As an outstanding 3S-class mecha soldier and a member of the main family, Yamamiya Yangling’s influence within the Yamamiya family is self-evident.

Only she meets all the criteria.

“If so, Yamamiya Yangling is also part of the Independent Army,” Huo Xuanshan mused.

“Why didn’t Master Yu persuade Ying Xingjue to join the Independent Army?” Wei San asked Jin Ke. “He is a Super 3S level commander.”

“Simple, he’s the target.” Jin Ke said without any surprise, “When Ying Youjin suddenly betrayed us, a lot of attention was focused on the Ying family. Nobody expected that the Ying family could produce an even stronger Ying Xingjue. The high-ranking officials in the First District will definitely not allow the same thing to happen again. They have planted countless people around him. If the Independent Army tries to win over Ying Xingjue, they will undoubtedly expose themselves.”

The most crucial point was that Yamamiya Yangling was an infiltrated Independent Army member. She was able to know from the beginning what a super 3S level would attract. The Ying family had already severed all contact with Ying Youjin. From the day Ying Xingjue’s super-high perception was detected, he was a living target.

“Then who deliberately framed my cousin?” Ying Chenghe asked. “It can’t really be that several military academies conspired to drag a Super 3S down with them.”

“Unsure. This doesn’t make sense from any angle.” Jin Ke couldn’t figure it out either. Why did it have to be Ying Xingjue, and why did it have to be the infected Takeshi Kosakai? This whole thing was strange from beginning to end.

“Since Ying Xingjue isn’t participating this time, he will have time to investigate.” Wei San leaned back in her chair, twirling the pen between her fingers. “With his abilities, he should be able to find out.”

When the investigation was mentioned, Jin Ke remembered something. He turned on his personal computer, slid his finger forward, and the light screen immediately projected in front of the conference table.

“We had someone investigate those who drank the nutrient solution near star 3212’s junkyard.” Jin Ke gestured for them to look at the light screen. “There were a total of 83 people. According to Wei San’s age at the time, there were 69 adults and 14 minors. So far, only seventeen people are still alive.”

“Seventeen people?” Huo Xuanshan stood up straight upon hearing this.

“Among these seventeen people is Wei San.” Jin Ke continued scrolling up and stopped at a statistical table. “These are the people who have lived near the landfill over the years. Due to environmental factors, the survival rate of people in this area is not high. I have compiled the data for the past ten years, and the mortality rate has remained within a reasonable range.”

“What was the cause of death?” Wei San asked him.

“Most of them are various illnesses caused by malnutrition.” Jin Ke looked at the data on the screen. “A minority group died from infections caused by wounds from fights.”

“So you’re sure there’s nothing wrong with that batch of discarded nutrient solutions?” Ying Chenghe asked.

Jin Ke shook his head and slid out another statistical table: “This is the mortality rate in the year the nutrient solution was discarded, which doubled. In the following years, there was no such nutrient solution, so the data returned to normal. It’s normal fluctuations when we calculate it together.”

“All of them were malnourished?” Wei San frowned as she looked at the cause of death statistics below. “I didn’t feel anything when I drank it.”

“I’m more inclined to believe that there was something wrong with that batch of nutrient solution, and no one in the Ying family noticed it at the time,” Jin Ke said, looking at the light screen. “However, there’s no evidence.”

“Actually……” Wei San hesitated for a long time before saying, “I left one vial of nutrient solution.”
