Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

After the meeting ended, Xie Yimian helped Min Xinghe back to his office. Lan stood up and gave him a military salute, his coldness melting away, showing his respect for General Min.

"Well, did you see anything?"

Lan swiped the screen to show Ji Liang operating the personal computer under the table. "If General Ji is involved in this matter, then his actions are too obvious, so obvious that they are somewhat clumsy."

"How to say?"

Lan and Xie Yimian exchanged a glance. Min Xinghe couldn't see Ji Liang's actions at the time, but Xie Yimian definitely did. He then moved the progress forward a little more.

"Here. Secretary Xie and he made eye contact, didn't they?"

Xie Yimian nodded. Indeed, he had been speechless at the time.

"He's clearly more interested in the news of the starship hijacking than in the fact that criminals have appeared on Misa. Further investigation is needed to determine the specifics."

Min Xinghe zoomed in on the screen, looked at it carefully for a while, then glanced at Xie Yimian with disapproval in his eyes, "Xiao Xie, you should control your emotions in the future."

Xie Yimian paused, adjusted his slipping glasses, and nodded in agreement.

“Here, I’m confirming with Xiao Xie whether the relevant personnel have been detained. His actions prove that he is definitely related to this starship.” Min Xinghe looked directly into Lan’s eyes, his gaze sharp. “You know about the investigation. I originally wanted to hand it over entirely to the Operations Department, but Ji Liang insisted on getting involved. If anything seems amiss, there’s no need to give the military any face.”

Lan scrutinized Ji Liang in the picture, then his gaze swept over Min Xinghe sitting opposite him, his eyebrows lowered.

Turning back, Min Xinghe gave him a few more instructions before letting him leave. Before the door closed, a faint coughing sound could be heard from inside the office, along with Xie Yimian urging Min Xinghe to take his medication. Finally, the door closed completely, cutting off all sound. Lan stared at the door for a moment, lost in thought, until he heard Jiang Heng's voice, then he turned and strode away.

Just as the elevator arrived, Ji Liang emerged from his office with a dark expression, followed by his anxious secretary. Upon seeing Lan, both of them immediately composed themselves.

"General Ji."

Ji Liang glanced at the corridor on the other side, then stepped into the elevator first, with Lan following behind him and standing beside him. Ji Liang turned his head and looked him up and down, "Old Min summoned you so quickly."

"You also know the seriousness of the matter. The people are waiting for an explanation from the Empire; this matter cannot wait."

Ji Liang's eyelids drooped, and he snorted coldly, "Then your operations department would better hurry up. I also want to know who has the audacity to transfer criminals without authorization."

"The operations department will investigate and obtain the results as soon as possible."

"Wu Qian, exchange contact numbers with Captain Lan. Make sure Captain Lan gets help whenever he needs it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian immediately opened his contact number, waiting for Lan to scan it. Lan glanced at the other party and granted their request.

When Lan reached her hovercar, she paused as she opened the door, tapped her earlobe with her fingertips, ended the call with Jiang Heng, and then got back into the car as if nothing had happened.

Switch to automatic driving mode and head towards the operations headquarters base.

A dull knocking sound came from the communicator. Jiang Heng listened carefully and understood what Lan wanted to express.

"You couldn't hold back even though it's only just begun?"

Jiang Heng touched the smooth head of the 886 robot and felt that something was wrong.

886 was engrossed in watching a drama while nestled on a cushion; the films and television shows set in the interstellar era were truly daring. Upon hearing Jiang Heng's words and catching the key phrase, it immediately turned its attention away from the drama and looked at Jiang Heng.

"Who couldn't hold back? Couldn't hold back what?"

"Tsk, should I find some time to clean up your internet?" Jiang Heng looked at the screen where 886 had switched to a starry-eyed emoji, feeling somewhat helpless.

"There is absolutely no need for the Clean Internet campaign."

886 grunted twice, realizing it had misunderstood, but knowing it was one thing, changing it was another. Tilting its head, it continued to ask Jiang Heng, its tone no longer so flirtatious, "So what couldn't you hold back?"

"Someone must have tampered with Lan's hovercar. He cut off my call before getting in without saying anything."

886 exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the unspoken understanding between young couples?"

Jiang Heng chuckled and tapped its round head. "I prefer to call it the tacit understanding between intelligent people."

Jiang Heng projected the quantum computer in front of her eyes and listed the people attending the meeting today, circling Min Xinghe's name as the main focus.

"Does the host think there's something wrong with this person?"

Jiang Heng looked at its eyes, which resembled mosquito coils, and thought they were incredibly cute. She hugged it and stroked it for a while. Although the texture was smooth alloy, it was better than nothing.

When will 886's true form finally emerge from the consciousness space? The points he earned in the last mission were almost equal to what he earned in the previous ten worlds, and yet that still couldn't get 886 to come out and give him a good time.

After he had had enough fun, he finally told 886 his thoughts.

Before Min Xinghe returned to his office, he believed the other party was an ally, especially given the decisiveness and speed of their actions. Lan went through several roundabout steps before revealing the previously taken photos of the starship and the information about requesting rescue to Xie Yimian, and they immediately took action.

"But I always felt something was off, as if they had been waiting to arrest the people involved in the incident, but were just missing the key evidence."

His fingertips lightly tapped back and forth over the names of Ji Liang and Min Xinghe; perhaps he was mistaken.

886 felt its brain wasn't working properly, so it could only diligently massage Jiang Heng's legs, its mechanical voice tinged with embarrassment, "I'm counting on you, host! Just ask if you need anything."

Jiang Heng was amused by its behavior and was unsure whether to tell his master that he had never thought of relying on it for anything that required thinking, since 886's brain was already full of other things.

In the afternoon, the military issued a statement on the StarNet, stating that the matter of the criminal being stranded on Misa Star would be investigated as soon as possible and an explanation would be given to the public. The monitoring of A-01 would also be more stringent afterward.

Meanwhile, the military had already sent people to Misa Star to secretly arrest those criminals.

At the operations headquarters, Lan summoned the heads of each team to the office. Now that the front lines were safe, the operations department was temporarily recalled for unified maintenance.

The team of one hundred people was divided into five squads, each with a different number of members, but all were of vital importance. Now the five team leaders were all gathered in one place.
