Chapter 236 Taking Photos
"Okay." Xie Wenyu agreed.
Yu Zhi, who was standing next to him, listened to the whole thing and was also deep in thought.
The plot does not mention the specific identities of the top rebel leaders, we only know that they are indeed hiding in the top wealthy families of the empire.
She felt like she was about to catch that hint of inspiration...
What exactly was missed?
How on earth was the other party able to evade repeated investigations without any loopholes?
In the interstellar age, once something is done, it is impossible to truly hide it.
Since the rebels were able to steal the Empire's latest technology and even directly obtain experimental samples, they would definitely leave traces.
But I really didn't find any clues.
unless……
Unless the joint investigation team didn’t find anything on him at all!
We checked the wrong person from the beginning to the end, which is why we missed such a big fish!
"I know!" Yu Zhi finally figured it out, and her expression became excited. "I know why we can't find the traitor hiding in the upper echelons of the empire!"
Xie Wenyu and Wei Yuan, who were originally talking, stopped talking in shock.
"Zhizhi?" Xie Wenyu turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue.
"Has the Joint Investigation Team never investigated...illegitimate children?"
Her eyes lit up surprisingly because she had finally solved the mystery.
"Because we missed the target of the investigation, we found some clues that pointed to the person, but we still couldn't find him."
The puzzle that has been puzzling the people of the Federation may actually be this simple, and there may even be some unsatisfactory answers.
In order to protect the rights and interests of high-level healers, illegitimate children have basically no rights protection in the wealthy families of the interstellar era and are considered to be lower than ordinary people.
Also because of the pleasure they feel when being comforted, most extraordinary people will not choose to betray their partners, let alone create illegitimate children.
Therefore, the joint investigation team, including the top leaders of both countries, did not even think about it in this regard.
But what if? What if... some high-ranking official, out of some inappropriate favoritism, allowed the illegitimate child hiding in the shadows to gain certain powers?
Then it is very likely that the current situation would have occurred!
This also explains why this person was able to perform such tricks under the noses of the top leaders of both sides - because no one has ever taken illegitimate children seriously.
The reason why Yu Zhi was able to think of this was because in her previous world, illegitimate children enjoyed the same inheritance rights as legitimate children, and news of illegitimate children and legitimate children fighting for power frequently broke out in society.
This is unheard of in interstellar society.
"Indeed...it's very likely." Xie Wenyu was shocked by her answer, then he reacted and agreed.
Wei Yuan also spoke with some difficulty: "It seems that the investigation team really didn't investigate this aspect."
They all felt that only direct descendants had the ability to obtain the core confidential technology within the empire, so even the investigation of collateral branches would be more relaxed.
As for illegitimate children, that was never considered at all.
"I will contact the investigation team first and keep in touch if there is anything else."
Wei Yuan hung up the phone in a hurry.
Time was running out, so he immediately called the head of the investigation team and told him this even somewhat absurd speculation.
"Got it! We'll go check it out right away!" The head of the investigation team's mind was obviously broadened, and his tone was full of admiration.

They still had to wait for new intelligence information from the investigation team, so Yu Zhi and the others had some free time to travel around the capital planet.
Sheng Jiayi fulfilled his promise to take her to have a good time on the Capital Star, but it was hard for Qiao Zhiyu as she had to deal with the final finishing work alone and could not participate in the group activities in the next few days.
Among the several tourist attractions provided by Sheng Jiayi, Yu Zhi first chose the Lost Garden.
This is an ancient garden complex that has been maintained and preserved since thousands of years ago. Just looking at the photos on the Internet has made Yu Zhi excited and she wants to go there quickly to check in and take pictures.
Everyone arrived at their destination in a hovercraft.
There is no need to buy SVIP fast pass tickets this time, because the entire venue has been cleared in advance by the top leaders of the empire, allowing only Yu Zhi and his group to play inside.
The Lost Garden is just like its promotional photos, so beautiful that it seems to be something otherworldly.
"I want to take a photo here!" Yu Zhi said excitedly.
Xie Wenyu has now become her personal photographer, and for this purpose he has taken several master photography classes, and even bought a professional camera for his equipment separately.
It is said that the effect will be clearer and more textured than that taken by a light computer.
Yu Zhi stood in the camera position she had carefully selected, with the purple jacaranda flowers hanging down behind her, like a purple waterfall falling on her.
She smiled brightly at Xie Wenyu's camera, and with a "click", the moment was frozen.
Kuiji's saliva was almost flowing out, until the girl finished filming and ran back, then he came to his senses and quickly slurped it back.
"Zhizhi, I want to take a photo with you—"
Ever since Sheng Jiayi discovered that acting coquettishly was very effective on Yu Zhi, he became more and more coquettish every day.
Yu Zhi had just finished taking a solo photo, and when she heard that, she waved at him without hesitation, "Come over here."
Sheng Jiayi went there happily, pressed his body tightly against Yu Zhi, and put his arm around her shoulders.
Xie Wenyu took a deep breath before adjusting the focus and pressing the capture button.
"Take a few more pictures of us!" Sheng Jiayi "ordered" arrogantly, and then took Yu Zhi's hand and changed several poses.
He was sure that Xie Wenyu would not quarrel with him at this time.
Sure enough, although Xie Wenyu's face darkened, he still worked hard to produce the film for the two of them.
"I want to take a picture too!" Kuiji took the opportunity to say something when Sheng Jiayi came over to see how the photos turned out.
"Hmm..." Yu Zhi pondered, "It would take too much time to take photos in the same place. Let's just take a few group photos in different scenic spots!"
Since her future partners had made such requests, she naturally had to try her best to be fair, but at the same time, she couldn't let it affect today's schedule.
No one had any objection. Although Chen Wang and Xie Wenyu did not fight for anything too obviously compared to Sheng Jiayi and Kui Ji, they certainly wanted to take a photo with Yu Zhi.
Now that he heard her say this on her own initiative, his expression became better.
In front of them was an ancient lakeside courtyard, with white calla lilies planted in the clear lakes around it. The first time Yu Zhi saw it, she felt that it perfectly matched Xie Wenyu's elegant temperament.
"Wen Yu, shall we take a picture here?" she asked for his opinion.
Xie Wenyu naturally had no reason to disagree, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes as gentle as water, "Okay."
But it was not until he walked to the center of the pavilion and struck his pose that he suddenly realized a problem.
Sheng Jiayi, who took over the filming work across the way...can he really produce anything good?
