Something bad happened? Qu Jianlei frowned, is it your business or mine?
Looking at the small lake on the storm screen, he pondered for a moment and said, "Well, captain of the guard, please tell me."
"Tsk, it's not appropriate to say that on the watch," Heltmann sighed, "Should I go find you?"
"Okay," Qu Jianlei hung up the communication and frowned again: Isn't this guy using a confidential line?
So, the so-called inappropriateness is not about fear of leaks, but... it's hard to talk about it?
The captain of the guard came very quickly. Before Qu Jianlei had finished his meal, he came to the entrance of the cafeteria.
After waiting for Qu Jianlei, the two came to a secluded place.
The captain of the guard spoke in a deep voice, "The information you provided is indeed good. Cress and Arnett have indeed joined forces..."
Then he gave a general overview of what happened at the joint meeting, emphasizing the role of the planet chief and the fifth-in-command.
"If it weren't for your news, it would definitely be too late to contact Ke Zhenshan right now."
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "As long as the news is useful, why would you say something bad is going on?"
"The boss wants to take away Anette's power to contact the military," the captain of the guard sighed heavily.
After listening to it, Qu Jianlei didn't quite understand.
"Isn't Nietzsche also a member of the military and voted for it? Is the boss's adjustment considered a punishment?"
"Not entirely," the captain of the guard shook his head. He also knew that it was impossible for Panda to know about the grudges of high-level officials, so he explained again.
In short, this business was given to Nietzsche, indeed only temporarily, because it did not make sense.
Therefore, this business will eventually fall into the hands of the fifth-in-command Ke Zhenshan, we just have to wait for him to come back.
The problem facing Arnett is that not only has he lost two major players, he will be overtaken by Ke Zhenshan in the rankings.
This is a very sad thing. You must know that Ke Zhenshan is much younger than him, and he is ranked fifth because of his junior qualifications.
However, if he surpasses Arnett this time, he will always surpass him—unless he makes a mistake in the future.
In particular, the imperial government does not advocate orthodoxy for the elderly. Although there are seniority rankings, young officials will get more opportunities.
This is the boss's reward to Ke Zhenshan. This person is not on the planet, but he has made a small progress out of thin air because of his firm stance.
One can imagine Arnett's despair.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei nodded and did not answer anything - why are you telling me this?
Seeing that he didn't answer, the captain of the guard said after a pause, "We are worried that Anette will take risks..."
"This guy has a bad temper and often uses violence to solve problems."
Qu Jianlei continued to be speechless. He was actually quite curious: Could it be that Kress would be willing to admit defeat?
But then I thought about it. The third leader took the initiative to attack this time. Even if things didn't work out, the ranking did not change.
But Anette is different. He steals a chicken but loses a handful of rice. It's strange to be able to balance his mind.
Anyway, no matter what the captain of the guard said, he just listened and would never express his position easily.
After Heltmann finished speaking, he did not continue, but looked at the other party helplessly.
The two stared at each other for a while, neither of them speaking.
Qu Jianlei thought of the storm he had obtained cheaply, and finally sighed, "You mean 'us'?"
"Yes," the captain of the guard nodded and replied solemnly, "In addition to my boss, the boss...all think he is very dangerous."
Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched when he heard this, "The first and second in command unite... what can a mere fourth in command do?"
Heltmann shook his head, "It's impossible to unite, and the boss thinks that Arnett doesn't dare to touch him..."
The boss indeed thinks so and has this confidence. After all, he is responsible for managing a planet.
If something happens to him while he is in office, it will be many times more serious than if something happens to him as a deputy.
Not to mention Anette, not even Kushnir dared to attack him.
Qu Jianlei also agreed with this. In terms of Blue Star, this is a high official in the border area, and his deputy position is really incomparable.
What's interesting is that the eldest brother thinks he has no problem, but the second eldest brother, Hoyle, is in greater danger.
He and Hoyle had been at odds for a long time, and there was no way they would join forces to deal with the fourth child just because of a little suspicion.
Seriously, the boss thought that the second child might be in trouble, so he asked someone to remind him.
Having said this, the captain of the guard gave a wry smile, "...he is just worried about attracting suspicion. After all, he and Anette are in the same group."
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Yes, it's not impossible for this joint meeting to be regarded as an act."
No matter what the other party says, he will not take the initiative to bring up other topics.
"I knew you were a sensible person!" The captain of the guard gave a thumbs up, then sighed, "So my boss is in danger."
Hoyle is dangerous, what does it have to do with me? Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, with no expression on his face.
Heltmann looked at him speechlessly, waited for half a minute, and then sighed helplessly.
