Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1298 The Countess is not alone
"What?" Mei Xiaoxiao was stunned. That slightly lewd, squinty-eyed fat guy?
"You intelligence personnel simply don't understand how powerful a country's intelligence network is!"

"I wonder how skilled the intelligence personnel of these countries are!"

"In the eyes of these people, many of your actions are just like those of a stupid pig!"

"There are four people with rather unusual identities on Route A from the entrance to the underground city to your location!"

"I'm talking about excluding that fat guy."

"I'll give you six months to find them!" Yang Bo said again.

Yang Bo's disguise skills reached the Grandmaster level, so in his eyes, the disguises of these people were a joke.

"Yes, Master!" Mei Xiaoxiao was now completely convinced.

"In addition, there are two suspicious individuals in your newly formed team!" Yang Bo added.

"what!"

"This!" Mei Xiaoxiao was stunned!
Yang Bo discovered some suspicious individuals within Mei Xiaoxiao's group from her memories!
Yang Bo had no idea who these people were!
"Your main task now is to keep an eye on the Grand Duke of Golden Oak."

"Over the years, he has transferred a considerable amount of wealth from the empire."

"Besides, he has someone backing him!"

"So you need to be careful, because the person behind him is likely my mortal enemy!" Yang Bo finally managed to smooth things over.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak is backed by the Countess of Red, and Yang Bo is currently disguised as one of the Countess of Red's people!
Yang Bo is taking precautions now to prevent Mei Xiaoxiao from discovering the truth.

Because by simply keeping an eye on the Grand Duke of Golden Oak, it would be easy to spot the Countess of Red.

Mei Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yang Bo say that!

No wonder the other party knew the true identity of the Grand Duke of Golden Oak; it turns out he had colluded with the other party's mortal enemy.

That way I'll feel better.

"I go first!"

"The rest depends on your performance. If you don't complete the task I assigned you within six months, then there's no need for us to meet again!" Yang Bo said and left.

"damn it!"

"Who on earth is it!" After Yang Bo left, Mei Xiaoxiao was no longer as obedient as before; instead, she was furious and embarrassed.

The reason she acted so obediently in front of Yang Bo was actually to figure out his weaknesses.

Because now we can only rely on the energy potions given by Yang Bo to develop.

Furthermore, to prove one's worth in front of Yang Bo, one must figure out Yang Bo's weaknesses.

This is similar to getting along with your boss; you must figure out your boss's preferences.

Yang Bo left the underground city.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak does not live here.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak lives on Pegasus!
This is the Alliance Capital Star Circle, one of the three major logistics hubs.

Therefore, Tianma Star is exceptionally prosperous, with most of its residents engaged in import and export business, as well as various companies and merchants.

This planet is also dotted with bases, as well as a vast number of underground cities!

The surface of Tianma Star has many warehouses and four huge cargo space elevators.

There are also four massive airports.

Yang Boxian returned to Lin Yue's villa, where Lin Yue was already beaming with joy.

"Third Master!!" Lin Yue rushed over as soon as she saw Yang Bo return.

"Come on, let me take you out for a walk," Yang Bo said, looking at the woman.

This woman flirted with me in the game and offered herself to me.

Now he's acting as a liaison between himself and Li Yong.

Of course, the other party's performance was quite good.

"Mmm." Lin Yue nodded quickly.

Then in the afternoon, Yang Bo accompanied Lin Yue for a stroll around.

In the league, unless there is evidence of a crime, no one will check personal identity information.

Yang Bo did not enter or leave the customs area!

Within the Alliance Capital Star Circle, aside from a few planets and airports that require reservations and identity verification, most other planets and various airports can be freely accessed.

Because some planets are military facilities, while others are intelligence facilities or classified research sites.

That evening, Lin Yue took the initiative, which led to the beginning.

Then Yang Bo took the initiative.

The next day, Lin Yue received a message from Li Yong's middleman, saying that he would be available in two days!
So Yang Bo decided to go to Tianma Star.

Yang Bo took public transportation directly because it did not require a reservation.

Furthermore, even in the interstellar era, there are still real-world currency transactions.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak was, on the surface, just a small merchant, so his residence wasn't particularly luxurious.

