This is not mechanical ascension.

Caught off guard, Lin Yao was thrown away first. His mandible was distorted and a few bloody teeth popped out of his mouth. When he hit the inner wall of the elevator, he was still a little dazed.

Sting - the rising elevator made a harsh friction sound.

The severe pain that provoked the nerves turned the confusion in Lin Yaoxian's eyes into raging anger, but then a big iron-like hand pressed on his head.

"You talk too much nonsense." Li Ming's cold voice sounded in his ears.

Lin Yaoxian felt panic in his heart, and then suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this guy's life level. How could he be an E-level life form! ?

He was not incapable of resisting, but having been in a high position for a long time had made him unwilling to take risks. In his opinion, Li Ming was at the end of his rope.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝙩𝙬𝙠𝙖𝙣.𝙘𝙤𝙢]

There is no need for him to fight to the death with such a person.

Lin Yaoxian held this breath in his heart and raised his hands to show that he had no other intentions.

Li Ming let go of his hand, and Lin Yao turned around first, cracking his mandible with both hands. He heard a click. He moved his mouth and spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, but did not speak.

bite--

When the elevator door opened, Li Ming walked out first, seemingly not afraid that Lin Yao would attack him from behind.

Lin Yaoxian spat out another mouthful of blood foam and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao was waiting outside the office. He Yu lowered his head and said nothing. Xiao Gang and others looked at him coldly.

"Here we come." He looked peaceful, but when he saw the miserable look of Lin Yaoxian behind Li Ming, his expression changed slightly.

"Yao Xian, please wait here for a while." Qin Xiao brought Li Ming into the room.

"Lin Yaoxian is the chief of the logistics section after all. If you do this, he will lose face. He will wear small shoes for you in the future." Qin Xiao said with a bit of ridicule, but also helplessly:

"Don't be angry. This isn't directed at you alone. The pressure from above is tight, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"Minister, there's no need to pretend now." Li Ming spoke with a hint of sarcasm, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

Seeing Li Ming acting as if there was no one around, Qin Xiao's eyes flashed with gloom, and he sighed: "I know this is unfair to you, but after all..."

"Stop..." Li Ming raised his hand and said casually: "Chen Songnan has disappeared. Xingchuang Company will put a shit basin on your head and ask you to give an explanation."

"You just pushed us all out as scapegoats."

Qin Xiao paused, the expression on his face condensed, and finally became expressionless.

"Don't be so cautious, Minister, I don't have any recording equipment with me." Li Ming shook his head.

"Everything in the world is unpredictable." Qin Xiao spoke, walked to the glass window, overlooking the Silver Gray City, and said in an indifferent tone: "I have understood this truth a long time ago."

"There is another reason. Before you have enough ability, you must endure any injustice."

"I really want to train you, but it's a pity."

He spoke impeccably, as if he had said everything, but also as if he had said nothing.

"Do you have any other wishes?" Qin Xiao is sure of victory, so what if Li Ming knows the truth?

"Well..." Li Ming pondered for a moment. At this time, He Yu opened the door in a panic, "Minister, Secretary General Fan Xiaosu came up with Yang Peng, and others."

"Huh!?" Qin Xiao suddenly turned around, his eyes shining brightly, and when he looked at Li Ming who looked calm, his eyes became dark and uncertain.

It was naturally impossible to stop him. He Yu was pushed aside as soon as he finished speaking.

Fan Xiaosu walked in quietly wearing high heels, with big waves covering half of her face.

Accompanying him were his personal bodyguards and several other officials.

"Qin Xiao, you are accused of seventeen counts of bribery...murder...smuggling, etc. I will temporarily freeze your ministerial powers pending investigation." Fan Xiaosu looked calm and graceful.

Yang Peng behind him gave Li Ming a look. Lin Yaoxian, who was at the door, was still a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, he looked around at everyone and refuted: "Secretary-General Fan, you and I are not in the same system at all. What qualifications do you have to freeze my ministerial powers."

