Empress's dark green dress was a bit narrow. Although it looked very stylish, it was completely useless. When it was time to take action, the clothes would feel like they were being tied down.
For example, Empress, who was surrounded by three or four men in black, would be pushed forward by the people behind her if she slowed down a little. If the others didn't push her, with her usual speed, her temple would hit the muzzle.
After the woman's terrifying scream, the hall was completely silent. Everyone stood still. From Duan Hengye's perspective, he even felt that the scene in front of him was a frozen and ironic photo, not a scene that would appear in real life.
In the luxuriously decorated banquet hall, men and women were wearing dark, strangely tailored clothes. Panic, worry … All kinds of emotions that were difficult to detect on the faces of these nobles now emerged one by one.
Out of instinct, the moment the panic began, everyone gave up the most central position in the hall. Now Empress was held at gunpoint by the people behind her and walked to the open space. Her steps were a little hurried, and her extremely thin heels hit the stone floor again and again, constantly making ear-piercing footsteps.
In addition to the retro decoration of this hall, there was another big feature, and that was exaggeration.
In the center of the room, there was a three-story golden chandelier hanging. Under the chandelier, the stone used for the floor was also very special. Just now, the hall was really lively. There were people standing everywhere, so Duan Hengye didn't see what was under the chandelier.
But until now, after the open space was given up, Duan Hengye could see clearly. At this time, although the stone on the floor had been polished flat, there was a kind of broken jade-like texture.
Although Duan Hengye didn't know about mineral resources, he knew that this floor was definitely worth a lot.
Of course, the situation was urgent, so Duan Hengye only paid attention to the floor for a short while. He only took a glance and then moved his eyes away from there. Then, he looked at the broken windows in the hall.
Fortunately, when Duan Hengye came, he observed the nearby scene along the way. Therefore, even though he had followed people in a big circle in the corridor, Duan Hangye immediately judged what was outside every window after looking at the scenery not far away from the window.
It hadn't been long since the men in black broke in, so Duan Hengye didn't know who today's incident was and what they wanted to achieve. But the two accidents already told Duan Hengye that his identity was very special. No matter what, he couldn't let his guard down.
Therefore, although the black-clothed man on the field did not pay attention to Duan Hangye, nor did he show any signs of wanting to find anyone in the crowd, Duan Hangye still slowly lowered his head, then slowly walked sideways into the shadows.
Fortunately, this hall was quite old, and the structure used was not columnless. Duan Hengye only needed a little time to hide behind a dark red pillar. It was at this moment that a few loud noises came from the center of the hall.
The voice was so sudden that Duan Hengye couldn't help but look in that direction.
Then, Duan Hengye saw the men in black, who had already spread out in all corners of the hall, picking up their laser guns and aiming at the robots in the corners of the hall.
In the blink of an eye, all the robots were destroyed, and some of them even exploded.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH At the same time, Empress instinctively rushed forward. Because the heels of her shoes were too high, and her clothes were not suitable for movement, after screaming, Empress directly fell to the ground.
As the daughter of the Count and the Empire's Empress, she had never been in such a sorry state in her life. Although she was at the top of the pyramid of power for so many years, she had never seen a real war. So in just a few minutes, her spirit completely collapsed. Even though Duan Hengye didn't think the current situation was a big deal.
In fact, it wasn't just Empress. After a few minutes, many people in the hall had their minds broken. Duan Hengye saw Wen Mujia standing not far away with a pale face, and beside him, there was already a woman who was about to faint.
He knew in his heart that he couldn't anger these people, but there was no way to control his physiological reaction. One after another, cries and pleas came from all over the hall. After hearing those cries, the men in black began to impatiently threaten.
Finally, he took advantage of this opportunity. Duan Hengye rushed out of the broken window not far away as fast as he could. Then he directly jumped out of the two-story building without hesitation. Even the men in black standing by the window didn't have time to react.
Duan Hengye heard a burst of exclamations from the hall the moment he jumped out of the window.
