Chapter 55 An An is going!
I can’t let An Zhi go.”
An Zhi was his only purpose for this trip.
Any event, situation, or accident must give way to her.
What he had to do was to get An Zhi back to the capital planet safely, peacefully and unharmed.
He couldn't, and would never, let the last of Eselan take risks.
The entire conference room fell into deathly silence.
Inspector Turner's face showed surprise, which then turned into incredible surprise.
The anticipation on Emily and Leah's faces froze, then turned into shock and disappointment.
An impatient young police officer stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and spoke with almost anger: "Mr. Gu! You can't do this! That's a human life! You can't-"
"Quiet."
Gu Changfeng pressed down with one hand, and the mental pressure of the commander of the Tenth Legion instantly swept through the entire room. The invisible pressure came upon them, instantly shocking everyone in the conference room.
"Director." Gu Changfeng pushed open the teacup, and a cold light flashed across the white porcelain cup wall.
“This child is the most important person in our family and must not and will never be put at risk.
This is my bottom line, and her joys and sorrows are the only reason I came to Halo Star."
"Mr. Rhodes's analysis makes sense. The palace ruins are their target. In that case..."
He paused, and his tone suddenly became sharp.
"A detachment of the Federation's Seventh Legion is stationed near Halo Star. I will contact them immediately and request that they immediately dispatch an elite special forces unit to conduct a comprehensive search and control of the palace ruins and the surrounding area.
They have the ability and authority to thoroughly investigate underground passages and hidden locations that could be exploited without alerting anyone."
"I believe that with the intervention of the federal army and the cooperation of the Halo Star Public Security Bureau, we can catch all those criminals in one fell swoop without sacrificing any innocent children.
It's much safer and more effective than putting a three-year-old in danger."
Rhodes sighed and looked at Gu Changfeng with complicated eyes.
He knew very well that letting Gu Changfeng put his beloved daughter in such a huge risk was not a very justifiable thing to do.
Their police department's job is to protect the people.
Now that things have come to this, can we really blame him?
Rhodes shook his head helplessly.
The conference room was silent as everyone slowly digested the new information.
Gu Changfeng refused, but also gave a more reliable solution.
As the Sheriff's Department, they could neither refuse nor stop it.
Gu Changfeng slowly scanned the changing expressions on everyone's face and clapped his hands.
"Since everyone has no objection, then, let's adjourn the meeting."
However, a clear and tender voice sounded firmly in the silent conference room.
"An An goes."
An Zhi raised his head at some point, his eyes full of seriousness.
There was a hint of stubbornness on her little face, and her right hand was still tightly grasping Gu Jinyan's clothes.
Gu Changfeng almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Gu Jinyan lowered his head and asked her, "Have you really thought it through? That would be very dangerous, and you might get hurt."
An Zhi repeated again: "An An is going to find the little fish. An An is going to save them!"
Although her voice was childish but firm, it penetrated the depression and gloom in the conference room like a little sun, and also shattered Gu Changfeng's seemingly indestructible decision.
The two children seemed to have reached an agreement and looked in their direction without any fear.
Gu Changfeng waved his hand: "I will go and inform the Seventh Legion."

The day passed in a flash, and soon it was the night before the festival.
Sadly, the blanket search was ineffective.
The structure of the palace ruins is far more complex than imagined.
There are not only magnificent palace ruins and gardens on the surface, but also intricate maze-like underground passages, abandoned storage rooms, and secret rooms forgotten by time.
The special forces used all available technological means, including vibration sensors, life detectors, thermal imagers, and even sent small reconnaissance drones into the narrow ventilation ducts.
In just one day, we only had time to walk through one-third of the palace ruins.
"Reporting to the commander! All abandoned waterways on the third underground floor in the southwest area have been inspected, and no abnormalities have been found!"
"Report to the commander! We have cleared all suspicious areas in the underground secret room in the northern palace area, and there are no signs of life!"
"Reporting to the commander! The tunnel network on the east side of the ruins has been completely cleared, and there are no signs of recent activity!"
An Zhi would occasionally close his eyes, frowning his little brows, as if trying to catch something, but would soon shake his head in disappointment.
Gu Changfeng went over the whole incident in his mind.
His intuition told him that the criminal organization's target was the ruins of the palace, and they were very likely to have made arrangements in advance.
An Zhi’s “Tide Sound” requires sufficiently strong emotions and has certain distance limitations.
This is similar to the expansion of the spiritual realm, but its use is too simple.
If those children are given deep coma drugs or hidden in special insulating materials, Chaoyin will be affected.

At the same time, in another manor at the ruins of the royal palace, the leader of the Cavis family's operation, Austin Cavis.
He frowned as he looked at the news report on the holographic screen.
The news was rolling with reports about the Halo Star Public Security Bureau's successful rescue of the young child, as well as various speculations about the sudden intervention of the federal army.
“Damn it!”
Auston slammed his fist on the table, making a dull sound.
“These Halo Star natives were actually able to mobilize the entire Federation Army!
Are they trying to turn Halo Planet upside down?!"
According to the original plan, they intended to take advantage of the chaos during the festival and rob or steal the Star Amber Tears from Gu Changfeng and his group.
This has been the goal of the Kevis family for many years.
But now the security of the palace ruins has suddenly been upgraded, and the intervention of the federal army has almost made his plan aborted.
This made Auston extremely annoyed.
The men beside him reminded cautiously:
"Sir, according to the intelligence we have received, the involvement of the Federation Army seems to be related to Miss An Zhi's 'special ability'.
She can sense kidnapped children."
Auston's face turned gloomy in an instant.
It turned out to be the destined person that Xing Pu Lei found.
"Hmph, special abilities?" Austin sneered.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the movements of the palace ruins!"
**
The leader of the criminal organization, codenamed "Shadow Demon", also had a gloomy face as he listened to his subordinates' reports.
"Sir, the security level at the royal palace ruins has suddenly increased, and the special forces of the Federation Legion have already arrived.
The several observation points we set up in advance have all been eliminated." The subordinate said anxiously.
"How did they find our target?"
The "Shadow Demon" crushed a chess piece in his hand.
