"Sure enough..." Pei Ji whispered.
Luo Yuan continued, "Chu Yang built many orphanages throughout the empire. I traveled to several planets and found that a small number of them had been abandoned."
"These abandoned orphanages, without exception, are all located on marginal planets with poor public security, and they received his donations within a month of their abandonment."
"And those children in the orphanage..."
Luo Yuan paused.
"There's no news."
Pei Ji leaned back, his eyes dark and unclear.
Luo Yuan's bitter voice came from the other side: "I finally understand why those people wanted to 'kill' us when we were hiding from the wind and snow in the abandoned orphanage... I also finally understand why Lingyu said that I smell like him."
"They've been experimenting on children, Admiral."
"This bastard..." Pei Ji's eyes were as dark as ink, and his lips were tightened into a straight line.
"Lingyu should also be one of their experimental subjects." Luo Yuan said, "They have been researching mutants for a long time. I found another abandoned laboratory near the ruins of Jiluo Star and plan to go check it out tomorrow."
"Have you got some key evidence?" Pei Ji asked.
"Am I not the key evidence?" Luo Yuan chuckled.
Pei Ji didn't laugh.
Luo Yuan withdrew his smile and lowered his voice:
"Children in orphanages don't have IDs. They're like discarded garbage. No one would notice if they disappeared. But back then, a few of our slum kids had IDs. What if..."
He paused.
"I can find their remains in that laboratory... even if it's just bones, remains, or even tissue cells... they can serve as crucial evidence."
Pei Ji was silent for a moment, "May the goddess of luck bless you."
Luo Yuan's eyebrows curved: "May the goddess of luck bless me."
He hung up the phone.
The room fell silent.
The cigarette at Pei Ji's fingertips had burned out, leaving a small piece of ash on the floor.
The cleaning robot flew over and cleaned up for him, leaving no trace.
The air became oppressive.
Pei Ji opened the French window, and the damp dew poured into the house from outside, pressing heavily on his chest.
The information sent back by Luo Yuan confirmed the crimes committed by Chu Yang.
The revered hero who once rescued the empire from the insect swarm is actually going to send the empire back into the insect plague with his own hands.
Pei Ji's face was calm, but his heart was like waves in a storm, constantly churning.
Bold ideas emerged in his mind one after another, but were rejected by him one after another.
No... He couldn't do this... This wasn't Baisha Star...
His Omega is about to enter estrus, and he must first ensure his safety.
Faint laughter could be heard from the path shaded by the trees, as if the little maids of the royal court had completed their tasks for the day and were playing on their way home.
The laughter slowly died away.
Pei Ji took a deep breath, concealed his hostility and rebellious edge, and returned to repression and silence.
He can't do anything now...
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Dang, Dang, Dang
He only knocked three times before stopping, being very polite and restrained.
Pei Ji closed the French window and slowly walked to the door.
Lately, around this time every evening, the princess would send her personal maid, Tina, to discuss the details of the next day's activities with Shen Que.
Pei Ji opened the door naturally.
The next second, three surprised voices sounded at the same time:
"Admiral—"
Three familiar figures came forward at the same time, scaring Pei Ji.
"Admiral, why didn't you reply to our messages?" Demi scolded, her hands on her hips. "We couldn't get in touch with you all night!"
"The market in Pettis is so lively. We brought you and your wife some Pettis scones!" Phil waved the paper package high in his hand. "We also have fish and chips, waffles, and ice cream."
Anya stretched her head and looked around the room. "Why don't I see the Madam?"
Before Pei Ji could react, the three of them had already walked into the house very naturally.
Anya took off her coat and put on the indoor slippers the robot had given her. "Thank you."
"Wow, the servants of the Imperial Court are robots? Wouldn't that be boring?" Phil patted the little robot's head. "Can you tell gossip?"
"Ah!" Demi screamed. "Admiral! How could you leave your coat on the sofa? And your shoes in a mess? It's so ungentlemanly!"
Pei Ji opened his mouth but had no time to speak.
Two more figures appeared at the door.
"Um... good evening?" Xingyao shrank back awkwardly behind Jinyi, "Although visiting late at night doesn't seem very nice..."
Jin Yi glanced at the time, "Eight o'clock, not considered late at night."
"Then... excuse me for disturbing you?" Xingyao said this but did not move.
Jin Yi forced him into the house.
"We haven't booked a hotel yet, so we'll sleep here tonight."
Pei Ji was left standing at the door in a daze.
The little robot considerately closed the door for him.
“Would you like to prepare rooms for the guests?” it asked enthusiastically.
The left wing palace where Pei Ji and Shen Que lived had two floors and was not in the same place as the other commanders.
I heard from Shen Que that this is his exclusive little palace in the imperial court, and he stays here every time he comes.
"But I seldom come here either." Shen Que said.
"What's the point of being a guest?" Phil patted the little robot's head again. "We are your colleagues."
Demi had already started to clean up as if she was familiar with the process, mumbling:
