Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Shut up, you vile beast! Who gave you the right to speak here? If you're trying to sow discord, I'll rip your tongue out first."

A fierce glint suddenly flashed in Mo Du's eyes as he strode toward Jiao Qiu.

"Let him speak." Hu Lei's voice was deep and muffled like thunder, and a shadow silently shrouded Mo Du's figure. He looked down, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"...Yes." Mo Du suddenly felt immense fear and lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

“Interesting.” Hu Lei’s gaze fell on Jiao Qiu.

"Fox-man general... is what he said true?"

"Yes, she was a war slave who escaped from the hunting party, a mere cannon fodder. She despicably stole our power and then used it against us!"

Moto lowered his head slightly and explained in a low voice.

"Ha, how laughable. Those slaves who once eked out a living under our rule, those traitors who betrayed their masters, have now become the victors. This is not the strength of the fox people, but the incompetence of you losers."

“Lord Hulei…you are right.” Modu lowered his head even further.

"That is why we followed the prophet's guidance to rescue you. Now that the entire Luofu is captivated by foolish rituals, we have the perfect opportunity to escape Luofu..."

"Escape?" Hu Lei interrupted him again, a cold glint in his eyes. "Was this also arranged by that so-called prophet?"

"That's right, our people have already infiltrated Luofu and arranged the route. Once you return to your loyal territory, revenge against the Immortal Ship will be just around the corner!"

“How foolish,” Hu Lei shook his head. “No wonder Bu Li has fallen to such a state.”

"Sir, you—"

“Lord Hulei, even I can see that this prophet who suddenly appeared is after you. This Commander Modu is probably already in cahoots with him.” Jiaoqiu’s eyes flashed as she took the opportunity to sow discord between the two.

"You vile beast, I'll kill you!"

"Let him continue!" Hu Lei shouted coldly, and Mo Du's ferocious figure froze instantly.

“Lord Hulei, once news of the Imprisonment spreads, the Luofu Cloud Cavalry will surely seal off all the passes. An attempt to escape may very well be playing right into their hands,” Jiaoqiu said, lowering her eyes.

“Hmm…” Hu Lei paused for a moment, then said calmly:

"Since you want to return to your master's side as before and prove that you are a loyal servant, then go to the port and investigate the situation. When you come back, tell me what you have seen."

Jiaoqiu looked up in surprise. Was the other party letting him leave on their own initiative?

"Lord Hulei, you mustn't!"

"Shut up. Since when have wolf cubs been allowed to command the alpha wolf?" Zhan Shou turned his head, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Go and bring back everything I want to know. Remember, the wolf is watching you."

Under Hurena's meaningful gaze, Jiaoqiu slowly left the secluded courtyard.

As if from another world, what appeared before my eyes was the bustling street of Changletian, with pedestrians coming and going.

Although there were far fewer pedestrians here than usual due to the approaching ceremony, there were still quite a few people who could help him pass on the information.

“Vendors, pedestrians, and civil servants of the land surveyor’s office.”

Faces flashed by in Jiaoqiu's eyes as he pondered how to deliver intelligence.

His gaze shifted slightly, and suddenly, he saw another pair of eyes—a celestial being staring intently at him. That gaze was exactly the same as the one in Hu Lei's eyes just now.

He's a wolf!

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Jiao Qiu's cheek as he glanced around.

The diners eating behind the vendors, the people resting not far from the pedestrians, the passersby behind the officials of the Earth Balance Bureau, and even the travelers watching the children playing—they are all wolves!

"Damn it, just how many Step-Leaving people have infiltrated Luo Fu?!"

Jiaoqiu cursed inwardly, finally understanding why Hulei had so generously let him leave.

If he does anything unusual, these innocent people from the Immortal Ship could die because of him!

Soon, the Chang Le Tian Xing Cha ferry came into view, but the wolves' gazes did not diminish; on the contrary, they increased.

A sense of despair welled up in Jiaoqiu's heart. On the battlefield, he could be ruthless and fight the enemy without regard for the cost, but here, he would never send these innocent Immortal Ship people to the fangs of those beasts because of himself.

Just then, several figures swaggered past from not far away.

Jiaoqiu narrowed his eyes, then suddenly gasped in surprise.

As a member of the Yaoqing Fox clan, he was extremely familiar with the attire of the people in front of him.

They are from the Interstellar Peace Corporation!

Chapter 374 Seeking One's Own Death

Changletian Company's Location

“Ms. Ya Poli, this communication was very pleasant, and I believe we will have many more opportunities to cooperate in the future.”