The bases on the Pegasus Star Planet come in various shapes and sizes, including pentagonal, circular, oval, and ring-shaped!

From a distance, these bases look like individual buildings.

Some of these buildings are connected by transparent passageways, while others are connected by underground passageways.

The Grand Duke of Golden Oak lives in a mushroom-shaped base.

This base is called the Mushroom Base!

The mushroom base has a diameter of 500 meters at the top and 200 meters at the bottom.

The mushroom-shaped area is like a small park with lots of green plants.

Then the surrounding area is divided into residential buildings and commercial buildings!
The Grand Duke of the Golden Oak lived on top of the mushroom.

Moreover, it's an area close to the outside.

Houses closer to the outside are much more expensive because they have windows facing outwards. Although the view from the windows may not be as beautiful, you can enjoy real sunlight.

Prices are much cheaper in places where there is no sunlight.

Grand Duke Golden Oak also has another company in Mushroom Base. The company mainly imports luxury goods from the Empire, but it's a very small business.

It's just one shop.

After arriving at Tianma Star, Yang Bo went to the mushroom base.

After finding an opportunity to blend in, they arrived at the luxury store.

Yang Bo did not rush to the residence of the Grand Duke of Golden Oak.

They didn't even come to scout the place beforehand, because someone like that would definitely have many accomplices around him!
No one knows better than Yang Bo how much resources a Grand Duke can leverage!

In fact, when Yang Bo arrived at the floor where the Grand Duke of Golden Oak ran his shop...

They discovered a number of suspicious individuals.

Luxury goods store, called Boutique Pavilion!

The store is not very big, only about 200 square meters. The front is the shop and the back is the warehouse.

Yang Bo did not rush into the shop, but observed from the outside.

Yang Bo shook his head when he saw the goods displayed in the shop.

Many of the Empire's luxury goods cannot be exported to the Alliance because the Alliance has very strict environmental protection laws.

Therefore, many animal and plant products simply cannot be sold.

The alliance almost banned the sale of honey because some environmental groups considered it enslavement of honey.

It mainly consists of tea, coffee, and some handicrafts.

The wealthy in the Alliance actually quite like some of the Empire's luxury goods, but they mostly enjoy them elsewhere. The shop has four employees: one manager and three staff members.

And they are all women.

Yang Bo shook his head upon seeing this.

Because in the league, the number of female employees is far less than that of male employees, even in the luxury goods industry.

Both the boss and the customers are afraid that female employees will accuse them of something.

For example, if you are a male customer and you want to buy something from a female shop assistant.

If you ask questions and look around, and then don't buy anything, the female shop assistant might just post your story online.

Then a large group of independent women will criticize these male customers who don't buy anything.

Although there are still female customers, their number is relatively low.

Because the employment rate for women is already low, most women only receive welfare benefits.

The wealthy are mostly men.

Coupled with the abnormal work environment, the female employment rate is even lower. If it weren't for the alliance's policies stipulating the percentage of female employees in each company or industry!
It is likely that the employment rate for women will be even lower.

Because if you hire a female employee, she might end up in jail!
Even if they aren't sent to prison, their reputation will still be ruined.

"Of course, this could very well be something the Grand Duke of Golden Oak did on purpose."

"Because business will be bad!" Of course, Yang Bo guessed that the Grand Duke of Golden Oak might be doing this intentionally.

Yang Bo kept watch in the park outside the store.

After watching for about an hour, I saw the store manager take the takeout from the unmanned robot and then go into the small park.

The takeout packaging features a fruit juice drink, which is relatively expensive because it is a pure, natural, and organic fruit juice.

Yang Bo took advantage of the moment when the other person was about to sit down and released a spiritual seed into them.

The female store manager's name is Liu Qingyu. She is 36 years old, single, and a level E superpower user.

I've been working in this shop for eighteen years, which means I started working here as soon as I turned 18.

The reason Yang Bo didn't go directly to the Grand Duke of Golden Oak is because the latter definitely has experts around him.

Don't forget that the Empire has soul-binding techniques. To evade the Empire's search, you'll definitely need to be proficient in soul-binding techniques.

However, invisibility is not very effective in the face of legislation concerning the soul.

