I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Time passed quickly and it was the last day of the return journey. It had been three days since Qi Yan confessed.

As they were about to enter the main galaxy, Huo Linyuan organized a morning meeting for everyone.

But the only people who actually showed up were Ling Qing and Wen Yi.

After that day, as his mental strength slowly recovered, Qi Yan told Huo Linyuan everything he knew about the novel.

For safety reasons, Huo Linyuan and Qi Yan agreed not to reveal the matter of time travel to anyone.

Qi Yan naturally agreed readily. In fact, he did not intend to reveal it to others because not everyone is Huo Linyuan.

Ling Qing sorted out several things he was responsible for following up and made a brief report, the first of which was the progress of Planet M.

"The batch of rare gold seized from Ye Qin has temporarily solved our rare gold shortage problem. Now Isaac has started to modify the fleet, and it is expected that the first batch of modification plans will be completed by the end of the year."

"In addition, according to the news sent back from Planet M, Cardillo has successfully taken over most of the forces in Andromeda. Currently, only a few small lords are still secretly stirring up trouble. They were all followers of the three major families and have deep conflicts of interest with the three major families."

"However, with the fall of the three major families, their reliance was also cut off. With the power that Cardillo has established in Andromeda, these people are no longer a threat. It is only a matter of time before they are fully recruited."

This is rare good news in recent times. As long as the Andromeda problem is solved, their concerns can be reduced by at least half.

"How is the list going?" Huo Linyuan asked.

"There has been no breakthrough so far. These small lords did not show any abnormality when Cardillo recruited them. They all cooperated very well with the recruitment."

"But..." Ling Qing paused before continuing, "Your speculation may be correct. This list may not only point to the royal family."

Surveys show that the cleaner the environment is, the more serious the hidden problems are.

"Also, Shen Yi has made some new discoveries..." Ling Qing was speaking when the terminal on his wrist suddenly rang. He looked down and projected the video onto the screen. "Let him report to you in person."

On the light screen, Shen Yi was dressed in black, with a variety of metal chains hanging on his black jacket. He looked very much like the gangsters in the movies and TV series that Qi Yan had watched in her previous life.

At this moment, he was staring at a bar-like store with a serious expression. Seeing the call connected, Shen Yi retracted his gaze and turned into a corner.

"I have successfully obtained the contact method, and I am preparing to sneak in and look for clues." Halfway through his words, Shen Yi suddenly discovered that Huo Linyuan was organizing a meeting on the other side of the video, so he directly reported his recent findings.

"When investigating the background of the list, I accidentally discovered that these people all had some kind of gray income. Following this clue, I recently found out that they were all connected to an organization that sold banned drugs."

In fact, this situation is not uncommon in the interstellar space. Many small lords often secretly cooperate with some gray and black industries due to the lack of resources on their own planets. The royal family has always turned a blind eye to such behavior.

When Andromeda started to incorporate forces, the first thing Huo Linyuan did was to ask the investigation team to check these industries.

A big part of the reason why Cardillo was able to incorporate most of Andromeda's forces so quickly was because he had grasped the lifelines of these lords in advance.

At first, Shen Yi did not connect these to the list. It was not until the recent investigation that he found that all the people on the list had financial transactions with this doping organization, and the amount was not small.

Combined with the previous investigation, except for the people on the list, no connection with this organization was found in the gray and black industries of other lords, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Next, I plan to contact them as a buyer and try to see if I can get into the inner circle of this doping organization."

"Be careful and don't alert the enemy." Huo Linyuan warned.

"Yes."

After finishing his business, Shen Yi returned to his carefree nature. He couldn't help but complain:

"This investigation is not something a human should do. Marshal, you are too biased. After all, I am a major general. Operational command is my field. This kind of investigation is really not suitable for me."

"You can decide when to transfer me back so that I can swap with Zoe. If that doesn't work, you can let Dark Night take over."

Shen Yi tried to negotiate, but he felt like he was going to collapse when he thought about having to stay here for a long time.

"Put together the investigation report as soon as possible and follow Ling Qing's instructions in the action arrangements." Huo Linyuan rejected him bluntly.

Seeing that being soft was no longer effective, Shen Yi turned his gaze to Qi Yan.

"Dandan, you little heartless boy, did you miss me?"

Knowing Shen Yi's character of hitting the snake with a stick, Qi Yan always adhered to the principle of not giving the other party any color, and the cold electronic voice showed no mercy: "No."

"It's okay, I have prepared a gift for you."

As if she had already accepted Qi Yan's indifference, Shen Yi perfectly portrayed the image of a resentful woman who was abandoned but still lovingly waited for her lover to change his mind.

Then he took out a pink object from his shirt pocket.

Shen Yi shook the item open, revealing a pink puffy skirt: "The first time I saw it, I felt it suited you."

Shen Yi imagined the cute image of a white eggshell wearing a pink puffy skirt and spinning around in front of everyone. His eyes were filled with bubbles of cuteness in his mind.

Qi Yan's brain felt suffocated, and she felt that the little bit of expectation in her heart was just like being fed to a dog.

"There are many others, wait for me..." Before he could finish his words, Ling Qing ruthlessly cut off the communication.

In order to prevent Shen Yi from leading the topic in a strange direction, Ling Qing did this subconsciously. When he saw Huo Linyuan's thoughtful expression, he felt that he had done the right thing.

"Ahem..." Ling Qing coughed lightly and returned to the topic, "I have finished reporting the current situation here."

"Yeah." Huo Linyuan hummed and didn't say anything.

Qi Yan observed Huo Linyuan's expression, thinking anxiously, could it be that he was affected by Shen Yi's strange hobby?

If I were to dress like this... Qi Yan shook her body and quickly got rid of this terrible idea from her mind.

Huo Linyuan looked at his movements with some amusement. Even without trying to sense it, he could guess what Qi Yan was thinking at this moment.

In order to stop Qi Yan's little brain from continuing to think wildly, Huo Linyuan tapped the desktop and signaled Wen Yi: "Continue."

Wen Yi nodded, then unfolded the information in his hand:

"Zoe sent a message saying that the situation on the mining planet is far worse than we expected. Several major production planets have been hit by an infectious disease called "Geffy Fever," and now many mines are experiencing absenteeism and strikes."
