Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 752 - 225: Stepping Into the Trap

Two days later.

Chen Ming followed the route laid out by Hong Guanghong and arrived at the last logistics warehouse he needed to control.

After controlling this logistics warehouse, the only thing left he needed to control was the last Industrial Colony.

Once the Industrial Colony was settled, Chen Ming’s initial task would also be finished.

The total time spent added up to about three and a half days.

The efficiency could be described as quite exaggerated.

However, just as Chen Ming returned to the port, preparing to board the ship to the next colony.

Song Pu spoke to Chen Ming through the special terminal: "Are you available now?"

"Just finished controlling a warehouse, I am free. What’s the matter?"

"I told you a few days ago about the plan to use Cheng Xinghai as bait for the trap."

Chen Ming instinctively glanced at Cheng Xinghai, who had recently finished questioning him about his experiences with Chen Ming and Bai Quan and was starting to ask about Chen Ming’s past.

Then he retracted his gaze and responded through the terminal: "I remember. Do you need my help over at the general’s?"

"Right, just go and control the fleet over there."

"Actually, I could have waited for you to finish running the last colony before contacting you, but their recent movements have been a bit strange, and I think it’s better to prepare some things earlier."

"Also, once you have controlled the fleet, there’s no need to stay there; otherwise, leaving the real Cheng Xinghai there might lead to some unexpected incidents."

"Information about Cheng Xinghai’s decoy has already been passed to the other side through spies, so now we wait and see if they come."

"It’s best if they come; otherwise, just continue as usual." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Song Pu explained everything at once, and Chen Ming had nothing to say, just replied before turning to review his Spiritual Power state.

After confirming his Spiritual Power was sufficient for work and did not require recovery time, he activated the Teleportation Engine.

Setting the destination to a frontline military Star System not far from him, where Cheng Xinghe was located.

After a brief teleportation.

Chen Ming’s Ruler appeared within a Star System with three Planets.

Chen Ming promptly activated the ship’s responder, broadcasting a special ship identification code arranged by Song Pu.

This identification code would allow him to travel smoothly to any Star System or Planet, even military ones.

Just like now, the Patrol Team in the Star System originally surrounding his ship immediately turned back upon verifying the identification code, letting him do whatever he wished.

However, Chen Ming’s purpose this time was clear; he directly followed the turning Patrol Team.

Heading toward the military orbital Space Station in the orbit of the volcanic Planet within the Star System.

This was a large Space Station integrating various military functions, overall larger than the Pirate Space Station with a city inside, enough to dock numerous ships.

Of course, Chen Ming’s Cruiser was no exception.

Successfully docking in the Space Station’s port.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xinghe, the highest commander locally, had received the news as soon as Chen Ming teleported into the Star System.

When Chen Ming landed at the Space Station’s port, Cheng Xinghe was already there to personally greet him.

As Chen Ming stepped off the ship and approached, Cheng Xinghe proactively extended his hand to Chen Ming, his eyes carrying a hint of excitement.

However, when Chen Ming shook his hand and waved his other hand to close the Cruiser’s hatch behind him, a trace of regret suddenly flashed in Cheng Xinghe’s eyes.

Chen Ming could only say that now he roughly understood the situation with Cheng Xinghe and Cheng Xinghai, the siblings.

Thus, Cheng Xinghe’s odd demeanor at the moment was still understandable from his perspective.

Soon after Cheng Xinghai heard that Chen Ming’s purpose this time was related to Cheng Xinghe, she went into her room and shut herself off.

Chen Ming specifically went to ask her, but she did not move, seemingly unwilling to face Cheng Xinghe, afraid of being mocked.

So Chen Ming did not bother her and went off the ship alone.

Although Cheng Xinghe felt a bit regretful for not seeing Cheng Xinghai, he didn’t forget the main task.

Rather, if Cheng Xinghai had really come out, it would have been somewhat troubling.

After all, he couldn’t be 100% sure that there wasn’t a spy hidden in such a public setting.

So Cheng Xinghe did not waste any more time, promptly heading with Chen Ming to another port of the Space Station.

The port Chen Ming had just landed at was a usual one, but the place where the actual fleet was docked wasn’t there.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Ming looked out through the shuttle boat’s porthole at a massive military port getting closer, with battleships densely docked inside, and suddenly thought of a question.

He asked Cheng Xinghe: "You said a trap was going to be set for them to jump into; what exactly are we going to do then, and how might they react?"

"Our exact actions? Surely stationing personnel on the Space Station for an ambush, with the fleet as the ultimate safeguard."

"Since the Government Army has obtained clues about Cheng Xinghai, they’ll definitely utilize some means to try to take Cheng Xinghai from our hands."

"The easiest and most effective way would be using spies, whether they’re there to rescue or assassinate, as long as Cheng Xinghai is out of our hands."

"But if the situation allows, the Government Army might seize the chance to directly breach the contract."
