“Why do you want to disrupt the current situation? What benefits are there in attracting the Zerg?” questioned Gu Huan.
“That’s different. Our concept of seeking revenge is not the same,” Cheng Dui retorted.
“Stop talking,” Cheng Zhao tightly furrowed her brows, stopping Cheng Dui from saying anything more. She then used the excuse that it was getting dark to pull Cheng Dui back.
“Let’s go to bed early, maybe father will be back tomorrow morning.”
Gu Huan felt that Dean He might not be able to come back.
Because. . . . . . He has already found Chu Fengyuan, so the option given by Dean He is meaningless. He can just arrest Dean He on charges of privately conducting prohibited research.
Cheng Zhao pushed Cheng Dui to her room, and then returned to Gu Huan.
“I know what you mean,” Cheng Zhao said as she returned to face Gu Huan. “I also understand my father’s words… Perhaps there are some false parts to it.”
“…” Gu Huan frowned slightly.
Cheng Zhao, at her age, displayed remarkable rationality and clarity. It was somewhat reminiscent of He Qixing. However, He Qixing was supposed to be He Yunan’s biological son… perhaps, but he wasn’t certain.
“We are artificial humans, but we are also human.” Cheng Zhao.
“So, what he does may not be entirely right, and it might even be entirely wrong. And you are still willing to help him?” Gu Huan asked.
“Yes. I’ve had this determination for a long time,” Cheng Zhao replied, her exquisite and beautiful face displaying a confident smile.
“It’s okay even if you think my values are skewed,” she added.
“Our values are all shaped by our father. Xiao Dui has always insisted on what she believes is right. I think it’s better to believe in a false world than to let the world she believes in collapse,” Cheng Zhao explained.
Emotions surged in Gu Huan’s golden eyes, mixed with a hint of helplessness. Finally, he sighed and said, “You should go to sleep soon too.”
His black hair fell casually in front of him as he reclined on the sofa. Cheng Zhao didn’t move, sitting on the small sofa with her arms crossed.
Gu Huan opened his eyes, looked at the girl sitting next to him, and asked, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I want to watch over you,” Cheng Zhao replied calmly.
Gu Huan didn’t say anything more. He closed his eyes and, after a while, seemed to have fallen into a light and peaceful sleep, emitting soft and shallow breaths.
Because the indoor environment was too quiet, someone emitted a sound that resembled a lullaby, like a hypnotic melody, and soon Cheng Zhao also felt sleepy. Sitting on the sofa, she kept nodding her head, her eyelids fighting to stay open.
A dark figure came up behind her, delivering a heavy blow to the back of her neck. After catching the unconscious girl, they placed her on a larger sofa, and the person who was lying on the sofa just now disappeared.
Walking out of He Yunan’s courtyard.
Gu Huan didn’t encounter anyone from Chu Fengyuan’s camp, but instead ran into the thugs he had encountered earlier in the day. Unfortunately, before they could speak, a large amount of blood splattered from their chests, and they collapsed in front of him.
Gu Huan looked up to see Chu Fengyuan, who had cleanly and efficiently killed the two people with an energy gun equipped with a silencer.
“Isn’t the method too cruel?”
They hadn’t done anything yet, after all.
Chu Fengyuan held the energy gun in his hand and shrugged. “A-Huan, everyone living here is a criminal. With their DNA information, we might even get a reward on the Interstellar Court planet.”
“…”
Gu Huan lowered his gaze to the two people lying in front of him. He walked past them and approached Chu Fengyuan.
Chu Fengyuan beckoned, and a flying car descended from the sky. With an inviting gesture, he signaled Gu Huan to board the vehicle.
Chu Fengyuan held a glass of red wine in one hand, legs crossed, looking at the general opposite him, his ice-blue eyes revealing curiosity.
“Chu Xinglin let you enter the Interstellar Court Star freely, and you followed He Yunan here. Is it because he no longer trusts you? Or did you decide to leave him after listening to what He Yunan said?”
Gu Huan closed his eyes and calmly replied, “It’s none of your business.”
“I’ll take it as if you two have really cut ties.” Chu Fengyuan smiled and self-promoted, “Are you interested in being with me? I guarantee that, in terms of skills in bed, I am definitely more experienced than Chu Xinglin.”
Gu Huan lifted his eyelids slightly, eyes filled with disgust.
Chu Fengyuan didn’t continue discussing this topic. Holding the wine glass, he took a sip, and with his gaze on the stellar sea outside, he said, “Boring.”
“Aren’t you going to tell me the information you know? Speak up.”
Chu Fengyuan put down the wine glass, fingers lightly resting on his chin.
“Don’t be in a hurry,”
“I’m afraid the flying car might be tracked, so I circled a few times. Once I’m sure no one is following us, some things can be said.”
“…”
Gu Huan looked out of the flying car window, his brows revealing some concern. He was worried that the two girls would follow. With Chu Fengyuan’s ruthlessness, he would surely shoot them on sight.
