Chapter 97 This efficiency is terrifying!

"If you can provide us with more valuable intelligence." As Sheng Xia finished speaking, Xiao Rui visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Sheng Xia with reverence and said, "Of course, you can always contact me."

midsummer:……

Until Fu Qianshen returned, Shengxia was still looking at the battle report from the front, wondering whether to send someone and who to send to pick up the family Xiao Rui mentioned.

Xiao Rui's guess was correct. After Ji Zhuifeng's activities, the Federation had indeed dispatched special operations personnel to coordinate with Ji Zhuifeng's covert operations team to address the issue of illegal workers from Volker who had been "kidnapped" by forces in the surrounding star regions. They would act swiftly within the next two days to rescue all the illegal workers on Volker Planet they had scouted.

According to Shengxia's strategic plan, as the illegal workers were rescued, border harassment against the G18 would begin. At the same time, the Golden Fleet would directly overwhelm the enemy, intimidating the G18 warships and making them unable to move.

Then the Federation Headquarters sent a starship to the Arka Starship Port to settle the illegal workers back to the Federation. This was also Professor Musk's compensation for Shengxia's assassination attempt by the Federation.

But here’s the problem: it’s just too much of a coincidence.

The timing of Xiao Rui's surrender to the enemy and request for rescue, and even the starship port he was about to leave for, was too coincidental.

"Do we really want to take the risk?" Fu Qianshen looked at Shengxia's silence and knew that she was still determined to rescue Xiao Rui's family.

In fact, if Fu Qianshen were to make the decision, he would probably choose to ignore it. After all, Xiao Rui was Agent Sales. He had heard about the organization's deeds from Mo Siming and An Yuan. Not to mention the strictness of the selection and the outrageous degree of stripping away of human nature, the degree of dependence of the top leaders of the surrounding star field forces on Agent Sales' organization determined that Xiao Rui's statement that her boss did not trust her was simply nonsense.

But at the same time, An Yuan also pointed out that they all had no idea how fast the internal replacement of Agent Sales was. If Xiao Rui was really facing execution by the organization, then maybe she really would be willing to surrender.

According to intelligence on the black market, Agent Sales' staff has always been very limited. They also possess rights far exceeding those of other administrative agencies, allowing them to freely roam and conduct investigations within the surrounding star regions. This is a consensus reached by the top brass of the surrounding star regions.

Now that such a person wants to surrender, it will undoubtedly cause damage to the organizational structure of the high-level forces in the surrounding star fields and Agent Searles. However, what Xiao Rui said has to be considered by them.

"What do you mean?" Fu Qianshen didn't understand, so Mo Siming said bluntly, "Because their living environment has been locked down, even if they really wanted to surrender, no one in the surrounding star regions would accept their surrender. In other words, even if they cried for help, no one would pay attention, which naturally creates the illusion that they would never surrender."

"The planet Volk is now completely isolated from the surrounding star regions. Coincidentally, Agent Sayles happened to be on Volk. Her superiors ignored the message she sent back, but her family was tortured in the rear. This punishment was also a cruel torture for her."

After An Yuan finished speaking, Mo Siming nodded in agreement, seemingly reflecting on something. "If we completely strip away Agent Searles's humanity, how will the higher-ups in the surrounding star regions control this organization? Only by artificially creating weaknesses and firmly controlling them will the incredibly clever Agent Searles be willing to loyally obey their superiors."

Fu Qianshen suddenly stopped talking when he heard this: "Wait, so you two think Xiao Rui's surrender is real and not a trap?"

Mo Siming and An Yuan glanced at each other on the conference screen and shook their heads regretfully. "Of course not. Perhaps this is a trap designed specifically for her, making the most of it. Or perhaps this is her own suggestion, willing to die for the sake of her family's future. Honestly, there are too many possibilities."

"...How miserable." An Yuan's meaningless murmur made Mo Siming and Fu Qianshen feel the cruelty of Xiao Rui's situation again.

Sympathy is sympathy, but Xiao Ruiqi's current identity makes him their enemy no matter what, so they must be extra careful.

