Without the "outsiders", the conference room instantly became quiet.
Chu Rong pretended to have forgotten to clear out Georgia, the "irrelevant person", and kicked the middle-aged fat man who was still lying on the ground, saying, "I'll give you three minutes. If you can't come up with any valuable clues, I don't mind 'calculating' what you did in the Federation first, and then sending you back to the Empire."
The middle-aged fat man, Bart, was horrified when he heard this. He didn't care about the pain all over his fat body. He got up from the ground and said quickly: "Before I left home, I secretly hid a miniature space button on my body. I was caught by the miners but luckily I was not discovered. After I got here, I used the things in the space button to bribe a new miner and got a set of old protective clothing. I also got some information. I..."
"Get to the point." Chu Rong interrupted his nonsense and deliberately checked the time: "You have two minutes."
Bart choked and quickly swallowed the nonsense he had just started to talk about. He said directly: "The new guy told me that he is actually a federal. If I provide him with enough money, he can bring me into the mining organization and settle down in the federation. Believe me, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, you can call the miner over to confront him!"
"What if you are conspiring with each other and trying to drag the federals into the water?" Xiang Hui interrupted, with a look of "I am very smart, don't try to fool us wise federals", frowned and looked at Chu Rong, trying to persuade: "Marshal Chu, my words are not credible, I think--"
Chu Rong didn't even look at him, and waved his hand at Lin Zhen: "Bring up all the miners who have had contact with him."
Lin Zhen got up and left the meeting room without saying a word.
The other party's attitude clearly showed that they were treating him like air. Xiang Hui felt annoyed. He looked at Bart who was cowering on the side and wished he could go over and punch him a few times to shut his mouth!
After a few minutes, Lin Zhen came back with a few people.
"It's him! He's the one who promised to help me! He's a federal!" Bart pointed at one of the younger-looking miners and shouted.
The young miner was confused as to why he and his companions were brought out. When he saw Bart, he was shocked and immediately realized what was going on. He frowned and shouted, "Who are you? I don't know you. Don't talk nonsense!"
Bart was furious when it came to his own safety. He shouted, "Bell, stop playing dumb! I gave you so many good things, including an ice crystal bracelet. There are only a few of those in the entire empire. Don't say you don't have them!"
Chu Rong looked at Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen understood, flipped open the file and took a look, then replied, "The miner, Bell, claimed to be from a C-class planet in the Empire. When he was arrested, he had three space buttons on his body, and there was indeed an ice crystal bracelet inside."
Bell's expression changed and he began to regret his greed for money.
The other miners also understood what was going on. Under normal circumstances, they would have wanted to tear Bell into pieces, but at this moment, they were in no mood to care about it. They just tried to minimize their presence, with sweat on their foreheads. Why were the Xiang family here? Could it be that their identities had been exposed? Could they still use their identities as the empire to find loopholes and escape this time?
Chu Rong took in their reactions one by one, and finally looked at Bell and asked, "Which federation sent you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Bell didn't look at him, slowly moved closer to his companions, and said stubbornly: "I am a resident of the Empire. You federal people have no right to detain me. I demand to return home!"
Chu Rong didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him, and looked at Bart again, saying in a gloomy tone: "I need more detailed clues and identification. You must have them, right?"
He has a perfect and handsome face, but his aura is so terrifying... Bart trembled and was about to say that this was really all he knew. His eyes swept across Chu Rong's white hair that made his facial features look even colder and harder. An idea flashed through his mind and his eyes suddenly widened.
The Chu family of the Federation is a large family that has been passed down for more than a thousand years. The family symbol is black hair and black eyes, but this generation has an outlier who is born with white hair. He is Chu Rong, the second young master of the Chu family, who was born with SSS-level mental strength qualification!
According to legend, the genius second young master of the Chu family watched his parents die in the human-insect war ten years ago, and his mental strength was wasted. He was greatly stimulated, and his temperament became irritable and irritable. He killed people without mercy, and his patience was very poor. He hated others' disobedience and resistance. Even the princes and princesses of the imperial capital star had to cower when they saw him. The most important thing was that because of the sacrifice and decisive contribution of the second young master of the Chu family and his parents in that tragic war, the second young master Chu had some privileges in some aspects, such as directly executing a prisoner who made him unhappy without taking any responsibility...
And now, on the Chu family's warship, he actually saw a white-haired man who was suspected to be the leader.
He recalled his own reckless screams and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His instinct for survival made his mind race, and some details that he had previously ignored came to mind, jumping around in his mind.
"I remember!" He suddenly shouted excitedly, waving his hands comically: "When I got the old protective suit, an old communicator fell off it. Later, the communicator was snatched away by Bell. I glanced at the screen of the communicator and saw a vague badge pattern on it, like a family badge, with a white background and silver graphics, and printed on it seemed to be a side view of a mecha head--" He stopped abruptly when he said this, remembering the families in the Federation that used this badge. He turned his head in fear and looked at Xiang Hui in a white military uniform. His heart skipped a beat when he was stabbed by the other's cold gaze.
Chu Rong also looked at Xiang Hui, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an expression that seemed like a smile.
Xiang Hui withdrew his gaze, adjusted his cuffs gracefully, and suddenly moved his fingers.
