As Jing Xi expected, Lin Chengde couldn’t sit still when he saw the stack of amusement park blueprints.

Discovering each amusement park took a massive amount of time, energy, and resources, yet these two kids threw them all out at once. Who could remain calm?

“Where did you get these? Is that organization’s data so easy to steal?”

In the conference room, Lin Chengde asked curiously.

“Base 810,” Jing Xi replied. “The place where Chi Yao underwent modification after being captured.”

Lin Chengde was stunned and couldn’t help looking at Chi Yao, his eyes seeking confirmation of the truth.

“It’s been abandoned.”

Chi Yao’s expression was indifferent. “But for some reason, it wasn’t destroyed. All this data was recovered from the system by Xixi.”

Lin Chengde became more surprised as he listened.

An abandoned base would be emptied of everything. It was impossible to still store system data.

Even if deleted, it would definitely be permanently deleted, leaving no trace.

He didn’t expect such data could be recovered.

He looked at Jing Xi: “Is the military’s recovery technology so high-end now?”

Chi Yao said idly: “Not military technology, it’s Xixi’s skill.”

Lin Chengde: “…”

Chi Yao straightened up: “You are responsible for all monitoring of these places. Do you have enough personnel?”

Hearing him ask this, Lin Chengde felt looked down upon.

“Just this bit? Ten times more, and you won’t see me frown.”

Getting old makes one like to brag.

Chi Yao was too lazy to respond: “When your people are in place, I plan a joint operation to take out a part first.”

They had already let the word out at the base before. If there was no action for a long time, it would make the people behind the scenes suspicious instead.

Lin Chengde agreed very readily: “People will be fully in place before 0:00 tonight. Which ones to take out, I listen to you!”

“Good.”

Chi Yao looked at Jing Xi, “Xixi, send him the plan we discussed.”

Lin Chengde watched their tacit cooperation. Not like a star pirate and an officer, but more like comrades-in-arms for many years.

After the discussion meeting, walking out of the conference room, Lin Chengde patted Jing Xi’s shoulder, sighing: “With a friend like you, Ah Yao is motivated and looks much more pleasing to the eye.”

Jing Xi kept a straight face: “He and I are not friends.”

Chi Yao walked out, brushing Lin Chengde’s hand away: “Speak if you want to speak, don’t touch.”

Lin Chengde: “…”

Retract previous statement.

While Lin Chengde was busy deploying troops, Chi Yao’s terminal vibrated. It was a reply from the star pirate group.

Viper: [This person is Zhang Sheng, CEO of Jiayu. We bought his scopes three years ago.]

Hunting Dog: [Yes, it’s Zhang Sheng. I saw his face online.]

Tiger: [Boss, you want to buy accessories? Our group has them! Take whatever you fancy!]

Chi Yao scanned roughly. Apart from saying Zhang Sheng was Jiayu’s CEO, no other information was mentioned.

Chi Yao: [Has he been active in the star pirate circle?]

After sending the message, he received many replies almost instantly.

Viper: [We haven’t seen him.]

Hunting Dog: [Our cooperation followed a formal contract. With Jiayu’s strength, they shouldn’t need to do shady stuff.]

Tiger: [Haven’t seen him woo woo]

“How is it?”

Jing Xi walked over, handed him a glass of water, his gaze sweeping across his screen, “None know?”

Chi Yao took it, drank half, and put it on the table.

“A bunch of guys with only muscles and no brains. Asking them is asking in vain.”

Jing Xi thought for a moment and shook his head: “With Zhang Sheng’s current financial power, if he had been a star pirate before, many people would definitely remember him.”

Remembering a down-and-out person is hard, but remembering a successful person is easy.

After all, jealousy is an emotion no one can avoid.

Chi Yao looked at the jumping messages on the screen: “Brother Black, see if there are any more joining the group. Let them in.”

Xiao Hei: [Wasn’t it only open for one hour?]

Chi Yao: “Just saying. Why so serious?”

Xiao Hei: [……]

It was rare for Chi Yao to appear in the group. Every star pirate group wished he would notice them at first glance.

Viper posted a photo first.

In the gap of letting people in, Chi Yao clicked it open casually.

In the photo was an endless wasteland. A group of burly men with cracked lips from the sun were sweating profusely. An old man wearing a straw hat and looking gentle was watering small seedlings with a watering can.

