"Chocolate..." Jiang Jianyue pondered, "What's wrong with it?"

Austin curled his lips. "It relaxes you, makes you addicted... and then, turns you into something else."

Mutagen.

"Are you sure it's chocolate? Not something else? Like a bonbon."

Pei Ji's voice was frighteningly low.

"What kind of hard candy?" Austin asked.

"Like this." Jiang Jianyue took out the candy she hadn't eaten from her pocket.

Austin took it and took a look.

"It's different. That chocolate has a golden center."

Pei Ji and Donald breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Jiang Jianyue: "You said it will be released on the anniversary day? Is it possible to release a limited edition in advance, or a taste test?"

The anniversary day is also the opening day of the Mecha League, which is still ten days away, but if the taste samples were released in advance, they might already be available at the market.

Austin rubbed his temple, "I'm not sure... but probably not."

"Their goal is to prevent the Royal Court from having time to react, so they probably won't release it in advance," Pei Ji said.

Austin sighed wearily, "But we'll publicize it in advance."

In order to get this kind of thing into the hands of the star citizens in large quantities in a short period of time, whether it is chocolate or other candies, its advertisements must have been promoted extensively on the star network and offline.

"I think we need to go to the market right away." Jiang Jianyue said.

The other two nodded.

"Go as soon as possible," Austin said. "It will be too late if you delay."

Jiang Jianyue looked at him and said, "Anyway...thank you."

Austin shook his head.

"Don't thank me." He seemed to have exhausted all his strength. "I'm not a good person..."

Before leaving, Austin mentioned another name to the three people.

Lu Sirang.

"He even noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Sirang."

In the hovercraft, Jiang Jianyue tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips.

Lu Sirang is Austin's boss.

Austin noticed that he had been in close contact with Irving in the past year.

"Didn't you notice that there was something wrong with him before?" Jiang Jianyue looked at Pei Ji.

"Before?" Pei Ji glanced at her. "How long ago?"

Jiang Jianyue sighed, "Don't play dumb with me. The Fifth Fleet was also there in the battle on Baisha Star a while ago, right? I heard there was quite a conflict with the Fourth Fleet, and even the Military Discipline Department got involved."

"Ah...you were talking about that bastard who interfered with my battle at the crucial moment."

Pei Ji narrated the situation at that time without including the beginning and the end.

Jiang Jianyue: "He obviously did it on purpose, didn't the Queen become suspicious?"

Pei Ji spread his hands. "He didn't interfere in the battle. He just connected with me, causing me to be injured. From the perspective of the Military Discipline Department, there is no problem."

It is legal and compliant for a commander to command individual soldiers to fight, and it is normal for individual soldiers to be injured.

The Military Discipline Department of the Seventh Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Fleet.

Unlike the previous six fleets, the Seventh Fleet is a mobile fleet that does not need to cruise regularly. It only needs to provide assistance when other fleets are in trouble, and to perform supervision and punishment on behalf of the Queen.

Because of this, its leader only takes orders from the Queen.

"The Military Discipline Department's opinion reflects the Empress's opinion," Jiang Jianyue said. "Since Feng Shixu didn't punish Lu Sirang, it means the Empress tacitly approved of this matter."

Pei Ji changed the subject: "The Queen must be suspicious too."

Although Carolina did not convict Lu Sirang, she talked to Shen Que on the phone for a long time that day, and Shen Que looked unhappy when she came back.

He was still in the susceptible period at the time, so Shen Que didn't say much, just told him the result.

"Who is Lu Sirang's operations officer?" Pei Ji suddenly asked.

"Marquis Arnold," Jiang Jianyue said, "is another small shareholder of the Tree of Life Star Network. His father is a veteran council member and a supporter of Her Royal Highness the Princess. He has always had a good relationship with Duke Owen."

"Come to think of it..." She suddenly thought of something, "Feng Shixu's operations officer seems to be Mr. Chu Yang."

Chu Yang?

Pei Ji frowned.

He is also someone who has a close relationship with the princess.

…

The hovercraft landed in the lower city.

It was already evening, and the neon lights intertwined into a sea of ​​light, reflecting the sunset on the horizon.

The three of them walked out of the cabin and were instantly attracted by the aroma of food wafting in the air.

It's time for dinner.

"Let's get down to business first." Jiang Jianyue glanced at the bustling market, "I'll treat you when we're done."

Pei Ji turned sideways and looked at the row of brightly lit restaurants on the street.

Jiang Jianyue patted him.

"You are destined to dine with us tonight."

The three of them split up and made their way through the crowd, collecting all the candy brochures from the stalls.

An hour later, the three of them sat in a pancake shop filled with the aroma of meat, looking at the information they had collected.

The good news is that a new chocolate bar that fits Austin's description has been found. The bad news is that there's more than one.

"At least they haven't been released yet."

Jiang Jianyue compared the final selected introduction list.

The same exquisite packaging, the same golden lava center, the price and ingredients all match Austin's description.

"There's still time." She put down the order, "Let's eat first."

The golden and crispy scones are already on the table.

The thin crust is sprinkled with crispy sesame seeds, and the layers of rich fillings make the crust bulge out.

Chopped green onions, minced meat and sauce flow out from one side, and the aroma stimulates the taste buds.

"Petis Golden Scones can't be eaten on other planets." Jiang Jianyue tied her hair elegantly.

Donald started first, the aroma of meat bursting in his mouth. He ate half a scone in one bite, and finished the whole scone in two bites.
