Chapter 226: Chapter 150: For the Federation, I Don’t Mind Being the First to Take Up Arms

Coincidentally, this exact scene was witnessed by Shu Chao Yu and Xiao Juzi, who were boarding the Flying Machine.

"Mama?" Zaizai didn’t seem to understand what his mother was doing to that smug jerk.

But Shu Chao Yu was a grown man. How could he possibly not understand!

And so, the moment he understood, he was left utterly... dumb... founded!

’The First Commander of the Federation... was he just being hit on by my niece?’

Shu Yao immediately pulled away. She forced a calm expression, but inwardly, her heart was racing. "Uncle, don’t misunderstand! It’s not what you think at all! I’m a married woman, how could I possibly cheat on my husband and seduce the Commander? I’m not that kind of woman! The Commander... he just had an eyelash fall into his eye. Yes, that’s it! I was helping him get it out!"

Qin Shiwei played along, rubbing his eye.

Shu Chao Yu’s surprised expression vanished, replaced by dawning comprehension. "Oh, that explains it."

’My uncle actually seems to believe me... He’s way too easy to fool!’

Xiao Juzi knew that getting an eyelash in your eye was very uncomfortable.

His head filled with questions as he looked at his uncle in confusion.

’So, did Uncle just misunderstand? Did he think Mama and that smug jerk were doing something else?’

To divert attention, Shu Yao immediately said to Qin Shiwei, "Commander-in-Chief, aren’t you here to retrieve that Mecha? Please, follow me!"

Shu Yao led the way off the Flying Machine, but only Shu Chao Yu followed. She looked back and saw Xiao Juzi’s small hand tugging on the cuff of Qin Shiwei’s pants.

Zaizai had stopped Qin Shiwei in his tracks. He tilted his little head back as far as he could, his big, dark eyes meeting the man’s downward gaze.

"Mister, let me tell you a secret~" He cupped a small hand over his mouth, as if afraid of being overheard. "That annoying guy... you know, your subordinate named Ah Bao? Don’t you dare feel sorry for him, okay? Just make him work overtime forever and ever!"

Qin Shiwei was speechless. "...You hate that annoying guy, so why don’t you hate me?"

Xiao Juzi giggled. "Because you’re handsome~"

’This little kid is just like the woman who gave birth to him—a completely visual creature.’

「Outside the Flying Machine.」

Shu Chao Yu joked with Shu Yao, "It’s no loss for you to flirt with him a little. He’s the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief, after all~"

Shu Yao replied in a stern, righteous tone, "Uncle, so this is the kind of person you are! No wonder you can’t find a girlfriend!"

Shu Chao Yu laughed sheepishly. "But that’s the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief. You’re not the least bit tempted?"

"If you ask me, you’re the one who’s tempted. Well, actions speak louder than words, so why don’t you go for it!"

"If I were a woman, I totally would." Shu Chao Yu was a straight man, but that didn’t stop him from admiring the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief and harboring some unrealistic fantasies. He then added with self-awareness, "Too bad he wouldn’t be interested in me."

Shu Yao snorted. "If he wouldn’t even be interested in you, what makes you think he’d be interested in a married woman like me?"

Her uncle had a bizarre way of thinking. "Well, you never know! Maybe he’s into your type! If the Commander-in-Chief is really interested in you, I would fully support you dumping that ugly-ass Ah Bao! I’d support it with both my hands and feet!"

Shu Yao gave a dry laugh. "I think you just want the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief to be your nephew-in-law."

His thoughts exposed, Shu Chao Yu averted his gaze.

"Dream on!" Shu Yao’s two words shattered his fantasy.

But in reality, her uncle’s dream had already come true! After all, the Federation’s Commander-in-Chief and Ah Bao were one and the same person~

Shu Yao led the investigation team next door to retrieve the Mecha.

Before they arrived, she had been worried that the connection between [First Generation] and Qin Shiwei would be exposed in front of everyone, so she had sent [First Generation] away ahead of time.

Seeing the artificial fountain in the yard, one of the investigators’ eyes lit up. "Hey, this is the same model as the one at the Commander’s residence!"

Shu Yao was speechless. ’So my husband didn’t just move, he moved the entire style of his old home over too?!’

Forced into a corner, she laughed and explained, "My husband and I are both big admirers of the Commander-in-Chief! HAHAHA—"

The Mecha was lifted away by a crane.

Standing beneath the crane, Shu Yao said to the man beside her, "Even if I let you take it back, I don’t think you’ll find anything."

A soft light spread through Qin Shiwei’s eyes. "Why do you say that?"

"[First Generation] already checked. The data in the Mecha was remotely erased. And let me be clear, I wasn’t the one who did it." Shu Yao made a solemn declaration.

He had just noticed a triangular incision on the Mecha’s chest. Thinking about it now, it was probably [First Generation]’s handiwork. Qin Shiwei pondered for a moment. "Did you and [First Generation] discover something else before we arrived?"

"We talked about this on the Flying Machine earlier—the combination of metaphysics and technology." Watching the Mecha being carried away by the crane, Shu Yao’s expression grew grim. "This Mecha might be just such a product."
