Chapter 29

While the outside world was fraught with hidden currents, Lin Jun and Ye Mingyuan lived a warm and peaceful life on the Heart of Mecha.

The only difference was the recent martial law at the airport, which prevented many mecha transactions from continuing.

Lin Jun was initially worried about whether it would harm other people’s lives and work, but later he gradually realized that these mecha masters were all extremely wealthy, and they didn’t care about one or two transactions at all.

An Qiyun, after completing the last order, simply announced to the public that she would take a break for a while and prepare a betrothal gift for her son.

At first, when Lin Jun heard the word “betrothal gift,” he was very resistant in his heart.

But when he learned that the betrothal gift was actually a mecha personally modified by An Qiyun, he shamelessly compromised.

After all… who doesn’t like mecha? Especially a mecha modified by a famous mecha master.

One morning, after breakfast, Ye Mingyuan dragged Lin Jun to An Qiyun’s workshop.

The work of modifying the mecha was halfway done, and the mecha in the warehouse was already in its initial model.

When Lin Jun walked in, the workers were painting the outer layer of the mecha.

“Wow…”

Looking at the faint light emitted from the surface of the mecha, Lin Jun couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“This is the most advanced mecha coating, which can prevent electronic detection and greatly improve the defense of the mecha.”

Ye Mingyuan explained softly: “It’s just that this material is too scarce, so the Empire can’t mass produce it.”

Lin Jun nodded. He looked at the mecha in front of him with shining eyes, wishing he could climb up and drive it immediately.

“It hasn’t been modified yet. You can drive it after you give birth to the child.”

Lin Jun frowned.

It was okay if Ye Mingyuan didn’t mention the child, but when he did, he became very irritable.

His weight loss plan had naturally failed due to the interference of everyone, but fortunately, he didn’t continue to gain weight.

But as the months went by, Lin Jun always felt uncomfortable.

He was now counting the days almost every day, wondering when this cub would roll out of his belly.

At this moment, Lin Jun’s personal terminal suddenly rang. He looked down at the caller ID, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

It was a call from his old man.

Lin Jun and Ye Mingyuan exchanged a look, and the two quickly left the warehouse and returned to the room.

This time, Ye Mingyuan did not choose to avoid leaving.

Lin Jun originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Ye Mingyuan’s firm eyes, he couldn’t help but give in.

Forget it. Ye Mingyuan knew more about the inside story in his previous life than he did.

The moment the communication was connected, the scene on the other side was presented in front of the two.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned when he saw two people appearing in the video.

Ye Mingyuan straightened his face and greeted, “Uncle, hello, I’m Ye Mingyuan, Lin Jun’s partner.”

Lin Yuan’s surprised expression only flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared.

He responded lightly and went straight to the point.

“I’ve figured out something using the information and clues you gave me.”

Lin Jun’s expression froze.

“The Third Star Region, where the Ye family is stationed, is originally close to the Zerg. In recent years, the Zerg have launched some small-scale attacks in order to plunder resources.”

Lin Jun nodded. All of these small-scale attacks ended with the Ye family successfully defending, which also gradually increased the Ye family’s reputation.

But they knew that at this time, the Ye family had actually reached a certain agreement with the Zerg.

They provided the Zerg with some necessary resources, and the Zerg cooperated with them to put on a show, allowing their reputation and military achievements to increase.

“I’ve got some solid evidence, but it’s hard to bring down the Ye family with just these.”

Lin Jun nodded. Although he knew that this might be the answer, he still felt a little disappointed in his heart.

After all, the Ye family’s movements were not too big now, and they did these things very secretly. If they didn’t get absolute evidence, they were likely to escape.

If they failed to directly hammer them to death at that time, it would be bad if they instead stirred up a hornet’s nest.

This matter seemed to have fallen into a predicament all of a sudden.

“The Ye family hasn’t given up on trying to win you over.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes changed, and he suddenly uttered such a sentence.

Ye Mingyuan seemed to have expected this result long ago. He nodded, with no surprise on his face.

“General Lin,” Ye Mingyuan said in a low voice. “I have a way to quickly seize the Ye family’s handle, but only you can do this.”

“…”

Dozens of minutes later, the communication was finally cut off.

For a long time after hanging up the communication, Lin Jun was still a little unable to recover. He turned around and grabbed Ye Mingyuan’s collar, his voice full of disbelief: “Are you crazy?!”

Ye Mingyuan’s sea-blue pupils were calm and unwavering, and he just looked at him quietly.

“This is the fastest and simplest way.”

Lin Jun’s chest rose and fell rapidly, and the words Ye Mingyuan had just said were still echoing in his mind.

“The Ye family has always supported the Second Prince’s faction. His eagerness to enhance the Ye family’s reputation now is just to increase the odds for the Second Prince to ascend to the throne.”

“What he wants is the entire Empire, and he will definitely not have too close cooperation with the Zerg now.”

“But if… he knows that the Second Prince’s succession is an impossible thing, he will go all in for the sake of his grand ambition.”

“At that time, there will be a legitimate reason to crush him in one fell swoop.”

A layer of chill rose on Lin Jun’s back, and he stared at Ye Mingyuan’s eyes: “Do you know that this is provoking a war?!”

“I know,” Ye Mingyuan’s lips parted.

“The Ye family is a time bomb. He can’t give up this ambition. This bomb will explode sooner or later. I’m just bringing the explosion forward.”

“Is it not good to detonate the bomb in advance and reduce casualties?”

A moment of confusion flashed in Lin Jun’s eyes, and he was almost persuaded by Ye Mingyuan.

But he quickly reacted: “This is just your excuse. No matter how you embellish this matter, you are provoking a war.”

He was inducing the Ye family to betray the country in order to eliminate this force in one fell swoop.

But in any case, such a result would only cause countless ordinary people to be displaced and countless soldiers to die on the battlefield.

Looking at the struggle in Lin Jun’s eyes, Ye Mingyuan couldn’t help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Ye Mingyuan’s moral bottom line was very low, and he didn’t have much compassion for the lives of others.

In his heart, there was only so much that could be accommodated.

In his previous life, there were his mother, relatives and friends on the Heart of Mecha, and in this life, there was one more Lin Jun.

He just wanted to protect these people. As for the life and death of others, it didn’t make much difference to him.

But Lin Jun was different. This person was the commander who would protect ordinary people even if he knew he would lose the battle, and he always had compassion for all things in the world.

Ye Mingyuan was silent for a while and gently held Lin Jun’s fingertips.

“Don’t worry, General Lin only said he would consider it and didn’t agree to this suggestion.”

“If we can come up with a better way, we won’t have to provoke a war like this.”

The look in Lin Jun’s eyes was a bit empty.

He stared at Ye Mingyuan fixedly.

In his heart, he already understood.

Ye Mingyuan was right, the Ye family was a time bomb, and this bomb would explode sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for them to accumulate strength, it was better to detonate it as soon as possible.

No…

Lin Jun suddenly froze. He turned his head sharply and stared at Ye Mingyuan.

A sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth: “In the previous life, the Ye family announced their betrayal. Did you participate in the planning?”
