The general had gone to take a shower, but who knew if he was really going to shower or if the two of them were going to shower together…

Chen Weiwei swallowed his saliva and reorganized his words before saying,

“Your Highness, the mental training equipment from Duke Chu Fengyuan’s starship has been moved over.”

There was a brief silence.

Chu Xinglin’s voice was somewhat hoarse. He had just been aroused by Gu Huan and couldn’t quite suppress it. But now that Chen Weiwei was here, if he didn’t let him in, wouldn’t he appear to be a mediocre king? So, he allowed him to enter.

“Don’t let Gu Huan use it for now,” Chu Xinglin ordered. “Have a few people test it to see if there are any issues with the equipment. We’ll come over later.”

Later?

Chen Weiwei was slightly puzzled for a moment, but then he quickly understood. He only showed a dutiful look and swiftly left the room.

Watching Chen Weiwei leave, Chu Xinglin immediately unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles and walked into the bathroom.

Gu Huan was already completely undressed, with soapy black strands of hair covering his back. Chu Xinglin embraced him from behind and continued kissing him, the foam blurring their vision.

Gu Huan’s voice was slightly breathless, “Too much.”

“You also need to take off your clothes.”

Why was he completely naked while Chu Xinglin was so neatly dressed?

“Don’t worry about the minor details.”

Gu Huan’s eyes flickered slightly; no, he had to make him care about this detail.

<hr>

The result of such a fuss was that Chu Xinglin, who originally didn’t need to change his coat, had to change into a new set of clothes.

“Your Highness, General.”

Chen Weiwei looked at the two who had changed their appearances at the same moment and silently confided that his guess was correct.

The meaning of that order was to delay the time for a bit; they had something else to take care of. He also felt a subtle sympathy; these two big shots did not have it easy. They were indeed busy people and even finding time for intimacy was like finding a needle in a haystack. But who was the top between the two of them? He couldn’t tell.

Both weren’t the type to look fragile after being in bed. They all looked very normal.

Chu Fengyuan, who was tied on a chair, opened his eyes upon hearing someone enter. He glanced at the two and kicked the stool leg instantly. How could he, a beta who was involved in various love affairs every day, not see the current situation of the two people opposite him? Whatever really happened, he could only stare at Chu Xinglin with resentful eyes.

Due to his disgust, the smile on the corner of his mouth became softer and gentler.

“Nephew, you’ve grown up.”

Chu Xinglin retorted without falling behind, “Thank you.”

Chu Xinglin’s words almost made Chu Fengyuan want to spit out blood.

Next to him, Chen Weiwei watched this scene and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Thinking about the past, Chu Fengyuan used to wear bathrobes every day, and the people around him changed every day, either in the middle of a mission or on the way to one. Did he ever think about the day when his alpha nephew, who had never touched an omega, would show off having a partner in front of him?

“General, we’ve tested it, and there are no issues.”

“Everything is running smoothly, and there’s no danger of traumatic psychic procedures.”

Chen Weiwei nodded.

Gu Huan nodded and patted Chu Xinglin’s hand that was supporting his waist, walking into the Zerg cocoon-shaped training device by himself.

With that person inside, Chu Fengyuan also withdrew his gaze from Chu Xinglin.

Chu Xinglin sat beside the bound Duke and asked, “What is your purpose? Do you really admit defeat?”

“…” Chu Fengyuan remained silent for a while, tilting his head to the side. “At least for snatching Gu Huan, I haven’t admitted defeat yet.”

Chen Weiwei’s face froze, and the sudden surge of powerful alpha pheromones around them was enough to show how disgusted Chu Xinglin felt.

“You don’t stand a chance.”

“Once you go back, you’ll be locked in prison, never to see the light of day again.”

Chu Fengyuan lightly scoffed,

“Is that so? That Interstellar Tribunal Planet that Nie Cen manipulated?” Chu Xinglin’s lips curled up gently, his ice-blue eyes filled with scornful mockery. “I’m afraid that won’t keep me locked up for too long.”

Chu Xinglin clenched his fists in front of his chest. “Thank you for the reminder.” He turned to look at Chu Fengyuan,

“I will redesign a prison specifically for you.”

“Not bad, my… good nephew.” Chu Fengyuan said, tenderly.

Chen Weiwei silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Qixing, why do you feel this way?” He Yunan frowned slightly.

“Father.” He Qixing looked at He Yunan in distress.

“Eighty percent of what you said is probably true. But you still concealed part of your thoughts because Nie Cen wanted evidence that the crystal could attract the Zerg. So, you used that crystal to attract the Zerg.”

He Yunan asked, “What’s wrong with it?”

“You mentioned that during the Zerg tide period, the Zergs appear in groups. So, it’s strange for a solitary Zerg to appear on that planet. And because that Zerg is peculiar, Uncle Nie Cen believed your words.”

Nie Chuan looked at He Qixing, not finding any logical issue with the statement. He didn’t know what Xingxing had figured out.

“During the Zerg tide, for a Zerg to openly appear on a non-abandoned planet, that itself is a problem.”

“The energy protective shield outside the planet is just a decoration during the Zerg breeding period. But during the Zerg tide, it becomes a solid protective layer.”

“Normally, the energy protective shield operates around the clock during the Zerg tide.”

“If you said a group of Zergs broke through the energy protective shield and sneaked in, I can only reluctantly believe it. But if you say you brought in one Zerg, and it casually entered an ordinary household’s yard, I don’t believe it at all.”

“Unless…” He Qixing paused.

“At that time, the energy protective shield suddenly… unexpectedly, just happened to malfunction at that very specific moment.”

“Just like what you did to the security system this time, someone deliberately shut down the energy protective shield.”

“This is indeed something you can do.”

The Institute had been researching energy protective shields since the founding of the country, and He Yunan was a very orthodox director. He could easily learn about energy protective shields.

“This time, you managed to do it.”

He Qixing spoke with difficulty.

“The Nie couple truly committed suicide.”

“But before you went to the Nie family, you already had the idea of attracting the Zergs to kill them.”

Zergs didn’t appear by chance; it’s just that the Nie couple chose a more tragic and desperate path to death.

“You… stop lying to me anymore.”

“I’m not as easy to deceive as before.”

He still felt somewhat fortunate; at least his father didn’t personally kill them in the end.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to interact with Nie Chuan.

Although the Nie couple might not be Nie Chuan’s biological parents, they still had feelings in the end. Nie Chuan was a sentimental person, a rather naive and idealistic one. The impact of the current situation on him should be far greater than on him, who has always been a realistic person all this time.

“Father.”

“The personnel outside should have notified General Gu Huan.”

“Regardless of the reason, General Gu Huan seems to have given this country an opportunity.”

“He trusts the Crown Prince.”

“If you’re just helping him, can you also give this country a chance?”

“Give a chance for everything to reconcile.”

He Yunan gently closed his eyes.
