Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

At the very moment that Sakanan came to a complete standstill, Sanger's communication came in. In the conference room, Lan, along with Jiang Heng, Ji Liang, and the five captains of the operations department, sat together, their faces serious, as if a storm was brewing.

"Sang Lan, come over right now." A cold, stern voice came through, filled with suppressed emotion. Before Lan could respond, the other party had already hung up.

Those sitting nearby, upon hearing the address, all turned to look at Lan in shock, but the person in question remained expressionless. Suppressing their doubts, no one asked any questions.

Lan brought up the StarNet interface and checked the current situation. When he stood up, he looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone, it's time to give the people an explanation."

Qin Yaoming and his four companions stood up simultaneously, saluted him in perfect unison, and declared, "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

"General Ji, the rear is now in your hands."

"Don't worry." Ji Liang left his seat, stood straight facing the group, and said in a serious tone, "I will guard the base for you."

Lan turned her gaze to Jiang Heng standing at the back. Qin Yaoming and the others exchanged glances and made way for her. Ji Liang looked at the two of them with a gentle expression and then left the conference room.

It's great to be young.

"Team Leader Lan, I'll be waiting for you to come back safely at the base."

Lan pulled the man into his arms, cupped his face and lowered his head. As their breaths mingled, he gently bit the other's lower lip, his voice muffled, "I'm waiting for the third reward."

As she pulled away, she gently rubbed the corner of his mouth with her fingertips in a soothing manner. Jiang Heng slightly parted her lips and lightly bit the metal fingertip. As she pulled away, she casually stuck out her tongue, leaving a little moisture. "Have I ever told you that I really like the temperature of your metal fingertip, especially... when it's connected to the sensor?"

A shiver ran from her fingertips into her heart. She looked at the person in front of her with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, realizing that he had her completely under his thumb.

Before turning to leave, he leaned close to Jiang Heng's ear, his voice carrying a soft smile, "I hope you'll still think the same way when I come back."

......

Lan boarded the hovercar and headed towards the palace, with a warship hidden in space following behind him.

Inside the palace, Min Xinghe waited below Sangge. He had been standing there for an hour, during which Sangge hadn't uttered a single word, and he couldn't fathom the other's intentions, but a sense of oppression constantly hung over him. Until the other made a communication to Lan.

Sang Lan?!

He suddenly looked up at Sangge, his lips trembling as if he wanted to ask a question.

Sang lowered his eyes and glanced at Min Xinghe, answering his question for him, "He's a child I adopted on the battlefield." He smiled and continued, "He's very useful, isn't he? He can charge ahead for Sakanan without taking my position."

He patted the luxurious chair beneath him, then his smile vanished. "But this kid seems to have his own little schemes."

Min Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively asked, "Why did you call him over?"

"Disobedient children should stay here to learn rules."

The moment those words fell, Min Xinghe felt a fluctuation in the air. He looked around but found nothing amiss. He then turned his gaze back to Sang Ge, hoping the other could give him an answer, but he remained silent.

After a while, just as Min Xinghe's legs were getting tired from standing, the guard at the door finally came in to announce that Lan had arrived.

"Let him in."

The moment Lan stepped into the hall, he felt the energy within his body slowly being drawn away. Previously, he might not have noticed such a subtle change, but Jiang Heng had helped him and the combat team members with modifications and upgrades.

This hair-thin removal felt to him like someone blatantly dismantling his mechanical arm and taking away his energy core.

He pretended not to know and still stepped into the empty hall. Seeing Min Xinghe standing inside, he nodded slightly and bowed to Sangge.

"Father."

"Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"Give them the truth, just as the people expect."

"So what's the truth?" Sanger leaned forward slightly, looking down at the tall figure below, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Are you sure you can find out the truth?"

“Captain Lan, I think the most important thing to do now is to stabilize Ji Xianming and get Sakanan back into operation.” Min Xinghe’s voice was deep. “If necessary, we can take coercive measures.”

The term "coercive measures" was used euphemistically, but everyone present understood its meaning.

This included members of the public who witnessed the scene in real time, but no one notified him.

When Min Xinghe was summoned to the palace, Sangge had already sent someone to the military headquarters, ordering that no matter what happened on StarNet, Min Xinghe should not be notified, or he would be punished for treason.

Even Min Xinghe's faction sensed something was amiss. Rather than blindly taking sides, they prioritized self-preservation. However, it seemed the military was truly about to undergo a major upheaval.

Xie Yimian told Wu Qian in detail about what happened at the military headquarters, and Wu Qian immediately informed Ji Liang.

Since everyone at the research institute was arrested, Ji Liang has reconnected with Wu Qian. Now, Wu Qian is his informant in the military, and with Xie Yimian's covert assistance, he has complete control over everything in the military.

Inside the palace, Sang glanced at the movements of the quantum computer, his lips curving into a smile before quickly returning to a serious expression.

Someone has to take the blame, and it's time for Min Heung-ho to step down.

Lan looked directly into Min Xinghe's eyes, her brows furrowed, her aura extremely imposing. "The truth is for Elder Min to answer."

Min Xinghe's hand, hanging by his side, trembled, then clenched tightly. "What do you mean by that?"

Lan projected the screen into the air, and the first thing to appear was a video of Tu Nan being interrogated in the supervisory room.

“I am Tu Nan. During my ten years in A-01, I sent more than 5,000 criminals to a certain force, including the old and the young, men and women. They would come to me every now and then to ask for the prisoners.”

“At first, I didn’t know what they needed so many people for, but they gave me money and supplies, so I didn’t plan to investigate. Later, I overheard someone saying that they were going to send criminals to a research institute for research.”

……

"The criminals who were intercepted by space pirates a while ago were the people I prepared for the research institute."

Off-screen, a cold voice continued to ask, "Do you know who those people are?"

"I don't know, but their demeanor and bearing are very much like soldiers."

The next video clip shows the group of people Jiang Ying intercepted on Liu Chang'an's spaceship. Comparing this to Tu Nan's confession, these are the criminals he handed over who were then kidnapped by space pirates.

Liu Chang'an's confession was very straightforward, because Wen Lin had given him a truth serum, and no one's brain can withstand the effects of the drug to lie.

"It was Elder Min who sent me to Misa Star to secretly bring the person back..."

At the same time, Ji Liang started a live stream with a new account, showing these interrogation videos one by one.

As people watched the live stream that had just climbed into the top three in popularity, and then looked at the live stream where Lan and Min were, their questions grew deeper: why was another live stream with the same content opened?

Some people carefully examined the footage featuring Lan and concluded that neither Lan nor Old Man Min knew that their words were being recorded by the live stream.

Who is doing the live stream?

Looking at the account that resembled gibberish, some people tried to dig deeper and crack it, but their own accounts were attacked instead.

Immediately, various speculations began to appear on the StarNet.
