Huo Yushen's heart moved.
Their meeting today was not an emergency meeting behind closed doors, and everyone was not required to leave their communication tools outside the meeting room.
However, this was also a very important pre-war mobilization meeting.
Those who are able to sit here today are all high-ranking officials of the empire who absolutely have real power.
It can be said that if someone suddenly threw a high-energy explosive into this conference room at this time, the upper echelons of the entire empire would be completely reshuffled.
However, Huo Yushen thought about it, stood up quietly and left the meeting room.
He found a small, empty room, went in, and activated his own exclusive quantum program protection to prevent anyone from peeping.
Then he answered Xia Chujian's video call invitation.
Xia Chujian waited for a while, but there was no response from Huo Yushen. She thought he was not available to answer the call, and was about to hang up when she found out that the other party had accepted her invitation.
On the virtual display screen, the figure of Huo Yushen in military uniform appeared.
Xia Chujian calmed down and said, "Huo Shuai, is it inconvenient for you to talk on the phone?"
"If you don't have time now, I can wait until it's convenient for you."
Huo Yushen responded coldly and briefly: "...you say."
Huo Yushen didn't care, so Xia Chujian didn't care even more.
Anyway, she has already reminded him, and since Huo Yushen answered the call, it means that there should be no problem with this time.
Although it's late now.
Xia Chujian recounted what happened today, including how she received the distress message from Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong, and quickly activated a small bat-like fighter jet that could jump through space, and went to Mulan City on Guiyuan Star to provide rescue.
She said regretfully, "...I was still a step too late. Song Mingqian and Sister Cai were both dead. I only had time to kill the sixty-eight assassins and bury them with them."
"After I returned to Beichen Star, I reported the case to the Correctional Services Department and the Special Security Bureau branch in Mulan City."
"I don't know if you've reported this to me. Maybe not, because Song Mingqian and Sister Cai are both ordinary people. Their status isn't that high, so they might not be in your eyes."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He listened quietly before saying, "You want to find the real murderer who killed Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong?"
Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes, those sixty-eight people are just killers. Behind them, there are people who direct them."
"Also, they killed Song Mingqian and Sister Cai this morning while they were taking wedding photos in Mulan City..."
Xia Chujian paused for a moment, waiting for her emotions to recover before continuing, "In the afternoon, those people actually killed Song Mingqian and Sister Cai's entire family!"
Huo Yushen raised his eyes slightly: "...kill Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong's family as well?"
He had originally thought it was just a vendetta between bounty hunters.
Xia Chujian said that Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong were ordinary people, but he was just saying that.
Huo Yushen knew that they were not ordinary people.
They are all high-level genetic evolvers, and they are also bounty hunters.
To put it bluntly, these two have killed countless people for bounties, and now they are being killed, most likely for revenge.
But when he heard Xia Chujian say that not only Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong were killed, but even their families were killed, he immediately realized that this was not an ordinary revenge between bounty hunters.
Huo Yushen is very familiar with the bounty hunter business.
Everyone has a tacit understanding that "misfortune will not affect family members."
Even if there is a life-and-death dispute between bounty hunters, it will end with the death of one party or both parties.
It is absolutely impossible for one party to kill the other party's entire family after knowing the truth.
We are all bounty hunters. If we put ourselves in their shoes, we will not do such a thing that will destroy our entire family.
So he is now certain that the deaths of Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong were definitely not disputes between bounty hunters.
There is indeed someone else behind this.
Huo Yushen said, "I haven't seen the details of this case yet. I'll have Kang Shanxing go to Guiyuanxing to lead the investigation."
Sending one of his most capable men to investigate a small case was indeed the ultimate for someone of Huo Yushen's level.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and continued, "And just now, when I was talking to Ye Shijie about this on the video call, I saw with my own eyes that someone was also chasing him..."
"A long-range sniper, a small combat aircraft, and a high-level genetic evolver rushed directly into his room."
Huo Yushen's brows gradually knitted together: "...Ye Shijie was also killed?"
Since three groups of people suddenly attacked Ye Shijie, Huo Yushen didn't think there was any chance of Ye Shijie surviving.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Uh... he hasn't been killed yet..."
"I was on a video call with him and saw a sniper on the floor across from him and a small combat aircraft in mid-air. I asked him if he had any shoulder-fired rocket launchers at home."
"He said there was..."
"Then, he fired three rockets, killing the long-range sniper, blowing up the small combat aircraft, and incidentally blasting the high-level genetic evolver who had just rushed over... into pieces..."
"Then he was picked up by his friends..."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, Huo Yushen stood up and said, "Go wait for me in that Bat Fighter now. I'll be there soon!"
Xia Chujian was confused and thought, could it be that Huo Yushen was also worried that someone would come to hunt her down?
But she was not worried about herself, she was worried about her family on Guiyuan Star!
Xia Chujian rejected Huo Yushen's proposal without hesitation and said calmly, "Huo Shuai, you don't need to come over. It will take up too much time."
