As expected, Ark needs reform...

five minutes later.

command center.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Shu En's neck was being choked and he was being pressed down on the sofa, his raised legs trembling.

She sensed that he seemed even more excited than before.

"Forgive me..."

"What should you call me?" Li Zuoyi asked, pinching her tongue.

Shuen, though his speech was unclear, answered obediently, "Master, my lord..."

148. He's hooked up with a rich woman!

"So what's the purpose of your visit?" Li Zuoyi shook out his coat and put it on, then asked Shu En, who was sitting upright on the sofa with his legs together, "You don't just want me to hug you once, do you?"

Shuen, who was fixing her hair, blushed slightly and rubbed her legs together gently. Although she seemed a little flustered, her words were quite firm:

"What are you talking about?! I was just planning to deliver information to you, but you suddenly threw me on the sofa and started this without my permission..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, as if she felt it was really undignified. She coughed twice, took something out of her pocket, and tossed it to him.

Li Zuo reached out and caught it. He saw that it was a storage device, and it looked somewhat familiar.

“Isn’t this…the one I gave you before?” Li Zuoyi said to Shu En.

Back when they were at the Missilis Board of Directors estate, his mother had given him a storage device and told him to give it to Shuen.

After the incident, Shuen examined the contents and realized that he needed to decipher them to find out what was inside.

Li Zuoyi initially thought it might be the control system of an underground bank or something else.

"Yes." Shuen leaned forward, trying to stand up, but found her legs too weak and her back aching. After a few attempts, she gave up for the time being.

"What's inside?" Li Zuoyi asked. Since she brought it over, it meant that the contents had probably already been deciphered.

“A list, a detailed record of some officials’ money transactions,” Shuen said. “If we trace back this list, we can find a lot of things. Then, if we take the investigation report to those officials, they should kneel down and beg me not to spread it.”

Li Zuo glanced at the storage device in his hand and thought:

It wasn't money inside, but this stuff is more useful than hundreds of millions of credits. Having dirt on government officials makes it quite easy to get them to turn a blind eye to certain things or push through a bill.

This was probably an insurance policy left to Shuen by his mother to prevent Missilis from being targeted after the board of directors collapsed.

“But this thing is useless to me,” Li Zuoyi said, tossing it to her again.

Upon hearing this, Shu En couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

He could have easily taken advantage of her and Missilis, yet he made almost no demands.

He was reluctant to go to Missilis when she asked him to, and even wanted her to come herself.

Does this person have no desires?

No… Shuen’s buttocks started hurting again; he didn’t seem uninterested when he was being penetrated…

“I also know what you were doing in the middle level of the outer perimeter,” Shuen said.

"So fast?"

Shuen explained:

“Last night, Mastin had already taken the initiative to write a report detailing the whole story and submit it to the military. The power shifts in the middle ranks of the outer perimeter are no small matter, as they will affect the inner region.”

Then she pinched the storage device and said:

"After reading the report, I remembered that there was a name with the same name in it."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's Cheryl."

"She has dealings with an official?" Li Zuoyi asked. "Who is it?"

“Walker Connor, the Permanent Secretary of the Treasury at Ark.” Shuen puffed out his chest with a hint of pride, as if soliciting praise, and said, “Well? Did I deliver some important intelligence that allows you to continue your investigation?”

"Very good, very good!" Li Zuoyi patted her head.

Mastin's mission is over, but he won't give up investigating the matter, as it may involve those traitors.

The middle-level Rose Society's territory has now been occupied by the Underworld Queen's forces, and in order to stabilize their power, they are currently unable to advance into the inner district.

Although he didn't know what role Walker Connor played in this matter, it always pointed the way for the subsequent investigation.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Shuen seemed to enjoy the caresses and the straightforward praise.

"Commander, I'm sorry, it's been a long time... Has your conversation with that CEO ended?"

Dorothy's voice came from outside the door.

Just as Li Zuoyi was about to answer, he saw Shu En, who was sitting on the sofa, raise his head and suddenly reveal a mischievous smile.

She grabbed his hand and pulled him, causing him to stumble forward. Just as he was about to fall on top of her, he braced himself on the sofa with his knee and placed his other hand on the back of the sofa, preventing himself from falling on top of her.

"Why are you hiding?" Shuen was very dissatisfied, but before he could answer, she called out towards the door, "It's over, come in!"

She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to lift her face to whisper sweet nothings in his ear.

As the bolt turned, Li Zuoyi felt a strange, unsettling gaze, but when he turned his head, he only saw Dorothy's slightly surprised yet still smiling expression.

"Remember to come see me later. There are some things I'd like to discuss with you in detail. Let's talk slowly, slowly, when we're not in a crowd."

Shuen deliberately spoke a little louder to make sure the noble lady could hear him before releasing Li Zuoyi.

Li Zuoyi knew that Shu En's purpose in doing this was probably to discourage the fanatical fans she perceived him to be. However, she did not know that Dorothy was not actually his fan; she was just using a false identity to conceal herself.

However, it wasn't that he was unwilling to cooperate with her; he thought it would make her behave better in the future.

