The First Interstellar Energy Gambler

“Wait where you are, we’ll be there soon!”

“Team leader!”

“Obey orders!” Who knew if this was a trick by those people. If Gu SiYan went downstairs alone, they would likely grab him as a hostage. If that happened, then the situation would only become much more complicated.

“Yes…” Although Gu SiYan was reluctant, he still had to obey Xing Mo’s orders.

Xing Mo and the others rushed to the lower second floor as fast as they could where they did indeed hear the sounds of fierce fighting.

“Go!” Xing Mo activated his energy shield and rushed to the front of the team.

In the lower third floor, two groups of people were fighting fiercely, or to be more precise, Li Tian was fighting with the five fugitives while one fugitive was lying on the ground in a nebulous state of life or death.

Li Tian’s energy gun has been knocked away from him, and he was solely being supported by the defensive capabilities of his battle suit. Otherwise, how could he fight the five of them for so long alone? However, despite the energy shield, he was still badly battered and bruised.

“Nobody move,” Xing Mo said loudly as he and the team members behind him raised the energy weapons in their hands.

The people who were fighting suddenly stopped.

Xing Mo raised his hand and motioned to the crewmen behind him to stop. Then he walked forward slowly and asked, “Li Tian, ​​why are you here?”

“Captain! I found someone invaded our system and felt something was wrong, so I went down to take a look and found that they had escaped. I wanted to stop them, so…”

“Bullshit!” He Ling suddenly interrupted Li Tian’s words and said with a shadow of a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth, “This kid is our employer’s person. He came just to let us go, but once he saw his tracks were exposed, he wanted to kill us Lao Zis again to silence us. If it weren’t for Lao Zi’s vigilance, by the time, you came down I’m afraid you would have only seen Lao Zi’s corpse!”

“He’s talking nonsense! Captain, you can’t believe what he said!” Li Tian shouted anxiously.

“Arrest them all.” Xing Mo didn’t bother to talk nonsense and directly ordered the team members to arrest everyone.

“Captain?” Li Tian looked at Xing Mo in shock.

Xing Mo didn’t bother to pay attention to him whatsoever, put them all in shackles, and escorted them back to the confinement room as a group, including Li Tian.

“Captain! Captain I was wronged! Captain, listen to my explanation…” Li Tian was still shouting persistently, but unfortunately no one paid him any attention.

The fugitive who fell to the ground had been confirmed as dead. He was shot through the head from behind. It seemed that what He Ling had said about how Li Tian saw something was wrong and wanted to kill them all in order to protect himself was true.

As he had finally caught the black sheep hiding in the team, Xing Mo was very satisfied.

Without a rotten apple to spoil things for the team, the remainder of the return journey was very smooth.

In the evening three days later, their patrol ship arrived at the Capital Planet. The military department had specially arranged people to escort the wanted criminals and Li Tian.

Li Tian was unwilling and wanted to argue, but there was simply no one prepared to listen to his blathering. The infrared monitor installed by Xing Mo outside the confinement room had recorded the entire process of Li Tian opening the door of the room and taking the fugitives away. It could be said that the evidence was conclusive and indisputable.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Li Tian was even more contemptible than those killers. Although he didn’t take part personally in the assassination, he betrayed his teammates for profit, single-handedly facilitated the incident, and sent his own teammates to their deaths. Li Tian’s hands were also stained with their blood.

Betrayal was a completely unforgivable thing for soldiers who demanded absolute loyalty. His fate after being brought back to the military headquarters could be imagined.

“You’ve worked hard!” Lieutenant General Cheng Nuo, who was in charge of escorting the criminals, extended his hand towards Xing Mo as he spoke.

“It’s not hard work; it’s simply what I should have done.” Xing Mo also stretched out his hand, neither overly humble nor arrogant.

The two shook hands gently, then got into the suspended vehicle headed towards the military headquarters. This incident also required Xing Mo to submit a written report and add some details about the incident. Gu SiYan also got into the car with them. Although it was certain that he was innocent, this incident was still related to his family, so he still needed to cooperate with the investigation.

The five surviving fugitives were all felons who had been wanted by the empire for many years. They had been committing crimes for many years, and it wasn’t until this time that they were finally captured. Therefore, the military attached great importance to them.

After a whole night of intensive interrogation, the military department finally got the information they wanted.

It really was Gu ChangYing who had hired them to kill. Other than the first time, there were multiple families involved with him. It was these families who had sheltered them for many years, allowing them to escape the Imperial Military’s pursuit. In exchange, they became the weapons of these families in order to eradicate their enemies.

The military department immediately ordered the arrest of Gu ChangYing and the other involved parties in each of the implicated families.

The military department didn’t cover up the arrests in the slightest and even deliberately held a press conference to disclose the truth of the matter to the public so that the people could see the true colors of these so-called elite and noble families.
