Xia Chujian had already gone inside and even reached Huo Yushen's Office before Kang Shanxing arrived at the hatch of the Bat-style Fighter Jet.
Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet was a massive craft, as large as a medium-sized city. Its actual size was even greater than that of a Starry Sky Mothership!
It was second only to the newly built Star Destroyer.
After entering through the hatch, one still had to go through nine procedures, pass nine checkpoints, take various elevators, and follow winding, labyrinthine routes that could make a person dizzy before reaching the floor where Huo Yushen, the fighter jet's owner, was located.
While Kang Shanxing was passing through those checkpoints, Xia Chujian had already received green lights all the way and arrived directly outside Huo Yushen's Office.
Because the moment she entered, she received a message from Huo Yushen, who had sent a special marker to her Mecha.
With that special marker, it was as if she had been recognized by the Mechanical Intelligence of this Bat-style Fighter Jet and granted the highest authority, allowing her to move through this massive fighter jet, which resembled a medium-sized city, without obstruction.
That was why Xia Chujian got in far faster than Kang Shanxing.
By the time she sat before Huo Yushen, Kang Shanxing had only passed the second checkpoint...
Naturally, Xia Chujian had no energy left to pay attention to Kang Shanxing's movements.
She only asked quickly and anxiously, "Marshal Huo, do you know... why the Emperor arrested my aunt?!"
Huo Yushen's voice was as cool and restrained as ever.
He said, "One possible reason for arresting your aunt is her genetic research. Another may be because of you."
"For now, we won't discuss that."
Xia Chujian grew anxious. "How can we not discuss it?!"
"That's my aunt!"
