The empire is a whole composed of several major galaxies. Each large galaxy has countless stars. The number of planets under the stars increases exponentially, not to mention that most planets have more than one satellite.
Because of their quantity, most planets are named by numbers to distinguish them.
Planets with their own names in the empire usually had high-level intelligent creatures originally existing there, which naturally included alien beasts. Although there are many planets that meet such conditions, they can still be found.
Gu Henzhi gave very little information. He originally thought that there would be many planets that met such conditions, but he did not expect that all the roads would be blocked just by the existence of intelligent life on the planet.
Although he didn't know what Gu Henzhi's mission was specifically, the information he found didn't seem to be of much use.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't the commander take back his authority when he gets angry?
The guy on the other side of the light screen was thinking silently.
"Don't tell anyone else about the matter I asked you to check today. Remember to clear the inquiry records later."
"Understood." The person opposite nodded.
The commander didn't seem to have any special behavior, but his familiarity with each other allowed him to clearly feel that from the time the other party found him at night until now, the commander was obviously in a very bad mood. Oh, no, to be precise, things seem to have gotten a little worse since he brought the news.
Just when he was thinking about whether he needed to run away first after finishing his work, Gu Henzhi's voice came to his ears again: "How are things going on over there on the main star?"
This voice sounded a little careless, but it made the person opposite get excited.
"you mean……"
Before he finished speaking, he instantly realized what Gu Henzhi was asking, and then spoke with hesitation in his voice: "Because you have been away from the command position for a long time and have temporarily handed over the affairs to a few of us. Such changes will always attract some people's attention. But these are normal, just..."
"What?" Gu Henzhi probably understood what might happen.
"During the meeting this morning, someone proposed to select a candidate who could temporarily act as the supreme commander to deal with emergencies. It seems that there are still some people who responded."
The empire is now relatively stable both inside and outside the empire. Apart from the harassment from alien beasts, at least there are no major political conflicts. Of course, this is only what appears on the surface.
Only Gu Henzhi understood how bumpy it was for him, the heir to the empire, to become the supreme commander.
Contrary to what some people imagined, his status as the heir to the empire did not bring him any help but an obstacle on this path.
To this day, some people are very dissatisfied with him occupying this important position as a member of the royal family, and want him to give up this position. It's just that I can't explain it clearly due to various reasons.
But now, his temporary absence will gradually magnify and reveal the thoughts of these people.
If not handled well, it may be a problem.
However, he never does anything he is not sure about.
"Well, I understand."
Gu Henzhi's voice was as calm as ever.
that's all?
The person opposite blinked, and finally chose not to get into trouble with him. When the other person was in a bad mood, it was better for him to say less and make fewer mistakes.
After hanging up the communication with the other party, Gu Henzhi looked out the window again.
The deep starry sky seemed to shine into his eyes instantly, and at that moment, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
He had already pretty much handled the matters on the main star before leaving, and had already made plans for possible situations. From this point of view, there was nothing to worry about.
However, the news he just received broke his previous speculation that Mianmian might come from a remote planet.
If the information in the database is correct, then all his previous guesses will be overturned.
Judging from what Shen Mian said and how she behaved, she probably wasn't lying to herself.
A lie always needs countless lies to cover up, and the other person probably is not someone who has the patience for it.
So what went wrong?
If she was not from the empire, what was the vague sense of familiarity that her way of thinking and behavior brought to him during the second round of testing?
In his impression, there was absolutely no such special existence.
And now she... I don’t know what’s going on with her.
Gu Henzhi, who didn't notice that his thoughts had taken a quick turn, turned his gaze away from the outside. Even though the night was getting darker, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
…
And the police station on the other side.
Because Qiao Jiaying refused to call her mother immediately, and it was easy for people to have random thoughts just sitting there, Shen Mian simply found a book with her and read through it.
When Yin Jinchuan and Wei Duo came back from outside, they didn't have a rest room yet. What they saw through the glass was Shen Mian, who was flipping through a book sleepily, with his head about to fall asleep little by little. The girl sitting next to her spread out the book in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on one spot, and her attention did not seem to be focused on the book in front of her.
This scene clearly shows two people who have no interest in reading but insist on studying seriously.
"Ahem!"
Wei Duo coughed twice and reminded the people inside.
Qiao Jiaying, who was thinking about something, was so frightened by the sudden sound that he almost jumped up from his seat.
Shen Mian opened her eyes sleepily and saw the two people she was waiting for.
There was no way, as usual, she was almost asleep at this time.
"Miss Shen." Yin Jinchuan nodded to Shen Mian, then looked at the girl next to him: "You should be Miss Qiao."
Qiao Jiaying nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
But that's normal. Not everyone can bear Yin Jinchuan's cold face.
"This is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. His surname is Yin. You can tell him if you have anything to say." Shen Mian noticed Qiao Jiaying tugging on her sleeve and introduced her.
Qiao Jiaying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the person on the other side was the person they had been waiting for.
When Yin Jinchuan and the others were taking her away to take notes, she looked back at Shen Mian, who was still sitting there without moving. She saw the other party waving her hand and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
In order to prevent the girl from getting nervous, Wei Duo also wanted to accompany her.
However, before she left, she deliberately approached Shen Mian: "Tell me what you did to this girl? Why do I feel like her eyes are glued to you?" After saying that, Shen Mian looked like a "Scumbag" look.
"What can I do?" Shen Mian rolled her eyes: "If you don't go home, I think you won't come back!"
That tone made Wei Duo look stunned... Tsk... How did this role suddenly get reversed?
I was about to finish writing when my computer suddenly crashed. I was so overwhelmed... My monthly ticket was gone again...
