Chapter 151 - 51: Vice Admiral Invites

Xiao Ming himself is living in a daze, taken by the police for questioning, and that’s the only explanation that keeps going back and forth.

He takes money to do the job, leaves the mine, and goes home.

That’s the daily life of the miners.

Xiao Ming is very conflicted and regretful, questioning why he didn’t pay more attention to the people he brought. They’ve been missing for so long, and he doesn’t even know if they’re in danger.

"Aren’t you afraid the police will know when you tell me directly?" Su Xiaocai is very calm, as if chatting with a good friend, relaxed in posture.

Fan Li didn’t notice her subtle actions, dancing on the edge of illegality.

"There’s no secret here. If I don’t speak up, I’ll get beaten up. I’ve already told others anyway, so it’s no big deal telling you."

Su Xiaocai thought about it and realized it’s indeed like that.

The culture of Planet 022 Mechanical Planet is fierce, seeing how no one intervenes when a burly man beats someone in the street, it’s clear there’s no military stationed here for better security.

The security on Capital Star is good because of the wide coverage of police and surveillance.

The mining area can’t have surveillance everywhere, it relies on awareness.

Once minerals are given to merchants for development, it becomes the merchants’ business, and the military on Planet 022 Mechanical Planet can’t forcibly intervene in subsequent mineral transactions.

So many things are overlooked here.

Knowing the course of events, Su Xiaocai was very satisfied with the cooperation of the small employee and sent him a red envelope.

Others extract news from the small employee for free, which is their "internal rule," but as an outsider, she can’t expect something for nothing.

"Miss Su, I can’t accept it." The small worker was duped once and got scared, fearing that greed for small gains would lead to retribution.

"Take it, go and get a physical check-up, then move immediately off of Planet 022. If there’s nowhere to go, head to Su’s Planet, where I can offer you a five-year residence permit. Finding a job is also easier there; they don’t value your academic history, only your capabilities. If you want to stay longer, you can work to extend the duration."

There were twenty thousand in the red envelope, and the small employee was somewhat bewildered, not daring to take it.

He was still scared and said, "I can’t take it."

"Take it, I don’t owe any favors."

Looking at the words "don’t owe favors" in big letters, the small employee’s eyes welled up; was this also considered a favor? Was saying a few words also considered a favor?

His heart was warm, feeling that Su Xiaocai was not only good-looking but also genuinely kind.

The small employee accepted the money, tempted by the notion that Su’s Planet doesn’t judge based on education or background.

If the goddess’ hometown is there, going there for work might give him a chance to meet the goddess again in the future.

After much consideration, the small employee decided to heed Su Xiaocai’s advice, get a medical check-up, and prepare for immigration.

But before he could get the results, he was taken away by the police again.

Previously, his blood was drawn, showing no anomalies, but as soon as he entered the inspection chamber, things were different. The doctors found large quantities of egg-like things inside him.

In another half day, they would burst out of his body, leaving the hospital no choice but to call the police.

When the police took him away, he thought he was implicated in another case, so he reported it to Su Xiaocai.

Indeed, Su Xiaocai did it on purpose.

She suspected the small employee harbored Insect Man parasites within him.

Everyone else had been sacrificed, why hadn’t he? That was a point of suspicion.

The evolution of Insect Men took strange paths, and there might have emerged a Greed capable of controlling human thoughts.

First, giving money, then offering immigration suggestions, and finally, with her guarantee, it was hard for the small employee not to be tempted.

A comprehensive physical check-up came naturally.

...

There was no match today, so training ended relatively early, but Feng Wansha and Li Leilei were already exhausted like pancakes, not understanding why these two technicians wanted to join the fun of mecha training.

Ji Heng looked around, as if searching for someone, but unfortunately, he didn’t see the target he wanted to meet.

"Brother, looking for your fiancée?" Hu Ping’s displeasure hadn’t faded, admitting he was petty; a brother’s prospective fiancée could be ordinary, a bit feminine, or even scholarly and assertively strong.

But not a selfish and despicable person. Every time he confronted Xue Huiyi, Hu Ping felt nauseated.

Xue Huiyi disliked him too, and it was also because Hu Ping harbored clear animosity and treated people differently.

In Ji Heng’s past life, his wife was treated very kindly by Hu Ping.

Ji Heng shook his head, then nodded, "I am indeed looking for her, but I want to make it clear that I’m going to break off the engagement with her."

The surprise came too suddenly; Hu Ping was overjoyed and grasped his hand tightly, "Brother, congratulations, you finally figured it out. Look at how you used to be, like a ghost in front of Xue Huiyi. Now, you’ve returned to being human."

Several sharp arrows stabbed into his knees, and Ji Heng almost knelt down. Was he really that terrible?
