Chapter 94: Capital planet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The night before, Liao Ning and Zhou Ling spent time organizing the information they had gathered. They devised a plan that relied on Liao Ning’s connection with Liao Jun to bring the Wei family’s past failure with the mental strength potion back into the public eye. By reigniting this issue, Zhou Ling intended to use the Zhou family’s influence to exert pressure on the Wang family, compelling them to disclose the whereabouts of Liao Jun and his wife.
After concluding their discussion, Liao Ning returned to the lounge and embraced the sleeping wolf cub before drifting off to sleep herself.
The following day, Liao Ning was awakened by Liao Nails excited exclamation.
“What’s the matter?” She opened her eyes and gently rubbed the furry head of the wolf cub.
The wolf cub sat on the bed, facing away from her. Upon hearing Liao Ning’s voice, he eagerly pointed out of the window. “There are so many starships and spaceships!”
Liao Ning peered outside and saw a silver-blue planet suspended in the dark expanse of the universe. Similar to the moon she had seen on Earth, numerous starships and spaceships of varying sizes were heading towards it.
“This is the capital planet,” Liao Ning explained to Liao Nai.
“Are we almost there?”
The thought of finally reaching the capital planet and reuniting with his best friend, Mili, filled Liao Nai with excitement. He sprang up from the bed and hastily began dressing himself.
Liao Ning also got out of bed. After freshening up for herself and the wolf cub, she led him out of the lounge and encountered Zhou Ling at the doorway.
“Good morning. Did you sleep well last night? We’ll arrive at the capital planet in two hours,” Zhou Ling greeted Liao Ning with a smile and then turned his attention to Liao Nai. “Once we reach the capital planet, you and Aunt will stay at the Zhou family’s residence with me. I have a niece around your age named Mili. She’s an adorable little girl, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy playing with her.”
Liao Nai widened his eyes in surprise. He had anticipated having to make a significant effort to find Mili’s house. Little did he expect that Uncle Zhou himself was the influential person Mili had spoken about.
Zhou Ling affectionately ruffled Liao Nai’s hair. “What’s the matter? Both of you are good kids. I’m confident that you’ll get along well. However, for some reason, Mili is temporarily staying at one of my subordinate’s residences. Once I finish my work, I’ll go and bring her back.”
Just as he finished speaking, the system, which had been silent for a while, chimed in.
[Ding—Host has successfully obtained the identity information of Villain No. 2. Reward: 100 points and 5 million star coins. Current evil value of Villain No. 2 is 30%. Please note that if the evil value falls to 20%, it will surge. Host, please expedite the mission.]
It appeared that the time for the Ping family to be falsely accused was approaching. Liao Ning had to assist the Ping family in escaping their predestined fate before they were wrongfully implicated. Only then could she prevent Villain No. 2 from fully embracing evil.
Liao Ning contemplated the situation. She needed to accelerate the mission’s progress. After all, something would befall the Ping family a month after the upcoming food competition, leaving her with limited time.
Two hours swiftly passed, and the Silver soon entered the starship field of the capital’s military district.
The Zhou family’s butler had been patiently waiting outside the military district for quite some time. As soon as he spotted Zhou Ling, he hurriedly approached him. “Second Young Master, you’ve finally returned. Your father is already waiting for you at home.”
Zhou Ling was pleased to see Butler Li, who had cared for him since childhood.
However, the joy on his face vanished when he heard that his father was waiting for him at home.
“What is he doing here? Why didn’t he stay with his wife in their private residence? Could it be that he came to the ancestral residence to show concern for me, his abandoned son?”
Butler Li had witnessed Zhou Ling and his brother grow up and had come to regard them as his own children. Although he felt disapproving of Zhou Ling’s father’s infidelity and abandonment of his wife and son, he still respected the family’s hierarchy and refrained from speaking ill of the master’s household. He simply feigned ignorance of Zhou Ling’s words.
“Let’s not dwell on it. We should head back quickly,” Zhou Ling sighed, choosing not to make things difficult for the butler. He introduced Liao Ning and Liao Nai to him. “This is Miss Liao Ning, my savior and girlfriend. And this young friend is Liao Nai, Liao Ning’s nephew. They are both blood relatives of Alliance General Liao Jun.”
When Butler Li heard Zhou Ling’s words, a delighted expression appeared on his face as he appraised Liao Ning.
Miss Liao Ning was truly a sight to behold, radiating beauty that perfectly complemented Young Master Zhou Ling. Moreover, she was the biological sister of the esteemed Alliance General and had played a pivotal role in saving Young Master’s life. It seemed that their meeting was no mere coincidence but a destined arrangement by the heavens..
