This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 77 Prepare to counterattack!

In the room, Professor Wu took out a button-sized metal device and placed it on the table and tapped it gently. The center cracked and the electromagnetic shield opened, covering the two people.

He tapped the table and looked at Li Ming with too many emotions in his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Li Ming did not say anything, but a look of confusion and puzzlement appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect it to be here." Professor Wu said the first sentence with a sense of disappointment: "I thought it didn't exist."

Professor Wu thought Li Ming didn't understand, but Li Ming knew it in his heart, and at the same time he also had a doubt.

Wasn’t the theory of gene purification proposed by Professor Wu? Is there no other evidence to support it?
Could it be that this was a sudden idea he had after waking up from sleep?
"Professor..." Li Ming's face became more and more confused.

"Sit..." He extended his hand and asked Li Ming to sit down, and said leisurely: "Do you know my most famous theory?"

"Gene purification?" Li Ming said tentatively.

"Not bad?" Professor Wu nodded. "It should be a hypothesis. To be more precise, it was a hypothesis before that moment, but it is no longer a hypothesis at this moment."

“Uh…” Li Ming was speechless. Could he be more straightforward? Even for a veteran actor, it would be very troublesome to pretend to be confused.

"The foundation of the theory of gene purification is life forms that have the potential for gene purification." Professor Wu then explained: "However, many people have searched the stars for many years and have not found such life forms, so my theory has also been falsified."

"You mean..." Li Ming showed a sudden realization, "I have this potential?"

"That's right." Professor Wu looked at Li Ming with a fiery look in his eyes. "I have been searching for it for many years, almost in despair, but I never expected that I would find it in the end."

Li Ming's face flickered, and he suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, please do me justice!"

Professor Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Don't worry, no one can touch you with me here."

He pondered, "You just said that Qin Xiao arrested all the city guards who were protecting the members of the Interstellar Review Team."

"Yes, my uncle said that this matter is not that simple. In the past, the internal review of the city guards was not conducted in this way."

Professor Wu chuckled, "Of course it's not simple."

"You accidentally discovered that Xingchuang Company was stealing minerals, which forced Xingchuang Company to make concessions."

"Those greedy dogs, even if they were hurt by the beating, they still wanted to tear off a piece of meat. You are the meat thrown away."

So you know everything... Li Ming was not surprised. Professor Wu had not intended to take action just now, so he was just perfunctorily answering him.

Professor Wu saw what Li Ming meant and laughed, "This matter may seem simple on the surface, but it's actually a little troublesome. I didn't want to get involved."

"Xingchuang Company wants an explanation. It doesn't matter to you. It's easy for me to single you out, but for others..."

Li Ming frowned slightly and hesitated, "Can't the others be saved?"

"Do you want me to save him?" Professor Wu asked back, "I don't want to save him. It will cause a lot of trouble."

"They are all dedicated city guards who have shed blood for Blue Star." Li Ming said in a deep voice. After all, they came here under the banner of saving people. If they gave up after just a few words, Old Wu didn't know what to think.

Professor Wu looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Not bad."

"Actually, that's what I was planning on doing." Professor Wu stood up and said, "If I single you out, the consequences will be huge. Everyone will know what I'm looking for."

"Suddenly showing such protection to an unknown young man will inevitably lead to speculation from all sides, which is not good for you."

Sure enough...it was just a little test from Old Wu.

"What should we do then?" Li Ming asked.

"I've already said that what Xingchuang Company wants is an explanation. We just need to replace the explanation with someone else." Professor Wu said casually, "Qin Xiao is a good candidate."

"Change it to Qin Xiao?" Li Ming thought thoughtfully.

"Okay, there's no rush for this." Professor Wu didn't seem to take it to heart, and said, "I have to find a reasonable excuse to make you my student."

"It's better to go to Capital University of Technology. It's easier to get a recommendation letter for admission, but if you go through my channels..."

"I have a letter of recommendation from Capital University of Technology..." Li Ming couldn't help but speak when he saw Professor Wu's thoughtful look.

"Huh?" Professor Wu looked up at him, a little surprised. "Where are you from?"

"My father spent all his money to buy it."

"Your father has a far-sighted vision," Professor Wu praised.

He knew exactly what those interstellar laboratories and advanced interstellar civilizations looked like.

If they knew that he had discovered a life form with the potential for genetic purification, they would definitely use any means necessary, since this was the first case after all.

Therefore, it would be better for Li Ming to use a reasonable method to get into his sight and be noticed by him.

