Kang Shanxing immediately raised his hand in salute: "Yes, Marshal Huo!"
With complicated feelings, he turned and left.
Because five minutes earlier, Huo Yushen had returned with Meng Guanghui from the East Tianyuan God Country to the Special Security Bureau headquarters on Beichen Star.
Huo Yushen didn't even have time to rest after returning. He almost immediately gathered his men, took them on the Bat-style Fighter Jet, and then activated Space Warp, arriving here in just three minutes.
Kang Shanxing had been completely baffled, not understanding how Huo Yushen had discovered that Xia Chujian was in danger.
It wasn't until he took his team down and looked at his Quantum Optical Brain wrist device in the Flying Vehicle that he saw Xia Chujian's distress message.
Kang Shanxing was dumbfounded.
He had been in meetings all day and hadn't had time to check the messages on his Quantum Optical Brain.
Huo Yushen and Meng Guanghui had returned so suddenly that their meeting had just ended.
Could it be that Xia Chujian had also sent a distress message to Marshal Huo?
Kang Shanxing thought, feeling that Xia Chujian's luck was truly extraordinary! Meng Guanghui had been trapped in the East Tianyuan God Country for so long that even Huo Yushen's personal rescue mission hadn't brought him back immediately.
He had been worried sick about them both all day.
Who would have thought that just as they returned safely, Xia Chujian's distress message would arrive…
Kang Shanxing estimated that this situation couldn't be resolved without Huo Yushen's intervention! And coincidentally, Huo Yushen had returned at just the right time, perhaps seeing her distress message immediately.
So, even without him, the "temporary guardian," doing anything, Huo Yushen had already arranged the operation.
Kang Shanxing's mind raced with thoughts as he quickly followed Jiang Yuanshu to the front of Ji Shunliang's Starry Sky Cruiser.
At this moment, the bottom Hold door of the Starry Sky Cruiser finally opened, and Jiang Yuanshu led her Audit and Discipline Department personnel inside in single file.
Kang Shanxing also led his men in.
Then, the two of them stood in the Captain's Room of this Falcon-class B-Type Starry Sky Cruiser, looking at the room full of newly deceased people, and exchanged glances.
Kang Shanxing clicked his tongue and said, "Did this guy die so quickly to end it all and prevent us from finding out what he did?"
Jiang Yuanshu glanced at him and said coldly, "This is the Audit and Discipline Department's business. Colonel Kang, don't overstep your bounds."
Kang Shanxing smiled and said, "Indeed, it's none of my business. I'm here to appoint a Temporary Captain of the General Logistics Department Execution Brigade."
Jiang Yuanshu looked away and began collecting evidence at the scene.
Kang Shanxing then opened the communicator in the Captain's Room and said to the entire Execution Brigade, "This is Kang Shanxing, Director of the Intelligence Division of the Special Security Bureau headquarters. Ji Shunliang, Captain of the General Logistics Department Execution Brigade, has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The Special Security Bureau's Audit and Discipline Department will investigate."
"Until the Military officially appoints a new captain, I, on behalf of the Special Security Bureau, temporarily appoint Yan Nanhong as the Temporary Captain."
Yan Nanhong was someone Kang Shanxing had found in his Intelligence Division's roster.
He was a distant relative of the Yan Clan, the new Viscount family that had replaced the Zhuo Clan, and had been serving in the General Logistics Department Execution Brigade.
He had no connection to the Ji Family, to which Ji Shunliang belonged.
Moreover, the key was that this person was very capable, but Ji Shunliang, occupying the position, was afraid that Yan Nanhong would replace him, so he suppressed him in every way.
Yan Nanhong was usually very low-key and didn't want his family to conflict with the Ji Family, so he had endured it all.
Kang Shanxing thought this choice was indeed very good.
Huo Yushen nodded slightly after hearing the appointment.
Kang Shanxing, to say nothing else, had not wasted his time in the Intelligence Division these past few years.
Thinking this, Huo Yushen glanced at Meng Guanghui again.
This was a fierce general, but not a wise one.
But as long as he wasn't useless, with ability, used in the right place, he could exert maximum effectiveness.
At this time, Meng Guanghui was anxiously scratching his head, pleading with Huo Yushen, "Marshal Huo! Let me go over there and see Chujian!"
"A young girl like her, encountering something like this, must be so distressed…"
"I need to comfort her properly!"
Huo Yushen looked at him with a cold face and said, "How are you going to comfort her?"
Meng Guanghui patted his chest: "I have to let her know that I, her leader, have made a great contribution this time!"
"I should be promoted to Senior Colonel!"
"I'll be able to protect her in the future!"
"She doesn't need to be so young, risking her life in the hail of bullets. It's really too pitiful..."
Huo Yushen: "..."
Is Meng Guanghui talking about the Xia Chujian he knows? When did this girl become associated with the word "pitiful"?
Huo Yushen didn't say much, and said coldly: "Do you know what mission she carried out this time?"
"Do you know what the Longevity Flying Fish she brought back is?"
"Do you know why Ji Shunliang led people to intercept her?"
Three sentences left Meng Guanghui speechless.
Huo Yushen said expressionlessly: "You don't know anything, yet you say you want to support her."
"I think if you were to support her, her bones would be rattling."
The corner of Meng Guanghui's mouth twitched, and he said sheepishly: "Marshal Huo, I was just anxious for a moment, isn't there you..."
Huo Yushen withdrew his gaze, sat down behind his desk, and said, "Go, bring her up."
Meng Guanghui immediately stood at attention and saluted happily: "Yes, Marshal Huo! I guarantee to complete the mission!"
He took back his Quantum Optical Brain and replied to Xia Chujian.
