After a brief silence, Gong Shuxu was the first to ask, "Why is Wei Jiangqi so willingly staying in the Confederation's prison?"
"He had numerous opportunities to escape before but chose not to; why does he now want to flee?"
Chen Jixian kept his eyelids drooped and said nothing. Chen Gu thought for a moment, speculating. Maybe he needed to find something in prison, or perhaps he was using the Confederation's prison as a form of protection, hiding from some powerful enemies. "In any case," he said, "let's first head to the Poshan secret prison and see for ourselves. Speculating here could lead us completely astray."
Just twenty minutes later, a spaceship lifted off from the base. After accelerating to escape the planet's atmosphere, it then engaged its main engines and shot into the Star Sea at maximum speed.