Now that I have the recommendation letter for admission, the first step has been completed. Although my level 6 potential is still relatively low, it is still not reasonable for him to choose me.

But it's barely acceptable.

"I hope to have time to talk to your father." Professor Wu went on to say, secretly wondering if his father also had the potential for gene purification.

"He is dead."

Professor Wu paused, really surprised, secretly thinking it was a pity, then he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, when you reach the capital planet, it will be your time to soar to the sky and live up to your father's expectations."

"I understand." Li Ming nodded heavily and said hesitantly, "There is one more thing..."

"explain."

"My father left behind some troubles. He used to be a member of the "Xiaolong" team, and is now being cleared out by the "Jin" team. I have also become a target." Li Ming roughly explained their origins.

"Xiao Long? Jin? Someone from the Privy Council? Political assassination?" Professor Wu looked Li Ming up and down, feeling suspicious. Why did he feel like he was being plotted against?

And there was the stolen detector... Professor Wu pondered to himself.

"It's indeed a bit troublesome. If I warn them, they might become even more curious about you."

"In fact, the Silver-Gray Beast riot was caused by those people." Li Ming pondered: "If we use this incident to tell them not to cause trouble on Silver-Gray Star, will it be effective?"

Professor Wu looked at him in astonishment, feeling even more strongly that he was being plotted against.

Everything that is happening now seems to be within this kid's expectations.

Show potential, join the sect, punish Qin Xiao, fight against "Jin", and advance step by step.

"I kind of want to slice you into slices right now." Professor Wu said coldly.

Li Ming smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, that's not the case."

Inexplicably, Professor Wu smiled again: "Forget it, this is good, it saves me from worrying too much."

He was only sure of one thing, that Li Ming had the potential for genetic purification, and that was enough.

He knows very well that if people at the bottom want to climb up, they must seize every opportunity.

"Fang Biao just saw that scene, maybe he can guess something." Professor Wu stroked his chin, "In fact, it would be best to kill him, but after all, he has been with me for many years, and his parents are old acquaintances of mine."

"Forget it..." He thought for a moment and shook his head.

If you really kill me, I will have to think twice before doing it. Li Ming felt a little relieved.

No one wants to be friends with a cruel guy, not Professor Wu, and not Li Ming either.

Professor Wu brought up the matter of Qin Xiao again and said, "I'll make a phone call later and remove Qin Xiao from his position first. I'll say I can't stand it."

"This kind of person may have a lot of dirty deeds behind him. If we investigate for a month or two, we should be able to convict him."

Can Qin Xiao be fired with just a phone call? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. "It's been a while." Li Ming believes in the principle that if you are late, you will have more dreams. If you are late, things will change. If you don't have the ability, you have to endure it. If you have the ability and don't kill the enemy, you are asking for trouble.

Professor Wu frowned slightly. Although he had connections, it was not possible for him to do so. The system had its own set of rules, and even he could not break them by force.

"I have the evidence." Li Ming's words made Professor Wu silent again.

He watched Li Ming open the smart terminal and find Qin Xiao's own file from a pile of files.

"Teacher, look, are these enough?"

Professor Wu looked at it carefully, then raised his head with a strange look on his face: "You weren't watching him when he was doing this, were you?"

It's no wonder he asked this question, because it is too detailed. Every transaction, every contact, and even changes to the Black Hole Network account are recorded in great detail.

There are also matching videos and audios.

"The teacher was joking."

"Since you have prepared everything, all I have to do is give you a gentle push." ​​Professor Wu knew that Li Ming had a secret, so he did not ask any further questions. The relationship between the two was not very good.

"By the way, you are destined not to stay on Silver Ash Star. Find someone you trust to get this information, and go to Secretary General Fan." Professor Wu reminded:

"I have a good relationship with her parents. She has too many concerns. She doesn't know what to do with this information, so she will definitely discuss it with me."

"I understand." Li Ming nodded, then changed his appearance and walked out under the gaze of Professor Wu.

Fang Biao was still waiting outside the door. When he saw the door open, he couldn't help but shiver all over.

The people who were grinning suddenly became alert. When they saw that the person who came out was the one who had just attacked them, they immediately raised their guns.

"Put it down!" Fang Biao shouted, "This is... my friend!"

Everyone looked at each other, but had to put down their guns.

"The professor asked you to come in." Li Ming looked at Fang Biao, a burly man nearly two meters tall who looked like he was about to cry. He asked cautiously, "How...how did you say that?"

