Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After having dinner with Xia Yizhuo and resting for a while, I saw that it was time to set off before I slowly headed towards the fleet with him.

Standing at the fleet's helipad, I watched him put on the fleet uniform that represented identity and restraint again.

Xia Jiumeng sighed a little, thinking that so many days had passed without her realizing it.

"It seems like I'm the one sending you off every time."

"Can't bear to part with you?"

"I'm not really reluctant."

Hearing her words, Xia Yizhuo's originally serious face softened instantly, and he reached out and rubbed his head.

"I know, don't worry, I will contact you if I have the chance."

"There's almost no signal in the deep space tunnel, but we'll be resting outside the tunnel for a while, and we'll be able to contact you then."

"I'm leaving."

Xia Yizhuo looked at the ships ready to go and smiled at Xia Jiumeng.

"Walk slowly without sending."

"Remember to eat well and take care of yourself." After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the ship. His tall figure gradually disappeared from Xia Jiumeng's sight.

A few minutes later, several ships took off from the apron and quickly disappeared into the air.

Xia Jiumeng also boarded the skytrain back to Linkong.

Xia Yizhuo helped book the train ticket, which was a first-class cabin with a fairly large independent room.

Xia Jiumeng turned on the electronic shielding after entering.

A few seconds later there was a knock on the hatch.

"Enter."

The people who came were Dongyun and Miaomiao.

"boss."

"elder sister."

Xia Jiumeng nodded and asked Miaomiao, "How is it? Are you adapting?"

"Well, sister, are we going to live in Linkong?" Miaomiao asked after sitting down.

"Yes, Tianxing is a little dangerous for you now. Brother Dongyun and I are busy with follow-up matters and may not be able to take good care of you."

Dongyun will be busy with the reconstruction of the floating island later, and her base is in Linkong, so she will not stay in Tianxing all the time.

Although Miaomiao has been "dead", it is impossible for Miaomiao to be locked up on the floating island forever. She also needs to live, study and go out. The possibility of being recognized by Tianxing is too high.

This is very dangerous for Miaomiao.

It’s better to change places. Compared with Tianxing, Linkong is much safer.

"I know sister."

"Will I live with my sister then?"

"Maybe not, but my sister often works near where you live, so we can see each other often." Xia Jiumeng rubbed Miaomiao's head.

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng smiled and turned to look at Dongyun. "Is Miaomiao's new identity ready?"

"It's done. I'm the temporary adoptive name. Mr. Li helped find the adoption agency." Dong Yun said as he took out a tablet and showed her Miaomiao's new identity information.

The information of Dong Yun and others had been hacked and compiled into the official identity system in advance, so no one could detect any problems.

He was a well-off person, so he could naturally go through the adoption procedures reasonably and smoothly.

"As for the name, Miaomiao said she wanted to be called Xia Miao."

Dongyun relayed Miaomiao's words to Xia Jiumeng.

Xia Jiumeng looked at Miaomiao in surprise. "Miaomiao, do you want to take your sister's last name?"

Miaomiao nodded and raised a soft smile, "Yeah!"

"Sister saved me and gave me a second life. Miaomiao wants to take her last name. Is that okay?"

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

"Thank you sister!"

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the sensible and lovely Miaomiao.

She is so well-behaved, so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

Originally, he was a child raised by his parents, but now... his family has been broken up by the schemes of some people, and he has been forced to grow up.

After discussing the construction details of the aviation technology company with Dongyun for a while, she asked Dongyun to take everyone to the first-class cabin next door to rest.

As soon as they left, Xia Jiumeng's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, she saw that it was Tao Tao calling.

Click Connect.

"Jiu Meng, I heard you are coming back?"

"kindness."

"That's great. You don't know, I had no one to accompany me during the days you were away. I was almost bored to death." The girl said pitifully.

"Then I'll come back and add some water for you." Xia Jiumeng smiled.

She had some impression of the girl Tao Tao, who was quite carefree. When she first came here, she was quite wary of her, but after getting along with her for a while, she found that there was really no problem with her, so she was no longer on guard.

"Thank you so much. I heard from Sister Nan that you went to a wedding. What kind of wedding did you go to for so long?"

"Well, it's from an old friend. His family is very strict about rules, so it took a bit of time."

"Oh, then I'll wait for you to come back... Wait, the team leader suddenly called me. Let's not talk about it now. Let's have dinner when you come back." Tao Tao said and hung up the phone quickly.

When two young girls go out, they naturally either go out for dinner or go shopping.

"....." Xia Jiumeng looked at her phone and shook her head helplessly.

It's turbulent.

When I put my phone back into my pocket, my hand touched a piece of paper.

"Paper?"

I took it out and looked at it. It was a yellowed and old piece of paper with cute doodles and childish handwriting on it.

----Xia Yi Zhou He Hao special volume, valid for 100 years.

“…”

She gave this note 8.5 points because there was 1.5 points in the language.

Xia Yizhuo, what a joke! He's so grown up, but he's still like a child.

I guess he has a bunch of reconciliation rolls like this?

She remembered that when she was little, Xia Yizhuo seemed to trick her into writing many of them. Tsk, it must have been premeditated.

After thinking about it, he took out his phone again and took a picture of the reconciled scroll. Then he opened Xia Yizhou's chat box and sent him a message:

[Xia Jiumeng: Xia Yizhuo, you childish ghost, picture.]

.....

When they returned to Linkong, it was already afternoon. Xia Jiumeng sent messages to Li Shen and the others one after another. The first one to reply was Li Shen.

