Jun Qingyu looked at their reactions and found nothing abnormal, so he ruled out the possibility that the mole was one of the experimental products.

That is to say, it was a person.

Jun Qingyu knitted his brows, it seemed like he had overlooked some very important information.

After watching them drink, Shi Kaixin took the test tubes back one by one.

When Jun Qingyu didn’t talk, standing there and blocking the small door wasn’t a good idea. Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Why is sir looking for us?”

“Is the purpose of this visit solely to distribute fruit and vegetable juice? We are hard-pressed in this war, and unless there’s anything else, how about allowing us to get back to our posts?”

“The time used for dilly-dallying can still be used to roster those on night patrols.”

Before Jun Qingyu could comment on anything, Shi Kaixin shot a glance at that man first, “Shut up.”

The other party shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.

Jun Qingyu was surprised when he heard that. The war was tense. They were in the midst of an interstellar war right now?

In the original story, the token of Fu Yuanchuan’s Corps was stolen, which triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions, including war.

Even though the token was still here, the person hidden in Fu Yuanchuan’s side had never been found.

This time it might also be the handiwork of that ‘friend’ of Fu Yuanchuan.

But…

Jun Qingyu carefully distinguished the people in front of him, no one had silver hair.

Did he get it wrong again? A juncture in the original plot had disappeared, therefore this plot point should no longer exist?!

The insider at hand might have nothing to do with the ‘silver-haired friend’ at all.

Generally speaking, every book was equivalent to a world and the consciousness in the book would correct the deviation from the main storyline. Would such a crucial main plot point disappear just like that?

After a moment of silence, Jun Qingyu unhurriedly released his universal life energy with the intention of carefully examining whether a test subject had been disguised among them.

However, a test subject was not found, though a response to his universal life energy was detected in one of them.

His finger halted. A familiar face, or at least one he had previously encountered, caught Jun Qingyu’s quick glance despite his apparent lack of intent to do so.

After some consideration, Jun Qingyu withdrew his universal life energy and declared, “The ones among you who are more familiar with Fu Yuanchuan are to remain.”

As soon as those words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

This…what do you mean by this?

Shi Kaixin responded quickly, “Those from the local military district may return and get some rest.”

Apart from the members of Fu Yuanchuan’s Corps who were left behind, there were also the locals, some of whom Jun Qingyu’s remark could have excluded.

Without saying anything or asking any questions, several of the locals left blankly.

The rest were brought here by Fu Yuanchuan, they were hardly familiar, but they were at least considered his immediate subordinates.

Acquaintances who met could barely fit into the ‘friend’ category, and then there is their hair…

Not even close to silver, light brown.

There were only so many people left and Jun Qingyu did not hide his gaze anymore. Probably because he was a little bit shaken up by his stare, the man touched his nose, and asked awkwardly, “Sir, what do you keep looking at me for?”

When Shi Kaixin saw Yu Zhi standing next to the man, he too, imitated Jun Qingyu and surveyed the man, ready to strike at any given moment.

Jun Qingyu said tacitly, “I don’t think your hair colour is pleasant to look at, it might be better to change it to silver.”

The man froze, “Huh?”

Ignoring the man’s confusion, Jun Qingyu said indifferently in his next sentence, “Seize him.”

Shi Kaixin instantly stretched out his hand to hook a pair of electronic handcuffs on the man’s left wrist and the man subconsciously raised his hand to block him. Shi Kaixin took advantage of the situation to hang the electronic handcuffs on the man’s right wrist and then went around the back to restrain his neck.

Within three seconds, the man was firmly pinned to the ground by Shi Kaixin.

Yu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, “S-sir?”

There was quite a bit of action here, and many people in the hall took note of the situation as abnormal and looked cautiously.

“No, sir, you just don’t like the colour of my hair, you wouldn’t…”

“Look at you, you said you’d dye your hair ages ago, but you were too lazy to do it.”

“Well…Is there a military law against light brown hair?”

