Xia Chujian, however, was in a great mood, determined to avenge herself and her roommate. She continued, "Inspector Huo, I want to report that the Deputy Chief Instructor Zhuo Wangying of the Flying Base on Kanli Star slandered us as fake pilots, disguised as enemy aircraft, leading the Cangge Star Interstellar Terminal to lock onto us with Fire Control Radar and activate the high-altitude Ion Beam Cannon!"
"Chief, I almost didn't get to see you!"
"This Zhuo Wangying's intelligence was ridiculously wrong when he was fighting the Rebels over there! He almost caused our entire army to be wiped out! I'm formally reporting him for suspected collusion with the enemy!"
Xia Chujian's tone was very aggrieved, with a hint of stubbornness. If she could shed a few tears, her expression would be even more convincing, but she tried several times without success.
Huo Yushen glanced at her and frowned, "Speak properly."
Xia Chujian subconsciously straightened her body.
Huo Yushen asked emphatically, "...Is the report true? Do you have evidence?"
Xia Chujian said, "Yes, the Cangge Star Interstellar Terminal sent a message to our Flying Base to confirm, and he said it himself. We have a recording here."
Huo Yushen nodded, "It's good that you have evidence. Don't worry, I'm here."
Then, he prepared to end the video call, saying, "Go to sleep, I'll take care of it."
Xia Chujian closed the video call, feeling completely unburdened, and fell asleep instantly.
Thus, in the ten hours that Xia Chujian slept, many things happened.
...
Huo Yushen ended the video call with Xia Chujian and immediately summoned Jiang Yuanshu, the Director of the Audit and Discipline Department of the Special Security Bureau, and issued orders: "First, go to the Flying Base on Kanli Star and take Zhuo Wangying away for investigation. At the same time, seal the Seventh Material Warehouse of the base."
Jiang Yuanshu stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Marshal Huo!"
"Second, have your subordinates go to the Interstellar Terminal of Changliu County on Cangge Star and seal four Warplanes from the Flight Training Base on Kanli Star. They are a Ghost-Class Starry Sky Fighter and three Thunder-Class Starry Sky Fighters. No one is allowed to touch them, inside or out."
"Third, have your subordinates find the Interstellar Terminal of Changliu County on Cangge Star and obtain the original audio of the recording of the conversation with Zhuo Wangying, the Deputy Chief Instructor. Make three backup copies."
"Finally, at the Flying Base on Kanli Star, investigate the source of the base's Rebel intelligence."
"See if Zhuo Wangying is suspected of colluding with the enemy. You are the Director of the Audit and Discipline Department, this is your responsibility."
Jiang Yuanshu understood Huo Yushen's meaning and immediately went down to arrange the tasks.
"Chen Yanjun, take people to the Interstellar Terminal of Changliu County on Cangge Star and seal off the four Starry Sky Fighters parked at the designated location in the Terminal."
"These four Starry Sky Fighters belong to the Flight Training Base on Kanli Star, namely a Ghost-Class Starry Sky Fighter and three Thunder-Class Starry Sky Fighters. They must be strictly sealed from the inside out, and no one is allowed to touch any part of them."
"Xu Shan, take people to the Interstellar Terminal of Changliu County on Cangge Star and obtain the original audio of their call recording with Zhuo Wangying, the Deputy Chief Instructor of the Flying Base on Kanli Star, and make three backup copies at the same time."
"The rest of you, follow me immediately to the Flight Training Base outside Galuo City on Kanli Star!"
Jiang Yuanshu took her people on the Bat-style Fighter Jet that Huo Yushen lent her, which could perform space jumps, and arrived at the Flight Training Base outside Galuo City on Kanli Star in just half an hour.
She led a group of subordinates wearing the uniforms of the Audit and Discipline Department of the Special Security Bureau and arrived at Zhuo Wangying's office with swift and decisive actions.
"Are you Zhuo Wangying?" Jiang Yuanshu asked with her hands behind her back, watching her subordinates step forward to verify Zhuo Wangying's identity.
Zhuo Wangying's heart sank, and he frowned, "Who are you? Do you know what this place is?! How can you break in without notice?"
Jiang Yuanshu smiled faintly and said, "I break into any place on my own. Of course, except for His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom. Is this His Majesty the Emperor's bedroom?"
The color drained from Zhuo Wangying's face, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He trembled and said, "You... who exactly are you?"
"You're still asking who I am? Can't you recognize our uniforms?" Jiang Yuanshu pointed to the armband on her military uniform.
It was the unique icon of the Special Security Bureau, a Divine Sword descending from the sky, cutting through the darkness.
Zhuo Wangying looked at it several times before finding his focus.
"...The... Special Security Bureau?!" He collapsed into his seat, unable to even lift his head.
Jiang Yuanshu nodded, "Yes, I am Jiang Yuanshu, the Director of the Audit and Discipline Department of the Special Security Bureau. Zhuo Wangying, you provided false information to the Cangge Star Interstellar Terminal, attempting to put our military's elite pilots to death. The evidence is conclusive. At the same time, you are suspected of colluding with the Rebels, providing false intelligence, and almost causing the annihilation of our military's most promising group of pilots. You are now formally arrested and awaiting investigation."
With a wave of her hand, several fierce subordinates stepped forward, handcuffed Zhuo Wangying, dislocated his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide or shouting randomly, and then put a mask on his head, taking him directly from his office.
Zhuo Wangying was actually already in the stage of waiting for review.
It was just that after Pei Zijing reported the situation, there was no way to deal with him immediately.
