Hearing the old general's impassioned and tragic song, Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but sigh. Zhan Siyu held her hand tightly, offering a little comfort.

The old general continued, "These metal cages contain some radiation. Miss Nan, your status is special now. I'll send a car to take you back later!"

"Nangong, you're in charge of transporting these two cages back. If you encounter any difficulties while hunting interstellar monsters, be sure to come to me!"

"We absolutely cannot let the interstellar monster escape, otherwise it will cause a huge crisis, do you understand?"

The old general was very nervous and anxious about this matter, but due to special circumstances, he was unable to participate in the arrest operation.

Nangong Chen nodded and agreed to the old general's conditions. Pei Jun immediately arranged for another vehicle.

Two soldiers rushed in to move the cages. As warned by the old general, these cages had to be surrounded by a special device to prevent the leakage of radioactive material.

After doing all this, the old general saw them off as they left the military base.

"I never imagined that one day we would be fighting side by side!" the old general said.

Then he sighed and said, "It's really helpless. I never expected there to be such scum on Rose Star. I'm so sorry to have caused you all trouble!"

"After this is done, I will protect everyone in your Happiness Community, so don't worry!"

"Do those eight powerful families still think they can control everything? It seems that after a hundred years of peace, they have indeed forgotten the importance of military bases!"

When the old general said these words, his eyes conveyed both majesty and solemnity.

The life and death of Rose Star are all related to the military base. However, the old general has never cared about the commercial landscape of Rose Star. But now these eight great families are so arrogant that they don't take him seriously at all.

They even secretly brought back interstellar monsters for research, completely disregarding the safety of the entire planet.

Zhan Siyu nodded. After all, this was a matter between the old general and the eight great families, and he had no right to get involved.

"Then I'll wait for the old general's good news!" Zhan Siyu said.

The old general patted Zhan Siyu on the shoulder, seemingly placing high hopes on him.

"I heard you're going to see Grandpa Ye in a few days?" he asked again.

The group slowly walked towards the parking area, chatting about the Ye family along the way.

“Yes, the old man was attacked and is still in the hospital. He has helped us a lot, so we should go and see how he is!” Zhan Siyu said.

He summarized their reasons for going to see Old Master Ye in very brief words, but did not mention anything else.

Although the old general didn't concern himself with the power struggles among the eight major families, he was still very well-informed.

He was well aware of the predicament that the Ye family and Zhan Siyu were currently facing, so he just smiled faintly and did not expose the alliance between them.

"Be careful! Old Master Ye has been a friend of mine for decades, and of course I don't want anything to happen to him!"

"Seven families uniting to divide up one family is not uncommon; it has always been this way. I hope this time there will be a good ending!" The old general sighed silently.

Both he and Grandpa Ye are over two hundred years old and have long been accustomed to these kinds of things; it's just that this time the matter has fallen on his good friend's shoulders.

Therefore, the old general certainly did not want anything to happen to the Ye family. If Zhan Siyu could turn the tide, the outcome would likely be different.

"Perhaps you are the variables of Rose Star!" the old general said one last time, and then saw them off to their car.

Nan Xiangwan was personally escorted back to Ande's warehouse by Pei Jun, while Zhan Siyu and Nangong Chen sent the cages back first.

On the bus, Nangong Chen didn't understand what the old general meant by his last words.

"Brother Zhan, why does the old general seem so sentimental? If he wants to help Grandpa Ye, why can't he do it himself?" Nangong Chen asked.

Zhan Siyu smiled and said, "Actually, this model is quite good. Business is business, and military is military."

This would prevent the two sides from uniting, which would inevitably lead to a dictatorial war and might even give rise to the first emperor of Rose Star.

"Business does not interfere with military affairs, and military affairs do not interfere with business affairs. The old general has always adhered to this principle!"

"If the old general were now standing behind a powerful family, do you think there would be any suspense in this war?"

"No matter how powerful the seven great families are, they can't possibly be a match for these long guns and short cannons. The old general can even kill magical beasts, let alone a few people."

After saying this, Zhan Siyu sighed. He also hoped to capture the interstellar monster as soon as possible and resolve this matter quickly.

The group secretly sneaked into Ander's warehouse, evaded the security guards at the entrance, and then quickly returned to the basement.

Nangong Chen has already had all the cages sent back to Xingfu Community. Now all they need to do is transport the ingredients back.

"Miss Nan, are you all alright?" Ander quickly came over to check on the group.

Nan Xiangwan said with a smile, "We went to the military base to find the old general, not the old general brought us to the military base. What could possibly happen?"

Ander disagreed, saying, "That's not necessarily true. The old general is quite fierce!"

"But I'm glad you're all alright. I just had the robot count all the food for you. That should be enough to keep the food street running for two days."

"Let's go, it's almost time. Otherwise, the security guards will get suspicious and notify the Hua family!"

Knowing that there was no time to lose, Ander quickly had Nan Xiangwan leave the warehouse.

They came in in a car, and left in a truck, which contained two specially made cages.

After the security guards saw them leave, they immediately informed the Hua family.

At least, they didn't show any abnormalities in the warehouse today, so the seven major families didn't take any action either.

At this moment, Fu Tingshen was also very surprised. Xue Wanqing's disappearance aroused his suspicion, but he had been monitoring Xingfu Community and Zhan Siyu for the past two days.

They didn't exhibit any unusual behavior at all; they simply went out every day to select ingredients and then went back to the food street to prepare them.

"What exactly happened? Have you found Xue Wanqing?" Fu Tingshen asked.

The two people next to him shook their heads; they were the young master of the Hua family and another young lady from the Xue family.

"We can't find him. He's probably hiding. We need to find him as soon as possible, or we'll be exposed!"
