Chapter 220 The Eve of the Incident
"White Ghost's report has arrived on time again. The first official in the Imperial Star Circle to be reported was arrested this morning. The source of his huge fortune is unknown."
"There is still no sign of the official arrest warrant being withdrawn. Emotions among the people in various places are brewing. Demonstrations have broken out in more than a dozen administrative stars, demanding that the authorities respect citizens' right to report crimes."
"White Ghost is challenging the empire's monitoring mechanism!"
“Rather than a challenge, it is more of a supervision and supplement. The problems were not created by White Ghost, he just exposed them.”
"What is the background of those who oppose the White Ghost's reporting of corrupt officials, and whose mouthpiece are they?"
"We don't care who the White Ghost is. We only care whether the White Ghost can be respected by the authorities. He is us. He is us with more power."
…
Early in the morning, Yang Ming woke up in the top-floor suite of a hotel on Yaha Star. He casually scrolled through the morning news and politics to check on the results of his work last night.
The effect is pretty good.
A group of famous commentators are debating and arguing about this issue, but in essence they are just trying to attract traffic.
Lu was behind the scenes fanning the flames and guiding public opinion in a direction that was favorable to the White Ghost.
Yang Ming smiled with satisfaction, turned off the projection TV, walked to the mirror, stretched, and started his leisure time today.
The door of the small bedroom in the suite opened. 026 looked inside and then carefully went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for his boss.
She thought about it all night last night - if her boss got beastly and took advantage of her in the workplace, how should she refuse tactfully and keep their relationship pure.
But the door of the small bedroom was never opened.
This made 026 gradually fall into self-doubt, and whenever he had the chance to come into contact with a reflective mirror, he would look at himself carefully from left to right.
Is the cute style out of fashion?
Why is it that after being with the boss for so long, the boss is in an emotional vacuum and has not shown any interest in her?
"It's a mess."
Yang Ming, who was passing by, gave a simple reminder.
026 looked down at the frying pan and became flustered again.
Yang Ming shook his head and sat at the end of the long dining chair.
Lu's projection appeared at the side, wearing a mature secretary suit, and began to give the daily briefing.
At present, under the name of Molly Miss Mining Group, Lu has rented several mainframe computers and occupied a place in the network world of Yaha Star.
Some of the gray areas that Bligh controlled through mental control have been firmly controlled by Lu, and this has become the first benefit they have gained in the Sherman Empire's Star Circle.
"Report on Bligh's movements."
"He is outside of Yaha Star," Lu said softly, "He should still be carrying out the defense mission for Yaha Star's Fire Suppression Festival. Moreover, there is indeed a group of terrorists active on Yaha Star. More than ten actions they planned were discovered by the Empire in time, and they were all discovered by the Super Reformers."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.
Lu added: "According to Lu's latest monitoring, it is certain that the New Federal CIA has fully intervened in the White Ghost Wanted Order incident."
"What the hell?"
Yang Ming dropped the electronic newspaper and wondered, "Why is the CIA involved in this matter?"
"They are using their own information resources to help White Ghost speak up for justice," Lu said with a smile, "They are trying to use the incident of White Ghost being wanted to divide the officials and the people of the empire."
Yang Ming cursed: "This is really a group of flies."
Lu explained: "This is a good thing. No matter which angle you look at it from, it can help us expand our influence. On the other hand, it can help us pass the buck and attribute all the riots in various places to CIA conspiracies."
Yang Ming thought carefully.
026, wearing an apron, arrived at the table with a freshly prepared breakfast, showing off her outstanding talent as a maid.
Yang Ming thanked him and motioned for 026 to sit down and eat together, telling old employees not to be too distant.
"We still don't know the composition of the empire's top leaders," Yang Ming said. "Although Bligh has provided us with key information, we are still unsure at this stage whether White Ghost will be accepted by the top leaders."
Lu asked: "Will we continue to push forward the reporting plan?"
"If you report it twice more, we will suspend this matter. We can't push these imperial bureaucrats too hard."
Yang Ming tapped his fingers on the table and couldn't help but click his tongue:
"Can we find some bugs at this stage? It would be best to let the White Ghost show up and fight the Zerg to increase our influence.
"The Internet has a short memory. We cannot allow the constant exposure of corrupt officials to dilute the image of White Ghost Pesticide. This would be counterproductive."
Lu smiled and said, "There must be some Zerg burial sites within the empire, but the Zerg are too cunning. The continuous extermination of the Zerg has also triggered the Zerg's protection mechanism. It is indeed difficult to find them directly."
“Let the mining groups continue to take their chances.”
"Yes, boss... you still have an interview today," Lu reminded with a smile, "Whether you can become an excellent grassroots sheriff in the Imperial Star Circle depends on this interview today!"
Yang Ming's expression suddenly became a little tense.
He actually hates any kind of interview.
