The two Admirals having stayed in their positions for too long have lost direction, but itâs no big dealâthe ones at the top and the former Admirals still in important positions will teach them a lesson.
The two Admirals also pay and exert efforts to cultivate obedient talents for the country, why not?
But when it comes to the ten Vegetable Farmers, Admiral Bai will never let them touch it.
Colonel Bai: "I know, if someone comes for the files, Iâll put all the responsibility on Grandpa."
Admiral Bai rolled up his sleeves: "You little brat, bold and unfilial."
Colonel Bai smiled slightly: "Learned it from Uncle Xia."
And Uncle Xia was taught by you. Itâs a closed loop.
Admiral Bai couldnât refute, pretended to be angry to avoid the nonsense, his grandson has grown up and matured, not fun at all.
Soon his vacation will be over, so he should enjoy while he can, before summer break, go take a spin at Su Xiaocaiâs place to see her training, it must be more targeted than those instructors at the new recruit training base.
With Su Xiaocai as comparison, Admiral Bai thinks his own nephew doesnât quite shine.
Smart, able to do research, run a company for profit, capable of piloting Mecha, battling Insect Men, and now even a coach.
He remembered Liu Xun, Wu Qingqing, and a few fellow students, whose skills werenât particularly outstanding before.
The difference in just about ten days, flexibility at least doubled.
Does Su Xiaocai have some kind of tactical secret manual?
As Admiral Bai watched videos of other outstanding young people, he pondered over many questions.
Wild ideas constantly surged in his mind.
Before long, the computer prompted that a confidential report was waiting for him to check.
Sent from the Archives Bureau, related to Su Xiaocaiâs identity, theyâve found some information.
Admiral Bai began reading.
Su Xiaocai, formerly named Yu Li, lost her parents in a Star Thief attack. In the files, the data on attack fatalities was also provided. Of the 160 people on the ship, 150 died.
The starship was filled with prosperous families, not necessarily wealthy but all with high intelligence, all above high school education. Su Xiaocaiâs parents were a history professor and a math professor.
People like these understand what it means to be a wise person who knows the occasion, thereâs no way they collectively offended Star Thieves.
Yet, the starshipâs resources were wiped clean, leaving only children surviving.
Admiral Bai frowned, Star Thieves kill with conditionsâthey either face fierce resistance, or there are armed forces of enemies on the ship, or lastly, theyâre carrying a mission harboring evil intentions.
The most ridiculous thing is, the report briefly states the Star Thieves fled, whereabouts unknown.
Subsequent investigations werenât conducted by the Law Enforcement Department, externally explaining these people died due to accidental incidents.
Such a significant event, no one pursued the investigation, this isnât negligence, itâs intentional.
Admiral Bai contemplated whether he should show this part of the report to Su Xiaocai.
The files arenât classified as top-secret, Su Xiaocai is a victim, she should have the right to know.
But if she sees it, who knows if thereâs a major hidden truth, if she investigates privately, itâs very dangerous.
She currently falls under the nationâs crucial protected figure category, this document was accessible to him entirely because heâs in charge of her confidentiality work.
Admiral Bai continued reading the next supplement, ten children were sent to an orphanage on a backward planet.
Quanai Orphanage?
Admiral Bai had no recollection.
Then, Su Xiaocai met Daddy Su on the Garbage Star, followed by adoption.
The more Admiral Bai read, the more confused he became, he pulled out the interstellar map and compared the two locations.
Quanai Orphanage is on the neighboring planet to the Garbage Star, how did she end up on Garbage Star?
So many aspects are glossed over briefly, the doubts are numerous.
He read with a growing curiosity, no wonder Su Xiaocai is so proactive, going as far as hiring bodyguards and detectives to dig into past events.
Key is, after Su Xiaocai arrived at Garbage Star, Quanai Orphanage experienced a major fire, externally claimed they couldnât sustain operations, leading to complete closure.
Pure coincidence, or intentional?
Admiral Bai called for the secretary, "Print a document for Su Xiaocai, tell her she can investigate, but not personally, Iâll provide her with two investigators to assist her legally."
The secretary naturally has to select the investigators, this message cannot be conveyed via communication devices to Su Xiaocai, it must be relayed by the secretary.
Too many inexplicable things on the starship, with time elapsed, any investigation requires thorough meticulousness. Maybe it could even unveil a whole bunch of tumors.
Secretary: "Okay, should I buy some snacks to bring over?"
Admiral Bai: "Has feeding her become my responsibility as well?"
The secretaryâs smile exposed a professional demeanor: "Heard her students all spend money to buy her treats."
You, an old guy benefiting with thick skin from substantial gains, wouldnât possibly be unwilling to spend some snack money, would you?