Although the physical fitness of people in the interstellar era was much better than before, and because people flew around in the sky every day, people's fear of heights had almost disappeared. But in any case, this group of people who were used to living with the help of machines definitely didn't have the courage to jump out of the building without any help.
Duan Hengye's memory was correct. There was a garden downstairs. He landed steadily on the grass and used the soft soil to offset most of the force. Duan Hengye saw that there were several hovercrafts hanging above his head. Those men in black should have come from there.
After a glance, Duan Hengye immediately continued to run to the other side of the garden. If he remembered correctly, that place was also a hovercraft parking area. Although he hadn't been here for a long time, he still had the authority to activate the hovercraft. There were too many trees on both sides of the garden, making it difficult for the hovercraft to land. As long as he could make use of this time to run to the hovercraft, he would be able to return to the starship.
Duan Hengye ran to his destination while gently touching his collarbone. As if he had a premonition, Duan Hengye found someone to change the tracking device on his body some time ago. This new tracking device was smaller and directly embedded in Duan Hengye's neck. Not only could it not be seen, but it also couldn't be touched.
Although it was smaller, the tracking device's functions didn't decrease because of this. Duan Hengye's current settings allowed him to directly contact Nan zhuxing and Meng Jinhuai, but he didn't do so right now.
Before jumping down from the window, Duan Hengye had already planned his "escape" route in his mind. Therefore, Duan Hengye didn't hesitate or stop at all. He quickly ran through the forest.
Duan Hengye saw that the hovercrafts above his head were already chasing after him. However, because the hovercrafts' danger warning system hadn't been cracked, no matter how many attempts they made, they still couldn't land in the forest.
After a while, Duan Hengye saw the hovercraft parking area in his memory. Because of the recent conscious training, Duan Hengye was already panting, but his speed didn't slow down. Especially when he saw the parking lot, he sped up again.
Now's the time!
Duan Hengye rushed to the location of the hovercrafts, but an accident happened.
Just when Duan Hengye was about to reach his destination, someone suddenly walked out of the hovercrafts in front of him.
"F * ck …" Seeing this scene, Duan Hengye finally couldn't help but curse. His worst-case scenario had still happened. This group of black-clothed men who had appeared out of nowhere and for some unknown reason had already taken over the Empress' family's subordinate planets.
Today's incident wasn't a power struggle in the family, it was more serious than that.
One had to know that the Empress's family was one of the top three noble families in the entire Ye Tian Empire. No matter what happened in the empire in recent years, whether the nobles had begun to decline or not, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Their security was absolutely unquestionable.
To be able to control an entire subordinate planet in a short period of time, the strength of the people who came was undeniably strong.
Seeing the men in black walk out of the hovercrafts, Duan Hengye stopped in place, then began to adjust his breathing, which was rapid from running. He looked a little too calm, like what just ended wasn't an "escape", but a simple fitness exercise.
Just when Duan Hengye adjusted his breathing, the hovercrafts in the air also landed. More than 20 people surrounded Duan Hengye one after another, more than the people around Empress just now.
Duan Hengye didn't speak, and the group of people surrounding him also remained silent. The two sides confronted each other silently. After a while, someone seemed to have received an order from a miniature earpiece, then finally stepped forward and pressed a gun against Duan Hengye's temple, using the force to push him onto the hovercraft.
After the hovercraft lifted off, Duan Hengye saw the military starship not far away. However, from his point of view, the starship was still the same as when he left, and he couldn't tell what was going on inside just from the outside.
However, Duan Hengye knew that he was now moving strangely. Even if the anomaly of this Subordinate Planet was still unknown to anyone, the Southern Star should be able to deduce something based on the data of his movement alone.
The actual situation was indeed like this. The moment Duan Hengye "jumped", not only Ye Pu's starship, but Nan zhuxing also received an alert.
When Ye Pu saw the optical supercomputer display that Duan Hengye jumped from a two-story building, he was scared out of his wits. However, because he still didn't know what was going on, after seeing the notification, Ye Pu didn't choose to directly use his authority to take people to the subordinate planet like Meng Jinhuai told him before. He also didn't rashly send a message to Duan Hengye.
