Everything is going according to plan for everyone.
First, the national security agency announced the removal of the surveillance around Jiang Miao and withdrew Major Yan He.
“Call me if anything comes up,” he told her.
Jiang Miao nodded.
Major Yan He brushed her beautiful black hair and, unable to resist, bent down and kissed her again.
Jiang Miao watched him leave and then took leave from work the next day, starting her accumulated annual leave.
Later that same day, an Allison Corporation spacecraft was scheduled to fly from headquarters to the Blue Cloud star system, where Allison had a factory. Before the spacecraft took off, Dr. Tanaka entrusted a woman to their colleague Archie Kirk from the technical support department.
“Please make sure she gets there,” he said.

The woman in the black suit said, “Come here for a moment.”
A few minutes later, Major Yan He appeared before her, neatly dressed. The woman in the black suit was satisfied and nodded, “She came back from the company yesterday and started her vacation. She’s been at home almost all day today. I have a feeling something’s off. Take a look.”
The surveillance footage was not from inside Jiang Miao’s house. In fact, after Major Yan He left the day before, Jiang Miao had thrown the two “forgotten” bugs in the guest room into the garbage disposal.
The footage Major Yan He saw was taken from outside the building. Tiny spy robots clung to the glass curtain wall outside, using imaging technology that could penetrate the special coating on the glass to capture images inside the house.
Jiang Miao was lazily half-lying on the sofa, with a light screen open in front of her, watching a boring and melodramatic soap opera, seemingly very absorbed.
“She was like this yesterday too, barely doing anything else. She got up around noon, took two-hour-long baths, then lounged on the sofa doing nothing, watching soap operas to kill time,” the woman in the black suit frowned. “But I feel something’s wrong. What do you think, Major?”
Major Yan He enlarged the footage, squinted at it for a while, and then suddenly his pupils contracted, and he spoke quickly, “Show me other footage, not her lying down!”
The technician quickly pulled up a video of Jiang Miao walking in the living room.
Major Yan He’s face instantly turned ashen.
“That’s not Jiang Miao!” he said.
All eyes in the room turned to him.
The woman in the black suit glanced at the video—she couldn’t see anything wrong—and then quickly turned to Major Yan He, “Are you sure?”
Despite the micro spy robots continuously tracking her from the air since Jiang Miao left the company yesterday.
“The walking posture is different!” Major Yan He said firmly, “This person is not her!”
“One squad, confirm immediately if the person in the room is Jiang Miao!” the woman in the black suit ordered swiftly, pressing a subdermal communicator behind her ear.
The people in the room watched the first squad enter directly through the front door, surrounding the “Jiang Miao” on the sofa.
But “Jiang Miao” showed no reaction to the armed agents, maintaining her lazy posture. She even struck a more seductive pose. Even through the screen, everyone monitoring in the room knew Major Yan He was right—this “Jiang Miao” was definitely suspicious.
In fact, it was the seductive behavior of this “Jiang Miao” that tipped Major Yan He off. After spending a month with the real Jiang Miao, he was very familiar with her.
Jiang Miao would never walk with such a sway. Moreover, this fake Jiang Miao had a larger bust. Such details could only be noticed by someone like Major Yan He, who had spent close, attentive time with her.
On screen, the agents roughly pinned “Jiang Miao” to the sofa, tore open her loungewear, and lifted her arm to check her armpit.
“Damn!” the first squad leader reported, “It’s an AI robot! A really advanced one!”
The robot is from the Zhenwo Corporation, with its switch located in the armpit area.
One of the agents was even more forceful, grabbing “Jiang Miao’s” face and tearing off the facial mask. Without Jiang Miao’s facial mask, they could see the crisscrossing glass muscle fibers underneath.
This was Zhenwo Corporation’s patented technology, known for its high realism, making their robots’ expressions particularly vivid and lifelike, which is why they were especially popular.
Everyone in the surveillance room looked as grim as Major Yan He. These elite personnel had been monitoring one person with full effort, only to be fooled right under their noses by a robot executing a perfect Golden Cicada Escape!
The technician from the first squad had already shut down the robot, opened its chest cavity, and plugged a wire from his brain-computer into the robot’s core.
“It’s a K70, an old model. The core has been wiped clean, with no user information left. It’s been handled very thoroughly, impossible to recover. The robot’s identification code… is also destroyed.”
The identification code, engraved inside the shell, had been completely scratched out.