The network access terminal on the surface was constantly vibrating. Yang Ming opened it and took a look, motioned Lu to hide aside, and answered the call from Viscount Godoy Saka.
Because of the distance between star systems, there was a delay of about two seconds in the call.
"Oh, Hui! I passed the interview!"
"Congratulations," Yang Ming gave a thumbs up, "I was just about to go to the Public Security Bureau for an interview today."
"Haha! Don't worry, this is a very simple matter. I'm over 50 years old, and I still got a job offer as an engineer at a large shipbuilding company..."
Godoy's excitement rushed straight to Yang Ming through the screen.
Yang Ming calmly turned the topic to Mrs. Deli and carefully observed Godoy's expression to determine whether the uncle took the opportunity to express his aristocratic nature.
Originally, Lu and 026 were watching the 'father and son' chatting happily, but there seemed to be some information disturbance in Lu's thinking space, and the projection disappeared immediately.
"How have you been these days?" Godoy asked. "The last time I called you, it seemed like that girl answered the phone. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"That's my security captain."
Yang Ming sighed: "I just finished the previous matter, it's hard to explain in a few words."
Lu's projection appeared again and made a few gestures to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming understood: "Father, when are you going to return to Sakaar?"
"I've already booked tickets for Deli and the kids. Haha, you didn't expect that, did you?" Godoy winked at Yang Ming. "The Fire Suppression Festival is still a long way off. I plan to have them come over to play for a few days and celebrate my successful inauguration!"
Yang Ming reminded, "It's hard to book a hotel here. I'll help you get it later. Give me an exact time and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the space station."
"Don't bother. I'll be there with them the day after tomorrow."
"That's settled. I have some things to do here, so I'll be leaving soon to prepare for the interview."
"You go and do your work," Godoy said hurriedly, "Don't worry about me. Deli and I are both adults with rich social experience. We will take care of ourselves, don't worry."
call out.
Godoy shut down the communication.
Yang Ming looked at Lu and wondered, "What's the hurry?"
"This is a bit complicated to explain," Lu frowned and said, "According to the intelligence I intercepted from the CIA's internal network, the New Federation has launched a project called 'Ghost Flame', which aims to use white ghosts to intensify the conflicts between the officials and the people of the Sherman Empire in all aspects."
Yang Ming cursed: "These bastards really don't do their job properly, they have a lot of evil thoughts!"
"We must use White Ghost's identity to alert the Imperial officials," Lu explained. "If White Ghost actually becomes a pawn of the New Federation CIA, then the Imperial high-level officials will be completely disgusted with White Ghost, which runs counter to the direction we are working towards now."
Yang Ming thought carefully for a while and looked at the time. He still had some time before the interview.
"026, help me prepare the clothes. Lu, help me make an appointment with Lieutenant General Thomas," Yang Ming said, "Prioritize keeping the military's good impression."
"Yes, boss."
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
…
Contact with Lieutenant General Thomas was generally smooth.
The only thing Yang Ming was worried about was that the military would not take the intelligence he provided too seriously, but as long as he could spread the "White Ghost's Reminder", Yang Ming's goal would be achieved.
In addition, White Ghost's dedicated website also posted a notice to remind the citizens of the Sherman Empire to be careful of foreign forces taking advantage of the opportunity to hype up the issue.
What else can I do?
Yang Ming thought about it carefully and realized that unless he personally took action to remove some CIA agents, this was all he could do at this stage.
In the morning, a new round of carnival has begun on the streets of major cities on the planet Yaha.
Yang Ming changed into a sports shirt, carried a stylish square backpack, and put on a popular big-brand projection watch... This energetic young man embarked on his job search journey.
It was sunny outside the door, and on the street there were enthusiastic older sisters dancing happily. They were wearing fiery red dancing shoes, representing the traditional custom of stepping on fire.
A group of tourists enjoy free drinks, and their laughter and joy will continue until the moment they pick up the paid drinks.
Passing by a street full of floating water droplets, Yang Ming tried his best to avoid the water droplets affected by the magnetic field, but when he turned around, he was splashed in the face by the water guns of two naughty children...
The defense fleet outside the Yaha star is in the center, on the Stinger ship.
Bly, who was watching this scene through the surveillance video, couldn't help but laugh out loud, attracting the attention of his teammates.
"What are you doing?"
Catherine appeared behind Bligh and asked coldly.
Bly, who was leaning on the sofa, immediately sat up straight and smiled at Catherine: "Captain, I'm observing my friend."
"Give it to me," Katherine said, frowning.
Bly didn't resist at all and handed over the monitor with both hands.
Catherine took the monitor with a cold face and said coldly: "I will keep a close eye on you, Bly, and I will not believe any nonsense you say. If you do anything to harm others next time, I will destroy you at all costs."
"Okay, Captain," Bligh shrugged, "I'll be as good as a sheep."
