Then came a series of animated pictures of cats kowtowing and crying, which dazzled Huo Yushen.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he sent a call invitation encrypted with quantum entanglement.
Xia Chujian's sleepiness disappeared completely, and he answered the call energetically.
Soon, a virtual display screen encrypted with quantum entanglement appeared in front of her.
Huo Yushen's face, as handsome as an iceberg and as unkind as an iceberg, then appeared in front of her.
Xia Chujian still looked surprised and asked persistently, "Huo Shuai, it's really you! What mission did my leader go on? Why didn't he take me with him?!"
Xia Chujian wanted to test Huo Yushen's attitude to decide whether to tell him what had happened.
But Huo Yushen said lightly: "He is your leader. Whatever he wants to do, he has to report to you."
"...Of course he doesn't need to report to me, but I'm his subordinate. Aren't subordinates supposed to carry out tasks together with their superiors?" Xia Chujian looked hurt and complained bitterly, "Or do you still look down on me and don't treat me as a formal employee?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
His expression remained unchanged as he spoke sternly, "Alright, you're right to worry about your leader's safety, and that's commendable. But he also has his own responsibilities and needs to carry out missions at his level. If you want to help him, you can. Train hard. Once you reach his level, you can carry out missions with him. Otherwise, you'll be holding him back."
Xia Chujian's eyes rolled and he thought, why am I holding back?
Without me, Meng Guanghui and his group would all die in that inexplicable hell-like place!
She was about to blurt out the matter of the pocket planet when the shell of the red spider lily pendant on her neck suddenly emitted a weak electric current, inexplicably pricking her.
This interruption made Xia Chujian swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth and change the subject, "Huo Shuai, this time when I arrived at Zangge Star, I met Zong Ruoan and Chief Quan. They were both trying to get information from me in a roundabout way. Tell me, is it really abnormal to fly through the asteroid belt in twelve hours?"
Huo Yushen ignored her nonsense and got to the point: "Whether it's normal or not depends on how you fly. Tell me how you flew across the asteroid belt in twelve hours."
Unlike Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoan, Huo Yushen had a preconceived notion and directly believed that Xia Chujian was capable of flying at such a speed.
Xia Chujian admired Huo Yushen's trust in her abilities, so she revealed more information to Huo Yushen.
She restrained her expression and said seriously, "Huo Shuai, something strange did happen this time. Are you sure that no third person could eavesdrop on our conversation?"
Huo Yushen said, "The Special Security Bureau's highest-level quantum entanglement confidentiality system will absolutely prevent any third party from eavesdropping, including those within the Special Security Bureau."
Xia Chujian nodded: "I believe in Huo Shuai. This time, the reason why we were able to fly so fast..."
Huo Yushen interrupted her: "...We? You're not alone?"
Xia Chujian said: "No, it's me and my three roommates."
"The magnetic field in the asteroid belt is very unstable, and there are often electromagnetic storms. It is impossible to connect electromagnetic signals in it. How did you fly with your roommate's three fighter jets?" Huo Yushen asked very practical technical questions.
Xia Chujian also said frankly: "Leader Meng suggested that I use a wired connection."
"...wired connection?" Huo Yushen was speechless.
Wasn't this his idea?
He had just said it casually at the time, because he knew the feasibility was basically zero, so he had never thought that Xia Chujian would "realize" it for him...
Of course, he didn't want to admit that he had been pretending to be Meng Guanghui for a long time.
So he continued indifferently, "...Using fiber optic cables? Great idea, but our empire currently doesn't have such strong fiber optic cables to connect you to your fighter jets while you're on the asteroid belt."
Xia Chujian was silent for a moment, then said, "You might not believe this, but this nano-fiber optic data cable we received from the flight base not only works well in the asteroid belt, but also... also..."
"What else?"
Xia Chujian shrank his neck and whispered, "It also crushed a star rock and... an Aurora-class star fighter."
Huo Yushen understood immediately: "You killed a student? An ordinary student or a noble student?"
"He fired at me first! A space ion beam cannon!" Xia Chujian said confidently, "My three roommates can testify to that! The situation was extremely critical at the time. We all thought we were doomed, but when that man rushed between our four fighter jets, he got entangled in the fiber optic data cables connecting them..."
And then, nothing happened.
Huo Yushen asked, "Have you recorded the evidence?"
"We recorded it, of course we did! But after the electromagnetic storm, all the surveillance footage failed. There's nothing, just electromagnetic snow." Xia Chujian said worriedly, "Huo Shuai, can you restore the footage? That's evidence that proves our innocence!"
Huo Yushen thought for a moment and said, "Based on the energy intensity of the magnetic storm in the Sester asteroid belt, the damage to the electromagnetic equipment on your fighter planes is at the physical level. No one can restore monitoring equipment of this level."
Xia Chujian showed a disappointed expression: "Ah? What should we do? What if the people at the base find out? Will they believe we are innocent?"
Huo Yushen asked calmly: "...Are you innocent?"
"Of course I am! I am the most peaceful person. If they don't provoke me, I will pretend they don't exist!" Xia Chujian waved his fist indignantly.
Huo Yushen nodded and said, "I will investigate. Don't tell anyone else, and ask your roommate to keep it a secret as well."
Then, he thought of the nano-scale fiber optic data cable that Xia Chujian mentioned, frowned, and said, "...Are you sure you used that fiber optic data cable to kill the other party? Didn't the other party disintegrate by colliding with the star rock fragments in the asteroid belt?"
