Huo Yushen's heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged. His tone was no longer so emotionlessly cold, but slightly warmer as he asked, "...You really want to save them? Why? Do you know them?"
Xia Chujian observed his expression and quickly realized that Huo Yushen's attitude had changed. She immediately stopped resisting and said, "Marshal Huo, to be honest, I don't really know them. At least, I've never met them before."
"But to say I don't know them at all would be a lie. Because I recognized that they are my fellow townsfolk, all from Mulan City on Guiyuan Star."
"Two of the girls are even my junior classmates from Mulan City No. 1 High School."
"The situation was urgent at the time. I recognized their school uniforms, and that's why I acted impulsively... but I don't regret it."
Huo Yushen mused, "Three days ago, a Interstellar Spaceship did go missing."
"However, according to the company that owns the spaceship, the Starship flying from Guiyuan Star was lost due to a Magnetic Field Storm... This kind of thing is not uncommon in interstellar travel."
Xia Chujian's eyes widened. "What?! They didn't even say it was attacked by Star Pirates?! Then the compensation..."
Huo Yushen said, "If it was lost due to a Magnetic Field Storm, then it was due to an irresistible natural force."
"In this case, according to the insurance terms, the insurance company doesn't have to pay a single cent."
Xia Chujian gasped, muttering, "So if I hadn't saved them and let them commit suicide, would they have died for nothing?"
In other words, ordinary people still want to rely on suicide to defraud insurance?
Don't be ridiculous. The insurance company and the spaceship operating company have already blocked all your paths! Huo Yushen nodded slowly. "That's right. They wouldn't even know in death that they died for nothing... Now, do you want to tell them?"
Xia Chujian bit her lip. "How can they do this?! Is there no way to rectify those unscrupulous insurance companies?! And those Interstellar Spaceship operating companies that discriminate against their passengers!"
Huo Yushen offered a solution. "Now that they haven't died, they can come forward as witnesses to prove that the Interstellar Spaceship was not hit by an irresistible natural force, but by the Star Pirates organization 'Bodhi Leaf'."
"I can have the Special Security Bureau endorse it, so the insurance company will at least have to compensate the deceased according to the insurance terms."
Xia Chujian sneered. "Is it enough to just compensate according to the terms? Shouldn't they be sued for deliberately deceiving their passengers and the public, and fined huge sums of money?!"
Huo Yushen said casually, "I don't understand this. You can consult legal authorities and let public opinion supervise it."
Xia Chujian understood, blinking her eyes and saying, "Then I definitely need to consult Chief Quan Da, but besides Chief Quan Da, Young Master Zong should also be able to help..."
Huo Yushen looked at her, saying seriously, "You have good ideas, but have you discussed it with the victims? Do they agree?"
Xia Chujian waved her hand, saying confidently, "I will convince them. Marshal Huo, you don't need to worry about that."
"Oh, right, I also want to say that among the students and instructors I brought back, there is a spy from the Star Pirates Bodhi Leaf!"
"Do you have a way to find this spy?!"
Huo Yushen said without hesitation, "This is the Special Security Bureau's task. I will have Kang Shanxing handle it."
Xia Chujian looked hesitant.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Huo Yushen saw it and asked calmly.
Xia Chujian mustered her courage and said, "...It's not that I look down on Colonel Kang, but this is such a big deal, aren't you going to handle it personally? Will Colonel Kang alone be able to hold the line?"
Huo Yushen was almost amused by her, but he kept a straight face, saying seriously, "What 'hold the line'? Do you think this is street thugs fighting and paying protection fees?"
Xia Chujian pursed her lips.
Huo Yushen continued, "Little Kang is very capable, especially in identifying spies. Okay, I have something else to do, I won't chat with you..."
Just as he was about to close the video call, Xia Chujian said again, "Marshal Huo, has my leader not returned yet?"
She now felt a faint unease when she thought of Meng Guanghui.
Could it be... Meng Guanghui hasn't returned yet! Huo Yushen stared at her, saying lightly, "Soon, I'm just about to pick him up."
Xia Chujian's heart immediately rose and fell.
Huo Yushen is going to pick up Meng Guanghui? Meng Guanghui is really still trapped on Eze Star and hasn't returned?!
Then Huo Yushen going there can save him? Xia Chujian has been to that place herself, and it's not just dangerous!
Xia Chujian's fist loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, hesitating for a full three minutes before stammering, "If you're going to pick up Leader Meng, should you consider using a higher-end Mecha?"
"For example, you can borrow a set of Master Su's new Mecha... it will be very useful."
She was referring to the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
Xia Chujian, who has no Mental Strength, was able to rely on the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha to retreat safely from that Eze Star.
Huo Yushen's Mental Strength level is so high, with the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, he will be even more powerful! But hearing this, Huo Yushen was confirmed that Su Buyan was not only not ignorant of that place, but also shared his latest mecha research results with his apprentice! Huo Yushen slowly revealed a smile, seemingly unintentionally said: "You seem to be quite experienced, do you have any other suggestions?"