Although Qin Xiao seemed to be groveling before, in fact, as a person sent by the Blue Star City Guard headquarters, as long as the headquarters did not give up on him, he really had nothing to fear.

"Just based on a few words from some people, they accused me of seventeen felonies." Qin Xiao snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Yang Peng, turned around and clicked on the terminal on the table, and said in a deep voice: "City guards above the captain level, Come up, armed with guns!"

Fan Xiaosu's face changed slightly, but he also responded accordingly, opened the smart terminal, and the virtual screen popped up, "Why, that's all!"

A large list of pictures, videos and audio materials are refreshed.

Qin Xiao's heart was shaken, a look of shock appeared on his face, and his sharp eyes instantly fell on Li Ming, obviously losing his composure.

How could that information be leaked! ?

He was extremely surprised. The information he had placed in the quantum-encrypted USB flash drive could appear in the hands of the other party.

The person who handled the USB flash drive held Chen Songnan and Li Ming. Chen Songnan would only threaten him, but it was impossible to break up with him.

The only possibility was Li Ming, but he understood, how could Li Ming crack it in such a short time?

Combined with Li Ming's attitude just now, he understood that there must be something happening secretly that he didn't know about.

The elevator was running nonstop, and people were standing outside Qin Xiao's office, some with fierce looks and some with confused expressions.

"Minister Qin, do you have anything else to say? Everyone present is your subordinates, do you have to lose face?" Fan Xiaosu said lightly.

Qin Xiao's expression was uncertain, but he finally sighed, "I didn't expect things to come to this. Actually, Secretary-General Fan, you misunderstood."

"Oh?" Fan Xiaosu sneered, wanting to see how Qin Xiao would defend himself in the face of these irrefutable evidences.

"I don't know where you got this information from, but I can only say that these are necessary sacrifices for me." Qin Xiao looked solemn.

Everyone has a question mark on their heads this time?

sacrifice? You accept bribes and enjoy all the wealth, is that considered a sacrifice?

Li Ming was the only one who was slightly stunned, but then everything Qin Xiao said was connected by him.

The doubts in his heart were answered, and Li Ming finally understood why Qin Xiao also collected his own criminal information.

Interesting... There was a smile on his lips. The old fox was indeed an old fox. He took one step and looked at the other.

"What's the situation in Silver Gray Star? As we all know, I won't go into too much detail." Qin Xiao paced, looking sad, "The evil forces are intertwined, and even the senior officials of Silver Gray City colluded with them. When I came here with great ambition, it was also To clear it all up.”

"But the difficulty is greater than I imagined. They are monolithic and almost impossible to shake. The only thing I can do is to serve as a tiger and work with them."

"At the same time, I secretly collect their criminal information. In this case, I will inevitably be stained with blood, but I can guarantee that I have filed a record of everything recorded here and reported it to the Blue Star City Guard Headquarters. "

Qin Xiao's words were sonorous and frustrated. When the words fell, everyone looked at each other.

Yang Peng's face changed drastically, and his heart sank to the bottom. Qin Xiao turned himself into an undercover agent?

Lin Yaoxian was dumbfounded, and his respect for Qin Xiao reached its peak at this moment.

"I don't know who gave you the information and what their intentions were, but I can give it to you more completely." Qin Xiao walked past Li Ming, took out the quantum-encrypted USB flash drive, and held it in his hand. .

"This includes collusion between the City Management Committee, the three major gangs in the outer city, and Star Innovation Corporation, as well as evidence of the crimes of seventeen middle- and high-level government officials!"

In the room, the sound of needle dropping could be heard. Some of the city guards outside the room were unable to turn around and continued to be confused.

Yang Peng couldn't help but look at Li Ming. Anyone who was smarter could guess that this was Qin Xiao's method.

If it were only the rhetoric just now, it would be too pale, but with these evidences, the situation is different.

Qin Xiao looked around at everyone, feeling nothing but contempt in his heart.

