Yue Zhan subconsciously took the little prince into his arms, he didn't speak, but couldn't help but tighten his arms.
Ino rubbed against his heart and whispered, "I will definitely not leave you and go to Haiguo alone. If there is a day when you really need to go, we will definitely go together."
Yue Zhan raised his hand and pressed it lightly on his head, his eyes were gentle, like ice and snow turning into spring water.
"Okay." His voice was hoarse, but his tone was soft and firm, "If Your Highness wants to go, one day, I will take your Highness there."
"Yeah." Ino An Xin nestled in his arms, completely believing that he had this strength.
But neither of them realized that this kind of thing cannot be flagged casually.
The next day, Xie Qingran called and asked Ino about the details of the case at the Desolate Star Base.
This case is about to be tried in the Interstellar Court. After Xie Qingran became a member of parliament, he happened to be in charge of sorting out the materials in this regard.
The two made an appointment to meet at a guild hall. Yue Zhan had a meeting at the military headquarters, but was unable to accompany him. To be cautious, he asked several guards to accompany him to protect him.
Ino also has guards himself, and he frowned subconsciously when he saw that he was going to take so many people with him.
Yue Zhan coaxed him and said, "Zhang Yu hasn't caught it yet. It's safer to bring more people."
Considering that he was still pregnant with Xiaoyubao, Ino nodded and agreed.
After meeting in the hall, Ino handed all the prepared documents to Xie Qingran, frowned and said, "I gave most of these documents to the council, but you didn't get them?"
Xie Qingran opened it, looked at it, shook his head and said, "I only got half of it, and the other half is said to have been accidentally lost."
"Can this be lost?" Ino frowned and reminded him, "I'm afraid someone is with the forces behind the Desolate Star Base."
Xie Qingran nodded and said, "I think so too. Fortunately, His Highness has a backup."
Ino waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. At that time, the evidence was collected by people from the Third Army. The original version is in the Third Army. There are as many copies as you want. By the way, I will also give you Hosit's contact information. He was a witness, and he will also testify in court at that time, so he must know more secrets."
Xie Qingran's eyes lit up and quickly said, "Then thank you, Your Highness."
"It's nothing, if you can dig out the forces behind them, you're actually helping me." Ino pointed out.
After finishing speaking, he directly contacted Hossett and introduced Xie Qingran to the other party.
The three of them had the same goal and quickly started talking.
Hosit was escorted directly to the Desolate Star Base, blindfolded the whole time. If he wanted to talk about the crimes of the Desolate Star Base, he could count them one by one, but he really had no clue if he wanted to investigate the forces behind them.
However, according to his recollection, some of the materials transported to the Desolate Star Base will be printed with the "eco" logo, and the people at the base will find them and destroy them immediately.
"eco? Economic organization?" Xie Qingran asked subconsciously.
Hossett shook his head, expressing that he did not understand.
Ino felt as if he had some impressions, and suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll call my grandfather."
After speaking, he got up and went to the cubicle.
The old duke received the call, and after listening to what he said, he suddenly fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
Ino felt a little strange and asked subconsciously, "What's the matter, Grandpa?"
The old duke's voice was a little heavy, and he asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask this? Did you remember something?"
Ino's expression is a little dazed, has he forgotten anything
"It's not that I don't want to tell His Highness, but... This is related to a memory that His Highness lost. I'm afraid to say it, in case His Highness remembers that incident... and is frightened again." The old duke hesitated, "You were still young, You are only ten years old, and your mental state is not very good after being frightened. You only need to ask a psychiatrist to intervene to make you forget it and gradually get better."
And this thing
Ino was even more curious and said, "Then you should tell me more. I was young at that time, but now that I have grown up, my tolerance has definitely become stronger."
After hearing this, the old duke shook his head and said, "No, I can only say that unless Yue Zhan is next to you."
Ino is helpless, Yue Zhan is in a meeting, how can I disturb him
He had to tell the old duke his true purpose, and said, "If I don't destroy the forces behind the Desolate Star Base, I will not be safe."
Of course, he hasn't said that he is a mermaid, only that he has offended those forces, and the other party will definitely not let him go.
