If someone happens to be monitoring the star network data, they will find that the comments in the entire live broadcast area freeze for a moment.

Until Lu Qiao's face froze in the frame for a second or two, until the watery light in Lu Qiao's eyes was clearly illuminated under the lens, until he lowered his eyes and stopped looking at the camera, only slightly lowered his head and walked towards the aircraft.

The comment area is like a pot of water suddenly boiling.

"Jojo!! Cry, cry, cry!!"

"I'm really going to lose my temper. Why did you pull Omega in to seize the power of your alpha? There will be no one in the empire who doesn't know that it is impossible for Omega to participate in core affairs [smile]"

"Good guy, a few days ago, the military department was promoting equal rights in AO. I understand, the benefits are still given to Alpha, and the bad things can push Omega to blame, right? [Speechless]"

"I'll just squat down and come back with Lance."

"Suffocation, you don't have to be so brainless. The achievements of the military department in the past few years are obvious to all. Would they arrest people casually??"

"Of course the residents of the seventh star believe in the military department, so who else would trust the nobles? [Speechless]"

"It's not that you don't trust the military department. The timing is very delicate... Besides, is this report nonsensical?? If you are willing to stand against the family for the sake of your alpha, will you still harm him??"

"I'd rather Jojo stay in the imperial capital all the time. He would have enjoyed flowers and dances, but he ended up in a desolate star that was freezing to death, and he would be slandered by the local residents. Speechless, which noble Omega in my imperial capital has suffered such a thing?" Bitter [doubt]"

"The seventh star has become a barren star again? Last year's economic growth rate was the highest in the entire empire. You know [speechless] the residents of the noble imperial capital star don't need to show their presence~"

"How should I put it... Just, I believe that Qiao Qiao is innocent, but I also believe that the military department will not mess around, and wait for the announcement."

"[Embarrassing] the number one growth rate is because the base is small [embarrassing]. Compared with the Imperial Capital Star, it is not unfair to say that the seventh star is a desolate star, okay? [laughs]"

"It sucked the blood of other planets, of course it prospered [smile]"

"Laughing to death, are you sour? Every year, how many planets are waiting for the joint industrial license of the Imperial Capital Star. Why can't your star even be ranked in this bb???"

……

"How are you? Would you like to take a break?"

Anthony looked at Lu Qiao with some concern.

Since getting on the aircraft, Lu Qiao has been checking the trend of public opinion through their public relations personnel.

"I'm not in the mood to rest." He smiled apologetically, perhaps because he wasn't dressed up, his lip color was much lighter than before, "Look, I'm a little worried."

He has a special status, and once there is a quarrel in public opinion, almost all aspects can cause mutual attacks.

This is not good.

So he and the military both tacitly chose to make a concession.He could be treated well in the military as a guest rather than a suspect, but he could not simply refuse the investigative process.

"Don't worry," Anthony comforted in a low voice, "Our staff is very professional, so you don't have to worry about public opinion."

"Well... next year, maybe the Seventh Star and the Imperial Star will have a cooperation project." He looked at the residents of the two planets who were about to fight on the screen. "It's just right, let's lay the groundwork."

"Okay." Anthony suppressed the surprise in his heart, and only quickly wrote down this in the memo.

At present, Lu Qiao still has confidence in Lance and Seventh Star.Following Lu Qiao, he can always get first-hand news, maybe he should pay attention to some stocks.

"The court will be held the day after tomorrow. You can choose not to attend."

When saying goodbye, Anthony specifically comforted him not to worry.

"Lance hasn't come back either... I think I'd better be there in person."

Lu Qiao didn't hesitate at all.

Refusing to attend would do him no good other than peace of mind, and he had already prepared for it.Knowing that many residents are looking forward to this trial, he must put on a gesture.

Evening came.

He finished his dinner earnestly under the supervision of the robot Didi, and then stared intently at the documents sent by the team.

The evidence submitted by the whistleblower started five years ago and was listed one by one.Every time Lance accepts a mission and drives out of the country, the base station network has traces of Lu Qiao's terminal communicating with the outside world.

As for smuggling, it happened to be related to the botanical garden that Lu Qiao took over.

"It seems that the evidence of smuggling is not perfect," Anthony was videoing with him, "If we have enough time, we can clear the suspicion for you."

"But about contacting overseas..." Anthony frowned, "Sir, the data of the base station is correct, maybe you need to give a convincing explanation."

The matter of smuggling can be big or small, and even if there is evidence, it is not enough for the military to investigate in person.

The point is that whistleblowers link smuggling to collaborating.

"These are all nonsense," Lu Qiao muttered to herself, her face was a little dazed, as if her mind was exhausted, "Explain...why can't I contact my husband when he leaves me?"

Anthony saw it with his eyes and heard it with his ears, and he almost couldn't maintain his professional demeanor at work.

He knew that the nobles used some secret means to communicate overseas, and of course he believed that Lu Qiao would definitely use these methods to contact Lance - the isolation of thousands of light years was too cruel for an Omega.

But on the bright side, this is indeed illegal, and it is reasonable to arouse suspicion.As for smuggling... Lu Qiao just took over the mess left by Bunia and is still in the process of sorting it out. How could he get involved?

