Chapter 18



The Mecha Arena is located in the bustling area of ​​the capital star.

The building in front, which stands alone from the surroundings, is shaped like a large Water Cube. The entrance is equipped with an intelligent iris recognition device, but there are also a large number of professional bodyguards wearing black sunglasses guarding it.

The three of them had just got off the suspension car. Qi Ming and Ming Xiangnan inserted the black cards in their hands into the door. After their irises were recognized, the door opened automatically.

"Come in." Qi Ming gestured to Gu Qi and said to a bodyguard standing nearby, "You can bring my friend in."

The bodyguard stepped aside to make way for them.

The Mecha Arena is the Federation's official mecha rental competition arena, with hundreds of mechas, ranging from E-class to S-class. But it is not open to the public. Only families that have contributed to the Federation have the right to black cards, and other than that, only soldiers with military titles are eligible.

Since most of the people who come to the mecha arena are quite strong, this is an excellent place to hone their strength.

"Ling Beihuai has his own private room. I'll take you to see him." Qi Ming walked in front and went upstairs after turning the corner.

Gu Qi's gaze remained on the competition stage, where two mechas, one red and one black, were fighting each other, and both seemed to be quite powerful.

She took a quick glance and had an idea of ​​the outcome of the battle, so she looked away and stopped paying attention.

"We're here." Qi Ming pressed the doorbell at the door of the private room.

"Come in." Ling Beihuai's voice came from inside, and the door opened.

"Why are you here?" Ling Beihuai was sitting on the sofa with a blue glass of unknown drink in his hand. He just asked casually when he saw them come in and looked towards the competition field.

The three of them came over and sat on the sofa. Ming asked Nanrao with interest, "That black mecha looks quite powerful. I've never seen its style before."

"That's principle one." Ling Beihuai put down the cup and leaned back, looking a little casual. "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Ming didn't say anything. He sat next to Ming Xiangnan and watched the game with him.

Ling Beihuai raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to stare at Gu Qi who had remained silent since he came in.

"Well, I want to ask you something," Gu Qi considered his words, "some time ago, your private starship went to Planet 1248. Did you know that?"

Ling Beihuai tilted his head and recalled, frowning slightly: "My family has a lot of private starships, but if you go out, you usually have to register."

"Then can you help me ask?" Gu Qi's anxious tone startled Ling Beihuai.

He paused for a second and took out his laptop: "Okay, I'll ask now."

"Butler, please check whether our family has sent any starship to Planet 1248 some time ago." They should be checking immediately. Ling Beihuai waited for a while and did not hang up the call.

After a while, he looked up at Gu Qi who was absent-mindedly sitting opposite him, and asked calmly, "Whose name is registered?"

"Second Master."

Hearing this answer, Ling Beihuai's brows furrowed: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the call with the housekeeper, he swiped down a few times and made another call.

As soon as the call was connected, Ling Beihuai said sternly: "Ling Nanjiang, tell me the truth, what did you do on Planet 1248 some time ago?"

After skipping classes, Ling Nanjiang was hanging out with his friends outside. He was startled when he saw his elder brother calling. He winked at the people around him to be quiet. After answering the call, he was stunned and looked confused: "Brother, I have never been to Planet 1248. I have always stayed in the capital!"

Ling Beihuai thought he was lying and narrowed his eyes: "Some time ago, before the military academy selection competition, think carefully about where you went with the starship registered."

Ling Nanjiang scratched his head and recalled frantically. He found it among the memories of feasting and revelry. Suddenly, he said, "Ah, I remember now. I was planning to go on an interstellar trip some time ago, but something happened at the home of a friend of mine. Seeing that he looked very worried, I lent him the starship."

"Who did you lend it to?"

"Brother, what happened to that guy Yu Yueran?" Ling Nanjiang asked cautiously, fearing that something big had happened.

Ling Beihuai's tone became casual at this time: "Okay, I get it. But I warn you, if you dare to cause any trouble, I will not forgive you. I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately said to Gu Qi: "My brother lent the starship to a branch of the Yu family named Yu Yueran."

When Gu Qi heard this, he felt that the name sounded vaguely familiar.

The sound of a door opening attracted the attention of several people.

Yuan Zeyi was about to walk in, and when he raised his eyes, he met Gu Qi's gaze. He was stunned for a moment, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he walked over.

"Why are you here?" He put the mecha necklace on the table.

Gu Qi lowered his head and thought that he had no time to pay attention to him, but Ling Beihuai was kind enough to explain it to him.

Yuan Ze tilted his head and suddenly said, "Wasn't the man I just fought against Yu Yueran?"

"What?!" Gu Qi stood up in surprise, "Where is he now?"

As soon as the principle is established, he stands up and walks towards the window, looking around downwards, and finally fixes his eyes on one point.

“There.”

Gu Qi walked over and carefully memorized the man's face, then turned around and left decisively.

When they saw her, they looked at each other and followed her.

No one likes to talk too much, but Ming Xiangnan couldn't hold it in any longer. He secretly asked Principle One, "Tell me, what is the relationship between Gu Qi and Yu Yueran?"

Yuan Zeyi stared at the figure in front of him and thought for a moment, "I don't know."

Ming Xiangnan rolled his eyes at him and complained in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You thought about it for so long. I was waiting for nothing."

