The arrival of the “Save the Earth” organization members to protest at Starry Sky City gave Liu Hui a massive headache. As he was contemplating how to deal with these demonstrators, Wu Yuanjia suddenly pointed toward the distance and said, “Boss, look, the police are coming.”

Liu Hui followed the direction Wu Yuanjia indicated and saw a police speedboat rushing toward Starry Sky City from the distant sea. More than a dozen officers stood aboard that craft. Liu Hui’s gaze was sharp; he immediately recognized the leader among the police group as Superintendent Ma from the New Territories. Superintendent Ma was specifically in charge of security matters concerning the Starry Sky Group. Upon hearing that Starry Sky Group had reported a protest and demonstration here, he immediately dispatched the police to maintain order and prevent the situation from escalating into an uncontrollable, bloody conflict between the two sides.

The police speedboat quickly reached Liu Hui and his group. Superintendent Ma and one officer disembarked. Superintendent Ma only exchanged a hurried greeting with Liu Hui before beginning to question Wu Yuanjia about the precise situation. Superintendent Ma had already received internal intelligence indicating the immense influence of the Starry Sky Group at higher levels, meaning absolutely no mistakes could be afforded. Thus, as soon as he heard about the protest at Starry Sky Group, he rushed over personally. Upon arriving at the scene, he discovered that the group demonstrating against Starry Sky Group was none other than the notorious environmental organization, “Save the Earth,” known for its use of extreme tactics, which immediately gave him a terrible sense of dread.

Liu Hui stated, “Superintendent Ma, the procedures for Starry Sky Group building this large-scale marine platform are completely in order; this is a legal action that deserves government protection. Now they are demonstrating here without rhyme or reason, you must ensure the safety of our property!”

Superintendent Ma forced a smile. “Boss Liu, with us on guard, they definitely won’t dare to cause trouble, please rest assured! However, this is Hong Kong, and the law grants citizens the right to protest and demonstrate. We cannot simply disperse them.”

Liu Hui replied, “That is naturally the case. It is precisely because Hong Kong is a place of freedom and democracy that Starry Sky Group has taken root here. I just wanted to remind you to ensure our safety. You must know this organization almost caused a bloody incident not long ago.”

Superintendent Ma nodded. “Rest assured, Boss Liu, I will immediately call for police reinforcements to guarantee that nothing happens here.”

Liu Hui nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you, Superintendent Ma.”

Superintendent Ma said, “Boss Liu, you are too kind. Serving the citizens and enterprises is precisely the duty of us police officers.”

Liu Hui then bid farewell to Superintendent Ma and, taking Mei Peng and Wu Yuanjia, headed into the control hub of Starry Sky City. Desheng was already there, monitoring the situation outside via the externally mounted cameras.

Liu Hui sat on the sofa inside the room, his subordinates standing beside him. Liu Hui glanced at the crowd of demonstrators on the large screen and commanded, “Enlarge the headshot of their leader.”

Desheng executed a few operations on the computer and immediately froze and magnified the image of the leading demonstrator.

“This leader looks quite righteous and awe-inspiring. One look suggests people would trust him and be willing to follow him into agitation,” Liu Hui remarked with a smile upon seeing the leader.

“Indeed, Boss. This person looks very amiable, highly suited for a leadership role. Moreover, the slogans he is shouting now are all about saving the Earth; I can actually see a hint of sainthood in him,” Mei Peng chimed in.

Liu Hui chuckled. “Do you really believe there are such perfect people in this world?”

Mei Peng paused, then asked, “Are there really no such perfect people in this world? Boss, what do you mean by that?”

Liu Hui instructed Desheng, “Go immediately and investigate this leader’s detailed background. I do not believe his private life is as upright as he appears on screen. Since this ‘Save the Earth’ organization has come looking for trouble, we cannot sit idly by and lose the battle in public opinion. Hong Kong permits public protests, so we have no recourse there. However, we can dismantle them from within. As soon as their leader encounters negative issues, all these so-called environmental slogans about saving the Earth will become a joke, and these demonstrators will naturally disperse. Although this leader appears supremely just, I have a premonition that his history is far from clean; there must be dirt we can use against him.”

Desheng’s eyes flashed with a cold glint. “Boss, rest assured, it won’t take more than three days for negative news about him to surface in the media.”

Liu Hui smiled. “Desheng, I trust your judgment implicitly.”

