Chapter 117 Missing
"Who could it be at this time?"
Xiaopang muttered to himself as he put down his chopsticks and opened his display board, which was showing the situation outside the courtyard gate.
"Hey, it's Admiral Bai Li and Her Excellency Yu Rou."
Jiang Wan was also surprised when he looked at the two people on the display board.
Ever since Yin Yi left, Bai Li had never come to her house, let alone at night. Yu Rou only waited for her at the door in the morning to go to work with her, and never came to see her after returning home in the evening. Why would this couple ring her doorbell at this time?
Although she was a little confused, Jiang Wan did not stop eating. After working all day, she was already hungry, and nothing could stop her from eating.
After Xiaopang opened the gate remotely, he went back to feeding the animals. The man and the robot were moving in surprisingly consistent steps.
"Wanwan, something bad has happened to Yinyi!"
As soon as Yu Rou entered the door, she anxiously shouted out the reason for her visit.
Jiang Wan's hand that was picking up the food stopped in the air, and he turned his head to look in surprise at the solemn-looking couple at the door.
......
"This is the news I just received today. The military is still sending people to investigate their whereabouts."
Bai Li told Jiang Wan the news he had just received today with a serious expression. He raised his eyes and looked worriedly at Jiang Wan, who was sitting on the sofa and was always very calm.
"Late night."
Yu Rou sat next to Jiang Wan, and worriedly put her arm around her shoulders to comfort her, "Xiao Yi will be fine. Once the military finds out where he is, they will definitely send someone to rescue him."
"Why did their warship suddenly explode?"
To their surprise, Jiang Wan did not panic when he heard the news of Yin Yi's disappearance. Instead, he immediately pointed out the strangeness of Yin Yi's disappearance.
Originally, Yin Yi went to the border this time to intimidate the Mifa Empire. After all, it was Yin Yi who led the army to defeat the Mifa Empire ten years ago, leaving a deep shadow in the minds of the people of the Mifa Empire.
This time, the Mingxi Empire did not intend to start a war with the Mifa Empire again in such a short time, so it decided to send Yin Yi over at the beginning.
However, what was unexpected was that the Mifa Empire did not seem to have any intention of starting a war. It only stationed troops on the border and trained every day. After Yin Yi arrived at the border, there was no provocative behavior.
But they just refused to withdraw their troops.
The Mifa Empire did not withdraw its troops, so Yin Yi naturally could not withdraw either, and the two sides just kept wasting time on the border.
Until a few days ago, the Mifa Empire suddenly withdrew its troops for unknown reasons. Yin Yi guarded the border for a few more days and made sure that the Mifa Empire was really withdrawing its troops and it was not a smoke screen. Only then did he plan to return to the Imperial Star with his troops.
However, on the third day after they set out, which is today, the warship that Yin Yi was on suddenly exploded for some unknown reason.
The energy wave generated by the warship's self-detonation caused space distortion, which sucked in Yin Yi and the others who were escaping from the warship. No matter how other warships called them, they could not contact them, and the detector could not display the coordinates of Yin Yi and the others.
All the people on the warship disappeared without a trace right under their noses.
When the news reached Emperor Star, the top military officials were shocked and they immediately sent people to search for the missing persons and investigate the cause of the warship's self-explosion.
“The military is still investigating, and we don’t know the exact situation yet. According to reports from other warships, the warship suddenly lost contact with them before it exploded, and they only saw Yin Yi and his men leaving the warship in a mecha.
But the power of the warship's self-detonation was too great, and they didn't have enough time to leave the explosion range, so..."
Bai Li didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was clear.
Jiang Wan looked up at Bai Li and said, "Has your warship ever experienced this before? It exploded for no apparent reason?"
"of course not."
Bai Li quickly spoke up, "Every warship is rigorously tested after it is produced. It is impossible for such a situation to occur."
"So it's man-made?"
"this......"
Bai Li was silent for a while before he raised his gloomy face. "Although the results have not yet been investigated, my father and I have similar ideas to yours. According to the reports from other warships, Yin Yi and his crew seemed to be in an unstable state when they were driving the mecha away. That's why they were unable to leave the warship's self-destruction range in time and were sucked into the vortex."
"Unstable state?"
"Yes, that's just what they said in a more subtle way. Father later asked a few people privately, and they all said that they saw the mechas that came out were wobbling, and it seemed that the people driving the mechas were a little confused, and also..."
"What else?"
Seeing that Bai Li was not clear about the details, Jiang Wan immediately asked.
Bai Li paused for a moment before speaking: "Originally I shouldn't have told you about this, but since it concerns Xiaoyi, I'll tell you about it. Just listen to it, but don't tell anyone."
After getting Jiang Wan and the other two's assurance, Bai Li said the following words: "There is a lieutenant on the warship closest to Xiaoyi's warship. He is Langqi's cousin. He secretly told us that he saw with his own eyes that there were only a dozen mechas coming out of Xiaoyi's command ship, and the original number of people on the command ship should have been more than 20 people."
Nearly half of the people came out, and these people may be unconscious.
This makes people wonder if something happened on the command ship that resulted in casualties and caused the command ship to explode.
"This happened this morning. At noon, the military received the news and immediately sent people from the domain control department to locate Yin Yi and his mecha, but they found nothing."
Bai Li rubbed his brows tiredly. Ever since he received the news, he went to find his father, and the two of them have been staying in the domain control department until now.
Logically speaking, the domain control department is in charge of the situation in all star fields within the entire Mingxi Empire, so it is impossible for it not to find the location of Yin Yi and the others.
The head of the domain control department speculated that either Yin Yi and his companions did not have time to escape when the warship exploded, and were affected by the aftermath of the explosion and all died.
Or, the energy wave generated by the warship's self-detonation was too large, causing excessive distortion of space, forming a space wormhole and transmitting them to a place outside the empire.
However, these two results are not what they want to see.
Bai Li naturally didn't dare to tell Jiang Wan these two results, for fear that she would worry too much.
Thinking about how Yin Yi came to see him before leaving, and asked him happily to help him prepare for the wedding, he had never seen Xiao Yi so happy before.
However, now that the wedding preparations are almost complete, Xiaoyi has lost contact.
