Chapter 268 The Secret Hidden by the Jade Button

"You are slandering us without any evidence. We need to report a complaint!"

Lu Dong shrugged: "Whatever."

He was about to leave when the Liu family's son, who was still anxiously spinning around, rushed forward and shouted, "Don't go! Don't go! I don't remember Dougal's original name, but the old man knows! He must remember it!"

He pointed at the village chief, whose wrinkles deepened as he frowned. He snorted and said slowly, "Dr. Dougal is Dr. Dougal. There is no such thing as a real name or a fake name. I advise you to check whether you have the ability even if you want to take the reward money. Don't make up excuses to lie to others, or you may be caught and put in jail."

Lu Dong glanced at the village chief's attitude, without much change in his expression.

He didn't want to pay any attention to the greedy people from the Liu family and left Dougal's house.

He will report the situation here to the president truthfully. In the coming days, they will find people to guard the village to prevent any fish from slipping away quietly.

He asked his subordinates beside him, "Have you checked the surrounding roads?"

The man nodded and replied, "I checked, but didn't find anything. But..."

The man suddenly changed the subject. Lu Dong turned around, his eyes asking him, "What's the matter?"

The man handed over a jade button in his hand. Lu Dong took it and looked at it. His eyes widened and his dark eyes were full of disbelief.

The jade button is made of fine white jade, and its warm touch makes people love it.

There is no pattern on the jade button, but if you look closely you can find thin red lines under the snow-white surface that look like they have life.

They are intertwined and slowly wriggling, like human veins, covering the entire jade button.

"This is..." Lu Dong admitted. He was shocked. The owner of this jade button and the family behind it were not ordinary people.

It was almost, just a little bit, and the person with the highest say in the interstellar world would not be Ivana, but the family behind this jade button!

but……

Lu Dong's hand holding the jade button unconsciously contracted, and he held it tighter and tighter.

If it weren't for the special material of the jade button, it might have been broken into pieces by him.

This family actually still exists! They haven't become extinct yet!

This fact made Lu Dong unable to calm down. There were federal troops and villagers coming and going around him.

They were arguing and pushing each other, but it didn't affect Lu Dong at all.

Everyone seemed to sense his abnormality; the noise of their fights gradually died down, and they began to look in his direction and whisper among themselves.

I don’t know how long it took, Lu Dong took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He looked up again, the confusion and shock in his eyes had disappeared without a trace, and he asked: "Where did you get this jade button?"

"From what they said, they found it in Qin Jiu's room."

Lu Dong fell silent again.

If Qin Jiu was just a wanted criminal, it would be easy to deal with, but she might have the support of that family, so things are not as simple as we thought at the beginning.

He put the jade button back on himself, and said with a serious expression: "Prepare the fastest interstellar train to Zhongtian Star for me. The faster the better! It's best to get down the mountain now!"

Upon hearing this, the man agreed with a "yes" without asking why, then turned around and left to make arrangements for him.

This matter involves too many things, and he must report it to President Ivana immediately.

When his men came back, he gave another order: "From now on, no one in the village can go out, and no one from the outside can come in. Anyone who objects will be treated as obstructing public service."

"Yes."

Less than two hours after the regulations were issued, Liu's son ran out cursing. His voice at the entrance of the village attracted the attention of other people and also alarmed Lu Dong.

Lu Dong walked to the entrance of the village and looked at the mad man. He asked in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

When Liu's son saw him, he immediately ran to him and said, "You have to help me! Doctor Dougel hasn't come back yet, and my dad needs to change his medicine! Please let me go out and find a doctor, please!"

Lu Dong couldn't help but find it funny: "Didn't they ask us to capture this elusive Dr. Dougal? Why did they change their mind now?"

The Liu family's son never thought that there was anything wrong with him. He said, "That's different! At first, we thought we could exchange them for star coins so that my dad could go down the mountain and receive better treatment. But now it's not that we haven't caught him, but you guys are unwilling to give us a reward. We need treatment!"

