The security guard, who was reading a newspaper, looked up at the security camera and spotted a car he hadn't seen in a long time. "General Xia, it's been a long time. Are you feeling better?"

Xia Shizhao nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now and can basically move around freely."

Everything was fine after passing the test by the Mermaid Sea.

She knew that merfolk bodies were very resilient.

But I didn't expect it to be so durable.

The fracture healed in a few days.

As for such a fracture...

The past was too painful to recall. Xia Shizhao rubbed her forehead in exasperation. When did she develop this annoying habit of sleepwalking?

Walking into the empty cell, Xia Shizhao raised an eyebrow, his eyes darkening, and directly activated his personal terminal: "Ruxuan, where is the person locked up?"

Liu Ruxuan rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head back, and pursed her lips, seemingly somewhat depressed: "Now we can't have any contact with her."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Ruxuan hesitated, then took a deep breath. Her expression seemed to break down, and she almost shouted in disbelief, "Gu Ke... she broke her out of prison!"

"..."

"How is that possible?"

Xia Shizhao subconsciously denied it.

“I also think it’s impossible, but… but… the surveillance footage shows her. She didn’t succeed and is now being held in custody. I don’t even know where she is. Chi Xin and I have even been suspended from our jobs for six months.”

After Liu Ruxuan finished speaking, her shoulders slumped, and she looked dejected.

There was still a hint of worry in his tone.

If you could see the person, you could at least find out what happened. But now that you can't see them, their fate is unknown.

She was disgusted by the betrayal, but she was also very upset; feelings are not something that can be let go of in an instant.

"Are you free to move around now?"

Liu Ruxuan shook her head. "No, we'll be monitored if we go out, and we can't leave the Star Alliance Sphere right now."

After saying that, she scratched her head in frustration. "Anyway, you'd better not come looking for us, or you'll be monitored too. The struggle between the two factions is too intense right now, and many people are being dragged into it. You'd better not get involved and protect yourself."

After listening to her mutter a lot about the current situation and quickly completing her analysis, Xia Shizhao nodded thoughtfully.

What are Luo Chuyi and the others waiting for? If they don't use Blood Rose now, they'll be forced to quit.

beep beep beep—

The personal terminal emitted a rapid beeping sound, and Xia Shizhao opened the message.

Luo Chuyi: "General Xia, you've finally shown up! Please come to Blood Rose immediately! It's extremely urgent!!"

Confuse.

Full of doubt.

Xia Shizhao scratched his cheek and drove towards the headquarters of Blood Rose.

Using his pupils to identify himself, Xia Shizhao pushed open the headquarters door.

There are five people in the meeting room.

Luo Chuyi, Bai Jing, Su Yibai, Wen Xiu, Fu Ziran.

They were all people Ye Qiuling trusted.

Looking at the five of them strangely, Xia Shizhao casually pulled out a chair and sat down. "What do you want from me?"

Luo Chuyi pushed the memory box in front of Xia Shizhao, her tone very serious: "You'll know once you've read it."

Mysteriously, Xia Shizhao opened the memory box, and Ye Qiuling's image floated in the air.

Ye Qiuling's eyes were at the same level as Xia Shizhao's, who was sitting down, which caught her completely off guard.

In an instant, people from different times crossed time and space and looked at each other.

Xia Shizhao was stunned for a moment, and then she saw a faint smile in Ye Qiuling's eyes, with a hint of gentleness, as she looked at her seriously and spoke.

After listening to what Ye Qiuling said.

The entire conference room fell silent.

Xia Shizhao touched the back of his neck with a complicated expression; his already aching head throbbed even more.

Isn't Ye Qiuling acting recklessly...?

Take over Blood Rose.

This burden is too heavy.

She pursed her lips and looked up at the others, "You guys also think I can do it?"

"Yes."

They answered in unison.

Xia Shizhao gently pressed his index finger against his forehead.

She opened her eyes again, stood up, and took the box from Luo Chuyi's hand. Inside was Ye Qiuling's execution badge.

He stared at her intently for a moment, his expression complex.

Xia Shizhao pinned the badge symbolizing the leader of the Blood Rose to his left shoulder.

She looked at the memory box, put the things away, and decided to protect the Blood Rose until Ye Qiuling returned.

But now…

She seems to have the authority to check on Gu Ke's situation.

Betrayal or...
