Xia Chujian closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart.
She hates it!
If she had come earlier...
But she also knew that no matter how early she arrived, facing this defenseless massacre, she might not be able to save everyone even if she was on the scene.
Because there were too many killers sent by the other side.
Xia Chujian looked around and found that there was indeed no one alive here.
She then said to Qilu, "Qilu, change my coordinates to Beichen Star. I want to call the police."
Qi Lu disguised her coordinates, and then Xia Chujian reported the case to the Special Security Bureau branch and the Disciplinary Bureau in Mulan City respectively.
At the same time, she also sent a message to Ye Shijie.
She did not send a verbal message, but forwarded to him the distress messages that Song Mingqian and Sister Cai sent to her before they died.
Ye Shijie replied almost immediately.
He sent her a video call invitation.
Xia Chujian had already driven the mecha and flew towards his small bat fighter that was suspended in mid-air.
At the same time, I heard the loud and shrill sound of sirens coming from far away, and someone was coming.
She felt relieved, returned to her small bat fighter, and started the space jump.
Fifteen minutes later, she returned to the atmosphere of Beichen Star and answered Ye Shijie's video call invitation.
Ye Shijie looked very nervous and said, "Chu Jian, is something wrong?!"
"What happened to Song Mingqian and Sister Cai?! Is it still too late to save them?"
Xia Chujian said calmly: "It's too late, it's too late."
"I've already called the police. I hope Gui Yuanxing can find out what happened right away."
She didn't say that she had already made a trip to Guiyuan Star.
Because Xia Chujian didn't want others to know that she had a bat fighter that could perform space jumps, she did not tell Ye Shijie about her actions.
Everyone who knew that she had just gone to Guiyuan Star is dead.
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
Although Huo Yushen never asked her to keep it a secret from others, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself or Huo Yushen.
Such equipment is her greatest backup.
At critical moments, it can be a powerful weapon.
But this time, she was still slow.
But the main reason was that Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong were completely unprepared, so they failed to notify her immediately.
If they had been prepared, when those people came to kill them, they could have sent her messages while finding a place to hide, or even if they didn't hide, they could have fought back in groups of two with their backs to back, and they could have held out for fifteen minutes.
However, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong held on for fifteen minutes and only sent a message to Xia Chujian when they realized they couldn't win.
It's really too late...
But why!
Why on earth is this happening?!
Who did they offend?
Who had to travel several light years to Guiyuanxing to kill them?!
The first thing Xia Chujian thought of was their identity as bounty hunters.
Did they offend someone while performing their mission?
After all, Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong have been bounty hunters for much longer than her.
She only did it for three years.
Ping Qiong did it for seven years.
Eight years before the Song and Ming dynasties.
Could it be like this?
Or is there another reason?
Ye Shijie said in frustration: "How could this happen?! Why didn't they call the police earlier?!"
Xia Chujian said, "Captain Ye, do you know who hates them so much and wants to kill them?"
Ye Shijie thought for a moment and said, "Actually, they don't have any enemies."
"When they first joined the Night Hunters, they teamed up with me."
"I have far more enemies than they do. At most, they are just keeping me informed..."
"So I can't imagine why someone would not come to kill me, but would kill them."
Xia Chujian nodded: "I think so too, then they are not the enemies of the Night Hunters."
As Xia Chujian said this, her mind couldn't help but recall the last words Li Fu said to her in the video: "...Be careful of the Crown Princess."
Could it be this Crown Princess Tan Tai Jing?
It's not that she has to think about the Crown Princess.
But...the mission they recently took on had some overlap with what the Crown Princess asked Li Fu to do.
Xia Chujian was not very familiar with the Crown Princess's style of doing things, and Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong had nothing to do with the identity of "Bai Cuiwei".
Just as Ye Shijie said just now, if the enmity was because of that action, or even because of the ownership of Li Fu's inheritance, then the Crown Princess should have come to kill her instead of killing the unrelated Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong.
Even killing Ye Shijie is more logical than killing Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong.
Thinking of this, Xia Chujian tentatively asked Ye Shijie: "Captain Ye, is this case related to... the case we took on a while ago about protecting a noble lady?"
Ye Shijie frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I don't think it matters."
"In that mission, the two of them were just outsiders from beginning to end. They were only on guard at the perimeter."
"Again, if it's because of the previous mission, then the one being hunted should be me."
Ye Shijie is very clear about his own identity.
Xia Chujian nodded silently.
The two discussed several possibilities, but could not figure out who killed Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong.
Xia Chujian thought of what Song Mingqian had said before his death: those people came from Beichen Star...
But on Beichen Star, their team only took on small missions, none of which were life-threatening.
So after all the twists and turns, it's still related to their mission to protect the lady?
