"Are you this busy lately, Boss Lin."

Catherine listened to Yang Ming's complaints and couldn't help but chuckle, then soothingly coaxed him a bit.

She was really busy, and not only busy, but also under enormous pressure.

After all, plotting a rebellion was no small matter.

However, Catherine didn't mention much of this, even during their exclusive encrypted communication, she maintained the highest level of discipline.

"Do you need manpower over there?" Catherine asked with concern, "I just learned you retaliated against the New Federation CIA, you could have taken me with you, or called Bryant to help; he's relatively free now, given that the higher-ups have to follow his advice."

—Bryant manipulated the Supermodified Organization and continued to expand his 'control network' outward.

Yang Ming laughed, "You just focus on your own proper business, nothing much on my side, the CIA is easy to retaliate against, but those nobles who ordered civilians to be shelled are harder to deal with, the Noble Court implied that I shouldn't pursue this matter."

"Noble Court?"

Catherine's expression became serious immediately:

"I did hear that before the gas bomb explosion, Daphne's comprehensive transport ship suddenly opened fire on the venue, and it was a full barrage."

"Yes," Yang Ming said, "They are trying to use the New Federation CIA's terrorist attack to cover up the nobles' dirty deeds."

"What do you plan to do?" Catherine asked softly.

"On my turf, touching my people and ruining my matters, do they think they can walk away scot-free?"

Yang Ming sneered:

"Right now, I'm just having my assistant gather evidence, look for who's behind those officers, and only then can we go after them.

"These nobles are really itching for it.

"This is also related to me, last time I just had Prince Kinov compensate some resources, which made the nobles think the blade in my hand isn't as sharp anymore."

Catherine lightly hummed, "Why don't you give me a list, I'll take care of them for you in secret, I do have some friends here who can do dirty work."

"You?" Yang Ming blinked, "You already have your own assassin organization now?"

Catherine smiled and didn't say anything.

She also needed to seek progress after all.

After all, she was about to become the leader of the rebellion.

"Also, I've prepared a batch of new type mechanical viruses," Catherine said, "I've already arranged enough insiders in the Empire's largest Mechanical Guard end-stage assembly plant, soon I'll have a batch of forces... For now, um, I might need a bit of your help."

Yang Ming laughed, "Just tell me."

"We lack talent in Intelligent Machines," Catherine said, "We're not very good at operating Intelligent Machines, and such experts are relatively scarce within the Empire, the forces we're covertly cooperating with tried to send relevant specialists, but for such an important matter, I definitely can't relinquish control of the Mechanical Army Corps."

Yang Ming pondered carefully for a moment.

Lyu promptly sent a text prompt.

"Catherine, do you trust me this much?"

"Yes," Catherine nodded, "Unconditionally trust, and you're my biggest investor, like a mentor to the core group of our organization."

Yang Ming:...

Couldn't make it as a husband but ended up as a mentor.

Yang Ming chuckled, "Do you mind Intelligent Machines?"

"What?"

"I mean, semi-autonomous intelligent machines."

Yang Ming spoke slowly:

"I have a team working on this area of research, and I can send you two Intelligent Machine experts who are themselves Intelligent Machines, no one knows better than them how to operate the Mechanical Army, and they are absolutely loyal to me, with no risk of betrayal.

"Like this, I know you don't have much of a concept about what I'm saying, give me a location, I'll let them go over and contact you."

Catherine frowned, "You're developing Intelligent Machines?"

Yang Ming laughed, "Don't worry, it doesn't pose any crisis, and like you, my team is short of talent."

"Alright... Aren't you afraid the data they carry might leak your secrets?"

"I'll give them special processing, allowing them to maintain professional skills and loyalty to me, but remove some sensitive memory data," Yang Ming said, "This isn't a troublesome task, nor would it lead to any repercussions, you can just use them with confidence, once you find suitable human talents, I'll retract them."

Catherine hummed a few times and soon nodded in agreement.

She and Yang Ming chatted for a few more words before hastily ending the communication, seemingly having to attend several secret meetings.

Facing the empty living room, Yang Ming clicked his tongue lightly.

"Boss, three excellent Intelligent Machine experts have been selected, they can soon be dispatched from Dark Star Base Two," Lyu asked softly, "Do we really need to remove some of their memory data?"

"Be on the safe side, the situation is inscrutable now," Yang Ming said, "Even with Catherine, the secrets of Dark Star must be retained, she'll soon be the representative of a faction."

"You seem to have some regretful emotions."

"Catherine is gradually drifting away from me," Yang Ming leaned back on the soft sofa, "I can feel it, she has found something more important than experiencing love, but the two of us should not fall out."

Lyu laughed, "Boss, your relationship with Captain Catherine has already exceeded your average relationship duration."

"Don't want to think about it."

Yang Ming scratched his head, letting his scattered thoughts gather once again.

"Did those officers confess?"

"Not yet, due to military protection regulations, we can't interrogate them directly, only listen in."

"Who's listening in?"

"Han Yin and Han Xiang."
