HPDBC Chapter 696 Gu Qinglan, Chief of Galaxy 0101
Chapter 696 Gu Qinglan, Chief of Galaxy 0101
0101 Gateway Galaxy, Chief Building.
The entire building resembles a giant silver sword piercing the sky, its exterior walls made of the finest refractive alloy, gleaming under the light of the Gemini stars.
Inside the top-floor office of the chief, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the bustling interstellar shipping lanes, while the interior presents an extremely luxurious and private scene.
Several young men, all over three meters tall, with handsome faces like marble sculptures and well-proportioned, powerful muscles, were moving in and out of the spacious office hall, wearing tight-fitting silver uniforms.
Some of them were processing complex star chart data, while others were conversing quietly; every movement they made was extremely efficient.
These are all the private secretaries of Gu Qinglan, the chief of the 0101 galaxy.
Gu Qinglan was sitting in an office chair carved from the spine of a giant star beast.
She looked to be around thirty years old, the age when a woman's charm is at its peak. Her dark red, form-fitting combat uniform perfectly accentuated her mature curves, and her brows exuded an air of authority and cold elegance that came from years of wielding power.
With a flick of her slender, pale fingertips, a report from Starport popped up.
"The unusual activity at the Star Harbor VIP lounge three days ago..."
Gu Qinglan glanced at the date and frowned slightly.
The report had passed through several hands before finally reaching her desk three days later.
Although the high-ranking officials at Starport were also mid-level Martial Gods, their report clearly stated that the sudden pressure was so powerful that they could not perceive its exact location and could only pinpoint it to the large area of the Supreme Rest Area.
"The VIP lounge area..."
Gu Qinglan murmured to herself, her eyes filled with contemplation.
That place is inhabited by VIPs from various constellations of Taurus, or by prodigies from some top-tier wealthy families who happen to be passing through.
The main star region is full of hidden talents; it's not impossible that a high-level martial god who hates being disturbed, or even an interstellar war god, might pass by.
But as the manager of this star system, she could not stand idly by.
At least this attitude is necessary!
"Gu Feng, Gu Yun."
Gu Qinglan called out softly.
The two male secretaries who were standing to the side organizing documents immediately stopped what they were doing, quickly walked up to Gu Qingyuan, their expressions respectful, their eyes filled with a kind of fascination with a powerful person:
"Commander-in-Chief, please give your orders."
Gu Qinglan stood up, her long, bright red hair spreading out like flames.
"Prepare the hover shuttle. Come with me to the Starport Supreme Zone."
……
at the same time.
Star Harbor, the exclusive entrance for VIPs.
Dozens of high-ranking dispatchers, all dressed in uniforms and possessing abilities at the pinnacle of mystery, stood solemnly in two rows on either side.
The commander of the Starport City garrison, a mid-level Martial God who is usually elusive, is wiping the cold sweat from his brow as he personally guards the passage gate.
He received a notification from the Taurus sequence ten minutes ago: a powerful figure with ??? permissions is about to clear the level and proceed to the star gate leading to the central area.
"They're here..."
The commander watched the maglev vehicle slowly approaching from afar, his heart pounding like a drum.
As the hatch opened, Lin Qiye and his entourage were revealed.
"Snapped!"
The senior dispatchers on both sides bowed in unison.
The commander hurried forward, not daring to look directly into Lin Qiye's dark purple eyes, but bowing deeply, his tone extremely humble:
"Sir, I am the CEO of Starport 0101. Your personal warship is ready and can enter the stargate jump orbit at any time."
"please--!"
He turned to the side and gestured for him to enter.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly and walked calmly through the crowd.
Chen Tianyang and his two companions followed behind, their hearts pounding as they watched the once unapproachable high-ranking officials of the main star now appear as if they were walking on thin ice.
"Is this...is this Lin Qiye's power?"
Chen Tianyang swallowed hard, his only thought being: the best thing he ever did was to choose to stand by this man back in the 0755 star system.
……
"Boom—!!!"
A battlecruiser-class escort warship, its hull gleaming with a dark gold sheen, slowly sailed away from its berth amidst the astonished gazes of countless onlookers.
Ahead of the warship, a massive stargate was slowly opening, and a deep blue vortex of spatial energy was spinning wildly.
"Target: District 086, Central Region of the Main Star Sector!"
"Stargate Jump - Initiate!"
With a flash of light, the warship vanished into the dark void.
……
at the same time.
Star Harbor Headquarters Building.
Suddenly, a series of rapid and rhythmic thuds of leather boots came from the front hall.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"
As the guards announced their arrival, the crowd that had been thronging the hall instantly receded to both sides like a tide.
Everyone instinctively held their breath and bowed their heads in respect.
Gu Qinglan walked at the very front.
Her stunningly beautiful yet aloof face appeared sculpted like ice under the lights, with two handsome male secretaries, each over three meters tall and exuding an imposing presence, following closely behind.
The CEO of Star Harbor, the top executive of Star Harbor, was waiting at the elevator entrance. Upon seeing Gu Qinglan appear, he quickly went to greet her, bending low.
"Chief Gu, you've come in person."
Gu Qinglan stopped in her tracks, her long legs standing out exceptionally well in her tight-fitting combat suit.
She gave the CEO a cold look and asked bluntly:
"Where is that gentleman?"
A fine layer of sweat appeared on the CEO's forehead. He bowed slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness:
"Chief, you're too late. That person has already entered the Stargate jump orbit through the Supreme Exclusive Channel and left completely three minutes ago."
Although he knew that Gu Qinglan was the Grand Commander of the Star System and came from the Gu family, a top-tier wealthy family on the main star.
But in the end, he was just a prodigy from a branch of the family.
As the head of Star Harbor, he was well aware of the rules of the Taurus sequence.
The big shot from earlier used the back door of the Taurus sequence!
Even if you gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to stop someone like that.
We dare not delay even the slightest bit!
He opted for the safest option—expedited official processing—and released the passenger directly.
Gu Qinglan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not get angry.
She certainly understood what the CEO meant.
"Retrieve all surveillance footage from the VIP access channel," she ordered coldly.
"This... Chief, please come with me." The CEO did not refuse and led Gu Qinglan into the core monitoring room.
On the giant holographic screen, the images began to rewind.
However, when the image froze on the moment the adult and his entourage stepped into the gate, Gu Qinglan's pupils suddenly contracted.
On the screen, the official and his subordinates were shrouded in a constantly flowing mist.
Not to mention seeing their faces clearly, even their body outlines were in a distorted, overlapping state.
"This is... a masking effect from the Taurus sequence?"
Gu Qinglan's slender fingers gently stroked the cold countertop, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.
As the Grand Commander of the Galaxy, she possesses S-level high-level authority within the Star Network.
But now, even she can't see through this fog?
She had never encountered this level of blocking before.
In her mind, only those interstellar war gods who had made great achievements on the interstellar battlefield had such qualifications.
