Chapter 78 Rebuttal.
Before leaving, Lu Xia still sent a message to Grace who was out on a cruise, informing her of the matter. If it were her, she would never care too much about Grace's feelings, but now is a critical moment, the cub in her belly is not hers alone, and Grace's blood is still flowing in her body.
As the other party involved, she should have the right to know.
It's just that Grace didn't reply immediately after receiving the message, but Lu Xia couldn't wait for him. After packing up, she and Smellian set off for the terminal.
If the old housekeeper didn't have to look after the house, he would have wanted to go with him. No matter if he could be of any use, at least he could feel at ease.
Fortunately, Smellian is a doctor and can take care of Lu Xia to some extent, which is much better than ordinary people. It
was not until Lu Xia boarded the aircraft carrier to Victoria Starport that she received a message from Grace: "Have you set off? Is Smellian with you?"
Grace did not stop Lu Xia from going to Victoria Starport. She just asked about her travel arrangements.
Lu Xia: "Yes, he's with me. If it's fast, we'll be back in two days. Don't worry."
Grace: "I know. Contact me anytime if you have anything. Be careful."
Since he couldn't stop Lu Xia's decision, he could only accept it, even though he was actually full of worries.
And he knew very well that Courtyard No. 1 was very important to Lu Xia. If he stopped this matter, Lu Xia might agree to him for the sake of the child, but he would not be happy in his heart. He didn't want to have a gap with the little female because of this.
It seemed that every time he cruised, something would go wrong, Grace thought with a headache.
The adjutant frowned when he saw him turn off the terminal, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to ask the accompanying doctor to come and take a look?"
"No, I'm fine. You stay here and watch. I'll go out for a while." Grace got up and left the observation room. After going out, he sent a message.

Lu Xia and Smelian got off the starship and took a public hovercraft directly to the star port.
On the way, Smelian carefully protected Lu Xia. Feeling his nervousness, Lu Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I feel fine."
Smelian nodded, "I know, but I can't help it."
"Try to bear it. It's too obvious and it's easy to make people suspicious." Lu Xia wore a loose windbreaker before going out, which
just covered her abdomen, so that people couldn't see her abnormality.
But if Smelian always protected her, people would notice it a little.
The star port was obviously more chaotic. There were many cargo starships parked at the port. Many people carried goods in and out, and there were also many robots involved.
Lu Xia's sudden appearance was really eye-catching, but there was nothing she could do about it. Females rarely appear in such places. Once they appear, they will attract a lot of attention. Fortunately, no one dared to do anything.
Many people even deliberately avoided them, not wanting to cause trouble.
Lu Xia took Smelian's arm and walked quickly towards the Star Harbor office. After entering, the receptionist came up to her immediately after seeing her and said, "Hello, honorable female, how can I help you?" Lu Xia
took out the rejected approval form from her bag and handed it to the other party, "A batch of goods has been detained by you at Star Harbor. Let me deal with it personally."
The other party took it with his hand, and his heart tightened at a glance. Then he pretended to be natural and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go see what the problem is."
After that, he raised his eyes and gave another colleague a look, asking them to take care of this place, and he trotted to the office of the director of the office.
The middle-aged male inside, with a round belly, sat behind the desk. When he saw someone coming in, he frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so flustered? You didn't even remember to knock on the door. What happened?"
"Director, it's bad. The person in charge of the batch of raw materials from the No. 1 courtyard that we seized before has come."
"Since he's here, let him pay the money. What's there to say? Does he not want to pay?" The director of the office said while scratching his belly with his hand, and said nonchalantly. Obviously, this kind of thing happens often here.
However, the receptionist shook his head and said, "If only it were that simple. The other party is a most expensive female. I'm afraid she will find out the problem. How about we just let it go?"
The receptionist looked at the director's face carefully. Although the purpose of forging the unqualified approval documents and deliberately detaining the goods was to make people pay fines and make money, they usually cheated the money of males. The sudden arrival of a female really made people feel uneasy.
But who would have thought that the person in charge of such a large research institute as No. 1 Courtyard would be a female?
When did females have such ability and energy?
Aren't they all hedonists?
The director of the office was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a female would come to them: "Why are you panicking? She doesn't know what we did. There are contraband in her things. Isn't it a normal procedure to pay a fine? We are doing things according to the procedures, so there is nothing wrong. You go and do it for her normally."
"This, will it work?"
"Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it?" The director of the office looked like, 'How do you know it won't work if you don't try it', which really made it impossible to refute.
The receptionist had no choice but to go out.
At this time, Lu Xia and Smelian were sitting on the sofa in the reception room. There were tea and cakes on the table in front of them, but neither of them moved.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, they both looked over. Lu Xia: "What's the situation? Is there something wrong with my goods?"
The receptionist pretended to be natural and said: "It's like this. I just checked and our inspectors found contraband, copper and stone, in the raw materials of Courtyard No. 1. You should know that copper and stone are scarce resources of the empire and are not allowed to be traded privately. Fortunately, the quantity is not large. You just need to pay a fine."
"Is that so!" Lu Xia seemed to understand the problem after hearing this.
Just when the receptionist felt relieved, Lu Xia asked, "But how did you know that these contraband items were mine?"
"Because this batch of copper and stone has the logo of your No. 1 Courtyard, whose else could it be if not yours?"
"If I want to smuggle copper and stone, why do I have to put the No. 1 Courtyard logo on it and use Mingtang Transport? Isn't this asking for trouble? Besides, why did I choose Mingtang Transport Company to ship my goods?" Lu Xia smiled at this, "Mingtang Transport Company claims that every process is monitored by video to ensure authenticity. Didn't the office immediately retrieve the full surveillance to see if the copper and stone were mine? I think you should contact the transportation company before confirming the matter, right?"
