Xia Chujian had already walked in, even to Huo Yushen's office, before Kang Shanxing arrived at the hatch of the Batfighter.
Huo Yushen’s Bat fighter is a large fighter as big as a medium-sized city. Its actual size is even larger than the Star Mothership!
Second only to the newly built Star Destroyer.
After entering from the cabin door, one has to go through nine procedures, pass nine checkpoints, take various elevators, and take a winding route that can make people dizzy before reaching the floor where Huo Yushen, the owner of the fighter plane, is.
While Kang Shanxing was passing those checkpoints, Xia Chujian had already gotten green lights all the way and arrived directly in front of Huo Yushen's office.
As soon as she came in, she received a message from Huo Yushen, who gave her mecha a special mark.
Having this special mark is equivalent to being recognized by the mechanical intelligence of the Bat fighter, and obtaining the highest authority, allowing you to pass through this large fighter plane that is like a medium-sized city without any obstacles.
So Xia Chujian came in much faster than Kang Shanxing.
When she sat in front of Huo Yushen, Kang Shanxing finally passed the second hurdle...
At this time, Xia Chujian certainly had no energy to pay attention to Kang Shanxing's movements.
She just asked quickly and eagerly: "Huo Shuai, do you know...why did the emperor arrest my aunt?!"
Huo Yushen's voice was still as cold and restrained as usual.
He said: "One reason for arresting your aunt might be for her genetic research, and another reason might be for you."
"Now, let's not talk about this for now."
Xia Chujian got anxious and said, "How can we not talk about it?!"
"That's my aunt!"
Huo Yushen said: "When you came here this time, how many people knew you were back?"
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said, "No one knows about the Fifth Interstellar Fleet."
"I'm often out on reconnaissance missions, and I always act alone."
"I just came back from the Zerg and saw the message Xia Xiong sent me, saying that Tantai Sinian had died, and then said that my aunt was the murderer and they wanted to arrest her."
"I rushed back without even having time to contact anyone. But when I got back, I discovered they weren't trying to capture us, they were clearly trying to massacre us!"
When Xia Chujian said the last sentence, the murderous intent in his tone was not concealed at all.
Huo Yushen nodded: "Okay, then just pretend you haven't come back yet."
"Once the situation here has settled down, you should go back to the part of the asteroid belt occupied by the Zerg. It would be best if you could bring back some more spoils."
Didn’t she just come back and leave again?
However, after a little thought, Xia Chujian understood Huo Yushen's intention.
He wanted to prove that he had nothing to do with the incident and create an alibi.
This is also to shut up people in the future and prevent them from tampering with these procedural issues.
Now that Xia Chujian knew about this incident, she could stay out of it.
Perhaps, it is not yet time to completely break off relations with those people.
But what about her aunt?
Xia Chujian immediately asked, "Huo Shuai, my aunt was...captured by the Emperor and taken to Beichen Star. She should be passing through the wormhole now. How can I rescue her?"
Huo Yushen stared at her and said, "Being taken away by His Majesty the Emperor, have you ever thought about why His Majesty took your aunt away?"
Xia Chujian pursed her lips, frowned, and said, "...I don't know, maybe it's for me? Threatening me with my aunt?"
"Or perhaps, my aunt's treatment of genetic diseases angered... the Emperor?"
After all, the person she cured is now the first in line to the throne!
This kind of person should be...the biggest threat to the emperor!
Huo Yushen looked at her intently and said, "Your aunt has already cured the genetic disease. What's the point of looking for your aunt again?"
Xia Chujian also thought it made sense and said, "That's right. He's already been cured. If I ask my aunt again, does that mean she wants to treat more people? Absolutely not."
"If there were more people with genetic diseases, it would be understandable if they came to my aunt on their own."
"...The emperor would never come to my aunt to treat those people."
"So, if that's ruled out, then the only thing left is to threaten me?"
"Capturing my aunt, you can threaten me?!"
Xia Chujian took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and said, "Then this... the emperor really did the right thing!"
If the Dog Emperor targeted her directly, she would never surrender even if she died.
However, if her aunt was caught, then she... might have to surrender.
But she didn't tell Huo Yushen this.
Because Huo Yushen said: "No, if the emperor wants you to do something, he can just summon you directly. He doesn't need to use any threats."
"This circuitous way of doing things is unlike the emperor's personality, nor is it the way people in his position would handle problems."
Xia Chujian curled her lips and said, "You speak as if you have sat in that position before... Do you know what the emperor would think? What would he do?"
"Even if you knew, can you be sure that they won't change at all?!"
"I've read all those little online articles and know that emperors are creatures that fear others guessing what they will do. That's why they eat very evenly, taking three bites of each dish."
"If you like someone, you have to pretend not to like them, and even worship them and pretend to like them, using the euphemism of being a shield."
"Are they afraid of letting others know their preferences?! — It's absolutely insane!"
Huo Yushen stared at her and said, "...Actually, they're not worried about others knowing their preferences, but they're worried about being poisoned..."
