Shang Zhuo imdiately shut his mouth.
That was Commander Gu’s wife!
He dared to joke about Agros, but he certainly didn’t dare to joke about Commander Gu’s wife.
Sitting at the head of the table, Gu Jue slowly raised his head and looked over.
"What’s going on?"
Agros didn’t hide anything and imdiately began, "Pandora has yet to return to the team. Her family called; she has been out for over half an hour. Su Wan said she would go find her."
At this ti, the spaceship was about to launch.
Gu Jue stood up abruptly, put on his military cap, and walked out.
Li Rui and the others hurriedly followed, "Commander!"
"Continue with the original plan; take the n to the training base. I’ll catch up later," he said.
He was the primary commander, so the Royal Star Fleet’s important assessnts couldn’t be delayed.
But he was also a husband.
The possibility that his wife might be in danger, however slight that possibility was,
was a risk Gu Jue absolutely wouldn’t take.
The other starship fleet commanders all looked towards Li Rui.
Li Rui said, "Let’s stick to the original plan and move out."
Once everyone else had left, Shang Zhuo walked out with Agros, bumping him with his shoulder.
"Your Starship Fleet shouldn’t have any problems, after all, Commander Gu takes good care of you."
Agros looked at him coldly, "Each mber of our squad has worked very hard over these three years, especially the Ninth Squad. Under Su Wan’s leadership, the squad mbers have always accomplished their missions excellently. In this regard, Commander Gu has never given us any special treatnt."
Shang Zhuo muttered, "Alright, alright, what’s the rush? In the end, the assessnt will be fair. Whether our fleets can make it through intact will depend on our real strength."
Agros ignored him and turned to leave.
Military boots clanged against the ground.
anwhile, Gu Jue had already boarded a flying vehicle, ordering White Tiger to pull up the street surveillance.
White Tiger reported, "Master, the flying vehicle that the madam took passed by this coordinate point."
Gu Jue ordered, "Head there imdiately."
"Yes!"

Su Wan was at this ti walking into a very bustling market street.
She frowned slightly.
Logically, on such an important day, Pandora’s personality wouldn’t incline her to go wandering around the market.
Even if she did go to the market, she wouldn’t just shut off her communicator.
Su Wan: "Vermilion Bird, have you detected any anomalies in this area?"
Vermilion Bird: "Master, no, this is just an ordinary residential area."
Su Wan remained vigilant because Pandora wouldn’t just disappear without a reason.
There were no signs of a fight, which ant Pandora hadn’t had a conflict with anyone.
She must have been tricked away.
At this mont, soone aboard a spaceship, wearing a battle suit, received a ssage.
X: "Su Wan has also entered that area; she is very likely to find Pandora. What should we do?"
The man’s lips curled slightly, "Use the old thod, keep her there too!"
X: "But that’s the Commander’s wife!"
The man replied, "What’s there to be afraid of? We’re not telling you to kill her. Just keep them trapped, and then we can release them after a few days."
Without Su Wan and Pandora, the Ninth Squad of the Eighth Starship Fleet would essentially be finished.
One squad going down could affect the entire Starship Fleet.
By then, most of them wouldn’t pass the assessnt!
X: "Alright."
After setting down the communicator, the man straightened his military cap.
A comrade beside him asked, "Hiber, what are you looking at that’s got you so pleased?"
Another person said, "Do you also think that our Seventh Starship Fleet can definitely beat the Eighth Starship Fleet?"
Hiber raised his head with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, they will certainly lose!"
After being eliminated by the Eighth Starship Fleet, Hiber was not willing to accept defeat. He then found soone, spent money, and finally succeeded in entering the Seventh Starship Fleet.
However, he harbored resentnt towards Su Wan and the Eighth Starship Fleet all along.
With the support of soone behind him.
That’s why today’s scene took place.
Although Su Wan still didn’t know that Hiber was causing trouble behind her back,
she guessed that Pandora was probably not in life-threatening danger now.
At that mont, a little boy walked up to her.
In his hands, he held a bouquet of artificial roses.
"Sister, would you like to buy so flowers?"
Su Wan looked down at him, a purebred boy with sowhat ragged clothes, yet his skin was very fair, his eyes a bit anxious, his mouth pressed tightly.
Vermilion Bird said in Su Wan’s mind, "Master, there is sothing wrong with this little boy."
Su Wan nodded slightly and said to the boy with a smile, "Okay, I’ll buy all these flowers. How much are they?"
The little boy’s eyes lit up, "Sister, you’re such a good person! There are many more flowers at my ho. Would you like to buy so? I can give you a discount!"
"Why should I buy them?"
"...My grandmother is ill. I need to sell all the flowers to raise enough money to treat her."
The little boy was very nervous.
His hand was clutching the basket too tightly, whitening his knuckles.
Vermilion Bird: "This child is too fake. This is the main star, where there are no people who can’t afford dical care. Moreover, even if they run out of Star Coins, if the elderly have indeed an ergency, they can be admitted to the hospital first, take out a loan for the treatnt, and repay it gradually later."
Vermilion Bird: "This kind of scam is too fake. Who would believe it."
Su Wan couldn’t respond to Vermilion Bird at the mont.
But she knew that so people would believe it.
For instance, Pandora.
Su Wan nodded, "Alright, I’ll buy however many flowers you have at ho."
In the little boy’s eyes, a hint of hesitation flashed by, but after a while, it was replaced by another emotion.
One could tell that the child was not very skilled at lying.
Pandora, who had been deceived by such an obvious lie... Su Wan sighed. It seed she needed to take so ti to give the young miss a proper lesson.
Su Wan followed the little boy, passing through the bustling streets and alleys.
Eventually, the paths beca narrower, and the people began to thin out.
They gradually reached a more secluded area.
Vermilion Bird: "This environnt is perfect for setting up an ambush. Why doesn’t Pandora have any vigilance unless it’s soone familiar?"
Su Wan knew, apart from being led by soone familiar, there was another reason.
It was that Pandora’s combat power was very strong, which ant she had no reason to be wary of the little boy in front of her.
At that mont, Su Wan’s foot stepped on sothing, making a creaking noise.
She stopped her steps.
The little boy, who was already very nervous, saw her suddenly stop and turned to look back.
"Sister, what’s wrong?"
Standing up naturally, Su Wan slipped the object in her palm quietly into her pocket.
She said, "It’s nothing, just tripped. How much longer until we reach your ho?"
"Just another three to five minutes, we’re almost there, very soon."
"Good."
What Su Wan had put into her pocket was a scale of a rmaid.
Silver in color.
Three minutes later, the little boy stopped in front of a dark building, .
He appeared a bit uneasy but still gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, this is my ho."
