Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 788: Chapter 234: A Changed Way of Thinking_2

Fortunately, his goal was definitely not to stay within the Empire for a long time; he must build a place outside the Empire where he can feel at ease.

Moreover, Chen Ming had already witnessed Zuo Jing’s wickedness; he certainly couldn’t mention using the same method to retaliate to Bai Quan.

In addition, his experience and knowledge in politics were not even as good as Bai Quan, who had transitioned from a military position, let alone offer any advice.

So now he could only say to Bai Quan, ”I don’t understand things like this, I can’t help you, but if you need to use force, you can call on me; I can ensure not leaving a single trace.”

”If you don’t want to target the topmost person on the other side, you can find his trusted deputies or the like, right?”

”They can overtly target me but actually target you; you can also overtly target their people while actually targeting their top person.”

Bai Quan was silent for a moment, then said, ”Thanks, but better not.”

Before having the power to confront the entire Fourteenth Legion and the entire Empire, using force was absolutely the most unwise action.

The Fourteenth Legion had always used various means and methods to vex him, but no one had ever dared to use violence directly against him or Chen Ming.

The last time the Battle Zone dared to use violence against him, two Vice Admirals became prisoners, and the lives of hundreds were lost, with over a thousand imprisoned.

Chen Ming was partly responsible, but at that time, Chen Ming was not within the rules; it was because the Battle Zone people actively violated the rules that led to this result.

This shows the severity of violating rules.

Bai Quan didn’t want Chen Ming to violate the rules and end up with the same fate as the Battle Zone.

Although he knew very well that Chen Ming had such potential, the Empire was also preparing to implement some restrictions.

But at least for now, Chen Ming couldn’t achieve this.

So Bai Quan could only advise Chen Ming, ”Try not to do things outside the rules. For now, I will try to perform my duties according to the rules.”

”At least the pilot in the spaceship has woken up. Although his consciousness is hazy, and he shows symptoms of amnesia, the most likely clue affecting the people at the top on the other side must be found from him.”

”The basis for the Zuo Jing action you caught was the freighter crashing into the dome. The basis for the spaceship crashing onto the dome was the pilot taking drugs, and if the pilot could get drugs, it must have some connection with the internal Legion.”

”Things are interlinked; let’s see if there’s an opportunity.”

”I plan to find the drug dealer who provided the pilot with DP-2 and trace the stimulant’s manufacturer.”

”The production of such stimulants must be approved by someone, so there might be a chance.”

Bai Quan soon left Chen Ming’s dome with all the frustration and clues by spaceship.

Sitting in the spaceship seat, Bai Quan continued thinking about ways to break this one-sided beating situation.

He felt tormented now because he couldn’t find a way to retaliate.

Knowing that someone was constantly vexing him, but he couldn’t vex them back.

Just because the opponents were at headquarters, even though there were faction conflicts within headquarters, the rules were at least quite strict.

And on this side of the division, not only external problems but internal loopholes often appeared.

He felt he needed time to mend the division of the Fourteenth Legion before considering external retaliation.

Bai Quan gradually regained his focus from his thoughts and immediately issued orders to his subordinates.

His subordinates soon arrested the army drug dealer who sold drugs to the pilot and acquired the address of the pharmaceutical laboratory supplying the drugs.

This pharmaceutical laboratory was located in a Star System at the back of a Star Zone in the nearby Gallo Star Realm.

A colony specializing in medical equipment and pharmaceutical production.

Apart from various production facilities, there were many pharmaceutical laboratories here.

The military’s pharmaceutical laboratory was built here to gain the industrial cluster’s convenience, specifically obtaining an area near the core of the industrial park on the colony for its site.

Looking at the intelligence obtained by his subordinates, Bai Quan suddenly felt something familiar.

He immediately issued himself a search warrant for military facilities and then instructed the spaceship pilot to change course.

A few hours of travel in the Superspace Channel later.

Bai Quan arrived at this medical-specialized colony.

According to the investigated address, he started searching with dozens of army personnel within the science park for his target.

But the more Bai Quan searched within the park, the less pleasant his expression became.

And when Bai Quan reached the laboratory door, his expression was even slightly distorted with anger.

Because this laboratory was a pharmaceutical laboratory he had personally shut down before.

Bai Quan had already remembered upon landing here, some time ago, when he led the Fourteenth Legion to clear out the Original Star Zone Military.

This place was shut down due to smuggling, and he personally signed the arrest warrant for the pharmaceutical laboratory involved in smuggling military drugs and the associated responsible personnel.

The owner behind the laboratory managed to remove themselves, but others weren’t as fortunate.

So why was this laboratory operating again? Why did this laboratory dare to reopen boldly?
