Chapter 180: Chapter 89: The Unlucky Female Star Thief

After a while, she boldly reached her hand into her bra, retrieving an old antique resembling a USB stick and tossed it to him with the man’s expression twitching at the corner of his mouth, “Here, this is for you… I’m exhausted. So much trouble just for this damn thing. I’ve lived so many years, always the one playing those cops, never thought they’d get to show off…”

Rubbing his forehead, the man took the item and said speechlessly, “Luo Xin, even though you have a man’s name, remember that you’re a woman, I’m a man, and we’re both adults. At the very least, you should have some modesty!”

The woman named Luo Xin glanced at the man with disdain and said, “Come on, I never really saw you as a man to begin with. Besides, you didn’t see anything you shouldn’t have, did you? Does your sister packing ethanol make you feel accomplished?”

Now it was the man’s turn to be at a loss for words. Truth be told, aside from her somewhat inappropriate actions, he really hadn’t seen any R-rated scenes. His face stiffened a bit. After a while, he sighed and said, “You stay here and heal first. Once you’re better, I’ll arrange for you to leave Qiming Star. You… are just way too much trouble.”

Luo Xin gave him another disdainful look. She had gone through a lot to help him steal the data, yet he wasn’t kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times in gratitude to worship her like a Queen, and instead had the nerve to dislike her? Men, truly all garbage!

The man cracked the data encryption of the USB stick and then completely copied the data to his smart terminal. After glancing at it briefly, his pupils contracted sharply, exuding an aura tinged with a bit of viciousness, “These guys really have no regard for their lives…”

Luo Xin, half-lying on the sickbed, echoed his sentiment, “Those crazy old geezers don’t care about their lives at all, actually setting up a research lab underneath the Xilena First Affiliated School and studying such dangerous stuff. Are they trying to drag the entire planet’s students down with them… Hey, I’m curious though, how did you know there was a lab there?”

The entrance to that lab was very well concealed, incredibly hard to discover. Yet this man not only knew about the entrance, but he also understood the general layout, even marking where the cameras were and where the blind spots were, providing her with great convenience in stealing data. If it weren’t for the map he provided, her life might have ended right at that terrifying research lab.

The man leisurely put away his smart terminal and completely destroyed the USB stick, not leaving a trace, afraid the data inside would reach a second pair of hands, “Don’t ask about this, I have my own ways, which are beyond your imagination.”

Luo Xin’s goodwill towards the man immediately dropped to zero. It’s not some classified stuff; what’s the point in being so secretive like he’s saving it for a midnight snack? Ridiculous!

With a somewhat heavy heart, the man left the ward, his expression growing increasingly somber, thinking about how to prevent the continuation of this research project. It didn’t matter if those old guys had a death wish—after all, they didn’t have much time left anyway, the sooner they died, the sooner they could be reborn.

But if they wanted to die, they shouldn’t drag everyone on Qiming Star down to Hell with them! Especially those students, who almost represent the future vital forces of the Alliance. Once problems arise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, the data clearly indicated that the unknown life form sleeping within the rocks was extremely dangerous, so why couldn’t those old, faded eyes see it!

Gambling the entire planet’s fate for their glorious future and posthumous fame… It’s too ruthless and cruel!

If it weren’t for the constraints of his identity, he would’ve liked to directly pilot his Mecha into the research lab, preferably causing such a big fuss that it draws all interstellar eyes here, letting the outside world see what these lunatics are up to!

But unfortunately, he couldn’t do that. Even if he did, putting aside what would happen to his family, just the face of the Human Alliance would be utterly lost, becoming the laughingstock of other species, and the citizens’ trust in the Alliance would also drastically decline.

Once the Alliance’s influence diminishes, what follows would be societal turmoil and chaos. This connection was very clear to him, and he would not rashly do something irreparable out of anger or impulse. After all… he was no longer that impulsive, angry young man he once was, nor the naive kid who thought “whoever irritates me for a moment, I’ll annoy them for a lifetime”…

Although he doesn’t want to admit it, from the moment he was born, he has borne the responsibility of defending the Alliance, a belief that is deeply ingrained in his bones, impossible to forget or ignore, no matter how his identity changes.

In his younger years, he might have said, “Other people’s life and death have nothing to do with me,” but having experienced so many things, he now understands the childishness and irresponsibility of his past.

Frustrated, he raked his fingers through his hair, pondering how to solve this problem before him, making his already messy seaweed-like hair even messier.

Regardless of where the Star Thief named Luo Xin was recovering, or how the man was racking his brains over this issue, once Su Jiameng returned home, she locked herself in the training room, seriously assembling the Mecha model.

“It’s really beautiful.” Gu Ningxuan, who came out to exercise within the time allocated by Su Jiameng, happened to see her rapidly assembling something with her hands. Intrigued, he approached carefully, holding his breath and stepping lightly, fearing he might disturb her.

It wasn’t until the end that he expressed amazement, making Su Jiameng feel a sense of accomplishment. He reached out to touch the cold body of this genuine model, the ice-blue theme giving it a very cool and elegant look, with such a beautiful design that it could attract any Mecha enthusiast.

Regardless of the inside, just the design and appearance are enough to astonish people. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
