The information from Capital Star came back one night.

Adrian was woken up by the terminal's communication reminder, saw that the contact was Finn, and reached out to answer the communication.

"Boss, I just received a confirmation letter from the Capital Star." At two o'clock in the morning, Fein's voice sounded sober, "The information provided to us by the Special Commissioner, including the 'Glory Order', is indeed true. thing. Our artificial intelligence has really changed, and we are no longer satisfied with the status quo.”

Adrian was not surprised. In fact, the evidence presented by Zhong Yan when he arrived just now was convincing enough, but the matter was too big, and the deployment and plan of the entire Na'vi military region had to be adjusted accordingly. The personal confirmation was just for insurance.

"Okay, a meeting will be held tomorrow during the day."

"Understood. This is actually just to get a letter. I didn't call you to talk about that." Finn said, "The communication soldier who was in charge of keeping an eye on the Federation's news contacted me urgently. Just ten minutes ago, Le The weather has changed in Boxing District. The high-level members of the District Council, including the current chairman, have been convicted of crimes by 'Die' and are now in prison."

Adrian finally understood why Finn sounded so sober, and he immediately became jittery after listening to it, without any sleepiness at all.

"Guilty?" Adrian sat up from the bed and woke up completely, "What's the crime?"

"There are quite a lot of crimes. Those two are mainly corruption. The chairman of the parliament is not only corrupt, but also has long-term private use of public power."

"President of the council for private use, for a long time?" Adrian felt like he hadn't woken up. "The current councilor of the Lobo Sector? The one we know?"

The performance of the District Council in the Lobo star area was not satisfactory in the White Shield incident. To be precise, it was not as good as the capital star wanted. In the early stage, the district council had been arguing repeatedly with the capital star on the issue of the permanent residents of the White Shield Star, and it was delayed for a year. He closed his eyes and didn't even mobilize the resident troops in the Lobo star area to suppress it with force. He only said that he was threatened by the Na'vi military area, and he dared not act rashly due to the disparity in strength, waiting for the capital star to rescue him.

The distance between the capital star and the Na'vi star area is far away, and the long distance cannot quench the thirst. When the people from the capital star arrived, Na'vi's army had quickly occupied the White Shield star, and even redeployed the new border.

Only a few high-level members of the Na'vi military region knew that they never threatened the District Council of the Lobo Sector. The Lobo star district council opened its eyes and told nonsense. The army in the Na'vi star area acquiesced that the handover of the White Shield star was peaceful and fast, and there was no conflict. After that, the relationship between the two adjacent star areas has become much more harmonious invisibly. Therefore, in the past year, both parties were willing to tacitly sell each other's face when it came to the problems of the other's star sector.

Due to his identity, although Adrian has not directly contacted the chairman of the Le Boxing District Council, judging from the other party's behavior style, he should be a good official who is truly considerate of the people, and he has a good reputation among the people in the Le Boxing District. OK, and now...

"It's the one we know. Look at the news, it's the headlines now, and the public opinion has exploded. Some say he hides deeply, and some don't believe it." Fein said, "The next door has been blown up, and the other three are left. The high-ranking members of the lower ranks have temporarily become in charge, and I have seen photos of the scene, and troops have already appeared on the streets of their main star, and martial law may be imminent for a while."

Adrian said coldly: "It seems that Capital Star probably thinks that they are getting too close to us. Is the emergency department on standby?"

"Yes, the signalman sent them a warning before calling me."

"Pass my order, and now notify the border. If there are relevant personnel who have fled from the Lobo sector to the Na'vi sector, provide them with help. After entering the border, confirm their identity and contact the headquarters."

"Yes."

"Capital Star will definitely have follow-up actions. Now we will send more people to watch this matter, and ask the intelligence department to set up a team to investigate the situation. We will notify you now, before dawn."

"Yes."

Adrian explained a few more precautionary measures, and after hanging up Fein's communication, he opened the news interface. There is no need to search deliberately, the headlines have already been filled with this matter, the mainstream media have criticized the corruption of the chairman of the Le Boxing District Council—now the former chairman—and praised artificial intelligence for removing another cancer for mankind.

He had a nausea, and was flipping through the comments hastily, when there was a hasty knock on the bedroom door.

"Come in." Adrian said, it seemed that Zhong Yan had also received the news.

Sure enough, Zhong Yan said that this was the matter: "Do you know—oh, you're watching. I just received a notification from my assistant that an emergency roundtable meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon at Capital Star Standard Time to discuss What about the vacancy in the House?"

Zhong Yan was panting slightly, and seemed to be jogging upstairs, Adrian said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhong Yan pulled the chair beside his table and sat down. He was obviously woken up from his sleep. The pajamas were newly bought for him by Adrian. It seemed that he was well straightened after waking up, but his hair was forgotten. Take care of it, and now a black hair is messy on the top of the head.