Lu Dong looked at his actions coldly. He said to his subordinates beside him, "See if there is a military doctor who can treat him. Also, check the whereabouts of Dougal who suddenly disappeared."

The subordinate agreed and left with the man.

Not long after, Lu Dong left with the hot jade button, went to Wulu Star Station, and boarded the interstellar train back to Zhongtian Star.

When Qin Jiu returned to the hotel, he saw Xiaosha pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back like an old man, while Guangming was playing with the bed sheets out of boredom.

Qin Jiu's sudden appearance made the two war beasts look over at the same time. When Xiaosha saw Qin Jiu, his little face looked like he was about to cry.

It opened its arms, ran to Qin Jiu and hugged Qin Jiu's legs tightly.

Guangming flew to Qin Jiu's shoulder and rubbed her face.

Qin Jiu felt a little guilty because she broke her promise.

I clearly agreed to be away for a short while, and now several days have passed. The two little guys must be very worried.

Qin Jiu squatted down and stretched out his hand to respond to the chic hug.

She nodded her cool nose and asked, "Have you eaten well these few days when I was away?"

Nodding gracefully, it stretched out its claws to show Qin Jiu the muscles of its upper arms.

Qin Jiu smiled and gave it a thumbs up.

She then asked Guangming: "Has Guangming listened to Xiaosa's words these days?"

Guangming also nodded and stretched out his wings to point to the guest bed.

The quilt and sheets on the bed were rolled into a circle by it, like a bird's nest built for Qin Jiu with the quilt.

Qin Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Is this the nest you built for me?"

Guangming puffed out his little chest proudly and patted his chest.

Qin Jiu kissed its tightly closed eyes and praised: "Guangming is the best!"

At this time, Xiaosa stood beside her and carefully reached out to hook her trouser leg. He looked up at Qin Jiu, as if he wanted to say something.

Qin Jiu asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiaosha looked around, and suddenly ran to the bathroom, then came out with two long white tissue strips in its hands.

It crumpled the piece of paper into a ball, placed it on both sides of its head, one on the left and one on the right, and called out to Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu looked at its appearance, trying to understand its meaning: "You mean... Lilith?"

Xiaosha nodded immediately, pointed at the food next to it, and used other supplies in the hotel to build a small cliff.

Qin Jiu understood what it meant.

She completely forgot about bringing Xiaosha Guangming back to report her safety!

Lilith would be worried if she didn't see them appear.

The wormhole in Qin Jiu's hand should be able to be used one or two more times. She calculated the current time on Yunzhanxing and it was almost evening.

She first took the two war beasts to a hot bath, then blew them dry and combed their hair. She also changed her clothes before setting off for Yunzhan Star.

They landed accurately near the cliff, and Qin Jiu keenly discovered that this place seemed a little different from the previous few days.

Red cordon was drawn on both sides of the cliff, connecting the entire edge of the cliff, and Qin Jiu could not see the end.

A temporary rest pavilion suddenly appeared in the open space not far away, and it was brightly lit inside.

Qin Jiu could also see the figures of two men in the light reflected on the window.

Qin Jiu was curious. Is it necessary to be so cautious here in the wild mountains and wilderness?

She looked around and found that there was no one else here except the two men.

Qin Jiu sneaked towards the pavilion with two war beasts, and was startled by the sound of a wine bottle falling inside.

She quickly turned sideways and hid in a blind spot on the other side. At this time, she heard the conversation between the two people inside.

"Tsk, tell me, tell me, what's going on here! Those two brats, not only do they come to help, but they also cause trouble. If they hadn't taken off their terminals and ran around, would we need to be on duty here now? We've been busy enough with the addition of several wormholes recently! And now they're coming to this godforsaken place without even a hot meal."

"Don't talk nonsense when you go back, or someone will report you."