"My boss feels that it's not a good idea to just defend. He wants to take the initiative, but others know who he can use."
"Stop it," Qu Jianlei waved his hand quickly, his expression a little ugly.
"I'm not interested at all in what you're talking about now...it's just a lie!"
"I don't mean to trick you," the captain of the guard also shook his head.
He didn't know how to say this at first, but the other party's rejection gave him courage.
"I heard that you are more interested in whirlpools... I can make the decision to give you one."
The corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched, and then he smiled bitterly, "To deal with Anette... this is the rhythm that will make me run away!"
He shook his head repeatedly, "Sorry, I really can't help with this."
It's not that he doesn't feel moved, the key is that if he really wants to take action, the pigtail will be in the opponent's hand.
Are people in government trustworthy? He has no confidence in the integrity of these people.
There is an old saying in Blue Star's China that those who serve in politics are selfless - once you become an official, you have to put aside many things that you stick to personally.
Qu Jianlei was even very suspicious that if he touched Arnett with his front foot, Heltmann would betray him with his back foot.
The dignified Planet Four is dead, so why don't we immediately find a scapegoat?
There is no grudge between Qu and Anette, and there are many guards around the fourth commander. It is too difficult to operate if he really wants to.
The captain of the guard looked at him with a strange expression, "Are you worried that I will find someone to silence you?"
If you silence yourself...it will be more difficult, right? Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly.
"My personal resume is clean, why should I add a stain?"
The captain of the guard shook his head and extended a thumb, "First of all, I have no intention of letting you take action. I just asked you to send a message."
"There must be some sort of cleaner in your organization. Let's see if anyone is willing to take this order."
Qu Jianlei realized that the other party was targeting the fictitious "organization" behind him.
In this case, this little braid will be much smaller.
If the captain of the guard really wants to plot against him, he can even push it forward and pretend not to know anything.
However, he still shook his head, "Sorry, the water is too muddy and I don't want to get involved at all."
"Second," the captain of the guard stretched out his index finger and spoke to himself.
"I don't mean to ask you to deal with Anette. I just want to ask...how much does it cost to kill a Supreme?"
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he was immediately stunned. It took him a long time to tentatively say, "You mean, kill that person?"
"That's right," the captain of the guard nodded and spoke seriously, "How many connections can the Supreme from the garbage star have?"
Qu Jianlei's expression was a bit strange, and it took him a long time to speak, "You really think highly of us."
"This is also the best protection for you," the captain of the guard said calmly.
"Think about it, the organization behind you can kill the Supreme Being, and we want to do harm to you...do we have the guts?"
Qu Jianlei felt as if he had a mirror in his mind. He laughed dryly and asked with a strange expression.
"If I don't agree, are you planning to leak the information? Where did you get the information?"
"Absolutely not," the captain of the guard shook his head simply, and then spoke seriously.
"Even if you don't agree, I don't dare to threaten you casually. Please believe in my sincerity."
The sincerity of the government? Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, he really hadn't considered this factor.
Kushnir is his real enemy and is looking for him in the Starfield.
If there was a chance to kill this guy, he would never hesitate, especially... now someone was paying him to kill him.
The reason why he said that just now was simply to show that he was "a little afraid" of being willing to help spread the word.
"Don't tell me sincerity, this man is from the military... To be honest, he is more sensitive than Arnett."
"It's not what you think," Heltmann shook his head and gave him another piece of information, "He belongs to the Second Armed Forces."
In other words, Kushnir now belongs to the reserve force and is not an active-duty officer.
Reserve duty and active duty may not sound much different, but they are actually quite different.
Murdering an active-duty officer is close to treason. For a reserve officer... it is not much more serious than killing an ordinary person.
Especially the captain of the guard made it clear that Kushnir was from a junk planet and it was almost impossible for anyone to stand up for him.
However, Qu Jianlei still shook his head, "Killing is the best, I can't afford the consequences."
The Supreme has a series of privileges, including the empire's protection of the Supreme's right to life.
Killing the Supreme Being without authorization is a serious crime. Although ordinary people cannot kill the Supreme Being, what if it is... the Supreme Being whose life is in danger?
Most people will not commit this crime, but it is clearly stipulated in the relevant laws.
Heltmann rolled his eyes at him and said, "The crime is established, but have you ever thought about it..."
"If the Supreme Being who was killed was in a normal state, how many people would have the courage to investigate this matter?"
"Don't fool me!" Qu Jianlei shook his head.
From the other party's words, he sensed that the empire was disordered on some levels - indeed, strength was king.
But he still didn't understand a little, "How did that person provoke you?"
"So that you are going to take such a big risk and do it at any cost?"