Chu Fengyuan seemed to guess what Gu Huan was thinking, so he said, “Rest assured, I’ve already sent someone to monitor the professor’s residence, and no one has come out.”
“The time is almost up. Now I can tell you the reasons why we can cooperate.”
“I suspect that He Yunan is being controlled by the Zerg Queen.”
Gu Huan’s pupils contracted slightly, somewhat taken aback by this massive reveal.
Chu Fengyuan continued. “In the years when he was exiled, he went to the remote planet ln001 as a researcher with his wife. For some unknown reason, the fleet escorting him later disappeared without a trace, leaving only him and his wife miraculously alive.”
“In the following years… his wife died, leaving behind only a son still in swaddling clothes.”
It turns out that He Qixing is really He Yunan’s child.
As Gu Huan was lost in thought over this revelation, he heard the crucial part of Chu Fengyuan’s story.
“He was sent to the abandoned planet ln001. Now, that place is just a deserted planet with only an orphanage,” Chu Fengyuan lightly tapped his chin. “You know where I’m talking.”
“…” Gu Huan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he replied, “That’s not evidence.”
“It could also be his extraordinary misfortune, coincidentally experiencing a plane crash during his relocation. His wife couldn’t cope with the drastic change from the capital to a remote planet, so she passed away.”
Chu Fengyuan put down his hand supporting his chin.
“If you explain it this way, there is nothing wrong with it.”
“But,” he continued, “you might not know what he did to the Nie family.”
At the First Military Academy, students were preparing for the upcoming demonstration. These students, mostly sophomores, were trained by Gu Huan when he was an instructor.
They came together to restore the reputation of General Gu Huan to the Interestellar Tribunal.
There is no evidence yet to show that the general must have helped Chu Fengyuan and committed treason. Why should we conclude that the general is guilty just because he ran away?
At least they definitely don’t believe that the general is guilty! There must be a reason why the general escaped!
But the current situation is very unfavorable to General Gu Huan.
The degree of danger of each level is different. The danger level of super SSS level is equivalent to ‘kill on sight’. This is the most intolerable thing for this group of fans.
The general has never been to the Interstellar Court planet. He is only guilty of escaping from prison. He cannot reach the super SSS level at all. If they directly killed the general in the process of capturing him, how would the general explain himself?
Wearing the white military academy uniform, Nie Chuan stood in front of everyone with a slight frown.
“In a while, there will be a bus carrying us to the Interstellar Court planet. Are you all ready?”
“Yes, President.”
The former president of the First Military Academy’s student union stepped down from his position. As a sophomore, Nie Chuan was eligible to run for the position of student union president. In a close competition against a senior in his third year, Nie Chuan narrowly won and became the new president of the First Military Academy’s student union.
“When you protest later, be sure not to use violence,” Nie Chuan emphasized. “Otherwise, the charge of treason against General Gu Huan will become more plausible.”
“Restrain yourselves, close your mouths, and just hold up the signs.”
Nie Chuan’s sign had only two demands: lower Gu Huan’s wanted level or promise not to execute him on the spot, just capture him.
“Nie Chuan, you can rest assured. How many times have you emphasized during our meetings? My ears already have calluses ba.”
“We are the elites of the First Military Academy, familiar with military discipline and regulations. Do you think we don’t understand?” A few friends who had a good relationship with Nie Chuan said with a smile.
Nie Chuan nodded along.
He was just too afraid that his actions might have adverse effects, affecting General Gu Huan’s already precarious situation.
Seeing the rented bus finally arriving, he noticed that He Qixing was still standing in place without moving.
“Xingxing, what are you daydreaming about?”
Huo Qixing belatedly raised his head.
Seeing Nie Chuan’s concerned expression, he shook his head lightly and said, “Nothing.”
“You’re thinking for so long, how could everything be okay?” Nie Chuan, with an expression that said, “Don’t hide anything from me,” opened the conversation with He Qixing.
“I just feel… that this series of events seems to be related.”
“What’s related?”
“Do you remember the twins that the General encountered?”
“Why were they the General’s opponents in the online interstellar competition?” He Qixing asked.
“It’s just a coincidence,” Nie Chuan shrugged.
He Qixing shook his head. “I always feel that the General organized that competition just to bring them out.”
“After their competition, the General was imprisoned on the Interstellar Court planet… This matter is also suspicious.”
“And there’s an even more suspicious thing.”
He Qixing shared the information on his optical brain with Nie Chuan.
“My father, who has been away from home for a year and a half, suddenly asked me where I am. He wants to take me on a trip.”
Nie Chuan had a distressed expression. “Really, Xingxing, your dad wants to take you on a trip, and you’re not going?”
“No, I want to go. I just feel that my father is acting strange.” He Qixing looked at the distant stars.
It’s too coincidental.
On the day the General went to the Interstellar Court planet, his father should also have been there.
And on the day the General escaped, he wanted to take him on a trip. What kind of trip are you taking? Is it possible that you’re trying to escape?