Just as Fu Qianshen lowered his eyes and waited for Shengxia's reply, Shengxia stood up and glanced at the overcast sky outside: "You have already contacted Mo Siming, An Yuan and even Pute, right?"

Fu Qianshen nodded: "Yes."

"What do you think?"

"It's too risky... I suggest giving up."

midsummer:……

After a moment's silence, she sighed, "It seems everyone agrees. If we were to include the task of rescuing her family in the original plan, we'd be doomed if one of them were captured."

Fu Qianshen lowered his eyes. Perhaps it was only at this moment that he could look at Xiao Rui's situation without any hostility. He unconsciously felt a little sympathy for Xiao Rui, especially Mo Siming's words "the living environment has been locked", which accurately described Xiao Rui's past and the former Volk planet.

"No matter how I think about it, the timing is too coincidental. Is this really not part of the plan?" Sheng Xia seemed to be talking to herself, but just when Fu Qianshen wanted to say something else, Sheng Xia had already made the final decision: "Since there are risks, how about we adjust the action plan?"

Fu Qianshen:?

On the eighth day of the war, the Golden Fleet advanced a step forward for no apparent reason and directly entered the attack range of the Eighteen-Nation Group's battleship fleet. This shocked the Eighteen-Nation Group. The Newberland planet's top brass also began to contact Xiao Rui, contrary to their usual behavior, in order to obtain the latest updates on the planet's commander, Shengxia.

Xiao Rui looked at the "self-defeating" messages her boss had sent her, then glanced at the photos of her family that had been sent to her at the same time. Although they had been released from the punishment room, the marks of punishment left on them had not yet disappeared. Her sister was still asking the person who brought her out with numb eyes, "When will my sister be back?"

Xiao Rui: ...

She turned to look at the child who was responsible for guarding her. The child was the same age as her sister. He was also a member of the Boy Scouts trained in the prison, but was rescued by Shengxia. Now, she didn't know if it was a test from Shengxia, but she actually sent such a child to accompany her.

Two days ago, Fu Qianshen suddenly contacted her, gave her the necessary coordinates for the evacuation of civilians, and mentioned that Shengxia was willing to cease fire for a period of time, asking her to use this time to send her own people to rescue her family, and then send them to the largest starship port of Saibans on the planet Arka within ten hours after the ceasefire.

"Remember, you only have ten hours. The code word is: Free Bird."

"What are you planning? Why has the action changed again?" Xiao Rui keenly sensed that she had overlooked something. Fu Qianshen looked at her worried expression and suddenly said with a mocking tone that even Agent Searles would show an ordinary expression when facing his family's problems.

"You guys are really planning something." "Want to know?"

Xiao Rui knew this was the first step in her surrender, so she shook her head and refused: "No, that's not necessary. I was the one who believed in you first anyway, so I will bear the price I might have to pay for believing in you."

Fu Qianshen: ...

"Let me ask you a question." Fu Qianshen didn't leave. Instead, he put his hand on the door of the temporary detention room: "What would happen if a family member of your Agent Searles died?"

Xiao Rui: … She was a little angry when Fu Qianshen asked herself this question, but she still answered: "We live and die together. Generally speaking, our families will be tortured carefully before we die, but if they are tortured to death by accident, then those of us who are carrying out missions outside will also die."

"The top leaders of the G18 don't like to use disobedient but sharp knives."

Fu Qianshen: ... He was stunned for a few seconds and seemed a little unbelievable: "You are so powerful, but you will still be abandoned?"

Seeing that Xiao Rui was completely furious, Fu Qianshen's eyes cleared up instead: "I'm sorry, I just think, well, after reading the ideas you and your boss have proposed, I think you are indeed very capable and worthy of the position of leader of the special operations team."

"Huh? Are you stupid?" Xiao Rui started cursing, but Fu Qianshen just laughed. "Anyway, I hope your family can be successfully rescued. I'm leaving now, and you should remember to eat well today."

Xiao Rui: ...If you don’t know her, you would think she is a child.

However, will Shengxia really abide by the agreement and rescue her family, or will she continue to use her after rescuing her?

