Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 16) Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy (Part 16) Gu Shengyin almost burst into laughter as she watched the red-haired man being brought before her without any resistance, all smiles and languor.
She waved her hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only the two of them in the command room.
“Why are you here?” Gu Shengyin asked with a headache.
The Star Eagle, as a battleship of the Raging Lion Legion, naturally had top-notch defenses. But even the most extraordinary defenses could hardly stop an SSS-tier powerhouse.
Enoch threw her a coquettish wink, “I found that just half a day without seeing you, and I missed you. Thinking about how long it will be before I can see you again, it’s unbearable for me.”
Gu Shengyin: “…There’s video communication.”
Enoch made a wounded face: “Video communication, that cold and impersonal thing, can’t soothe my desolate heart that pines for my lover.”
Gu Shengyin: “…” She took a deep breath to hold back the retort that was on the tip of her tongue.
In the end, she could only say coldly, “Since you’re here now, I won’t say much more. However, you must be subject to the supervision of the Star Eagle.”
An SSS-tier powerhouse could cause immeasurable destruction. Even if Gu Shengyin trusted her lover, as a commander, she had to provide explanations to her subordinates.
Enoch looked at the woman whose expression was stern but who was actually compromising for him, and he broke into a dazzling smile.
Whether someone has you in their heart isn’t about what they say to you, it’s about how much they are willing to bend for you.
Gu Shengyin called her subordinates in and pointed at Enoch, “This is Enoch, my friend. The incident of him sneaking onto the Star Eagle has been a misunderstanding. From now on, you just need to remind him where he can’t go.”
The officers who were clueless just nodded, but the two guards who had seen Enoch had odd expressions on their faces.
His Royal Highness the Admiral actually brought his man on board the Star Eagle! Was this the rhythm of going back to the Imperial Capital to meet the parents? Had Admiral Situ really progressed to this stage with him? They were so curious, what to do!
Outerly calm but inwardly frenzied, the two men relished the feeling of being the only sober ones amongst the drunken crowd. At the same time, they were distressed by keeping such a big secret to themselves without being able to share it.
At that moment, the Star Eagle’s deputy captain hurried over and whispered something to Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin nodded and said to everyone, “If there’s nothing else, return to your posts.”
Enoch knew she had things to do and promptly followed the others out with self-awareness.
Gu Shengyin opened a communication device, and on the screen appeared a man dressed in a white casual outfit.
“Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince,” Gu Shengyin greeted with a bow.
“Admiral Situ, I’ve just received some intelligence. Someone is plotting to ambush the Star Eagle. You better change the course immediately,” the Crown Prince said urgently.
Of course, he was anxious. His mother was the Emperor’s first wife and had died early.
The current Empress was the Emperor’s second wife. She gave birth to the Second Prince, who was just one year younger than him. Although he was the first in line for succession, the Second Prince’s maternal family was powerful and backed by the Military Department. His position as heir was not as secure as it seemed.
The Situ Family were his supporters, yet their strength mainly lay in the political arena. With the current interstellar situation, it was clear that those with military power were the real heavyweights.
Now, the Situ Family had produced an outlier, Situ Jin, who at a young age was already a commander of the Three Ace Legions, and there seemed to be hope for him to advance even further to become the top person in the Military Department.
If Situ Jin could rise to power, the Crown Prince’s position as heir would be as solid as Mount Tai. Naturally, no one cared more about Situ Jin’s safety than the Crown Prince.
