Chapter 93: Mimi Li's Gift

In the corridor outside the transport ship.

Young men and women are walking side by side.

Mimili kept turning her head to look at 'Uncle Hanton' beside her, as if she wanted to confirm his identity a few more times.

Although Yang Ming provided various evidences to prove his identity and accurately said the eight words that made Mimili blush, Mimili still found it hard to believe.

"Dad said you were dead."

"Well," Yang Ming said, with his hands behind his back, looking like an old scholar with a hint of smile on his face, "Faking death to avoid the limelight is a common thing in the pirate business. Kolev didn't lie to you, it was me who lied to Kolev, and then I went to find him."

This is a white lie.

Mimili stopped, folded her arms, and leaned her shoulders against the porthole frame that was several meters wide and high. The beige tight combat suit wrapped up her almost perfect body curves.

She used the starlight outside to illuminate her own eyes, and then reflected the starlight towards Yang Ming.

"Am I not trustworthy in your eyes, Uncle Hamton?"

"Mimili," Yang Ming replied with a smile, "I can only trust myself."

Mimili shrugged slightly: "Me too, we can only trust ourselves... You got this thing, are you going to build a new pirate base?"

Yang Ming smiled and nodded, then said slowly, "I am currently active in the Luofeng Empire. Your father is in business, and I am in politics. We are planning to make something big, and this base is our retreat."

"Wow," Mimi Li frowned, "My dad is here too? Could he be on the fifth administrative planet of Luofeng?"

"Of course not, what's wrong?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

"I noticed something was wrong with Molly."

Mimili snorted softly:

"She nominally regards me as her first service target, but in reality she is still following my father's orders. Before, she kept hinting at me to recruit team members, and then directed me to the barren Fifth Administrative Planet."

Yang Ming's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Kolev is capable of doing such a thing.

This old man, if he wants his daughter to be around, just say so directly , why is he being so shy?

"He is very old, judging from the number of times his cells divide," Yang Ming said gently, "Although I plan to give him some telomere modifiers to extend his life by ten or twenty years, he is still an old man. Don't blame him."

"uh-huh?"

"Mimili, maybe you should spend more time with him."

Mimi was silent for a moment, then, as Kolev often did, she changed the subject forcefully.

"Uncle Hanton, do you want to develop in the Luofeng Empire? This is really not a good idea."

Yang Ming laughed: "Why?"

"A military coup is about to take place here," Mimi Li said seriously, "I have accurate information from a source that a coup is about to break out in the Luofeng Empire, and the military will soon overthrow the royal family by force."

Two question marks appeared on Yang Ming's forehead.

What kind of gossip is this?

He whispered, "Mimili, have you ever heard that there was a captain in the Luofeng Empire who escaped death?"

Mimi Li curled her lips slightly: "I haven't paid attention to it, but I heard about this incident. The anti-mech missile attacked the hovercraft , but it didn't kill the guy. He is really lucky."

Yang Ming: "That's me."

"Wow," Mimily blinked repeatedly, "That ridiculous individual missile is indeed difficult to hurt my uncle who is protected by a shield."

"Yes, that's right. The shield saved me."

The fourth version of the lie.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry about the so-called coup, Mimi. The coup in the Luofeng Empire should be a rumor spread outside. The Sherman Empire is behind the royal family. If the military dares to attack the royal family, the Sherman Empire's fleet will not sit idly by."

Mimili laughed a few times and said proudly:

"You are wrong, Uncle Hanton, there will definitely be a military coup.

"This is confidential information I got by accident. Uncle, you have to give me some reward. Molly...Molly? Where on earth have you been, you lazy fellow?"

"Lu," Yang Ming called softly.

A faint light flickered, and Lu's three-dimensional projection appeared beside Yang Ming: "Boss."

"Let Molly out."

"Okay, boss," Lu responded softly, nodding to Mimili who looked curious.

The projection ball flew quickly from the direction of the bridge and hovered over Mimili's shoulder.

Communication between the projection ball and the pirate ship was restored again.

Molly's figure appeared above the projection ball, sitting in a duck position, with tears in her eyes and a dazed look, and she looked a little absent-minded.

