CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: SHAMELESS

Military Department.

Vice Wang hurriedly walked toward the office, knocked on the door, and upon hearing a voice from inside, he pushed the door open and said with a somewhat grave expression, "Commander, the Lion Star Thief Group’s starship is hovering near Star River Star."

Star River Star, a famous tourism planet, is said to offer a spectacular view of the starry sky during special seasons, which is also the origin of the name "Star River Star."

Every day, a considerable number of tours head to Star River Star. With the Lion Star Thief Group loitering nearby, could they be intending to hijack a tourist spaceship?

Lu Shinian tapped his fingers lightly on the table, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound.

"Isn’t the Lion Star Thief Group known for robbing fellow criminals?"

"What’s drawing them to Star River Star this time around?"

Vice Wang shook his head, "We haven’t received any information on that."

"But our intelligence officer has reported that the leader of the Lion Star Thief Group has entered Central Star."

Lu Shinian’s hand paused.

"Confirmed his location?"

With a serious face, Vice Wang replied, "No."

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Commander, do you think the leader of the Lion Star Thief Group suddenly entering Central Star means..."

Is something major about to happen?

Vice Wang dared not voice these suspicions.

As the political hub of the Federation, if something significant were indeed occurring at Central Star, it would surely be tumultuous.

"No need to overthink it." Lu Shinian said in a deep voice, full of confidence, "As long as I’m here, they won’t cause any waves."

This was his confidence, and his strength.

Feeling relieved, Vice Wang, who had great trust in his commander, saluted and answered, "Yes!"

Lu Shinian promptly made a few arrangements to prepare for any potential changes.

Meanwhile, at a certain bar on Central Star.

A red-haired man with a Bloody Mary in hand took a gulp and cursed, "That bastard Lu Shinian dared to imprison my sister."

The man seated next to him adjusted his glasses calmly and said, "Captain, to correct you, he married Su Ruan’s sister."

"Bah!" Su Hu glared fiercely at the tactician Ye Qing next to him, "Married my ass! It’s imprisonment!"

Ye Qing: ...

"Captain, you can’t just call it imprisonment because you can’t break through their defenses," Ye Qing said, cool and ruthless.

Su Hu sneered, "Can’t break through? Push me too far, and I’ll launch a starship attack on them!"

"Just a reminder, Lu Shinian owns his own independent starship, with defense and attack levels a notch higher than ours," Ye Qing once again ruthlessly pointed out to Su Hu.

Su Hu’s mouth twitched as he looked at Ye Qing impatiently, "Whose side are you on?"

Ye Qing calmly closed his Light Brain, "I have a way for you to meet Su Ruan’s sister."

"What? Spill it!" Su Hu quickly inquired.

"I found out that Su Ruan’s sister is currently studying in the Logistics Department of the Second Military University. We can go to the school and intercept, uh, I mean, meet her," Ye Qing suggested.

Su Hu’s eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, "Let’s do it!"

As he spoke, he glared at Ye Qing again, "That’s my sister; stop calling her Su Ruan’s sister!"

Ye Qing adjusted his glasses, the lenses glinting, "I’ve watched her grow up too; why can’t I call her sister? Didn’t she say she wanted to take me as her brother when she was little?"

"Bah!" Su Hu spat, "Shameless."

Ye Qing smiled without saying a word.
