.

That was until Yue Lan broke the silence by saying, "Can you do something about this?"

The one that she asked was Lin Fan.

Though it seemed like she was just trying to place all her hopes on him, there was actually a foundation for her asking this of him.

It was all because of the inexplicable things that he had done in the past.

Lin Fan was the one that had found the traitors that had been connected to the Wu Empire. He had used a method that none of them had been able to figure out.

Even after all this time of trying to figure it out, there wasn't a single one of them that had been able to figure it out.

But since he had this kind of power, that was what Yue Lan was hoping would help them this time. Only that hope wasn't actually possible for Lin Fan, even if he wanted it to be true.

A bitter smile appeared on Lin Fan's face after he heard this before he slowly shook his head to show that he couldn't do anything about this.

His Appraisal Eyes were powerful, but they weren't powerful enough that they would be able to see through the ground.

Last time, if it wasn't for the fact that the space ship had detected the radiation energy, then it would have been impossible to find that base in the first place.

Well, no, with the leak that had happened, someone might have found something eventually and reported it in. But it still meant that they had gotten lucky with the leak or else they wouldn't have noticed the base.

It certainly didn't mean that they would be lucky enough to find another base just because of another leak.

The only other option was to keep tabs on all of the families that had even a bit of power in the Mu Empire since they were the only ones that could fund these bases.

But that would just take too much time and effort that it just wouldn't be viable…

In the end, it didn't seem like there was anything that they could do about this matter.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan said, "Let's forget about this."

All of the girls looked at him with shocked looks when they heard this.

There were traces of unwillingness that were in Yue Lan and Ming Xin's face. It seemed like they thought that there was more that they could do in regards to this matter.

On the other hand, it seemed like Mu Bao Bao had accepted this.

Even though she had been the one that had reacted the most intensely earlier, she was the one that was the most calm right now.

After a moment of silence, Mu Bao Bao gave a slow nod before saying, "You're right, there's no reason to keep pursuing this matter. All we can do is strengthen ourselves and make sure that they can't cause any trouble."

Everyone looked at Mu Bao Bao with a surprised look when they heard this, but they didn't say anything in the end.

That was because all of them could see the way that Mu Bao Bao had clenched her fists.

Even though she had forced a calm look to appear on her face, that didn't mean that she was actually calm. Her clenched fists were more than enough to show this.

But as the empress of the Mu Empire, she knew that there really wasn't anything that they could do. Trying to force a solution would just hurt the Mu Empire instead of helping it deal with this situation.

So the only thing that they could do was drop this matter.

After they came to this decision, everyone just sat there silently in the room almost as if they were defeated. It really didn't seem like there was anything that they could say after coming to this conclusion.

With a sigh, Yue Lan broke the silence by saying, "We'll see if they can find anything with the space ship. I'll also have Veronica see if she can develop something that can look for these labs underground."

Ming Xin gave a nod before saying, "We'll also send people to investigate the technology that flows into the Mu Empire. Give me a list of the materials that they were asking for in the reports, I'll keep my eye out for them."

Though the two of them were trying to figure out ways to deal with this situation even without any clues, it really wasn't helping that much.

These were just simple countermeasures that didn't seem to have any hope of giving anything substantial.

After they discussed this for a while, Lin Fan suddenly stood up and said, "Can you guys leave for a bit?"

The other girls were surprised to hear this, but then they looked at Mu Bao Bao who had been silent with her head down. The look in their eyes showed that they could understand what Lin Fan wanted to do.

Though there was a trace of envy that they weren't being treated the same.

Lin Fan looked at them with a faint smile as if he was saying that he would make it up to them later and with that, all of them left the room.

After they left, he took Mu Bao Bao in his arms again.

She didn't resist at all as she entered his embrace and she even went as far as curling up in his arms, letting herself fall into his embrace even further.

"Am I a failure?" Mu Bao Bao suddenly asked this.

Lin Fan silently patted her head before saying, "No."

"Then why is everything happening now?"

Lin Fan gave a sigh before saying, "Things are like that sometimes and there's nothing that we can do about it. But you can be sure that all of us are here with you."

Mu Bao Bao looked up at him with tearful eyes for a bit before saying, "Hold me."

Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile, but he did oblige her and held her tighter.