Because his rank was here, it was necessary to follow the procedure.
At the same time, the Zhuo Family was pulling strings everywhere, finding all sorts of excuses to delay, keeping his matter in a state of limbo.
Zhuo Wangying was now filled with regret.
If he had known that the Special Security Bureau's Audit and Discipline Department would personally intervene, he would have preferred to let Pei Zijing handle him. At most, he would have been transferred from the base and demoted in rank.
But now that he had fallen into the hands of the Special Security Bureau's Audit and Discipline Department, everything was over!
Behind the black mask, Zhuo Wangying was in tears.
Jiang Yuanshu led her people into Zhuo Wangying's office and took him away directly.
This scene was witnessed by the remaining people at the base.
No one dared to step forward to stop Jiang Yuanshu.
Everyone was intimidated by her armband and aura.
As Jiang Yuanshu's Bat-style Fighter Jet entered space warp on its return journey, the news of Zhuo Wangying's arrest by the Special Security Bureau's Audit and Discipline Department quickly spread throughout the upper echelons of the Beichen Empire.
This time, it spread even faster than the Fan Family's affair.
Because the Fan Family was just a small Baron, and the Beichen Empire had three thousand fixed Baron titles.
But the Zhuo Family was a Viscount Family, and the Beichen Empire only had ninety fixed Viscount titles.
Like Barons, unless the original Viscount committed a crime or had their title stripped, no new Viscount could be promoted.
Things were valued for their scarcity, and the Viscount rank was higher, with various fiefdoms and privileges representing a qualitative leap compared to Barons.
Therefore, there were more people eyeing the Viscount position, and their foundations and strength were also deeper.
This time, although Zhuo Wangying was not a direct heir to the Zhuo Family's Viscount title, he was a close cousin of the direct heir.
The relationship was neither distant nor close.
Those who had long coveted the Viscount position were now moving at the first sign of trouble.
No matter what Zhuo Wangying had done, they would pin it on Viscount Zhuo, or the direct heir to the Viscount title.
Strip the title, they had to strip the title!
Therefore, even more people were inquiring about what had happened to Zhuo Wangying.
Huo Yushen's Special Security Bureau was so tightly run that no one could find out any clues.
But the Flight Training Base outside Galuo City on Kanli Star was different.
Various forces were already stationed there, and soon, the news spread like wildfire from the Flight Training Base.
It was said that Zhuo Wangying had secretly aided the Rebels of Kanli Star with false intelligence, intending to wipe out the most promising group of officers in the Interstellar Fleet in the last decade! After this news came out, a message also spread from Cangge Star.
It was said that Zhuo Wangying was abusing his power for personal revenge, jealous of talent, not only refusing to acknowledge the excellent results of his Flight Base trainees, but also slandering them as being impersonated by the enemy, refusing to recognize their identities, and attempting to use a borrowed knife to kill them, getting rid of the most talented group of officers in the Interstellar Fleet! After this statement was released, the open and secret struggles for the Zhuo Family's Viscount position reached a fever pitch.
Soon, this news, through various intentional and unintentional channels, reached the Emperor at the first opportunity.
At this time, only eight hours had passed since Zhuo Wangying was taken away from Kanli Star by Jiang Yuanshu.
When Emperor Tantai Hongyuan found out, he was initially skeptical, until he confirmed it with Nine Doubts Consort Quan Jiuyi, who came from Cangge Star.
Quan Jiuyi said with an angry face: "Your Majesty, you know me, I don't care about anything except eating, drinking, and having fun. Why would I care about how those people fight? As long as Your Majesty is here, I have nothing to worry about."
"But this Zhuo Wangying shouldn't have, shouldn't have used our Cangge Star as a knife!"
"My niece said that at the time, our Cangge Star Interstellar Terminal believed Zhuo Wangying's words and used Fire Control Radar to lock onto the Warplanes of those genius trainees!"
"Just a little bit, just a little bit! Our Cangge Star would have made a big mistake!"
"Fortunately, my niece was alert, and at that time, Grand Princess's eldest son, Zong Ruoan, was also visiting my nephew on Cangge Star, so they stopped them and used other methods to confirm the identities of those trainees! - Otherwise, it would have truly been a case of the close ones grieving and the enemies rejoicing..."
"What's the difference between what Zhuo Wangying did and those Rebels?!"
These words struck Tantai Hongyuan's Dragon's Scale.
Because what he hated the most, the Rebels were secondary, what he hated the most was the internal traitor who colluded with the Rebels, and it was even more unacceptable when this internal traitor was a high-ranking officer in his own Military.
He unhesitatingly summoned Huo Yushen, and asked with a stern face: "What exactly is going on with Zhuo Wangying? Why is it such a big deal?"
Huo Yushen had a look of surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, someone reported it, we are just conducting a routine investigation."
"Report? Who's reporting?"
Huo Yushen's expression remained as cold as an iceberg, and he said without a smile, "The matter is like this."
"We first received a report from a student at that Flight Training Base, saying they suspected the Deputy Chief Instructor of the base, Zhuo Wangying, was colluding with the Rebels, attempting to put them, the students, in a deadly situation."
"Then, during our investigation, we discovered that the Chief Instructor Pei Zijing of the Flight Training Base outside Galuo City, Kanli Star, also reported to the Military's higher-level organization that the intelligence on the Kanli Star Rebels provided by Deputy Chief Instructor Zhuo Wangying had too many errors and omissions, nearly causing the entire Flight Training Base's elite pilots to be wiped out."
"It's exactly the same as the student's report."
This is the second update for today.