Liu Hui’s parents and the old master of the Li family had both received the Rejuvenation Agent two years prior. After two years of its action within their bodies, their internal physiologies had undergone a transformative change; their physical functions had completely returned to the vigorous state of a man in his mid-twenties. Although the elder of the He family in Macau had not received the Rejuvenation Agent for as long, his physical condition had also greatly improved, allowing him to frequently appear in public before the media now.

As for those elderly scientists, near death, who had answered Chen Changsheng’s call and traveled from the mainland to Hong Kong, they too had fully recovered to their prime adulthood. This gave them robust health and abundant energy, enabling them to conduct scientific research more effectively. In contrast, those scientists who had rejected Chen Changsheng’s invitation and refused to come to Hong Kong had mostly passed away over these two years.

The old master of the Li family and the elder of the He family had both resumed shouldering the burdens of their families. They began appearing frequently in the media, showcasing their healthy bodies and clear minds, which helped their family businesses navigate dangers and overcome various looming crises. Their peculiar reappearance attracted widespread attention; everyone found it strange. Previously, the old master of the Li family and the elder of the He family appeared frail and had been absent from the media for a long time, leading to widespread speculation about when these two elders might pass away. Yet, they suddenly began appearing frequently in the media, and since their return, their bodies looked incredibly vigorous, as if they had regained the energy of young men.

People then began comparing their current and previous photographs, discovering that the old master of the Li family’s complexion appeared significantly smoother, and all the white in his hair had vanished, making him look years younger. While the elder of the He family hadn’t displayed such visible symptoms, his health was sound, as if his chronic ailments had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Consequently, people speculated wildly about what strange event had befallen the old master and the elder of the He family. However, both refused to answer reporters’ questions directly, keeping their secrets, which left journalists utterly baffled.

These media reporters conjectured internally but didn't dwell too much on the matter, as the world constantly offered up new sensational news. But there was a discerning individual in this world carefully studying the anomalies occurring in the body of the Li family’s old master in Hong Kong.

This observant person was Abdullah, the current King of Saudi Arabia. Born in 1924, King Abdullah was already 90 years old. Despite his status as the monarch of a major Middle Eastern power, enjoying a life of splendor and wealth, he could not escape the ravages of time. At 90, his bodily functions had begun to decline, and recently, he felt his health worsening with increasing frequency.

Like all wealthy, powerful, and successful men, King Abdullah prized his health above all else, hoping to use modern high-tech medicine to extend his life. However, contemporary medical technology had clearly not advanced to the point where lifespan could be extended or rejuvenation achieved, which greatly disappointed Abdullah. Despite his immense wealth, he could not attain immortality; his deteriorating physical condition suggested that, barring the unexpected, his death was imminent.

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and the old master of the Li family were old acquaintances; they had shared a connection in their youth and maintained occasional contact. They were the same age, and their physical conditions had been comparable. Therefore, when the old master began experiencing health issues, Abdullah had specifically sent people to convey his regards. As a result, Abdullah was keenly aware of the old master’s poor state and knew he was no longer fit to manage the family business.

What puzzled Abdullah, however, was that two years ago, the old master’s health seemed to have taken a turn for the better. The old master began appearing frequently in the media and handling business affairs. Initially, Abdullah assumed his friend couldn't bear to watch his family's enterprise slide, so he was pushing himself with a frail body, believing it wouldn't last long. For this, Abdullah even wrote a letter and sent subordinates with gifts to visit him in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, the old master’s condition became more robust; not only did he look much healthier, but his mind was also sharper, managing the Li family’s enterprises with impeccable skill, showing no inferiority to his youthful vigor. This filled Abdullah with intense curiosity and suspicion.

This curiosity and suspicion had lingered in Abdullah’s mind for the past two years. The more curious and suspicious he became, the more closely he monitored the old master’s every move, even establishing a small research team solely to investigate the old master's physical condition.

Over these two years, Abdullah and his research team were astonished to discover that the old master was slowly beginning to look younger. Although the man appearing in the media still looked extremely aged, Abdullah’s research team used the latest technology to see past the facade, concluding that the old master was using makeup techniques to conceal the reality of his growing youthfulness.

Upon reaching this unbelievable conclusion, Abdullah fell into deep contradiction. On one hand, he refused to believe human aging could be reversed, as his entire education had taught him that the aging process was irreversible. On the other hand, his research team informed him that, due to some unknown cause, the old master’s body was indeed reverting to a younger state. This conflicting feeling caused him significant distress.