The old duke had also seen the cruel photos of the Desolate Star Base circulating on the Internet, and he couldn't help but sighed and said, "In that case, call them over and I'll talk about it together."
The call must not come, and Hosit is also a holographic caller, and he is not actually present.
Ino went out wearing the terminal and said to Xie Qingran and Hossett, "My grandfather knows."
Xie Qingran and Hossett looked up, and when they saw the holographic figure of the old duke, they stood up together and called out, "Hello, old gentleman."
The old duke waved his hands, motioned them to sit down, and said, "You don't know that eco is normal. You are all too young, and the family is not involved in this..."
The two listened patiently, and soon understood that the old duke was a euphemism.
As Xie Qingran guessed, eco is indeed an economic organization in name, but not in reality.
This is an organization that has existed for nearly a thousand years. It was originally a club organized by several wealthy nobles and lords. They come from different countries and organizations. The only thing they have in common is that they are all very rich and powerful, and some are even rich enough to rival the country.
"Their initial idea was to dilute the boundaries between countries, make trade more free, and make money from all over the world. When they were first established, they grew rapidly, and at one point even threatened the rule of the country, and were quickly outlawed by these countries. organize."
"After being besieged and suppressed several times, they gradually kept a low profile, but occasionally they recruited some powerful members. The Derain family was also recruited when they were at their peak."
A few people were stunned when they heard the words. Does this mean that the old duke was once a member of this organization
The old duke nodded, affirmed their guesses, and said: "Actually, from the empire to the federation, to various star thieves organizations, and even some small countries, they all have their members. Some newly rising upstarts won't listen. Speaking of this organization, those great nobles and great lords with four or five hundred years of history have basically joined."
"However, this is only the periphery. If you want to enter the core, you have to be more powerful. I only came into contact with some cores when the Derain family was at its peak, and it was then that I knew the real purpose of this organization's existence. ."
Speaking of this, the old duke couldn't help shaking his head, his expression a little unbearable.
"When this organization was first established, it was not to promote trade, but to... raise funds and study mermaids. Those notorious cases of murdering mermaids six or seven hundred years ago were committed by them, and therefore, Haiguo Only after launching a war with the outside world, and then disappearing inexplicably, the mermaid also disappeared."
"However, although the mermaid no longer exists, this organization's enthusiasm for researching mermaids has never subsided. They believe that mermaids can live forever and have incomparably powerful powers. I felt that they were abnormal in my early years, so I tried to withdraw. But Unexpectedly, they have become more and more crazy in recent years, and they are actually conducting such experiments directly at the Desolate Star Base..."
After listening to the old duke talking about the situation, several people's hearts were heavy.
Knowing that Ino and the others wanted to investigate, the old duke did not hesitate to hand over some of the information he knew and some of the evidence collected in his early years to them.
"It's a pity that my status in the organization was not high enough at that time, and I didn't know who the top executives were. The Coman family was also in the organization, but I was defeated by Scott and I together." The old duke said again.
Ino had an impression of this name, as if it was the nobleman his father wanted to marry in the first place.
After Xie Qingran and Hossett heard the situation, they soon said goodbye and hung up the call.
After they were gone, Ino asked the old duke again, "What does this organization have to do with my memory loss?"
The old duke was angry when he mentioned this, and said angrily: "It's still those lunatics, and I don't know where I heard the rumors. It's not that Derain knows any mermaid princess, so he wants to arrest her and ask her, and also implicates His Highness, so that His Highness is also arrested. Kidnapping. Speaking of which, Yue Zhan saved His Highness that time."
Ino looked surprised, feeling as if he had no impression at all.
"At that time, the kidnapper's ship was about to explode. It was Yue Zhan who drove the mecha and rushed in in time to carry you out. After a few seconds, the ship really exploded. Yue Zhan was driving the mecha and had to protect him. His Royal Highness, I heard that he suffered a serious injury, and his spiritual power was seriously damaged..."
Ino was stunned, he seemed to... dreamed of such a picture.
It turns out that it was because of this that Yuezhan couldn't drive the mecha? Wasn't that when he was just out of the military academy, when he was in high spirits, he suffered such a serious blow? But he later became a good commander...
Ino sniffed, and suddenly felt a little choked in his throat.
