The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Xia Jiangchen, he smuggled himself out of the Desolate Prison Star." Lin Fan, the villain, added fuel to the fire, "Back then on the Desolate Prison Star, I couldn't stand that he abandoned his grandmother, who had died of illness, in the wilderness, and I thought of collecting her body."

He felt that my doing a good deed was a slap in his face, so he falsely accused me, saying that I caused Grandma Xia's death!

The commander gave Jiang Chen a cold glance and waved to his mechanical exoskeleton team, "Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly."

"Grandma, is this the military base you were talking about?" Jiang Chen smiled sarcastically. "Looks like I don't need to try it out."

I really can't stand places like this where right and wrong are indistinguishable.

The team dedicated to protecting the galaxy and maintaining peace is only listening to one side of the story, and is protecting their so-called "own people" who are a combination of robbers, murderers, and fraudsters.

Aren't you afraid that this treacherous villain will stab you in the back when he goes to war?

Lin Fan knew he couldn't let him say more at this moment, especially once the ship girls arrived, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Xia Jiangchen would be gone!

Once he dies, the ship girls will become ownerless...

Thinking of this, he directly drew the guns equipped on the members of the mechanical exoskeleton team and fired a shot, "Trash, die!"

It was just killing an ordinary civilian. With his A-level psychic potential, he could cover it up with a report.

When the person dies, you can say whatever you want about the specific circumstances.

They just said they couldn't stand his insult to the army and fired a shot in a fit of rage. Who would bother to investigate anything for Xia Jiangchen's sake?

"boom!"

A gunshot echoed through the hospital corridor.

The impact of the bullet instantly knocked Jiang Chen to the ground, and at the same time, General Su Lan's confident roar rang out, "Lin Fan, you dare to kill someone in public!"

Doctor, quickly get him to the treatment pod!

"Which unit are you from? State your unit number! Let Mu Liao handle this personally!"

The commander was also terrified.

He never expected that Lin Fan would dare to shoot and kill someone just because of a disagreement!

Although they had killed countless enemies on the battlefield, killing unarmed civilians under these circumstances was simply outrageous...

However, Lin Fan was, after all, a mecha warrior with A-level potential, a hot commodity at the military base, and there was nothing he could do about him.

In the midst of the chaos, the old woman's words gave him a jolt.

Mu Liao?

Isn't that General Mu's name?

This old woman actually dared to address General Mu by his full name? And... looking closely, she seems somewhat familiar...

The doctors hurriedly lifted Jiang Chen up, preparing to take her to the treatment ward.

"Huh? There's no blood..." the nurse looked confused. "Where's the gun barrel?"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, coughed twice, and got up. "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm not injured. It's just that the shot was quite powerful, and it left me a little dazed."

The crowd, who were initially stunned by Lin Fan's act of killing, now looked at each other in bewilderment.

How could he not be injured after being shot at such close range by Lin Fan, who is known as a "sharpshooter"?

Could he be an android?

That's not right. Even if a cyborg is shot, its parts will be damaged. At the very least, a big hole in its chest is a basic requirement.

But how come he doesn't have any injuries at all?

The commander, finally realizing what was happening, disarmed Lin Fan and had the team members wearing mechanical exoskeletons guard him. He then stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Sir, we are the military base's B-1204 mopping-up team."

I am Li Qingming, the team leader.

General Mu has important business to attend to and is not in the vicinity of this star system. You can speak directly to me if you need anything.

General Su Lan had no time to pay him any attention at that moment.

She stood up from her wheelchair, observed Jiang Chen carefully for a moment, and then asked with a smile, "Is it a new product from TechStar?"

I heard they're researching protective energy shields that can be attached to ordinary clothing.

I haven't been paying attention to what's happening outside for a while; I didn't even know they had succeeded.

Jiang Chen twitched her lips and lowered her voice, saying, "No, Grandma, this is a self-developed, non-sale item. I'll explain it to you when I have time."

Meanwhile, on a starship floating outside the polar night star.

Edith, with her short silver hair, suddenly paused. "Huh? Captain is in danger! The energy shield I set up for him has been hit by gunfire!"

The other ship girls immediately became alert upon hearing this.

"We've obtained permission to land on the main planet; we can now land on planets of level nine and below," Amy said solemnly. "Sisters, prepare to land! We're going to protect the Captain!"

Chapter Twenty-Three: What Can I Do? I'm Helpless Too.

