Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 229 Escape

The sudden departure of the Star Ring quickly alerted the fleet guarding the outer perimeter of the encirclement.

"Why did the representatives from Xinghuan Group suddenly leave? It's not time yet. Didn't those two women apply to their superiors for more than an hour? It's only been less than 40 minutes. Didn't they even say goodbye before leaving?"

"Look! What is the Star Ring doing? It's accelerating! It's about to enter warp drive!"

"Quickly, drones! Stop that ship! It's trying to escape!"

The fleet quickly realized that something seemed amiss, but the warships were simply too large, making it extremely difficult to turn around.

So, left with no other option, they had to first send out interceptor drones to pursue the other side.

But how could that possibly be intercepted?

The Star Ring is equipped with a warp drive engine, and to ensure sufficient speed, it is not even fitted with any weapon modules.

For a spaceship like this, at the speed of an interceptor, to catch up with the other side is simply a pipe dream.

"Damn it, we've been tricked! Those two women are still on the Gravitation. They're Wade's accomplices, they came here specifically to rescue that guy Wade!"

After figuring out the whole story, the fleet soldiers felt a disgusting sensation, as if they had swallowed a fly.

It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

Who could have imagined this would happen?

Wade has long been on the opposite side of all humanity, and both humans and the Trisolarans want to kill each other.

Their emergency plan didn't even consider the possibility that this guy might have teammates.

However, Star Ring Group slapped them all in the face, making them suddenly realize, "Holy crap, Wade really does have teammates."

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that Star Ring Group was originally a company founded by Wade, and it makes perfect sense that Cheng Xin and Ai AA would come to rescue Wade!

"Let's forget about Wade for now. At the speed of the Star Ring, as long as Wade doesn't want us to catch up with him, no matter how many people we send, we won't be able to catch up with the Star Ring in warp drive mode."

Ralph gritted his teeth and pointed at the Gravitational, which was still stationary.

"Arrest these two human traitors first. I want to interrogate these two women myself later to find out what they're thinking."

This is a question that not only Ralph wants to ask, but also that AiAA wants to ask Cheng Xin.

She had no idea that Cheng Xin had let Wade go. Just now, when she saw Wade leave with them to the berth, she thought he was there to see them off.

And lo and behold, the clown turned out to be himself.

Wade turned around and ran away with the Star Ring, leaving the two of them standing there dumbfounded.

Even Ai AA, who always prided herself on understanding Cheng Xin, couldn't help but complain at this moment.

"Cheng Xin, what are you trying to do? How did you let that guy Wade get away so suddenly?"

As she spoke, she stomped her foot in annoyance and paced back and forth in the berth.

"You're really outrageous, my dear lady! Do you know how many years we'll be in jail if you let Wade go? Probably until the beginning of the next century!"

Cheng Xin remained unmoved upon hearing this, her attention seemingly completely drawn to the memory that Wade had just given her.

"Hey, Miss, are you even listening to me?"

Just as A.A. was somewhat speechless, a piercing alarm suddenly rang out throughout the entire Gravitational.

"Cheng Xin, Zhi Zi wants to see you."