【Li Shen: Are you back?】

[Xia Jiumeng: Yeah, I just got off the bus. Are you free tonight? ]

Li Shen glanced at the consultation information on his computer. [Li Shen: I might have to work overtime. You don't have to wait for me to eat.]

[Xia Jiumeng: Okay.]

[Li Shen: What do you want to eat for supper tonight?]

【Xia Jiumeng: Chocolate Tiramisu! 】

【Li Shen: Okay, go home and rest first.】

【Xia Jiumeng: Yes, you are busy.】

Qin Che only looked at other people's messages after finishing the conversation with Li Shen. He just replied with a picture.

It looks like the negotiation table is on.

Shen Xinghui didn't come back. It was most likely that he went somewhere to kill stray bodies.

It must be said that this person is definitely the association's most dedicated employee of the year.

Either sleeping, eating or playing wandering. Of course, now there is an additional activity, which is to occasionally "date" with her.

After receiving the news that she had returned, Qi Yu sent several messages.

Qi Yu: What took you so long? I thought you were lost in Tianxing City and almost called the police.

【Qi Yu: How are you? Are you okay? 】

Xia Jiu dreamed that he didn't seem to tell Qi Yu the purpose of his going to Tianxing. He just said that he had accepted a private commission to investigate something and could not contact him for the time being.

[Xia Jiumeng: Fortunately, there is no danger. It's just that things are a bit complicated and it delayed us for quite a while.]

Qi Yu: Oh, I'll pick you up and have dinner with you.

【Qi Yu: I just happened to find a hidden gem of a restaurant. 】

Xia Jiumeng looked at the time and saw that there were still a few hours before dinner time.

[Xia Jiumeng: Sure, but let's go later. I have to go back to the association to do some things first.]

She did have to go back to the association.

Qi Yu: Okay.

Qi Yu: Then you better hurry up, or I'll starve to death.

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help laughing when she saw what Qi Yu said. This guy.

[Xia Jiumeng: I know~]

She took a taxi to the association. When she arrived at the association, she saw Jiang Nan waiting there. She nodded and followed her to the office.

"Sit down." Jiang Nan poured her a cup of hot water before sitting down behind the desk.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

"It's okay, I have my own purpose."

"Anyway, thanks to the news you brought us, we have avoided a lot of trouble." Jiang Nan smiled and took out a file from the drawer beside him and pushed it to her.

"Here's some information about the official government you requested."

After the first call, she asked Xia Jiumeng what kind of compensation she needed. Although it was not an official investigation, it provided information to the association and avoided trouble. It was impossible for the association not to express its opinion.

Xia Jiumeng told her that she wanted information about the official government, so she agreed.

"Thank you." Xia Jiumeng took the document.

"You're welcome. I don't know what you want official information for, but the officials are in a rather awkward position right now."

Xia Jiumeng: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Nan took a sip of water and said, "Although Country Z is still under official government supervision, due to the presence of wandering bodies and energy danger zones, they are actually somewhat powerless in many places."

"With the emergence of core energy, the family has experienced rapid development, and the official constraints on it have become increasingly weak."

"Not to mention the frequent accidents caused by stray animals, the serious shortage of official manpower, and it's already very difficult to maintain order and normal operations."

"Why?" Xia Jiumeng looked through the information and found that it was indeed similar to what Jiang Nan said.

Although the government still supervises Country Z, many rules and regulations are constantly being revised due to the emergence of rogue bodies and core nuclear energy.

However, due to the rampant wandering bodies and some limitations of technology, they need to protect the safety of the people and maintain social order, while at the same time trying not to lag behind the times too much. They are indeed a bit exhausted.

However, these rising companies and forces are unwilling to share their research with the government, which has led to the government lagging far behind in technology and manpower, forcing it to negotiate terms and cooperate with these companies.

To put it simply, the current official authorities appear to be authoritative and strong, but in reality they are stretched thin.

Fortunately, with the support of many people and some old families, the situation is not too bad.

"With dangerous areas, occasional riots by vagrants, and constant small-scale actions by other countries, the government itself is seriously short of manpower."

Jiang Nan pointed out the association's task list and pointed at the long-term bounty on it and said, "This is one of the official long-term commissions."

"Also, the association's various branches' weekly cleanup tasks and accident support tasks are all carried out in cooperation with the authorities."

"Where do you think our salaries come from?" Jiang Nan said with a smile. "The association has a large staff. We can't afford to pay for so many people's salaries, bonuses, weapons, and other expenses with just the recovered cores."

"Moreover, the government and the association are working together in depth."

This in-depth cooperation requires a lot of thought.

Xia Jiumeng nodded. "No wonder."

"thank you, I know now."

Xia Jiumeng returned the document to Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Although I don't know what you think, the official is definitely more trustworthy than some institutions. If you need help, the association can also help."

"I know, but sometimes I'm curious. Some forces are acting so recklessly, but why the authorities don't take any action?" Xia Jiumeng answered honestly.

After all, Ever’s behavior was quite blatant to a certain extent, but the authorities did not say anything.

Jiang Nan understood for a moment and sighed, "It's not that I don't care, it's just that it's hard to manage."

"Those forces hold a lot of things in their hands. If there is no obvious mistake, it will be difficult for the authorities to take action."

“Otherwise it will be hard to convince the public.”

After all, without evidence, there can be no conviction.

Xia Jiumeng nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Sister Nan. I'll go back and rest first."

Arrest people and get involved in dirty work, but these people always clean up their messes, so the authorities can hardly find any evidence against them and naturally cannot do anything to them.

After Jiang Nan said this and combined it with the information she had just seen, she roughly understood the current situation of the authorities.

But the authorities must have their own trump cards, otherwise they would not allow a neural network company like Ever to be regulated.