In the past few days, some soft-hearted Omegas in the team have quietly wiped tears for Lu Qiao several times.

"Your contact point happens to have a high degree of coincidence with the Zerg settlement line, which is what the judges will focus on."

"Don't the judges also care about where the base station is built when they are on the phone?" He quickly replied, frowning, hesitating, and his tone was much lower, "You said...Lance Will he..." Trust me.

"Of course the general will believe you, everyone will believe you," Anthony immediately emphasized, "We have managed to find out the opinions of some judges, and we have reason to believe that at least among the neutral judges, they are also subjectively inclined to sympathize with you." you."

The staunch populist judges naturally distrust nobles and are hardly influenced by public opinion.However, there are almost three factions among the judges, which is generally beneficial to them.

"Speaking of General Lance, in fact... if General Lance can come back and make an explanation in person, everything can be solved, and even the best result is that they withdraw the lawsuit." Anthony asked carefully while paying attention to Lu Qiao's expression, " Can you get in touch with him now?"

"...If he has any news, I will contact you," he was silent for a while, his eyebrows lowered, "that's all for today."

"You pay attention to rest, goodbye."

Lu Qiao spread out on the sofa.

He closed his eyes and unscrewed the small milk bottle he carried with him, and swallowed it in small mouthfuls.

Because the production date is relatively long, the original strong absinthe smell has been faintly melted into the liquid.

It's like Lance gradually distanced himself from him.

Turning on the optical brain again, he subconsciously clicked on Lance's coordinates.The red dot showing Lance's location hadn't moved much for days.

He tried Reith these few days, and it seems that Lance did not contact the subordinates of the military department.

Originally, he thought that Lance would contact him at any time on the way...so that he could also know about Lance's progress.

Who knew that once Lance left the territory of the empire, he never sent a message again.

Their chat interface still stayed at what Lance said to him when he first left, "Wait for me to come back", and then it was full of inquiries sent by Lu Qiao, one after another, like a silent one-man show.

He continued to switch back to the original interface, only cutting out Lance's real-time location and putting it aside.

Just like in the past few years, every time Lance went out, he had to play the military news on a loop in the living room of the Imperial City home.

I am used to finding ways to get news about Lance, I am used to projecting any fragmentary news or words about Lance that I can find on the empty screen, and I am used to comforting myself like this, Lance is always by his side, never far away. go.

There wasn't even much time to think about what had happened to Lance, and he quickly plunged into the ocean of documents again.

Time is running out, and he can only rely on himself.

Lu Qiao quickly wrote down one line after another - having received elite education from the aristocrats, he knew how to write decent and persuasive documents.

He rubbed his dry eyes.

really.

I have been used to carrying it by myself for so many years, but there is a limit to my ability to bear it.

so tired.

When did he suffer so much in the imperial capital?

This similar feeling of being pressed every step of the way only vaguely existed in his childhood memory.

After returning to the Imperial Capital, Rand held him in his palm. After Rand died, even though his elder brother Arthur was not close to him, he dutifully blocked all the open and dark arrows aimed at the Percy family.

Father, brother, husband.

Rand tried his best to get close to his youngest son, but he often only got the polite and distant honorific title from Lu Qiao; Arthur and he never had a moment of heart-to-heart as real brothers.

Only Lance, he has always firmly believed that if there is an alpha in this world that he can indulge himself in, then Lance is the only one.

and so.

He has been so resolute in every decision he made in the past nine years.

However, the person closest to him is also the only person who will be absent at his critical moment.

He twisted the pocket watch hanging around his neck.

The small photo in the pocket watch is as clean as new. The young man in the photo has a cold face, but his clear eyes are full of tenderness.

"Daddy...you'll support me too, right?"

Muttering, dissipating in the air like light smoke, no one knows.

As soon as the voice fell, the screen beside him suddenly started flickering frantically.

Lu Qiao suddenly stopped all movements and looked at the light screen.

The red dot was beating wildly.

Not simply blinking, but, disappearing for a few minutes each time, appearing light-years away.

Step by step approaching the imperial capital star.

Lu Qiao held her breath.

He studied space science at Calfort University, and his grades are quite good.So he recognized at a glance that this was a long-distance leap.

Theoretically, the establishment of the transition point needs to be carried out in a vacuum-like environment, so the risk factor is very high during the construction process.

But Lance went alone.

It's only been a few days.

A vacuum-like environment...is unable to send out messages.

Is that what he thought?

Lu Qiao pursed her lips, closed all the documents in her hand, and just sat quietly on the sofa, staring at the light screen.

The red dot is still beating continuously and steadily.

Intermittently, it happens to be able to form a safe navigation route from the Imperial Capital Star to the Black Star Belt.

Time insisted on showing its strength at this time, so that Lu Qiao's seconds felt like years.

For an entire hour, he hardly moved, and his only movement was to quietly squeeze the pocket watch on his chest.

"Ding--"

The red dot has reached the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Lu Qiao's optical brain began to flicker wildly.Lance's messages popped up quickly, one after another, like a burst of laser bombs.

"Jojo."

Voice messages sound together with real voices.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared outside the window, he froze in place.
