Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 751

Chapter 747, Finding Someone to Take the Blame

Gu Hang hadn’t wanted to take direct action, but he had no other choice.

He had come to personally participate, originally intending to confirm the intelligence.

However, the Dark Eldar’s camouflage techniques were truly remarkable, requiring a psychic of his caliber to be so close to penetrate them.

This technique must be state-of-the-art for the Dark Eldar; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so effective.

And not every Dark Eldar sleeper possesses this skill or a similar level of skill. Otherwise, the group causing trouble in the Spider Web Realm wouldn’t have been so easily apprehended by the Order of the Exorcist.

However, precisely because they were so close, the Dark Eldar sleeper realized they had been discovered.

He immediately attempted to flee.

Gu Hang had no choice but to apprehend him.

Only Gu Hang could do this.

A Dark Eldar sleeper of this caliber was incredibly skilled. A normal agent wouldn’t have been able to apprehend him. Their direct combat capabilities alone were comparable to those of a Space Marine company champion, not to mention their specialized techniques of concealment, escape, and mind control.

To quickly and quietly eliminate their targets, Gu Hang was truly the one who had to take charge.

And once they did, it was best to go all out and completely resolve the situation.

This was why Gu Hang personally led the assault on Yu Jinwen’s residence.

With no further scruples, they captured everyone in one fell swoop. While

the Foreign Affairs Bureau agents focused on capturing Yu Jinwen himself, Gu Hang went on a scramble, rounding up all the sleeper stalkers.

The results were undeniable: Gu Hang apprehended a total of seventeen Dark Eldar sleeper stalkers, all of whom served as senior staff members of the High Lord’s residence.

This was the core reason Gu Hang dared to act.

What was the Foreign Affairs Bureau? It was the Alliance’s intelligence arm, subordinate to the Alliance Ambassador and stationed on Holy Terra. Their mere intelligence gathering was already somewhat over the line. They were merely collecting publicly available intelligence, conducting some analysis, and keeping tabs on people. They didn’t actually cross the line, rarely planting spies, and instead infiltrating other factions. This was how they could barely survive, allowing others to turn a blind eye.

On Holy Terra, what law enforcement authority did they have?

Attacking an ordinary person was unlawful, let alone raiding the residence of a High Lord representative and arresting him.

If word got out, it would surely cause a huge uproar.

Even for legitimate reasons, trolling a High Lord representative without law enforcement authority was utterly treasonous and politically risky.

Gu Hang acted this way because, on the one hand, he was cornered. He couldn’t let those highly elusive Dark Eldar sleepers escape while they were already aware of him.

On the other hand, he had some recourse.

He lacked law enforcement authority, but others did.

The Ministry of Justice, the Inquisition, both are fine.

The former is not easy to ask, because the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice is an acting one, and he is completely Qi Bodu’s man. He has not even entered the High Lords Council, and he can’t handle the problem there.

The Inquisition can handle it, especially the professional counterparts of the Anti-foreign Order, which is the most suitable for this matter. Moreover, Gu Hang’s relationship with them is the best among the three major Inquisition factions.

However, Gu Hang thought about it and still did not ask them for help.

The relationship is good, but it is obviously not good enough to become “one of our own”. Will the Inquisition be willing to help Gu Hang take the blame for “illegal attack on the High Lord”?

It’s difficult.

This was extremely offensive.

Even if they were willing, it would still be a huge political lever that the Inquisition had seized upon. Gu Hang didn’t know how much he would have to pay, or how much he would have to give up, to satisfy the Inquisition’s appetite.

In this regard, having a good relationship only gave him a threshold to connect with others. Anyone else wouldn’t even be able to cross this threshold.

The Inquisition could only be a backup.

Besides the Inquisition and the Ministry of Justice, there was a most suitable person to take the blame – the Imperial Guard.

These corn spirits were the toughest. They could handle any culprit, no matter how big it was, and they weren’t afraid of anyone causing trouble – no one dared to.

If they were somewhere else, Gu Hang wouldn’t be able to find them. The Imperial Guard had no interest in matters outside the Imperial Palace.

But as the representative of the High Lord, Yu Jinwen lived within the Imperial Palace.

Logically, the entire security of the Imperial Palace was the responsibility of the Imperial Guard. So, the appearance of an alien lurker here was the responsibility of the Imperial Guard, and no one could argue with that.

In fact, to a certain extent, they were responsible.

It was just that no one dared to pursue the issue.

However, after Gu Hang’s previous conversation with Marshal Yan Xinzhen, he realized that this commander of the Imperial Guards, who had lived for who knows how many years, was a man of great integrity, not one to shirk responsibility.

After thinking it over, he made a quick decision and contacted the Imperial Guards.

Yan Xinzhen had left him a dedicated communication device.

After dialing the line, a few simple words were exchanged, and the conversation between Gu Hang and Yan Xinzhen ended.

A moment later, a golden light appeared on the horizon.

Over twenty Imperial Guards, aboard hovercrafts and tactical hoverbikes, quickly arrived at the scene.

Under Gu Hang’s instructions, the Foreign Affairs Bureau agents had already made way, refusing to interact with the Imperial Guards. After confirming that the Imperial Guards had taken control of the entire mansion, including all the prisoners, and that no one was bothering them, the agents quietly withdrew.

Only Gu Hang remained to greet the Imperial Guards.

This group of corn spirits did not make things difficult for Gu Hang.

Two imperial guards came over, one guarded Yu Jinwen, and the other took Gu Hang aside to wait.

Gu Hang was very cooperative.

What he wanted to know, he had already obtained from Yu Jinwen and the minds of those lurkers who were captured and suppressed to the point that they could not even commit suicide. At this time, he did not need to make any extra moves.

The attitude of the imperial guards was also relatively polite. After all, Gu Hang had been invited to be a guest by the marshal not long ago. Even among them, there was information about Gu Hang’s terrifying psychic power. Everyone in the imperial guards was considered a top master. But because of this, they could realize more than ordinary people how terrifying the psychic power represented by Gu Hang was.

The captain of the imperial guards who led the team came to see Gu Hang in person just a little bit late.

Gu Hang could not see his expression under the helmet, but he expected that the other party would not be in a good mood.
