"There seems to be no movement these days."
Inside the temple, Li Yao drank happily, occasionally checking the changes outside, just like watching a show.
Chen An opened the light curtain and studied the surrounding layout countless times.
If he had the chance to leave, he would definitely not stay here.
"Now I'm afraid they'll keep surrounding us."
Li Yao said, "No, because the Divine Capital Conference is coming soon."
“Is there anything special about this meeting?”
Li Yao explained, "The Divine Capital only holds a meeting once a year, and all Territory Lords must attend to report on the previous year's work. In reality, the Investigation Bureau is the core of this annual meeting, which makes many people tremble with fear. Although the Investigation Bureau didn't find any details here this year, they will most likely report this matter. In other words, His Majesty will definitely conduct an investigation after the meeting. It is precisely because of this that Zhu Lihe is anxious to destroy the evidence."
Chen An suddenly realized: "In other words, as long as we hold on until the end of the meeting, everything will be fine."
"That's right. But just in case, we want to make this as big a fuss as possible. I'm worried that the Bureau of Investigation won't report it."
While they were chatting, news came from the outside world and Chen An answered the call.
"Is Li Yao here?"
Chen An recognized it; it was Zhu Lihe's voice.
"Whatever tricks you are playing, we will follow them."
Zhu Lihe said calmly, "The folks of Shuo Xing asked me to say hello to Li Yao. They're all doing well. Especially the main branch of the Li family, now one of the top ten families in Shuo Xing, living a very comfortable life."
Li Yao's face suddenly darkened and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing special. I'm planning to send a batch of resources to Shuoxing, and I need the Li family to receive them personally. Li Yao, I'd like to invite you to a banquet on Changfengxing to discuss this matter in detail. Is that okay?"
Seeing that Li Yao had been silent for a long time, Zhu Lihe said, "There are millions of Li family members, and there are many outstanding descendants among them. What a pity."
The call was then disconnected, leaving only a short beep.
"What should we do?" Chen An asked.
He couldn't interfere in such matters, after all, he was a member of Li Yao's clan.
Li Yao said, "I haven't had any contact with my people in a hundred thousand years. I only stop by occasionally to see them. Ever since I became a pirate, I haven't even dared to look at them. I even erased all my identity information, but I didn't expect it to be exposed. Millions of people! If it were any other governor, I don't believe he would take action. But Zhu Lihe is different. This bastard is really capable of doing it."
He stood up and left, pacing around.
Three hours later, Li Yao finally left the temple and flew towards Changfeng Star.
Chen An didn't have a star domain network, so he didn't know what was happening.
But half a day later, news came from Changfeng Star of a fierce battle that lasted for a full seven hours.
After the battle ended, there was no more movement from Li Yao.
The communication came again.
Zhu Lihe said, "I originally wanted to cooperate with Li Yao, but he refused to comply. I had no choice but to capture him and cut him into six pieces. The Star Devourer is very difficult to kill. I suppressed most of his body in the satellite and threw his head into the sun. Brother Chen, can you guess how long he can live?"
Galactus' body can be separated, but it can still survive as long as it is put back together in time.
However, if the cells are divided for too long, they will mutate or even die and will no longer be able to aggregate.
Chen An replied: "I guess seven days."
"Haha, you're still too conservative. He can actually last nine days. After nine days, his head will be burned first, and the rest of his body will dissolve and disappear completely. How about this, I want to make a deal with you. Release the other pirates, and I'll let Li Yao live."
"You're dreaming!"
Chen An hung up the phone, unmoved.
Zhu Lihe can threaten everyone except him. After all, he only has one relative in this world, and that is Luo Qingxia.
But who can threaten him with Luo Qingxia?
In the Governor's Mansion, Zhu Lihe was smug and asked his confidant, "Have you figured out Chen An's background?"
There was no information about Chen An outside the domain, so Zhu Lihe sent people to investigate the Changfeng Galaxy in detail, not missing any clues.
"We've found a clue. He first appeared on a film crew. After leaving, he made some deals with the local tyrants, then changed his name to Liu Fang and boarded the train. The local tyrants haven't been caught, and they're searching everywhere for him. The crew has been detained, but no information related to Chen An has been found."
Zhu Lihe sneered, "Could it really have come out of thin air? Investigate thoroughly, investigate thoroughly, investigate thoroughly. Someone must be covering for him."
Two days later, more than a thousand crew members were escorted out of the department.
Chen An received the communication again.
"Brother Chen, I've arrested over a thousand people. Are there any of your relatives or friends among them? If so, please tell me, so that you don't die in vain."
"What's the meaning?"
"These people are colluding with the space pirates and will be publicly executed."
Chen An took a quick look and asked, "There seems to be a celebrity in there. Aren't you afraid of causing more trouble?"
"Haha, a star? What's a star? As long as they are related to the space pirates, no matter how famous they are, they can be killed. Chen An, you better watch carefully, they died for you."
As the order was given, the thousand people were tortured while wailing.
Zhu Lihe deliberately used this method to influence Chen An's state of mind, so he tortured them all and killed them one by one.
But Chen An just felt confused.
The crew has a hairy relationship with him.
He even watched the process in real time and discussed the completeness of the criminal law with Zhu Lihe.
"Dude, that's not how Ling Chi works. Over three thousand cuts is the limit for an ordinary person, but a Star Crosser would have to do at least thirty thousand, right?"
"Where did you find the executioner? The skinning must be complete. This method is too crude. If there is a chance, I can show you the technique."
"This execution is completely unoriginal. Don't your people use their brains?"
…
Zhu Lihe was a little confused. How could the opponent be more ruthless than him?
In order to consolidate his power, he made himself the most ruthless person in the Changfeng Galaxy.
But now I know that there are always people better than you.
"Brother Chen, do you have anything else to say? Please enlighten me."
"There are many more. Let me tell you slowly."
Chen An told Zhu Lihe about his experiences and insights, mainly using a nonsensical approach.
By the time he finished speaking, all the thousand people had died, not a single one was left.
Zhu Lihe realized that he might have been fooled, and the crew had nothing to do with Chen Anzhen.
"Sir, the director of the crew has a lot of connections. What if the higher-ups find out?"
Zhu Lihe said disapprovingly, "Whoever dares to investigate is connected to the space pirates. Tell Lord Zhou about this and ask him to stop it. It seems that the local tyrant on Fuyang Star may be the key. Find him."
Apart from this, Zhu Lihe couldn't find anyone related to Chen An.
In the temple.
"Dad, did those people really die because of us?" Xiaoya was kind-hearted.
Chen An said, "It has nothing to do with us. He was killed by bad guys. Xiaoya, don't take the blame on yourself at any time. Just have a clear conscience. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I see."
The little girl was cute and lovely, and Chen An couldn't let her go while holding her in his arms.
If I could take her out, there would definitely be another beloved daughter in the car.
It’s a pity that I can’t take it out.