This meant they couldn’t obtain any useful information from the robot.
“Check if any Allison Corporation spacecraft have left in the past two days!” the woman in the black suit quickly made a decision and gave the order.
“Report, two Allison Corporation spacecraft left the capital planet yesterday! One left today!”
“Get me in touch with Allison’s security chief!”
With the cooperation of Alison’s security chief, surveillance footage of Dr. Min Tanaka escorting an unidentified woman onto one of the spacecraft quickly arrived.
“Found her!” the woman in the black suit revealed a triumphant smile.
Everyone, including Major Yan He, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Okay, just follow the plan,” someone said.
The atmosphere in the surveillance room relaxed significantly.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone got up to drink coffee and eat donuts, Major Yan He walked over to the woman in the black suit and earnestly said, “Ma’am, I request to join the capture operation.”
The woman in the black suit had a good impression of Major Yan He. Not only because she had seen his resume, which was impressive—at least, before he was captured. During this month of cooperation, Major Yan He had been directly under her leadership, reporting to her.
It was clear that he was a man with comprehensive capabilities, particularly strong psychological qualities. In the current situation, he had not shown any signs of depression but was striving to seize the opportunity to redeem himself.
“Request granted,” the woman in the black suit nodded, “You’ll be assigned to the special operations team and report to Major Reno.”
Major Yan He saluted her.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, the woman in the black suit called him back, “Major!”
“I will objectively report your performance in this operation,” she said.
Major Yan He bowed his head gratefully.
The woman nodded slightly.
It was truly a pity for such an excellent young man to have his career derailed. Moreover, the woman in the black suit had always disagreed with the existing unspoken rules regarding those who had been captured before.
If they successfully captured Troy this time, she decided to give Major Yan He a few extra commendations in her report.
Traveling from the capital planet to the Blue Cloud star system via public transport takes nearly two months. Besides the inherent speed limitations, public flights make numerous stops along the way. Some major stops can last a day or two.
In comparison, private spacecraft are much faster.
The Allison Corporation’s private ship took less than three weeks to reach the Blue Cloud star system. Before arriving at the intended destination, the ship made a stop.
The atmosphere in the government ship closely trailing behind was tense.
“A barge has been released,” a technician reported.
“What’s the predicted target based on the trajectory?” asked the woman in the black suit.
“It’s this orange-red planet, a level-three civilization, called…” the technician paused, “Yunxia Star!”
“Good,” the woman commanded, “Special Ops team, move out. It’s time to reel them in!”
Their ship also released small, short-range vessels that were much faster than Allison’s. They had already predicted the docking area Allison’s ship would head to using flight path simulations and planned to arrive there first.
Major Yan He, like the other team members, was already suited up in light combat armor, ready to move.
However, Yan’s grip on his gun was tighter than the others’, and while the gloves hid it, his knuckles were white from the pressure.
Sorry, Jiang.
He whispered in his mind.
Allison’s small vessel landed in a docking area on the planet, disembarking a woman who was still fully covered in a hat, mask, and cloak. Her steps were light and cheerful, suggesting she was in a very good mood.
She took a shuttle from the docking area to the terminal, searched the crowd for a moment, and found her contact—a tall, thin young man.
She became excited, running towards the young man. He noticed her, broke into a big smile, and ran towards her too.
Just as they were about to reunite and embrace, dozens of agents in light combat armor descended from the ceiling, capturing them on the spot and pinning them to the ground!
“Don’t move!” they shouted.
The surrounding crowd retreated in panic, instantly creating a large empty space in the terminal.
One of the agents quickly pulled out a tubular device from his waist and injected the young man. He yelped in pain!
The military-grade genetic detector provided results within thirty seconds.
“Negative! He isn’t the one!” the agent reported disappointedly.
Everyone froze.
Suddenly, an agent retracted his visor, revealing a handsome, rugged face. It was none other than Major Yan He, who had been granted permission to join the capture mission. He removed his gloves and tossed them aside, striding forward to pull the woman up from the ground.
Her hat had fallen off, revealing long, black hair. She had been too terrified to speak since being pinned down.
Major Yan He yanked off her mask!
…
A fairly pretty, young, East Asian face, but… not Jiang Miao.
Time rewinds to a month earlier. Jiang Miao returned to her workplace and donned a virtual helmet.
“Minhe, I need your help!”
“I must evade all surveillance, overt and covert!”
“I must find Ruirui!”
“I must!”
