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

Chapter 221 Beware

Despite saying that, Cheng Xin's worried expression remained unchanged as she sipped the tea in her bowl.

This was the third infusion of this pot of tea. The tea leaves had long since been steeped until they were as light as the water, but Cheng Xin still couldn't help but drink it sip by sip to ease her inner anxiety.

Seeing this, Ai AA knew what Cheng Xin was worried about, and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

“Cheng Xin, it’s okay, relax. We still have the Star Ring, which is the fastest warp drive spaceship in human history. If things really get that bad, we can both run away at any time.”

Hearing Ai AA's words, Cheng Xin's worry remained, and her brows furrowed even more.

“It’s because of the Star Ring that I’m worried. AA, besides the two of us, Wade also knows about the Star Ring. That madman has already broadcast to the Trisolaran civilization. He’s completely reckless. I’m worried that he will launch a fierce attack at the last minute and take action against the Star Ring Group.”

Upon hearing this, Ai AA remained silent for two or three seconds before letting out a helpless sigh.

“Cheng Xin, you’re too naive. Wade is definitely not that kind of person.”

Cheng Xin didn't speak, but just stared into Ai AA's eyes, and the meaning was very clear.

Do you understand Wade better than I do?

But upon closer reflection, it seems that AAA has indeed spent more time with Wade than he has.

I joined PIA during the Crisis Era, which was right when the Wallfacer Project was launched. Including the three years that the Ladder Project was implemented, my contact time with Wade was no more than five years at most.

But Ai AA is different. Star Ring Group was founded by Wade, and Ai AA can be considered a founding member of Star Ring Group. When Star Ring Group was first established, the entire company consisted of only Wade and Ai AA.

So compared to her familiarity with Wade, AiAA might actually know some things that Cheng Xin herself doesn't.

"Wade is indeed a madman, but he wouldn't go so far as to target Star Ring Group, because there's no need for it."

"Don't you understand? Wade's goal from beginning to end has been to build the Ring World. Now that the broadcast has been launched, the Ring World has become an unavoidable choice for all mankind. Whether Wade stays or leaves is not important to him at all, because in this play, he is already the winner."

"He has bound all of humanity to his war chariot, leading them down a dark path. If the RimWorld is truly completed, he may even be recorded in history books and remembered for generations. No one will forever be hostile to Vader, so he has no need to run away."

Now, more than two weeks have passed since the broadcast began, and people have long since recovered from the initial panic and hatred towards Wade, and are going about their business as usual.

As I said before, no matter how the world order changes, the grassroots people will never have access to the truth, nor will they be interested in it. They will probably be attracted by another piece of gossip in just a few days.

AA had seen it all, so she knew that Wade had no reason to attack the Star Ring. Besides, Wade was currently preoccupied with his own problems and probably didn't have time to deal with these messes.

AA's guess was correct.

At that moment, aboard the Gravitation, Wade slowly lowered his gun. In front of him, several crew members who had been shot were writhing on the ground, groaning in pain.

Their blood was splattered all over the ground. The doctor was right there, but no one dared to help, because Wade was still standing there.

Wade's face was expressionless. He kicked one of the men who was trying to get up, knocking him to the ground, and said coldly.

"Who exactly ordered you to assassinate me, Zhi Zi? Or the Earth Alliance, or that idiot Cheng Xin!"

Just moments ago, Vader, who was resting with his eyes closed on the bridge, suddenly brushed past a plasma bomb.

If he hadn't been so alert, that one blow would probably have been enough to kill him.

The instant Wade was attacked, Guan Yifan, who was standing next to him, immediately pressed the alarm on the Gravitational, notifying those around him to come to the rescue.

Although many people on the ship disliked Vader, especially for his usurpation of the Swordholder position, many harbored resentment towards him, but few mentioned it due to pressure from the Earth Alliance.

However, regardless of anything else, Wade is now the talisman of the entire Gravity. Once Wade dies, they believe that the guns and cannons deployed around the Gravity will not hesitate to turn against it.

It's just a small starship. The Earth Alliance has plenty of money now, so maybe if it gets blown up, so be it.