Therefore, Yang Bo did not rush to approach the other party, but instead started from the outside.

Moreover, if the Countess of Red were to contact the Grand Duke of Golden Oak, she would most likely come directly to the shop.

So Yang Bo started by targeting the store's customers.

The store only has a little over two hundred long-term customers, but the number of temporary and short-term customers is much larger, though this is not Yang Bo's main focus.

Yang Bo plans to start his investigation with long-term clients!

Yang Bo had just finished reviewing his long-term clients when he discovered several suspicious individuals!
Yang Bo was also unsure of the identities of these suspicious individuals.

Because of the energy disguise potion, it's still hard to say who these people really are.

After returning to Tianyun Star, Yang Bo went through the safe house to Bart's private laboratory, where he investigated several suspicious individuals he had discovered.

Yang Bo quickly identified a target: a member of the House of Representatives from the Alliance.

This congressman was born into a political family; his mother was the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Furthermore, Yang Bo discovered that this political family has produced female politicians in every generation.

This political family also goes into business, and Yang Bo discovered that every time this political family encounters a crisis, something special happens!

The Pado Star incident is related to a bill passed by the Alliance Council.

Before the Pado Star incident, the Alliance Parliament's House of Representatives passed a bill to cut military spending.

The bill had already been passed by the House of Representatives and was to be put to a vote in the Senate.

And it was at this critical moment that the Pado Planet incident occurred.

Then the proposal was not passed.

This congressman had started proposing to increase military spending several years ago.

Therefore, after the Pado Star incident, the senator's proposal was quickly passed!
Although the politicians in the alliance have no apparent dealings with the military.

However, there are many interests between politicians and the military-industrial complex, and between the military and the military-industrial complex!

Yang Bo's intuition told him that his guess was correct.

Yang Bo had long realized that the Red Earl organization was no ordinary group.

Behind it are political families within the alliance, and it is even very likely that it is a political party within the alliance.

Of course, the probability of it being a political party is relatively small, because there are many contradictions within political parties.

If things go wrong, you could easily be stabbed in the back by your own people.

Therefore, a political dynasty is more likely!
“Lossie Hassen!” Yang Bo looked at the information he found online.

Pelosi is 45 years old and the youngest female member of the House of Representatives.

Losi's mother, Allie Hassen, is the chairwoman of the prominent women's political group, I Am My Own Master.

This group's message is that women should have control over their own bodies, including childbirth, abortion, and even infidelity for love.

This group primarily nominates female candidates.

Ellie Hassen served as Speaker of the House of Representatives for two terms.

He was also once a leader of the Democratic Party!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Pelosi will likely become Speaker of the House and leader of the Democratic Party.

"So this countess title has been passed down from generation to generation!"

"And the Countess does not refer to any one person."

"So it seems that the Countess is a puppet."

"The real power behind the Red Earl organization is the Hassen family." Yang Bo knew this, of course; these politicians were just people pushed into the fray!

Don't be fooled by the fact that women like Losi play the female card; they all change their surnames after getting married.

Moreover, most powerful women in politics are married.

Because they need to rely on the power of their husbands' families!

"Tsk tsk!!" Yang Bo had no intention of continuing the investigation.

Because if we investigate further, we risk alerting the enemy!
Why doesn't Yang Bo dare to check these people's identities within the league?

It's because it's very likely to be marked as a sensitive word.

Privacy means nothing to these political dynasties of the alliance.

These political families are deeply integrated into every corner of the alliance.

Yang Bo placed this clue here as a preparation for the future.

Because the Democratic Party is currently very strong.

At that time, I can completely exchange with other interest groups.

For example, they could use these clues to negotiate with other political parties and gain their recognition of sovereignty over the Second World.

These parties would certainly be willing.

Because the Second World does not involve the interests of the Alliance, and the Alliance also emphasizes democracy and freedom.

Furthermore, the Empire will most likely oppose it, and the Alliance must agree to whatever the Empire opposes!

That's called political correctness!

Furthermore, because of the Grand Duke of Golden Oak, the Democratic Party might be perceived as colluding with foreign powers!
Even the empire is suspicious of the Democratic Party!
"Let's do other things first." Yang Bo prepared to go do other things and put this aside for now.
