Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"No problem, I love spending money on games too."

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Hehehehehe...

The two people, one big and one small, looked at each other's illusory figures and laughed slyly.

The details still need to be discussed slowly, so Lucas first talked to Enron about the price.

He also mentioned that his certainty stemmed from the appearance of Eresh. The intelligence capabilities of the Star Alliance were extremely strong, and they knew long ago that Eresh had contact with the pirate princess Anran.

"Oh, right, I have one more request..."

Anran then brought up the matter of Bode.

Since we've already reached an agreement with the intelligence department, let's just do it all at once and save some trouble.

"Leave this to us."

"I will stay here for a few more days, and I hope you can release the person as soon as possible."

"There's no need for all that trouble; you'll see him today."

"That's good." An Ran nodded.

This trip yielded some unexpected gains; it seems the time-traveling adventure is about to hit the fast track.

Chapter 71 Ai Xing's Longest Night

After leaving the meeting place, Anran went straight to Bode.

"Let's wait and see, we should have results by today." Anran, sitting on the sofa, calmly looked at the agitated Bode.

Anran spotted Isaac as she entered the house, so she could understand why Bode was so excited.

"Thank you, thank you so much! As soon as my son comes back, I'll get the keys for you right away!"

Bode bowed repeatedly.

He doesn't care about the inside story or whether it's a setup. As long as his son can come back, he doesn't care if the other party wants all the keys he has collected, let alone this one key.

The anxious wait finally brought good news.

As evening approached, Anran received a communication message from the Star Alliance Intelligence Department—

The person has been taken to the vicinity of the villa.

"It's been delivered. Go down and take a look."

Anran stood up and said to Bode.

"It's my son..."

"Mm." An Ran nodded.

Bode immediately cried out in surprise, completely lacking the demeanor of a well-known wealthy man from Dazhou.

He looked quite young and was very agile, running to the corner of the stairs in just a few steps. Suddenly realizing he'd overdone it, he quickly stopped and said, "Miss, look at me..."

"I can understand."

An Ran smiled.

Although neither the pirate princess Anran nor the cake-selling girl Anran of Twin Moon City had ever experienced the warmth of family affection, she still lived with her parents for 17 years before she transmigrated.

later……

That's a sad story.

When going down the stairs, Bode deliberately lagged behind Anran by two steps, but Anran didn't say anything.

The bracelet vibrated again, and An Ran raised her hand to find that it was an email from the intelligence department.

It was forwarded from an internal message from the state government of the lower-level state.

An Ran glanced at it briefly, and her expression turned strange.

The observant Bode quickly noticed that something was wrong with Anran; could it be that something went wrong with the handover?

"Did something happen?" Bode asked, voicing his doubts.

"No, let's go out and pick someone up."

An Ran shook her head. People can always get stuck in a certain fixed way of thinking and can't get out of it.

Bode followed Anran with some skepticism. As they walked, Ella, who was on the first floor, also caught up. Once they left the villa, the group had grown to more than a dozen people.

The meeting place marked by the intelligence department was very close to the villa. Just walk straight down the street, then go around a space elevator, and you'll find the person in a narrow spot among the buildings.

Bode stopped in his tracks when he saw his eldest son surrounded by a group of armed men.

That was his chosen successor.

I haven't seen him for more than twenty days. Although there are no visible injuries on his body, his complexion looks much worse.

Bode felt both relieved and secretly heartbroken.

But he did not lose his composure because of this.

On the contrary, his eldest son exclaimed with delight upon seeing Bod again, "Dad!"

"The person has been brought to Your Majesty!"

The leader of the escorts saluted An Ran.

This display of force caught the attention of Bode and his son.

His identity is anything but simple.

"Thank you for your help. I won't be going there. If there's anything, have Lucas contact me directly," An Ran said.

“I’ve already written it down.”

Lucas, that name sounds familiar?

Emmm...

That's right, there are at least 18 to 10 million people named Lucas in the Covenant, if not 100 million.

Bode racked his brains, going through the names of the major officials in Lower Dakota, including the legislators, but couldn't find anyone named Lucas.

Since he couldn't think of anything, he stopped thinking about it and began to immerse himself in the joy of his son being rescued.

He thanked the intelligence officers profusely until they excused themselves from the meeting.

"Thank goodness, if it weren't for this young lady, you wouldn't be out of here right now. Quickly thank her!" Bode patted his son.

Bode's eldest son had been staring at Anran for a long time, but he didn't seem to notice Ella's glare.

He quickly smiled and said, "Thank you so much for saving me, Miss..."

"Alright, that's enough." Anran turned to Bode. "I sent you something, take a look yourself."

ha?

Bode was taken aback.

I've already told you about my bracelet's interface, how could you...?

Buzz!

At that moment, the bracelet suddenly vibrated, telling Bode that he had indeed received something.

It's an email.

Forwarded from the internal office of the state government of the lower-level state.

Bode examined it carefully.

The more I looked at him, the stranger his face seemed.

Bode couldn't help but recall the strange expression on Anran's face as he descended the stairs at the villa.

No wonder, the email was about his son's arrest.

He drove his near-Earth interstellar car recklessly, crashing into other people's cars and arrogantly cursing them. It turned out that the person he cursed was the younger brother of the Speaker of the State Capitol.

"I'm going to show you who the real younger brother is!"

Then Bode's son was arrested.

According to this internal email, Bode's son's arrest had absolutely nothing to do with any conspiracy; it was entirely his own doing.

It is entirely reasonable and justifiable for others to arrest him.

“Miss, this…” Bode looked at An Ran with some difficulty.

He doesn't believe it.

How could his son do such a thing? This must be a slanderous statement from the other party.

"Don't look at me. These materials were forwarded to me by people from the intelligence department. Whether you believe in the intelligence department's capabilities or not is not my concern."

An Ran pursed her lips.

Should I express sympathy for Bode or what?

Well, this has nothing to do with her.

There are troublesome sons everywhere, he should be grateful that he encountered me this time, as I only asked for a key that was of no use to his family.

If you give someone else the key, they might just kill them like pigs.

An Ran couldn't really empathize with her, and she had no plans to have children in the future anyway.

Being with Ella also prevents the birth of a child.

At most, we can adopt one, but it can't be as mischievous as An Qianqian.

Pshaw, we're still young, why are we thinking about this kind of thing?

After Anran finished speaking, Bode remained silent for a moment.

Intelligence Department.