Yang Ming glared at Lu fiercely, and the latter looked calmly at the deck above his head.

"Captain," Molly sniffed, "Number Two is so awesome now."

"This is actually Molly No. 2?"

Mimi looked at Lu in surprise: "She has completely changed... I mean, not only her appearance has changed, but her entire temperament is different."

Lu smiled happily and said, "You understand mechanical thinking."

Mimi Li blinked at Lu and immediately said, "Molly, bring out the recording you captured. It's the one where those two guys were plotting a coup."

Molly said hurriedly, "I may have deleted it. You are busy with business too frequently and my hard drive is always insufficient. I will search it right away!"

Yang Ming looked puzzled.

Lu monitors the network of Yilando Star all day long, monitoring important figures of the royal family and the military. It is unlikely that he would be unaware of the signs of a coup.

But then, the recording that Molly played made Yang Ming's expression even more solemn.

The conversation should have taken place in the bathroom of the Starliner.

The two men whispered under the cover of the sound of water; when the noise was filtered out, their voices became clearly audible.

"...Now all networks of the Luofeng Empire are supervised by the Sherman Empire. This time we will only use real people to send letters and physical files to transmit information. From now on, you must not take any action to log into the network."

"Don't worry, I'm also a professional. Did you really suffer a big loss on the Fifth Administrative Planet?"

"A Level 12 agent was killed, more than 1,200 people were burned in the fire, and our leader nearly had a cerebral hemorrhage. If we don't do something, I'm afraid we will become a laughing stock in the galaxy in the future."

“Does your government support you in doing this?”

"I don't know, but our biggest boss is planning to do this anyway... Don't worry, you just need to secretly monitor me and report my progress in the plan to your boss. That's enough. In fact, I still don't understand why you are involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with your interests."

“You should know that the Sherman Empire destroyed one of our Dawn battleships for no reason, and the top brass was very angry.

"The daughter of a high-ranking official died in that incident... I guess the top brass also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the Sherman Empire has the courage to actually launch a full-scale war."

"They don't dare."

"I hope so. We are about to enter the border of Luofeng Empire. This is our last conversation. From now on, we will be strangers."

"That's it, happy cooperation."

…

Yang Ming's eyebrows were wrinkled into a shape of a "川" (river).

Damn!

This conversation sounds incoherent, but the information in it all matches up!

They are all related to him!

Yang Ming witnessed with his own eyes the destruction of the Dawn-class battleship by the Sherman Empire, and Lina died under the bombardment of the dreadnought.

This time, the annihilation task force was simply led by Yang Ming, who "put the blame" on the Sherman Empire.

Now, the New Federation's intelligence agencies are preparing to do something big.

In order to retaliate against the Sherman Empire, the Guell Confederation is ready to get involved in this mess.

What a mess this situation is, why is it getting more and more chaotic?

"Why would the Guell Alliance do something that has no benefits?"

Yang Ming asked in confusion.

"Who knows?" Mimi said, "I was planning to rob this small passenger ship, so I asked Molly to eavesdrop on them remotely and accidentally recorded this audio... So I chose to avoid them. I don't want to provoke these fly-like agents and spies."

Yang Ming asked: "Can you give me the specific flight number information?"

"Molly?"

"It has been transmitted to No. 2."

two!

Lu's forehead was crossed again, and he gritted his teeth and said, " Boss, I'll start the investigation now."

Yang Ming lowered his head and thought.

The New Federation fleet and the Sherman Empire fleet are still confronting each other.

This can be seen as the Sherman Empire blocking the pressure from the New Federation for the Luofeng Royal Family, or it can be seen as the two sides restraining each other and no one dares to act rashly.

If the fleet of the Guell Alliance appeared nearby and broke this balance, the Sherman Empire's fleet would most likely retreat, and the situation that was now favorable to the Luofeng Royal Family would be reversed in an instant.

Yang Ming really didn't understand.

Is there an element of 'revenge' in interstellar politics?

The daughter of a high-ranking official in the Guell Alliance died, and the husband of a high-ranking official in the New Federation died?