But at this moment, Ye Pu suddenly received a call from Meng Jinhuai.
On the other end of the voice call, Ye Pu heard Meng Jinhuai quickly say to him, "Continue monitoring. Don't act rashly for now."
"Yes!" Ye Pu immediately agreed. Then, he vaguely heard the mecha activation notification on the other end of the call.
After a pause, Meng Jinhuai continued, "The security level of Empress' family's subordinate planet is almost the same as Nan zhuxing's. If something really happens, you guys won't be able to do anything."
Ye Pu could hear the mecha's data continuously coming from the other end. It looked like Meng Jinhuai was really piloting his mecha and rushing towards Duan Hengye's planet.
"Okay." Ye Pu hurriedly agreed. Then, Meng Jinhuai finally said, "Report to me immediately if anything happens. Pay attention to Duan Hengye's position and status at all times. If he contacts you guys, listen to his commands. "
Ye Pu had never seen Meng Jinhuai so nervous before. After the call ended, he immediately stared intently at the optical supercomputer's screen, afraid that he would miss even the slightest change in the data.
And so, Ye Pu, who had been staring intently at the optical supercomputer, discovered that Duan Hengye had now returned to the densely populated area. However, he was not at the banquet hall from before. After a brief pause, the hover vehicle took off again and flew towards the other side of the planet.
The moment Duan Hengye was escorted into the starship, he raised his eyes and saw a bunch of familiar faces.
On the way to the hover vehicle docking area, Duan Hengye had wondered what the black-clothed men were planning to do by causing such a huge ruckus today. Or perhaps they were trying to find someone in the crowd. But now that he saw the familiar faces in the cabin, Duan Hengye immediately understood — — they weren't trying to find anyone, they were trying to take everyone away.
Even though he wasn't very familiar with the starship, Duan Hengye was able to determine the model of the starship from a few details in the cabin.
This starship was probably quite old, but it was considered a very common model. It was originally considered a civilian starship, but many countries would modify it to be a military model.
Duan Hengye was forced to sit down on a sofa at gunpoint. But in this short period of time, he had already thoroughly observed the entire cabin of the starship. Even though it was decorated like a civilian starship, the moment he sat down, Duan Hengye came to a conclusion — — the starship he was on had indeed been modified.
But after looking around, Duan Hengye didn't find any details in the cabin that could prove where it came from. Could it be … … that this starship actually belonged to a galactic pirate organization?
This seemed to make sense. Empress's family planet was located in the border area of the Empire. According to the Ye Tian's special regulations, their security was all their own responsibility and not guaranteed by the military. Duan Hengye didn't know the military strength of their family planet, but based on the current level of chaos outside the Galaxy, it didn't seem too difficult to be visited by a large galactic pirate organization.
There were many cabins inside the starship. After entering, it could be seen that Duan Hengye was now in the "big shots" of the Empire. In addition to himself, there was also Empress, whose makeup was already ruined from crying, and Wen Mujia, who had her head lowered. And … … Duan Hengye, who appeared out of nowhere.
After seeing the other party, Duan Hengye wasn't too surprised. Although he didn't see the other party at the banquet, it didn't mean that Duan Hengxing didn't come today. Just like him, Duan Hengxing was also "adopted by Empress' family". Even compared to Duan Hengye, who was sent to be a spy early on, Duan Hengxing really grew up on this planet.
It wasn't strange for him to be here. It could even be said that it would be strange if Duan Hengxing didn't appear on his family planet.
Just as Duan Hengye was calmly brought in with a gun pointed at him, other than Wen Mujia, who had her head lowered, the other two people in the cabin were looking at him. Empress obviously hadn't recovered yet. She sat on the sofa across from Duan Hengye, gasping for breath. And beside Duan Hengye … … Duan Hengxing was also looking at the person with a complicated expression.
Duan Hengye ignored Duan Hengxing. After sitting on the sofa, he gently pushed away the gun that was pointed at his head. Then he slowly raised his head and said to the person standing beside him, "Be careful."
