I thought of the person whom the admiral mentioned in the communication just now, Duke Bancroft, who was going to lead the survey team.Mu Qing felt more and more that he seemed to smell a conspiracy.

Bancroft is a very unusual person. He was originally born in a small noble family in the empire. That noble family may be better than the common people, but in the prosperous Emperor Star, it is obvious that he is not even ranked at the bottom. .But since Bancroft became the head of the family, he is very good at being a man and good at making money.

It has to be said that this person is very talented in business. He obviously did not inherit much family business, but it has grown rapidly under his hands.He became the number one rich man in the empire by himself, and even used his wealth to establish a powerful network and was awarded the title of duke.

Moreover, the duke also has an unprecedented vision for technology. He funded many scientific research projects that others were not optimistic about at the time.These projects, and the success of the project spinoffs, have done Bancroft a huge boon.

For example, the invention of technology to explore rare mineral deposits was an accident.

The researcher Bancroft funded at the beginning wanted to study only ordinary ore type analysis systems, but he did not expect to have a breakthrough in another direction in an experiment.Upon seeing this, the Duke invested a lot of money to quickly advance this technology in this direction and obtained a patent right.

There are many similar things. He even set up a foundation in his own name for students who want to engage in scientific research projects but have no capital. Many young people he knows have benefited and fulfilled their dreams.Of course, he also gained huge benefits from it, and the Duke's status rose even higher.

However, what Mu Qing cares most about is that Bancroft has a very close relationship with the First Prince Albert, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the First Prince's right-hand man.So this time Bancroft came here in person, no matter how Mu Qing looked at it, he felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.

Mu Qing and Ao Zhan looked at each other and didn't say anything more.The good atmosphere that was so hard to come by is now gone.

And unexpectedly, just received the news from the Emperor Star Army the day before, and by the evening of the next day, Bancroft had already arrived here with his team.

Hearing Yan Xiu's report, Ao Zhan felt that Hei Jing was really attractive. This group of people was on the highest-level starship, and they came here at the fastest speed. They really couldn't wait.

"I heard that the Duke of Bancroft also came here with his daughter, Miss Belinda."

Ao Zhan nodded when he heard the words, and was not interested in who Bancroft brought, but he felt a little different when Yan Xiu specifically mentioned the name of the other party's daughter.He is a little familiar with this name, but Ao Zhan has no impression of who it is or what it looks like.

However, Yan Xiu obviously thinks more than Ao Zhan. He has been with Ao Zhan for so long, and he has recently noticed that the atmosphere between his chief and Professor Mu is not right. His chief probably likes Professor Mu. of.

And this Miss Belinda, although she has nothing to do with the officer, but when she was in Emperor Star, there were some unrealistic rumors about her officer and Miss Belinda.

It's just that the chief never cared about these things, and put his mind on the military department, so he didn't take such rumors to heart.

Although the rumors are not true, it is said that Miss Belinda has always regarded herself as the future spouse of the chief.If this is misunderstood by Professor Mu, the officer will be miserable!

As an adjutant, Yan Xiu can't speak out to interfere with the chief's emotional problems, so he can only think about it in his heart.Pray and wait until Belinda is long gone by now and has a crush on someone else.

Ao Zhan postponed the meeting with Bancroft until the next day, which obviously did not give these people face.Mu Qing, who was quietly making flowers at the side, felt a little happier when he heard Ao Zhan's order.After all, he felt that this group of people came completely for Ao Zhan, with absolutely no good intentions.

Hearing that Ao Zhan did not plan to meet Bancroft and his party in person, but only sent himself to take the garrison here to settle them properly, Yan Xiu also left in a hurry.

On the other side, Bancroft, who was arranged in the mansion, watched Yan Xiu leave with a kind face before closing the door, looked at Belinda with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Didn't you keep saying Is Ao Zhan obsessed with you? Why didn't he come to greet us in person, but just sent a small adjutant.