Xiao Rui looked at the children not far away who were talking to Fu Qianshen with clear eyes. They were also going to the Basic Education College. Even in the current war era, these children were not abandoned. Shengxia was still taking care of them and even required their basic grades.

This may seem like an insignificant and trivial matter, but considering Xiao Rui's experience of carrying out missions on so many war-torn planets, this matter is simply weird and perverted. The better war-torn planets just let the children fend for themselves outside, and the better ones would provide humanitarian aid to the children, or temporarily open up adoption channels.

This is the upper limit. The lower limit is that humans are more useful and durable than machines.

But Planet Volker not only ensured food rations for all personnel during the war, but also ensured that the children could go to school normally. The professor even took the trouble to go to the shelter in person to teach knowledge. Ah, the magic of this planet is something I never dared to imagine even in my dreams in the past.

Anyway, I hope everything goes well.

As the Golden Fleet advanced, Xiao Rui's family was also taken away from the punishment room. The team members seemed to understand Xiao Rui's thoughts. They had a tacit understanding and took her family to the Saibans Starship Port on the planet Arka without any extra words. However, the team members still felt that the people from the planet Volk would not come to pick them up.

Xiao Rui's idea was a bit whimsical. Generally, the end result of reaching this point would be death, but at least they had supported each other for so many years. Xiao Rui wanted to be reunited with her family before she died, and the team members were willing to fulfill her wish.

Saipan Starship Port, although the recent maintenance of the 18-nation warship has led to a reduction in flights at this starship port, the overall number of passengers at the starship port has not decreased but has increased a lot.

A large number of internet celebrities and unknown people would rather stay in the starship port than miss the first flight to Planet Walker after the war.

Just when Xiao Rui's team members were hesitating about who to hand the person over to, Sheng Xia appeared in front of Xiao Rui's team members in an extremely unexpected way.

"You...you?"

"These are Xiao Rui's family members. They are quite good. Although there are not as many as I expected, they all look healthy."

"You...you?"

"Free birds, you are welcome to surrender."

After saying this, Shengxia took Xiao Rui's five family members and turned around to leave the waiting hall of Saiban Starship Port. After reacting, Agent Sales immediately asked Saiban Starship Port to block the entire harbor immediately, but the answer he got was: impossible.

"Shengxia has come to your starship port." "Are you kidding me? At this sensitive moment of war, why is the planetary commander of Planet Volk not commanding from his own planet but coming to ours? Is he on vacation? Hahaha."

I don't know if Alka is deliberately favoring Volk. Anyway, when Agent Searles reports all the intelligence and the 18-nation group turns to cause trouble for Alka,

Shengxia had already safely returned to Planet Volk on her own ship via the route escorted by the Golden Fleet.

Honestly, the moment Sheng Xia landed at the starship port on the Volk planet, Xiao Rui just wanted to rush up and shout, "Are you really crazy?!"

When a planetary commander went to pick up the family of an enemy who had surrendered to him while the war was going on and the future was uncertain, Xiao Rui thought that this was a real madman, a madman that her boss could never catch up with even after several lifetimes of cultivation.

"Everyone is here, and the hospital's consultation green channel has been opened for you. Shhh, I know you have a lot to say to me and your family. I still have work to deal with. You should finish talking to your family first and then come to me."

"Calm down, calm down." Fu Qianshen stood beside Xiao Rui. Seeing Xiao Rui's body trembling uncontrollably, he subconsciously reached out and patted her shoulder in a soothing manner. At the same time, he comforted Xiao Rui's family, "Don't worry, you are safe now."

Xiao Rui:!!!

When she turned around to look for Shengxia, she found that Shengxia had already left the Starship Port. When she looked again, Fu Qianshen had also left the Starship Port. Only the doctors and nurses of the Central Hospital were left to comfort Xiao Rui and tell her that the clinic was ready. By the way, considering the mental health of Xiao Rui's family, they also specially prepared a pink clinic this time.

Xiao Rui: ???!

Is this… is this reasonable? Isn’t there a war going on on Planet Volk? ! !