After ending the call, Lin Yuan placed the terminal on the small table and let out a long sigh of relief.

This head of the technology research and development department, an alternate member of the board of directors, and the actual controller behind the Bo Shi Society, is indeed difficult to deal with.

Judging solely from her appearance and voice, many people might mistake her for a young person upon first meeting her.

But Lin Yuan could sense that the old lady was far more shrewd and experienced than her appearance suggested, and her thoughts were hard to fathom.

Recalling the conversation just now, after the initial greetings, Lin Yuan inadvertently brought up the matter of the immortal boat.

This was to test the waters of the collaboration between the Broad Knowledge Society and the Market Development Department.

Unfortunately, whether due to vested interests or a cautious nature, this woman kept her mouth shut.

Aside from a few meaningless pleasantries, all that was left was "no comment."

Hearing the other party's cold tone, Lin Yuan had no choice but to talk to them about the Two-Phase Paradise.

The report implied that the company had received a tip-off and was aware of the Death Demon and its aftermath in the previous Phantom Moon game, suggesting that there might be numerous violations involving extremely serious internal issues.

These materials are currently in the hands of the technology research and development department.

Lin Yuan remembered that after he brought this up, Ya Po Li remained silent for half a minute.

Whether weighing the pros and cons or looking for a reason, Lin Yuan didn't wait for the other party and chose to escalate the matter, pointing out that it was related to the Abundance Token Envoy, Shuhu.

What do you want to do?

At the time, after a period of silence, Ya Po Li said this.

She didn't show any anger or other emotions; she simply spoke in a calm and rational voice.

"I don't want anything. I just want to serve as a reminder."

Lin Yuan's tone was also calm, as if the two were chatting about everyday things.

"The company is currently in a period of turmoil, and we are all candidates for board members."

For the sake of stability, neither of us needs to introduce any additional variables. Faced with this threat, the company needs to reach a conclusion as soon as possible. What do you think, Ms. Ya Po Li?

Upon hearing this, the female manager neither answered nor refuted, which meant she acquiesced.

After confirming that there would be no conflict between the two sides for the time being, Lin Yuan changed the subject and took the initiative to extend goodwill:

"Ms. Ya Poli, the preparation and establishment of the Department of Statistics will require the cooperation and support of the Department of Technology Research and Development."

We can cooperate on many projects, especially in the military field.

In addition, Lin Yuan also offered an even more substantial incentive.

"I have just left the Black Tower space station. The Department of Statistics has reached a framework agreement with several geniuses."

Talented individuals like Heita and Ruan Mei will provide advisory support to our department. If the opportunity arises, I can introduce you to them in the future.

"Ruan Mei".

Ya Poli paused on the name, her tone softening slightly.

After both sides showed goodwill, the dialogue immediately became harmonious.

At the end of the call, Ya Po Li suddenly mentioned Su Shu Yan.

“She is very qualified and talented,” Ya Poli pointed out.

“I advise you not to transfer her to the Department of Statistics. If she stays in the Department of Technology Research and Development, I will recommend her to the House of Representatives of the Academy of Knowledge.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned, and then proposed:

"If that's the case, in exchange, could you have Professor Veritas Ladio of the Academy of Erudition work for me?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ya Po Li resolutely refused.

But perhaps feeling it was inappropriate, she took the initiative to extend goodwill by suggesting that researcher Su retain both of their positions.

Ultimately, the first private conversation between the two high-ranking executives came to an end.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Lin Yuan's gaze became deep. He raised his hand to heat the small stove and brewed himself a hot drink.

"It'll be soon, we'll have the results soon."

..........

On the other side, in the streets and alleys of Changletian.

Jiaoqiu's gaze was fixed on the few figures swaggering past, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

"People from the Interstellar Peace Corporation!"

At this critical juncture, he knew better than anyone else here.

The employees of those companies usually carry field communication equipment and are often armed to some extent.

More importantly, they have their own independent and rapid communication channels, without relying on Luofu's Diheng Division or Yunqi.

What ordinary people and grassroots civil servants cannot do, they can!

Jiaoqiu inadvertently looked away, but her brain was racing.

Although these Bu Li people are not very bright, this is the territory of the Immortal Ship. If the company is involved, they may have some reservations.

Of course, Jiaoqiu also knew that if these beasts were pushed too far, they might still become ferocious and go on a killing spree, threatening the safety of everyone here.

But he had observed that the leader of the Bu Li warriors, Hu Lei, and this guy was far more cunning than ordinary Bu Li people. As long as he could maintain a certain level of control, the other party would never easily choose to reveal his presence.
