Chapter 1224: Chapter 1085: Facing It Directly - 1086: Black Humor (Double Chapter)

Qu Jianlei and the others did not appear; it was still the butler who received them.

In fact, the tools ships that nobles use daily are closely tied to their personal safety.

If someone wants to investigate the whereabouts of the tools ships, nobles can refuse to report them unless there are sufficient reasons.

The butler of the Gustine family refused without hesitation—without relevant legal documents, don’t expect to get any information!

Even if the other party could produce documents, he would not provide information; though in that case, he would have to notify the tenant.

The military personnel found the butler’s resistance quite uncomfortable, and couldn’t help but utter a threat, "You better think carefully—Qingyuan is not peaceful now!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, a colleague pulled him aside.

"Alright, we’re just assisting in the investigation, is it necessary to stir up so much trouble?"

This person was still a bit unconvinced, "Given the current situation, which noble would dare to provoke trouble? Isn’t this Gustine family too full of themselves?"

The colleague pulled him again, then spoke sternly, "What is it with nobles, does it concern us?"

"That’s something for the government and Military Police Department to consider. If you insist on getting involved... what identity are you planning to use?"

Upon hearing this, the person immediately fell silent.

It really is like that—although the Military Police Department is also part of the military hierarchy, in essence, they are opposed to most military personnel.

No need to say more—even Si Xi Supreme himself doesn’t fully belong to the military.

The military can inquire about the whereabouts of the Military Police Department’s leader, but if you mistake yourself as the Military Police, then your role is wrong.

Within the military, opposing sentiments between units are not encouraged, but you have to understand which side you should be on, right?

It is for this reason that, while the military is also tracking Si Xi’s information, those carrying it out are merely going through the motions.

Moreover, Qu Jianlei believes that if the Nutrient Injection dares to undertake this, it must be because of military influence.

Another ten or so days have passed, and Si Xi Supreme still has no news, and the aftermath of the black market case is also slowly diminishing.

The government and military are not very tolerant of this—having finally found an excuse to rectify the nobility, how can they easily give up?

Especially since the government is still waiting for Imperial feedback, wanting to confirm whether to revoke the Viscount’s fief.

For any level of government, reclaiming a noble’s fief is a recognized achievement.

Not to mention this is the Wealth Star, where noble fiefs are plentiful and their arrogance rife—achieving such results here is exceedingly difficult.

Of course, the military is also uninterested in the noble fiefs—these are areas even the military cannot easily enter.

Thus, an interesting development occurs—the government and military simultaneously apply to the Imperial for sending another Military Police head.

Si Xi, as the initiator of the black market case, his disappearance... turns out, no one cares much about it.

This response has a touch of black humor—everyone gained benefits from following him.

Yet this is reality—otherwise, when Si Xi Supreme decided to act against Qu Jianlei and the others, why would he need to guard against others stealing credit?

It can only be said that his concerns are objectively present.

And besides, when someone is around, we have sentiments. When they’re no longer contactable, others become even less concerned about their feelings.

It’s just that no one is certain where he went—the entire fleet disappeared, hence the demand for temporarily sent personnel to take charge.

If Si Xi weren’t so assertive, maybe everyone would directly announce his disappearance!

Qu Jianlei was quite surprised to learn about the subsequent developments.

"I didn’t expect this guy to cause such a stir, and after disappearing, no one asks anymore."

But Jia Shuqing has a different opinion, "This might have to do with the Nutrient Injection’s activities, ignoring someone also requires courage."

Qu Jianlei also agrees with this view, "Anyway, it’s his own doing."

"Right now, I hope these peaceful days can continue...I’ve found that the capabilities of the Nutrient Injection really can’t be underestimated."
