This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 78: Summit Road Turn Qin Xiao: I am a good person!
Caught off guard, Lin Yaoxian was thrown out, his jaw was twisted, and several bloody teeth popped out of his mouth. He was still a little dazed when he hit the inner wall of the elevator.

Sizzle—the rising elevator made a harsh friction sound.

The severe pain that stimulated his nerves turned the confusion in Lin Yaoxian's eyes into raging rage, but then a large hand like an iron hoop pressed on his head.

"You talk too much nonsense." Li Ming's cold voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Yaoxian was startled, and suddenly realized that this guy's life level was not right. How could he be an E-level life form! ?
It's not that he is completely powerless to resist, but being in a high position for so long has made him unwilling to take risks. In his opinion, Li Ming has reached the end of his rope.

There is no need for me to fight a life-and-death battle with such a person.

Lin Yaoxian held his breath in his heart and raised his hands to indicate that he had no other intentions.

Li Ming let go of his hand. Lin Yaoxian turned around and twisted his lower jaw with both hands. With a click, he moved his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood foam, but did not speak.

Ding--
The elevator door opened and Li Ming walked out first, seemingly not afraid at all that Lin Yaoxian would attack him from behind.

Lin Yaoxian spat out another mouthful of blood foam and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao was waiting outside the office. He Yu lowered his head and said nothing. Xiao Gang and others looked at him coldly.

"Here I come." He looked peaceful, but when he saw the miserable look of Lin Yaoxian behind Li Ming, his expression changed slightly.

"Yaoxian, please wait here for a while." Qin Xiao brought Li Ming into the room.

"Lin Yaoxian is the head of the logistics department after all. If you do this, he will lose face and will make things difficult for you in the future." Qin Xiao said with some sarcasm and helplessness:
"Don't be angry. This is not directed at you alone. The pressure from above is too strong and I can't do anything about it."

"Minister, there's no need to pretend now." Li Ming spoke with a hint of sarcasm, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

Seeing Li Ming's indifferent look, Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with gloom, and he sighed: "I know this is unfair to you, but after all..."

"Stop..." Li Ming raised his hand and said nonchalantly, "Chen Songnan disappeared, and Xingchuang Company put the blame on you, and asked you to give an explanation."

"You just push us all out as scapegoats."

Qin Xiao paused, the expression on his face restrained, and finally became expressionless.

"Don't be so cautious, Minister. I don't have any recording equipment with me." Li Ming shook his head.

"The world is unpredictable." Qin Xiao spoke, walked to the glass window, overlooking the Silver Gray City, and said indifferently: "I have understood this truth for a long time."

"There is another truth. Before you have sufficient ability, you must endure any injustice."

"I really wanted to train you, what a pity."

He spoke without missing a single word, as if he had said everything, yet as if he had said nothing.

"Do you have any other wishes?" Qin Xiao was confident of victory. What if Li Ming knew the truth?

"Hmm..." Li Ming hesitated for a moment. At this moment, He Yu opened the door in a panic. "Minister, Secretary-General Fan Xiaosu brought Yang Peng up, and there are others."

"Huh!?" Qin Xiao suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with brilliance. He glanced at Li Ming who was calm and composed, and his eyes became dark and uncertain.

It was naturally impossible to stop him. As He Yugang finished speaking, he was pushed aside.

Fan Xiaosu walked in wearing high heels, with her big wavy hair covering half of her face.

He was accompanied by his personal bodyguard and several other officials.

"Qin Xiao, you are accused of seventeen crimes including bribery...murder...smuggling. I will temporarily freeze your power as minister pending investigation." Fan Xiaosu had a calm expression and a slim figure.

Yang Peng behind him gave Li Ming a look. Lin Yaoxian at the door was still a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Qin Xiao remained calm, looked around at everyone, and refuted: "Secretary Fan, you and I are not in the same system at all. What qualifications do you have to freeze my ministerial power?"