Several miners who were hiding in the background suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Bart. Seeing this, Fan Xiangnan and Lin Zhen's eyes became sharp and they stepped forward to stop them. Georgia, who was standing behind Fan Xiangnan, relied on her short stature and agility to rush to Bart first, then took out the ball from the storage ring and threw it at the miners who rushed over.
"go!"
The ball swelled and grew larger in mid-air, and the vines all spread out, waving towards the miners and tying them up tightly.
"Excellent." Chu Rong stood up and clapped his hands. He walked forward and threw Bart to Fan Xiangnan. He stood beside Georgia to block Xiang Hui's view of him. He knocked on the table and asked almost cordially, "Colonel Xiang, I think we need to talk."
Several federal officials sitting next to Xiang Hui moved aside inconspicuously, wishing they had never been to this conference room. They were just small shrimps with no real power who depended on the four major families for survival. It was not a good thing for them to know too much.
"We do need to talk." Xiang Hui suppressed his emotions and forced a smile. He also stood up and looked Chu Rong in the eye. He said, "I heard that the Chu family is still short of some rare materials to repair the family flagship that was damaged in the last war. Perhaps the Xiang family can help."
This means we need to negotiate conditions to settle the matter privately. Xiang Hui is quite good at finding entry points.
Chu Rong looked at the federal officials next to him and said politely, "Dinner time is almost here, why don't you go eat first?"
The federal officials got up and ran without hesitation as if they had been pardoned.
Georgia glanced at Chu Rong's back standing in front of her, then looked at Qiuqiu who was still tied up with the miner, and said sullenly, "Take good care of Qiuqiu and return it to me when you are done." She turned and left.
With Xiang Hui around, Chu Rong naturally pretended not to hear this sentence, and even his expression did not change.
Fan Xiangnan caught up with Georgia by sending Bart out.
"Thank you for today."
Fan Xiangnan used a closed protective shield to cover Bart's five senses, caught up with Georgia, and spoke gently.
"I'm the one who has caused you trouble." Georgia looked back at him, slowed down her pace to match his, thought for a moment, took out a small bag embroidered with a leaf mark from the storage ring, handed it over and said, "Please pass it to--" Halfway through her words, she remembered that the white-haired monster had never told her his name, and her face became even more tense.
"Give it to him for me." After stuffing the small bag into Fan Xiangnan's hand, he quickly returned to the room with his ears drooping.
Fan Xiangnan watched him leave, took a look at the obviously handmade small bag in his hand, and sighed with amusement and heartwarming - this kid, his mood is really written on his face.
After an hour of secret talks, Xiang Hui and his men left in a hurry. When they left, they looked extremely sullen and didn't even bother to put on a show. The federal officials who were waiting to see which way the wind was blowing saw this and said goodbye one after another, and followed suit, not daring to stay on Chu Rong's warship any longer.
It was so simple to get rid of the annoying person, and also to extort a large sum of money from the Xiang family whom they disliked. Uncle Chu's mood brightened up. Just as he was about to go to dinner, he received a small bag from Fan Xiangnan with a smile.
He glanced at the leaf mark on his pocket, and asked, "Has he not eaten yet?"
Fan Xiangnan nodded and replied, "He probably didn't eat. He went straight back to his room after leaving the meeting room."
Chu Rong pinched his pocket and ordered, "Ask the kitchen to send two dinners to his room and prepare some extra fruit."
Fan Xiangnan asked knowingly: "Two?"
Chu Rong looked at him coldly, didn't reply, and walked out towards Area E1.
The part was hammering at the critical point when the door was suddenly knocked and Chu Rong's voice came from outside the door. Georgia's hand trembled, the hammer tilted, and the part was hammered crooked. He frowned, hit his right hand with his left hand, then put down the hammer and walked forward to open the door.
"Something wrong?" he asked sullenly.
Chu Rong glanced at his lowered head and listless ears, raised his hand and pinched them, lifted him up by the back of his neck, went into the house and closed the door, glanced at the scattered parts and tools and the small mecha with a missing piece of its body, put him down, rubbed his hair, and asked, "Do you like mechas?"
Georgia covered her head and sat on the floor beside the bed. She was silent for a while, and finally nodded obediently - the other party had helped her so much, and it would be too willful to ignore him for such a small matter as a name, and she would be hated.
A grumpy little devil.
Chu Rong retracted his gaze, sat on the ground like him, stretched out his hand to pull his ear, and scolded, "You are useless." After that, he retracted his hand, took out a mecha model from the space button, and put it directly into his arms by virtue of his long arms.
"Here you go, cheapskate."
The level of detail of the official mecha model could not be compared with the toy version of mecha production pictures found on the computer. Georgia immediately forgot to be angry. She clasped her hands together and carefully picked up the mecha. She touched its arms and legs, looked at the weapon slots and the mini cockpit, her eyes shining and the love on her face almost overflowing.
Chu Rong sat on the side and watched his happy expression. He suddenly felt that this moment was very warm and relaxing. His expression unconsciously relaxed - so this is what it feels like to have a pet. It's not bad.
In his chest pocket, the magic stone engraved with a magic circle was slowly rotating, absorbing all the "bad things" it could sense.