Chi Yao zoomed in, pointing at this person and saying to Jing Xi: “This is Viper’s boss.”

Jing Xi glanced at it: “Looks like an intellectual.”

Chi Yao sneered: “Pretending.”

With Viper taking the lead, other star pirate groups also started posting photos crazily below.

Chi Yao soon got annoyed watching. Just wondering whether to tell them to stop posting, he heard Jing Xi say: “Choose a few photos and send them to me.”

Chi Yao raised an eyebrow: “For what?”

Jing Xi opened his social platform homepage.

“Posting a status.”

Chi Yao watched him select photos, edit a line of text, and click send. He immediately liked and commented.

After typing the word “wife” quickly, he deleted it and retyped a line.

“Thank you Major General Jing for your continuous support [clapping]”

Jing Xi glimpsed him click send, found the comment in special follow, and clicked reply.

“Thanks to Mr. Chi’s guidance, please continue to work hard [handshake]”

This comment quickly rushed to the top of hot comments, only the replies under the comment changed style.

“Commercial mutual blowing spotted!”

“Polite on the surface, heavy punches in the dark?”

“Always feel they are about to fight.”

“Sense of plastic brotherhood.”

“First time seeing Chi Yao speak so officially. Little assistant posted it, right?”

“Seeing you guys think so too, I can leave relieved.”

Seeing these comments, Chi Yao: “…”

Jing Xi leaned over, chin resting on his shoulder: “No one believes we can get along well. So tragic.”

Chi Yao turned his head, touching the tip of his nose.

“We indeed don’t look like we can be friends.”

Jing Xi’s gaze swept across Chi Yao’s face.

“Doesn’t matter if we can’t be friends, as long as we can be partners.”

A notification sound rang. Chi Yao looked at Jing Xi’s screen.

Pei Zhenyue liked it and left a message in the first hot comment.

“I testify, they haven’t fought for a long time.”

Before Jing Xi could reply, the notification sound rang again. It was Jing Rong liking it and replying to Pei Zhenyue.

“They just fought not long ago.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Grandpa, what fun are you joining?

Soon, Pei Zhenyue replied.

“He’s talking nonsense. My words have higher credibility.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Can argue over this too?

Chi Yao silently liked Jing Rong’s comment and laughed out loud: “Grandpa must be afraid our relationship will be exposed, smoothing things over for us.”

He even had a picture of Jing Rong anxiously thinking of lines and cursing.

The Extreme Shadow’s mobility was unquestionable. All personnel were in place before 0:00.

Chi Yao, Jing Xi, and Lin Chengde stood in front of the monitoring console, looking at hundreds of virtual monitoring screens suspended in mid-air.

Each screen represented an amusement park.

The blueprints marked the planet and coordinates of the amusement parks. Except for a few extremely hard-to-find ones that dragged on some time, all were found smoothly.

Chi Yao pointed to the nearest 852-a and 861-g, saying: “We go to these two places. All other planets within 3 hours travel distance will be assigned Flying Dragon and Extreme Shadow personnel. Simultaneous action at 5 am tomorrow.”

Lin Chengde: “Flying Dragon people can appear, but Extreme Shadow isn’t quite appropriate, is it?”

“Nothing inappropriate.”

Chi Yao sneered, “None of the organization’s high-level members should think I would stand on their side.”

Lin Chengde understood instantly.

The joint operation of Extreme Shadow and Flying Dragon might seem to that organization like Chi Yao using military power to take the opportunity for revenge, not necessarily thinking in the direction of their cooperation.

After all, Chi Yao and Jing Xi being mortal enemies was a widely recognized fact.

Thinking of this, Lin Chengde put his hands behind his back, saying seriously: “Stay safe.”

Inside the hangar, Chi Yao helped Jing Xi tighten his cuffs.

“Let Li Yuan follow you. Don’t force yourself if there’s a problem.”

To avoid the risk of beastified humans, Chi Yao gave Jing Xi a part of Extreme Shadow’s people, while bringing a group of Flying Dragon’s people himself.

Jing Xi: “You are the one who shouldn’t mess around.”

Chi Yao hugged him, pecked his face, and whispered: “Contact me anytime if there’s danger.”