Although Qin Xiao seemed servile before, in fact, as a person sent by the Blue Star City Guard Headquarters, he really had nothing to fear as long as the headquarters did not give up on him.

"Just based on a few words from some people, they accused me of seventeen felonies." Qin Xiao snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Yang Peng, he turned around and opened the terminal on the table, and said in a deep voice: "City guards above the captain level, come up and equip your guns!"

Fan Xiaosu's face changed slightly, but he also responded accordingly, opened the smart terminal, and a virtual screen popped up, "Why? Just based on these!"

A large number of pictures, videos and audio materials are refreshed.

Qin Xiao was shocked, with a look of surprise on his face. His sharp eyes instantly fell on Li Ming, and he was obviously out of control.

How could that information be leaked?

He was extremely surprised. All the information was stored in a quantum-encrypted USB flash drive, so how could it appear in the other party's hands?

The person who handled the USB drive held Chen Songnan and Li Ming. Chen Songnan would only threaten him and would not break up with him.
The only possibility is Li Ming, but he understands, how could Li Ming crack it in such a short time?
Combined with Li Ming's attitude just now, he understood that something must have happened in secret that he didn't know about.

The elevator kept running, and Qin Xiao's office was full of people standing outside, some looked ferocious, and some looked confused.

"Minister Qin, is there anything else to say? Everyone present here is your subordinates. Do you really have to humiliate them?" Fan Xiaosu said indifferently.

Qin Xiao's face was uncertain, but he finally sighed, "I didn't expect things to come to this. Secretary Fan, you misunderstood."

"Oh?" Fan Xiaosu sneered, wanting to see how Qin Xiao would defend himself in the face of such hard evidence.

"I don't know where you got this information from, but I can only say that this is a necessary sacrifice for me." Qin Xiao looked solemn.

A question mark appeared in everyone's mind?
Sacrifice? You accept bribes and enjoy wealth and luxury, is that a sacrifice?
Only Li Ming was slightly stunned, but then he connected everything Qin Xiao said.

The doubts in his mind were answered, and Li Ming finally understood why Qin Xiao had collected his own criminal information.

Interesting... He let out a smile, the old fox, worthy of being an old fox, always looks three steps ahead.

"What is the situation on Silver Ash Star? Everyone knows it, so I won't go into details." Qin Xiao paced back and forth, looking sad. "The evil forces are intertwined, and the top leaders of Silver Ash City are colluding with them. I came here with great ambition to clean up all of this."

"But it's more difficult than I thought. They are adamant and almost impossible to shake. The only thing I can do is to serve the tiger and become part of their conspiracy."

"At the same time, I secretly collected information about their crimes. In this case, I will inevitably be stained with blood, but I can guarantee that I have filed a record of every incident recorded here and reported it to the Blue Star City Guard Headquarters."

Qin Xiao's words were sonorous and rhythmic, and when he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Yang Peng's face changed drastically and his heart sank to the bottom. Qin Xiao turned himself into an undercover agent?
Lin Yaoxian was dumbfounded, and his admiration for Qin Xiao reached its peak at this moment.

"I don't know who gave you the information or what their intentions were, but I can give you a more complete version." Qin Xiao walked past Li Ming, took out a quantum-encrypted USB drive, and held it in his hand.

"It contains evidence of collusion between the City Management Committee, the three major gangs in the outer city, and the Star Creation Company, as well as criminal evidence of seventeen mid- and high-level government officials!"

In the room, you could hear a pin drop. Some of the city guards outside the room couldn't think straight and were still confused.

Yang Peng couldn't help but look at Li Ming. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could guess that this was Qin Xiao's trick.

If it were just the verbal attack just now, it would be too pale and powerless, but with these evidences, the situation is different.

Qin Xiao looked around at everyone, and all he felt was contempt.

He had anticipated the scene before his eyes. He had leverage over both Star Creation Company and the three major gangs.

He started setting up this scheme at least five years ago, just to get away with it unscathed one day.

