Chapter 4171 - 4190: Deep Into the Rebels

Security Bureau.

Lin Chen sat on a chair, glancing around the surroundings, his gaze landing on Qiu Chan’s face opposite him.

"Team leader, calling me back, is there some mission?"

Qiu Chan smiled and said, "You’re ready, come with me for a trip to Planet No. 7."

Sensitive words in Lin Chen’s mind were triggered: "Planet No. 7, it seems like you’ve mentioned it to me before, the Zhang Family over there..."

Qiu Chan nodded: "Yes, Planet No. 7, but it’s not targeting the Zhang Family."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Insurgents?"

Qiu Chan nodded, his expression serious: "Yes, according to the information we’ve received, the insurgents plan to make a move over there. If they succeed, there will be major upheaval."

Lin Chen asked in confusion: "Although this indeed falls under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau’s work scope, you’re in charge of the First District, how does this matter on Planet No. 7 fall under you? Are there no more people in the Security Bureau?"

Qiu Chan chuckled lightly: "Because I’m Level 9, and because you’re with me."

Lin Chen sat up straight, pointing to his nose: "Me?"

Qiu Chan nodded: "Yes, the situation over there is complicated. If too many people infiltrate, it’s easy to be detected. If the people who go aren’t strong enough, things could easily go wrong. Taking these two factors into consideration, this task has fallen on my shoulders."

"You are a cultivator, mastering various magical techniques, capable of Star Sky Jump, and can move people and objects, being a one-man army. Working with you would be even more effective."

A one-man army?

Lin Chen pouted, the evaluation of him by these people was quite high.

"All right, when do we set off?"

"Tomorrow."

Lin Chen nodded briskly: "Okay!"

In the evening, Lin Chen mentioned the "business trip" to his family, and quietly boarded a spaceship to Planet No. 7 with Qiu Chan the next day.

To avoid drawing attention, both used fictitious identities set up beforehand by the Security Bureau.

Their identities were as a couple, native Emperor Star People, going to Planet No. 7 for their honeymoon.

The two of them stayed in a rather spacious double room with a bathroom included, but there was only one big bed in the room.

Lin Chen walked into the room, surveying the space: "The room is quite big."

Qiu Chan laughed and said, "We bought first-class tickets. Even though we’re on a mission, there’s no need to force ourselves to sleep in a hard sleeper, right?"

Lin Chen’s eyes scanned the empty space: "If the bed is moved, there should be enough space for a small bed..."

Qiu Chan volunteered: "Okay, you set up the bed, I’ll sleep on the small bed."

Lin Chen teased: "You’re the leader and a woman, letting you sleep on the small bed would make me, as the subordinate, seem quite inattentive, wouldn’t it?"

Qiu Chan glanced at Lin Chen and snorted: "Since when did you ever consider me as the leader?"

The bed in front of Lin Chen floated on its own, moving towards the window, Lin Chen raised his hand, and a comfortable, soft single bed flew out from his spatial ring, snugly fitting beside the big bed.

Lin Chen looked satisfied: "It fits perfectly, not bad."

Lin Chen sat on the small bed, patting the elastic, integrated mattress, and laughed: "You wouldn’t believe it, but this single bed I prepared is a custom model, the best on the market, with sleep-enhancing features. It’s way more comfortable than the big bed."

Qiu Chan’s lips curled: "Who’s the one who said I’m a good leader beneath T-shirt being a subordinate, I’ll take the small bed then."

Lin Chen chuckled without arguing with Qiu Chan.

Both being cultivators, anywhere is a place to sleep.

Lin Chen got up, leaned back on the big bed, laughed, and said: "All right, the good stuff is for the leader to enjoy, making sure you sleep well."

Qiu Chan cast a glance at Zhao Qing and sat down on the chair beside them.

Lin Chen stuffed a pillow behind his back, adjusted his posture to recline more comfortably.

"From what you said, this seems serious this time, just the two of us?"

Qiu Chan explained: "Our task is mostly reconnaissance. If after understanding the situation, we need help, I have a secret order which can mobilize the garrison on Planet No. 7."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "Alright, since we’re idle now, why not tell me what exactly is going on. What mission do we have, so I could be mentally prepared?"

Qiu Chan responded with an "Hmm" and said: "To put it simply, signs of insurgent activity have been found on Planet No. 7, and it might involve the insurgents’ military advisor, Nan Zhongbai."

"Nan Zhongbai is one of the core figures of the insurgency, with great strategic skills. Since he appeared, the insurgents’ ambition must be substantial. So our purpose this time is reconnaissance, and to see if we can quietly find Nan Zhongbai."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Want to capture him?"

Qiu Chan laughed: "He’s one of the Federation’s most wanted. He is like the brain of the insurgents; capturing him would make dealing with the insurgency much easier."

Worry flashed on Lin Chen’s face: "Given how important he is, he himself or those around him must be very formidable, right? It surely won’t be easy to seize him?"

Lin Chen, although now quite powerful, and considered an expert in the entire Federation, clearly wasn’t enough when truly facing the powerhouses within the insurgents.

Like the old guy from the last kidnapping incident who could take Lin Chen’s life with one knife, and since they’re aiming to penetrate the insurgents’ core and capture their key figure, it’s inevitable they might face such individuals again.

Qiu Chan knew what Lin Chen was worried about and comforted: "Rest assured, though the insurgents do have formidable figures, I’m also Level 9, and when things happen, I’ll be at the forefront..."