Yu Yueran must have just lost the game and was in a bad mood at the moment. He sat on the stool with a gloomy face, and several people around him kept comforting him.

"Yu Shao, it's just a loss, it's okay, didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"That's right. You've already fought several rounds before, and you're exhausted physically."

"By the way, didn't you say your cousin was here today too?"

Yu Yueran's expression softened a lot, and he smiled proudly: "She will be here in a while, I will introduce her to you then."

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of a group of people walking towards him.

He looked over and felt that the leader was a bit overbearing.

Several people nearby also noticed it, and someone asked quietly: "Yu Shao, that can't be your romantic debt!"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't realize Yu Shao likes this one, it's spicy and powerful!"

Yu Yue frowned and denied, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know him." He looked back and his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know who the person at the front was, but he was very familiar with the three behind him.

——Ling Bei Huai, Ming Xiang Nan, Qi Ming.

How did these three young masters get together?

Seeing that they were about to approach him, Yu Yueran pretended to be calm and shook the wine in front of him.

"Are you Yu Yueran?" Gu Qi walked up to him and asked directly.

Yu Yueran didn't want to bother with the question of an unknown person, but the identities of the people standing behind him were unusual. He straightened his sitting posture and raised his chin slightly: "I am, who are you?"

Gu Qi took a small step forward and said in a low voice, "Where are the people you used the Ling family's starship to pick up at Planet 1248 a while ago?"

Yu Yue suddenly heard this, his pupils shrank, he took a step back imperceptibly, clenched his hands on his legs, and tried his best to control his trembling voice: "What did you say? I don't understand?"

Gu Qi knew at a glance that this person was lying. She reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling him over and said, "Think about it again. Are you sure you don't understand?"

Yu Yueran didn't know why, but cold sweat broke out on his back. The person in front of him clearly didn't look too powerful, but inexplicably, his ability to read people's expressions from being in social situations since he was a child told him that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.

What's more, behind her, Ling Beihuai and Qi Ming were staring at him sharply, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

He carefully looked around and whispered, "Let me go and I'll tell you."

Gu Qi was sure that he was not playing any tricks, so he loosened his grip on his collar.

Yu Yueran straightened his wrinkled collar, looked up at the person staring at him, and whispered, "You are talking about the girl named Lin Xun, right?"

Gu Qi's eyes lit up, knowing that she had found the right person. She nodded and asked impatiently, "Where did she go?"

Yu Yueran was somewhat helpless: "I really don't know. I did help my uncle with this matter at the time, but I really don't know where she went afterwards."

Ling Beihuai and the others roughly guessed from the previous conversation that Gu Qi was looking for someone, and this person was related to the Yu family.

When Qi Ming heard this, he asked first: "Don't you know why you felt guilty just now?"

Yu Yue suddenly shrank his head, his eyes wandering: "Well, she wanted to go back to Planet 1248 before, but my uncle wouldn't let her. He told me to keep an eye on her. The process... was a little unpleasant."

As for the fact that he had kept her hungry for several days, Yu Yueran felt that he should not let it slip.

Seeing the serious faces of the people in front of him, staring at him as if he were a ferocious criminal, he quickly said, "I really don't know. Later, my uncle let her go, and I didn't care about these things anymore."

Seeing that the clues he had found were broken again, Gu Qi's mood suddenly dropped to the bottom as if he was on a roller coaster.

She continued to ask, "Think carefully, did your uncle mention anything?"

Yu Yueran really didn't know what else to say. He felt as if he had gotten into some big trouble. It was just an illegitimate daughter, wasn't it? Why did it seem like there was some big problem?

He tried hard to recall, pondered for a while, and actually remembered something: "Oh, right, I overheard my uncle talking about number 108 and then something about Lin Xun. I don't know if there is any connection between the two, and I didn't hear it clearly."

"What number 108?!" Gu Qi pressed his shoulders with both hands as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Yu Yue was startled by her expression. "I... I don't know. I only heard this."

Yuan Zeyi looked at Gu Qi who was a little agitated and pulled her back: "Calm down first. We can go back and check. We won't get anything out of him if we ask him again."

Gu Qi actually understood it in her heart, but she didn't want to delay any longer. She felt that the longer she waited, the more danger Lin Xun would be in.

Before leaving, he thanked Yu Yueran, looked back at the seven or so people and walked out the door.

Yu Yueran heaved a sigh of relief. Although the Yu family was rich, they were not as rich as the other three families. It was the first time for him to be so close to the three young masters. Ling Nanjiang was right. His eldest brother was really scary when he became fierce.

But who was the girl they were surrounding? Why had he never seen her before?

"Who are those people?" A cold voice sounded in his ears.

Yu Yue turned his head and saw his cousin's face, which was as cold as ever. He glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Ah, I don't know her. I'm asking for directions."

He handed her the water he had prepared and asked casually, "By the way, didn't your uncle ask me to pick up that girl named Lin Xun from Planet 1248? Is she still at your house?"

Yu Yanran frowned and glanced at him, "Didn't she return to Planet 1248 a long time ago? Why are you asking this?"

When Yu Yueran heard this, his heart skipped a beat: Oh no, could something really have happened to this person?

He controlled his expression and smiled: "Nothing, just asking."