He had long expected the scene before him. Whether it was Xingchuang Company or the three major gangs, he had something to do with it.

He started setting up this trap at least five years ago in order to one day be able to escape unscathed.

"Of course, these are all my personal words. Maybe they are too vague. I will contact Commissioner Chen right away and he will provide evidence for me." Qin Xiao then said, and in front of everyone, he opened the smart terminal.

You are a little too young to fight with me. Qin Xiao looked at Li Ming with no waves in his heart. It is already good to be able to cause him such troubles, but it is a pity...

If you want to kill people like them, the most important thing is never the evidence.

The smart terminal shook slightly, and Qin Xiao couldn't wait to say: "Commissioner Chen..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Is Secretary-General Fan present?"

Commissioner Chen, one of the members of the City Guard Headquarters, is quite knowledgeable and has a general understanding of the situation here even though he is far away in the Capital Star.

"Your Excellency, Commissioner, I'm here." Fan Xiaosu said.

Qin Xiao didn't care, with a smile of complete control on his face.

"I do not endorse anything Qin Xiao said. You can handle what crime he committed and how he will be punished."

After the words fell, Qin Xiao's face froze, as if thunder was ringing in his ears. He stared blankly at the smart terminal in his hand, his face suddenly became distorted, a kind of overwhelming anger accompanied by despair.

After so many years of support, most of the wealth has gone into it, how could this happen! ?

The pride and pride he had just felt turned into thorns, thrusting into his chest and stirring.

The others were also confused. They looked at Qin Xiao just now and looked determined to win. They really thought that his back-up skills were unmatched. But this is the result?

Has the situation reversed again?

Yang Peng breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Li Ming with a hint of joy. Only then did he realize that his expression was always calm, neither sad nor happy, and he didn't seem to be surprised by the result.

Commissioner Chen ended the correspondence without saying a word.

"Qin Xiao, do you have any other questions?" Fan Xiaosu asked lightly. Li Ming noticed that her expression did not change much, as if she had expected this result.

Qin Xiao raised his head and everyone was shocked. His eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He looked at Li Ming coldly and gritted his teeth: "Is it... you!?"

"How did you do that!"

He couldn't understand why the connections he had accumulated over the years and the plans he had laid out could be wiped out so easily.

How could he affect such a general trend, and who could make Commissioner Chen give up on him without hesitation.

"Minister Qin just said that you have to endure it when you are not capable. What if you are capable?" Li Ming leaned against the glass wall and said calmly.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and their expressions changed slightly.

Although he didn't know why, Minister Qin seemed to think that his fall was inseparable from Li Ming.

"Take it down." Fan Xiaosu ordered. The bodyguard behind him had already prepared everything and was holding two heavy metal blocks.

Qin Xiao's eyes showed struggle, and Li Ming was wary, paying attention to his movements. After all, he was a D-class life form.

But in the end, Qin Xiao did nothing, and his slightly withered hands fell on the two metal blocks.

With a clicking sound, the mechanical structure spread, climbed up his arm along his palm, and finally formed a fit on his back.

Qin Xiao let out a low wail from his throat. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, making him more than a little weak.

Qin Xiao was escorted to the side, and she turned around and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, everyone, I will temporarily take over Qin Xiao's position as minister."

"In addition, Yang Peng made meritorious service in the report and was promoted to the position of Chief of the Internal Affairs Section."

Yang Peng was stunned, now he is... a section chief? It seems a bit too simple.

"Secretary-General, my colleagues." Li Ming said.

"Don't worry." Fan Xiaosu smiled slightly and said with a warm attitude: "Everything Qin Xiao has done before needs to be investigated, especially in the recent period."

"Besides, Sandra also came to me to prove their innocence."

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, their eyes lingering on Fan Xiaosu and Li Ming. They felt that the secretary-general's attitude toward Li Ming was a little strange.

"Niubi, really Niubi..." Old Yao, who was on the edge, secretly raised his finger.

Yang Peng narrowed his eyes and smelled a different smell.

