“In other words, when you went to fetch Mili home that day, you intentionally left everyone behind, giving the Wang family an opportunity to attack your flying car?” Liao Ning’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Zhou Ling immediately sensed a strong killing intent. “Yes, that’s correct. Although it was a risky move, I only made the decision after ensuring the safety of you and the children!”

Zhou Ling’s obsequious demeanor only fueled Liao Ning’s anger. “Even if you modified the flying car to be safe, did you ever consider the ‘what if’ scenario? What if you and the kids had gotten injured? How would I answer to your families?!”

Liao Ning’s voice trembled as her eyes turned red. Knowing that Zhou Ling had orchestrated the attack that day filled her with fear.

Seeing Liao Ning in this state, Zhou Ling panicked. He stood up helplessly, wanting to comfort her, but he was at a loss for words. In the end, he made up his mind to be unbothered by Liao Nings acceptance.

Gao Dian had already dragged Lan Yin away, not wanting to witness the commotion any longer. This was no ordinary situation to spectate. He was worried that their actions would provoke retribution from their Boss the next day.

Liao Ning’s emotions subsided quickly. She soon found solace in Zhou Ling’s arms and issued a reminder, “If you disregard your safety again, I’ll truly ignore you.”

Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Liao Ning was being reasonable. “It won’t happen again. I promise!”

“I’ll hold you to your word. You’ve had a long day. Rest early.”

[Ding—Host- triggered difficulty mission: Mental Strength Potion—the foundation of the alliance. The mission progress has been updated, increasing by 20%. The current mission progress stands at 55%. Host, please continue working diligently. Generous rewards await upon mission completion.]

Liao Ning retreated to her room after leaving Zhou Ling’s study. The system, which had remained silent for a while, finally spoke again, notifying her of an update regarding their mission to take down the Wei family.

“I didn’t do anything, so why did the mission progress suddenly jump to 55%?” Liao Ning pondered, thinking of Zhou Ling, who had been absent for long hours lately. She sighed with relief and murmured to herself, “Having an exceptional teammate is truly a blessing. He takes care of the child and cooks delicious meals every day. This mission is on the verge of completion. I find myself liking my extraordinary teammate more and more!”

The Alliance Prison situated on the remote Planet B16 suffered an unexpected assault, resulting in nearly two-thirds of the prison’s population being injured or killed, with the inmates constituting 80% of the casualties.

The following morning, as Liao Ning rose to prepare breakfast, she heard the Al in the living room announcing the news of the attack on the B16 Alliance prison.

“Two-thirds of the prison’s population affected,” Liao Ning said, glancing at Zhou Ling, who was sipping tea. “It’s truly vile. Do you know who was responsible?”

True to his role as the Zhou family’s backbone, Zhou Ling was well-informed. “Based on the evidence found at the scene, it appears to be a group of interstellar space pirates seeking revenge on the alliance army and attempting to free their imprisoned comrades.”

“Have they managed to free anyone?”

Zhou Ling shook his head. “No. The Alliance employs special restraints for such vicious interstellar space pirates. Once a prisoner strays beyond a 30-meter radius from the prison while serving their sentence, the restraints self-destruct. The prisoner is injected with a neurotoxin and dies within three seconds.”

“Thank goodness they didn’t succeed. However, it’s unfortunate for the other prisoners in there.”

After a long pause, Zhou Ling glanced at her and uttered, “Zhu Fei also perished in the attack.”

“Zhu Fei?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

Liao Ning’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “But isn’t the Alliance Prison on Planet B16 specifically designed to house dangerous criminals like interstellar space pirates? Why would Zhu Fei be locked up there?”

Liao Ning recalled that Zhu Fei’s most severe offenses were related to child abuse and engaging in malicious competition. While her actions were despicable, they didn’t seem to warrant association with interstellar space pirates who committed a wide range of crimes.

“The prison where Zhu Fei was originally held is currently undergoing maintenance, so the Alliance decided to disperse the inmates to different facilities,” Zhou Ling explained.

Liao Ning complained, “Well, that explains it. Zhu Fei really has terrible luck.” She paused for a moment before adding, “However, considering how she mistreated Wei Xin in the past, one could argue that it’s a form of poetic justice..”