"Of course, these are all my personal words, and maybe they are too exaggerated. I will contact Commissioner Chen right away, and he will corroborate my claims." Qin Xiao continued, and in front of everyone, he turned on the smart terminal.

You are too young to fight me. Qin Xiao looked at Li Ming without any emotion. It was good enough to cause him such troubles. Unfortunately...

If you want to get rid of people like them, the most important thing is never evidence.

The smart terminal vibrated slightly, and Qin Xiao couldn't wait to say: "Commissioner Chen..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted, "Is Secretary-General Fan here?"

Commissioner Chen, one of the members of the City Guard Headquarters, is quite powerful. Even though he is far away in the capital planet, he has a general understanding of the situation here.

"Your Excellency, Commissioner, I'm here." Fan Xiaosu said.

Qin Xiao didn't care at all, with a smile that showed everything was under control on his face.

"I don't endorse anything Qin Xiao said. You can handle what crime he committed and how he should be punished."

After he finished speaking, Qin Xiao's face froze, as if thunders were exploding in his ears. He stared blankly at the smart terminal in his hand. His face suddenly became distorted, and a tremendous rage and despair arose.

After so many years of support and investing most of my fortune, how could this happen?!

The pride and arrogance he had just felt now turned into thorns that pierced into his chest and stirred it.

The others were also confused. Just now, seeing Qin Xiao, he looked determined to win, and they really thought that his back-up plan was unmatched. But this was the result?
The situation has reversed again?
Yang Peng let out a long sigh and looked at Li Ming with a little joy, only to find that Li Ming's expression was still calm, neither sad nor happy, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all by the result.

Commissioner Chen ended the communication without saying a word.

"Qin Xiao, do you have any other questions?" Fan Xiaosu asked calmly. Li Ming noticed that her expression did not change much, as if she had already expected this result.

Qin Xiao looked up, and everyone was shocked. At this moment, his eyes were full of bloodshot. He looked at Li Ming coldly, gritting his teeth: "Is it... you!?"

"how did you do it!"

He couldn't understand why all the connections he had built up and the plans he had set up after years of hard work had vanished so easily.

How could he influence such a big situation? And who could make Commissioner Chen give up on him without hesitation?

"Minister Qin just said that we have to endure when we don't have the ability. What if we have the ability?" Li Ming leaned against the glass wall and said lightly.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and their expressions changed slightly.

Although he didn't know why, Minister Qin seemed to think that his downfall was closely related to Li Ming.

"Take him away." Fan Xiaosu ordered. The bodyguard behind him had already prepared everything and was holding two heavy metal blocks.

There was a struggle in Qin Xiao's eyes. Li Ming was alert and paid attention to his movements. After all, he was a D-level life form.

But in the end, Qin Xiao did nothing. His slightly withered hands fell on the two metal blocks. With a clicking sound, the mechanical structure spread, climbed up his palms and arms, and finally formed a mosaic on his back.

Qin Xiao let out a low wail from his throat, staggered, and almost fell to the ground, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he looked much weaker.

Qin Xiao was held aside, and she turned around and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, everyone. From now on, I will temporarily take over Qin Xiao's position as the minister."

"In addition, Yang Peng has made meritorious contributions in reporting the case, and has been promoted to the position of Chief of Internal Affairs."

Yang Peng was stunned. He became... a section chief already? It seemed a bit too easy.

"Secretary General, my colleagues." Li Ming said.

"Don't worry." Fan Xiaosu smiled slightly, with a warm attitude: "Everything Qin Xiao did before needs to be investigated, especially in recent times."

"Besides, Sandra came to me and proved their innocence."

Everyone had strange looks on their faces, their eyes wandering between Fan Xiaosu and Li Ming. Why did they feel that the secretary general's attitude towards Li Ming was a little strange?

"Awesome, really awesome..." Old Yao, who was at the edge, raised his finger secretly.

Yang Peng narrowed his eyes and smelled a different scent.

