Wanqi Siling
Chapter 694 Closing In
Feng Li confirmed that Haik was the culprit without hesitation, causing Mingmei and Mu Chen, who had come over, to fall silent for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Feng Li raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing the subtle expressions on Mingmei and Mu Chen's faces. "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"No, it's just… it feels a little too smooth." Mingmei and the others still felt like they were in a dream when they discovered all the clues, even wondering if someone had set a trap.
For example, could Yuke Lian also have a problem, and Haik was just the one who was exposed?
"That's because you have a God's-eye view that makes you think everything is going smoothly."
Feng Li smiled at Mingmei and the others' suspicion, turned her head, and while pulling Oulai, who was pushing her wheelchair, she held the other's large hand. Feng Li let out a soft, almost inaudible sigh.
"The Outer Star Sea is filled with death and violence every day. Who would care if someone died when they don't know that the Zerg are about to steal the starfield defense map of the Third Army Corps through these information dealers in the Outer Star Sea?"
After Feng Li finished speaking, Mingmei and Mu Chen were even more speechless.
Yes, if no one knew all of this, who would have thought that someone in the Outer Star Sea would collude with the Zerg, and eventually give themselves away, attracting the Empire's attention to this place?
"When was Haik exposed in reality?"
Mu Chen suddenly asked, causing Feng Li to take another look at him.
"It should be after the information dealer was arrested. Haik was the one who took the lead in inciting those people to retaliate." Feng Li said, as if thinking of something, "Fortunately, Yuke Lian reminded me at the time."
Feng Li recalled what happened at that time, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. Her hand gripped Oulai's hand even tighter.
Speaking of which, Oulai was the first to notice that something was wrong, and because of this discovery, he was ambushed during the investigation.
After that, her entire attention was on Oulai. Because he was a mixed-blood, Feng Li stayed by his side during the days when Oulai's genes finally collapsed. Even though she knew that she had to handle some things personally, she also knew that she couldn't live without Oulai.
She was really afraid that Oulai would disappear before her eyes if she turned her head even once.
She didn't want to look back and remember all of that at all. Things are good as they are now, just like this is good enough.
"So what are your plans now? After all, we already know about Haik's matter in the game in advance."
Mingmei and the others certainly wanted to spread the news and get rid of Haik, this tumor, even if it was only in the game.
"Didn't you say earlier that it wasn't a good time to look for Yuke Lian? Now is the time."
Feng Li didn't seem to want to take action herself. She leaned back in her wheelchair, half-closed her eyes and said, "You go find him and have him come here. I've already sent people to track down the Zerg who contacted those three information dealers, but it seems they were arrested by the army outside the Outer Star Sea."
Feng Li also didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"As for how much information these Zerg will reveal, I don't know for the time being. But we can also send a secret message to the Third Army Corps."
"Will they believe it?" Mingmei wasn't sure if the message they sent would be intercepted. Even if no one intercepted it, would those people believe such nonsense information?
"Of course not in our name." Feng Li turned to look at Mingmei, and Mingmei didn't quite understand the meaning in her eyes, but she vaguely felt that it might be related to herself.
Guangyu Star Region, Haiyuan Star,
"Why did you suddenly think of letting me and your dad go on a trip?"
Looking at the smiling, gentle middle-aged couple staring at her with puzzled expressions as they asked this question, Chi Yu felt inexplicably guilty.
"Ah, it's just, just because I wanted to. You haven't gone out to play in so many years. I'm working now, and the director even gave me a bonus because the last interview task was very successful."
Chi Yu scratched the back of his head with a smile, looking at the increasingly radiant smiles on his parents' faces because of his words, and the faint feeling of pride, his heart felt a little sour.
"Xiao Yu is really amazing. How about this trip, should we wait until you have time off so our family can go together?"
"No way!"
Chi Yu decisively rejected his mother's suggestion, and the trace of panic that flashed across his face didn't escape their eyes.
"Xiao Yu, are you… hiding something from us?"
"I…"
"We understand."
"Dad, you…" Chi Yu's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that his acting skills were already this bad?
He had only recently contacted that guy Tianma, and after confirming the timeline in this game, Chi Yu couldn't help but feel nervous.
They didn't have any specific tasks after entering the game, only that they were required to play their roles seriously and not let the NPCs discover anything unusual.
There wasn't even a game time limit. He had originally wondered if the games outside were already this ridiculous?
As a result, good heavens, the place where the character he was playing lived was actually the place in reality that was about to be invaded and destroyed by the Zerg on a large scale!
"I know that you are a public figure now, and sometimes reporters and paparazzi drones are very troublesome. You're afraid that your mom and I won't be able to adapt, so you're letting us go out on a trip to relax, and then come back after the hype dies down, right?"
When he was already flustered and didn't know what to say next, the couple's considerate words made Chi Yu's heart, which had been hanging high, relax a little.
"Ah, yes, after the previous interview, my workload and exposure have increased, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, and I'm also worried about you…"
Chi Yu said, following his father's words, but his parents shook their heads again.
"It's okay, we're fine. It's Xiao Yu who's in his rising period of his career, work hard, you'll need money in many places! Besides, your mom and I are still young, if we go out for a trip, what about our jobs?"
No matter what the couple said, they didn't seem willing to leave here in the short term. Chi Yu was anxious, and he was about to lose his composure on his face. If they didn't leave here, what would it be like in a few days when the Zerg came?
It wasn't that Chi Yu didn't know anything, it was that he didn't know exactly where the information they had sold in the Outer Star Sea back then was.
However, because of this incident, the fact that one of the most important planets and two or three other planets in a star region were destroyed. Whether it was civilians or the army, the losses were heavy, how could he remain indifferent?
[Chi Yu, the follow-up interview still needs you. How can you ask me for leave at this time?]
The director's earnest words were still in his ears. Even if he couldn't leave, he had to let his parents leave here.
"Dad, Mom… actually, I, I…" Chi Yu opened his mouth, looking at the caring gazes of the couple looking at him, his heart became even more determined to send them away, but what reason could he give them to leave?