"In addition, the matter is not over yet. If the information here is true, everyone will be busy." Fan Xiaosu held the USB flash drive that Qin Xiao took out in his hand.

Qin Xiao said "heh" and his cheeks twitched, just like a wedding dress! Just a wedding dress!

Fan Xiaosu's operation was not over yet. He contacted the Sixth Patrol Fleet on the spot and asked them to send someone to assist Silver Gray City's next operations.

Needless to say, this will be a major purge.

Until everyone left, it was still hard to believe that Qin Xiao had become a prisoner like this?

Did the sky in Silver Gray City just change?

"Absolutely." Lao Yao suddenly laughed loudly, attracting a lot of attention. "Do you still need to ask? The secretary-general must have taken a liking to my brother."

Yang Peng's face was dark and he shouted: "Yao Guang!"

"Hey, Yang Ke, what are your orders?" Old Yao ran over in a hurry.

Fan Xiaosu and Li Ming were the only two people left in Qin Xiao's office.

This intellectual young woman sat in Qin Xiao's seat, with exquisite and beautiful facial features, and big fluffy waves, adding a bit of charm to her cold and arrogant temperament.

"Professor Wu couldn't get rid of the sand in his eyes. After Yang Peng sent the evidence, I called him immediately. He told me to act with confidence. He still remembers you and knows that you are Yang Peng's nephew." Fan Xiaosu is beautiful His face was full of seriousness:

"There are very few people who can be remembered by Wu."

It seemed that the other party didn't know his specific situation, but thought he was lucky enough to be remembered by Professor Wu.

The two chatted for a while, and he saw that Fan Xiaosu wanted to see off the guests, so he took the initiative to leave. Before leaving, he said: "Secretary-general, can you give me the authority to those advanced training rooms?"

He originally had it, but later Qin Xiao locked it up for him.

"no problem."

Li Ming walked out of the office, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that He Yu's seat was empty, but he didn't care.

…

Half an hour later, a transport spacecraft landed on the roof of the City Guards Building, escorting Wang Zhiheng and others.

"How many times do you want me to tell you Wang? Chen Songnan said at that time that the problem lies with his people, and Sandra can help us prove it."

"This matter has nothing to do with us!"

Wang Zhiheng cursed all the way, and Section Chief Wang frowned. At first, he really thought Qin Xiao had received some information, but after learning the details, he felt something was wrong.

But he had no choice, let alone talk to Wang Zhiheng. Qin Xiao was not only Qin Xiao, but also represented the authority of the Blue Star civilization. The Sixth Patrol Fleet also blocked the extraterrestrial waterways of the Silver Gray Star.

There is no other way than to obey orders.

"We're here, send them to the detention room first, and I'll go find the minister to find out the situation." Section Chief Wang stood up and said in a deep voice.

The cabin door opened and someone was already waiting here.

"Chief Wang." Li Ning stepped forward.

"Is it you?" Section Chief Wang had some impression of this young man, as if he was someone under Yang Peng.

"Li Ning, why are you here to pick us up? Where is the family? Where is Lao Yang?" Wang Zhiheng saw Li Ning and said.

"Team Wang, Yang Ke has just taken over the Internal Affairs Department and is sorting it out, so let me explain the situation." Li Ning explained.

"Oh..." Wang Zhiheng nodded first, and then his eyes widened as if he was electrocuted, "What are you talking about, Yang Ke?"

"Yeah." Li Ning grinned: "Half an hour ago, Captain Yang was promoted to the chief of the Internal Affairs Section by Secretary-General Fan."

"What the hell?" Wang Zhiheng looked envious and jealous: "He...he..."

But Section Chief Wang keenly noticed another point and frowned: "He was promoted by Secretary-General Fan?"

"Yes." Li Ning continued to add: "Former minister Qin Xiao was temporarily deprived of his ministerial position because of seventeen serious crimes."

Section Chief Wang froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. The others looked at each other in confusion. Damn it...if I went out, everything in the department would change?

