Chapter 165: 097 Full Band Information Blocking Chapter 165: 097 Full Band Information Blocking “Do me a favor, bounty hunter.”
The little princess’s text message was quite brief.
Yang Ming quickly skimmed through other messages, successfully made a date with Miss Windsor for another romantic evening, and then sent a video call invitation to the little princess.
The other party declined your video call invitation.
Another text message popped up:
“Wait a moment, there are people around!”
Yang Ming left the living room to the sleeping Kolev and returned to his bedroom.
He was about to take a shower when the little princess sent a voice call invitation.
Choosing to answer, Emily’s aggressive denunciation immediately came through the watch’s realistic speaker,
“Calling a minor girl unexpectedly at night, don’t you think that’s quite rude?”
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Yang Ming laughed and said, “I subconsciously ignored your age, Your Highness. Your usual maturity and decisiveness, as well as your concerns for the country and people, always make me feel like you’re an older sister in her twenties.”
Emily’s anger instantly dissipated, and she mumbled a bit sheepishly,
“Does this really sound like it’s coming from your mouth? Are you sick, Major Yang Ming?”
“I am always so humble when treating my paying clients. After all, I’m charging to serve you,” Yang Ming brazenly suggested, “If you want to switch to the regular friends mode, I can accompany you too.”
The little princess curiously asked, “Then switch and try.”
“What are you shouting about, you little kid? I’ve got enough things and troubles here!” Yang Ming yelled at the watch, “Do you know how many problems you caused last time by recklessly investigating military corruption? Don’t think that just because you’ve glimpsed adult world secrets, it’s the truth of the world. The truth is that all adults grow up from being children, and because your dad is the emperor, no one wants to argue with you!”
From the other side of the call came the sound of a little girl’s furious stomping.
Yang Ming smirked, “Client mode or friend mode?”
Emily said quietly, “C-Client mode.”
“Oh,” Yang Ming chuckled, “What do you need?”
“My pocket money is not much lately,” Emily said softly, “because there was a rebellion on the Fifth Administrative Star, and many refugees are displaced, so I d all my savings… I can only pay you a salary of at most 150,000 New Federation Coins.”
“Alright, I’ll accept this deal at a loss,” Yang Ming said, “First, tell me what the commission is, and I’ll give you a discounted price.”
Emily was silent for a moment, then continued, “I want to see the real situation on the Fifth Administrative Star, where the war is happening. They won’t let me see it… can you?”
“War footage isn’t something to watch,” Yang Ming frowned slightly, “Your mind hasn’t matured yet, and being stimulated can affect you for life.”
“I am mature! I mean mentally! My psychological age test says I’m twenty-five!” Emily argued.
“Alright,” Yang Ming thought for a moment, “If you insist, I’ll sort through some pictures and videos for you later, for a fair five million New Federation Coins.”
“Hey! Why are you so greedy!”
“You can always back out; we didn’t sign any contract.”
Emily initiated a transfer.
Yang Ming greeted Lyu, and Emily soon received a series of pictures and videos.
This was actually against regulations.
If Emily wanted to browse the internet, a living officer had to accompany her to keep her pure mind from being polluted by online junk.
Emily immediately began browsing, sighing softly.
“Is there anything I can do for them?”
“No,” Yang Ming laughed, “If ten percent of the pocket money you d reaches them, that’s fantastic.”
“Corruption has three stages,” Yang Ming said calmly, “The first stage is individual officials taking bribes and exchanging favors. In the second stage, a few officials form a protection network. In the third stage, the process itself becomes corrupt, with corruption considered normal behavior, and holding office is just for making money. The major administrative stars of the Wind Empire are generally at the third stage.”
Yang Ming waited for two minutes, then proactively asked, “Is there anything else you need me to do for you?”
“My second brother can solve these problems, can’t he?”
“Yes, Edwan is working hard.”
“I have another question,” Emily’s side came with rustling sounds.
Was she hiding in a closet for this call?
Emily hesitated for a long time, but she still spoke, “I’ve felt like there have been some problems between my parents lately. In my memory, they’ve always been loving and respectful to each other.”
Yang Ming was considering whether to continue this topic when Emily was already talking nonstop.
“But lately, father is always arguing with mother, or sometimes it’s not even arguing. They’ll just stare at each other coldly, and neither wants to compromise on little things. Mother fell last time, and father keeps pushing her to take medicine even though she’s still very young… Also, lately, father hasn’t come to mother’s place to stay overnight anymore, and mother seems very anxious…”
Yang Ming said, “Emily, your parents aren’t ordinary people. One is the emperor, and the other is a consort. The emperor has several concubines, and he goes through passionate phases with each one. Do you understand this?”
“Father doesn’t like mother anymore, right?”
“When you grow up a bit more, you might understand the truth,” Yang Ming said gently, “I can’t help you with this matter, so I won’t charge you for it.”
