Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Jiang Heng knew that staying here would only distract him, so she quickly returned to the aircraft, which gradually disappeared into the sky.

Lan felt that mobilizing the robotic arm's energy was smoother than ever before.

He tapped the communicator in his ear, "Hide."

A powerful beam of light shot straight at Sangge. Sangge squinted, and in the blink of an eye, the beam was right in front of him. He lunged to the right to dodge. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure filled the air, but there was nothing in front of him. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to dodge. He could only cross his arms to protect himself, and the next second he was blasted away.

A large crater was smashed into the ground beneath him, and a metallic taste filled his throat. He struggled to get up, only to see Lan standing at the edge of the crater, her mechanical arm switching modes, and a barrage of bullets bombarding him until his metal armor was shattered.

As the smoke cleared, Sangge clutched his chest and coughed violently, blood spilling from his mouth. He collapsed to the ground, staring at Lan above with a sinister expression.

"What's wrong with your robotic arm? Why is it working? And why is it so powerful?"

"Because someone is standing behind me."

It was only then that Sanger realized that he hadn't received a single helping hand all this time.

"Ha, they're all a bunch of ingrates just like you."

Lan understood what he meant, but she didn't intend to explain. Let him think he was all alone and helpless; that was fine.

Sanger picked up the gun that had fallen to the side, intending to end his life. He refused to accept being judged by these ants. The next moment, the gun was shot down, and Lan appeared beside him, pulling out handcuffs and restraining him.

"You still owe the people an explanation."

"Sang Lan, you won't even give me the last bit of dignity! Everything you have now is thanks to me!"

Lan pulled the man out of the pit, and the telescopic rope shot out from the mechanical arm and pierced the edge of the pit. He grabbed the handcuffs on Sang's wrists and lifted the man up.

“Sangge, you could have lived a decent and glorious life. You were too greedy.”

As Lan escorted Sangge out of the palace, the crowd waiting outside cheered. Sangge glanced at them and sneered.

The mockery on his face was so obvious that it provoked them. A teenager in the crowd took off his shoe and threw it at him.

"Sangge! Give me back my sister!"

The sole of the shoe struck Sanger squarely on the forehead, leaving a red mark. An unprecedented sense of humiliation welled up inside him. He glared at the people surrounding him and roared, "I built Sakanan! I gave you a peaceful life! What right do you have to rebel against me!"

Everyone was stunned by his words, staring at him in disbelief. For a moment, the crowd fell silent.

An old man came out from behind. He looked to be about the same age as Sangge, or even a little older.

“Emperor Sangh, this is the last time I will address you with such respect. I am grateful for your contributions to Sakanan, but that does not mean you can take my child’s life at will. We once revered you as the sun of Sakanan, but you are no longer worthy.”

Sanger stood there, stunned. Was he unworthy...?

Min Xinghe was being held back by Zhao Yifan. Upon hearing this, his eyelids twitched for a moment, and he instantly lost all his energy.

Lan ordered the crowd to disperse, informing them that further details would be announced on the StarNet, before boarding the warship to return to base.

On the warship, Lan looked at Zhao Yifan and the others with a stern face, "Whoever let the people into the palace, go back and accept your punishment."

Jiang Ying didn't offer any further explanation and simply replied, "Yes."

The video of Sanger's capture spread to every corner of Sakanan. Knowing the situation was hopeless, the remaining troops who had been stubbornly resisting surrendered. Without Sanger, their resistance was meaningless and they would even be labeled as rebels.

Inside the base, Ji Liang stood on the flat ground, looking at the sky, as the warship slowly came to a stop in front of him. Looking at Sangge and Min Xinghe being brought down, he sighed.

The two saw Ji Liang, but they no longer had the strength to speak. There was no need to ask further; it was simply that Ji Liang had partnered with the operations department.

"You've worked hard." Ji Liang stepped forward and patted Lan on the shoulder, then looked at the combat team members behind him with a gratified expression. "Everyone has worked hard."

"Thank you for protecting our rear."

Ji Liang rarely teased Lan, saying, "You should also thank Jiang Heng."

Lan smiled, indicating that she should thank him properly.

As Sangge and Ji Liang passed each other, he said in a deep voice, "Sangge, I tried to cover for you because I didn't believe that the person I served regarded his people as ants. Unfortunately, I was blind."

Sanger paused slightly, then continued walking forward, though his once straight back gradually bent.

Inside the monitoring room, Li Tianming waited in vain for rescue, his anxiety growing stronger. Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully, startling him. He saw Lan standing by the door with a sullen face.

“Sangge and Min Xinghe have already been imprisoned. Li Tianming, are you still unwilling to hand over that list?”

"Impossible! You're trying to trick me again, just like Jiang Heng!"

Upon suddenly hearing Jiang Heng's name, Lan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that there were still many things she needed to thank the other party for.

Without wasting words with him, Lan directly pulled up the video of Sangge's arrest and showed it to him. Li Tianming stared blankly at the disheveled man in the video, and finally lowered his head in dejection.

"The chip has been implanted in my left arm."

Having received the answer, Lan immediately called Wen Lin and Liang Jingxin over. After retrieving the chip and reviewing the integration, Liang Jingxin, suppressing his emotions, logged into the operations department's account and uploaded the 80-page list. This was a list of people who had died at the research institute over the years.

According to this list, the medical institutions and staff involved in the incident have all been arrested and detained. The case involving the research institute is now nearing its end.

Even with mental preparation, everyone was still shocked by the densely packed list. They couldn't imagine how many more people would have silently disappeared if the operations department hadn't discovered the research institute's activities.

Gradually, some people began to propose restoring the death penalty, arguing that exile was far from enough to atone for the sins of Sanger and the institute staff.

In the following days, Lan and Ji Liang were busy reintegrating their forces. After much discussion and research, they abolished imperial rule and created an alliance. Lan was elected as the leader of the alliance, not only because of the recommendation of the various factions in the former empire, but also because he was unanimously elected by the people of Sakanan.

Sakanan is now more united, and space pirates dare not provoke them in the short term, and wars with other planets have temporarily ceased.

For a time, all parties were at peace.

While Lan was busy these past few days, Jiang Heng was immersed in new research. He had previously been interested in the metal armor worn by Sangge, which was also intended to strengthen Lan's military capabilities.

In the afternoon, several hovercars were parked outside the base gate. As Ji Yan walked out of the gate, he met Ji Xianming's gaze in the crowd. He quickly ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

“Good boy, Daddy’s here to take you home!” Ji Xianming patted his back, his eyes red.

Ji Yan nodded forcefully, her voice choked with emotion, "Let's go home."

Jiang Heng and Lan stood inside the door, watching everyone reunite, and a smile unconsciously crept onto their lips. Suddenly, the person in front turned around and bowed deeply to them. Jiang Heng couldn't dodge in time and could only hurriedly wave her hand.

"That's not allowed!"

Amused by Jiang Heng's reaction, they waved in his direction, "Thank you!"

One hovercar after another departed, and peace returned to the area outside the base. The clouds parted, and sunlight streamed down.

Jiang Heng turned to look at Lan, her eyes and brows full of smiles, "The weather is so nice today."
