"Boss, you know, Mimili has always been active on the outskirts of the Luofeng Empire. Under Molly’s guidance, she does some dirty work for us.
"For example, Kolev’s main competitor in the chemical industry nearly went bankrupt after Mimili visited their cargo ships several times..."
"Get to the point," Yang Ming said, "about the request for help."
Lyu curtly responded, "Mimili wants to date."
"Huh?" Yang Ming chuckled, "Then let her date. Mimili’s not a kid anymore; she’s a remarkable pirate leader now."
"Yes, she has quite a talent for piracy, though it’s not exactly legal."
Lyu winked at Yang Ming and whispered,
"So, if Mimili calls you later to mention this, you’ll help her, right?"
Yang Ming’s eyebrow rose, "What’s this got to do with me?"
"Mimili’s first choice seems to be you."
"I’m not ready to accept her... in that way," Yang Ming immediately shook his head.
Driver 026 perked up and listened intently.
Suddenly, Yang Ming had a thought and stared intently at Lyu.
Lyu remained calm, meeting Yang Ming’s gaze.
"Did you arrange this?" Yang Ming frowned and asked.
Lyu: "Of course not; how could I possibly disclose your romantic status? That’s your privacy. But, Miss Mimili is both beautiful and charming, with impressive combat skills. Plus, you share a deep bond; she’s Kolev’s daughter."
"Deactivate the lie system," Yang Ming asked, "did you arrange this?"
Lyu: "Fine, yes, boss. Molly and I discussed and thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to match you two."
She covered her mouth after speaking, her eyes filled with guilt.
Yang Ming cursed, "I think you’ve got an overactive main brain!"
Lyu pouted pitifully.
A communication request popped up on Yang Ming’s wristwatch. He tapped to agree, and the same blonde girl from two or three years ago appeared in the dialogue box.
Those high-priced maintenance devices had started showing their worth.
She wore a loose shirt and black-framed glasses, presumably sitting at the desk in the cabin. Her wine-red hair was styled in twin ponytails, and her fair, luminous skin looked like it had a high-grade beauty filter.
Mimili awkwardly raised her hand, her voice a bit stiff, and directly said,
"I heard you broke up, did you, Uncle Hanton?"
Yang Ming shrugged, "Not really a breakup, just a minor emotional hiccup."
"Are you free lately?" Mimili smiled, "I’m about to take a break, business has been booming, and I feel a bit exhausted. If you have time, how about we hang out for a few days?"
Yang Ming laughed, "My spaceship is malfunctioning; I can’t go too far for now. Plus, I have a long trip planned in a few days, so I might not be able to accompany you."
Mimili shrugged, muttering, "Alright, we all have lots to do. I can relax on my own."
"By the way, have you been checking in on your father?"
"Of course, I contact him once a week," Mimili hesitated slightly, "Let’s keep it that way, Uncle Hanton. I’ll continue studying, and if you need someone to talk to, feel free to call me anytime."
Yang Ming waved farewell, ending the communication.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief and grabbed Lyu’s holographic projection, squeezing it thoroughly several times.
What "Abyss" player could resist the allure of a younger Star Widow?
"Behave yourself," Yang Ming scolded sternly. "Spend your time inspecting a 400-meter battleship instead!"
"Yes, boss," Lyu answered weakly.
Yang Ming shook his head and gazed at the passing nighttime scenery outside the window, feeling inexplicably better.
One couldn’t deny, Mimili’s niece was getting prettier by the day.
Around the same time,
In the remote Star Domain of the Sherman Empire, a survey ship belonging to Molly Miss Mining Group hovered near a rocky planet, operating at full power to search for something.
Onboard were over sixty crew members, charged with the task of finding mineral veins.
The survey ship carried many self-operating instruments, most of which the crew would neither notice nor inquire about, even if they did notice.
At this moment, the captain and a few seasoned crew members analyzed the planet’s mineral imagery, uncovering some unexpected findings.
