Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Lan's resounding words entered the live broadcast room, and the broadcast was suddenly interrupted, but it was enough to cause a seismic shift on the StarNet.

But no one dared to speak out or take sides. These two men were the founding ruler of Sakanan and its current strongest guardian. The people had eyes; they knew that for the past hundred years, Lan had led the combat department at the forefront of defending Sakanan. Now, this bomb had struck, leaving everyone stunned.

Inside the main hall, Min Xinghe looked at Lan in disbelief. He still didn't know how the other party had found out about the research institute. Now, even their deepest secrets were about to be dug up?

"Lan, do you know what you're saying? I'm the one who orchestrated all of this, how could it be Emperor Sangge?"

Lan didn't want to argue with him, but considering that he had risked his life to protect the empire, he turned his head to look at him.

"Purpose."

“I…I don’t want to die.” The sudden question made Min Xinghe pause for a moment, but once he spoke, his thoughts became clearer. “You know, my health has been getting worse and worse these past few years. Everyone is afraid of death.”

"I understand. It's you who doesn't want to die."

After Lan finished speaking, she turned to look at Sangge and applied Min Xinghe's reasoning directly to Sangge, thus defining the nature of the matter.

"..."

"..."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Although this is indeed Sanger's true thought, why does it feel so frustrating?

"Sang Lan, do you know what you're doing?"

“Please call me Lan. I used to be proud to share your surname, but now I am just a citizen of Sakanan, Lan.”

For over a century, he had kept his identity as Sanger's adopted son a secret, avoiding unnecessary trouble. Now, he refused any further unnecessary association with him. This man was no longer the sun of Sakanan.

"Fine, consider it an ungrateful wretch I've raised for over a hundred years."

Sangge descended the steps one by one, the hard heels of his military boots hitting the ground with a dull thud that echoed in the hall.

Under his sharp gaze, Lan did not back down, but tensed her body and tried to mobilize the energy of the mechanical arm.

He stopped a meter away, a cryptic smile playing on his lips. "If I were to announce to the public that the Operations Department had betrayed the Empire, guess what would happen?"

He glanced at the open palace gates, then at Lan. "By now, the operations headquarters base should be surrounded. No matter how powerful the operations headquarters is, it's only a hundred people. Lan, today I'll give you one last lesson: history is always written by the victors."

"Unfortunately, you were one step behind. Regardless of who wins or loses today, all the citizens of Sakanan will only think that you, Sanger, are just covering your mouth out of guilt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan reached out to snatch his personal terminal. Even though he had been away from the battlefield for many years, Sangge's vigilance remained strong, allowing him to react quickly. In just a few minutes, the two had already exchanged several blows.

As Lan's attack missed once again, Sang contemptuously beckoned to him with his finger, "Why don't you use your mechanical arm? You can't defeat me with one hand."

"Then let's give it a try."

Having said that, Lan's attack became even more swift.

Min Xinghe stood in the corner watching the two locked in combat, and instinctively felt something was wrong. This wasn't Lan's strength; even with his mechanical arm limited, he shouldn't need to fight Sangge for so long.

Taking advantage of the fact that neither side was paying attention to him, he ran towards the palace gate, intending to call over a few guards. The most important thing now was to detain Lan to prevent any further trouble.

However, as soon as he stepped out the door, someone grabbed him, covered his mouth, and dragged him away.

Min Xinghe's eyes widened, and he struggled desperately, trying to make some noise to attract Sangge's attention, but was immediately knocked unconscious. Before falling, a familiar face appeared in his vision—it was one of the palace guards. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then his consciousness faded into darkness.

"Captain, what do we do now?"

The guard dragged Min Xinghe to the corner and threw him down, then looked at Zhong Kai beside him, waiting for the next step.

"Let's leave it here for now and give it to Captain Lan after he leaves."

Sanger probably didn't know that among those selected by the research institute were the relatives and friends of these guards. He assumed that those loyal to him would never choose to betray him, but he probably forgot that their loyalty to the Empire was to protect their families, not to someone who was pointing weapons at their rear.

Above the palace, in a hidden warship, Zhao Yifan had a clear view of the situation below. He raised his hand and stroked his chin. "It feels pretty good to have someone charging ahead?"

He turned to look at his teammates behind him, and they all nodded quickly. "Not only is it good, it's also quite novel."

Meanwhile, dozens of red and black warships were already en route to the operations base. Seeing the imperial colors, everyone was stunned. Some of the bolder ones rode in hovercars and followed at a distance, wanting to see what was going on.

Once he saw those warships hovering above the operations base, he quickly activated his personal computer and took a series of pictures in that direction.

Many people were doing this, and some even sent out drones to try and investigate more thoroughly, but they were all blown up before they could get close. The explosion served as a warning, causing those who tried to approach or linger nearby to retreat.

As the warship approached the base's defensive perimeter, alarms sounded repeatedly, and ammunition pounded against the shield, creating deafening explosions overhead. Ji Liang knew this shield wouldn't hold for long. He activated the external communications system and turned the volume up to maximum.

"Are you all still willing to risk your lives for the executioner?!"

Jiang Heng assisted by operating the drone to take off, projecting a huge light screen into the air. The projected content was exactly what Li Tianming had said in the monitoring room after being provoked by Jiang Heng. Of course, the part about male function was not included.

But the attacks from the warships overhead continued relentlessly, and warnings of damage to the protective shield blared in the control room. Ji Liang frowned, slammed the attack button, and the cannons around the protective shield rose, aimed, and fired at the warships.

Accompanied by a video playing on a loop in the air, the scene was extremely ironic.

"Jiang Heng, release the first video."

Jiang Heng pursed her lips, her hands moving even faster as she played the new video. In the video, Sangge wasn't that old yet, and the background was a starship, with Li Tianming standing beside him.

"Li Tianming, you're the one who came up with the concept of immortality, so you'll help me realize it."

"Your Majesty, this research will likely require tens of thousands of humans for my experiments, this..."

“The people of Sakanan are under my protection; now it is time for them to sacrifice themselves for me.”

......

Now is the time for them to sacrifice themselves for me...

This statement was like a curse, which started the research institute's path of human experimentation and caused countless people to die on the operating table.

One warship after another ceased their attack.

Inside the monitoring room, Li Tianming and the others sensed the cessation of the artillery fire outside and assumed that Sangge's men had captured the base. His smile widened as he leaned back comfortably in his chair, waiting to be released.

On the lead warship, a soldier in the control room was grabbed and thrown aside.

What are you doing?!

The team leader was about to take over when he was grabbed and pulled away by several people around him, who punched him repeatedly in the face. "You're going to pledge allegiance to someone like this? Are you blinded by shit?!"

Similar incidents occurred repeatedly on the warship. Not everyone who watched the video would change their stance. Unless the knife pierces them, they won't be the ones wiping it clean.
