Chapter 005: A Light Verse on the Joy of Forgetting One's Homeland

Hmm. Yan Xiaoshi obediently nodded, and then she resumed her mecha combat operations

Fang Shi smiled faintly, "Brother, it's nothing. By the way, I have something very interesting; Xiao Shi might like it."

Fang Shi, upon hearing this, rubbed his nose as a wave of soreness hit him. Not long ago, during a fight with three men in sunglasses, he had been struck by one of them. He had been so focused on Yan Xiaoshi that he had hardly paid attention to his own injury. "It's nothing, brother will go take care of his wound and then take you to find mom, okay?"

As expected, after Fang Shi briefly introduced the relevant operations, Yan Xiaoshi became engrossed and started playing with enthusiasm. Moreover, she handled the operations quite adeptly, and after a few rounds, she had essentially mastered the relevant techniques. This left Fang Shi slightly astonished; he did not expect that a five or six-year-old child could grasp things even faster than he could. He couldn't help but feel speechless. Could she be the legendary prodigy of mechanics?

After listening to the brief introduction of Bai Jingxuan, Yu Zhengyang was taken aback, as he did not expect that the woman before him was actually the young mistress of the Yan family, one of the "Five Great Families." What surprised him even more was the occurrence of a hijacking incident on the spaceship, with the hostage being none other than the young princess of the Yan family.

Returning to the small room in the residential area, Fang Shi placed Yan Xiaoshi on the bed, took out a tissue to wipe away the bloodstains, and then dealt with the situation briefly. Such minor injuries were of little concern to him. In the private area behind the repair shop at No. 56 He'an Street, he and Lezi had engaged in their fair share of "fights," and similar minor injuries were quite common.

In her arms, Yan Xiaoshi held a small cloth bear in one hand and wrapped her other arm around Fang Shi's neck, responding earnestly and resolutely: "They are the bad people, locking Xiaoshi in the room and not allowing her to go find her mother."

Yan Xiaoshi quickly pressed the start button and then playfully said: "Brother, let me play another round, okay? Besides, it has already started"

The small room does not have a private bathroom or shower; instead, it is shared, which indeed saves a considerable amount of space. Fang Shi stepped out of the room and casually locked the door behind him before leisurely walking towards the restroom located several dozen meters away.

Mother?" Fang Shi felt a slight joy; if they could find Yan Xiaoshi's mother, then things would be simple. "Do you know where your mother is? And what is your mother's name?"

Received, the first team is preparing to rescue the hostages, and the second team is preparing to apprehend the suspects. Remember, do not fire unless absolutely necessary. Sitting on the toilet, Yu Zhengyang revealed a faint cold smile, quickly issuing the relevant orders, while secretly thinking: "Kid, there is a path to heaven that you refuse to take, yet you come to hell without a door."

"Little poem, would you like to go find mother with brother?" Fang Shi asked once again tentatively as he saw the battle round end on the screen.

Good. On the tender little face of Yan Xiaoshi is a trace of worry that is hard to conceal

Yu Zhengyang instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. If anything were to happen to that young princess of the Yan family on the spaceship, not only would his future be bleak, but he would also likely be held accountable by the relevant authorities, rendering years of hard work futile. Therefore, he mobilized almost all the armed forces and related resources on the spaceship with the utmost speed

Fang Shi, holding the small poetry book by Yan He, hurried along, yet felt a sense of unease in his heart. Who exactly was the other party, to carry a firearm with them? It is explicitly prohibited to carry dangerous items such as firearms on starships.

Fang Shixin, filled with compassion, softly said: "Alright, brother will help Xiao Shi find her mother. However, Xiao Shi must not cry, for a child who cries too much cannot become a skilled pilot like Sister Shi'er."

Yu Zhengyang, the Chief of Security aboard the XY201 Starship, was leisurely enjoying his favorite afternoon tea in the lounge when he was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent message from the captain. Considering the captain's extremely anxious tone, he instinctively quickened his pace, wondering what could have happened to make the usually composed captain so unsettled, and why he, the somewhat bored Chief of Security, was being summoned. Could there have been a significant security incident on the ship?

"Brother, why don't we go to the hospital?" Yan Xiaoshi stood on the bed, her gaze fixed on Fang Shi's injured nose

It seems to be a person of great importance! Yu Zhengyang's thoughts stirred; someone who could be personally received by Captain Bai Jingxuan was certainly not an ordinary individual. Coupled with the presence of the book and that bodyguard who was as steady as a mountain, he could further confirm his suspicions.

Soon, Yu Zhengyang walked into the captain's cabin with a measured stride, cautiously glancing around. Inside, besides the somewhat portly Captain Bai Jingxuan, there was also a beautiful and elegant lady and a man in a suit wearing sunglasses.

My mother is named Su Mengchen, but I do not know where she is. Xiao Shi escaped just to find her. Brother, could you help Xiao Shi find our mother?" As she spoke of her mother, tears shimmered in Yan Xiao Shi's bright black eyes

Looking at Yan Xiaoshi's pitiful little face, Fang Shi revealed a hint of helplessness, "Alright, this is the last round, brother. I'm going to the restroom first, so you must not run around."

Yan Xiaoshi sat on the bed, her small hands swiftly manipulating the tactile game console in front of her, completely absorbed in the game, seemingly forgetting even her mother. Sitting beside her, Fang Shi couldn't help but furrow his brows in concern; at this moment, it seemed that even ten oxen would not be able to pull Yan Xiaoshi away from her obsession with the mech battles.

"Call 001, the target has appeared, alone, heading towards the restroom. The hostage should still be in the room," whispered the plainclothes officer responsible for surveillance and intelligence from a dark corner, speaking into a miniature intercom at his mouth.

"Xiao Shi, why did you say that the three people just now were bad?" In the encounter with those three, Fang Shi had acted out of desperation and had not considered the specific relationship between them and Yan Xiao Shi. Now that he had regained his composure, he naturally wanted to clarify the matter.

In the gaze filled with anticipation from Yan Xiaoshi, Fang Shi took out a handheld gaming console with a slightly metallic texture from his backpack. Inside was a mecha battle game, which, according to the manufacturer's promotion, bore some resemblance to real mecha battles. Of course, that was limited to the manufacturer's claims; Fang Shi usually used it to indulge in fantasies about mecha battles. Since Yan Xiaoshi aspired to become a powerful pilot, she might indeed enjoy this game.

Soon, Yu Zhengyang captured the figure of the criminal through the nearly omnipresent miniature cameras on the spaceship, and formulated a meticulous and detailed rescue plan based on the specific information obtained, subsequently initiating the rescue operation at the fastest speed

Um. Yan Xiaoshi nodded cleverly, looking at Fang Shi's face, which was ordinary to the point of being unremarkable, and suddenly exclaimed with concern: "Brother, your nose is bleeding"
