After seeing the appearance of this spaceship with his own eyes, Chen Ming, although he had not yet actually seen its combat capabilities, had a slight sense of assurance in his heart.

Typically, the type of Destroyer itself determines that the spaceship's design aims for a length between one hundred and three hundred meters.

However, the four-hundred-meter "Cow Herder" is evidently abnormal in design.

But the reason is quite simple: it was designed quite early.

It existed in the early days of the human space era.

After generations of updates, the "Cow Herder" still hasn't been phased out, so this ship, larger than the usual Destroyers, has been preserved until now.

In fact, Chen Ming thought there was a rationale behind the company's decision to send this "Cow Herder" over.

Firstly, he was sure that Sinda Corporation definitely had its own Cruisers or even Main Ships.

But ships above the Cruiser level hold different significance compared to ordinary destroyers and frigates, requiring numerous approvals to dispatch.

Not just the company, but the government also needs to be informed about the company's deployment of ships.

So Cruisers can't be easily deployed.

But the "Cow Herder" is different, as it is a Destroyer and happens to be the largest type among Destroyers.

Although it doesn't compare to a Cruiser, its practical escort and combat capabilities reach the peak of Destroyers.

Thus, when the company needed to quickly send Chen Ming to the Star Realm Capital, they chose "Cow Herder" as the flagship.

And if Chen Ming remembers correctly, deploying ten or more Destroyers or twenty or more Frigates as a fleet requires a report to the government.

So, this fleet of nine Destroyers and nineteen Frigates represents the maximum number of ships Sinda Corporation can deploy in a short time.

From this, Chen Ming could again see Sinda Corporation's emphasis on him.

However, because the "Cow Herder" couldn't fit into the dock designed for regular Destroyers, it had to be stationed in one of the only two Cruiser slots on the dock.

The Shuttle Boat Chen Ming was on was going to land there.

To make reorganizing the fleet easier after landing and taking off, the rest of the fleet was also parked nearby.

All nineteen Frigates were parked in the slots meant for Destroyers.

Seventeen of these nineteen Frigates are all standardized Sentinel Level Frigates.

Although Chen Ming was not fond of the Sentinel he had, it was because the civilian Sentinel was overly neutered.

But the military Sentinel still held its place in combat.

The other two Frigates consist of a professional cargo ship called the Water Buffalo Level and a Drum Level fuel transport ship, which Chen Ming had seen before.

The Water Buffalo is used to transport materials that are difficult to store on combat ships, while the Drum Level transports logistical supplies and fuel for the fleet.

Even though this pickup mission would only last a few hours, the mission's standard configuration was still necessary.

With this fleet of twenty-eight ships, it was absolutely a formidable force in the Edge Star Realm.

Escorting Chen Ming back to the Star Realm Capital was definitely not a problem.

However, despite seeing such a fleet and having such protection, Chen Ming still felt that the danger had not ended.

Moreover, the source of the danger seemed to be lurking from all directions, and he couldn't figure out what was still threatening him.

Thus, during the final moments before the spaceship landed,

Chen Ming proactively asked the director beside him, "How many people are there at our maintenance plant now?"

"You, me, Old Wu, Bald, Tian Jiwen, three newcomers, and we can add the deputy director."

The director immediately replied, and also guessed Chen Ming's intention, saying, "You want to know who the mole is, right?"

"Yes, I can initially rule out Bald, as he mentioned the military's investigation on me before, he won't be the mole."

"Then the others..."

"No need to guess."

The Chief, who had been issuing orders to outsiders through the communication device in his helmet, suddenly interrupted Chen Ming and the director's conversation.

"My people have already found the body of your Tian Jiwen in a hotel; the military kidnapped and killed him, and the kidnapping happened just the day before."

"However, his body didn't show any signs of abuse, meaning he was very cooperative with the military, and he was the one who leaked your identity."

"As for the person who opened the workshop door, it was one of the three newcomers arranged by the company into the maintenance plant, and his body was confirmed in the high-level corridors."

"Additionally,"

the Chief looked towards the director and said: "Although the deputy director is a bit of a bastard, he wouldn't be a traitor."

The director frowned slightly upon hearing the mention of the deputy director by the Chief, but said nothing.

And after briefly summarizing, Chen Ming said: "So, it was Tian Jiwen who leaked my information, and the military, relying on the relationships they've embedded in the Space Station, planned to kill me, right?"

"Correct."

"Understood."

Chen Ming knowingly nodded.

As everyone involved was already dead, it indicated that the danger he still felt was not from within, but from elsewhere.

It seemed the military had not completely given up on making a move on him and was surely waiting for him somewhere.

However, Chen Ming had done all he could, and what remained was to see if the company's preparations and his precautions were sufficient.
