Teng Pingmao looked at the photo, tears streaming down his face.
But he didn't say anything, just caressed the photo with his fingers. The photo paper seemed to have been rubbed many times, and the originally smooth and flawless photo was now covered with fingerprints.
Xia Chujian's heart beat faster.
Fortunately, the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha completely concealed her, and the change in her aura did not transmit into the air.
Although Teng Pingmao was a high-level Gene Evolver, and at this moment he was wholeheartedly focused on the photo, he still didn't notice anything.
Xia Chujian clenched her fist, wanting to knock Teng Pingmao unconscious and force him to tell her what his relationship with that female soldier was! The experience on Senze Star had a profound impact on Xia Chujian.
And the female soldier who gave her a lot of information left an especially deep impression on her.
She had wondered, why did that seemingly ordinary female Marine Corps know so much? Some of the information should have been top secret...
For example, the coordinates of the Longevity Flying Fish, and that Rong Zhongruo was the mastermind.
How did she know? Xia Chujian was also taking things one step at a time on Senze Star back then.
It was only later that she realized that the female Marine Corps hadn't been wrong about anything, which left an even deeper impression.
Xia Chujian's mind raced with various thoughts, but she didn't act rashly.
Originally, she was following Teng Pingmao to repay Zong Ruoan's life-saving grace.
Now that she discovered Teng Pingmao was related to that female Marine Corps, she couldn't let him go even more.
Xia Chujian took a deep look at him and quickly left the living room.
The door of the villa was half-closed, and the two security guards were still standing guard at the entrance.
Xia Chujian silently brushed past them and flew into the air.
...
That night, Xia Chujian was so excited that she couldn't sleep after returning to the hotel, and kept chatting with Seven Lù.
"Seven Lù, have you found Tong Xiao Hui's information?"
"Master, I have. According to Seven Lù's search on the Star Network and the First Interstellar Fleet's internal network, Tong Xiao Hui is the Starry Sky female Marine Corps you last saw."
"If she were still alive, she would be twenty-five years old this year, from a poor background, without parents since childhood, and grew up in an orphanage on Shaofu Star."
"After adulthood, she joined the army and became a Starry Sky Marine Corps in the First Interstellar Fleet."
"She is very smart and has made many contributions. She originally had the opportunity to go to Military Academy, but gave up for various reasons."
"However, according to the information Seven Lù found, she doesn't have a boyfriend."
"Her social network account is also very clean, with only some pictures of cooking."
Xia Chujian looked at the account Seven Lù showed her, and then said, "This is not her real social media account."
"These are more like a facade on the surface, she should have her own private account."
"Seven Lù, can you find a way to find it?"
Seven Lù's childish voice was a little uncertain: "Master, it's not impossible, but it's too difficult. There are no clues, purely relying on data collection and brute force, it may take a long time."
Xia Chujian sighed and murmured, "Forget it then. Actually, what's the point of digging out her private account? She's no longer in this world."
"Let her keep the last bit of privacy..."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she took out a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution and drank it all.
After replenishing the nutrients, Xia Chujian's brain worked even faster.
She discovered that Tong Xiao Hui grew up in an orphanage, and Teng Pingmao also grew up in an orphanage...
Xia Chujian immediately asked, "Is the orphanage where Tong Xiao Hui grew up the same place where Teng Pingmao grew up?"
Seven Lù gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, Master, it is the same orphanage. This orphanage is very large and can accommodate more than 50,000 orphans at a time. Over the years, it has nurtured millions of orphans from Commoners backgrounds."
Xia Chujian let out a long breath, thinking, she had finally found the intersection between the two.
But this point, if one didn't know Tong Xiao Hui's later experiences, few people would associate her with Teng Pingmao.
Because in that orphanage, they weren't the only two orphans.
Didn't Seven Lù say that the orphanage could accommodate 50,000 orphans at a time, and over the years, it had fostered millions of orphans! Who would think to go to an ordinary orphanage and check them one by one? Xia Chujian had an idea and asked, "Seven Lù, can you make me a new Face Mask?"
Seven Lù said cautiously, "Master, that requires bionic materials, and the Empire restricts the purchase of bionic materials."
"You need a certificate from a school or laboratory to buy them."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She had an idea, but no means to realize it.
She paced anxiously in her hotel room for a few laps, and finally made up her mind to send a message to Huo Yushen.
[Xia Chujian]: Marshal Huo, can you do me a favor and make me a Face Mask that looks like this right away?
Xia Chujian took a screenshot of the image left by the Starry Sky Marine, Tong Xiao Hui, and sent it to Huo Yushen.
[Xia Chujian]: It has to be exactly the same...
In this photo, Tong Xiao Hui was affected by strong nuclear radiation, her hair was almost gone, and her facial features seemed to be melting, making her look blurry.
Huo Yushen was actually staying in the same hotel as Xia Chujian.
He saw the message Xia Chujian sent, raised his eyebrows, and found it very interesting.
