The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 351 Meeting
Then only Jiang Hui and August remained outside the emergency room.

As for the three therapists, they naturally accompanied him into the emergency room to assist with the treatment, since Augusta couldn't fully trust them in such an unfamiliar place.

When Hillman was here before, it was like two quails facing a lion; there was bound to be tension, but at least they had company. Now, Jiang Hui is all alone, and the atmosphere has inevitably become awkward.

Jiang Hui wasn't one to be coy. To be honest, although she hadn't been in interstellar space for very long, she had already seen quite a lot, even officers higher in rank than August, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

But Clarence's older brother was just too aggressive and had a very strong presence; even a simple glance from him felt like a scrutiny...

Okay, maybe the other person really is scrutinizing her—though not maliciously. But could they please stop staring at her like that? It's really putting a lot of pressure on her…

"Jiang Hui," the other person suddenly said, the restless mood from their first meeting completely gone, replaced by a calm and composed demeanor.

“My younger brother…” Jiang Hui looked at the other person silently, wanting to hear what the other person had to say.

"Did I cause you any trouble?" August asked Jiang Hui earnestly, like a parent worried about their child.

How was she supposed to answer that? Jiang Hui was completely stunned.

Clarence? Provoking trouble?

These two words don't seem to connect at all! Is the other person talking about Clarence, whom she knows? That guy might not seem easy to get along with, but he doesn't seem like he could cause any trouble at all...

And how was she supposed to answer that? How could the other person have such a misunderstanding?
Jiang Hui shook her head repeatedly, and after considering it for a moment, said, "No, Clarence is very outstanding, and we get along very well with him."

"I know that kid well enough. He's not good at talking, doesn't know how to get along with people, and is very stubborn. He always gives us a lot to worry about. He's only been here for a short time, so how could he have changed so much all of a sudden? I guess it's all thanks to the tolerance of you classmates."

Clarence is indeed not good at speaking, and it's obvious that he doesn't know how to get along with people, but he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would cause trouble.

Jiang Hui felt that Clarence, her older brother, seemed to have some misunderstandings about him. And to be honest, she didn't feel that everyone was particularly "tolerant" of Clarence; he was actually quite easy to get along with—as long as you were willing to communicate with him.

However, she couldn't tell whether the other person was being sincere or just being modest, so she simply remained silent.

But how could August not see the hint of disapproval that naturally appeared on Jiang Hui's face? He couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

It seems his younger brother has really made some good friends here...

Well then, given their family's circumstances, they're not limited to secondary education resources, so why not let him stay here as he pleases?
If August had previously been just joking, taking an indifferent bystander's perspective and waiting for Theofele to be dragged back to the central star sector by his mother and the others, then now he had completely changed his mind.

Their family was always busy, and even when they were stationed in the Mid-Star District, they had no time to attend to Theofel's studies.

Therefore, they never heard about the isolation he experienced at school or the bad things that happened to him. By the time the incident came to light, it was too late; the boy had developed a sense of alienation towards his original school and even the entire Central Star Region.

His parents, left with no other option, transferred him to another school. But the boy, acting on his own initiative, used his trusted confidants to slip away from the central star system. By the time they received the news, he had already enrolled, and more than a week into the semester.

However, they simply didn't have the time at the time, and it wasn't until recently that they managed to have a proper talk with the boy. Naturally, neither side was entirely satisfied with the outcome, but the decision was made that Theofele would stay and study there temporarily. August knew that, given his mother's personality, she would find a way to bring him back to the central sector no matter what. Because in his mother's eyes, Theofele's behavior was cowardly and escapist; he couldn't run away forever, and that would only invite ridicule from those who had hurt him.

He and his father didn't think much of it, considering it just children's squabbles and nothing serious, so they let it unfold as it was, and were happy to watch Theofel and his mother outwit each other.

Only now did August truly realize... that they should perhaps respect Theofel's own thoughts. The boy's ideas and decisions were not simply due to pure willfulness, as they had imagined, and the choices he made might not necessarily lead to bad results.

Let's talk about it properly later.

Jiang Hui didn't know why the other person had started to drift off into a daze while talking to her, but she was happy to have some peace and quiet. She relaxed the muscles in her back, leaned back lazily against the chair outside the emergency room, and cleared her mind.

"Tap tap tap——"

The sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the dragging of military boots, was so loud that the two lost in thought could not ignore it and looked in the direction of the sound.

Each emergency room in the hospital is independent, and to avoid interference, even the waiting area for family members has been separated. So at this moment, no one else will be here except for relevant personnel.

Who came over at this time? Could it be Hillman's family... or another member of Clarence's family?
As the crowd drew closer, Jiang Hui realized that it wasn't them; it turned out to be her two other friends who had come looking for her.

The newcomers were Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian, along with another group of completely unfamiliar soldiers.

Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian were still dressed the same as they had been seen this morning, but neither of them looked clean or refreshed, appearing rather travel-worn. However, they seemed to be in good spirits and should not have been injured.

Zhou Xiuwen was followed by several soldiers in military uniforms. They were not the same people who had escorted Jiang Hui and the others earlier. Judging from their uniforms, they seemed to be of high rank.

Huan Xian came alone.

Then there was another group of unfamiliar soldiers. The young man in charge was handsome and carried a hint of murderous intent from the battlefield, which made the entire waiting area shudder.

Both people in the waiting area stood up from their chairs.

Jiang Hui saw Huan Xian and Zhou Xiuwen, while the other person saw a colleague who had unexpectedly appeared there.

"Are you two alright? What are you doing here?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Zong."

Two voices arose at the same time, but the questions were directed in completely different directions.

Because their steps were so synchronized, their voices clashed, and the intermingling of their voices unconsciously evoked a sense of awkwardness.
