Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Everyone Has a Bug in Their Heart _1

Lu Xiang tasted like mint.

This was the conclusion Song Lan had recently drawn.

Although maintaining fresh breath was a good habit, based on his understanding of Lu Xiang, she had most likely come prepared.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel at how bold Lu Xiang had become. This was her office, and as the head of the Law Enforcers’ department, people could come in at any moment to report work progress. If this scene was seen by others, it could lead to unimaginable consequences.

This place was the department of the Law Enforcers, where the male to female ratio was as high as 8:1.

According to Song Lan, the department was populated by mostly single men who had never experienced love. This was a bit too stimulating for them.

Lu Xiang seemed oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. She calmly took a handkerchief from her drawer and wiped her lips, looking very satisfied.

Seeing that Song Lan seemed to be in a daze, her mood improved significantly.

Having speaking eloquently in front of her and then leaving, when did the world ever offer such advantages?

"Let’s continue discussing work."

She said, as if nothing had happened, "Regarding the issue of a bug coming out of the neck of the Twelfth Nation’s Minister of Finance, what are your thoughts?"

This was very likely a tip from the Rebel Army, and it was closely related to the word "Patriot" written on the note before.

Previously, the Rebel Army had tried to live broadcast, but they were unable to break through the United Government’s cyber blockade and transmit their message within the borders.

Technically, this was not something any hacker could achieve. They carefully spread the news, their ultimate goal certainly was not to provoke a blocking action, but merely to deepen the citizens of Seventeen’s suspicions and dissatisfaction with the United Government.

Because this was just too dangerous.

To intrude and rewrite the programming of Tesla Tech’s bionic humans, breaking through the United Government’s cyber blockade to let the "external" live broadcast into the Seventeenth, those capable of this would undoubtedly be Esinvig’s chief hackers, and to achieve this means the hackers were hidden somewhere in the Seventeenth.

Taking the risk of being exposed and unable to leave the Seventeenth just to let the public see a nonsensical live stream?

Not to mention that the public wouldn’t be able to understand the whole situation from the short live stream, even if they knew the truth, what could they do?

The lower class citizens alone were not enough to rebel against the United Government. In fact, other than venting their anger online, people didn’t dare to make any substantial rebellion.

"It’s for us to see, and it’s likely related to the ’Patriot’."

On this matter, Song Lan and she drew the same conclusion.

Even if they couldn’t watch the live stream in real time, they would definitely know about the incident after the United Government initiated an emergency blocking action, and eventually obtain the recorded clips from the "undercover Rebel Army".

"Patriot" was likely a plan proposed by the United Government, completed by Tesla Tech, aimed at planting an organism resembling a mechanical scorpion inside people.

But the content of the live stream was too short for them to know more details.

What use does this mechanical scorpion have, and how did it enter the human body?

"The answer to this mystery is probably hidden in Princess Lieyang."

After all, these series of events started with Princess Lieyang, whether it was the rebellion of Tesla Tech’s bionic humans or today’s blocking operation. All were subsequent events triggered after Princess Lieyang came to the Seventeenth, and the Rebel Army’s purpose was clear from the beginning.

Song Lan said, "It’s possible that she has this kind of bug in her as well."

This was not just about their future cooperation with Tesla Tech, looking deeper, why was the United Government afraid of this event spreading in its cities?

Was it just to avoid the criticism of keyboard warriors?

In Song Lan’s view, what the United Government feared more was having this event plant a seed of doubt in people, making citizens living under the United Government begin to suspect they had been implanted with something like a mechanical scorpion.

And the reason for the fear was because they intended to carry out or were already implementing this plan.

"Where is she now?"

"She’s sleeping in the meeting room."

The capital of the Twelfth Nation had been captured by the Rebel Army, and the Rebel Army had live-streamed the extraction of the bug from the Finance Minister’s neck. The main reason why Lieyang of Twelfth Nation’s Guard didn’t cause any trouble was because she overslept.

She still had no idea what had happened in the "outside world".

When Lu Xiang came to the meeting room, Lieyang was still asleep.

Lu Xiang patted her on the shoulder and woke her up.

While Lieyang was still groggy from just waking up, she simply told her what had happened today. Song Lan stood by, ready, in case Princess Lieyang lost control of her emotions, he would immediately knock her out to prevent her from burning down their office out of anger.

However, to the surprise of both of them, Lieyang’s mood was very stable, even after hearing that the Twelfth Nation’s capital had been taken by the Rebel Army, she just nodded calmly.

"There’s no time to deal with the chasing soldiers, we must go to the First Region quickly."

This was her conclusion after hearing the entire series of events that had transpired today, she then asked, "I need to return to Tesla Tech."

"You won’t be able to return for the time being, they were attacked by bionic humans last night. All the technicians are now working overtime to inspect the security systems and programs within the building, earliest is by tonight."

"Alright, then I’ll wait for them to come get me."

Lieyang sat on the sofa, hugging her knees. She looked docile and obedient. There was no trace of the rashness that she had displayed in threatening to incite a riot the day before.

Of course, this also didn’t rule out the possibility that she had reflected upon her mistakes deeply and decided to be a peaceful princess for the time being.

"Can I ask, why do you need to go to the First Region?"

Song Lan asked.

"To call for reinforcements."

Lieyang answered with conviction.

She still needs to call for reinforcements?

She should know that when the Twelfth Nation was surrounded, there might still be some hope in calling for reinforcements. But now that the capital has fallen, and her father’s whereabouts are unknown, even if she went to the First Region, the United Government probably wouldn’t send troops to help her reclaim her lost territory. Besides, this incident felt strange to Song Lan from the beginning.

Who was Lieyang?

She was not a helpless princess, but the commander of the guard. From the way the Rebel Army treated her, it was clear that no leader, except for Esinvig himself, was confident of defeating her.

For the Twelfth Nation, in such a crisis, sending their probably strongest national combatant, Lieyang, to call for reinforcements from the United Government?

The main reason why the capital of the Twelfth Nation was quickly captured was probably because the soldiers suddenly found out that their general was missing when the great battle was imminent.

Since ancient times, calling for reinforcement was the duty of envoys. Who would let a general do such a thing?

"You should rest first. When Tesla Tech sends someone, we will inform you immediately."

Having thought this, Song Lan threw a glance at Lu Xiang and said aloud.
