Chapter 426: Chapter 426: It Seems Like Commander Gu is a Bit Bad
Su Wan lifted her head and noticed that the flyer had already come to a stop on her family’s helipad.
She said, "I just got home. I need to sort out the stuff for the live broadcast."
"Okay."
Assured that Wanwan had returned home, Gu Jue felt relieved.
He put down the light computer and said to everyone, "Someone has infiltrated the military headquarters, the matter concerning Landis City."
"What?!"
One moment, everyone was choking on the dog food fed to them by Commander Gu, the next, upon hearing this, they all became serious.
In fact, the secrets of Landis City exist in highly classified documents.
After several previous incidents, everyone in the military had re-examined them.
Anyone of doubtful identity or colluding with Star Thief Insectoids had long been apprehended.
Shang Zhuo, who had just been promoted from Probationary Commander to full Commander, was completely baffled.
Again, the matter of the Seventh Starship Fleet?
Shang Zhuo was getting restless.
That damn bunch, why do they always burrow into his fleet!
Agros, on the other hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, let’s catch the person first."
Shang Zhuo clenched his teeth, "I want to see who the bastard is!"
Finally, the person was caught inside the classified document room.
Bai Yu and the other Star Thief were a bit confused.
Although their mission this time seemed dangerous, infiltrating the military headquarters,
sometimes the darkest place is beneath the lamp.
They were only stealing intelligence and tried their best to avoid conflict.
The risk factor wasn’t too high.
Moreover, they estimated that the people of the Federal Empire would not expect them to have the audacity to steal information about Landis City at this time.
But... because Bai Yu, disguised, took an extra look at Su Wan at the door, they were caught before they could complete their mission.
If Bai Yu knew the truth, who knows whether he might genuinely cry.
Looking at Gu Jue in front of them, Bai Yu and his companion were trying hard to remain calm.
The personas they were wearing were those of legal citizens of the Federal Empire.
Yeah, don’t be afraid.
At worst, they could look for an opportunity to escape, and when the time came, those two unlucky ones would be thrown out to take the blame.
Even so, upon seeing Gu Jue, both of them subconsciously shuddered, not daring to meet his gaze.
Other people must also be afraid of Gu Jue... right?
It wasn’t that they were cowards.
Bai Yu thought they would surely be interrogated since, as ordinary Interstellar Warriors, they shouldn’t be near the secret room...
But Gu Jue directly stated, "Take them to the interrogation room."
Bai Yu’s head shot up!
To be captured just like that?
He immediately said in a disguised voice, "Commander Sir, we just took a wrong turn, why are you detaining us?"
The Star Thief disguised as a Star Warrior hurriedly added, "Commander, we were wrong! We really just lost our way. Oh, and we’re from the Seventh Starship Fleet!"
On hearing this, Shang Zhuo’s eyelid twitched.
He was just about to speak when he realized Gu Jue was merely saying very coldly, "Take them away."
Bai Yu: "..."
He didn’t even get a chance to struggle when he was taken away, but no matter, they would act according to the retreat plan.
At worst, they’d just return from their mission to scout the military secrets without any achievement.
Once they had been taken away, Shang Zhuo hurriedly said, "Commander, let me interrogate them!"
Gu Jue replied, "You go find these two people."
Shang Zhuo’s pupils narrowed, and he immediately understood!
"They’re fakes?"
Several minutes passed, and Gu Jue approached Bai Yu, saying, "Speak, who are you?"
Bai Yu: "Of course, Commander Gu doesn’t know me; I’m just from the Seventh Starship Fleet..."
Gu Jue cut him off, "The two people you replaced have already been brought here; they’re just outside. Want to take a look?"
Bai Yu: "..."
Gu Jue said nothing more. Instead, at that moment, Gu Qingyu, dressed in a white lab coat with his assistant and various medical instruments in tow, came in.
He excitedly said, "Is this a new kind of face-swapping technique? Even the pupils are changed, pretty impressive. Commander Gu, since there are two people here, can I dissect one to study?"
Bai Yu: "..."
He cursed angrily: "Mu Qingyu, you bastard, you wouldn’t dare!"
Gu Qingyu pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, smiling and said, "You still remember my surname is Mu, seems like an acquaintance indeed."
Bai Yu: "..."
No longer able to keep up the pretense, Bai Yu eventually confessed everything.
At worst, he would be thrown back into the Interstellar Prison.
But if he delayed confessing, what if that lunatic Mu Qingyu really did cut him open for research!
It was simple, Lucifer had heard that Gu Jue had obtained the secrets of Landis City.
So he specifically sent people to steal them.
And it wasn’t just Bai Yu and his accomplice.
After instructing his subordinates to strengthen security inspections at the military base and the port, Gu Jue left.
Shang Zhuo felt very guilty and volunteered to lead the recently on-leave members of the Seventh Starship Fleet to resume their mission.
Gu Jue checked the time, then turned and walked outside.
Work was over.
He had to go back and keep Wanwan company.
By the time he hurried home, he saw Su Wan and Xiaochen swimming back and forth in the pool.
Ever since evolving into a Mermaid, Su Wan had become particularly fond of water.
If she didn’t soak for an hour or two every day, she would feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Gu Jue return, she propped herself up on the poolside with both hands, tilted back her head, letting her long obedient hair hang down, revealing her beautiful neckline.
"Ajue, did you catch them?"
Gu Jue nodded, "Yeah, it’s Bai Yu, and the other one is also a Star Thief. Wanwan, you guessed right; they were here to probe the secrets of Landis."
Su Wan: "But they couldn’t find anything."
Because the mushroom that opened the space-time portal had disappeared without a trace.
Oh, and now it had involved Su Wan.
And that Magic Stone that could affect the Beastman couldn’t be taken out either.
Gu Jue extended his hand, helping her with a lock of hair that had fallen over her eyes, gently pushing it aside.
He said, "That’s good. They will be wary, but they’ll never find the thing."
Su Wan immediately understood.
Many were curious about the secret of Landis City, and if Lucifer and his cohorts knew the Federal Empire had this secret, they would be even more wary.
They wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
How to put it, Commander Gu seems a little bit bad, doesn’t he?
Of course, to that bunch of Star Thieves and Insectoids, this bit of badness was nothing.
After all, those people had done far too many bad things.
Gu Jue: "How are you feeling today?"
Su Wan: "Still a bit sleepy, and I get hungry so easily. Ajue, what kind of fish do you think I’m carrying?"
This little one in her belly sure knew how to eat, didn’t it?
Seeing his petite wife’s eager look, Gu Jue chuckled lightly, "No worries, regardless of what kind of fish we have, our family can afford it."
Gu Jue was the Federal Empire’s top Commander and also part of the Royal Family.
Plus, Su Wan was in charge of the Su Family’s chain of restaurants.
It could be said that their combined wealth could not only support an eating whiz-kid.
They could easily support a planet full of such gluttons!
