Inside was a news article.
It was about Gu Yunyang being expelled from the Gu family. Ji Zhaoming scrolled down the information.
[Was Gu Yunyang's expulsion from the Gu family in the early hours of the morning related to Gu Yunzhou's return to the Imperial Star?]
[Shocking! The commander's rage for a woman was actually for...]
[Breaking News! The reason Gu Yunyang was expelled from the Gu family is actually because...]
[Let's have a rational discussion. Has the Imperial Star made such a big move in a long time? Is the Commander about to get to work?]
[My uncle's nephew's classmate's husband's colleague works at the commander's mansion. I heard it's because Gu Yunyang was planning to assassinate the city lord.]
Ji Zhaoming's naming of the "Garbage Star" doesn't mean that others would dare to use the term "Garbage Star."
They used to mock "Garbage Planet," but after it was officially named, they began to feel uneasy, wondering what they were thinking when they casually used that term to describe it.
In particular, Ji Zhaoming's first destination was the Imperial Star.
It's worth noting that this term was first coined by the Emperor Star.
Fearing that they might give Ji Zhaoming a bad impression, the people of the Imperial Star simply referred to him as "that city lord."
In a sense, it can also be considered a form of repentance.
Ji Zhaoming quickly finished scanning, and just as he was about to close it, another message suddenly popped up on the StarNet.
[You're all talking about the Commander and Gu Yunzhou, but I'm just asking, doesn't Gu He have any pride?]
Gu He naturally saw the message as well, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's all Gu Yunzhou's fault!"
If Gu Yunzhou hadn't wanted to be alone with Ji Zhaoming and sent him away, he wouldn't have known everything by the time the matter was resolved.
Ji Zhaoming turned off the personal computer, put his hand back near the fire, and comfortably squinted his eyes.
The commander thought Ji Zhaoming would say something after seeing the notification, but he said nothing.
This made the commander's heart pound with anxiety, and he began to wonder if Ji Zhaoming was dissatisfied.
He pointed towards the quantum computer and said, "Did you see the processing results?"
“I saw it,” Ji Zhaoming replied.
commander:"……"
Commander: "Don't you want to say anything?"
"Oh." Ji Zhaoming suddenly realized, but then he tilted his head, looked at the commander with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Did you come here today to tell me the results of the investigation?"
Of course not.
The commander said, "I made a mistake. I've come here to apologize."
What happened on StarNet is just a consequence of what happened yesterday.
The commander said, "I don't know what you want, so..."
He took a piece of paper from his pocket, pushed it in front of Ji Zhaoming, and said, "How about this?"
A thin piece of paper with a few short lines of text written on it.
Ji Zhaoming took it, then immediately stopped moving.
The above section describes the nutrient solution formula and some methods for suppressing the APLHA riots. The next section only outlines a few ideas and is not detailed.
Ji Zhaoming said solemnly, "This is indeed what we need."
Junk planets are resource-poor and far from the host planet, making transportation inconvenient. As a result, even cheap nutrient solutions can still fetch a certain price on junk planets.
Gu Yunzhou also sent people to develop new nutrient solutions, but equipment, starships, and other things were all burning through money, and progress was slow.
As for the suppression of the riots, the commander must have anticipated that the Junk Planet would take this as its main route, which is why he gave them this piece of paper. Although there aren't many methods on it, it's enough to save the Junk Planet from taking many detours.
Ji Zhaoming asked, "What do you want?"
Ji Zhaoming didn't believe that someone would be so kind for no reason, especially since the commander was different from Gu Yunzhou and Gu He.
Gu Yunzhou and Gu He are self-sufficient and have no worries about their families. Even if Gu He gave the position of Bounty Hunter Master to Ji Zhaoming, no one would say anything. But the Commander is different. He has the entire Imperial Star behind him.
The release of these items must have been with the consent of other people on the Imperial Star.
Ji Zhaoming said, "I am just a minor city lord on a garbage planet. You have given me such a valuable gift. I am afraid I cannot repay it."
He ran his fingers across the white paper a few times, then put it back on the table and pushed it toward the commander.
He was stopped by the commander halfway through his action.
The commander said, "I can repay you. I need your help. The Imperial Star has been decaying for too long and needs a great baptism."
The commander said, "I'd like to borrow Gu Yunzhou and Gu He from you."
Ji Zhaoming chuckled: "Strange, I've only been the city lord for a short time, and you're already asking me to borrow Gu Yunzhou and Gu He. Weren't they free men before?"
The commander was also a little embarrassed.
Gu Yunzhou was driven away from the Imperial Star, so of course he wouldn't invite Gu Yunzhou. Besides, he had extended an olive branch to Gu Yunzhou a long time ago, but Gu Yunzhou had no interest in that and refused.
The commander certainly wouldn't have the nerve to ask a second time.
