After an hour of waiting, Tiger and Wolf Dog received notifications that Fang Liang had approved their texts. Without even taking a breath, they immediately logged into the purchased social accounts and posted the text and photos.

Tiger: [On the way home from farming, helped the garrison destroy an illegal business den [finger heart] [picture] [picture] [picture]]

Wolf Dog: [First time participating in a military operation, everyone see how Wolf Dog performed? [picture] [picture] [picture]]

The photos they posted intentionally avoided capturing beastified people, showing scenes of their members fighting bravely.

These two-star pirate groups had only a few hundred thousand fans, and even fewer could reply immediately.

Meng Dahu scrolled through comments, grinning from ear to ear.

“Damn, doing good deeds feels awesome!”

Little brothers surrounding him, cracking melon seeds and eating barbecue—

“They are all praising us!”

“Look! Everyone says we’re too handsome!”

“Hehehe, don’t know when the next mission is, really want to do it again.”

Meng Dahu’s refreshing hand couldn’t stop.

Click refresh, a special follow notification popped up.

[Your beloved friend “Chi Yao” liked your post~]

“Ao! Boss Chi looked at me!” Meng Dahu’s heart jumped wildly, feeling heart flutter for the first time.

Little brothers gathered around, indeed seeing Chi Yao’s name at the top of the like list.

Refresh again, comments and likes suddenly doubled.

Again, doubled again.

Netizens—

“Chi Yao spotted! Photo in front row!”

“Hahahaha, is this really a star pirate group? I almost forgot what star pirates’ main job is.”

“Chi Yao’s management is effective so quickly, great!”

“Is my focus only on the illegal business den? Looks so dangerous, must pay attention to safety~”

Chi Yao liked Tiger and Wolf Dog’s posts and ignored the rest.

Closing the terminal, he looked through the test report given by Chun Qin.

Chun Qin sat at the experiment table not far away, recording data at hand.

“I’ve made the same inhibitor as Li Bo’s, and improved the release agent given to you before. Ask me anytime if needed.”

Chi Yao responded casually, then asked: “How is the research progress on humanoid beasts?”

Chun Qin rubbed her sore brow, turning her head to look at him.

“Xiao Shuang and I are trying to make reagents to suppress humanoid beasts, currently still debugging.”

Apart from the IQ difference, humanoid beasts were much stronger than real mutated beasts, and Beast Kings also possessed unique skills. With a high IQ, the influence of this skill would be amplified.

Not to mention anything else, just dealing with the Beast King on 820, even a legion with Flying Dragon’s strength would have to pay a great price to win. Just the pervasive sound waves were a big trouble.

“When can debugging be finished?”

Chi Yao rested his chin on his hand, looking serious, “Speed needs to increase.”

The “it” mentioned by Li Bo and Chen Bingfeng, as well as Bai Yi and that organization’s attitude, made Chi Yao feel something was wrong. It seemed the real crisis was still lurking underwater, not exposed.

This feeling of floating in the air unable to touch the ground made him very uncomfortable.

“Increase speed again, just kill me directly, save me from suffering.”

Chou Shuang walked in from outside, wearing dark circles that foundation couldn’t cover, walking unsteadily.

Chi Yao glanced at her.

“You and Chou Tianlin are really a family, same style of dark circles.”

Chou Shuang rolled her eyes, dug out a bottle of cold milk from the fresh-keeping cabinet, and drank more than half in gulps.

“It’s all because of him that I bid farewell to my bed completely.”

Chi Yao didn’t want to pressure them, but reality didn’t allow it.

If it was the situation he thought of, without effective suppression measures, no one knew what the outcome would be.

Chi Yao: “You choose assistants from the Extreme Shadow and Flying Dragon yourselves. Tell me who you fancy, I’ll go coordinate with Xixi and the old man.”

Chou Shuang smiled brightly: “Need coordination? Now in Flying Dragon, just reporting your name gets green light all the way.”

Chi Yao spread his hands: “Wife spoils me too much, I can’t help it.”

Chou Shuang: “…”

Chatting a bit, the terminal vibrated suddenly. Chi Yao looked, it was Jing Xi.

[This is Major General Bo Jin’s military file, keep a copy on your side.]

