Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Chapter 264 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (17 words)

The prisoner's voice was weak and trembling, as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"What order? Explain in detail!"

Yun Suisi's eyes revealed a hint of planning as he stared intently at the prisoner, not missing a single change in his expression.

"The organization wants us to seize all the mineral resources on a certain spaceship during a certain period of time, and also to do our best to kill everyone on the spaceship."

The prisoner's voice grew weaker and weaker, as if each word was uttered with all his might.

"What time period? Which spaceship?"

Yun Suisi pressed on, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"It was during your return journey. As for which spaceship it was, they only said there were abundant mineral resources, but we didn't know it was you..."

The prisoner lowered his head, not daring to look Yun Suisi in the eye.

Who is behind this?

Yun Suisi pressed for an answer.

The prisoner slowly shook his head, his voice filled with endless despair:

"I don't know. We receive tasks through encrypted communication and never know who's in charge."

Yun Suisi stood up. He knew that this encounter was by no means accidental.

The forces behind this must have been planning this for a long time, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. A greater crisis may be lurking in the shadows, waiting for them.

Yun Suisi coldly surveyed the basement, then calmly gave instructions to his subordinates:

"Keep digging deeper, find out every clue you can find, don't let any detail slip by."

After giving his instructions, he left the basement with Yun Sui, Li Que, and Ran Cang.

As soon as I stepped out of the basement, the cool air hit me, washing away some of the bloodstains on my body.

Yun Sui stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharp as he looked at Ran Cang and Li Que. Though his voice was not loud, it carried an air of knowing everything:

"You two, it's obvious you have something on your mind. Just say it."

Ran Cang and Li Que exchanged a glance, their eyes meeting in the air, but for a moment they both hesitated.

Both of them were secretly calculating in their hearts, hoping that the other would speak first.

Li Que ultimately couldn't withstand Ran Cang's "sharp" gaze, which was like a knife, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a step forward.

Li Que scratched his head, a hint of nervousness on his face, and said cautiously:

"Boss, you mentioned the Shadow Organization during the interrogation just now. What's going on here?"

We'd never really heard of this before, and we were incredibly curious.

Ran Cang, standing to the side, almost rolled his eyes when he heard Li Que's blunt question, and muttered to himself:

Dude, you're really not good at beating around the bush.

Ran Cang quickly put on a smile and stepped forward, trying to smooth over Li Que's overly direct words:

"Hehehe, boss, you see, it's really okay if you didn't know some 'knowledge' before."

But things are different now. We are fortunate enough to work under you, so we should at least get a general understanding of your situation.

Otherwise, if I don't know anything when I go out to do things in the future, wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?

Please tell us about it, so we can have some idea.

As Ran Cang spoke, he carefully observed Yun Suisi's expression, afraid of displeasing him.

Yun Sui stood to the side, listening to the two's conversation, and couldn't help but seem thoughtful.

He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing curiosity and inquiry.

Although he didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Yun Suisi, full of anticipation.

His expression seemed to say: Ah Si, I really want to know too.

Yun Suisi looked at the three people in front of him and sighed slightly.

He understood that since they were following him, there were some things he couldn't keep hidden forever.

Yun Suisi led the three through a long corridor. No one spoke along the way; only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty space.

Finally, they returned to their spacious and bright living room.

The ornate crystal chandelier cast a soft light, creating a stark contrast with the gloomy basement.

Yun Suisi walked straight to the sofa, sat down with an upright posture, and exuded an innate leadership aura.

Upon seeing this, Ran Cang immediately displayed her quick wit.

She walked quickly to the table where the tea set was placed and deftly prepared to brew tea.

She thought to herself that her boss would definitely have to talk a lot about the Shadow Organization later, so she couldn't let him go thirsty.

She skillfully warmed the cup, took the tea, and brewed it, all in one smooth motion.

Soon, a faint aroma of tea filled the air.

Yun Suisi looked at the busy Ran Cang and nodded slightly in approval.

His gaze slowly swept over Li Que and Yun Sui standing in front of him, as well as Ran Cang who had just brewed tea and walked over, and he began to speak:

Before I tell you about the Shadow Organization, I'd like to ask you a question: how much do you know about space pirates?

Li Que scratched his head and answered first:

"Boss, I think space pirates are a bunch of guys who run rampant in the universe."

They sailed around robbing and looting, taking anything they could, with merchant ships transporting valuable mineral resources being their primary targets.

Ran Cang pursed his lips slightly and then said:

"Yeah, boss."

Moreover, I've heard that some space pirates are particularly ruthless, and if they encounter resistance, they won't show any mercy and will simply start a massacre.

However, they are generally small groups operating independently, and there are very few large-scale, organized gangs.

Yun Sui frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I believe that space pirates are not just about simple robbery and plunder."

Their existence may be linked to a complex chain of interests.

Perhaps someone is secretly supporting them and using them to achieve their own goals.

For example, controlling the flow of certain resources or disrupting the order of a specific area.

After hearing the three people's answers, Yun Suisi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and a hint of relief appeared in his eyes:

What you all say makes sense.

Space pirates may appear to be a rabble, but in reality, the situation behind them is far more complex than it seems.

"In the world of space pirates, they will stop at nothing to make money."

Yun Suisi continued, "When there are wealthy merchant ships as targets, they will swarm them like sharks smelling blood."

But once merchant ships become hard to find and resources become scarce, they will turn their attention to their own kind.

Those pirate gangs with slightly weaker strength became their targets.

In order to gain the upper hand in this bloody struggle for profits, some pirates began to frequently unite.

No longer content with petty robberies, they began planning more daring and bloody operations.

Li Que frowned as he listened and couldn't help but interject:

"Boss, it's one thing for these pirates to collude with each other, but why are they even attacking their own people? That's too ruthless!"

Yun Suisi sneered:

"When faced with absolute self-interest, pirates have no sense of morality."

All they knew was that whoever possessed more resources and power would survive in this cruel universe.

Ran Cang nodded thoughtfully:

"No wonder the pirate attacks we hear about are becoming increasingly terrifying in scale and methods."

Yun Suisi nodded slightly and continued:

"As time went on, these united pirate forces discovered that relying solely on robbing merchant ships and annexing other pirates was not a sustainable way to grow.

So they extended their reach to a wider area and began recruiting people from all walks of life.

They specifically target those who are vicious and have no moral bottom line.

Because these people are more easily driven by self-interest and are more willing to carry out bloody and cruel tasks without hesitation.

Yun Sui frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes:

"Wouldn't their power expand rapidly in this way?"

Moreover, once they infiltrate various industries, they become even more difficult to detect and prevent.
