"I know he is too."  

Axiu went to greet Mu Haichao, then took me back to the base to change clothes and get ready to go out. 

He kept adjusting his collar and the hem of his clothes, visibly nervous. A small tuft of hair on his head was even sticking up, but he didn't notice. He turned to me and asked if he looked okay. 

Mu Haichao had prepared a uniform for him at the base, navy blue with a large lapel and double rows of gold buttons. It was stiff and creased, almost identical to the military uniform worn by Bu Huaiyuan when he was a marshal, except for the missing gold shoulder epaulets and chest badge. The shirt he wore underneath was meticulously buttoned up to cover the collar of his neck ring. 

The uniform was tailored to accentuate his waist and long legs, with a small fringe hanging from the chest that swayed slightly as he turned. 

He hadn't worn clothes like this in a long time, and he was a bit stiff. I sat on the bed and asked him to come over, and he almost stumbled over. 

I asked Axiu to bend down and helped him smooth out the tuft of hair on his head, sincerely complimenting him, "You look really good."  

"Really?" He turned to look in the mirror, but I pulled him back. 

"Really," I said, "Mr. Harris will be very happy to see you like this."  

Axiu was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly, "Back when I was in military school, Mr. Harris took care of me a lot. I wouldn't have been able to succeed in the military without his influence. He always hoped that I could help the empire become stronger, but. . ."  

However, Bu Huaiyuan was completely unable to deal with the cunning tactics of politicians. 

I comforted him and patted him on the back, saying, "But what buts? Haven't you already done it? You haven't forgotten how many battles the Empire won during that time, have you?" 

He grasped my hand in return and murmured softly. 

Going to the Spiral Tower was the same process as before. I was eager to have Axiu take me there in a mecha, but he said it would be too conspicuous, and he no longer had flight clearance - he used to have it, but who would have thought that "Bu Huaiyuan" would become a martyr. 

The Spiral Tower was surprisingly lively today. As I walked by, I saw a large screen hanging in the air, scrolling through news about the "West Harbor Street Explosion."  The host held a microphone and said that the military had taken full control of the scene because it was in a remote location and no one was injured. 

"What about Gao Qingping?" I suddenly remembered that I hadn't asked Mu Haichao how he planned to deal with him. 

Axiu led me to avoid the crowd as much as possible and headed towards the floating ladder. When he heard my question, he stopped in his tracks and said, "He's been taken to the interrogation room. . . Ah Chao needs to get some information out of him, and there's some follow-up work to be done. . ."  

He turned to me and asked, "Do you want to go see him?" 

I nodded without hesitation, and he sighed lightly, seeming reluctant to let me have contact with Gao Qingping again. 

"He must pay a price," I emphasized. Axiu might want to brush this matter aside and let Gao Qingping be punished by the law in the end, but I was far from as kind-hearted as he was. Axiu sighed again, "Fine. . . but not now. After A Chao finishes everything, I'll take you to the interrogation room." 

I agreed, and he patted my head. 

After iris verification at the entrance, Axiu pulled me into the floating elevator.
