Chapter 182
The headquarters of the medical department of Liukasao is on the twelfth floor, where there are the most advanced medical equipment and the best doctors and nurses on the entire spacecraft. Because they are close to the Pillars of Creation for many years, the doctors here have seen countless strange diseases, and often invite medical experts from outside, such as Shan Antai, to come for exchanges and learning. Their medical skills have been honed to be extremely outstanding, and they are quite famous in the entire Milky Way Interstellar Alliance. Some people even cross hundreds of light years to seek medical treatment.
Although there is a hospital on the 13th floor where the Supervisory Department is located, the medical staff stationed there are of average quality and can only treat minor illnesses that cannot be cured by ordinary treatment devices. In case of serious illness, medical experts have to be invited from the 12th floor to treat, and the medical expenses required are also very high.
But all this has nothing to do with the General Administration of Supervision. When Todd needs it, the twelfth floor will naturally provide him with the best medical conditions.
When Rong Yuan came to find Todd, he saw several doctors walking together, discussing Todd's condition with a serious look on their faces, as if the patient had some difficult and serious illness. In fact, the guy just had a few ribs broken and his internal organs injured. Under normal circumstances, such an injury would not even qualify for their help.
When they arrived outside Todd's ward, they saw a beautiful woman who gave people a sense of capability and shrewdness walking out of the room. When she saw Rong Yuan, who was wearing the uniform of the Supervisory Department, she nodded and walked past him.
This woman...
Rong Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at her back, as if thinking about something.
Walking into the ward, Rong Yuan saw Tao De unconsciously rubbing the water cup with his fingers, looking very worried. After Rong Yuan came in, it took a long time before he slowly said, "Did you see that woman just now?"
"Um."
"Her name is Mai, and she is Mapu's most trusted subordinate." Todd sneered, "She came to convey Mapu 's intention. He was very dissatisfied with the previous actions of the Supervision Department. He warned me not to touch the Fighting Department again, and as a punishment, half of the Supervision Department's funding will be cut in the second half of the year, and the Supervision Department's authority in the Ochi system will also be restricted."
"oh."
"Isn't it ridiculous? In the past, I was blinded by my own blindness and always thought that I was the person he trusted the most. But now..." He couldn't hide his sadness and said, "Now I understand that in their eyes, I am just a tool... just a dog. There is no question of trust. When they are useful, they give you a bone; when they are not happy, they whip you."
There was a conflict between the Supervision Department and the Fighting Department. Although the Fighting Department suffered a loss, the fault lay with Yin Mu's credulity and recklessness. It was true that the Supervision Department killed many people from the Fighting Department, but the people they killed had many problems themselves.
Even if those people were working for Mapu, wasn't Todd working for them? Although Todd had a bad reputation in the outside world, he actually didn't seek much personal gain for himself. Everything he enjoyed was what he was entitled to as the Director General of the Supervision Department. But now, in Mapu's view, those people were right, and Todd was wrong?
He is really sad now.
Todd always thought that since he already knew the truth of the past and decided to take revenge on Mapu and Liuka, they were his sworn enemies and he could hate and take revenge on them without any burden.
But now, after feeling the pain and loss in his heart, he realized that he was not as hard-hearted as he thought. He had hatred, resentment and resentment towards Mapu in his heart, but also love and respect. For many years, Mapu had always been a father figure in Todd's heart. How could he just let go of the feelings that had accumulated over time?
But at this moment, Todd felt that his heart was really cold.
Rong Yuan knew that although Todd might feel that being treated like this was aggrieved and unfair, even if he opened his heart, the superiors would often trust people like Yin Mu more. This was determined by the differences in intelligence, temperament, character and ability between the two parties, and had no necessary connection with their actual loyalty.
But from another perspective, isn't it another kind of abnormal trust that Mapu can treat the two people so openly? He is sure that even if Todd is wronged, Todd will swallow the grievance himself and will not do anything that is detrimental to Liukasao.
But there was no need to say these words to make Todd uncomfortable. Rong Yuan just asked, "Did they not find any flaws?"
"Don't worry, I can control myself." Todd wiped his face, suppressed the emotions that had just come up, and said seriously: "By the way, the General Assembly will be held in a week. Then we will find a way to control Mapu."
Rong Yuan nodded and said, "What are you going to do about the thirteenth floor?"
Todd was stunned for a moment and asked, "...what should we do?"
Rong Yuan looked at him and said, "On the thirteenth floor, there are all the families of your subordinates - children, women, and the elderly, a total of more than a thousand people. When we deal with Mapu, if there is a slight negligence and the enemy passes on the news, these people will probably be the first to suffer misfortune. And your Supervision Department ... has always been located on the bomb pile. Mapu only needs one order, and they will all be killed in an instant. Don't you think about them?"
"This..." Todd understood Rong Yuan's meaning. He hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, "But the families of the Supervisory Department are all placed here for both protection and surveillance. If I temporarily transfer them, it will definitely arouse Mapu's vigilance, and there is a high probability that our operation will fail."
Rong Yuan looked at him and didn't want to talk.
Todd glanced at him and hurriedly said, "Of course, it is common for some individuals to temporarily leave the thirteenth floor and go to other floors. It will not attract extra attention. So if you have any close relatives, you can arrange for them to leave in advance in the name of travel. I can prepare a few fake identities for them and send people to protect them."
Rong Yuan naturally had to make arrangements for Muter, but Todd said these words just to please him, and it was not what he really wanted to hear.