Or are you lying to me, he doesn't take you seriously at all! "

Belinda couldn't help shivering when she saw her father's cold eyes.Although she usually acts absurdly outside, relying on her status as the eldest lady of the Duke's family to domineering everywhere, but she is very afraid of her father.

She knew that her father was a ruthless person, and he didn't have much love for their children.If he had no use value, he might end up as miserable as his father's previous wife.

So even though Belinda was very guilty, she still had to bite the bullet and lie: "How could it be, the entire empire knows that I am the only woman Ao Zhan recognizes, so he naturally loves me very much.

It's just that his character is like this, have you forgotten the evaluation of him outside?He is absolutely true love for me, and you will know when you see my father tomorrow! "

"It's better to be like this." Bancroft nodded upon hearing this, his expression still gloomy.

Belinda felt a little apprehensive, but she still couldn't help asking: "Father, Ao Zhan's situation has become like this now, why do you still want me to be with him, I..."

Halfway through speaking, seeing her father's cold eyes, Belinda hurriedly said: "No father, I don't mean to disobey you. I'm just worried that being with such a person won't bring any benefits to our family !"

Hearing his daughter's well-behaved words, Bancroft's expression finally softened.He smiled and reached out to stroke Belinda's long hair, looking like an ordinary loving father.He smiled and said, "My little Belinda, I'm your father, how could I harm you.

Don't worry, Ao Zhan will get better gradually.I found a P3 potion for him, it will definitely heal his mental strength and help him return to Emperor Star.When he takes the position of marshal again, you will be the wife of the marshal.

I do this for the happiness of my precious daughter.So Belinda, you won't let father down, will you? "

Belinda swallowed her saliva when she heard the words, thinking in her heart, even if mental power can be cured, her legs are still disabled.But she didn't dare to say more, she could only choose to trust the other party.He quickly nodded to his father, expressing that he understood.

Duke Bancroft patted Belinda on the shoulder and signaled her to go out.It's just that when Belinda turned around, when the Duke looked at his daughter's back, it seemed that he was looking at a pile of useless garbage.

Belinda, who returned to her room, felt very distressed. As the marshal of the empire, Ao Zhan was naturally in the limelight.It's just that he has never been tempted by anyone, and has always been alone.

Belinda was beautiful and bold.Even though she knew that seducing the marshal would probably not get any good results, she still confidently made such an attempt at the banquet, hoping to strike up a conversation with this big man.It's a pity that the other party completely ignored him and ignored his own existence.

At that time, Belinda had already boasted to the people around her at the banquet, and she was unwilling to return without success and be ridiculed by others for being overconfident.Then when Ao Zhan felt impatient and walked towards the lounge upstairs of the banquet, he followed Ao Zhan unhurriedly, pretending to be on the same road.

After Ao Zhan entered the room, he entered the lounge next to him and waited for a while before going back.He intentionally fabricated that he was taken away by the Marshal, and that the other party was obsessed with her, which made others jealous of her.

Although the others wondered why the Marshal, who had always kept his eyes on strangers, fell in love with Belinda, who was like a courtesan, they didn't have the guts to really ask for proof like this cold-faced King of Hades.So the romantic rumors between Belinda and Ao Zhan slowly spread.

Belinda was worried for many days after telling such a lie, but after a while she found that the rumors outside had not subsided, but nothing had happened to her.And she can use it to show off among her friends every time.

Because of this, Belinda became more courageous.Then she started to make up stories about herself and Ao Zhan, talking wantonly, and seeing the curious and envious eyes of the people around her, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

A lie has been told so many times that even the liar himself will believe it, and Belinda is like this.

She hardly spoke a complete sentence to Ao Zhan.But when she was constantly complimented by others, and took advantage of Ao Zhan's name, Belinda was fascinated, and she really thought she was the woman who was so special that she could take down the cold-faced Hades.