He also followed Xia Chujian to Teng Pingmao's villa tonight.
But his target was Xia Chujian, not Teng Pingmao, so he didn't care what Teng Pingmao did.
Therefore, when Xia Chujian took out this photo, Huo Yushen also found it a little familiar.
His memory was amazing, and he quickly thought of Teng Pingmao's new girlfriend.
He had all of Teng Pingmao's information here, which came from the Senate's Eligibility Committee.
Because everyone who wants to run for Councilor must submit their detailed resume, and then the Special Security Bureau verifies their identity.
If you don't pass the identity verification of the Special Security Bureau, you won't be eligible to run at all.
So Teng Pingmao's information was already in the Special Security Bureau's database, and it had passed the Special Security Bureau's identity verification program.
And the information of Teng Pingmao's first love girlfriend and new girlfriend is also in the database of the Special Security Bureau.
Therefore, Huo Yushen knew what Teng Pingmao's first love girlfriend and new girlfriend looked like.
In his opinion, these two women looked completely different, but of course, their family background was quite similar.
They were both from Commoners backgrounds, but they were excellent enough to pull their entire families into citizens by themselves.
Maybe this kind of woman is Teng Pingmao's favorite.
The photo Xia Chujian gave him at this time showed that this person looked a bit like Teng Pingmao's new girlfriend, but not much.
Because this person's facial features seemed to be melted, with a waxy texture.
Huo Yushen didn't reply immediately this time, but pondered for a while, and went directly to the door of Xia Chujian's hotel room and rang the doorbell.
Xia Chujian was very surprised.
Who would come to her so late? She vigilantly turned on the monitoring system in the room and looked at the situation outside the door.
Standing outside the door was a tall man with ordinary looks, the kind of face that you would never remember again once he walked into the crowd.
But she remembered this person! This was the man who came down from the Interstellar Spaceship with her and stayed in the same hotel!
She was worried that he was tailing her at the time, so she deliberately talked to him.
But the man's surprised expression made her think she was overthinking it...
Now that this person was ringing the doorbell at her hotel door, Xia Chujian was sure that she was not overthinking it!
This person was tailing her!
Thinking like this, Xia Chujian paid more attention to the person at the door.
She looked at this person from the monitoring system and suddenly realized that his figure was really good, and the way he stood impressed Xia Chujian deeply.
She inexplicably felt that this person looked a bit like Huo Yushen.
But how could Huo Yushen come to Kanli Star? Just as Xia Chujian was hesitating, a message popped up on the Quantum Optical Brain Wristwatch Carrier on her wrist.
[Huo Yushen]: Open the door, I'm outside.
Xia Chujian's eyes widened.
It really was Huo Yushen?! She didn't believe it! Xia Chujian cautiously opened the door a crack, looking at the man outside with suspicion: "...Marshal Huo, you owe me five million, when are you going to pay me back?"
Huo Yushen's lips twitched.
She was still testing if he was the real deal...
Huo Yushen's voice was stern and deep: "I don't owe you money."
As soon as Xia Chujian heard that cold, emotionless voice, she felt relieved.
That was the right vibe.
It really was Huo Yushen.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and stepped aside to let him in.
After Huo Yushen came in, he suddenly said, "This is your room, don't let people in easily in the future."
"If you want to talk, you can go to the public areas downstairs."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Was he lecturing her, or teaching her? Xia Chujian shrugged: "Marshal Huo, if it weren't for you, you would be greeted by a Large Sniper Rifle pointed at your forehead."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He really hadn't expected this girl to point a gun at him!
Huo Yushen withdrew his gaze and stopped talking nonsense.
He directly pulled out a virtual display screen and asked her, "What's going on with this photo? Where did you get it?"
Xia Chujian said, "Didn't I show you the video from Senze Star?"
"It was cut off from that."
Huo Yushen said, "One of the five hundred female Marine Corps? Tell me, what's so special about her, why do you want to impersonate her?"
Xia Chujian said, "As expected of Marshal Huo, you know that I want a Face Mask of her appearance, so I must be impersonating her..."
Huo Yushen said, "You're not stupid, and I'm not an idiot."
Xia Chujian nodded: "Then I'll make it short."
"I suspect this female Marine Corps is related to Teng Pingmao."
Huo Yushen interrupted her: "...I haven't seen any information related to this female Marine Corps in Teng Pingmao's files."
Xia Chujian said, "That's why the relationship is even bigger."
"I can be sure that they have a very close relationship, but neither your Special Security Bureau nor the Zong Family has found out..."
Huo Yushen interrupted her again: "The Zong Family didn't find out, not because the Zong Family is incompetent, but because someone within the Zong Family doesn't want Zong Ruoan to be elected."
Xia Chujian suddenly understood: "No wonder! The Zong Family is such a high-ranking wealthy family, how could they not even be able to deal with a Teng Pingmao!"
This is the second update! There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight! Don't just keep the story, okay? Isn't it good to follow the reading? Following the reading is also an important indicator of the book
