Gu Jue immediately used an experimental glass cover nearby and swiftly trapped the bug under it!

The beetle, the size of a fingernail, seemed to realize it had been captured and began desperately slamming against the glass cover.

But the glass vessel was made of super reinforced material, so it had no chance of escaping.

Gu Jue walked out holding the glass vessel and looked at the two subordinate officers facing him.

He tossed the glass vessel to Eric, "Go check this out, see what it is."

Eric quickly caught the glass vessel, "Yes! Commander!"

After Gu Jue left, Eric complained to Li Rui, "Look at this bug, isn’t it ugly!"

Li Rui was speechless, "Are bugs supposed to be pretty?"

"Well, that’s true."

After leaving the interrogation room, Gu Jue first called Gu Lei, "How’s the investigation going at the school?"

Gu Lei: "The other students were unaware, and they don’t have any suspicion on them, including the other nine exchange students."

Gu Jue: "Let Empire University return to normal then."

Gu Lei: "Has the culprit been found?"

Gu Jue: "It was Lucifer. The details are still under investigation, waiting for results."

Gu Lei was shocked. That Star Thief Leader had actually reached out to them!

However, since the other students were cleared of suspicion, it was still better to let Empire University resume normalcy as soon as possible.

Gu Lei: "Then you should go see Xiaowan and the child. Ranyue messaged me a while ago, Xiaowan has woken up."

"Mhm."

Gu Jue was of course eager to return. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

However, the thought of that bastard Lucifer targeting Xiaowan this time filled Gu Jue’s eyes with a chilling resolve.

Damn bastard!

It was time to eradicate them!

**

Commander Gu’s residence.

Domestic robots bustled about, and Vermilion Bird soared in the mid-air, directing the robots, getting the children’s room ready.

Besides, some domestic robots’ programs were modified.

Making them better at caring for babies.

Although Xiaobao had just been born recently, and would shock strangers upon meeting them, he was very well-behaved and adorable in Su Wan’s arms.

He looked like a little angel when sleeping, and upon waking, he would rub Su Wan’s arm with his soft, furry ears.

Very clingy.

Su Wan told her mother, who had been with her all day, "Mom, you’ve been tired all day. Go home and rest, I’m fine here."

In the Interstellar Era, taking care of a child was much easier.

With just the input of a baby care program, those domestic robots did a better job than real parents.

However, Lin Ranyue looked at her lovely grandson with a tender gaze.

"Xiaowan, you still have to go back to school. How about when the time comes, you leave the child at my place, and I’ll take care of him. Just don’t send the child to the Beastman Cultivation Center."

Her son Su Yun’s situation still affected Lin Ranyue.

No matter what, she still felt some guilt towards her eldest son.

Su Wan knew this and reached out to hold her mother’s hand, "Mom, don’t blame yourself for Su Yun’s situation. So many Beastman babies grow up in the Beastman Cultivation Center without turning out selfish and self-centered like Su Yun."

"After all, it wasn’t your decision to send him there. If he wants to hate, let him blame Su Zhen."

"Also, if you look at it from a genetic standpoint, to some extent, Su Yun is very much like Su Zhen, isn’t he?"

If both parents have gentle personalities and are good-hearted and steadfast.

It would be unlikely to produce three siblings with such different characters.

This method of persuasion was quite novel to Lin Ranyue.

She said with a fright, "Fortunately, you didn’t follow Su Zhen! Oh, but it was my choice of Su Zhen that led to Xiaoyun and Xiaoni. In the end, it was my poor judgment at the time."

Su Wan smiled and said, "Mom, your judgment this time isn’t bad."

As she spoke, she glanced behind Lin Ranyue.

Gu Lei had finally taken care of the school matters. Knowing that his wife Lin Ranyue had accompanied Xiaowan for most of the day and worried she might be tired—especially since she was pregnant—he came to take her home.

Appearing alongside Gu Lei was the ever-so-crisp, stern-faced Commander Gu, in his immaculate military uniform.

Su Wan didn’t want to tire her mother either, so she took the opportunity to say, "Mom, you and Director Gu go home first. You must be tired today. Go back and rest well. If you want to see the baby tomorrow, then come over."

"That’s fine." Lin Ranyue saw Commander Gu had returned, so she didn’t linger.

Too many things had happened that day, and the young couple surely had a lot to discuss.

But before Lin Ranyue left, she went to see her little grandson again.

Looking at the fluffy, chubby and adorable grandson, she asked, "By the way, Xiaowan, have you come up with a name for the baby?"

Su Wan’s expression froze, and she quickly looked at Commander Gu.

Gu Jue’s lips twitched slightly, maintaining his composure, "The nickname is ’baby’ for now; we have a few full names in mind, but haven’t made a final decision yet."

Lin Ranyue nodded, not thinking much of it—as a member of the Imperial Family, naming the child was definitely a more solemn affair.

She smiled at the little baby, "Be good, baby, Grandmother will come to see you tomorrow."

While saying this, she also said to Gu Lei, "Xiaolei, come and have a look at the baby, he’s especially cute!"

Gu Lei: "Yeah, very cute."

Although he said this, Gu Lei firmly believed that the child he and Ranyue would have would definitely be cuter than this one!

After the couple left, Su Wan asked curiously, "Ajue, have you actually thought of names for the baby? What are they? I’d like to hear them."

"I haven’t come up with any."

"..."

Su Wan suddenly realized.

It turned out that Ajue was lying just now!

Possibly because his wife’s expression was too teasing, Commander Gu added, "You don’t have to worry about the baby’s official name. Zilan over there will have some prepared, and then you can choose one you like."

After all, it was the name of a member of the Imperial Family, and it had to be chosen with due care.

Su Wan nodded, about to speak when the man in front of her suddenly stretched out his long arms and picked her up.

Su Wan quickly wrapped her arms around his neck to maintain balance.

"Ajue?"

"You still need to rest, I’ll carry you back to the bedroom."

They were currently in the nursery because Lin Ranyue wanted to see the baby before she left.

With her arms around Gu Jue’s neck, Su Wan said softly, "Ajue, I’m quite recovered now. I’ve been lying in the healing pod for a long time, and Sister Ouyang gave me a thorough checkup afterward."

He responded, "You still need to rest, and I need to talk to you about the attackers."

Su Wan nodded in agreement when the topic of the attack was raised, but she glanced over at the baby who was on the crib playing happily with his fluffy tail.

"What about the child..."

"Let White Tiger and Vermilion Bird watch him; we also have the household robots."

Su Wan knew that both White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were very reliable, and since this was Commander Gu’s residence, the security level was very high, not inferior to the Imperial Palace.

She let Gu Jue carry her back to the bedroom.

Mainly, Su Wan had important things to discuss with Commander Gu herself.

Then, the couple returned to the bedroom together, while White Tiger and Vermilion Bird faithfully flew over to take care of little Xiaobao.

The baby on the crib: "..."
