Chapter 1211: Chapter 1077: Storm

The Nutrient Injection didn’t say many unpleasant things because it wasn’t necessary, he just needed to clearly state his viewpoint.

The other’s actions were disorderly, not meaning he had to mimic them—being oneself was sufficient.

While he was conversing with the other party, the Gustine clan’s employees were not idle, they gathered equipment for comprehensive filming.

This kind of countermeasure... how should I say? It actually depends on one’s own strength.

If your strength isn’t powerful enough, filming is useless, but if it’s sufficient, even a little evidence counts.

The Government and Military personnel can’t ignore such actions.

Today’s matter didn’t have much to do with the Government, they came merely to serve as witnesses.

Seeing the Military was at a loss for words, they interjected softly, ”Is there any need to further understand the Military Police Department’s intent?”

—You’ve informed their Supreme to go to the Military Region, without giving a reason?

The ones who came from the Military were actually a bit bewildered, the task they were burdened with was just to notify the other party, there were no other instructions.

It’s not that they didn’t want to learn more, it’s just that it’s always been the way the Military operated, emphasizing strict adherence to orders.

Whatever directive comes from above, those below merely execute it—the soldier’s duty is to obey orders.

As for thinking ”why” or ”by whose authority”... those are not what soldiers need to consider!

Therefore, soldiers could only say, ”Anyway, we have already notified,” and then turn away and depart.

The Nutrient Injection found it perplexing, shaking his head muttering, ”Truly inexplicable!”

However, although he handled it lightly, it didn’t mean he wasn’t dubious in his heart.

Upon returning to the main manor, he went to find Qu Jianlei, ”Boss, what exactly is Si Xi up to?”

Earlier, Qu Jianlei had analyzed diligently, concluding that the Military couldn’t possibly be targeting their Battle Array.

Thus, he too was puzzled: Why were the Military Police approaching them?

”Could it be the Stephen family causing trouble? I’ll arrange an investigation... Rationally, it shouldn’t be?”

Little Lake had been persistently monitoring the Stephen family, soon providing an answer: they were behaving quite honestly!

The Nutrient Injection himself had information channels, seeking out the boss’s AI, attempting to verify through it.

Given the boss expressed no intel, he promptly declared: Leave this matter to me, boss you need not worry!

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei truly didn’t continue to concern himself—the Nutrient Injection guy managed tasks reliably indeed.

Si Xi also received information from the Military promptly.

The others unexpectedly spoke insolently in public? He smirked nonchalantly: The impotent fury is merely a weak person’s way to conceal panic.

He wasn’t bothered by such minor slights, but mentally noted them.

Eventually, he’ll make them understand that reckless speech incurs costs!

However, regarding this encounter between the Military and the others, he expressed satisfaction with the result.

—From the start, he hadn’t planned to resolve the issue swiftly, this was not an urgent matter.

His aim was to probe, probe the other’s confidence and reactions.

People say he is volatile and easily angered, but facing a force capable of detaining six Supremes, how could he possibly be mindlessly impulsive?

The response from the opposite side was decent... first, someone stepped forward, an accomplishment other forces hadn’t achieved!

This indicates the other side harbors fear towards the Military, even deploying a Supreme!

A small-statured Supreme showing some temper? That’s normal, without a bit of temper, can one be considered a Supreme?

Anyhow, even with temper outbursts, the opponent didn’t dare voice overly excessive remarks...

Everything indicates that the opposition is indeed challenging to provoke, but not as ruthless and terrifying as rumors suggest.

Tackling such tough adversaries requires patience, not brute force, ideally seizing an opportunity in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, he licked his lips, eyes revealing an unusual gleam, and chuckled softly.

”Haven’t encountered such intriguing people in a long time, heh, refusing a toast but opting for punishment...”

However, unexpectedly, later that day, a seasoned Supreme from the military contacted him.

This Supreme was from the main Military base, exceptionally powerful and highly reputable, having generally gotten along with Si Xi in the past.

Nonetheless, ”good rapport” was merely others’ perception, perhaps that Supreme thought so too.

But Si Xi understood, this old-timer had been disrespectful towards him several times!

Back then, he casually laughed it off, generously indicated indifference, and others perceived he had respect for elders.

In truth, he felt somewhat aggrieved internally, particularly as this happened... more than once.

It’s not about bearing a grudge, he wasn’t really that petty.

Yet, if given a chance not to show deference, he’d unequivocally do so, feeling smug inwardly.

This Supreme contacted him, curious about what transpired between him and the people on the Gustine clan’s territory.