Several of them chatted without thinking the matter through and they all took it as a joke; after all, arresting someone due to disliking their hair colour could not be justified.

Jun Qingyu keenly picked out that sentence in many remarks, “He wanted to dye his hair?”

“That’s right, he wanted to dye it years ago, but he hadn’t had the time. If sir doesn’t like it, I’ll go online to buy hair dye and dye it for him later.”

Jun Qingyu measuredly lifted one of his eyebrows.

The original story only mentioned this silver-haired friend at the end when he incited the war, and after transmigrating to this place, Jun Qingyu also intuitively focused on their hair colour when looking for someone with the scope of a ‘friend’, thinking it would be easy to find him. As a result, he hadn’t found him until now.

But it turned out that it was not dyed?!

Due to the changes in the plot, the exact details of the time and place have also deviated.

He shouldn’t have stuck to ‘silver hair’ from the very beginning.

Jun Qingyu, who had this epiphany, “……”

You’d better not let me know who the author of this original story is, I want to rip his head off.

Jun Qingyu concealed his emotions without batting an eyelid and had no intention of having Shi Kaixin let the person go, “Drag him into the back room and lock him up until Yuanchuan returns to deal with him.”

Shi Kaixin immediately answered, “Yes!”

Yu Manqing’s eyes widened suddenly, “For what reason? You’re sick——are you okay? You don’t like the colour of my hair and you’re locking me up? Leave it to the marshal. You think this is a playground for you to play house!”

Not only was Yu Manqing dissatisfied, but the others didn’t get it either. In their opinion, Yu Manqing was a comrade-in-arms, so naturally, they couldn’t just let Shi Kaixin drag him off at Jun Qingyu’s behest.

Jun Qingyu didn’t spare any explanation, “Shi Kaixin.”

“Yes.”

“Search the left pocket of his outer shirt.”

Yu Manqing’s expression changed, “What are you searching for!? Are there no human rights? You can do a search whenever you want?! Let go of me!”

“Sir, this isn’t appropriate.”

“What’s this…Say something, Brother Yu.”

Everyone could see that Shi Kaixin was following Jun Qingyu’s orders, they refrained from speaking, and instead, turned their attention to Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi was still confused as to what was going on, and after some thought, he said, “Sir, how about…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Shi Kaixin pulled something out of Yu Manqing’s pocket–it was half a bag of unfinished fruit and vegetable juice.

Fruit and vegetable juice was served on time and could not be hidden. This was a rule posted on the partitioned-off area; it was impossible for them to not see it.

Although it was only half a bag of fruit and vegetable juice, which did not seem like a significant issue in the eyes of others, it did constitute theft even though it was just a mouthful.

No one spoke for a while.

Jun Qingyu curled his fingertips and tapped the desktop twice, “I’ll give you three sentences to state in your defence.”

“What do I have to say in my defence?”

“One sentence.”

“I just took a sip, and since I took it, what do you want to do about it?”

“Two sentences.”

“I can’t finish it and want to bring it back to drink, is there a problem with that?”

“Drag him out.”

Shi Kaixin dragged Yu Manqing away, he spared no effort in struggling and yelling, “Wait a minute…I have something to say, what you’re——”

“Major Yu.”

Jun Qingyu cut him off and said, “I cannot determine your identity as an undercover Federal agent for the time being, but I have the right to lock you up for privately stashing fruit and vegetable juice. Don’t think of contacting anyone until the war is over.”

The reason he pointed out Yu Manqing’s identity as an undercover agent was because he didn’t want other people, who had no clue, to get carried away by their brotherhood and do something they shouldn’t.

Yu Manqing was suddenly stumped for words, “Do you think that you can speculate on people at will just because you are the Imperial Consort? Do you have any proof?!”

Of course, Jun Qingyu didn’t. He just relied on catching him stealing fruit and vegetable juice. Generally speaking, the Imperial soldiers were quite compliant, and with fruit and vegetable juice delivered to them on time–even desserts–it was impossible for them to do this kind of thing if it was explicitly stated that they could not stash it privately.