"What about us?" Wang Zhiheng asked impatiently.

"Of course you are fine, Yang Ke specially asked me to inform you."

"Ha..." Wang Zhiheng grinned widely, and his colleagues around him stepped forward to untie their shackles.

Wang Zhiheng was full of curiosity, put his arms around Li Ning's neck and asked what happened.

After a moment, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Do you think Li Ming and that guy named Fan really have a close relationship?"

"I didn't say that, I heard it from Brother Yao." Li Ning hurriedly explained.

Wang Zhiheng's expression changed, and he punched his palm, "Fuck, this kid really got his taste!"

"Yang Ming is very lucky. His uncle and nephew are so valuable that he can become a section chief. MD, if I had known better, I wouldn't have given directions to that boy."

"Captain Wang, please keep your voice down." Li Ning waved his hands hurriedly, looked around, and whispered with a guilty conscience: "Captain Yang is not allowed to mention this matter."

"He..." Wang Zhiheng curled his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just muttered and said nothing.

Yang Peng is now the head of the internal affairs section, and all he wants to do is give him some shoes.

………

In the next three days, the entire Silver Gray City hierarchy was in turmoil.

There are five people in the management committee, who are responsible for various major departments in Silver Gray City, and these few people have stepped down at the same time.

It is said that when they were taken away, they were all confused. After learning the inside story, they greeted Qin Xiao's eighteen generations of ancestors.

There are many other people affected. Not only the sky of the city guards, but also the sky of the entire Silver Gray City has been changed.

The citizens of Silver Gray City went from being at a loss at first to becoming accustomed to it.

"9%..." Li Ming was naked only in his underpants, his skin was red, and white smoke was rising from his body.

The detection device in front of him revealed his current development progress. Now everything is stopped. He is too lazy to care about external affairs and has been concentrating on development.

After turning on the ability, the development speed can be tripled. Even so, the development speed is not optimistic.

"Buy a few more genetic testing equipment, the effects will be superimposed, and the development speed should be increased a lot." Li Ming thought, he had this idea for a long time, and now that he is free, it should be put on the agenda.

The money is not much on the surface. I got paid the salary two days ago, plus bonuses, which is enough for fifteen thousand star coins. It's a pity that it's a drop in the bucket.

The Black Hole Network still has balance, but he doesn't want to be cut off because of this trivial matter.

The next time he sees Lao Wu, he must be shameless and point out everything he says, he thought.

"Brother Li, oops, you figured it out." As soon as he walked out of the special training room, he saw Lin Yaoxian standing not far away greeting him.

There was a flattering smile on his face.

This guy talks nonsense to people and ghosts, he just lives on the sidelines and drifts with the wind, but surprisingly, he really hasn't participated in any shady activities.

Logistics section chief Du Chengdu was captured, but he was safe for the time being.

"Chief Lin, what a coincidence." Li Ming wiped his hair.

"What a coincidence, I've been waiting here for you for six or seven hours." Lin Yaoxian felt resentful.

"Do you have a problem with me?"

Lin Yaoxian said with a smile on his face: "I have reserved a seat at Yincheng Hotel and would like to invite you over for a meal."

"Eating?" Li Ming glanced at him and shook his head: "Not interested."

"Minister Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Lin Yaoxian's expression changed, he looked around like a thief, and whispered:

"Little brother, please don't worry about any offending I have done before. You also know that when I was working under that bastard Qin Xiao, there were many things that I couldn't do anything about."

"I know your family is not well off. I have saved some money over the years and am ready to sponsor you."

Did you send money? Li Ming was slightly surprised, right? Is this guy afraid of being like this?

"Little brother doesn't know yet, but Brother Yang is now the chief of the internal affairs section and the head of the logistics section." Lin Yaoxian's tone was full of envy: "Professor Wu specially praised his courage to report to the superiors."

Li Ming understood that this old Wu was quite roundabout, ostensibly raising Yang Peng's identity to radiate him, achieving an indirect shelter effect.