"Nothing..." Li Ming smiled slightly, and Fang Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the watchful eyes of the city guards, Li Ming left here, then found a secluded place and dialed Yang Peng's contact record.

"Li Ming?" Yang Peng's voice was very low, and no one knew where it came from.

"Is it convenient to talk?" Li Ming asked.

"Wait a minute..." After a rustling sound, Yang Peng's voice became higher and a little impatient: "Where are you? This matter is really not that simple. The higher-ups are preparing to issue a detention order."

"You haven't even been convicted yet, why issue a detention order?"

After the detention order is issued, a series of measures can be used according to the procedures, including monitoring Li Ming's StarNet account, checking records and positioning.

Li Ming asked calmly, "Uncle Yang, do you believe me?"

Yang Peng seemed very surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't quite believe it. You're hiding a lot of things from me."

Li Ming: “…”

"Then just trust me this time." Li Ming was speechless and said, "You should have a Black Hole Network account, right?"

"Uh…"

"Give me your black hole account number and I'll send you something." Li Ming said. Using the Star Network might have hidden dangers and he didn't want to alert the enemy.

Yang Peng hesitated for a while, but still sent a string of code.

Li Ming sent Qin Xiao's criminal information over, and then said, "Uncle Yang, I'm going to find Qin Xiao now. You take the information I sent you and go find Secretary Fan."

Yang Peng didn't respond at first, then suddenly shouted: "F*ck!"

He must have been checking the information. It was not until two or three minutes later that he came back to his senses: "Li Ming, tell me honestly, where did these things come from?"

"Don't worry about it. My life and property are in your hands." Li Ming deliberately exaggerated and then ended the communication.

After scanning the Star Network, Qin Xiao also sent him a few messages, which roughly meant that this was an emergency and asked him to cooperate first. He would definitely ensure that Li Ming was safe.

"Minister, I'll go back now." Li Ming edited a message.

Then, the mimicry mask on his face disappeared, revealing his original appearance, and he headed towards the City Guard Building.

……

"Minister, Li Ming is here and is on the first floor now." Lin Yao first contacted Qin Xiao. He came back early, and Section Chief Wang, who was escorting Wang Zhiheng and others, was still behind.

At the same time, he had many guesses in his mind. Qin Xiao's movements were very big and it didn't seem like he would handle it with care.

"I see."

In the office, Qin Xiao was quite calm. It was late July and the temperature was so high that it made people lazy and they had no interest in doing anything.

He didn't care whether Li Ming noticed any clues or suspected anything.

Because the other party has no choice but to come to the City Guard Building to await investigation or defect.

But now the Sixth Patrol Fleet has blockaded the entire Silver-Ash Star, and Star Creation Company is eyeing it covetously. Even if you defect, where can you escape to?

This is the terrifying thing about official power. A single document is enough to leave people with nowhere to go.

"Should we just detain him?" Lin Yaoxian asked further, "He wants to see you."

"No need, we are all family, don't be so hostile." Qin Xiao shook his head and said calmly: "Let him come up, I will talk to him properly."

"Yes."

……

"The minister asked you to go up." Lin Yaoxian looked at Li Ming who was standing in the middle of the hall, surrounded by fully armed city guards.

Lao Yao and Peng Gang were both among them, with complicated expressions.

Li Ming nodded, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard Lin Yaoxian shouting: "Wait..."

"The person who passed by, check his body."

"Fuck!" Lao Yao said unhappily, "He's not a suspect, why search him?"

"This is against the rules." Peng Gang added in a muffled voice.

Lin Yaoxian ignored the two of them and sent two of his own men over to use a detector to confirm that there were no suspicious explosives on Li Ming.

"Let's go." Lin Yaoxian moved aside, watched Li Ming get on the elevator, and then he followed suit.

Lin Yaoxian smiled warmly: "We are all family, don't be nervous, just save face. The beast tide incident has a big impact, and the minister has also been under a lot of pressure, don't take it to heart."

Li Ming glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Yaoxian continued, "Yang Peng is your uncle, right? I heard that he confronted Minister Qin for you before."

"Alas... I was too impulsive. I am now in charge of the Internal Affairs Department. I have been wondering how to deal with it. After all, he is an old man. What do you think..."

boom!
Without any warning, Li Ming suddenly attacked, and his right arm blasted out at an extremely fast speed, hitting Lin Yaoxian's left cheek.

The two were extremely close to each other, and Lin Yaoxian was completely unprepared. This punch was powered by a [Charged Strike], and the energy level burst exceeded 20E.
