Shadows of the Deep Space

Su Ming looked at Simo, who was taking the lead, and said calmly.

"I understand, I absolutely understand, you can interrogate as you wish, for however long you need. Anyway, my current mission is to escort important materials to support the Abyss of Descent under the command of Lord Gakels. The front line is so dangerous, staying here safely for a few days is much more comfortable! But if the front line fails due to lack of supplies, that's none of my business."

Simo's face immediately darkened upon hearing Su Ming's words.

If the Abyss of Descent were to fail, not only could he not shoulder the responsibility, but the entire Night Owl couldn't bear it either.

Simo quickly smiled to appease.

"General Su Ming, it's all a misunderstanding; you are free to go."

"Go? I'm not going anywhere, I'll just sit here. Your people are too formidable; even Lord Fidian doesn't have as much authority as you."

Su Ming leaned back in his chair with a half-smile.

Simo and others' hair stood on end when Su Ming mentioned the second-in-command, Fidian.

They never expected that Su Ming even knew Fidian, now they were in big trouble.

Baiten and others looked at Simo in confusion.

Simo took a deep breath and then smiled at Su Ming again.

"General Su Ming, please wait here a moment."

With that, Simo turned and left, with Baiten quickly following him.

Soon, they arrived in the outer corridor, and Baiten immediately spoke to Simo.

"Director, that Su Ming is obviously pressuring us!"

"Shut up, you're really getting me into trouble. Looking to climb the ladder, you didn't even check who you're dealing with, and now see, you've hit a brick wall! Do you know who backs him? They're all top figures of the Federation. What about the pressure? They have the confidence to pressure us."

Simo scolded Baiten directly.

"What do we do now?"

Baiten hadn't expected to cause such a big mess either.

"What can we do, we have to ask for instructions."

Simo lifted his wristband and dialed the second-in-command, Fidian's number.

A few minutes later, the encrypted call connected, and a cold voice came from the wristband.

"What's the matter?"

"Lord Fidian, the people below captured Vice Admiral Su Ming."

Simo replied nervously.

"Who told you to capture him?"

Fidian immediately scolded angrily upon hearing Simo's words.

"That Vice Admiral Su Ming was involved with the defector An Ruoxue, and when our men ran into him, they just..."

"Just what? Don't I know he has ties with An Ruoxue? I even specifically removed him from the list of suspects, and you just brought him back to me! He's currently the appointed lead general for the Abyss of Descent support army by the Council. You captured him, who's leading the support? If something goes wrong there, can you take responsibility?"

Fidian furiously scolded Simo.

The Mechanical Sect and the spies from the two countries had already kept him exceptionally busy.

This group of idiots now gave him another headache.

As for whether Su Ming had any issues, there was actually no need for debate on this matter, Gakels had already investigated him comprehensively a long time ago, and Su Ming had proved himself with his actual actions afterward.

As long as Su Ming was not betraying the Federation, no matter what mistakes he had made, it wasn't a problem.

"My lord, what do we do now? We've released him, but he refuses to leave."

Simo replied in a panicked manner.

"I don't care about this matter, you clean up your own mess, if you don't, be prepared to die!"

Fidian said this and then directly hung up the communication.

Simo stared at the disconnected communication in a daze, completely bewildered.

"My lord, what do we do now?"

Baiten asked in a frightened manner.

It's truly like that saying goes, it's easy to invite the devil in, but hard to send them away.

"What to do, go beg him! Otherwise, you die with me!"

Simo came back to his senses and scolded Baiten harshly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Baiten replied quickly, with none of his previous arrogance.

Soon, the two opened the interrogation room door and re-entered.

Su Ming sat casually on a chair, appearing very calm.

"General Su Ming, this is all our fault, everything is a misunderstanding, let me escort you out."

Simo said humbly.

"No, everything must follow procedure, I can stay here a few more days."

Su Ming replied unmoved, after all, the Fish Ocean needed five days for repairs, he had plenty of time.

"Please, sir!"

Simo said with a mournful face.

"Hmph, crying is useless."

Su Ming replied unmoved.

"Sir, I will kneel for you, please!

Simo was about to kneel to Su Ming.

Baiten, seeing the officer about to kneel, hurriedly followed suit.

At this moment, Su Ming reached out his hand and supported the two with a smile.

"No need, I can't accept this."

"Sir, please be magnanimous, forgive us, anything you ask is fine."

Simo pleaded shamelessly.

Many others watching were left stunned by this scene. It was the first time they had seen Lord Simo so humble, especially since he was known as the cold-faced butcher, causing many officials to wet their pants in fear before him.

Su Ming, seeing it was about time, smiled and said.

"Alright, where is Lin Chuyu?"

"She is an important suspect, in interrogation room 0."

Baiten replied quickly.

"Take me to see her."

Su Ming said decisively.

"Uh...."

Baiten was uncertain on how to answer for a moment.

"Is there a problem?"

Su Ming looked at Simo and Baiten and asked.

"No problem, follow me, I'll take you there."