When he said this, Duan Hengye wasn't sure if there was such a thing as "accidental discharge" in the Galaxy. But after seeing the other party hesitate for a moment and finally put away the gun, he calmly sat there — — as if he wasn't pointed at by a gun, but a guest invited by the host.
If it was said that Duan Hangye's calm appearance when he entered the door was enough to surprise people, then his current performance made the rest of the hostages widen their eyes and look in his direction. Even Wen Mujia, who had her head lowered, slowly sat up straight. Then, Duan Hengye finally saw her lips trembling with fear.
The people in the cabin stopped talking. Through the narrow window, they could see that the starship had slowly flown out of the atmosphere of Empress's planet. At the same time, the seat belt on the sofa popped out by itself. But in this obviously modified starship, the seat belt was obviously not to prevent passengers from getting hurt during the turbulence. But … … to trap them.
The material of the seat belt was very special, and the fastening method was something Duan Hengye had never seen before. After a while, he felt that he couldn't move. His whole body sank into the soft sofa.
After confirming that the seat belt was fastened, the men in black who brought Duan Hengye and the others here finally left and stood behind them. This sofa was made of leather, so it was very easy for people to sink into it. The strange thing was that after being restrained by those things, other than Duan Hengye, several people couldn't help but sit up straight to get more space to move, but he somewhat strangely let himself relax, then sank into the sofa.
Seeing this scene, Duan Hengxing, who was sitting closest to Duan Hengye, couldn't help but open his mouth, but before he could make any sound, he was frightened by his brother's sharp glare.
Duan Hengye knew that Duan Hengxing didn't deliberately make a sound just now, he just couldn't help it. But fortunately, the other party has some ability to observe people's expressions over the years. After seeing his gaze, Duan Hengxing immediately sat up straight, not daring to look here.
At this time, the starship had already flown far away from Empress's planet. No one in the cabin spoke for a long time, and even the sound of breathing couldn't help but become shallow.
Of course, Duan Hengye's current sitting posture was not without reason. The sofa he was sitting on now was very big, so when he leaned back, it formed a small visual blind spot. Other than Duan Hengye himself, no one else cared about this — after all, the space was really too small. But even if it was only this small amount of space, it was enough for him to use...
After a while, Duan Hengye slowly lowered his chin, then gently lowered his head and tapped twice between his collarbones. His movements were very fast and very small. If others saw this, they would only think that Duan Hengye was doing this subconsciously.
However, right after those two signals, another starship that had taken off from the other side of the Subordinate Planet immediately received the message.
"Crash!" Suddenly, this kind of sound rang out in the originally quiet office. Ye Pu, who had been in his elite state all this time, shouted very abnormally. Then he stood up straight and said to the staff around him who had been waiting for his order, "Crash into the suspicious starship ahead."
"Crash …" Obviously, Ye Pu's words had scared a lot of people. Even the military staff on Nan zhuxing who were used to obeying orders hesitated for a moment before asking, "But Professor Duan is still there."
Ye Pu turned around and said slowly to the person with a serious expression, "This is an order from Professor Duan himself. Listen to him." As the one who gave the order directly, Ye Pu knew where the danger lay. He also knew what he would have to face if something went wrong.
Of course, Ye Pu wasn't the only one. Everyone in the room knew how dangerous this crash was. As Ye Pu spoke, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. If the person who gave the order today wasn't Duan Hengye, Ye Pu would probably be hesitant as well, even wondering if the other party had accidentally triggered the signal just now. But this person was Duan Hengye, so he definitely wouldn't make such a low-level mistake just because he was nervous.
After working with him for so long, Ye Pu was used to trusting the other party completely.
Even though Ye Pu still didn't know what Duan Hengye was going to do, he still chose to trust him.
"… Okay, Mr. Ye." After seeing Ye Pu's attitude, the staff member didn't hesitate anymore. He turned around and sent a signal to the starship's control room to prepare for the crash.