As for Gu He, the commander had never worked with Gu He, but he had seen Gu He in person. After all, Gu He looked thin and weak, and the commander was afraid that Gu He's hand would be broken before he even raised it. In addition, Gu He was not the 0001 bounty hunter at the time. After thinking for a long time, the commander still ruled out Gu He.
Most importantly, Gu He is from the Garbage Planet.
The commander was unsure whether Gu He would reveal this matter.
It's worth noting that Imperial Stars have historically had a poor attitude towards Garbage Stars.
The commander said awkwardly, "I did misunderstand before, so I came here today to apologize."
Ji Zhaoming gave the commander another strange look.
Logically speaking, the commander is one of the top figures on the Imperial Star, so there's no reason for him to be so obsequious. This makes things seem very suspicious.
Ji Zhaoming glanced at Gu Yunzhou and pondered, "They are free. I can't make the decision on this. They have to agree to it."
Gu Yunzhou was a tough nut to crack. The commander turned his gaze to Gu He and asked, "You...?"
Normally, Gu He would have started babbling on and on.
But at this moment, he just smiled and said, "Since you invited two people, you can't just ask me without showing favoritism, right? After all, Gu Yunzhou seems to be very petty."
The ball was kicked back and forth, but finally it reached Gu Yunzhou's feet.
The commander gritted his teeth and said, "The garbage planet was only recently registered, so there are probably many planets that don't recognize it."
Ji Zhaoming could not deny this point. Even though he served as the city lord of the garbage planet as an omega, most planets secretly harbored the idea of simply taking the omega back.
Without Ji Zhaoming, how can the garbage planet survive?
They only refrained from taking action because of Gu Yunzhou and Gu He.
However, everyone knows that this is just waiting for the first person to test the waters.
The commander said, "I can have the Imperial Star issue a statement recognizing the legal status of the garbage planet."
With the imperial planet taking the lead, the remaining planets will have to think twice about their actions.
Gu Yunzhou then relented: "Okay, if you need any help, you can let me know via your personal terminal."
He gave the commander a private connection to communicate through the garbage planet's network, free from the monitoring of the Imperial Star's main system.
Upon receiving a definite answer, the commander breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his temples and jokingly said, "I really went to great lengths for this deal."
You should know that he originally intended to play that deal as a trump card, but he ended up losing a lot of money in the process.
Gu Yunzhou, in particular, seemed to be far removed from politics when he was in the Imperial Star, but when it came to negotiations, he was surprisingly shrewd and resourceful.
Gu Yunzhou chuckled softly, looking at Ji Zhaoming with gentle eyes: "After all, we need to save up."
Since the position of Lord of Garbage Star City belongs to Ji Zhaoming, he naturally wants Ji Zhaoming to have the best things in the world.
He couldn't help but want to give all the good things to Ji Zhaoming.

Chapter 56
<Selling out the city lord>
After exchanging contact information, Ji Zhaoming asked, "Do you have a specific plan?"
The commander pondered for a moment and said, "I have a plan. The Gu family has been trying to seize power over the Imperial Star for a long time. As far as I know, they have been using marriage alliances to distribute people in various places to collect intelligence. Moreover, I heard that the Gu family even sent people to the Imperial Star to capture you?"
He only discovered this yesterday after investigating, so it's no wonder Gu Yunyang is so resentful.
Ji Zhaoming crossed his hands on his lap and leaned back: "That's true."
"This matter was a private collaboration between the Gu family and the Pei family, and it is not protected by the laws of the Imperial Star."
It's fortunate that the victim was Ji Zhaoming, so there were clues to follow. If it were someone else, they would probably have disappeared silently on the garbage planet, making it impossible to investigate.
“But we mustn’t alert them,” the commander said. “I think we should start by investigating the place where Gu Yunzhou’s parents died.”
Gu Yunyang may be arrogant, but he would never make things up out of thin air, especially since he spoke with such certainty. He must have heard some news before he made these remarks.
We'll start by investigating the cause of Gu Yunzhou's parents' deaths, then follow the clues to the people who cooperated and arbitrarily captured the garbage planet. We might even uncover something big.
After all, the Gu family has never been one to submit.
They've had their glorious moments, so they're even more unwilling to settle for the ordinary life they have now.
There have been a lot of leaks about the Imperial Star recently. Even if the Commander doesn't want to think this way, he can't help but suspect that there is a traitor on the Imperial Star.
However, the Imperial Star had long been in chaos, so it was not surprising that a traitor had emerged who collaborated with foreign enemies.
The commander looked at Gu Yunzhou and asked, "Is it alright?"
The most reasonable course of action would be for Gu Yunzhou to personally intervene in this matter.
Gu Yunzhou tapped his fingers on the table, looked down at the table, and after a long while said, "Okay."
The commander finally felt relieved and said, "Then I'll bring Gu Yunyang over as a witness for you."
"good."
Gu He tapped the table impatiently: "The matter is over, can you go back now? Wang Qi hasn't had breakfast yet."
