Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

When the cheers sounded, Sean also felt the tense muscles all over his body relax, and his legs felt weak for a while. But now is not the time to collapse and enjoy the victory. As a mechanic, the overtime hours have only just begun.

After this encounter, the Silver could be said to be covered in bruises, even riddled with holes. It cannot be repaired by mechanics and robots alone. Mechanics like them must shoulder the heavy responsibility to restore the spaceship to normal as soon as possible.

Xiao En communicated with Chen Sanwan on the task assignment in the communicator, and got the task of handling the cabin passage. Thinking of the passage like a metal forest, he couldn't help but have a headache.

But that kind of troublesome work, no one else can do it except him—Chen Sanwan shivered because of being too busy in the machine repair room, and basically lost the ability to work.

However, when Sean returned to the cabin passage, he saw an unexpected figure there.

The apricot-yellow long skirt, the black and white veil, and the meticulous stance...it is the "good news" lady.

Seeing her, the flashy scene from before appeared again in Sean's mind.

Different from the slightly frightened posture at that time, she has recovered her composure at this time. When she stood quietly in front of the cabin door, her calm and elegant temperament formed an extremely sharp contrast with the mess around her.

After experiencing the danger, the woman followed Xiao En's instructions and honestly hid in the cabin. Fortunately, the metal flow that pierced through the passageway of the cabin never reached her cabin.

Of course, from another perspective, the strongest part of the Silver is the VIP cabin, so Sean told her then that the VIP cabin is the safest refuge. If the place where the bullet was shot happened to be the VIP cabin, perhaps the Silver could have been safe and sound.

Chaotic thoughts lingered in Xiao En's mind for a moment, and then he greeted generously: "Honorable client, please don't worry about the battle situation, we have already won."

The woman turned her head to look at Sean, and said softly, "Thank you for saving me earlier."

Sean's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the woman really noticed the unnatural change of direction of the high-voltage wire.

So he chose to play dumb without hesitation: "Haha, I'm saving everyone. If the engine can't resume running, all of us will not be spared. Thank you, and I should only thank those brothers who were seriously injured in moving the storage tank , they paid much more than me.”

The woman nodded slightly, as if accepting Xiao En's explanation.

"Also, there is something I would like to ask you to do."

Xiao En was taken aback when he heard the words: The topic changed so quickly, did you just fool around about the wires?

Is the other party really naive and easy to trust others, or is it that she doesn't like to accept the grace of saving lives? So just fool around if you can?

However, Sean himself did not attempt to reciprocate, and the other party's reaction was as he wished.

On the other hand, it is also a good opportunity for a woman to ask for him, and Sean happens to have a lot of questions he wants to ask.

So Sean immediately put on a business-like smile: "I'm happy to help you."

"Please open the lid for me, please."

The woman said, and handed over a square metal box. Sean took it, feeling light and empty in his hand, but the lid of the box was fastened tightly without leaving a single gap. There are handles on both sides of the lid, and the rough and heavy handles are not commensurate with the lightness of the box body, so that when Xiao En holds the box, he only feels a little top-heavy.

Sean hugged the box with one hand, grabbed the handle with the other, and stretched it upward...but the lid of the box didn't move at all, as if it was welded dead.

Sean was a little curious. His effort at this time has far surpassed the average adult male, but he still couldn't open the lid of the box. What the hell is this "good news" lady's box for?

While thinking about it, Sean continued to increase his strength. The strength of the physical body is limited, but as long as he uses the force...

Click!

Just when Xiao En raised his grip strength to an extraordinary level, the metal grip in his hand suddenly cracked under the weight.

Sean let go of his hand in amazement, only to see a few pieces of shattered metal sticking to his palm... The seemingly heavy grip was actually just covered with a layer of metal shell, and a very fine circuit structure was hidden in it.

Xiao En was puzzled: So this is not a box cover that can perform miracles with great force? Did I use too much force and broke the lid instead?

Well, why didn't she say it earlier? Could it be that she was fishing on purpose?

It's a pity that before Sean had time to see clearly, the client lady took a step forward and hugged the box back.

"Sorry, there seems to be something wrong with this box..."