In the hospital conference room, General Su Lan, having revealed his identity, sat in the main seat;

Two team members wearing mechanical exoskeletons escorted Lin Fan to stand in the middle;

The commander stood close to the team members;

The other team members stood upright against one side of the wall;

Jiang Chen, feigning slight unease, sat to the right of General Su Lan.

"Xia, tell me what exactly happened," General Su Lan said.

Having prepared for a long time, Jiang Chen took out an old photo carefully sealed with an ultra-thin energy shield from his pocket. "I grew up on the desolate planet."

My parents passed away when I was young, and I have lived with my elderly and frail grandmother since I can remember.

This is the only photo of our family.

Three years ago, my grandmother and I lost a box containing our family photos and a large portion of our savings while fleeing a robbery.

I thought I would never find this family photo again.

Unexpectedly, this happened a year and a half ago.

I finally managed to save enough money by collecting trash to buy a blank chip, which I planned to take back to my grandmother to activate so that she could go to the hospital on a level-two planet and use the treatment pod to repair her ailing and weak body.

Unexpectedly, less than five minutes after I bought the chip, I was threatened by Lin Fan in the alley with this photo.

He asked me to give him the blank chip;

Otherwise, the photos will be torn up!

That's the only trace my grandmother and parents left in this world!

I agreed to exchange the chip for it, but after I gave him the blank chip, that damn Lin Fan actually took the photo and the chip and ran away!

He's just trying to scam me out of my chip.

By some miracle, he was hit by a falling object while fleeing in panic and passed out, which allowed me to retrieve the family photo and the chip.

Lin Fan is a very strange guy!

Someone somehow found my family photo and tried to blackmail me, but when that failed, they went straight to my house and tried to kill my grandmother.

When I rushed back, my grandmother had already been taken to the ancestral hall in Ya Village to be cremated.

According to the person in charge, he also plans to have his name engraved on my grandmother's tombstone!

After I caught him, Lin Fan ran away.

After burying my grandmother, I chased after him and discovered that he had actually used a blank interstellar card to trick the query machine and steal Tang Xiaoqi's chip for 350,000 interstellar coins.

That was prepared for his younger sister, but she was stolen and sold to human traffickers in the chaos of the fire in the early hours of the same day.

Luckily, I had savings, so I bought Tang Xiaoqi a chip and used it to track down Lin Fan with her.

During the pursuit, I went through everything that had happened and found that Lin Fan, whom I had never met before, was behaving too strangely, as if he knew everything about what was about to happen!

I have always suspected that Tang Xiaomei was abducted by him.

Otherwise, how would Lin Fan know that Tang Xiaoqi had a blank chip that hadn't been activated?

In short, Lin Fan's behavior was very abnormal from the moment he appeared, and everything he did seemed to have a ulterior motive.

Hearing him say that, Su Lan frowned slightly.

Looking back on my "chance encounter" with Lin Fan, it was indeed very unreasonable and even illogical.

It's like... he was deliberately waiting for him!

Is it really possible for someone to be able to predict the future?

"Lin Fan, what do you have to say about Xia Jiangchen's statement?" she asked.

Lin Fan, who was being held captive, raised his head and glared at Jiang Chen with hatred, then sneered, "Just like Xia Jiang Chen said before that my story was only one side of the story."

The desolate planet has been destroyed, and what he said is only one side of the story.

Who can prove it?

He can take a photo, find someone named Tang Xiaoqi, and make up a story.

I have never killed anyone!

It was Xia Jiangchen. He left his maternal grandmother's body in the desert. I think the old woman had a hard life and just wanted to do something good, to give her a dignified burial.

He has been falsely accused of murder ever since!

I was born on the desolate planet, and I have never been to school or learned to read.

The instructors at the military base can attest to this; I began learning academic subjects after entering the military base.

Then tell me, how could someone who is illiterate possibly carve their name on your grandmother's tombstone?

"Of course it's because you have a system!" Xiaobai stood on Jiang Chen's shoulder with his hands on his hips and shouted, pointing at him, "If my host hadn't arrived in time, you probably would have succeeded!"

Pooh!

How shameless! Carving your own name on someone else's grandmother's tombstone.

General Sulan looked at the commander.

The other person seemed a little nervous and awkward. He wiped his sweat and nodded, saying, "That's right, Lin Fan really can't read. He even learned his name at the military base."