"Okay, I see."

As Li Zuo stood up, he glanced at Dorothy, who hadn't said a word since entering the room.

Look at her kind eyes; she clearly doesn't care at all.

However, Shuen sensed a completely different emotion from the noble lady.

A disgusting darkness and boundless anger.

This is the reaction of a die-hard fan.

The fact that she's not acting now probably means she doesn't dare to resist her as the CEO of Missilis.

Shuen was somewhat smug. She got up from the sofa and walked away from the command center with unsteady steps.

As the brat passed by, Dorothy's eyes twitched, and she desperately suppressed the urge to strike.

She desperately told herself that the commander would be angry, that he would think she was a capricious woman...

“Then let’s continue our tour,” Li Zuoyi said to Dorothy.

"it is good!"

After the two left, Little Red Riding Hood, looking lost in thought, came down from the second floor.

She stared at the sofa that had just been the site of a "battle," swallowed hard, and kept replaying in her mind the various "dirty words" exchanged between the two of them and the stimulating sounds of their collision.

Dorothy, Anis, Louise, the man you've been eyeing has already hooked up with a rich young woman.

149. What? You don't care at all?

Little Red Riding Hood went to Li Zhi's bedroom, intending only to touch and see how many of the so-called high-end erotic books he had collected.

After all, good things shouldn't be kept to yourself; they should be shared.

However, having failed to obtain the high-end product, he happened to witness a fierce battle between himself and the CEO of Missilis just as he was about to go downstairs.

Now, Little Red Riding Hood had no choice but to wait patiently for them to finish before going out.

She couldn't understand it at all. Wasn't he visiting the outpost with Dorothy? How could it suddenly...?

However, none of that matters now.

The most important thing now is whether or not she should tell Dorothy and the other two about it.

After all, they are now launching an offensive against a man who already has a rich young woman, and they are afraid that they will all be wasting their efforts.

Then there will be three more heartbroken people. She is so kind. She knew he had a problem, but she didn't warn them beforehand. She will definitely feel a lot of guilt then.

But should we just bluntly tell them: Haha, your men already have girlfriends, you should give up now?

No... and I can't use a definitive sentence; I have to be more tactful.

So Little Red Riding Hood opened the door, intending to talk to Dorothy first.

……

Dorothy stared at the faceless female statue before her, "This is..."

“The statues of the Goddess Force.” Li Zuo looked up at the tall statues and said, “Although no one knows their identities now, people are still grateful for their contributions to humanity, so these statues have been built all over the Ark to commemorate them.”

This is just a polite way of putting it; the reality is far more brutal, but there's no need to say more when facing guests.

Looking at the stone statue, Dorothy felt little emotion.

Moved? How could she be? This is what they deserve, they are worthy of human admiration. Rather, it's the empty shell of a goddess army that makes her unhappy.

Angry? If she didn't know the commander was still alive, she might actually be angry; this hypocritical behavior was simply disgusting.

But now the commander is by her side, and she believes that even if he doesn't remember them, he still trusts them and loves them selflessly.

Even the strongest anger can be calmed down by the commander.

That's right, as long as the commander is still around...

'Drip drip'

Li Zuoyi's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was Louise.

He said to Dorothy, "Excuse me, I'm going to take this call. I'll be right back."

Dorothy nodded, indicating that everything was fine on her end.

Li Zuoyi walked a little further away to answer the phone.

While Dorothy was waiting, she saw Little Red Riding Hood sneaking out from behind the statue.

"What's wrong?" Dorothy asked, noticing that she was constantly observing the commander's movements.

“This…” Little Red Riding Hood, having confirmed that Li Zhi would be back in a while, looked at Dorothy and asked, “If, I mean if, she has actually already had relations with other women…”

She didn't continue speaking because she saw that Dorothy's expression remained normal.

"So what?" Dorothy's face showed a confident look.

Nihilista wasn't without her past with him; she even witnessed the whole thing. But so what? That past experience doesn't matter.

Moreover, Isabel also frequently harasses the Commander. If she really cared about everything, she would have been driven crazy long ago.

Unless... some brat deliberately shows off in front of her.

Moreover, she was confident that once the commander got to know her completely, he would be attracted to her and abandon those tasteless women.

"Dorothy...aren't you angry?" Little Red Riding Hood felt like she didn't recognize Dorothy at all. She used to be so petty, always frowning when she saw her getting close to the Commander.

"No, not at all."

"Uh—you like him, don't you?" Little Red Riding Hood pointed at Li Zhi, who was still on the phone.

“That’s right,” Dorothy readily admitted.

"Is that so? I understand." Since Dorothy didn't care, Little Red Riding Hood stopped worrying and just supported her.

Now it depends on Anies and Louise's attitude.

If both of them give up, then she won't have to worry about who to support.

……

As evening approached, Dorothy, despite Barbie Taki's urging, still didn't want to leave. She chose to stay overnight at the outpost and planned to have the commander take her to see the Ark the next day.

Barbie Taki had no choice but to ask her superiors for permission before leaving.