Seeing the woman's eagerness, Xiao En was puzzled, but he handed the box back to the other party and said, "Sorry, I didn't know it has a special structure."

"It's okay, I should make it clear in advance."

"If necessary, I can help unlock the electronic lock..."

"No need!" The woman's voice suddenly became decisive.

Sean was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't insist anymore, and smiled and said, "Then come to me if you need it."

"Well, thank you very much."

——

When Sean returned to work, he realized that he had completely missed the opportunity to continue the conversation with the woman and failed to get more information from her.

Probably the whole battle really made him dizzy.

However, Sean reflected on the conversation, and felt that after he crushed the grip, the woman had no interest in continuing the conversation at all. She took back the metal box and turned back to the cabin with a very decisive attitude.

"So, everything is the fault of Dali performing miracles?"

Xiao En muttered to himself with a wry smile, and then pulled out the broken metal pipe that was inserted horizontally on the passage wall.

"Forget it, there is still half of the voyage, let's find a chance to talk later... At worst, ask Li Yu for help. He was the one who led the matter."

——

And just as Sean paralyzed himself with work, the client lady also returned to the room, letting out a helpless sigh and murmured vaguely to herself.

"Isn't it him? I thought it would be okay if it was him... Maybe I really thought too much. But in this way, there is only one clue left, but I can't contact the female suspect at all."

While talking, the woman tapped the metal box on the table lightly. Her fingers gently stroked the handle of the broken box lid, but she didn't try to lift it off.

Because before this, she had tried too many times and changed too many methods, but none of them worked. Now there is only one possibility left, a possibility that she herself cannot verify anyway.

The only clues were two people, and one of them had been ruled out just now.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in front of the woman's eyes, and Li Yu's projection suddenly appeared on the desk.

The woman was startled: "Li Yu?!"

"Sorry to bother you."

The captain of the Silver, who had just commanded a fierce battle, still looked exhausted at this moment, and he was lying on the seat half-sitting and half-lying in the projection.

"Miss, what's the result of the trial just now?"

The woman returned to her previous meticulous attitude, but she had no interest in answering Li Yu's question at all.

"It seems that the result is not very good, so what are you going to do next? Find another clue person to try your luck? That will be very troublesome, after all, even I don't know anything about the news over there... ...But I can introduce you to a very powerful intelligence dealer."

"Enough, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Li Yu sighed: "Is there no need to deceive yourself? I found that thing out of the manor, so I have the right to know, right? Oh, by the way, that kid was also brought out of the manor by me. You use that thing to test He and I should have double the right to know."

"The right to know is not included in the agreement," the woman said.

"Besides the agreement, there is still friendship between us. [Baiyin] and the Nan family have been partners for many years. Thanks to the help of the Nan family, the deserted area can be so vibrant. For this kindness, we always think about it." able to reciprocate."

The woman's tone turned slightly colder: "Thanks to [Bai Yin]'s activity, the Nan family has been criticized in the boardroom, hasn't it?"

Li Yu said: "The four major families, who doesn't have an agent who does dirty work? Didn't they come forward to collect the [Xuanhuang Blood] of [Xiarun Medicine]? The smuggling business of [Beihe Freight] is also distributed to Shall the Hutts run the business? Whose buttocks are clean? Of course, if you really don’t like it, miss, we can restrain ourselves and recuperate during this period of time. I just don’t know how such unilateral restraint can be achieved. How useful is it? That manor was your father's favorite holiday manor, but the inheritance inside requires you to hire outsiders to get it..."

The woman showed a bit of anxiety: "That's enough, you don't need to be too talkative or fussy about the Nan family's affairs. You just need to send me to Xiajing according to the entrustment agreement."

Li Yu said: "Business? That's okay, I just have a business problem and I want to ask for proof. Miss, what happened to the ambush just now? This route was chosen by you, and we also set out I gave up my route because of my trust in you, but the result seems to be a self-inflicted trap. If luck is a little bit worse, all of us will be buried here."

This topic made Li Yu undoubtedly take the initiative.

The woman was silent for a long time, then sighed, "If you need compensation..."

"No, I don't need any compensation, I just need the truth. It just so happens that Lao Peng has already captured a prisoner. Why don't we ask together later?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."
