Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

886 rubbed its face with its two little hands, looking very satisfied. It loved having a host who understood it so well.

The Jiang Heng of this world looks almost exactly like his original self. In the previous world, he was still a bit immature due to his character design, but now he looks like a fully mature man.

With his silver-rimmed glasses on, he looked aloof and cool, but his smile almost made 886 crash – it was too unfair.

I've completely forgotten that not long ago it was calling him a scumbag.

Lan led four team members to stand in front of Jiang Heng and her group. He glanced at the slightly disheveled group, lingered on Jiang Heng for a few moments, and then turned to Lin Tong beside him.

"Was it you who sent the distress signal?"

Lin Tong and the others suppressed their excitement, straightened their backs, and saluted. "Reporting to Captain Lan! We issued them."

Lan nodded, brought up the personal computer, and tapped the air a few times with her fingertips.

Again.

Feeling the gaze upon him, he frowned. Looking up, he met Jiang Heng's gaze through the light screen that only he could see.

"Is something wrong?"

He put away his personal terminal, his tone becoming more serious. He disliked the man's gaze; it was too aggressive.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Heng. I am the team leader."

Jiang Heng extended a hand towards the person. Lan glanced at it, but her right hand remained hanging at her side, showing no intention of moving.

"so?"

Jiang Heng didn't care about the other party's attitude, and casually withdrew her hand, briefly explaining their mission.

"We may need your help next."

Upon hearing that the other party was from the research institute, Lan barely managed to suppress some of his displeasure. He nodded and turned to walk towards the warship they had approached.

"You guys are quite lucky; you just happened to run into us on our way back from a mission."

Walking behind Lan, Wen Lin casually remarked, then suddenly recalled what she had witnessed on the warship, "How did you manage to lock onto the Shadow Awakening Beast?"

"It was Dr. Jiang who directed us to attack in that direction."

Wen Lin glanced in surprise at the person standing next to their leader. He looked so frail, yet he had such abilities?

Lin Tong leaned closer, looking curious, "What is the Shadow Awakening Beast?"

"Look, it's that pile on the ground."

When they got closer, they could see what had attacked them, but it was already broken beyond recognition.

Jiang Heng knelt down on one knee beside the shards. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the shattered, crystal-like things on the ground were the creatures that destroyed the spacecraft.

What is a Shadow Beast?

Jiang Heng remained crouched, looking up at Lan beside her.

"The creatures unique to Earth Sand Star can conceal their forms and have a strong sense of territory."

Therefore, it's not unjust that they were attacked.

Lan lowered his eyes to look at the person on the ground. He must have been talking about something that interested him, because he finally withdrew that uncomfortable look.

Jiang Heng's two assistants squatted down beside her with curious expressions, and very conscientiously took out their isolation gloves and testing equipment and handed them to Jiang Heng.

The red light emitted by the detector scanned a relatively large fragment back and forth several times. A beeping sound rang out, and the scan results came out. He compared them with the information previously transmitted back by the drone. There were some overlaps, but the differences were also significant.

“I need to go here; we’ve lost contact with the drone.”

Jiang Heng handed her personal computer to Lan, which displayed the last location transmitted by the drone. Because much important information hadn't been transmitted back, their entire trip would have been in vain if they didn't retrieve it.

Meanwhile, the drone, which had lost contact, was stuck motionless in the red vortex, only occasionally emitting a mechanical voice, "Help...help...Jiang Jiang...come quickly."

"The first victim of the sand vortex has emerged."

When Jiang Heng and Lan arrived, they saw this comical scene. Jiang Heng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Captain Lan, please take care of me."

As he spoke, the smile in his eyes lingered, his eyes crinkling slightly, dispelling the coldness emanating from him. Lan raised an eyebrow, no longer feeling that this person was dangerous.

He slightly raised his left hand, flicked his wrist, and a subtle mechanical sound rang out as a freeze gun replaced his hand.

The blue mist froze the still-swirling, sinking quicksand around the drone. He stepped forward and plunged his hand into the sand; the instant he touched the fine sand, the freezing gun switched to a wide blade. With a pry of the blade, the drone was dug out. A burst of fire rose, meticulously baking the frozen sand around the drone without damaging it in the slightest.

All the actions were completed in a few minutes. Jiang Heng and 886 were dumbfounded. This was too cool. They wanted it too.

"Lan, you're so cool."

Jiang Heng couldn't help but praise her.

Lan stepped forward and handed him the drone. He saw Jiang Heng looking at him with bright eyes, the light in his eyes shining through his glasses. He sternly held the drone in front of Jiang Heng's face, blocking his view.

Jiang Heng's lips twitched as she caught the drone that had almost hit her face.

As soon as the drone landed in Jiang Heng's hands, it immediately changed form. The wings retracted, four limbs extended from the bottom, and the two metal plates on the top of the fuselage opened. On the screen, two circles appeared, and the moment they scanned Jiang Heng, the circles changed into two curved lines.

Oh, it wasn't a circle, it was an eye.

"Jiang Jiang came to save me."

For some reason, Jiang Heng detected a hint of coquetry in the rigid, mechanical voice.

886, who had been observing the drone's transformation in its consciousness space, jumped up and shouted, "Why are you calling me so affectionately! The host is mine!"

However, the drone couldn't hear 886's cursing at all, and kept calling out "Jiang Jiang" over and over again. For a while, Jiang Heng's ears and brain were buzzing, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

"stop!"

Suddenly, the world fell silent.

He let out a soft breath and looked at Lan, "We can go now."

886 squatted in the corner, muttering under his breath, "What a piece of junk drone, acting all cutesy like a lapdog."

Lan looked at the drone that was blinking incessantly in his arms, then at Jiang Heng, raising an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't expected this person to like cute and cuddly things.

"Can you detect the tracks of other Shadow Beasts?"

On the aircraft, Jiang Heng walked over to Lan and watched him operate the control panel. Jiang Heng was very interested in the Shadow Beast's ability to conceal itself, and he wanted to bring back more samples to study, as they might come in handy in the future.

The spacecraft took off and hovered over the planet Earth. After about half an hour, the spacecraft came to a stop in mid-air. As Lan walked toward the hatch, she told him without turning her head, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he opened the hatch and jumped out.

Through the images transmitted back by the aircraft, Jiang Heng saw that he had landed smoothly. The sleeve of the combat suit on his left arm melted away, and Jiang Heng could finally see the full view of the mechanical arm.

The silvery light shimmered and floated, like a fine work of art.

The area below became his domain. The plasma gun bombarded all around, and the resulting airflow caused the aircraft above to sway. Jiang Heng steadied herself by holding onto the back of her chair, and when she looked at the screen again, the three Shadow Beasts had already appeared.

It was still the Space Bullet, three bullets fired in quick succession, trapping the Shadow Beast and its attacks in one place. Jiang Heng closed her eyes in advance, but she could still feel a strong white light appearing before her eyes.

When the explosions ended, Lan opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by a pile of purple crystals. The light reflected off the mechanical arm. He raised his hand and made a gesture of "it's done" towards the direction of the aircraft.

Jiang Heng's heart pounded violently. He pressed the side of the frame and took a picture of the scene.
