Chapter 135 Returning from a Long Absence
After settling the people who came back with Yin Yi, everyone took the hovercraft to Yin Yi's house together.
Jiang Wan had just walked into the courtyard with the others when a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of her. Before she could react, she was hugged by a pair of arms, and at the same time, a familiar voice was heard.
"Wow, Wanwan, you're finally back. I look forward to seeing you every day and every night, hoping that you can come back soon. When Lady Yurou told me today that you would be back today, I didn't believe it. She has lied to me several times. I didn't expect it to be true this time."
The chubby little boy hugged Jiang Wan and cried heart-wrenchingly. If someone who didn’t know heard it, they would think something had happened.
Feeling the gazes from all around, Jiang Wan lowered his head and touched his nose awkwardly, then gently stroked Xiaopang's round head and said, "Okay, Xiaopang, I'm back, be good and don't cry."
Seeing that Xiaopang was still crying, Jiang Wan had to change the subject, "Xiaopang, be good, don't cry anymore, did you make something delicious for me? I can smell the fragrance, it smells so good, I can only drink nutrient solution every day when I am outside these days.
You know, I don't like to drink nutrient solution. Even if I force myself to drink it, I only drink a little bit at most. That's why I have been hungry and thin for such a long time. I didn't drink the nutrient solution when I came back today. I just wanted to come back to eat. Let's go eat quickly, okay?"
When Xiaopang heard that Jiang Wan was hungry, he stopped howling immediately, reached out to wipe away his non-existent tears, turned around, pulled Jiang Wan and walked into the house.
"Then let's go back and eat. I've made you a lot of delicious food. They're all your favorites. I'll make sure you're well fed."
When Xiaopang came like a tornado, Yin Yi and his group stopped and stood aside to watch.
Mu Bai and Lan Ling opened their mouths in surprise when they saw Xiao Pang acting so dramatic. How come they never knew that Xiao Yi's robot butler was so lively?
Yu Rou had been standing at the door waiting when everyone entered the courtyard. When she saw Jiang Wan coming with Xiao Pang, she walked up to her and gave her a big hug.
"Wanwan, you're finally back. How was your journey? Was everything going well?"
"Well, it went well. Look, I'm back safe and sound, right?"
After Jiang Wan let go of Yu Rou, he turned around and said, "Look, there's no injury at all. She's fine."
Yu Rou saw that Jiang Wan was really fine and not injured, and her heart finally settled down.
"I'm glad you're not hurt. You're hungry, aren't you? Let's go eat. Today's meal was made by Xiaopang and I. Guess which one was made by me and which one was made by Xiaopang. If you guess correctly, you'll get a prize."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they came to the dining table. It was not until they sat down to eat that Yu Rou remembered that the purpose of Jiang Wan's going out this time was to save Yin Yi. Now that Wan Wan is back, have Yin Yi and the others come back as well?
Before she could look up, Yin Yi and the others had already sat down around the dining table.
Bai Li felt sour when he saw that his partner's heart and eyes were only on Jiang Wan and he didn't even glance at him.
If Jiang Wan wasn't also a female, he would have suspected that he had owned a grassland without knowing when.
Today, in order to welcome Yin Yi and Jiang Wan back, Xiaopang and Yu Rou worked together to cook a table full of delicious dishes.
Originally, Bai Zhuo and the others were planning to communicate with Yin Yi about the situation while eating, so that they could get to know each other's information. However, after picking up their chopsticks, they were only focused on eating. They didn't even have time to look up, let alone talk.
After they had eaten their fill, everyone rubbed their stomachs, sat down on the sofas in the living room, and began to discuss business.
"Xiao Yi, what happened to you this time? Why did the warship explode?"
As soon as Bai Zhuo sat down, he frowned and asked Yin Yi a question.
He and Bai Liming had investigated secretly several times, but in the morning all the people on their warship were either dead or sucked into the wormhole.
The people on the other warships were all clueless when asked. They only said that there was nothing unusual before the warship exploded. They only saw a dozen people suddenly blast a hole in the warship and rushed out of the hole in mechas. Some of the mechas looked shaky, as if the people operating them were unconscious.
I don’t know if there are more.
No matter how hard Ren Baizhuo and Bai Li investigated, they could not find the cause.
On the military side, Carl repeatedly asked to close the case by saying that the warship exploded due to a malfunction, and determined that Yin Yi and the others would not come back, so he wanted to let his confidant take over Yin Yi's position.
Bai Zhuo resisted the pressure from the House of Parliament and insisted on not agreeing. Just when the House of Parliament was about to issue a mandatory order, the military finally sent back news that Yin Yi and his group had been found and were on their way back to the Imperial Star.
Karl's face immediately fell and he slammed the door and walked out.
When Mu Bai and Lan Ling heard Bai Zhuo's question, they both looked at Yin Yi, especially Mu Bai, who had always been unwilling to believe that this incident was a coincidence.
First it was my second brother, then my third brother.
Once can be considered a coincidence, but twice, it means someone is plotting.
Yin Yi repeated what he had said to Bai Hao and the others on the warship.
"Snapped!"
Upon hearing that someone was planning to assassinate Yin Yi, Bai Zhuo slammed the table in anger.
"Who is so bold as to assassinate a military general? Xiaoyi, did those people reveal any flaws? Do you know who wants to kill you?"
Yin Yi shook his head and still made the same guess.
"All clues point to the Hou family, but I think they are just scapegoats thrown out by the mastermind. The real mastermind should be someone in the military, and he has considerable power."
"The military?"
After hearing Yin Yi's words, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
As one of the most powerful empires in the universe, one can imagine how strong the military force of the Mingxi Empire is.
Although there are only two marshals in the military, Bai Zhuo and Karl, the factions under them are very complicated, with more than a dozen generals alone.
Some are on the side of the elders of the House of Representatives, some are from the imperial royal family, and there are other big families and the like.
In short, if the mastermind behind this is really in the military, it will be very difficult for them to investigate.
"Although the Hou family doesn't have much ability, they at least have a queen. There aren't many people who can use the Hou family as a scapegoat. If we eliminate those who have a good relationship with us, there won't be many left. We can investigate them one by one and find out something."
Mu Bai was not as pessimistic as his uncle. Instead, he felt that it was already a good thing to narrow the scope to the military. In this way, they only needed to do a little screening to narrow the scope greatly.