He rarely appeared in such a slovenly manner, and Adrian glanced at it a few times calmly, and then asked, "Are you participating remotely?"

Zhong Yan shook his head and said, "I won't participate, but I will receive the results of the meeting as soon as possible afterwards. The official statement is that since I'm in poor health, I don't have to attend. After all, I'm in the Na'vi star area, within your sphere of influence , They are worried about monitoring, and they will definitely not let me directly participate in the meeting remotely. Just now, Mr. Art... "

When he said this, Adrian was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was calling him, but soon realized that Zhong Yan was talking about his grandfather Starben Yate.

"Mr. Art contacted me and was very dissatisfied with this matter. His original words were, 'I helped you to that position, it's not that you can't even attend the meeting!'" Zhong Yan laughed, "Lost Bayer, I'm not in Capital Star, his recent news is very lagging, and he's already starting to worry."

"Speaking of which," Adrian asked, "I'm curious, how will you explain this when you go back? You can tell him that you're 'injured', Bayer will not lie to his master, when the time comes my grandfather At least you will know that Bayer was not injured at all and was under house arrest by us."

Zhong Yan looked at him with wide eyes, looking a little surprised.

Even if it was not the right time, Adrian was still distracted for a while. Zhong Yan's face was originally small, and every time he opened his eyes, he would look younger, not to mention that he was wearing the pajamas that Adrian bought in a bad way - dark blue The starry sky style has a big beige rabbit printed on the front. In order to distinguish it from ordinary rabbits, this kind of cartoon pattern is usually paired with a starry sky as the background, implying that this is an interstellar giant rabbit.

With Zhong Yan in cartoon pajamas and messy hair, Adrian suddenly felt that he had returned to ten years ago, as if they were two seventeen-year-old boys chatting in the dormitory in the middle of the night, rather than two people in charge of each other. adult man.

"He already knows, I told him." The man who looked so innocent at the moment said in wonder, "You...you don't think I haven't contacted him for so many days, do you? I told him Bayer and I have been placed under house arrest separately by you, and I can't contact Bayer, so I don't know his situation."

Adrian: "…"

Obviously, it was the person in front of him who proposed to put Bayer under house arrest at the time, but now he has completely pushed it away. But no matter what aspect is considered, Zhong Yan really shouldn't break up with Staben now, it's not good for either side, and Adrian can only silently take the blame.

"You have been in touch, so you have been in Nawei for a few days, did he ask you about me?" Adrian asked.

"...I asked." The anger in Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, "I asked about your private life, and I also asked about my marriage contract."

"Oh, what did you say?"

"I did not say."

Judging from the information Adrian has on the capital star, at least it seems that Starben has a strong control over Zhong Yan, and Zhong Yan is almost obedient. He couldn't help asking: "You didn't say? This is disobedience, right? Wasn't he pissed off?"

"He's used to it." Zhong Yan said, after thinking for a while, he added, "It's not just him, everyone in the Supreme Council should be used to it."

Adrian just remembered that he had also seen Zhong Yan being asked about the "Gemini breakup incident" that was hotly discussed in the Federation in the interview once or twice. Whenever this happened, Zhong Yan would have no grace or skill. It can be said that he kept his mouth shut and resisted with silence. This move was interpreted by the public at the time as drawing a line with Adrian, who was in the anti-artificial intelligence camp, and did not want to mention the three years of close contact between the two.

"Your colleagues asked you the same in private?" Adrian asked, "Speaking of which they asked me, why do you never speak?"

"I don't want to talk about you with those people." Zhong Yan looked at him and said, "Especially I don't want to talk about you with your grandfather. Every time he mentions you, he is...unfriendly."

Unfriendly is too euphemistic a word. Adrian grew up beside Stauben. He knew his grandfather very well. Ever since he clarified his political stance, Stauben became furious and regarded him as a shame. He can't get involved in Xuefu Star and Na'vi Star District, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have taken compulsory measures to clean up the portal.

"You have been ignoring me. There was news in the first few years. Later, when you became a commander, the border of the Na'vi sector was closed. Sometimes I didn't hear from you for several months. At that time, I would also like to talk to someone about you."

Zhong Yan paused slightly, as if he felt that he shouldn't say such words, he looked away from Adrian's face, and said: "I... I should go back to my room. Hurry up and sleep, tomorrow will be sure. Gotta get busy…”

"I'm hungry." Adrian said suddenly.

Zhong Yan didn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

However, Adrian refused to continue. Zhong Yan stared at him blankly for two seconds, and then a burst of unbelievable ecstasy overwhelmed him. He carefully confirmed: "I still have leftovers from the ingredients I bought a few days ago. Let me serve you a bowl of noodles? You can’t sleep even if you’re hungry at night... okay?”

"Two bowls." Adrian said, "Eating alone is too boring."