"Also, things are not over yet. If the information here is true, everyone will be busy." Fan Xiaosu held the USB flash drive that Qin Xiao took out in his hand.

Qin Xiao let out a "huh" sound, and his cheek twitched. It's just a waste of time! It's just a waste of time!

Fan Xiaosu's action was not over yet. He contacted the Sixth Patrol Fleet on the spot and asked them to send people to assist Silver Ash City's next action.

There is no doubt that this will be a big purge.

Until everyone left, it was still a little hard to believe that Qin Xiao had become a prisoner?
The sky of Silver Ash City has changed just like that?
"Of course." Lao Yao suddenly laughed out loud, attracting a lot of attention. "Do I need to ask? The secretary-general must have taken a fancy to my brother."

Yang Peng's face darkened as he shouted, "Yao Guang!"

"Hey, Yang Ke, what do you want me to do?" Old Yao came running over.

Fan Xiaosu and Li Ming were the only ones left in Qin Xiao's office.

This intellectual young woman sat in Qin Xiao's seat. She had delicate and beautiful facial features and her loose, wavy hair added a touch of charm to her cold and arrogant temperament.

"Professor Wu can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. After Yang Peng sent the evidence, I called him immediately. He told me to act with confidence. He still remembers you and knows that you are Yang Peng's nephew." Fan Xiaosu's pretty face was full of seriousness:

"There are very few people who can be remembered by Wu."

It seems that the other party didn't know his specific situation either, and just thought he was lucky to be remembered by Professor Wu.

The two chatted for a few words, and he saw that Fan Xiaosu wanted to see him off, so he took the initiative to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Secretary-General, can you give me the permissions for those advanced training rooms?"

He originally had one, but later Qin Xiao locked it up for him.

"no problem."

Li Ming walked out of the office and glanced at He Yu. He found that He Yu's seat was empty, but he didn't care.

……

Half an hour later, a transport spacecraft landed on the roof of the City Guard Building, escorting Wang Zhiheng and others.

"Mr. Wang, how many times do you want me to tell you that Chen Songnan said at the time that the problem lies with his people. Sandra can help us prove it."

"This matter has nothing to do with us!"

Wang Zhiheng kept cursing all the way, and Section Chief Wang frowned. At first, he really thought that Qin Xiao had received some intelligence, but after learning the details, he felt something was wrong.

But he had no choice, and he couldn't say much to Wang Zhiheng. Qin Xiao was not just Qin Xiao, he represented the authority of the Blue Star civilization, and the Sixth Patrol Fleet also blocked the Silver-Gray Star's extraterrestrial waterways.

There is no other way except to obey orders.

"We're here. Send them to the detention room first. I'll go find the minister to find out the situation." Section Chief Wang stood up and said in a deep voice.

The hatch opened and someone was already waiting here.

"Section Chief Wang." Li Ning walked forward.

"It's you?" Section Chief Wang had some impression of this young man. He seemed to be one of Yang Peng's subordinates.

"Li Ning, why are you here to pick us up? Where are your family? Where is Lao Yang?" Wang Zhiheng saw Li Ning and spoke.

"Captain Wang, Yang Ke has just taken over the Internal Affairs Department and is currently sorting it out, so let me explain the situation." Li Ning explained.

"Oh..." Wang Zhiheng nodded first, then his eyes widened as if he had received an electric shock, "What the hell are you talking about, Yang Ke?"

"Yeah." Li Ning smiled. "Half an hour ago, Secretary-General Fan promoted Captain Yang to the position of Chief of the Internal Affairs Section."

"What the hell?" Wang Zhiheng looked envious and jealous: "He...he..."

But Section Chief Wang keenly noticed another point and frowned, "Was he promoted by Secretary-General Fan?"

"Yes." Li Ning continued to add: "Former Minister Qin Xiao was temporarily stripped of his ministerial position due to seventeen felonies."