Finally, during one of the old master’s trips abroad to the Middle East, Abdullah secretly received him in his palace. His research team conducted clandestine observations, even obtaining some of the old master’s genetic samples to compare against his previously recorded genetic map. They then reached a firm conclusion: this old master was the original; he had not been replaced. Furthermore, he was genuinely rejuvenating; though they didn't know how it happened, the fact was undeniable.

Having secured definitive proof, Abdullah confronted the old master directly in a private evening meeting, pointing out the reality of his rejuvenation and asking the old master to show him the path forward.

However, the old master remained extremely tight-lipped. Even when King Abdullah directly accused him of rejuvenation, he completely denied it. No matter how Abdullah persuaded him, he refused to reveal the truth of the matter.

Unable to extract useful information from the old master, Abdullah was unwilling to give up. He dispatched numerous personnel to Hong Kong to investigate, tracing the old master’s movements, contacts, and associated institutions from two years prior. Slowly, through the aggregation of intelligence from various sources, Abdullah arrived at an astonishing conclusion: the old master’s rejuvenation had been accomplished with the help of the Starry Sky Group.

This conclusion was not reached lightly. When Abdullah began focusing on the old master’s health, the elder of the He family in Macau also started appearing frequently in the media, as if his health had miraculously recovered overnight. Abdullah, casting his net over Hong Kong and Macau, naturally noticed the anomalous changes in the elder of the He family’s health. He also analyzed the elder’s movements, which pointed equally toward the Starry Sky Group. Coupled with the Starry Sky Group’s current prominence in biotechnology and their successful creation of many practical products—already proving their unique expertise in bio-medicine—it was entirely plausible that the Starry Sky Group possessed the capability to reverse aging in humans. While this conclusion sounded sensational, it was the most rational explanation.

After reaching this conclusion, Abdullah deliberated for a period, settled the political affairs of Saudi Arabia, and then, under the guise of an official visit, led a delegation to begin his journey in Hong Kong.

On the first day the “Save the Earth” organization demonstrated at Starry Sky City, under the obstruction of numerous police officers on site, there were no intense confrontations with the security personnel of Starry Sky Security. This greatly disappointed the waiting journalists, as the anticipated bloody clash did not materialize, meaning there was no headline-worthy news, and their newspapers wouldn’t sell well.

On the second day, the demonstrators of “Save the Earth” reappeared near Starry Sky City at the appointed time. They continued shouting slogans from their boats, condemning the Starry Sky Group for disrupting the ecological balance of the Earth and labeling them a villainous corporation. Following Liu Hui’s instructions, Wu Yuanjia prevented his security personnel from engaging in verbal spats; since a large police presence was maintaining order, they weren’t worried about the extremist group causing trouble.

Faced with the Starry Sky Group’s restraint, the leader of the “Save the Earth” demonstration grew rather self-satisfied, believing Starry Sky Group was weak and easily bullied. Consequently, he exerted himself even more vigorously on site, organizing his subordinates to launch various accusations and condemnations against the Starry Sky Group. He also agreed to interviews with the media. During these interviews, the leader spoke eloquently and passionately, simultaneously articulating his organization’s mission and vehemently denouncing the Starry Sky Group’s retrograde actions, completely styling himself as a noble individual utterly devoted to environmental protection, willing to sacrifice everything for his beloved cause.

The leader’s righteous appearance, combined with his silver tongue, managed to make many people believe his words. The journalists, initially disappointed by the lack of intense confrontation, found that the leader’s self-praise and eloquent speeches attracted favorable attention, causing his reputation to soar to new heights in Hong Kong.

By the third day, members of the “Save the Earth” organization once again arrived punctually near Starry Sky City on their vessel to protest against the Starry Sky Group. Moreover, fueled by the perceived great victory of the previous day and the leader’s impassioned rhetoric, many bored Hong Kong citizens joined the demonstration.

The media reporters were also present at the protest site, still hoping for news of some newsworthy development. Unfortunately, the Starry Sky Group still paid them no mind. They continued their construction work at an unhurried pace, as if entirely unaffected by the demonstrators.

Seeing that the Starry Sky Group was adopting a passive stance again today, the leader became galvanized, shouting slogans with even greater fervor, inciting the accompanying demonstrators nearby to shout louder. The scene was soon filled with an impassioned clamor.

Just as this demonstration reached its peak, the reporters on their yachts suddenly grew agitated, and their small vessel began moving toward the “Save the Earth” organization’s protest ship.