"I'm telling you the truth! Tell me, why are they here? They are both under surveillance, but they're deliberately doing these things. Isn't that just causing trouble? Also, the bosses aren't thinking straight, saying there are rebels hiding here. Can you tell me which rebels are so stupid as to invade a place where even the terminals can't be used normally?"

"Brother, I know you feel bad because you had a conflict with that kid. It's a bit uncomfortable to be assigned to this place for duty at this time. But there's nothing we can do about it. Who can guarantee that those two kids didn't contact the rebels by hiding from the crowd and coming here? The higher-ups decided to send more people to guard the place out of caution. Don't drink so much, I won't be able to handle anything that happens later."

"Alas, the only good thing about coming here is that it's far away from the emperor, they don't care about us, and we can have a little drink during work hours to relieve boredom."

"It's already late at night, and I don't think anything will happen. Let's go to bed early."

"Okay, go to bed early..."

After the man finished speaking, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The other man, who didn't drink, shook his head and picked up a book to read.

There is no internet here, the terminal will malfunction, and the only form of entertainment is reading.

Qin Jiu knew that they were discussing Lilith and Wang Ling, and now it seemed that he was becoming a burden to them.

It is estimated that after they left, they were placed under close surveillance and their personal freedom was restricted.

We don’t know what the two are doing now, and whether they will be placed under house arrest.

Qin Jiu decided to take the risk and go to the wormhole to see the situation.

Guangming and Xiaosha have very strong night vision, so Qin Jiu asked Xiaosha to lead the way and walk towards the plain.

Since they were not able to appear in front of everyone openly, Qin Jiu deliberately let Xiaosha choose a sparsely populated path.

During this time, when Qin Jiu saw a flying camera, he immediately asked Xiaosha and Guangming to get out of the way and try not to be discovered.

They wandered around in circles, and a journey that was supposed to take an hour took them three hours before they could barely see the outline of the base.

This is an abandoned shopping mall building in Yunzhan Star. Qin Jiu stands on the top floor, overlooking the scenery below.

Since the wormhole on Yunzhan Star has been formed for some time, although the situation on Wulu Star has not yet reached the point where people need to be evacuated, the residents nearby have already moved away.

There are tall buildings everywhere, but there is not a single light.

They were swallowed by darkness and fell into the night.

Maybe they will see the light of day someday, or maybe not.

Qin Jiu went downstairs and moved towards the base.

As we approached the base, the guarding became tighter.

Qin Jiu didn't dare to get too close, she observed from inside the outer building.

Luckily, there were no patrols in the building for the time being, so she was able to hide safely.

But the good times didn't last long. Before ten minutes had passed, she heard someone talking.

She immediately went upstairs carefully to avoid their patrols.

"Have you heard? A wanted criminal has been spotted but not caught. The president has mobilized his Star Guard to capture this wanted criminal."

"Is it the student named Qin Jiu?"

"No, no, it's the man who killed the former president! What's his name...Laker!"

"Ah? I remember hearing that he was dead many years ago?"

"No, I think he fell off a cliff and disappeared. Later I heard that his entire family disappeared overnight. I don't know if it was his doing or the president's..."

"What? The President? No way... The President doesn't seem to be such a cruel person..."

"It's hard to say. They were competing for the presidency at the time. Who knows if anything happened during the process? After all, keeping Laker would be a problem..."

"So what's the situation now?"

"The village where he was found is now under surveillance, and everyone who has anything to do with him must be closely watched 24 hours a day. He hid in the wilderness, but he was still found. Maybe this is his fate!"

"How was it discovered?"

"It is also related to the Qin Jiu you just mentioned. Originally, the federal army received the news and wanted to go up the mountain to capture Qin Jiu, but Qin Jiu was not caught. Instead, the Laker family's jade button was found in the village. Then a doctor named Dougal in the village also disappeared at the same time. We are not fools. We can probably figure out the relationship after a little analysis."