Jing Xi nodded.

Before separating, he already started to feel reluctant.

But this mission didn’t allow them to be clingy.

The two boarded two military spaceships separately.

After walking up the steps, Chi Yao turned around. Jing Xi happened to be looking at him too.

He smiled and mouthed something, turning to walk into the hatch.

The hatch closed. After interpreting the mouthed words, Jing Xi’s ears turned slightly red.

“Boss, are you feeling unwell?” Jin Ze asked with concern, “2 hours to target location. Should I have them stew a chicken now—”

“No need.”

Jing Xi walked inside quickly with a straight face, “Call them over for a meeting.”

Jin Ze: “Yes!”

In the main cabin conference room, Jing Xi enlarged the blueprint of the amusement park they were responsible for into the air.

This time it was similar to the last aerial amusement park, except this one would only float into the air during specific opening hours.

Previously with the double insurance of Li Bo and Chen Bingfeng, even floating in the air wouldn’t be discovered.

Jing Xi: “This operation focuses on capture—”

Everyone took notes seriously.

Jing Xi finished explaining the combat plan and looked at everyone: “Any questions?”

No one spoke for a long time.

Jin Ze raised his hand: “Your plan is already very detailed. Nothing needs to be added.”

Others echoed immediately.

Jing Xi stood up: “Good, then execute according to this—”

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Jin Ze.

He exchanged a look with Han Yousheng and hesitated: “Boss, who exactly is Chi Yao? Why does General Lin treat him—”

Good as a son.

He didn’t say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present thought so.

Holding a high position with impeccable family background, such a general acting so intimately towards Chi Yao was simply unreasonable.

Not saying Chi Yao wasn’t worthy, but these two were completely people from two worlds and shouldn’t have intersected.

Even if there was an intersection, it shouldn’t be in this form.

Since Lin Chengde appeared, Jing Xi saw they were full of questions.

“If I don’t answer, will it affect this operation?”

Han Yousheng scratched his head, saying embarrassedly: “Won’t affect, but constantly thinking about it is too uncomfortable.”

Jin Ze and others echoed: “Yeah, if it’s classified then forget it.”

Jing Xi had no expression, saying lightly: “It’s not time to tell you yet.”

Jin Ze and others had an “as expected” expression, arguably very disappointed.

Curiosity kills the cat!

“However—”

Hmm?

Everyone widened their eyes, pricking up their ears to listen.

A smile floated in Jing Xi’s eyes.

“One day, he will walk from the opposite side to my side.”

Everyone: “…”

Full of expectations, ended up being slapped in the face with dog food?

Boss, don’t learn from the boss next door not being human!

After the meeting ended, Jin Ze relied on having collaborated with Li Yuan and went over to hook his shoulder.

“Brother, you must know something, right?”

Li Yuan hmphed: “Nonsense, don’t look at how many years I’ve stayed in Extreme Shadow?”

Hearing this, others immediately gathered around.

“Brother Yuan, leak some news. Leak is puppy!”

Li Yuan: “…”

Care if you are kitten or puppy?

Jin Ze looked left and right like a thief, eyes shining. He lowered his voice: “Old Li, is your boss related by blood to our general?”

This question was asked obscurely, but Flying Dragon’s people all understood.

A general holding heavy power currying favor with a star pirate? If not deep profit collusion, then must be biological son.

But Li Yuan didn’t understand.

He pretended to think deeply: “Not impossible.”

Hoo!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Sure enough!

Chi Yao is really General Lin’s long-lost son!

“No wonder—” Jin Ze tutted and shook his head, “Son in old age, no wonder so spoiled—”

Li Yuan: “?”

On another spaceship, Chi Yao, who inexplicably gained a father, gathered everyone together.

Flying Dragon’s soldiers stood amidst a group of colorful star pirates, more than a little abrupt.

They stood straight and spirited. In comparison, Extreme Shadow was much more lax, standing without posture, eating and chatting.

Seeing Chi Yao looking over, the soldiers couldn’t help straightening their backs even more.

On this business trip, absolutely cannot embarrass the commander.

“No need to be so nervous.” Chi Yao lifted his chin at Fang Liang, “Let them adapt to the team.”

Fang Liang: “Yes.”

The soldiers looked at Fang Liang.