Chi Yao’s fingertips jumped, waving to open.

Still the unchanging file format for ten thousand years, portrait on the top right.

The person in the photo had handsome features, introverted temperament, not even a smile when taking photos, not the easy-going type.

Good-looking, but Chi Yao looked carefully, nowhere looked like what he imagined.

A face of solitude, was this person really his father?

Chi Yao scrolled down.

The resume part was perfect.

Honors received and various achievements above A-level densely listed over a dozen pages. For an officer who died at less than thirty years old, it was a bit exaggerated.

But Jing Xi was still better.

Chi Yao complained silently.

At least Jing Xi had him, this good husband.

“Why is it him…”

Hearing Chun Qin’s voice, Chi Yao turned to look.

Chun Qin was looking at the virtual screen, expression somewhat surprised.

Chi Yao’s eyes flashed: “You know him?”

Chun Qin met his gaze, beautiful brows furrowing.

“He was the one who let me enter that base.”

Boom!

Like a firework suddenly exploded in the brain.

Chi Yao couldn’t believe it, saying almost word by word: “What did you say? He let you go to base 810?”

Even Chou Shuang heard this for the first time.

“Weren’t you captured by that organization?”

Chun Qin didn’t answer, looking at that portrait photo, silent for a moment.

“He is a Major General?”

Chi Yao: “Commander of Xuanwu Legion, Bo Jin, but disappeared involved in a storm more than twenty years ago.”

Chun Qin looked at the line he pointed to, shaking her head after seeing the specific time clearly.

“I saw him after that.”

Chi Yao’s heart jumped violently, frowning: “What exactly happened?”

This time Chun Qin was silent for longer.

Chou Shuang knew she used to be an assassin, might have many unbearable pasts. Seeing Chi Yao’s ugly face, afraid he would make things difficult, she said: “Some things are inconvenient to tell you—”

Chun Qin raised her hand to rest on the back of her hand, eyes indicating she was fine.

She looked at Chi Yao, expression very faint, almost no emotional ripples.

“Being an assassin, today but no tomorrow, I was tired of it long ago. But I knew nothing except killing, didn’t know what else to do.”

“That operation, I was discovered by the target, suddenly wanted to try the feeling of being killed by someone with one shot, but was saved by this person.”

Chi Yao: “…”

You are really something.

Chou Shuang: “…”

Can you fucking try this?

Saved while wanting to die, Chun Qin didn’t feel very happy.

Still alive meant continuing to execute assassination missions, too boring for her.

“I clearly stated that was the way I wanted to die, but he insisted I repay the kindness.”

Chi Yao/Chou Shuang: “…”

Demanding repayment for kindness, what kind of trash is this, pui!

Chun Qin said lightly: “He said he hoped I could help him protect someone, also could help me change a lifestyle. If still felt bored and wanted to die, then up to me.”

Chi Yao’s hands slowly tightened.

“So you followed his instructions and infiltrated base 810?”

Chun Qin nodded: “Indeed a bit interesting, so I stayed.”

Chi Yao: “…”

Probably only you find being modified interesting.

Chou Shuang was confused listening.

“Who did he ask you to protect? Why didn’t he protect himself? Damn, want to kill him!”

Chun Qin looked at Chi Yao: “You should know.”

Chi Yao: “I don’t know.”

Chun Qin: “He said that person was his son.”

Anger surged, Chi Yao stood up and left.

“I’m not interested in knowing about his son!”

Chou Shuang looked bewildered watching him rush out the door, pushing Chun Qin.

“What provocation did he receive?”

Chun Qin withdrew her gaze, smiling at Chou Shuang.

“His temper has always been like this. Let’s continue.”

Chou Shuang nodded.

Half an hour later, she suddenly exclaimed holy shit: “Bo Jin’s son is Chi Yao?!”

Chun Qin: “…”

Reflex arc so long?

Chou Shuang: “I fuck—If Chi Yao has such an awesome dad, isn’t he even more lawless?”

Chun Qin: “…”

Is the point here?

Walking out of the medical area, Chi Yao got angrier the more he thought.

If Bo Jin really died in that storm, whatever the reason, he indeed couldn’t take care of the young child anymore.

