Zong Ruoan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Where are your warplanes?"
"Parked at the designated location at the interstellar terminal." Xia Chujian spread her hands frankly and said, "Because this is also our on-board operation project, and it's graded. It's about seeing who can fly across the Asteroid Belt first and reach the interstellar terminal of Cangge Star."
Quan Caiwei clapped her hands and said, "Then Chujian, you can win this round by a large margin!"
Xia Chujian also said happily, "Thank you for your kind words! It really was much earlier! The instructor at the Flight Training Base said it would take about eleven days, or at least ten days. But we only took twelve hours to get here. I still want to ask the instructor if there are any extra points!"
She looked like she was overjoyed with her results, without any concealment, and constantly emphasized that she only spent twelve hours.
She was even worried that others would forget, and didn't think about hiding anything at all.
With her attitude, Zong Ruoan couldn't see any problems.
Zong Ruoan asked again, "Do your warplanes have surveillance? Does it show anything?"
Xia Chujian said seriously, "Yes, but I didn't look. I almost got into a fight as soon as I arrived at the station, where would I have time to look at the surveillance? Besides, I can't look at the surveillance now. If there's a problem, and I tamper with the surveillance now, I won't be able to explain it when our instructor comes."
Of course, she had looked at it, and only dared to say that because she knew there was nothing in the surveillance.
She actually didn't know if there were any experts who could restore the surveillance content, then she would be in big trouble...
Xia Chujian decided that as soon as she left here, she would immediately find Meng Guanghui to explain the matter clearly and let him clean up the mess for her.
It was also a good opportunity to test whether he had left that strange Miniature Planet.
Zong Ruoan asked Xia Chujian several questions, and she answered them all flawlessly.
He was a little disappointed.
He thought he could dig up some shocking inside story, but even Xia Chujian herself was confused.
He pondered for a long time, then took another sip of Black Coffee, and turned to look at Quan Yuxun, saying, "Yuxun, do you have anything to ask?"
No matter how good Quan Yuxun's self-restraint was, he couldn't hold it back at this moment.
But he didn't reveal anything, and still said with a smile, "I'm here to see Young Master Zong. You just arrived at Cangge Star, aren't you going to stay for a few more days?"
Zong Ruoan said with a wry smile, "I only have eight hours in Changliu County, and I have to run to other cities. There are some campaign rallies that I need to attend."
Xia Chujian knew that Zong Ruoan had resigned from the Special Security Bureau, but she didn't know what he was going to do.
Now that she heard that he was going to attend campaign rallies, she realized that he was probably going to participate in the election?
All positions in the Beichen Empire were appointed by the Emperor or the Cabinet, only the Senate needed to be elected.
So, Zong Ruoan was going to run for a seat in the Senate? That was pretty good, Xia Chujian thought it was very suitable for Zong Ruoan.
But she didn't say much, just pretending she didn't hear it.
While Zong Ruoan was talking to Quan Yuxun, Xia Chujian yawned twice without any concealment.
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "Second Lieutenant Xia seems to be sleepy, send her back to rest."
It was almost one thirty in the morning.
Xia Chujian really wanted to go back to sleep.
Zong Ruoan glanced at her and said apologetically, "It's my fault, Chujian, I'll have someone send you back."
Quan Caiwei stood up and said, "No need, I'll take her. Young Master Zong, Big Brother, you can chat slowly."
She took Xia Chujian away from Zong Ruoan's residence.
Xia Chujian got into the car that had brought her here, waved to Quan Caiwei, and said goodbye.
On the way back, she felt that the car was driving a little slow, she didn't know why.
She wanted to ask, but seeing the driver in front sitting upright, she felt bored again.
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head, what's the point of asking?
Just take it as it comes.
She half-closed her eyes and began to doze off.
After an unknown amount of time, the car finally took her to the detached villa where she and her three roommates lived, which was near the gate of the Quan Family Manor.
Although it was indeed a bit far from the core area where Zong Ruoan lived, it shouldn't have taken half an hour! Xia Chujian was in a bad mood, but she didn't lose her temper at the driver. She got out of the car with a calm expression, and didn't forget to thank the driver.
They're all bottom-rung people, why hurt each other?
Xia Chujian knew there must be a reason he was driving so slowly, and he couldn't make the decision himself, so she didn't take it out on him.
The driver didn't expect Xia Chujian to not be angry at all. He couldn't help but look back at her, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't speak. However, his eyes glanced at a spot near the villa, then he nodded at Xia Chujian before driving away.
Xia Chujian's heart stirred.
She narrowed her eyes and turned to walk towards the villa, the corner of her eye catching the spot the driver had looked at.
It was an open space near the villa, and a car was parked there.
The car was actually parked very discreetly, and it was in a shaded area.
If it hadn't been for that last glance from the driver, Xia Chujian wouldn't have noticed that a car could be parked there.
She yawned again.
At this moment, a person came around from the other side of the car.
He leaned against the hood of the car, smiling, and said, "Yuanbao, how about a chat?"
The corner of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched.
It was that damned Quan Yuxun...
She pretended to be startled, turned to look in the direction of the car, and said, "Chief Quan Da, who are you calling?"
Quan Yuxun smiled slightly and walked out of the shadows under the tree.
