“Has the sample delivery from Blue Moon arrived yet?”
“No, according to observations from the telescope, there hasn’t been any movement from them since they initially stopped rotating. We haven’t even seen any s.p.a.ceships…”
“It’s normal not to see any s.p.a.ceships. Their stealth system is quite advanced…”
Colonel Chu shook his head. For now, they could only wait for the aliens to make contact.
Thenj he thought of another issue and asked, “Do we only have one copy of our roster?” “We have two more copies, but peole on it are not as good as the one you saw…” Colonel Chu frowned. It wasn’t that the people on the roster were unattractive. Nurses, flight attendants, fitness trainers—they were all very attractive. But, compared to the tasks they were about to undertake, they were just too “ordinary.”
Moreover, using people from the roster might not be suitable, as it could pose a risk if Zhao Yu found out
“The best candidates would be people who are unaware…”
…..
“And they should have a n.o.ble and attractive status…’1
In ancient times, it would have been the princesses or n.o.ble ladies from various countries who would have been suitable at this time.
After considering it, Colonel Chu believed that young ladies from wealthy families in high society were the most suitable candidates.
However, they couldn’t just force young ladies into seducing Zhao Yu; it had to be voluntary.
“In a capitalist society, one is driven by profit. So, if we tempt the candidate with some sort of incentive, it might just work…”
Colonel Chu thought of the upcoming Blue Moon technology products. When the products were launched and the business opportunities emerged, all the offline stores in the district and even globally would be under their local control.
“I can’t control the other districts, but letting he or her become the general agent for the Great Xia District seems like a tempting offer…”
Blue Moon’s products were revolutionary futuristic technologies. They were worth not just trillions but tens of trillions in market value. After deducting the portion given to Zhao Yu, the remaining amount would be enough to drive the big business tyc.o.o.ns crazy. After pondering for a while, Colonel Chu gradually came up with a plan.
“When the Blue Moon technology products are advertised and the business opportunities are revealed, they should become anxious. That will be the right time…”
“Knock, knock, knock!1‘
While he was contemplating, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!”
a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g entered the room with a triumphant expression.
“What’s the matter?!11 Colonel Chu glanced at her. Since he scolded this woman earlier, he hadn’t seen her for nearly half a day. Now she seemed so happy, he wondered what good news she had encountered.
“I’ve obtained Zhao Yu s information! ” a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g’s nostrils seemed to be pointing towards the sky. She had the look of someone who wanted to be praised for her good work.
Colonel Chu’s eyelid twitched, and he had a foreboding feeling. He said in a deep voice, “Did you go to Chang’an?”
“Yes, 1 didn’t even have lunch. 1 went directly to Chang’an and found a friend who contacted one of Zhao Yu’s university cla.s.smates. 1 obtained valuable information!” a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g emphasized the words “valuable information.”
“Who told you to go?! Didn’t 1 tell you to stop investigating?!” Colonel Chu was speechless. He had just recalled the troops investigating Zhao Yu from Chang’an, and now this woman had run over there again.
Seeing her look like she was about to cry with a grievance, Colonel Chu was truly speechless. Her grandfather might be a well respected figure, but she was really nothing but sloppy.
“Forget it. Just tell me what you did in Chang’an, who you met, and how you questioned them. Give me a detailed account!1’
Realizing that she might have caused some trouble, a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g behaved and gave a summary of her experience in Chang’an.
After listening, Colonel Chu furrowed his brow.
He had ordered most of rhe troops to withdraw because he was afraid that Zhao Yu would meet with his former cla.s.smates and arouse suspicion. But unexpectedly, a.s.sistant Xiao w.a.n.g had inadvertently found Zhao Yu’s ex-girlfriend’s college roommate, and she even went with a local police officer, meanwhile even neglecting to mention any confidentiality agreements.
If she irritated Zhao Yu and he spoke ill of Earth in front of rhe aliens, it would be detrimental to their situation.
Colonel Chu’s gaze gradually turned cold. He said seriously:
“I didn’t know about this, and neither did Earth or Earth Federation. This was your own personal action, understand?11
a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g was frightened and sat on the floor crying.
Colonel Chu was dumbfounded.
After crying for a while, he finally added, “You heard about the conversation between Zhao Yu and me. You found him mysterious and unique, and your heart raced, so you wanted to investigate things related to him privately…”
According to his thinking, with this added explanation, she should be able to save her life in the worst-case scenario—unless…
Unless Zhao Yu really liked men. That would be her end!
Come to think of, a.s.sistant Little w.a.n.g had to be smart enough to do a job like the one she was doing now. She was intelligent, but sometimes acted impulsively and lacked the experience to handle matters smoothly.
Naturally, she understood the meaning behind Colonel Chu’s addition to her explanation. She immediately stopped crying, smiled through her tears, and nodded repeatedly.
After she left, Colonel Chu began to have a headache again.
“Zhao Yu was actually dumped by his ex-girlfriend and disappeared after getting drunk that night…”
With such an experience right before being taken to the Moon by aliens, who knew what kind of destructive behaviour and thoughts he might develop?
If Zhao Yu was starting to have extreme ideas while he was on the Moon, it would be troublesome.
Colonel Chu sighed repeatedly, feeling deeply worried.
“Chang’an… Chang’an…”
“We must send someone there to oversee things…”
He was worried that something might happen. If someone on an official mission went to apprehend Zhao Yu, it would create a major disaster.
After all, Zhao Yu’s importance was immense, and they couldn’t reveal to the public about him.
In China, even news about aliens was limited to a few people in the Xia Capital.
“No, in matters concerning Earth’s safety, 1 must go there personally!”
Colonel Chu decided that it was best for him to go to Chang’an himself. This way, even if there were any unexpected situations, he could handle them promptly.