But he didn’t die, even knew he was captured, didn’t go to save, but found an unrelated person to infiltrate, calling it protection.

Gulping down a large glass of ice water, the surging emotions still couldn’t be suppressed.

Fingernails gradually sharpened, skin became rough and hard.

Chi Yao looked at his hands, suddenly laughing.

Might as well not investigate. The more investigated, the colder the heart.

How many people conspired for him to become like this?

If not cherishing, why give birth to him?

When Jing Xi found him, Chi Yao was standing alone at the bar counter.

“Yaoyao—”

He walked over, face changing upon seeing Chi Yao’s beastified hands.

“What happened to hands? Something wrong with the body?”

Chi Yao didn’t speak, silently withdrawing hands.

Jing Xi grabbed tight: “Let’s find Chou Tianlin.”

“No need.”

Chi Yao looked cold, sneering: “This is my normal state.”

Jing Xi immediately sensed his mood was wrong.

“What’s wrong?” He lowered his voice, making Chi Yao look at him, “Because of that file I sent you? If you don’t need it, then dele—”

Seeing Jing Xi’s anxiety and unease, Chi Yao knew he shouldn’t be like this.

Jing Xi never did anything wrong, nor let him down.

“If I disappear, at least you will remember.” Chi Yao’s smile was ironic.

Suddenly saying such pessimistic words, Jing Xi was even more sure something happened.

“You told me before not to keep everything inside. What about you? What can’t you tell me?”

Chi Yao pulled him out of the kitchen.

“You once said Bo Jin and his husband had a good relationship. But are there people who might love each other but react coldly to children’s issues?”

Jing Xi frowned: “What do you mean?”

Chi Yao turned his head to look at him: “I’m thinking, I might not be a child born for a normal purpose.”

Ordinary families want children for nothing more than wanting a blood connection with lover, wanting family to be more complete, liking children etc…

“In ordinary families, if a child falls into water, parents would be worried to death, right?”

Chi Yao smiled, “But I was captured for modification, he was actually indifferent.”

Parental love easily obtained by ordinary people was simply a joke to him.

Seeing Jing Xi’s expression of “I really want to comfort you but don’t know what you are saying”, Chi Yao was amused, touching his face, briefly recounting what happened in the medical area just now.

“Finding a killer to protect son, I can’t even do such a coquettish operation.”

Jing Xi looked somber, thoughtful: “Is it possible someone else disguised?”

Chi Yao: “Who do you think would know where I was captured, disguise as Bo Jin to save a female killer, then let her infiltrate the organization to protect me?”

If this person was from Xuanwu Legion, the other party should have contacted the military to send people immediately upon discovering he was captured.

If a person within the organization, doing this only resulted in tricking a female killer into the organization, but they could have more and more direct methods, no need to be so roundabout.

Regardless of what stance this person stood on, there was no motive to do this, except Bo Jin himself.

Jing Xi: “Then at least confirmed Major General Bo is still alive. As long as alive, there will be a chance to confront face to face in the future.”

Chi Yao sat on the sofa, face unhappy: “I must have done too many bad things in my previous life to be reincarnated into this kind of family in this life.”

Jing Xi leaned shoulder to shoulder with him, saying expressionlessly: “Then I must have saved the universe in my previous life, born at others’ finish line.”

Chi Yao: “…”

Chi Yao: “Are you comforting me or pissing me off?”

Jing Xi kept a straight face: “I like you.”

Chi Yao: “……”

Can you put some heart into it?

In just half a month, the number of amusement parks decreased by another 5%.

Flying Dragon command cabin small conference room.

Chi Yao looked at the map on the virtual screen in the middle of the round table. Besides 15% fewer red dots, there were some asterisk marks. These were amusement parks with transfer movements after the incident.

“The more places transferred, the more clues we can capture.” Zhuo Lin said.

Lin Chengde looked at Jing Xi, smiling: “What excuse do you plan to use later? Thought of it?”

Jing Xi: “New repair technology.”

Lin Chengde: “Wasn’t this excuse used?”

Jing Xi said calmly: “Another new type of repair technology. As for which type, I’m not a professional, don’t know much.”

