Chapter 235: Chapter 235: The Little One, Clutching His Own Tail, Feeling Extremely Wronged

Cecilia’s voice was rarely tender.

"He may be dumb, but sometimes he’s quite adorable. Being wholly relied upon by such a person is also a kind of happiness," she said.

"Being a bit dumb has its perks."

Everyone’s love is different, isn’t it?

For example, Su Ni is dumb and easy to fool, but he loves Cecilia deeply and trusts her very much.

All of Su Ni’s income and affairs are managed by Cecilia.

He listens to her almost all the time.

It’s precisely because of this that Cecilia can overlook his stupidity.

That must be what their love looks like.

After ending the communication, Su Wan blinked.

Was she just shown a face full of affection?

Suddenly, she really missed her Commander!

Gu Jue had been very busy lately, especially with the investigation into the matter concerning Li Zhi.

People had already been dispatched to M783 Star to investigate. Lucifer might still be on that planet. Even if he had fled, his accomplices would surely still be there!

The Insect caught from Li Zhi’s body had remained a mystery.

Just today, that Insect unexpectedly self-destructed!

Only the sticky fragments of the Insect’s body on the glass vessel indicated that it had truly existed.

The clue was here, and yet it was abruptly interrupted!

Eric, holding the investigation results, said, "Commander, we have not seen this Insect before, and perhaps our research on the Insect Clan isn’t thorough enough."

"Our research might not be thorough, but Lucifer has already joined forces with the Insect Clan."

This could be the most terrifying thing!

Gu Jue had already sent the operation application up.

A large-scale joint military operation to eradicate the Star Thieves was about to begin!

After a long day of official duties, Gu Jue was eager to return as he boarded his flyer.

When the flyer docked on the platform of his mansion, the frown knitted on Gu Jue’s brow began to relax gradually.

As soon as Gu Jue returned, Vermilion Bird reported it to Su Wan.

Su Wan was in the children’s room playing with the baby.

Sensing that his mother was about to leave, the baby, who had been happily playing, suddenly pouted.

Gazing at Su Wan with a wronged, tearful look, he clutched his tail.

The little one’s expression couldn’t be more pitiful.

Unable to bear leaving, Su Wan sat back down and bent over to kiss the baby’s forehead. "We’ve played for so long, isn’t the baby tired? How about a rest?"

The little guy still pouted.

At that moment, White Tiger had flown in from outside.

It flew next to Su Wan and said in a low voice, "Madam, the master is not in a good mood today."

Su Wan asked, "Why?"

White Tiger answered, "Because the Insect that was caught from Li Zhi suddenly exploded. All the clues have been cut off."

Su Wan remembered Gu Jue saying that the Insect was made to be ingested by Li Zhi by Lucifer.

Although she had only heard of it and had not seen it herself.

But why did Su Wan feel that the Insect resembled the Poisonous Insects she had heard about back on Ancient Earth?

It’s very likely that Lucifer possesses a queen Insect!

And the one inside Li Zhi’s body was an offspring!

Su Wan could not sit still any longer and immediately stood up. She tucked the little blanket around the baby. "Be good, baby. Mommy has something to do and will leave for a bit. You can play with Vermilion Bird and White Tiger," she said.

After speaking, she did not look back at the baby’s pitiful tearful expression and walked out promptly.

Large tear drops whirled in the baby’s eyes.

He lifted his head and looked at the White Tiger flying towards him.

Then, a bolt of electricity shot towards the White Tiger.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Metal conducts electricity, so the White Tiger was struck flush by the bolt!

The little wings fluttered a couple of times, then it fell to the ground with a smack.

Afterward, the white metallic sphere was charred black by the electricity.

From the mouth of the metallic sphere, a ring of smoke was even emitted!

The Vermilion Bird flew to the side, worried that the electricity might conduct onto itself...

Su Wan came out of the children’s room just as Gu Jue had gone to the bedroom.

He changed out of his military attire and put on soft, comfortable home clothes.

This man, certain small details, he grasped tightly.

And the starting point was always for his little tender wife.

How could one not be moved?

Su Wan approached him and said directly, "Ajue, can I take a look at the bug that was on Li Zhi?"

Gu Jue replied, "The bug has already exploded. However, there is a video from before."

Su Wan said, "A video will do."

Gu Jue was not clear why his little tender wife suddenly wanted to see that bug.

But he was used to it; when it came to Su Wan’s requests, he never refused.

Gu Jue immediately had Eric send over the video of the bug from before, and he narrated for Su Wan on the side.

Gu Jue said, "Even if Li Zhi is in a rush for success, he wouldn’t attack you with spiritual power because doing so wouldn’t end well for him. It must have been this kind of bug controlling him."

Su Wan nodded, "Even if Li Zhi didn’t know that my spiritual power was also S-class, if he were to launch a mental attack, he would be backlashed. At the very least, the backlash would cause brain damage to him."

Gu Jue agreed, "Right, so at the time, our analysis concluded that Li Zhi had completely lost himself, and it was Lucifer who controlled him. But Lucifer’s spiritual power shouldn’t be so strong that he could control a person from such a distance."

If Lucifer really were that powerful, he wouldn’t have waited until then to choose a young Li Zhi to make his move.

He would have taken control of someone close to Gu Jue or Gu Zilan much earlier.

Because doing so would be more convenient for achieving his ambition!

At that moment, Eric’s video came through.

Su Wan watched the bug in the video intently; it indeed looked very similar to what she had seen on Ancient Earth!

After a long silence, she finally spoke up solemnly, "Ajue, have you heard of Poisonous Insect?"

Gu Jue asked, "What kind of insect from which subject is this?"

Gu Jue, having dealt with the Insect Clan for many years, was familiar with all the insect categories in the Universe.

But this Poisonous Insect...

Su Wan said, "This thing has been lost for nearly a thousand years; I saw it in the records on Ancient Earth."

"These Poisonous Insects are specially bred insects, with the existence of parent and child bugs, also called paired Poisonous Insects, placed in different people."

"The possessor of the child bug will completely obey the commands of the parent bug’s owner."

She lifted her head, speaking earnestly, "Lucifer must possess the parent bug, and the one in Li Zhi’s body is the child bug."

Then the question arose.

How did Lucifer come across this long-lost method?

And once this method could be used on a large scale, the consequences were too frightening to contemplate!

Gu Jue immediately stood up, "I need to call an emergency meeting. If these paired poison insects are used on a large scale, the situation will become serious!"

Su Wan nodded, watched Gu Jue go to the study for the meeting, then returned to the children’s room to be with the baby.

On one side, the White Tiger used every trick in the book and still couldn’t settle the wolf-eared baby, but the moment the baby saw Mum, its eyes suddenly glowed.

A pair of fluffy little ears also perked up instantly!

"Mama~"
