Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1767 The Person Behind the Scenes (First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Seeing Zong Ruoning's relieved tears and her aunt Su Shuangluo, who was calm and composed and had clearly returned to normal, all of this was because of the return of one person.

Thirty years of unwavering waiting, thirty years of silent dedication.

We journeyed together, supporting each other through thick and thin. It wasn't a parting of ways, but a deep and inseparable bond, shaping each other like water and milk, sharing the same bed in life and the same coffin in death...

For the first time ever, Su Buyu was actually looking forward to this kind of relationship with another person, to the point of knowing and loving each other to this extent.

Su Buyan was simply happy for her cousin Zong Ruoning.

Because over the years, only he knew how much Zong Ruoning had suffered.

Everyone thought he was the apple of Old Master Zong's eye, and like Quan Yuxun, the first in line to inherit the Zong family title, hoping to pass it on to the next generation.

In fact, he was taken to Su Shuangluo's side when he was seven or eight years old, and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of his mother, who was actually mentally ill.

Only those who have personally cared for mental patients for many years can truly understand the extent of his mental stress.

Fortunately, all this is over.

Moreover, judging from Su Shuangluo's condition, her mental illness was cured without medication as soon as Zong Weiping returned.

Mental illnesses truly require mental remedies.

Huo Yushen's eyes were fixed only on the gate.

Upon seeing Xia Yuanfang emerge alone, Huo Yushen quickened his pace, stopped beside her, and asked softly, "Aunt Xia, where is Chujian?"

Xia Yuanfang's attitude towards Huo Yushen has always been unusually good.

She didn't hide anything from him, and lowered her voice to say, "At first, we met inside. He said he had something to ask Mr. Zong."

Huo Yushen frowned and said, "Zong Weiping just returned from that kind of place, and his body is so weak. Are you sure you want to ask now?"

Is the question she's about to ask important?

Xia Yuanfang said, "Even Su Shuangluo agreed, so it must be a very important issue, right?"

……

Inside the ward, Xia Chujian dragged a chair over and sat opposite Zong Weiping.

She was standing while Zong Weiping was sitting, which didn't look good.

It was as if she were looking down on him, judging him.

Once seated, the two should be at eye level before speaking.

Xia Chujian didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Commander Zong, I'd like to ask you two questions."

"First, how exactly did you fall into the 'spatial rift' back then? Was it an accidental fall, or was it intentional?"

"Second, what kind of place was that you went to? Could you describe it in detail? Do you have any evidence to prove that you actually went there?"

Xia Chujian wanted to ask these two questions immediately, not even giving Zong Wei a chance to catch his breath.

Because she wanted to get the most accurate and firsthand information.

What Zong Weiping didn't know was that the wheelchair he was sitting in was actually equipped with a lie detector.

This was modified by Xia Yuanfang.

Nobody knows.

Xia Yuanfang certainly didn't hide it from Xia Chujian; he had told her secretly.

After Xia Chu finished asking the questions, she secretly activated the lie detector on the wheelchair.

Zong Weiping was completely unaware, lost in his memories.

After a while, he said, "The situation at the time was very strange."

"As I led the fleet back to port, just before entering the wormhole, I suddenly saw my wife... Su Shuangluo's figure in my captain's cabin."

"Of course it's not her real body, it's just a scene."

"It was as if a holographic virtual display screen appeared in the air in front of me, allowing her to appear in front of me as if she were a real person."

“I’ve been away from home for a long time and I miss her terribly, but I also know that this is illogical, so I just stand there and watch.”

"But just then, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere in my captain's cabin."

"He was completely wrapped in a long black cloak, which had a hood that covered the man's entire head."

"The man was wearing a black mask and black goggles, so you couldn't tell what he looked like at all."

"I was very surprised."

"Because I am an S-class gene evolver, no one has ever been able to appear in front of me silently."

"Not to mention, that's the captain's cabin of a starship. All kinds of defense equipment and electromagnetic systems are in operation, and the door is closed properly. This person definitely didn't come in from the other side of the door."

“I saw it clearly; he really appeared out of thin air.”

"At the beginning, it seemed to be like that holographic image with my wife in it, ethereal and without substance."

"But soon, he turned his feint into a real shot and fired a shot at me."

"I reacted quickly and dodged the bullet, but because of the dodge, I took a few steps back and bumped right into the holographic image."

Zong Weiping's voice turned bitter: "At that time, my body only slightly touched that holographic image, and I was completely unable to control myself and fell into it."

Xia Chujian nodded and said, "Since you were the only one in the captain's cabin and you suddenly disappeared, how did they determine that you fell into a spatial rift?"