Lin Chengde: “…”

You really are something.

These two kids, one openly bad, one secretly bad, indeed from the same family.

Chi Yao looked at Lin Chengde’s adjutant.

“Besides these, did they mention other situations?”

Adjutant: “Besides transfer and strengthening defense system, more than half of these amusement parks have been emergently closed. For those not closed, we sent more manpower to monitor all personnel entering and exiting.”

Chi Yao: “Mn.”

Noticing his expression, Lin Chengde was puzzled: “Brat, things progressing too smoothly, unhappy?”

Chi Yao: “Indeed nothing to be happy about.”

Aspects involved in one amusement park already counted as a big case, let alone so many.

If all black and white industries involved in that organization were uprooted, unknown how many planets’ economic development would be shaken.

Most importantly, the smoother things went, the stronger the unease in his heart.

More annoyed thinking about it, Chi Yao simply gave up thinking, opening social platform personal homepage.

Jing Xi glanced: “Who posted status again?”

Chi Yao: “Viper, one copy divided into ten days still not finished, this dead old man.”

This half month, star pirate groups posted battlefield photos every day. Chi Yao liked everyone very professionally.

Because of him, the topic #Star pirate groups on the way to do good deeds today# hung at the top of hot search every day.

Military high-level meeting, Jing Xi reported 820 post-disaster reconstruction progress, then sent out Chou Tianlin’s test report.

“Doctor Chou means this beastification doesn’t come from external force, but genetic modification.”

Everyone present changed expression suddenly, atmosphere instantly tense.

Zhao Hongyi clenched fists, endured and endured but still cursed.

“Check for me! All involved personnel must not be spared!”

If the death penalty could be graded, illegal human modification would be the highest level felony.

Jing Xi: “Fortunately, with support from local garrisons, the Extreme Shadow leader guided local star pirate groups to participate in clearing and capture missions. I think it’s worth encouraging. Submitted a reward list here, hope to be approved.”

Pei Zhenyue clicked open the list. Basically, energy and basic armaments, models eliminated by military.

“Okay.” Pei Zhenyue said, “But strictly supervise to ensure they don’t use armaments for illegal things.”

Jing Xi nodded: “Also, what every star pirate group wants most is having empire citizen household registration. I suggest issuing relevant detailed rules, implement according to rules. Star pirates having household registration is also more convenient for empire management. This is a win-win situation.”

Pei Zhenyue: “I will consider carefully.”

Bai Yi, on the sid,e suddenly spoke: “Many among star pirates are criminals, even death row prisoners. If easily giving these people household registration again, fear it will cause public dissatisfaction.”

Jing Xi: “But there are also those among them who lost household registration accidentally. I think we can use a method combining system and reality, considering whether to give household registration based on comprehensive scoring.”

Bai Yi looked at him deeply, smiling: “You considered very thoroughly.”

Jing Xi: “Also, the technology department discovered another new type of repair technology, which may lead to a breakthrough.”

Suddenly changing topic caught off guard, THE smile on Bai Yi’s lips froze.

Zhao Hongyi: “Not bad!”

Pei Zhenyue: “Done very well.”

Both expressed views. Bai Yi forced to speak: “Your subordinate’s ability is very good, worthy of praise.”

Jing Xi said lightly: “This is what they should do.”

Bai Yi: “Roughly how much more can be repaired?”

Jing Xi: “Unclear. I will let them do their best.”

Bai Yi: “…”

At night, inside the luxurious villa, Bai Yi flew into a rage.

“Jing Xi!”

Bai Yi swept the tea set off the tea table, a breath stuck in the chest, unable to swallow, no matter what.

This half month was like lingchi, cutting flesh, knife by knife.

Thought finally endured to the end, didn’t expect the other party to come up with this again!

The housekeeper shrank in the corner.

“I think he’s just talking big, wanting the commander-in-chief to appreciate him more.”

Bai Yi looked somber: “Whether big talk or not, you will know very soon.”

Stations being destroyed wasn’t just losing a station. Once destruction reached a certain level, the entire operation network would be paralyzed. Then, without them repairing the data, they would also be exposed.

Can’t wait anymore.

Jing Xi and Chi Yao must die.
