Chapter 560: Secret Collection of Star Remains

As soon as Hou Jieke finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone looked terrified and looked at each other.

Nan Hou walked forward slowly, and a faint green light appeared in his palm, which looked particularly strange under the dim light.

He looked down at Hou Jie Ke who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly:

"Tell me clearly word by word."

Hou Jie Ke was so scared that he trembled all over and stammered:

"Okay...Okay! I understand, I won't hide it!"

He took a deep breath, swallowed his saliva, and finally made up his mind to tell the truth:

"The thing is...The starship factory has always been jointly operated by the five countries, and the funds and materials are also jointly funded by the five countries."

"But a few years ago, the people of the Day Empire began to use some special means to force us to carry out internal sabotage and delay the construction of the starship."

"Of course we refused...but...many things are not what we want to do."

"Not long after, we found that some key members of the shipyard's superiors had been bribed by the Day people. They secretly transported a large amount of materials, seriously delaying our production progress."

"After this happened, it soon angered that "All the countries that funded the construction of the factory are asking us to replenish the stolen materials as soon as possible to resume production."

"But we have been emptied out, not to mention the resources for shipbuilding, even the capital chain has been seriously damaged."

"Therefore, we had to find a way to reduce costs and improve the technology, which greatly delayed the production cycle..."

"As for the stolen materials, they were soon sold at a high price on the black market, snowballing into a large sum of stolen money."

"We later learned that all the money was embezzled by those corrupt parliamentarians in exchange for the protection of the Sun People..."

"In the end, they simply sold all the intelligence to the Sun Empire, and even sold our own design drawings... What happened later is not something that people of our level can know."

After saying this, Hou Jieke was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his expression was stiff.

He looked at Li Yang and Nan Hou tremblingly, and the expression of begging for mercy in his eyes gradually turned into horror.

He originally thought that confessing so many things should be able to save his life.

But... the two people in front of him obviously did not intend to let him go so easily.

Interrogation is interrogation.

Coming to deal with him was the original purpose of the two.

Li Yang and Nan Hou looked at each other, and Nan Hou's eyes burst into anger, and he immediately raised his hand slightly.

The green power of the holy plant turned into a dragon pattern and spread, quickly wrapped around his arm, and then condensed into a dragon spear.

The next moment, it went straight through Hou Jie Ke's chest.

He was too lazy to say anything more, just coldly flicked his fingers to break the dragon spear.

Hou Jie Ke covered the blood hole on his chest in disbelief, staggered twice, and then fell straight down and died.

Then, Nan Hou turned around and looked at the other staff members who were shrouded in dragon patterns.

In an instant, everyone present showed panic on their faces.

Needless to say, these people have basically guessed what will happen next.

Nan Hou said indifferently:

"Next, it's your turn."

"Confess and be treated leniently, resist and be treated severely. If you have anything to add, now is your chance."

The staff present were motionless as if they had been paused. After a long time, one of them finally fell to the ground tremblingly and said:

"Please...please, the two adults, be merciful. We, the little people, really know nothing about what's going on above..."

Silence.

Nan Hou fell silent, looked at Li Yang, and sighed slowly.

Of course he wanted revenge.

He wished he could catch all the people who killed the frontline soldiers and stab them to death one by one with the dragon spear in his hand.

But he also knew that many things were not as simple as they seemed.

As the Dragon Emperor said, the interior of Blue Star was already in chaos at this time.

The high-level party members colluded with each other, like maggots on the tarsal bone, intertwined.

If we were to investigate one by one, I don't know where it would end.

Therefore, according to the Dragon Emperor's instructions, executing those key figures one by one is the best way.

"I will report the problems here to the Dragon Emperor, and someone else will take over this place soon."

"Before that, I want you to resume production and invest in the construction of starships as quickly as possible."

"At the latest in half a month, I want to see the new starship put into use on the front line."

"Otherwise, you will all be liquidated."

"Do you understand!"

Nan Hou shouted these words in a commanding tone.

The staff present had never seen such a scene before, and they were all frightened and at a loss, and they all knelt down to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Nan Hou nodded slowly, and his mentality gradually calmed down.

Li Yang suddenly held his chin, looked at Hou Jie Ke, who had already fallen to the ground and had no life, and then turned to ask the trembling staff:

"Speaking of which..."

"You should know where this guy usually hides the good things, right?"

The staff were shocked and looked at each other.

Seeing that Li Yang was about to get impatient, he quickly started to explain:

"Report! This...this sir."

"We don't know where Mr. Hou usually puts his things, but we know where his office is..."

"If you need it, we can take you there!"

Hearing this, Li Yang nodded, shrugged slightly, and motioned them to lead the way.

Li Yang thought very simply.

The agreement between him and the Dragon Emperor was that these people would be at his disposal, and the Dragon Emperor would not care about the person's belongings or anything else after the end.

Those useless sundries would naturally be left to Li Yang to decide.

Led by a group of staff, Li Yang and Nan Hou quickly passed through the overlapping paths and came to the office building behind the factory.

The decoration in the lobby of the office building formed a sharp contrast with the starship construction factory not far away.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dazzling.

The building is extremely luxurious, and wherever you look, you can see a luxurious scene.

Yang and Nan Hou quickly found Hou Jack's office along the corridor.

Pushing open the door, what came into view was a spacious room with exquisite layout.

The carpets, furniture, and decorations all show the owner's high-end taste.

Li Yang waved to let the staff leave and began to look through the office alone.

Soon he found a secret compartment under the desk, which contained an exquisite wooden box.

When he opened it, he saw several fist-sized black gems in the box, flashing a coveted light.

"Is this... Star Remains!?"

The moment he saw those black gems, Nan Hou's eyes widened and blurted out.