The old duke noticed his abnormality and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ino shook his head and said, "He never told me about it."
After a pause, he said, "Isn't it because I made him unable to drive the mecha?"
The old duke was dumbfounded, and after a moment hesitantly said: "Yeah, shouldn't it? He also drove a mecha on the front line for a long time, maybe two or three years, before he completely changed command."
Ino thought in his heart that the old injury must have never been healed, and he was driving the mecha with high intensity on the front line, which made the situation more and more serious, and finally transferred to the command ahead of schedule.
With sourness in his heart, after hanging up the call with the old duke, he couldn't help but want to call Yue Zhan, but he was afraid of disturbing the other party's meeting.
After struggling for a while, he simply got up and planned to go directly to the Space Force headquarters and wait.
Who knows, just after leaving the clubhouse, Yue Zhan called him.
The corners of Yinuo's lips couldn't help curling up, her tone couldn't hide her happiness, and she asked, "Have you finished the meeting?"
"Yeah." Yue Zhan nodded, his voice very soft, and asked, "Are you in a good mood?"
"Guess." Ino couldn't help but want to get tired of him.
He suddenly felt that he was not embarrassed at all, but felt sweet.
Yue Zhan chuckled and asked directly, "What interesting thing happened?"
"I know something that happened a long time ago." Ino said, thought for a while, and then asked a little nervously: "Did you... After saving me in that kidnapping case, you can't drive the mecha?"
"How could it be?" Yue Zhan was surprised when he heard the words, afraid that he would have a psychological burden, so he hurriedly explained: "Nothing, after that, I drove mechas on the front line for three years..."
"But it's normally open for five years." Ino said, "Is it that the injury that you suffered has never healed?"
Just as Yue Zhan was about to say "no", he heard the little prince say seriously, "Don't lie to me."
Yue Zhan was silent, and after a while he admitted softly, "Yes."
Afraid that the little prince would be burdened by his heart, he quickly explained: "But don't think too much about it, it's because I didn't take care of myself well, and after that, I had to drive at a high intensity, which made it more and more serious. In fact, it wasn't that serious at the beginning..."
But in Eno's ears, this is what coaxes him. He hesitated for a while and whispered, "Why haven't you told me?"
Yue Zhan keenly caught a hint of choking in his voice, he was silent, and suddenly coaxed softly: "Actually, I have now found a cure."
"What way?" Ino asked expectantly with wide eyes.
Yue Zhan coughed lightly, his voice was hoarse, and coaxed: "As long as His Highness is... coughing, you can hum a little more."
Ino: "..."
He was stunned for a while, and didn't understand what Yue Zhan was talking about. When he understood, his face immediately blushed, and he said angrily, "I'm talking to you about business, so be serious!"
Yue Zhan couldn't help laughing, pretending to be innocent, and said seriously: "I'm serious, have you forgotten, Your Highness? Your voice can really relieve the headache caused by mental damage..."
"But what does that have to do with calling, calling... the boat?" Ino stuttered a little with anger.
He kindly cared about Yue Zhan, but the other party actually ghs with him.
In fact, Yue Zhan just wanted to pull him out of his guilt. After the goal was achieved, in order to prevent him from continuing to get angry, he hurriedly started pretending to have a headache again.
When Yinuo heard this, he really forgot to be angry, and asked nervously: "Does it hurt so bad? Is there a treatment cabin in your office? Oh, by the way, there is a hospital next door..."
"His Royal Highness," Yue Zhan suddenly interrupted him and said faintly, "You are my medicine."
What doctor do I need to see
Ino: "..."
His face turned red again, and he glanced at the guards behind him, afraid that they would hear him, and finally he whispered, "Then I... hum a song for you?"
"Yeah." Yue Zhan nodded, with a successful smile in his eyes.
Ino hummed quickly. It was a military song that everyone in the Empire was familiar with.
Yue Zhan's heart gradually calmed down, he listened to the soft humming on the other end of the phone, and suddenly... he especially wanted to see the little prince.
He simply got up, packed his things, and got ready to get off work.
He was going to pick up the little prince and give him a surprise.
But just as he walked in front of the hovering car, there was a sudden noise on the other end of the phone, and then a guard shouted, "Quick, protect His Highness."
