Chapter 12 is lost, isn't it?
On the other end of the video call was a very handsome man.
His face was like jade, his eyes like bright stars, his nose like a hanging gall, his eyebrows like ink... It seemed that all the words used to praise his appearance could be piled up on him.
He leaned back lazily in his chair, seemingly casually fiddling with something in his hand off-camera.
The silver uniform was tightly cinched at the waist, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist in an inverted triangle shape, exuding a strong and capable aura even through the clothes; however, the top three buttons, which should have been properly fastened, were now undone, revealing a small section of his pale collarbone.
His slightly wavy black hair, which should have been neatly tucked into his military cap, now had a few strands casually falling across his forehead.
He was like a sharp blade sheathed in its sheath, but his carefree and unrestrained temperament softened that edge.
"Speak, what is it?"
His lips curled slightly upwards, seemingly in a smile, but it sent a chill down the spine of the person watching on video.
"Boss, it's like this..."
Luo Feng said with a fawning expression, "Didn't we encounter a space pirate ship that crashed on planet J2M511? Now the only survivor on the ship has woken up."
"But I don't know if she hit something when the spaceship crashed, but she seems to have lost her memory. She doesn't even remember who she is, let alone what happened on the spaceship."
"If you have amnesia, go see the team doctor."
The man on the other end of the video call looked up. "Why did you call me? Do you want me to give you a consultation? Or do you want me to reimburse your medical expenses?"
"The team doctor has examined her and said that the conditions here are not suitable for effective treatment. If she is to regain her memory, the best course of action is to return to the Imperial Star."
"You want to bring her back with you?" The man opposite Luo Feng understood the subtext in his words.
Luo Feng nodded shamelessly, "After all, she's just recovered from serious injuries and has lost her memory, so we can't send her home. Leaving her here is pointless, as this is a garbage planet, not suitable for survival. Plus, she's an important witness, so I was thinking..."
"When did you become so kind?" The tone on the other end was cold.
"Okay, actually I want to figure out what happened to these space pirates," Luo Feng honestly explained. "Because I've never seen wounds on these space pirates before, I'm worried that they might be some kind of interstellar creature we don't know about..."
"A wound?" The man on the other end of the video call finally stopped fiddling with the object. "What kind of wound?"
He had been busy exterminating space pirates for the past few days and only returned from the front lines yesterday.
The deputy promptly handed over the documents, "Boss, these are the photos Luo Feng sent over earlier."
The man took it and flipped through it.
"The wound does look a bit strange."
To be precise, it's eerie.
It didn't seem to be made by any creature they knew. Nor did it seem to be made by human weapons.
"Then when you come back, take the person with you..." Regardless of whether the survivor has any problems, keeping the person under your watchful eye makes it easier to monitor and question them.
"Alright!" Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly seized the opportunity: "Boss, when can I come back?"
He let out a pitiful wail: "I'm so bored I'm going to grow mold here!"
"Free?" The man opposite me raised an eyebrow slightly. "What's wrong? Not having fun with the game anymore?"
"Boss, I'm going to make amends!" Luo Feng shouted. "I've found a game that consumes a lot of mental energy!"
"Oh?"
"It's true, boss! The team medic can vouch for me! I only played one game, and my mental strength dropped by over 1!"
Upon hearing the figure of "over 1," the man opposite him dropped his nonchalant expression. "Are you serious?"
"Really! It's definitely the real boss! I'm already in this situation, how could I dare to lie to you!"
The man opposite him remained silent, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, under Luo Feng's expectant gaze, he slowly spoke: "If you lie... then you'll be in charge of all the patrols in the star systems we're responsible for."
Luo Feng's eyes lit up completely.
Although the boss didn't explicitly tell him to go back, his final words were tantamount to agreeing to his request.
"No problem!" Luo Feng readily agreed.
……
"Boss, you've finally agreed to let Luo Feng come back..."
Having watched the whole thing, the deputy standing to the side said with a smile, "He's been 'exiled' for so long this time, he's probably nearing his limit."
Li Xingzhuo hummed in agreement and hung up the video call.
"By the way, boss..." the deputy continued, "there's something I need to ask your opinion on."
"The Jiang family in the capital suddenly reported that their heir has gone missing."
"The Jiang family of Dixing?" Li Xingzhuo turned his head in surprise. "How did they find our way here?"
He had never had a good impression of these aristocratic families. Of course, these aristocratic families reciprocated in kind, showing no goodwill towards their First Legion either.
Normally, everyone keeps to themselves, so when these aristocratic families have something to do, they prefer to seek help from the Seventh and Eighth Legions, with whom they have good relations.
Why did they suddenly approach them this time?
"It seems that the Jiang family heir encountered space pirates on his way back and then disappeared. It is said that the location where he disappeared is in the star system under our legion's jurisdiction. I checked, and that location is right near the star J2M511 where Luo Feng is located."
"laugh."
Li Xingzhuo scoffed without any politeness, "A high-sounding excuse."
"Boss, we still need to..."
"Just going through the motions..."
Li Xingzhu lazily propped his head up with his hand: "By the way, isn't Luo Feng coming back? Send a starship to pick him up, and make it look like we've already searched the area."
"Okay, boss. And the information on the Jiang family heir..."
Li Xingzhuo slightly lifted his eyelids, casually glanced at the documents his deputy had brought over, and said nonchalantly, "Find a trash can..."
"Just throw it away..."
