Chapter 712: Chapter 218: Information Exchange (Part 2)
If the resentment hasn’t ended yet, placing Xue Zhiyi there is indeed dangerous.
After getting the results, Xue Feiting wanted to contact Su Xiaocai.
"Help me arrange a meeting with Su Xiaocai, there are some things I want to know."
Yi Xue nodded, as only she from the Xue Family had Su Xiaocai’s contact details. Every message sent needed a wait for a reply.
This time, Su Xiaocai replied quickly, saying it was possible to meet in the New World.
Coincidentally, Su Xiaocai wanted to know whether Xue Feiqun really had an illegitimate child.
After Yi Xue helped arrange the meeting with Su Xiaocai, she looked at Xue Feiting with concern, "What are you planning to discuss with Su Xiaocai?"
"Probably just exchanging information; at the very least, we need to know if there’s any other resentment between Su Xiaocai and our family. No need to worry for now, Xue Feiqun’s illegitimate child isn’t a girl."
If the child were Su Xiaocai, not acknowledging them back into the Xue Family would actually be a loss.
Yi Xue gently punched Xue Feiting, "I’m serious. If Xue Feiqun really did something outrageous, would we help him?"
"We won’t aid anything illegal, but private vendettas, we could help find resolutions." Xue Feiting knew well that since the Yi Family was once slapped by Su Xiaocai, all relatives were required to be vigilant and couldn’t indulge younger generations.
The Yi Family held great power, and the Xue Family relied on the Yi Family.
Xue Feiting had to make choices.
Su Xiaocai and Xue Feiting met for the first time; they were unfamiliar with each other, skipping small talk and getting straight to the point.
The conversation ended swiftly, with Su Xiaocai learning that it was true Xue Feiqun had an illegitimate child. Xue Feiting also understood why Su Xiaocai was investigating; with nearly all her biological parents and relatives facing disaster, anyone else in her shoes would investigate too.
"I promise that regardless of the findings, it won’t affect Xue Zhiyi." Su Xiaocai had a fondness for this brother, who was carefree, innocent, and loved small animals.
Upon exchanging intelligence and confirming the existence of Xue Feiqun’s illegitimate child, Su Xiaocai smiled, deducing that Xue Feiqun was certainly hiding something, though she was unsure about his exact role.
Xue Feiting’s suspicions couldn’t be ruled out yet, but his son was still in her hands, plus he had genetic issues needing her medication, reducing the suspicions significantly.
If he indeed had issues, then his psychological strength must be terrifyingly strong.
...
That day, after various factories wrapped up auditing, Su Xiaocai accompanied Admiral Bai to the space station, along with Ji Li, boarding Admiral Bai’s battleship, navigating to the nearest barren star.
The Solidified Gene Bomb had been created, and the Combined Star-destroying Weapon was fully assembled, requiring testing.
For testing, a site was a must.
Capital Star certainly couldn’t serve as a testing ground.
Admiral Bai knew Su Xiaocai wanted to conduct tests, immediately offering any required testing environment.
Once Su Xiaocai had free time, he took them along without delay.
Upon reaching the barren star, thousands of Insect Men were gradually transported there as well.
Su Xiaocai didn’t plan to conduct the test herself; if she did, the samples wouldn’t be representative, thus ordinary Mecha soldiers must perform the tests.
The barren star had harsh conditions, constantly battered by strong winds, with temperatures persistently at minus thirty degrees. The thousands of Insect Men, unable to navigate the cosmos, wouldn’t survive long without food.
Coincidentally, the military also needed to test several instruments, so alongside Admiral Bai, several other Star System officers were present.
Organizing a similar test was challenging, capturing Insect Men alive and transporting them here, passing through checkpoints required passing five gates. Carrying Insect Men, direct intrusion into the Star System’s heart wasn’t possible.
Since the test items were classified and not meant to be observed, the best method was to keep changing locations for each test.
Admiral Bai had control over the whereabouts of the test site, naturally benefiting Admiral Bai as well.
Su Xiaocai and Ji Li explained separately to the soldiers involved in the test how to use the two items.
Admiral Bai and several other leaders stood with their hands behind on the battleship’s deck, watching the orderly instrument tuning and usage below.
Everyone was most focused on Su Xiaocai, known for her surprises.
"Admiral Bai, what kind of experiment does Admiral Su intend to conduct? It seems to be a new technology once again."
"Why not just wait and see?" Admiral Bai hesitated to admit he wasn’t entirely sure himself, fearing it would show his distant relationship with Su Xiaocai.
"That man beside Admiral Su, is he her boyfriend?"
"Kind of!"
"It’s a pity; a military tough guy would be better suited for Admiral Su!"
"Better in what way? Her fists are harder than a military tough guy’s; getting together might just be about improving combat skills, right?" Retired personnel can’t match Su Xiaocai, while active ones are either fighting or on their way to fight, leaving no time for romance.
