Chapter 172: A strange starship disguised as a Red Star supply transport ship, the person behind Xu
Everyone was silent, waiting for Qi Xiaoyuan to continue. Zhou Huaishan was particularly worried, as her face still showed obvious anxiety.
"A while ago, a supply transport ship from Red Planet made a brief stop at a fringe planet on Blue Planet."
Dai Yi frowned. What did this have to do with Xu Fei's abnormality this time? But he didn't interrupt Qi Xiaoyuan, but continued to wait for him to speak.
Qi Xiaoyuan also frowned. "This supply ship stopped at the Federation's starship station a few days ago. My colleague said that he went to the starship station that day to count the supplies shipped to the fringe planets and saw Xu Fei. Xu Fei appeared on the supply transport ship marked for Red Star."
The person who reacted the fastest was Gu Chengheng, the current head of the Gu family.
Gu Chengheng directly pointed out the problem.
"A few days ago? Impossible. Red Planet was in a state of panic over supply shortages and civil unrest because all of its supply transport ships were bombed by Fila Planet. If the transport ships that appeared a few days ago had Red Planet's markings, the first thing to consider would be camouflage, right?"
The others also reacted.
Gu Ling sat beside her father, somewhat cautiously. She asked, "Dad, what if it's the supply ship that Red Planet recently acquired?"
Dai Pingchuan and Qi Xiaoyuan both shook their heads, denying Gu Ling's statement.
Dai Pingchuan, "This time, Red Planet has a huge funding gap, so they chose to purchase two second-hand material transport ships from our Federation at the same price."
Zhou Huaishan's expression didn't improve much. "Yes, they also discussed with us about purchasing second-hand material transport ships, but our transport ships are all custom-made at high prices, and we couldn't agree on the price."
Lance's expression was complicated. "They also ordered two second-hand supply transport ships from us. Our supply transport ships are used to transport ore. They don't have the full range of functions of ordinary transport ships, so the price is lower. That's why Red Star came to us."
Qi Xiaoyuan nodded. "My colleague not only mentioned this to me, he also showed me a video he subconsciously filmed when Xu Fei appeared on the Red Star supply transport ship."
Everyone was waiting for him to play the video. Qi Xiaoyuan looked at the personal computer screen beside him, called up the video clip he had just asked his colleagues for, and played it on the multi-person communication channel.
The supply transport ship in the picture does have the logo of Red Planet.
and……
It was a material transport ship that looked very good in appearance. Gu Chengheng even saw that it was equipped with the latest external energy gun muzzle.
When Gu Chengheng pointed this out, everyone was silent.
This means that Gu Chengheng’s initial guess was confirmed.
This wasn't a Red Planet ship, but it was a cargo ship that marked Red Planet. It was a disguise.
Elder Yin looked at Qi Xiaoyuan and asked, "Did the Starfleet Station capture anyone on this transport ship?"
Qi Xiaoyuan shook his head. "Because Xu Yanqing's incident has been causing quite a stir in the military lately, my colleagues became curious about Xu Fei's appearance on that supply ship. He later investigated the landing and entry and exit records of the supply ship that appeared at the starship station that day."
Qi Xiaoyuan's expression was very serious. "There is no record of the so-called Red Star supply ship entering or leaving."
Everyone's expressions were difficult to control for a moment.
This is not a good thing.
Dai Pingchuan suddenly stood up and said, "Now that the clues are here, I will arrange for the Dai family to intervene in the investigation. I will reconnect the communication when I have information."
After saying that, Dai Pingchuan’s communication screen went dark.
Kate's first reaction was to send a message to Song Mo.
Mr. Yin contacted his two sons. Yuan Bao and Yuan Chi had both gone to Zhuchen, so when he decided to do something, his two sons were his first choice.
Everyone began to use their own connections and relationships to intervene in the investigation of this matter.
Zhou Huaishan's heart was pounding for a while before Qi Xiaoyuan brought him back to his senses.
