After returning home, Shao Qingge found an extremely large suitcase and arranged the coins from the safe in the same order inside. He then filled the empty spaces with sheets of white paper of similar thickness.
He then applied for a transit visa to leave Capital Star.
As the owner of Noah Company, Shao Qingge has frequently traveled to various countries for business over the years. Nowadays, visa approvals are all done by artificial intelligence to verify documents, and his visa was approved in less than an hour. As his adopted son, "Shao Ye Qi " directly used a family member travel visa.
Shao Qingge's destination this time was the Azure Empire in the Aquarius star system, and the reason for the trip was travel.
After obtaining the visa, Shao Qingge went to the official website to book tickets.
Tomorrow at 3 PM, there's an interstellar passenger ship departing from Capital Star, passing through two star systems, and arriving in the Blue Star Region after 36 hours. Regular economy class tickets are sold out, but there are still luxury suite tickets available.
Shao Qingge simply bought a ticket for a luxury suite on the ship.
After completing all the preparations, he sent a message to Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan respectively: "We will take off at 3 pm sharp tomorrow. I will drive Peach Blossom Spring to pick you up before takeoff. Please make sure you are ready."
Yu Hanjiang replied, "I know."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi quickly packed their luggage, which included a box of star coins, a box of changes of clothes, and a box of compressed food.
Actually, the spaceship provides food, and you can buy anything with money. But after experiencing so many locked-room mysteries, they're terrified of the Ace of Spades. In the previous sea instance, the Ace of Spades caused food poisoning on everyone on the cruise ship, leaving them vomiting, having diarrhea, and dehydration. They're not sure they'd dare eat anything on the spaceship this time; it's safer to bring their own.
So the next day at noon, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi arrived at the space station with three huge suitcases.
There were quite a few people waiting for security checks, and everyone sat in the waiting hall in an orderly manner.
Students across the empire are currently on summer vacation, and among the waiting crowd at the airport are many young people who look like students, presumably traveling. Ye Qi, following behind Shao Qingge, unexpectedly ran into his roommate from Ninth Military Academy, Liu Jian.
My roommate is over 1.8 meters tall. After changing out of his military uniform, he was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, making him quite conspicuous in the crowd. Ye Qi tried to hide behind him, but the other person excitedly ran over: " Ye Qi? What a coincidence! You're also on the space station? Where are you going?"
Ye Qi could only force a bright smile and pretend to be relaxed: "I'm going on a trip with my dad."
Liu Jian looked on with envy: "Your dad is so nice, he even accompanied you! Unlike me, my parents don't care about me and let me go out to play by myself."
After saying that, he looked around and asked, "Where's your father?"
Standing next to Ye Qi, the young man wearing sunglasses slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Hello, thank you for taking care of my daughter Ye during her time at school."
Liu Jian's eyes widened: "This, this... Mr. Shao? You're too young..."
Shao Qingge didn't explain, but gently grasped Ye Qi's wrist and said, "It's time to board. Let's go and say goodbye to our classmates."
Ye Qi waved to the classmate and then followed Shao Qingge to the VIP security checkpoint to queue up.
Shao Qingge lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Are you close to this roommate of yours?"
Ye Qi nodded: "That's good. I remember we often went to class together, and his parents seem to be soldiers. As for whether there are any clues about him, I'll think about it more carefully later."
Shao Qingge gave a faint "hmm" and walked into the security checkpoint.
Both sides were scanned by something resembling an infrared scanner. Three suitcases were placed on the conveyor belt in the security checkpoint. The security staff could see the contents of the suitcases through X-ray vision. A strange look appeared on the faces of the men—a large suitcase of cash and a large suitcase of compressed food. What were these two doing?
It looks like they just robbed a bank!
The woman at the exit carefully checked Shao Qingge's ID card and pass, and Shao Qingge also removed his ink.
The mirror cooperated perfectly. After repeatedly confirming that there were no problems with the face, the staff finally let them through. Everyone concluded that carrying cash on trips is probably a quirk of wealthy people.
The two boarded the interstellar passenger spaceship with their luggage.
Ye Qi muttered to himself, "This check feels even stricter than at the airport. Without a permit, we definitely can't leave... Ninth Brother and the others are probably using the military's dedicated space station and landing pad, which might be even stricter there?"
Shao Qingge shrugged: "Of course, if the general could just run away in his warship at any time, it would be chaos. Those two definitely can't get out; we'll have to pull them into the spaceship. Lock the door later, and don't open it for anyone during interstellar travel."
Ye Qi nodded seriously.
After the two boarded the interstellar passenger ship, they went to the VIP luxury cabin according to the number on their tickets.
The cabin is over 100 square meters in size and is a family suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The ticket price is obviously outrageously expensive, but for the convenience of his teammates, Shao Qingge booked this spacious suite without hesitation. Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh that it's great to have a big sponsor; you never have to worry about money when traveling.
After entering the room, Shao Qingge drew all the curtains and locked the door from the inside.
Then he summoned Tao Yuanming and activated the skill The Peach Blossom Spring.
Before long, several familiar figures appeared under the peach tree.
Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci were both dressed casually, clearly having made preparations in advance.
Yu Hanjiang was wearing a Royal Guard uniform, while Xiao Lou was wearing casual clothes. The two must have been brought in at Gemini Palace. Yu Hanjiang had no other clothes, so he could only wear these.
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue stayed on Capital Star as agreed and did not accept the teleportation.
Seeing that his teammates had all arrived, Shao Qingge breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Taking the prince to escape, I feel like we've gone too far this time. What if His Majesty finds out and intercepts us halfway?"
Xiao Lou remained calm: "He probably wouldn't expect us to be able to teleport away, and he wouldn't suspect CEO Shao either."
Shao Qingge nodded and looked at Yu Hanjiang: "I brought a change of clothes. Captain Yu, change into something later. You're too eye-catching in this outfit."
Yu Hanjiang did not object. Shao Qingge was about the same size as him, so the clothes should fit.
After the six of them left Peach Blossom Spring, they saw the deluxe suite that Shao Qingge had booked, with a living room, dining room, kitchenette, and three bedrooms, just like a hotel presidential suite. Lu Jiuchuan joked, "It's good to be rich. I'm prepared for everyone to be crammed into one cabin for 36 hours... Traveling on a starship with CEO Shao has become a kind of enjoyment."
He sat down on the sofa, casually crossing his long legs, and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Xiao Lou said, "I need to find a way to see my sister."
Yu Hanjiang objected: "The princess's stance is still unclear, and I don't want you to take any risks."
Xiao Lou thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's investigate the clues on Azure Planet first, and then try to get to Hilt No Mans Land to see if we can help Ninth Brother and Mr. Tang regain their memories..."
Just then, a gentle voice rang in everyone's ears: "Dear passengers, the KS-7391 interplanetary passenger spaceship bound for Azure Planet is about to take off. Please return to your seats and put on your safety helmets..."
Everyone cooperated and sat in the car seats.
After a period of turbulence, the spaceship soared into the sky, breaking free from Capital Star's gravity and entering the vast expanse of space. Xiao Lou pulled back a corner of the curtain and looked out. The boundless cosmos stretched out before her, and Capital Star grew smaller and smaller, farther and farther away in her field of vision…
He finally escaped the palace.
The question remains: what awaits them on this interstellar voyage?
I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of Spade Secret Room?