His identity was in doubt. He could disrupt the surveillance and let the robots in, and Jun Qingyu could establish there was an issue with him, in reference to the original story.

Even so, it was also true that there was no evidence.

Jun Qingyu asked rhetorically, “The announcement was prepared by me, which was no different from my order. If you violate the Imperial Consort’s order, do you need a reason to be locked up?”

He did not intend to determine the identity of the other party as a spy at the moment, and he had a better and more reasonable method. There was no need to do anything else that would make people talk.

Yu Manqing opened and shut his mouth. Jun Qingyu’s comment on him being an undercover agent was a hit-and-miss, and he changed the subject to something he could not refute.

Yu Manqing gritted his teeth as he said, “Don’t change the subject, you said earlier…Hmm!?”

Shi Kaixin saved them the trouble by stuffing a towel into his mouth, “I’ll drag him away, sir.”

“Mhm.”

Yu Zhi watched as that person got taken away, “Sir…”

He wanted to state this was somewhat wrong, but the reason Jun Qingyu placed him in confinement was not for being an insider, it was for stealing, which was reasonable and fair.

The undercover agent thing was like a thorn in the side of one’s heart–a nagging pain in the ass.

The person had been caught, there was nothing wrong with following up carefully. Jun Qingyu turned around, sat back in his chair and said, “You’re dismissed.”

The few by the door did not move, and those hiding behind them were holding their light brain and operating something.

Jun Qingyu took a look. The signal here had already been restored and the other part seemed to be sending some messages.

The next moment, his light brain rang.

Jun Qingyu’s expression remained unchanged. They were complaining earlier?

It should not be a private chat but rather, through their internal wartime communications; otherwise, their messages would not have been answered so quickly.

After receiving a video chat, Jun Qingyu wanted to part his lips to explain before Fu Yuanchuan had the need to ask any questions.

However, Fu Yuanchuan was a step ahead and said, “I’ll have someone keep an eye on Yu Manqing and I’ve arranged for someone to investigate his identity. There should be results soon. Remember to let Shi Kaixin protect you and don’t walk around alone, ok?”

“I…”

“I’ll return once I’m done here.”

“But…”

“Be good. Listen to me. I know you don’t like chaotic environments, but it’s too dangerous for you to expose your identity. Don’t run around.”

Jun Qingyu was stunned. He hadn’t told Fu Yuanchuan anything yet. Why did Fu Yuanchuan simply arrange it?

“You’re not going to listen to my explanation and analysis?”

When he met Jun Qingyu’s slightly surprised look, Fu Yuanchuan was gentle and said softly, “No need to explain, my little fish always has a good sense of propriety.”

It was impossible for the little fish to spout nonsense about such a huge matter, considering that there might be some unspeakable evidence, Fu Yuanchuan would not pursue the matter any further.

Moreover, he was only in confinement, not convicted of undercover work, and theft was an absolute certainty.

The little fish did nothing wrong by placing him in detention for stealing.

It was just that for others, Yu Manqing was a brother they grew up with and reaped their successes with. They would naturally favour Yu Manqing, compared to the little fish, who appeared out of nowhere. If it weren’t for stealing and violating military orders, confinement wouldn’t go without a hitch.

They were merely biased, and they probably still believed it was a great deal to harbour some unfinished fruit and vegetable juice; the problem was it was in violation of military orders.

Fu Yuanchuan could surmise that a lot of spring water was added to the fruit and vegetable juice made this time.

This has never happened before with the fruit and vegetable juice supplied to the Corps since the concentration was low, and there was no means to steal them.

Yet, it was evident from the first sip that something was amiss this time, and there was no way to explain to the others the significance of the spring water, which was simply perceived as a beverage.

The information they know was different and so was their perspective.

The little fish was equivalent to a person standing on the opposite side of the fence from them.

Fu Yuanchuan thought these people could not stay.

Even though Jun Qingyu might not care about this, Fu Yuanchuan felt distressed for the little fish. He coaxed softly, “You’re doing well, ignore them.”