"And what about the cloaked man who shot you?"

Based on Zong Weiping's account, he was probably the only person in the captain's cabin at the time.

Why did some people immediately conclude that he had fallen into a spatial rift when he suddenly disappeared?
Also, has the person who shot him been discovered?
This is indeed a major point of contention. Zong Weiping shook his head and said, "Once I fell in, I had no idea what was happening outside."

"However, I have two personal guards."

“They would come in and report to me every half hour.”

“The next time they come in and find I’m not here, they’ll definitely look for me everywhere.”

"If they can't find me, and there are abnormal spatial magnetic field fluctuations in the captain's cabin that have been detected by the monitoring system, they can conclude that it's possible I fell into a spatial rift."

"As for that cloaked man, if you haven't heard of him in the thirty years I've been missing, he's probably not been discovered."

Xia Chujian was indeed unaware of this.

She frowned and said, "But the information we have is that your disappearance is related to your younger brother Zong Weiding and his wife."

"They also confessed that they orchestrated the fall of you and your fleet into the spatial rift in order to seize the family inheritance rights."

Zong Weiping was stunned: "Huh?! My brother Weiding?! The entire fleet?! Really? Is this true?!"

Xia Chujian said, "Of course it's true."

"This matter was revealed in public at the time."

"Your brother and sister-in-law confessed themselves."

"Was that man in the black cloak sent by your brother?"

Zong Weiping also frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "...Perhaps they have malicious intentions towards me."

"However, I don't think my stupid brother and his stupid wife have the ability to create such a spatial rift."

"Moreover, I did enter the spatial rift alone; my fleet did not go in with me."

Xia Chujian followed his train of thought and said, "Could it be that your brother has colluded with outsiders?"

"Think about it, although he may not have that much ability, he has power, money, and connections."

“Especially his wife, who is the eldest princess of the empire…”

"The Tantai royal family is no pushover."

"After you disappeared, it's possible that they wiped out the entire fleet to cover their tracks, claiming they had also entered a spatial rift."

Zong Weiping sighed and said, "We can't rule out that possibility."

"They cooperated with outsiders and sought help from the Tantai royal family, which allowed them to achieve their goals."

"It's a pity that my men also..."

He took a deep breath and clenched his fist: "I will not let them sacrifice in vain!"

"I will definitely find the person behind this and avenge them!"

Xia Chujian thought to herself, "The person behind the scenes" must be Tantai Hongyuan. She has already taken care of him.

As for the man in the black cloak, that's a point of suspicion.

Unfortunately, Tantai Hongyuan had already been beaten to death by her, and the eldest princess and Zong Weiding had also been brought to justice.

Apart from Zong Weiping, no one else really knew what was going on with that man in the black cloak.

Xia Chujian said, "So, you were the only one who entered that... spatial rift?"

"Is there anyone else?"

"Logically speaking, spatial rifts should be located in the starry sky."

"What a coincidence, we just happened to drive into your captain's cabin?"

"That cloaked figure can transform from illusory to real; it seems to be a technique used by advanced remnants of the ancient race..."

Zong Weiping smiled and said, "You're very sharp. No wonder you're already a lieutenant general at such a young age."

Xia Chujian made a "pause" gesture and said apologetically, "Commander Zong, you've praised me too much."

"I was able to be promoted to lieutenant general at such a young age, not because of my brains... but because of my military prowess!"

She first pointed to her head, then raised her arm, showing off her biceps in front of Zong Weiping as if to flaunt them.

Zong Weiping did not actually believe Xia Chujian's words.

In his view, no matter how strong a young girl's fighting skills are, how strong can she be?
Moreover, he could sense that Xia Chujian wasn't even a genetically evolved being...

Therefore, she must be very smart and very good at using surprise tactics on the battlefield!
He didn't expose Xia Chujian, but just smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's all about force, it's all about force!"

His voice was very deep and resonant, without a trace of the indifferent attitude that superiors and the most powerful figures have towards their subordinates.

Xia Chujian knew he had misunderstood, but she didn't press the matter further. Instead, she asked, "And then? What exactly does that... spatial rift you went to look like?"

"What did you eat to get through those thirty years there?"

"Also, I've seen a photo of you from thirty years ago, and you look almost exactly the same as you do now."

"You haven't aged at all..."

Zong Weiping recalled, "It happened suddenly, and I was all alone."

"Therefore, what I've said cannot be corroborated by what others have said."

"Would you like to hear that too?"

　There will be a second update at 12:05 PM!