Xia Chujian thought, although the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha is strong, it still can't resist the corrosion of the monster venom there.
Only by adding the Eternal Crystal to the Shao Siming Mecha can it truly resist.
But there is no need to tell Huo Yushen this, wait for the opportunity to secretly tell Su Buyan.
Anyway, Seven Lù stores the extra Eternal Crystals in her mecha, and when the time comes, she can get some of the overflowing blue shimmer and send it to Su Buyan as an Exotic Metal.
Xia Chujian made up her mind and quickly asked, "When are you leaving?"
"Immediately."
"Ah? So soon?"
Xia Chujian thought, this is too late, no matter how fast she is, she can't immediately send the Eternal Crystal to Su Buyan.
But if the Shao Siming Mecha does not have the Eternal Crystal Exotic Metal, it will still be dangerous.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but frown, involuntarily revealing a trace of worry.
Huo Yushen said in a deep voice: "Meng Guanghui's side may be a little dangerous, so I must leave immediately."
Xia Chujian was not surprised, she thought, Eze Star is a hellhole, it would be strange if it wasn't dangerous...
But how to help Huo Yushen and Meng Guanghui without revealing too many of her secrets? Xia Chujian had a flash of inspiration and suddenly said, "Since my leader is in danger, Marshal Huo, take me with you! I also want to help!"
Huo Yushen's face turned cold: "You go? What ability do you have? You don't even have Mental Strength, I still have to distract myself to protect you."
Xia Chujian said indignantly: "...But I have good luck!"
Huo Yushen: "..."
He was really speechless.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't stand someone with good luck.
It is indeed good luck.
How can there be such a person in this world? She can even pretend that Tayam's Mental Strength doesn't exist!
Huo Yushen was not unmoved, but thinking that Meng Guanghui was not in that place, but in the East Tianyuan City-State, he gave up the idea again.
The East Tianyuan City-State is not that dangerous, but now there is a "Divinely Blessed Daughter", which makes things complicated.
Xia Chujian's special skills may not be of much use in the East Tianyuan City-State.
If Xia Chujian is targeted by that "God" there, then they will suffer more than they gain...
Huo Yushen pondered and said, "It's not far, it's just in the East Tianyuan City-State, I'll be back in two days."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Not on Eze Star?
Xia Chujian has studied the distribution of interstellar countries.
The East Tianyuan City-State is also one of the countries in the Beichen Galaxy. It is a country that relies on technological development, not a prehistoric place like Eze Star.
She blinked again, thinking, so Meng Guanghui has returned from Eze Star, but he did not return to the Beichen Empire, but went to the East Tianyuan City-State by mistake? Or did he come back long ago, and then went to the East Tianyuan City-State to perform a mission? All of this is possible.
Xia Chujian was anxious, but she didn't dare to talk to Huo Yushen about her guess.
As long as she opens her mouth, she feels that Huo Yushen will definitely guess that she has been to Eze Star...
Seeing that her face was flushed with anxiety, but she could still keep her mouth shut, Huo Yushen thought that she was indeed much stronger than before, at least in this situation, she could still keep secrets.
Huo Yushen no longer tried to get information from Xia Chujian, and said directly: "Something happened in the East Tianyuan City-State, the original Chief Executive Wenren Zhao, claimed that she became the 'Divinely Blessed Daughter'..."
As he said, he told Xia Chujian what had happened in the East Tianyuan City-State in the past few days.
Xia Chujian is a formal employee of the Special Security Bureau and Meng Guanghui's direct subordinate. It is reasonable to tell her the truth, and it is not considered a leak.
Xia Chujian was stunned, and even felt that it was more fantastic than her trip to the Asteroid Belt! "Marshal Huo, isn't the Chief Executive like the emperor of our country? She is really willful! - She said she wouldn't do it, and she just doesn't do it!"
"And the name of the country, can it be changed if you say so?!" Xia Chujian asked in surprise.
Huo Yushen nodded: "Well, the Chief Executive of the East Tianyuan City-State, said to be democratically elected, is actually hereditary in the Wenren family. You said it's like the emperor of our country, you are not wrong."
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched: "So, the East Tianyuan City-State has been changed to the East Tianyuan God Country... It feels weird. What kind of god is it? Is it real? How powerful is it?"
Huo Yushen said, "We don't know the specifics yet, so I have to go and see for myself."
What he didn't say was that not only had all the Beichen Empire's field personnel in the East Tianyuan City-State been arrested.
According to their intelligence, even the Southern Cross Star Kingdom and the West Himalaya Federation's field personnel in the East Tianyuan City-State had been arrested.
Later, the bionic robots he sent in, apart from those that malfunctioned and failed on their own, were also captured.