Coming to Xia Chujian's side, he changed his address and said with refined elegance, "Second Lieutenant Xia, where did you find the connections to get you sent to the Military's Flight Training Base for training?"
This was actually the biggest loophole in Xia Chujian's words.
Quan Caiwei didn't notice because she didn't understand this aspect of things.
But Zong Ruoan and Quan Yuxun had both noticed.
Zong Ruoan didn't get to the bottom of it in front of Quan Yuxun and Quan Caiwei.
Quan Yuxun also didn't get to the bottom of it in front of Zong Ruoan and Quan Caiwei.
But after coming out, they each relied on their own abilities.
Xia Chujian's last bit of wishful thinking disappeared. She was silent for a while, then said with particular confidence, "I don't want to tell you."
Quan Yuxun: "..."
He was almost rendered speechless by Xia Chujian's words.
Even if Xia Chujian had told the most absurd lie, he would have had a way to pry open her mouth and get the whole truth.
But Xia Chujian directly said, "I don't want to tell you," so what could he do? Really break with her and force a confession from her? Of course, that was impossible...
Sure enough, the greatest weapon in interpersonal relationships is sincerity! Quan Yuxun smiled sincerely, and without beating around the bush, said, "Huo Yushen let you go, right? You're a Special Security Bureau employee. The Special Security Bureau arranges for spies to go to the Military's various training bases every year. This year, are you the spy at the Kanli Star Flight Training Base?"
Although not right, it wasn't far off.
Xia Chujian understood that Quan Yuxun knew she had joined the Special Security Bureau and would definitely think along these lines.
Therefore, to prevent saying too much and making mistakes, she directly chose to refuse to answer.
She knew that with Quan Yuxun's abilities and habitual thinking, he would definitely associate it with this.
Xia Chujian thought, it was indeed Huo Yushen who arranged for her to participate in the training, but Huo Yushen never asked her to be a spy.
She was the one who actively wanted to snitch!
Quan Yuxun wouldn't be able to guess that, would he...
Xia Chujian's aura changed instantly, and with a detached and aloof posture, she said, "Since Chief Quan Da knows, why ask?"
Quan Yuxun narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "...I don't seem so sure anymore. Inspector Huo is wise and capable, and knows how to delegate. How could he let someone like you be a spy?"
That hateful look really made his hands itch.
Xia Chujian smiled vaguely and mysteriously, saying, "...Guess?"
Quan Yuxun: "!!!"
What the hell, you guess! I haven't felt this difficult to deal with in years!
This Xia Chujian is really too slippery to get a hold of...
So from this perspective, it seems that it is not impossible to let Xia Chujian be a spy.
Because no one would associate her with the image of a Special Security Bureau spy.
She is too outstanding and too capable of causing trouble!
So basically no one would think that such a radiant person would be a spy?
Quan Yuxun had just left Zong Ruoan and received a report about Xia Chujian's training at the Kanli Star Flight Training Base.
It listed Xia Chujian's various deeds in detail, including but not limited to, breaking records and bailing out on the first day she got on the warplane.
She wiped out bandits and ended up commanding one hundred and fifty students, taking down the entire Rebels' base camp. This time, their class of one hundred and fifty-one students will jointly receive the Collective Second Class Merit!
Then, she stood up for her dead comrades and crippled the hands of a young noblewoman.
And now, she led three roommates and flew across the Asteroid Belt in just twelve hours! This is another record!
Quan Yuxun didn't believe Xia Chujian's nonsense at all.
Saying that the Mechanical Intelligence flew for twelve hours to reach the destination...
Nor did he believe that she didn't check the warplane's surveillance.
She dared to let the Instructor check, proving that she knew nothing was recorded in the surveillance.
So what exactly happened in these twelve hours? Quan Yuxun felt that the other three roommates were probably really asleep.
This is easy to confirm.
And how to trick Xia Chujian? Quan Yuxun narrowed his eyes, his smile even more amiable, and he said, "Do you know how important your achievement this time is?"
Xia Chujian nodded repeatedly, looking proud, and said, "I know! Shortening the previous record of nine days and ten hours to twelve hours! I can be sure that my record will not be broken by anyone in the next thousand years!"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Was that what he meant?
Quan Yuxun was about to speak again when Xia Chujian suddenly asked, "Chief Quan Da, about the bullets... We poor families don't have it easy... Can I tell others in the future that Quan's Mining also provided me with bullets to practice Gunmanship?"
Quan Yuxun nodded subconsciously: "No problem, our Quan's Mining also has bullet production lines. Although it is not as large as Zong Military Industries, it is more than enough to supply our own people."
Xia Chujian immediately sighed in her heart, compared to Quan Yuxun, Zong Ruoan really doesn't know how to talk...
Both are supplying bullets, Zong Ruoan directly said that his family has funded many poor people, so giving Xia Chujian is also reasonable.
And Quan Yuxun said that he was supplying his own people.
Both are doing good deeds, Zong Ruoan's condescending and unconscious temperament will make him not get any credit for doing good deeds.
Quan Yuxun can say this thing in a way that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Anyone with a weaker mind would be crying their eyes out right now, willing to die for a confidant.
This is the first one.
The second one will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
