Li Yingmo only said one sentence: "This operation was deployed by the general."
Ling Xin's expression changed, but he eventually calmed down. "In that case, it is indeed inconvenient for me to disturb you. But I'll make this clear today: if my sister cannot return safely, she will inevitably cause a scene in front of the General."
In the entire Federation, there is only one person who deserves to be called "General" by everyone.
After Ling Xin finished speaking, she stood up and walked to Lian Han's side. "Go home and rest tonight. Xiao Ze is home too."
Lian Han did not answer.
Ling Xin didn't mind, patted her head, and left.
"So, Young Master Ling means that if you can't come back, the General probably won't have any peace either," Qianya teased.
Do you think this trip is dangerous?
"The mission is there, the enemy will not hesitate to attack," Li Yingmo said.
"I still have the ability to protect myself. All I need to do is find evidence of my guilt, right?"
“We’ll handle the rest.” Li Yingmo nodded, then asked, “How much do you know about this operation?”
"Not much. All I know is that your mission isn't on the Imperial Capital Star." The main reason was that the two of them spoke rather vaguely about their mission, so even though Lian Han knew about their conversation, she was still completely clueless except for knowing what evidence she needed to find.
"Then let's go into details now. Miss should have heard of the term 'All Heavens'."
Lian Han nodded; of course she had heard of it. Earlier, people from all the heavens had surrounded the warship, inviting her to their headquarters, but she had stood them up without hesitation during the summer vacation and gone to Planet Tri.
To be honest, Lian Han really didn't understand why a pirate crew would choose such a high-class and impressive name.
Li Yingmo said, "This pirate group has been established for a long time, but it has only really become famous in recent years. It is said that the Heavenly Realm is like a dragon that appears only briefly and never disappears, and no one knows their whereabouts. But it is rather suspicious that they can always avoid the military's encirclement and suppression."
"That's just suspicious, isn't it?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow. Would the military launch an investigation without evidence?
“But we found the mole. Although they were just small fry, it was enough to prove that there was someone behind him.”
"So we need to find him? But what does this have to do with the Ice Clan?"
“It has nothing to do with the Ice Clan, but it is related to the Shui family,” Qianya said. “The traitor is from the Shui family.”
The Shui family? Lian Han remembered that Ling Xin had mentioned to her that Qianya's original name was Shui Qianya.
"Okay. Tell me your plans. I'll try my best to cooperate."
"No problem. We can discuss it further if you have any objections. Although the people we arrested before are dead, we obtained their memories through special means, and then..."
After spending a whole day processing all the official documents, including paper documents, Ning Jue stood up, ready to go to Dilu Academy to see old friends.
At that moment, Yu Hui, the adjutant, entered with a document. "General, Major General Li requests your signature."
Ning Jue opened the document. "Have you reached an agreement with that prince?"
"Yes, General. Major General Li and his men have found an accomplice."
"Ying Mo is indeed cautious. However, the mole is just an appetizer; don't let him forget to keep an eye on that human Ice Palace. The Ice Clan's new entourage..."
Ning Jue paused, staring at the list of personnel involved in the operation on the document, almost destroying it. "Lian Han?"
Knowing that the young lady from the Ling family called the general "uncle," the adjutant didn't think much of it and explained, "It was His Highness Qianya who suggested it. It seems there's something that Miss Lianhan has to do, and she has already agreed."
Ning Jue: "...They're gone?"
"Yes. The major general had already set off before he delivered the documents."
The hardest thing for officers is promotion. In the Northern Army, Li Yingmo achieved the rank of Major General at the age of 26 and has always been a key figure that Ning Jue has been grooming.
He entrusted the affairs of the Heavenly Pirates to Li Yingmo, not only to hone his skills but, more importantly, to help him establish his authority. Furthermore, given their consistently good relationship and the fact that Li Yingmo was now fully entrusted with the matter, it was perfectly reasonable for him to send off immediately after receiving the documents.
But even cold—
General Ning tapped his index finger unconsciously on the table, but his adjutant Yu sensed something was wrong. Was the general dissatisfied with this operation plan? Then what was he hesitating about?
The adjutant frowned, but his gaze met Ning Jue's. He quickly looked away, only to hear Ning Jue say, "Let's postpone the invitation from Dilu Academy for now."
The adjutant was taken aback. "Didn't you accept Master Cui Zhi's invitation?"
Ning Jue didn't answer, but looked at Yu Hui meaningfully. Realizing his lapse in composure, the adjutant quickly said, "Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
"Bring me the official documents from the North as well. Process them all at once."
"Okay." Lieutenant Yu nodded, his doubts growing. Just yesterday, the general said there was no rush to look at those documents.
"Follow up on Yingmo's plan throughout and pay attention to personnel safety."
The adjutant frowned, "But this is not right..."
"Marshal Ling's precious daughter was lent out so easily. What if something goes wrong? When the Marshal asks for her back, should I hand you over or Li Yingmo?"
"I'll arrange it right away." Lieutenant Yu agreed again, but in his heart he was wondering if he had done something wrong recently, otherwise why would the general make fun of him?
"Go."
"Yes." The adjutant left, forgetting to ask Ning Jue for the documents he had brought.
Ning Jue's gaze fell on that name. After a long silence, she finally sighed softly, "Let it go."
This mission wasn't particularly dangerous, and the girl seemed to have some reservations about soldiers. He hadn't cared about it before; after all, if someone else's daughter didn't want to join the army, could he force her? But now—if he could use this operation to dispel those reservations, or even change her opinion of soldiers, that would be great.
She has too many secrets, but no power to protect herself. It's safest to keep people under her watchful eye.
Thankfully, Li Yingmo's proposal was only a rough outline, and he didn't know their specific action plan yet; otherwise, even if he didn't stop them, he would have flipped the table in frustration...
The control room of a starship.
Lian Han was pondering a question.
Li Yingmo was pondering a question.
Qianya was also pondering a question.
Are they lucky or unlucky right now?
Ahead of the starship, a black vortex was emitting an eerie light, and the vortex was still expanding.
The outward-extending black vortex—does it look familiar?
Xing Yucheng's heart pounded. [Why are you so unlucky? How did you end up stumbling into the entrance to the Demon Abyss again?]
Lian Han: [...You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Doesn't this thing have a fixed roaming area?]
Xing Yucheng said with a disdainful tone, "[The Demon Abyss has become Cangming's lair, how can you judge it by common sense? Just obediently go into the Demon Abyss. We'll discuss the rest later.]"
Lian Han was surprised. [The Butterfly Shadow Card couldn't break free, and even the Starship couldn't?]
[If it were a warship, that should be possible. As for this starship, perhaps you could ask the major general next to you?]