"snort!"
Catherine took the monitor to the corner and adjusted the surveillance screen forward half a minute.
"Hahaha!"
She began to take great pleasure in prying into other people's lives.
The Yaha Star Public Security Dispatch Headquarters is equivalent to the Yaha Star Police Headquarters. That is the place where Yang Ming decided to try his luck.
If he could successfully enter the police system of the Imperial Star Circle, he would have a path for promotion.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t get in, they still have more backup options, the main one is to stay within the Imperial Star circle, and the closer to the Imperial Star the better.
It was the Fire Suppression Festival, and the security stations all over Yaha Star were very busy, especially the security headquarters.
Yang Ming arrived at a small meeting room under the reception of a special person. After waiting for two galaxies, the sheriff with whom he had an appointment still did not show up.
He played with the two coasters, and finally lay there and browsed the Internet out of boredom.
In the Stinger ship.
A certain super-modifier who had the authority to directly mobilize the entire planet's surveillance network frowned as he looked at the surveillance footage in the conference room.
Catherine couldn't help but mutter to herself: "It's really rude of them to leave a nobleman waiting there for so long."
Bligh, who was pretending to be passing by, whispered, "Do you want to punish them a little, Captain?"
"roll."
"Okay," Bly smiled and walked away in a circle.
Catherine thought about it, took out the communicator, and hesitated whether to help the famous detective.
"Captain Catherine, please join the online meeting."
“Here I come.”
Catherine responded, threw the monitor on the sofa, looked down at Yang Ming who was waiting bored in the conference room, and hurried to her work station.
The video conference started quickly, and seven or eight captains of the same level . The middle-aged woman that Yang Ming had secretly seen was responsible for presiding over the meeting.
"According to the intelligence obtained by the military , well, according to the intelligence given by White Ghost, there will inevitably be some large-scale riots during the upcoming Fire Suppression Festival, and the New Federation CIA will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
"We will send an additional special forces unit. Later, each team will directly lead dozens of special forces soldiers. Catherine, you will assign the most elite soldiers and make good use of their talents."
"Yes," Catherine saluted meticulously.
The female boss was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Did you put on eye shadow?"
"Yes sir!"
"The eyeshadow is nice, but your eyelashes are already very long, so there's no need to use false eyelashes. It will look a bit exaggerated. This kind of eye makeup is not suitable for you, darling. Okay, let's get back to business. I'll make the detailed arrangements."
…
After Catherine returned to the sofa, she picked up the monitor and used the specific object search function to find Yang Ming, who was walking on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets.
Catherine retrieved the previous surveillance footage of the conference room.
A simple interview just happened.
An old sheriff in a hurry pushed the door open and frowned upon seeing Yang Ming. He said, "I'll give you three minutes to prove that you are the talent our police station needs, the kind that can meet the qualifications for special recruitment without taking an exam."
“Here are my letters of recommendation and resume!”
Yang Ming immediately took out a thick stack of documents.
The old sheriff picked it up and glanced at it, then threw the document back and frowned.
“First, I don’t believe there are any famous detectives in this world. They are just products of star creation. Moreover, our police officers can directly solve the criminal cases that occur on this planet.
“Secondly, your noble status will put pressure on the ordinary police officers here.
"Third, who is the sheriff of Sakaar? Sorry, I have never heard of him."
After saying that, the old sheriff stood up, nodded to Yang Ming, opened the door and left the meeting room.
Yang Ming scratched his head, sighed dejectedly, and his originally tense shoulders relaxed.
Catherine pursed her lips and could only shake her head slightly when she saw this.
She adjusted the surveillance footage to the latest one and found that Yang Ming had adjusted his mindset. He followed the parade bus, tasting the free food, and his steps had become brisk again.
Catherine took out her communicator and found one of the contacts. She hesitated for a few minutes at Yang Ming's profile picture interface and sent a message:
[No one can succeed easily. This is how interviews work. If you try a few more times, you will eventually find a job that suits you.]
On the monitor, Yang Ming took out the network access terminal and took a few glances at it.
Catherine's communicator soon began to vibrate in succession.
【Are you spying on me? 】
[I didn't exchange contact information with you before, but you really unlocked my biometric lock! ]
[Oh my god, this is worse than failing the interview. My privacy has been violated by you! You need to compensate me! Financial compensation!]
Catherine: …
She just has the urge to do it!
Why bother with this guy!
Catherine responded with an eyes-rolling emoticon, and the communicator received a document from her boss, which was a list of special forces members who would be under her command later.
The boss specifically marked a man named Grace and asked Catherine to observe him. If she was sure that he was a rare talent, she should find a way to recruit him to their department.
Catherine glanced through Grace's profile.
General enhanced warrior?
She simply replied to her boss with "Got it", immediately opened the chat interface with Yang Ming, and started a war of emoticons.