Section Chief Wang stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. The others looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell… After just one trip outside, the whole situation in the department changed?
"What about us?" Wang Zhiheng asked impatiently.

"Of course you are all fine. Yang Ke specifically asked me to come and inform you."

"Ha..." Wang Zhiheng grinned, and his colleagues came forward to untie their shackles.

Wang Zhiheng was full of curiosity. He put his arms around Li Ning's neck and asked what had happened.

After a moment, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "You said, Li Ming and that guy surnamed Fan are really flirting with each other?"

"It's not me who said that. I also heard it from Brother Yao." Li Ning explained hurriedly.

Wang Zhiheng's face changed, and he punched his palm, "Fuck, this kid is really eating this soft rice!"

"Yang Peng is so lucky. He has the power of a nephew because of his uncle. He even managed to become a section chief. Damn, I should have known not to give that guy directions."

"Captain Wang, keep your voice down." Li Ning waved his hands hastily, looked around, and whispered in a guilty tone, "Captain Yang forbad us to mention this matter."

"He..." Wang Zhiheng curled his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just mumbled and said nothing.

Yang Peng is now the head of the Internal Affairs Section. If you want to make things difficult for him, it’s just a matter of words.

.........

During the next three days, the entire Silver Ash City leadership was in turmoil.

There are five people in the Management Committee, one of whom is in charge of each major department of SilverAsh City, and all of them were removed from their posts at the same time.

It is said that when they were captured, they were completely confused. After learning the truth, they greeted Qin Xiao's ancestors.

There were many other people affected as well. Not only the sky of the city guards, but the sky of the entire Silver Ash City was changed.

The citizens of SilverAsh City went from being at a loss at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it.

“9%…” Li Ming was only wearing shorts, naked, his skin was flushed red, and white smoke was rising from his body.

The detection device in front of him revealed his current development progress. Now everything was put on hold. He was too lazy to care about the outside world and had been concentrating on development.

After enabling the capability, the development speed can be tripled. Even so, the development speed is not optimistic.

"If we get a few more genetic testing devices, the combined effects can increase the development rate significantly." Li Ming pondered. He had this idea a long time ago, and now that he had time to work on it, it was time to put it on the agenda.

The money is not much on the surface. I received my salary two days ago, plus the bonus, which is a total of 15,000 star coins. Unfortunately, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Black Hole Network still has a balance, but he doesn't want to be cheated because of such a small matter.

He thought that next time he saw Old Wu, he would have to shamelessly ask for some no matter what.

"Brother Li, hey, you finally came out." As soon as he walked out of the special training room, he saw Lin Yaoxian standing not far away and greeting him.

With a flattering smile on his face.

This guy says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. He is a fence-sitter and goes with the flow, but surprisingly, he has not really participated in any shameful activities.

Although the logistics chief Du Chengdu was arrested, he was temporarily safe.

"Chief Lin, what a coincidence." Li Ming wiped his hair.

"It's no coincidence. I've been waiting for you here for six or seven hours." Lin Yaoxian said with some resentment.

"What's up?"

Lin Yaoxian smiled and said, "I have reserved a table at the Silver City Hotel and would like to invite you to have a meal."

"Eat?" Li Ming glanced at him and shook his head: "Not interested."

"Minister Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Lin Yaoxian's expression changed. He looked around like a thief and whispered:

"Little brother, please don't mind if I have offended you before. You know, when I worked under that bastard Qin Xiao, there were many things I couldn't do anything about."

"I know your family is not well off. I have saved some money over the years and I am ready to help you out."

Here to send money? Li Ming was slightly surprised. How could this guy be so scared?
"Little brother, you may not know this, but Brother Yang is now the head of the Internal Affairs Section and also the head of the Logistics Section." Lin Yaoxian's tone was full of envy: "Professor Wu specifically praised him for his courage to report the higher-ups."

Li Ming understood that Old Wu was quite roundabout. On the surface, he was trying to improve Yang Peng's status in order to radiate his influence and achieve an indirect protection effect.