Qi Xiaoyuan was very worried, "Ashan, is this what is bothering you?"
Zhou Huaishan looked at Qi Xiaoyuan, his eyes filled with deep worry.
Qi Xiaoyuan looked at her and said, "If you still feel uneasy, I will come to you after I finish the work at hand."
Zhou Huaishan didn't say anything. She smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yuan, you know me. I can't be so uneasy for no reason. My current situation must be my subconscious protection mechanism, reminding me. It's just that I still can't figure out what happened."
Qi Xiaoyuan felt sorry for Zhou Huaishan. If someone possessed special perception, they would be the only one to worry about something that no one else was worried about, while no one else would be affected. Only the person who perceived it would be affected.
Qi Xiaoyuan didn't try to comfort Zhou Huaishan any more. He just said, "Ashan, wait for me. I'll quickly finish arranging things here and then come find you. Don't stay alone. Go to the meeting first, or..."
Qi Xiaoyuan wanted to let Zhou Zhou go back to accompany her first, but then he remembered that Zhou Zhou had gone to Zhuchen.
Qi Xiaoyuan thought of Zhou Huaishan's brother and sister-in-law again, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Zhou Huaishan never married, but Qi Xiaoyuan didn't really mind. Because even if Zhou Huaishan never married him, Qi Xiaoyuan would stay with her forever, so there was nothing to worry about.
Even if they don't have children in the future, Qi Ji and Zhou Zhou will respect them and provide them with support in their old age.
What Qi Xiaoyuan was most angry about was that Zhou Huaishan had to bear all the Zhou family's business alone.
Zhou Zhou was too young to handle the heavy responsibility and had psychological problems. But Zhou Huaishan's brother and sister-in-law disappeared for years.
He also instructed Qi Zhongyuan and him not to tell Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Zhou.
He said that he was afraid that the more his family knew, the more dangerous it would be. But later on, Zhou Huaishan became the pillar of the Zhou family, and Zhou Zhou also grew up and became more and more promising.
These two people still don't want to reveal their whereabouts or contact their families.
Qi Xiaoyuan understood Qi Zhongyuan and Yin Hanxing's concerns. After all, when they investigated the Xu family, they discovered that the starship tragedy that year was vaguely linked to Xu Yanqing. The brother and sister-in-law were worried that Qi Ji would be in danger, so although they contacted their family, they still chose to keep the matter secret from Qi Ji.
But at least someone at home knew about it and could keep in touch with his family, which made his family feel more at ease and allowed them to concentrate on cultivating Qi Ji.
Zhou Huaichen was a selfish person. He even hid the truth from his own sister, Zhou Huaishan. He said he wanted to protect his sister and son, but that wasn't appropriate. This, in fact, could be considered a form of distrust.
Zhou Huaishan is the pampered daughter of the Zhou family, but the Zhou family has also not neglected her education. She was able to quickly take over the Zhou family after Zhou Huaichen and Ren Qizhi got into trouble, which shows that she is also smart and resourceful.
Qi Xiaoyuan felt unfair for Zhou Huaishan and thought that his brother-in-law was a worthless person.
However, he really couldn't tell Zhou Huaishan, because once he did, it would be equivalent to exposing the fact that his brother and sister-in-law were still alive.
Qi Xiaoyuan disconnected the communication, quickly finished the work at hand, and arranged for the Qi family's personnel to go to the starship station to investigate the disguised material transport ship that day. Qi Xiaoyuan still used the port left by Doudou to communicate with Doudou alone.
Doudou agreed to help screen the starship that Xu Fei appeared in that day.
Qi Xiaoyuan then hurriedly left the military headquarters.
He was still worried about Zhou Huaishan staying alone. Just from seeing Zhou Huaishan through the light screen, he could tell that her face was already pale.
No marriage, no children. But, Qi Xiaoyuan still has a lover.
