Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night
Chapter 229: Commander, Out of Control!
Su Wan slept a long, deep sleep.
By the time she woke up, the sunshine was just right as it poured in, warming her body.
When Su Wan turned her head, she found her mother, Lin Ranyue, sitting by the bed, rubbing her eyes.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Xiaowan, how are you feeling now? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"
Su Wan was a bit confused; she felt as if she had been drunk, why were there gaps in her memory?
Hadn’t she been giving birth before?
Su Wan reached out to touch her stomach, which had become very flat; her beautiful eyes widened in surprise!
"Mom, where is my baby?"
"The baby’s condition is a bit strange, and Xiaoqing and the others are currently checking on him. But don’t worry, he is very healthy," Lin Ranyue touched her daughter’s long hair, feeling a bit distressed.
"It’s you, though, you gave your mom quite a fright!"
When Lin Ranyue received the communication from Gu Lei, she was completely stunned!
Xiaowan had been frail since she was young, and later on, she even experienced that incident, which weakened her constitution.
Although she had gotten somewhat better after two years of training,
What mother wouldn’t worry about her child?
Moreover, it was said that Xiaowan’s premature delivery was due to a spiritual attack!
You must understand that when a purebred human suffers such a powerful spiritual attack, they would typically be brain dead on the spot!
Lin Ranyue had almost run to the emergency center of Empire University while crying!
And when she had just arrived, she happened to hear a baby’s cry, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was shocked, the baby had just been born but already had parts that had undergone Beast Transformation.
This child’s spiritual power rank would definitely not be low!
But Lin Ranyue had no interest in that; her first concern was to see her darling daughter Xiaowan to make sure she was alright!
Then, Lin Ranyue saw this scene.
Xiaowan was still drowsy from the anesthesia, completely asleep.
And Commander Gu Jue had been kneeling by the bed, tightly holding Xiaowan’s hand...
Lin Ranyue handed her daughter a tube of nutrient supplement, "Xiaowan, eat some of this to get your strength back."
"Mhmm." Su Wan never liked drinking nutrient supplements, but she knew it could quickly replenish the nutrients her body needed.
She obediently opened her mouth and drank down the nutrient supplement.
Su Wan looked around, "Where’s Ajue?"
Lin Ranyue said with emotion, "Commander Gu had been with you the whole time. After you gave birth, he only glanced at the child once and then continued to stay with you. It was only when I arrived that he said he would let me stay with you while he went to interrogate that person."
"Interrogate who?"
"The one who launched the spiritual attack on you. They say they’ve caught him."
**
In the stark white and ice-cold interrogation room, Li Zhi was tied to a chair fitted with special equipment, eyes closed, unconscious.
Gu Jue stood there, his eyes half-drooped, devoid of any warmth.
Next to him, Li Rui spoke softly, "Commander, we found him in a lecture building nearby at that time. He was unconscious due to excessive use of spiritual power and electrocution. But, it’s most likely him who attacked the madam."
Because at the time, Gu Jue had ordered an immediate lockdown of Empire University.
No one was allowed to leave.
After a thorough search, they finally found this Li Zhi.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the others are completely without suspicion, especially the other nine exchange students.
If Li Zhi was the one who attacked the commander’s wife, then among the other exchange students, there might be his accomplices!
Gu Jue’s wolf ears slowly grew out, and his fingernails also slowly turned into wolf claws.
Li Rui was stunned, "Commander!"
"I will unleash all my spiritual power to probe his brain, you get out."
Being searched by the brain with Super S-class spiritual power...
Under such circumstances, this Li Zhi was bound to die!
But, since he had hurt Su Wan and nearly cost her her life... Li Rui understood why the Commander was so furious!
He immediately nodded, turned around, and exited the interrogation room made of special material.
Eric came face to face, and upon seeing the situation inside, he immediately cursed!
"The Commander is going to..."
Li Rui looked inside and frowned as he said, "That Li Zhi was originally backfired by spiritual power, basically a living waste. The simplest way for the Commander to find out why the other party made a move is to probe the brain."
Eric snorted coldly, "This person really has the gall! Daring to make a move on the Commander’s wife, he deserves to die!"
Li Rui nodded as well.
They had followed Gu Jue for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen him lose control like this!
Li Rui turned back and asked, "Have all those nine exchange students been controlled?"
Eric: "Yes, they’ve all been controlled. Hopefully, none of them are in league with this Li Zhi. However, it’s possible that after some time, their planets will contact us."
"What did His Majesty say?"
"His Majesty said no matter the cost, we must find the murderer! When the time comes, no matter who it is, we’re prepared to go to war!"
These were Gu Zilan’s exact words.
He usually seemed gentle and scholarly, a stark contrast to his younger uncle’s cold and ruthless War God image.
But that didn’t mean Gu Zilan had a good temper.
His uncle was of such an old age; getting married and having offspring wasn’t easy!
Daring to harm a member of the Gu Family, they were asking for death!
The usually gentle and scholarly emperor was now furious online!
At this moment, the leaders of several planets, including Mermaid Planet, became anxious when they learned their students had been detained.
They all started contacting Gu Zilan to find out what happened.
Among them, the most worried was the temporary regent of Mermaid Planet, Lan Ruochen!
Ever since Lan Rui went to the Federal Empire, Lan Ruochen worried every day that his sister would cause trouble.
He was so worried that he started losing scales!
Suddenly, he received a message saying that Lan Rui and Lan Ruojin’s communications had been cut off and that both of them had been detained by the Federation.
Lan Ruochen almost fainted!!!
Exactly how much trouble had Lan Rui, that girl, gotten into!
The moment the communication connected, Lan Ruochen anxiously said to Gu Zilan, "Your Majesty, may I ask if my good-for-nothing sister has caused some kind of trouble again?"
The leaders of the other planets, shown in the projection, also wore worried expressions.
Gu Zilan picked up a cup of water, took a sip, and slowly said, "Lan Ruochen, does Mermaid Planet intend to declare war on our Federal Empire?"
Lan Ruochen’s fishtail went limp!
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Meanwhile, the other nine controlled exchange students were detained together with Lan Rui and Lan Ruojin.
Lan Ruojin cursed angrily, "Lan Rui, what on earth have you done now?"
Lan Rui, scolded and bewildered, responded, "What did I do? Lan Ruojin, are you sick? Back on Mermaid Planet, you wouldn’t dare to curse at me like this. Who gave you the courage?"
Lan Ruojin: "If you hadn’t done something stupid, would we have been arrested?"
Lan Rui: "Who knows? Maybe you offended some noble lady and don’t want to take responsibility!"