Evidently, someone had appealed to this person, hoping they’d extend help.

To this, Si Xi stated, his responsibility was military discipline, probing those people must concern military discipline issues.

Plainly, someone had reported it to him, he couldn’t ignore it, even if he was well aware of the other’s significant background.

As for the specifics, he wasn’t at liberty to divulge them due to military regulations.

However, he could generally confirm that the informant was making false accusations with the intent to put him in a difficult position.

Si Xi solemnly stated that while he couldn’t guarantee never investigating these people again, it was highly unlikely.

After all, working in military disciplinary investigations, the unexpected is too frequent, and no one dares to speak in absolutes.

But he also emphasized: with your backing, when I investigate these people again, I will be even more cautious!

To the uninformed, Si Xi’s words would certainly make him seem principled and reasonable.

The line between work and friendship is clearly drawn, yet he’s making an effort to balance them.

The esteemed Supreme who came to discuss matters really couldn’t offer any opinion, and saying more could backfire.

So he could only express that he wasn’t seeking favoritism intentionally but owed a favor, just wanted to inquire.

I know your work in military discipline isn’t easy, and dealing with them isn’t simple either. If the matter can pass like this, it’s the best outcome.

Si Xi didn’t ask why the other party was difficult to handle—though he wanted to—but initiating the question would certainly arouse suspicion.

So he could only say, I’m really glad, old friend, that you’re understanding. Let’s drink together when we meet.

After hanging up the call, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Trying to interfere with my plan... do you even have what it takes?

At this moment, Little Lake still had a chunk of data left on his wristwatch.

Unfortunately, Si Xi was adept at playing mental games and rarely exposed his true emotions.

Big Head Butterfly truthfully reported his observations back to the boss.

Upon hearing it, Qu Jianlei understood immediately that it was likely Nutrient Injection had arranged for someone to seek information from Si Xi.

As for the reason Si Xi provided, not only did his colleagues in the military believe it but even Qu Jianlei himself bought it.

The reason was indeed impeccable; investigating military discipline couldn’t just be about catching offenders in the act, seeking clues is normal with ambition.

The key is Qu Jianlei is also aware that those on Qingyuan Star who look down on him are not few.

Even setting aside the previous battle, the Gustine Clan’s relocation from Qingyuan was clearly due to having too many enemies.

——If there were any other options, who would abandon their ancestral holdings and relocate their entire family?

The newly appointed Military Discipline Officer, being forceful and wanting to set precedents, would naturally incite some to make reports.

No matter the result, at least it can irk someone.

Believing he had unraveled the logic of the matter, Qu Jianlei didn’t dwell on it further.

Five days later, new information came from the Military Police Department.

This time, they collaborated with the main military’s Special Operations Team and busted a black market in a military club.

These black markets involving military personnel aren’t uncommon.

Including items Qu Jianlei had once procured from the black market, many were circulating from within the military.

More extreme were second-hand small attack ships—even main ships appear occasionally.

However, obviously, the latter is not something ordinary people can handle.

The black market in a military club sounds shocking at first.

But those in the know understand that truly sensitive items would never appear there.

Therefore, raiding this black market holds symbolic rather than practical significance.

Yet, this raid did uncover some startling items.

For example, there was an organization having female soldiers openly sell... their dignity.

In short, the amount of money involved isn’t huge, but the nature is extremely vile and shocking.

Using this case as a starting point, the Military Police Department unraveled a series of related cases.

One Viscount’s territory was raided, and the results were extraordinary.

The government of Qingyuan has already reported to the Imperial, requesting to revoke the Viscount’s land to serve as a warning to others.

This is an extremely severe punishment already.

Revoking noble lands isn’t unheard of, but typically only involves grave matters.

Yet, merely over a black market smuggling case, to request revocation of land is laughable.

Even Qu Jianlei was rattled, prompting him to specially have Little Lake investigate if this guy was colluding with rebels.

However, Little Lake’s investigation yielded no concrete evidence linking the Viscount to rebels.

This doesn’t mean the person is without suspicion, it could also be some evidence was concealed and didn’t make it to the database.

As corollary evidence, several other nobles received hefty fines from the government!

The fines were vaguely themed, mostly accusing them of engaging in activities unfit for noble status.

But even more astonishingly, the nobles who received fines all obediently accepted and paid up.

As the issue escalated, Si Xi Supreme gained significant renown on Qingyuan Star, his fame skyrocketing!

Even someone like Qu Jianlei, who normally stays indoors, couldn’t help but wonder: Might this guy circle back again?
