Chapter 211: Chapter 70: Negotiating Terms_3

Believe it or not, Su Xiaocai raised her gaze, and Admiral Bai had already turned and left.

“Sigh.” Su Xiaocai patted Black Wing sympathetically, goodbye, buddy.

For the first and last time, she used it to her heart’s content.

Su Xiaocai was very distressed, money… is there anyone to cover this cost?

Is it time to fleece some wool from good friends?

No one stopped her from visiting the repair room, but Su Xiaocai wasn’t interested in staying; after bidding farewell to Black Wing.

She walked out of the repair room, and there were two soldiers waiting outside to guide her.

She hadn’t explained everything about Huangyang Star yet.

Admiral Bai might be willing to let her go, but the Law Enforcement Department wouldn’t.

“Miss Su, Admiral Bai has already communicated with the interrogation room. When the time comes, just honestly recount the events that occurred after you arrived at Huangyang Star.”

This reminder from the soldier carried multiple meanings.

The questions from the Law Enforcement Department are probably fixed; just don’t lie, and it’s possible to selectively omit some facts.

“The events that occurred after Huangyang Star,” this sentence indicated that the installation of artificial intelligence didn’t need to be explained.

Su Xiaocai understood what she needed to do next.

The soldier led her to a wooden door, pushed it open, “Miss Su, we’re here.”

Su Xiaocai glanced inside, and it didn’t resemble an interrogation room; it looked more like a minimalist-style lounge for rugged men.

Sitting on the square sofa, Su Xiaocai inexplicably wanted to take off her shoes and step on it. The cold couch touched her heart in a pleasing way.

In the end, Su Xiaocai refrained from doing such an embarrassing action.

The soldier withdrew to outside the door, and at this moment, two uniformed police officers came in to take another statement from Su Xiaocai.

One of them was a delicate-looking policewoman, “Hello, Miss Su.”

“Hello there!”

Going through the statement process again, Su Xiaocai was much more serious this time.

They first asked what Su Xiaocai did in detail after arriving at Huangyang Star.

Su Xiaocai began talking about the time she got off the battleship.

After leaving the city, a group went out to hunt Insect Men, and it was only after dark that they returned.

Then there was the lockdown, staying to help in the city, and then falling into a pit.

Su Xiaocai didn’t elaborate much on the details, such as the Black Wing mecha, trusting that Admiral Bai would handle it well.

“Wait, are you saying you protected the other three, survived the fall, and then went to find the nest?” the policewoman repeated, “Were there only four of you, no outsiders?”

“Yes, most Insect Men went to the surface at the time; it wasn’t hard to go deep into the nest. Is it strange? Didn’t you ask others?”

The two of them indeed hadn’t asked others because they feared collusion or bribery.

To prevent such scenarios, police from different regions were sent over.

Admiral Bai had briefed them. He said she was a research talent booked by the Military Department, and they needed to speak gently, not like interrogating a criminal, this student.

Thus, they were very cautious in their questioning.

The interrogation environment showed Admiral Bai’s attention to Su Xiaocai.

The policewoman didn’t answer Su Xiaocai, continuing, “Please continue.”

Su Xiaocai briefly described the battle process with the Insect Men, and the two police officers listened in bewilderment, four students infiltrating the enemy’s stronghold, surviving, and even forcing the Queen to transform.

Has the world become so fantastical?

College students can critically injure Insect Man Warriors?

They kept observing Su Xiaocai, noticing her clear eyes, speaking without hesitation, and handling detailed questions with ease, unlike someone reciting a script.

Su Xiaocai explained everything she needed to explain, “Can I leave now?”

“Yes, thank you for your cooperation.” Just as Su Xiaocai was about to leave, the policewoman shyly asked, “Can we take a photo together?”

The other policeman glared at her, focusing on official business.

Su Xiaocai was taken aback, not expecting her fan base had extended into the Law Enforcement Department.

She agreed without hesitation.

The policewoman had excellent photography skills, capturing Su Xiaocai’s most beautiful angle.

After Su Xiaocai left the lounge, the policewoman said happily, “I’m going to print this and frame it.”

“What’s there to be so happy about, young people these days, why do they all like stanning celebrities? Luckily, the one you like is from the technical crowd; if it were those who sing and shake their butts, I’d seriously doubt your professionalism.”

“What’s wrong with stanning celebrities, I’m just an ordinary person. Those who sing and shake their butts are professional needs, you can’t look down on them.” The policewoman kept a straight face, “Besides, the star I stan is technical, it’s something old folks like you don’t understand. I reckon I’m the only fan who knows Caicai can pilot mechas now.”

And she’s highly skilled at it.

“Some online were belittling Caicai, saying no matter how good she is, she can only handle cowardly soldiers; now, Caicai from our side also excels in mecha technology.”

The other policeman listened to the policewoman chat away, musing inwardly whether he was so out of touch, making it difficult to communicate with the young.

He realized he needed to catch up on online trends when he got back.

After work, the policewoman expressed her excitement on a social platform: successfully took a photo together and discovered my favorite blogger gained another skill.

She didn’t post the photo, but who the policewoman liked was obvious at a glance.

Below her “mood” were many comments, with the fastest and most numerous being from the top fan “Conquer With Bricks.”

[Conquer With Bricks]: Is it who I think it is? What’s your profession, how did you get in touch, can you privately send me the photo? Ugh, I went to the school to find her, but the security said Caicai went to 022 Mechanical Planet.

[Conquer With Bricks]: There’s a war starting there, is she okay? Why did the school arrange for Caicai, a mere gardener, to go over there?

Conquer With Bricks is the guy who initially made Su Xiaocai’s technical video.

After posting the technical video, he waited for Su Xiaocai’s praise, hoping she’d ask him for the original video file to post on her account.

Days passed, and he received only silence.

He followed Caicai’s updates closely, eager to glean more current information since a fan had finally managed to meet her.

The policewoman knew Conquer With Bricks; he usually confronts everything and is a bit critical, but his credibility is high.

After Su Xiaocai became famous, his comment section turned into shouts like,

“To see great gardening moments, you still need to look at the blogger here, when will the official figure come to move the video.”

“Can’t the blogger get to know her? Didn’t you say your connections were good before?”

“The blogger’s skill is undoubtedly solid; wish Caicai would take the initiative to meet.”

And so forth; the policewoman was also converted into a Su Xiaocai fan through Conquer With Bricks’ technical videos.

Eventually, she got hooked, learning to cook from Su Xiaocai’s culinary videos, figuring out how to relax and cheer herself up.

Therefore, among all commenters, she only replied to Conquer With Bricks via private message.

“I can’t say my profession. Caicai is super friendly and a top student; other details can’t be disclosed.”

[Conquer With Bricks]: Alright, is there any plan for her to return?

“I can’t say, if you want to meet her, you’ll have to stakeout yourself.” The policewoman was busy with archiving the inquiry process, and her account quickly went silent.

Conquer With Bricks was very disappointed, spinning his chair idly, desperately wanting to know the movement of his idol.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaocai was also very busy. After the inquiry, she went to the medical room to find Ji Li.

Several medical rooms were crowded; the entire medical team was bustling about, with patients continuously being brought in and out.

This medical team operated methodically, maintaining order amidst the chaos, displaying skilled training.

Ji Li was also part of the rescue mission, but his section seemed a bit less hectic, attending to simple injuries.

Ji Heng was there helping as well.

Su Xiaocai walked in, not wanting to give them trouble, and proceeded to perform her own various checks.
