Chapter 541 Looking at a Fool

"Boss."

The small door in front of Jiang Ci was opened, and Liang Yu, who had previously appeared on star number 1888, appeared behind the door.

After calling out the name of the person, his gaze fell on Shi Sijin, but the next second his gaze shifted away.

He's a stranger, but he was brought by the boss, so he can be trusted.

Having reached a conclusion in his mind, Liang Yu looked at Jiang Ci with smiling eyes, stepped aside to make way for the doorway, and said, "Boss, come in quickly."

"Hmm." Jiang Ci smiled, clearly in a good mood.

Shi Sijin sized up Liang Yu as soon as he appeared, her gaze lingering for a moment on the mercenary group badge on his left chest.

Seeing Jiang Ci walk inside without hesitation, he followed without thinking much.

After the two of them came in, Liang Yu closed the small door and then strode forward to lead the way for them.

On the way, Liang Yu briefly told Jiang Ci what had happened on the way here.

From his words, it was clear that although they had encountered some minor troubles along the way, no one was injured and all the supplies were safely brought back.

As Shi Sijin walked alongside Jiang Ci, she listened to Liang Yu's words while her eyes darted around, memorizing the surrounding environment.

Although he believed that Jiang Ci would not do anything to him, his habit made him subconsciously remember his surroundings.

"Here we are, right here."

After walking for a while, Liang Yu led the two to a door, and then he used the terminal's identity recognition to unlock the door.

A slight sound was heard, and the locked door opened.

"Boss, you go first," Liang Yu said, gesturing to Jiang Ci.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ci took a step and walked towards the door.

After Liang Yu waited for him to move, his gaze fell on Shi Sijin again.

Shi Sijin met his gaze for a moment, then followed Jiang Ci's steps.

After the two of them entered the room, Liang Yu followed them in, and the door slowly closed behind him.

Upon entering the room, Shi Sijin, who habitually glanced around quickly, suddenly looked at the left side of the room with a surprised expression.

There was a metal cage there, and inside was a man whose neck, hands, and feet were bound by metal chains.

This is a cell where people are imprisoned, something Shi Sijin hadn't expected.

When he saw Liang Yu, he assumed the person he was going to see was their mercenary group leader, but now it seemed that wasn't the case...

Who is this person in front of me?

Hearing the noise, the person locked in the cage couldn't help but open their tired eyelids and look over.

He knew Liang Yu, so he skipped over that.

The man shifted his gaze to the other two people, and then his pupils contracted slightly.

He didn't recognize Jiang Ci and Shi Sijin, but he could tell that they were wearing military training and combat uniforms.

Shi Sijin noticed the change in the man's expression, then looked at Jiang Ci and asked, "Is he the one who can answer our questions?"

"Perhaps." Jiang Ci looked at the man in the cage with an unchanged expression and said in a calm voice.

Shi Sijin paused for a moment, then realized that Jiang Ci was filling in the gaps in his words.

In the Second Army Corps headquarters office, Jiang Ci told him exactly what to do: take him to meet someone who might be able to help them solve their problems.

"Okay, maybe it is. So who is he?" Shi Sijin looked at the man locked in the cage again.

"Hahaha..." The man in the cage suddenly burst into laughter.

Shi Sijin frowned as she looked at the man laughing maniacally.

Liang Yu glanced at the man, then at Jiang Ci, whose expression remained calm and composed. After a couple of seconds of contemplation, he decided to remain silent and not stop the man. The three men neither spoke nor stopped their own laughter, simply staring at him. The man in the cage couldn't laugh any longer after a while.

Damn, it feels like they're looking at an idiot, and that idiot is himself.

As the man's laughter faded, the room fell into an awkward silence.

"Why aren't you laughing anymore?" Shi Sijin asked, looking calmly at the man in the cage.

"..." The man being asked the question involuntarily twitched his facial muscles.

After a moment, the man gave a mocking smile. "Do you know you've been set up?"

Jiang Ci saw that the man was speaking to Shi Sijin, and knew that the man was trying to sow discord.

However, he showed no sign of panic, and he didn't even seem to want to interrupt the man.

Liang Yu's face instantly darkened, but seeing Jiang Ci's calm expression, he suppressed the urge to curse and only looked angrily at the person in the cage.

"Oh." Shi Sijin responded indifferently, her tone equally flat.

The man in the cage: "..."

What was that reaction of his?!

"You don't believe me?" After a moment of silence, the man in the cage composed himself and spoke again, "You're from the military, right? Do you know who I am?"

Shi Sijin glanced at Jiang Ci beside her.

I could tell they were from the military; it seems the man was quite familiar with them.

So, who exactly is this man?
"Zhong Jingfeng, the governor of planet number 1888," Jiang Ci said calmly, revealing the man's identity.

When Shi Sijin looked at Jiang Ci, Zhong Jingfeng, the man in the cage, immediately looked at Jiang Ci with a look of anticipation.

However, what he thought Jiang Ci wouldn't dare to say directly was said without hesitation.

There was no preamble or explanation of the cause and effect; the point was made directly.

So much so that Zhong Jingfeng's plan to expose his identity, shock and frighten the man he had his eye on and wanted to turn against him, and ultimately cause him to turn against the people who captured him, was largely ruined.

"Yes, that's right. I'm from the government, and you're from the military. So, we're basically from the same faction."

Zhong Jingfeng still held a sliver of hope that he could persuade Shi Sijin and spoke up.

"I know you're not in cahoots with the people who captured me. Please rescue me. Once I'm out, I can give you a generous reward."

Shi Sijin looked at Zhong Jingfeng with a strange expression on her face.

Even if he didn't mention that he came with Jiang Ci, it would be strange if he just asked for help directly in front of the people who captured him.

So he didn't really want to ask for help, but he definitely wanted to fall out with Jiang Ci and the mercenary group that captured him.

So, does he think I'm a fool?

Shi Sijin frowned unhappily, then glanced at Jiang Ci, who hadn't said much.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Jingfeng immediately assumed that Shi Sijin had been swayed by his words.

He continued, "As long as you save me, you'll be promoted three ranks within three years after I return."

Shi Sijin's expression became even more strange at this moment.

Normally, government officials cannot interfere in military affairs.

So this person is just making empty promises to him?

Or does he really have connections within the military?

However, when it comes to connections, this person's connections are probably not as extensive as his.

"Are you here to interrogate them?" Jiang Ci asked Shi Sijin.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jingfeng's face turned pale instantly.
