The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Meyer’s reaction made HanZheng more and more uneasy. His face tightened. He didn’t speak for a moment, so Admiral Qiao answered for him, “It’s Admiral Qiao. When the research base personnel escaped, Lieutenant Colonel Qiao Ke heard the other side contacting you.”

“Impossible!” Meyer said categorically. He was the person in charge of contact. There were absolutely no outsiders there. “He’s lying.”

He panicked. He couldn’t imagine where the flaw was. Qiao Ke couldn’t have heard the communication, so how did they know the research base was connected to him?

Admiral Aben smiled. “It doesn’t matter. Your bracelet data has been restored, and we will soon review it. If you are wrongly accused, you can sue him for slander. A lawsuit is acceptable.”

Admiral Qiao looked at him, and said to the chairman of the Supervisory Board, “Forty-eight hours of information. Multiply the speed of playback.”

“No!!!” Meyer shouted, as he completely lost his composure as a lieutenant general, “Father, you can’t watch it!”

HanZheng’s face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he ended the communication. Qiao and Aben looked at each other. The members of the Supervisory Board maintained their expressionless faces, but everyone had one thought. No need to look.

Meyer’s reaction had said it all.

Soon, the screen behind the chairman replayed Meyer and the chief’s conversation. Due to rapid playback, the sound was somewhat distorted, as it skipped useless information. The bracelet information played quickly, and the conference room was unusually quiet.

When it reached the picture of the ship explosion, a loud noise broke the silence. HanZheng’s clenched fists had smashed the desktop hard. His eyes were tightly closed, and he had instantly aged a dozen years.

Qiao and Aben looked at each other. They absolutely hadn’t expected Meyer to be that bold. They originally wanted to investigate the research base, but never thought there was another harvest.

The star pirates who hijacked the civilian ship before, turned out to be an arranged attack by Meyer. His rescue of the hostages was a self-staged trick to enhance his reputation. No wonder not a single star pirate was caught, and not a single hostage died. Due to the swift rescue, the netizens didn’t question why the star pirates weren’t captured, but instead praised Meyer for the lack of casualties.

No one in the meeting room said anything. Everyone looked at HanZheng. Qiao and Aben saw his pale appearance, and couldn’t help but think of their own families. They vowed in their hearts to be strict in educating the next generation.

If there was a child like Meyer, one of them would be killed, so as not to make a fool of himself.

HanZheng opened his eyes. The veins on the back of his hands stood out, but his voice was steady, “I propose that Meyer Cox be arrested immediately, stripped of his rank, and handed over to a military court to be dealt with severely.”

When Xie Sen watched the news after his nap, he was surprised. He hadn’t expected Meyer to fall so quickly. The Starrnet was abuzz with the news about Meyer, and the military issued a bulletin that made public all the evidence of his guilt.

Not long ago, Meyer was praised profusely, and now he was being scolded just as profusely.

Xie Sen flipped through the news, and saw a picture under his hand. It was a picture of Meyer as he was being escorted back to the city. He had just gotten off the shuttle, and his face was full of blood. The people next to him were waving to hurry up, and there was a small bird in the air above them. As it was flying fast, there was only a glimpse of it in the picture.