No, there is a fundamental logic here.

If the Sherman Empire, the galactic big brother, falls, then the second, third and fourth galactic big brothers will benefit the most. This involves all aspects, and these two incidents successfully aroused the personal emotions of the top leaders of both sides.

Brink of war.

Now, they stand on the brink of all-out war across the galaxy.

"Uncle Hamton?" Mimi called.

"It's okay," Yang Ming smiled, "I was thinking about how to get the most benefit from this possible coup. You should go back, Mimili, your old friends are worried about you."

"Well, uncle, I broke your boat..."

Mimili felt a little guilty.

"Relax, don't worry," Yang Ming said softly, "I will deduct this amount from your father's salary."

"No need. I am me and he is him . I am independent now," Mimi said. "I will be active in this area of Falling Wind Edge for a while. If you need any help, uncle, please contact me directly. I can help you once or twice for free as compensation for damaging your transport ship."

When she said this, there was some anticipation in her eyes.

Yang Ming smiled and nodded, and the idea of asking her to help him popped up in his mind again.

A few minutes later, Yang Ming stood in front of the slowly falling security door and waved goodbye to Mimili.

Molly cried pitifully, "I'm going back, number two."

"Call me Lu..."

"But number two, you are number two."

"I am Lu! Lu, Lu, Lu!"

"See you, number two. I'll miss you!"

Clang, the safety door slowly closed, and Mimili had already entered the cockpit of the assault ship.

"Oh!"

Ritsu grabbed his hair fiercely.

"These low-level AIs are so annoying!"

Outside the porthole, the lobster-shaped assault ship slowly floated away.

Yang Ming stood quietly for a few minutes.

"Lil, did you put a backdoor in Molly's place?"

"Yes, boss."

"Just keep an eye on Mimili. Just make sure she doesn't leak our information . Otherwise, don't bother her."

Yang Ming sighed softly:

"Let her fly freely, that's good too."

"Boss, we've found the two spies," Lu whispered, "They don't use any access terminals and live entirely on cash."

“Who are they contacting?”

"The former Minister of Defense of Luofeng, Iluyi."

"Fuck him," Yang Ming cursed, "It's only been a few days since we've been quiet, and I want to see our base completed with my own eyes."

Lu smiled and said, "It will take at least two months for the base to be completed. You can only see this ship entering the atmosphere of the dark planet."

Yang Ming sighed, "That's also a sense of ritual. Help me get a mechanical soldier's perspective, and I'll control it remotely when the time comes... These damn big countries! I must line up the butts of these big country officials and kick them one by one!"

The lawyer carefully recorded the boss's lofty ideals.

"Boss, how do we deal with this military coup?"

"Whoever moves first will seek death."

Yang Ming curled his lips slightly: "With the lesson from Lu Liyan last time, we have to learn one thing."

"What?" Lu asked humbly.

"The first to strike is the strongest, the last to strike will suffer. In the past, I thought that I could take advantage of the chaos and just eat the soup while others ate the meat. But now... I have decided to eat the piece of meat of Luofeng Empire."

…

Half a day later.

In the outer airspace of the star Ilando, the comprehensive supply ship where Gutonmaha is located.

Gutonmaha looked a little flustered at the moment. He kept making phone calls to clear out the guards and guards near him, and his breathing was a little rapid.

Mr. Yang Ming is coming here in person.

Gutonmaha glanced at his office, wondering what big news might have caused Mr. Yang Ming to come to him in person.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Yang Ming's laughter came from outside the door:

"Thank you for leading the way. I can go in by myself."

"It's my pleasure, Major."

Gutonmaha immediately jumped up and began to jog forward with his skinny body.

The door handle was pressed down from the outside by his confidant.

Gutonmaha immediately put his hands behind his back and pretended to be passing by by chance.

The door opened, and Yang Ming was standing there with a smile on his face, while Gutonmaha's confidants had already left quickly.

"Hello, sir," Yang Ming called lazily.

After he closed the door and activated the cabin shield, Gutonmaha folded his hands in front of him and bowed to Yang Ming.