Todd's scalp tingled when he was looked at by him. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this. In five days, I will ask the school to arrange a three to five-day study tour. Let the teachers take the children to visit various factories, hospitals, and schools on other floors of the ship. When they come back, whether it is good or bad, everything on our side will be over. As for the others...if something unfortunate really happens, they can only blame their bad luck."
Rong Yuan was silent for a moment and nodded.
He knew that Todd had other options, such as the firepower deployment near the passageway of the Supervisory Department. Todd had been the Director General of the Supervisory Department for nearly thirty years. Could it be that he really had no way to control these things? If he just made them temporarily ineffective before the action, it would not be difficult for Todd. He just didn't want to increase the risk of failure for his actions, so he let his subordinates and their families fall into danger.
Rong Yuan didn't have to rely on Todd to do anything, he just wanted to confirm once again whether this man's character was really so ruthless.
The capable woman Mai quickly returned to the seventeenth floor.
Mapu had just come out of the pool after a swim, and now he was sitting on the side with his upper body naked, tasting wine. A dozen young men and women in servant uniforms were quietly serving around him, some were wiping utensils, some were constantly serving snacks and drinks, and some were massaging Mapu's feet.
There were three or five men and women playing in the swimming pool, and a dozen people chatting or resting around. These people were upper-class people at the top of the food chain in Liukasao. A casual word they said here might determine the fate of countless people.
Mai stood in a far corner, silently lowering her eyes.
A well-maintained middle-aged man who looked like he was in his early thirties walked up to Mai with two wine glasses, standing at a distance that was slightly intimate but not annoying, and handed one of the glasses of wine to her, saying with a smile: "Little Mai, why are you standing here alone? Come and have a drink with everyone?"
"Thank you, Lord Baili, but I don't like drinking." Mai said coldly.
"That's right, this isn't wine, it's just a drink with a little bit of alcohol in it, just right for you girls to drink." Baili Yun took a step closer and said with a slight smile: "Or... am I not even qualified to buy you a drink?"
"Master Baili, you are joking." Mai glanced at him, took the wine glass, drank it all, and then said, "I still have some work that Master Mapu has given me to complete. I'll excuse myself first."
"Oh, oh, okay." Baili Yun said blankly, holding the wine glass.
The drink in the cup was not the women's drink with "only a little bit of alcohol" as he said, but a strong liquor with a high concentration. Even a veteran in the drinking world like Baili Yun had to sip it bit by bit before he could drink it slowly.
He gave this wine to Mai because he wanted to see her drink it without knowing it. Normally, she would cough hard and even stain her clothes and makeup. Then Baili Yun could accompany her to change clothes and put on makeup again in the name of apology. Maybe something could happen in the empty room. But he didn't expect that someone could drink a large glass of this wine without any reaction.
After the party, the servants were still cleaning up downstairs. Mapp returned to the study and saw Mai waiting there.
"Sir." Mai said respectfully.
"Yeah." Ma Pu nodded, took a hangover pill, and then said, "I saw you and Bai Liyun together before. What did you talk about?"
Thinking of that person just now, Mai couldn't help but frowned in disgust and said, "It was just a boring chat."
Ma Pu smiled and said, "Half of Baili Yun's IQ is used to seduce women, otherwise he would have achieved more than this. How did Todd react when you met him today?"
Mai didn't say anything, but reached out and touched her left eye. The seemingly ordinary eye seemed to have been stripped of a layer of disguise in an instant. Layers of extremely sophisticated mechanical structures were intertwined and transformed in it. A beam of blue light was projected from it onto the open space in the middle, completely presenting the process before and after Mai and Todd's meeting today.
The last scene stops at the moment when Mai Yi goes out and passes by Rong Yuan.
"Who is this person?" Mapp asked with a frown.
Todd didn't know that all the information of the 280 people in the Supervision Department was in Mapu's mind. He could tell any one of them's name, appearance, background, resume, work style, etc. Therefore, the moment he saw Rong Yuan, he knew that this young man in the Supervision Department uniform was not any of the inspectors he knew before.
Mai had obviously looked up information before, and immediately said, "This is Muzhe, who originally lived on the third floor. His mother's name is Muter, and his father's identity is unknown. He graduated from the technical school on the third floor eight years ago and ran away from home. It is said that he joined a certain organization and went out to hang out. He returned a month ago and joined the maintenance department through the introduction of Xi Zhenhai, an employee of the maintenance department. He behaved normally during his work. Later, when Lord Todd was assassinated, he fell to the second floor together. Because he helped Lord Todd during that time, he was specially recruited to join the Supervision Department."
"A newcomer?" asked Mapp.
"Yes." Mai said, "There is no problem with his identity. Joining the Supervisory Department was accidental. After verification, it is true. But the situation during the eight years of adventure in the outside world is unknown."
After being polished by Alpha and Todd, Rong Yuan's identity and experience are more real than the real thing. Even the records of the spaceship he took when he came to Liukasao were forged without any flaws. After some psychological hints, the passengers who traveled with him would also believe that this person really existed, and the surveillance along the way had also been processed. Therefore, although Mai looked very detailed, she did not find any obvious flaws.
Mapp nodded and said, "Play the previous video again."
He watched the conversation between Todd and Mai twice in a row, his brows furrowed the entire time, as if there was something he couldn't figure out.
"Did you notice anything wrong when you met him?" asked Mapp.
"No." Mai shook her head and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No." Mapp thought for a moment and then said, "But... there seems to be some problems."
"What?" Mai checked the video frame by frame, but still couldn't find the reason why Mapu cared so much.
"Feelings." Mapp said matter-of-factly. He squinted his eyes and said, "Check all of Todd's recent information in detail."
"……yes."