Handsome, not ruffian-like, considered quite upright in Extreme Shadow, couldn’t help feeling a bit closer.

Fang Liang clapped his hands to Extreme Shadow brothers: “Old rules, show enthusiasm!”

All Extreme Shadow: “Yes!”

Soldiers: “…”

So scared, want to go home woo woo woo—

A moment later, soldiers and Extreme Shadow little brothers had arms around each other’s shoulders, drinking water and eating meat. After three cups of water, started bragging.

After a heart-to-heart exchange, looking at each other became much more pleasing to the eye.

Fang Liang nodded with satisfaction.

Team building very successful, just a bit water-consuming.

When the main force left, Chi Yao entered the main cabin.

The virtual screen floating on the monitoring console displayed the amusement park to be breached this time.

A casino disguised as an ordinary residential area. Spectators gambled money, participants gambled lives.

Chi Yao checked the distribution of Extreme Shadow personnel in the virtual monitoring screen.

This operation was to some extent a preview to the organization, forcibly breaking through while they were prepared, so the Extreme Shadow was only responsible for monitoring, inconvenient to act.

Liu Wu walked over from the console.

“Just checked. The entire town where the residential area is located was bought out by them. This is the buyer information.”

Chi Yao took it to see.

Naturally impossible for that organization to buy land directly in the name of high-level members. The file naturally showed a company he didn’t recognize.

Chi Yao returned it to him: “Check this company. See if there’s any connection with the military.”

“Checking already.”

Liu Wu finished speaking, hesitating for a moment, “You asked us about Major General Bo before. Do you know something?”

Chi Yao’s gaze turned from the screen to him.

“You want to know?”

Liu Wu nodded.

Chi Yao: “Then answer me first. What is Liu Sichen’s relationship with you?”

Liu Wu: “…”

Sure enough, getting intelligence from this kid wasn’t that easy.

“Can’t answer? Then change a question.” Chi Yao said casually, “Is he really a research staff of that organization?”

Liu Wu: “…”

This question was even more deadly.

Chi Yao stood up: “Then can only let Xixi prosecute for treason—”

“Wait!”

Liu Wu stopped him, wiping his face and sighing, “In university, he joined an organization called ‘Lost Alliance’, specialized in finding missing persons. I couldn’t stop him, so I let him be.”

Chi Yao paused, eyes narrowing slightly: “Lost Alliance?”

Liu Wu nodded: “Heard it started as a small group formed by families of missing persons, using their connections to share clues about missing persons and helping each other find people.”

Seeing Chi Yao sit down again, Liu Wu recalled the past, looking desolate: “The year the legion had the accident, my wife just conceived the second child. Later due to many things, I couldn’t contact my family for a long time. They all thought I was dead.”

Chi Yao: “So hearing about such an organization, he joined?”

Liu Wu nodded: “When I noticed, he had already mixed into this organization. I advised him, but he didn’t listen.”

As many people captured into this organization for modification, there were as many people searching for lost relatives.

Chi Yao had also paid attention for a while, but stopped looking after finding no one looking for him.

“Xu Zhou is also from this organization?”

Liu Wu: “Should be. I don’t know much. He isn’t willing to communicate with me.”

Although discovering the father missing for many years was still alive, the days without father’s company for so many years wouldn’t change.

Desperately wanted to find, but found only to discover couldn’t be close anymore.

Chi Yao suddenly remembered for a period of time, Jing Xi always looked at him wanting to speak but stopping. Thinking about it now, probably afraid?

Afraid after knowing the truth, still have no good feelings for the other party.

Seeing Chi Yao silent, Liu Wu feared he didn’t believe, hurriedly said: “Some intelligence obtained by the Extreme Shadow was given by him. He alone doesn’t have that much energy. I think it should be transmitted by his organization through him.”

Chi Yao didn’t express an attitude towards what he said.

He had never heard of this Lost Alliance, but if Liu Sichen could provide intelligence to the Extreme Shadow, this Jiayu factory transaction—

Thinking carefully, indeed too smooth.

Arriving at the target planet, Chi Yao stood on the high platform, gaze sweeping over the formation below.

Everyone ready to go. Even Ying Wei awakened the armor, a face looking forward to fighting.

When the agreed time arrived, Chi Yao’s voice was lazy.

“Set off—”