[Meng Guanghui]: Chujian, your leader is back! Quickly open your Cruiser, I'm coming to pick you up!
Then, he rushed out of Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet and came to Xia Chujian's Starry Sky Cruiser opposite.
Xia Chujian saw this reply, her face lit up with joy, and she immediately replied.
[Xia Chujian]: Leader, you're finally back! The leader has returned, let the whole world celebrate! Throwing flowers!
Then she opened the bottom Hold passage of the Starry Sky Cruiser.
Meng Guanghui drove his Small Combat Aircraft directly into the bottom Hold hall of Xia Chujian's Starry Sky Cruiser.
When he stood in Xia Chujian's Captain's Room, looking at the heroic Xia Chujian, he laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to her.
Xia Chujian took off her fully enclosed helmet, shook hands with Meng Guanghui enthusiastically, and said, "I knew I was lucky!"
"It was the leader who saw my message and came to rescue me as soon as possible, right!"
Hearing her say that, Meng Guanghui felt a little embarrassed.
He touched his head and muttered, "I wasn't the first to see it, Marshal Huo was the first to see it, and then he arranged the rescue operation."
Xia Chujian was very surprised: "Marshal Huo? Marshal Huo is here too?"
She knew that Huo Yushen had gone to rescue Meng Guanghui, but she didn't know if he had returned.
When she saw the Bat-style Fighter Jet, she thought Kang Shanxing was driving it.
So she didn't know that Huo Yushen had also come.
Meng Guanghui nodded and said frankly: "Yes, if Marshal Huo hadn't seen it immediately and quickly arranged the operation, Colonel Kang and I wouldn't have been so fast."
Xia Chujian felt a little complicated.
She put Huo Yushen last when sending him the message, but she didn't expect that the person who received her message last was the first to come to rescue her.
Xia Chujian asked again: "What about Colonel Kang? Didn't he see it immediately?"
Meng Guanghui said: "He was still in a meeting when we came back. When we at the Special Security Bureau have meetings, we generally don't bring Quantum Optical Brains."
Xia Chujian: "..."
What a miscalculation.
If Huo Yushen hadn't suddenly returned at this time, she would have really been in trouble today...
Just thinking about it, three Interstellar Spaceships appeared on the three-dimensional virtual display screen in the open space of the Captain's Room.
This is an interstellar spaceship capable of short-range Space Warp.
Not only is it expensive, but technological controls make it priceless.
Those who can own it, apart from the interstellar shipping companies designated by the Cabinet, are the few top Nobles.
The newly arrived interstellar spaceship on the left has the Storm Sea icon.
The newly arrived interstellar spaceship in the middle has an icon of an altar.
The newly arrived interstellar spaceship on the right has an icon of a double helix structure.
Meng Guanghui stroked his chin, looked at the three newly appeared interstellar spaceships, and wondered, "These are the Quan Clan, Su Clan, and Li Clan's interstellar spaceships, why are they also here to wade into this muddy water?"
Xia Chujian said dissatisfiedly, "Leader, why do you call it wading into muddy water? Where is my place muddy water?"
"Besides, I also asked them for help. I appreciate them coming."
This time it was Meng Guanghui's turn to be surprised: "What? You even asked the Li Clan for help?! When did you get to know people from their family?"
Meng Guanghui knew Xia Chujian's relationship with the Quan Clan, and also knew that Su Buyan appreciated Xia Chujian very much.
Although he didn't know that Su Buyan had become Xia Chujian's Master, Su Buyan never concealed his intention to protect her in front of them, so he guessed that there might be a private relationship between Xia Chujian and Su Buyan.
But the Li Clan was strange.
Because in their Special Security Bureau's files, there was no record of Xia Chujian having any contact with the Li Clan.
When Meng Guanghui mentioned "Li Clan", Xia Chujian was also dumbfounded.
She glanced at the interstellar spaceship with the double helix structure icon and said curiously, "This is the Li Clan's spaceship? Is that their family crest?"
Meng Guanghui nodded randomly.
Xia Chujian spread her hands and said, "I really don't know them, and I didn't ask the Li Clan for help. Who knows why they came? Maybe they want to take advantage of the situation..."
Meng Guanghui felt a heart attack, clutching his chest and said, "Chujian, during the days I was away, you didn't cause me any big trouble again, did you?!"
A subordinate who is too capable also gives his superior a headache!
Meng Guanghui was afraid that he would not be able to handle this disciple's affairs, so he insisted on mining to accumulate military merits in order to get promoted.
But looking at Xia Chujian's posture, he felt that the speed of his promotion could not keep up with the speed at which this disciple caused trouble.
Xia Chujian was a little guilty, her eyes darting left and right, and she said stubbornly, "Leader, you are overthinking it! I am such a timid and fearful person! How could I cause trouble? — It's all trouble that comes to me!"
Meng Guanghui was amused by her.
At this time, Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet also received video call invitations from Su Buyan, Quan Yuxun, and Zong Ruoan.
Huo Yushen first clicked on Su Buyan's call invitation.
Su Buyan was wearing a work uniform, his eyebrows, like two silkworms, were twisted up and down, and he said unhappily, "What's going on? Isn't Chujian your subordinate? You actually put her in danger and asked for help everywhere? — How did you become a superior?!"
Fortunately, Huo Yushen knew Su Buyan's character well and didn't argue with him, but said lightly, "How do you know First Lieutenant Xia is in danger? — She is performing a military mission."
Su Buyan said righteously, "I am her Master! Someone wants to harm her, she asked me for help, this is very reasonable!"
Huo Yushen's eyes narrowed slightly: "...She also asked you for help?"
This is the second update, there will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
