Capítulo 1138: Chapter 904: A Special Meeting
After Ding Chuan Academy successfully advanced, since there was no need to participate in the mecha team competition, Bach waved his hand generously and gave all team members half a day of free time.
This is the most prosperous and affluent planet in the entire Federation, and many people might never be able to enter the Capital Star in their lifetime.
Many students, upon graduating, have to travel far to the borders of the Federation.
For ordinary students, the chance to enter here is limited, qualifications are scrutinized, the expenses are high, and classes are distinct…
So, the opportunity to visit and travel around Capital Star is not always available.
“Let’s go, let’s go, hurry up and join me in checking out the mecha shops here. The mecha shops on Capital Star must have many interesting things. It’s the first time I’m showing up at such an important occasion!”
“Right now, my little heart is pounding like crazy. Feel it.”
White Hair grabbed Fatty’s right hand, guiding it towards his chest.
As a result, Young Master Harry’s whole body bristled, almost slapped away.
“Get lost! Don’t touch me, you brat.”
Fatty jumped away in one swift leap, yelling at White Hair.
“I washed my hands, even sprayed perfume, the scent of gardenias, a subtle elegance. Doesn’t it perfectly match my young master’s temperament?”
White Hair looked incredibly gloomy.
“Get lost, you shameless— thing, utterly eye-stinging.”
Fatty hid directly behind William.
White Hair looked up at the giant Fatty William who was a head taller than him…
He pursed his mouth and finally gave up the idea of pulling Fatty out.
Unfortunately, Gu Yunyou was whisked away by a floating car as soon as he announced their disbandment, leaving White Hair only able to turn his gloomy gaze to Mu Fan.
Next to him, Ling Chuchu had already laughed until she was bent over, these live wires were just too amusing.
Mu Fan was frowning, looking down at the Sky Communication, not noticing White Hair’s gaze.
When he saw again the prompt on the Sky Communication indicating [the signal of the other party cannot be reached], he raised his head.
As soon as White Hair and Mu Fan’s gaze met, he chickened out.
From the brief exchange of glances, White Hair felt like he was operating a level 10 account trying to provoke a level 80 account, he shivered and promptly compensated with a smile.
A real man can stretch and bend.
However, Ling Chuchu, being a girl, although bold and carefree, still noticed the contemplation in Mu Fan’s brows, and couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong?”
Mu Fan seemed to recall something and looked at her, “Nuonuo’s Sky Communication call can’t get through. Has she contacted you recently?”
“No, isn’t Nuonuo at Taoyun Academy as an exchange student? How could she be out of contact… Don’t scare me!” Chuchu’s face immediately turned somewhat pale.
Mu Fan waved his hand, “I can confirm she’s fine, just can’t get in touch.”
He didn’t elaborate, after all, if it’s that secret base, the fewer people who know, the better.
Since that parting, Mu Fan hadn’t had the chance to tell her about the self-destruction of [Taigu], and after leaving the Barnard Star System, Nuonuo seemed to be planning something, her whereabouts suddenly became quite mysterious, and now she was completely unreachable.
Black’s tracking signal abruptly cut off after entering a wormhole jump point.
Mu Fan was able to ascertain Nuonuo’s safety because before she entered, Black’s split entity captured that a ship from Loki Heavy Industry specifically came out to meet her.
Just as they were walking out of the grand Dawn Academy, ready to get into a business floating car, a tall and upright military man suddenly walked over.
“Hello, are you Mu Fan?”
With a standard military salute, the other’s bright eyes looked straight at him.
Mu Fan looked at the captain’s rank, and returned a salute.
“I am.”
Instantly, doubtful gazes from the others came flooding in.
“Someone from the military…”
Fatty muttered softly.
Perhaps having heard Fatty’s mumbling, the captain kindly said: “May I have a word with you?”
He gestured to a nearby black imposing floating car, and White Hair keenly noted the license plate at the rear of the vehicle clearly belonged to the Central Military Department.
The playful, careless demeanor on his face disappeared instantly, his gaze sharpened, looking at Mu Fan inquisitively.
“What’s up? Let’s talk here.”
Mu Fan did not step forward.
Without getting angry, the captain calmly explained: “An important person wants to see you; he has deep ties with you, rest assured, we mean no harm. Besides, this is Capital Star.”
Hearing this, everyone’s questioning eyes had already centered on Mu Fan, after all, it was his decision to make now.
Meanwhile, Black had already stealthily and imperceptibly hacked nearby surveillance systems, seeking out the ownership of this floating car.
“Mu Fan, it’s Central Military Department’s Staff Department vehicle, surveillance shows that fifteen minutes ago, this car was already parked outside.”
“Alright.”
Mu Fan replied succinctly.
The captain finally showed a smile, gesturing with his hand, “Please, this way.”
“You guys go ahead, I’ll contact through Sky Communication in a bit.”
Mu Fan said to White Hair and the others as he was about to leave.
Once his companions nodded, Mu Fan turned and followed the captain into the spacious and comfortable floating car.
[It’s actually bulletproof.]
Upon opening the car door, Mu Fan noticed the unique reinforcing device and the explosion-proof doors 10 centimeters thick, his heart filled with increasing doubt about who exactly was looking for him.
A silent lieutenant driver and a captain aide sitting in the front row, while Mu Fan sat alone in the back, enjoying a treatment seemingly reserved for senior officials.
“Where are we heading?”
“Just at the third corner ahead to the tea house.”
The military floating car converted its surging power into a strong sense of acceleration, Mu Fan’s body remained unmoved, the car quickly shot forward.
Two minutes later, the vehicle stopped steadily, the captain opened the door on Mu Fan’s side.
“We’re here.”
Mu Fan stepped out, looked up at the antique-style tea house in front of him, the brown wooden texture already exhibiting the weather-beaten marks of time.
“Room 7, please follow me.”
The captain was very courteous, leading Mu Fan into the tea house filled with artificial mountains and flowing water, vine flowers trailing, to a brown wooden door, gently knocked.
“Colonel.”
Knock, knock.
“Enter.”
A gentle and elegant voice was audible, crystal clear.
The captain pushed the door open, turned to glance at Mu Fan, signaling him to enter.
Mu Fan was sure he hadn’t heard this voice before.
But why would the person say there were deep ties?
Colonel?
Which Colonel?
Mu Fan’s eyes carried a hint of doubt, but upon seeing the captain’s courteous gesture, he nodded and stepped inside.
As soon as he stepped into the tea room, a fragrant scent wafted into his nostrils, soothing and refreshing.
The tea room was nuanced, requiring two consecutive turns to bypass the screen.
At first glance, he saw the middle-aged officer seated cross-legged on the bamboo mat in the center, slowly brewing tea.
The person’s face was chiseled with features and carried a gentle elegance, eyes deep as the sea, the colonel’s rank clearly displayed on the shoulder.
“How’s Nuonuo lately?”
This gentle officer took a sip of tea, casually asked.
“Huh? You are…”
No matter how composed Mu Fan usually was, at that moment, he couldn’t remain calm.
“I am Wang Lingfeng, currently serving as a Colonel in the Federation’s Staff Department. To put it more succinctly…”
The elegant officer with bright eyes and chiseled face in front of him spoke words that made Mu Fan shiver:
“I am Wang Nuonuo’s father.”
