The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 185: Brother Lu, Trust Me

Su Ruan cleared her throat and hurriedly said, "I’m just fooling those people."

"I always felt that the person in the black robe was very strange, as if she was searching for someone."

Su Ruan recalled the attitude of the person in the black robe today and analyzed carefully, "Most people in that lounge were dressed plainly, and they looked spiritually defeated, like people who are not very successful in life."

She had seen too many people like that on Tianhe Star, people who were down and out, living each day just to survive.

"Do you think..."

She paused, relying on her instincts, and asked, "What if someone went missing here?"

Although the Federation’s laws are now complete, the reconstruction after the war has consumed too much manpower and resources and also dispersed too much power.

Central Star, though it appears prosperous on the surface, sits right beside the largest slum on the planets, separated by just one wall, more tragic than even Tianhe Star, a low-level planet.

Just one wall divides two worlds that are almost extreme opposites.

People choose to turn a blind eye, allowing the residents of the slum to fight for survival.

People like those in the slums are mostly marginalized, even if someone suddenly disappears, it would merely leave a record, but whether a search is conducted, or if they can be found, is no longer a concern for them.

This is why Su Ruan spun tales today to portray herself as pitiful.

Lu Shinian quickly understood her meaning.

His large hand holding her slender waist tightened slightly, and a dark color flashed in the depths of his pupils.

"Are you suggesting that the people from the Rose Union might be involved in human trafficking?"

Su Ruan nodded.

Although it’s a bit strange to traffic ordinary adults with low spiritual power, it should be feasible to take them to a mining planet to extract minerals, right?

"What else did he say to you?" Lu Shinian asked again.

"He told me to meet him over there tomorrow night," Su Ruan replied honestly.

A glimmer of darkness passed through Lu Shinian’s eyes, "You’re not going."

"Brother Lu, I want to go." Su Ruan grabbed Lu Shinian’s arm and held it tightly, "The Soul-devouring Worm detector showed that he has Soul-devouring Worms on him, but I was very close to him today and probed with my spiritual power, but I found no trace of the Soul-devouring Worm."

She had come into contact with Soul-devouring Worms before, and her spiritual power remembered the fluctuations of the Soul-devouring Worms.

She believed in the testing equipment from the research department, but also trusted her own spiritual power.

These completely contrary conclusions can only mean one thing: there’s something strange about the person in the black robe.

Thinking about the possible Insect Race army invasion ten years later, Su Ruan’s grip on Lu Shinian’s arm tightened even more.

Maybe the Insect Race had infiltrated in ways unknown to them before, which led to such bitter consequences.

Not just her death, but also the deaths of many Federation People and the destruction of thousands of planets.

"We must figure out what’s strange about the person in the black robe," Su Ruan said with strong determination, "I’m the right person to go."

Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened, "I’ll send someone else."

"There’s no time." Su Ruan insisted, "We don’t even know how long they’ve been conducting this kind of lecture activity here on Central Star."

"Nor do we know what relationship they have with the Insect Race."

"I just managed to lower the black-robed person’s guard today, and sending someone else would only take more effort."

"In case..."

She didn’t say what that "in case" was, but Lu Shinian understood what she implied.

He lifted his eyes, staring straight at Su Ruan, his lips pressed tightly, without speaking.

Seeing Lu Shinian’s unyielding expression, Su Ruan’s dark pupils were full of determination, shining with the brightest light in the dim night.

"Trust me."

Lu Shinian’s pupils contracted suddenly.

His thoughts were pulled back to ten years ago.

Ten years ago, after being saved by Su Ruan, although his physical injuries healed quickly, the power of the Insect Queen’s Insect Crystal was so overpowering that it nearly shattered his Spiritual Sea.

He often lost his sanity, became frantic, and extremely entered the complete Beastification Stage.

He clearly remembered turning into a Snow Wolf, but the complete Beastification duration was always short. He could do nothing except know that during the complete Beastification Stage, he still retained the rationality of a human being.

However, most of the time, he was delirious and unknowing.

This condition worsened over time until the last time when he completely went berserk.

He didn’t know what he had experienced; he only vaguely recalled hearing her, young as she was, speaking in a determined voice: "Trust me."

He entrusted her with the deepest trust, after which he had no memory of what happened.

Only when he regained clarity did he find that he had fully integrated the power of the Insect Queen’s Insect Crystal, and his Spiritual Sea had expanded several times. Though it was still somewhat chaotic, it wasn’t as painful as before.

After temporarily stabilizing, he was busy returning to Central Star to report, where he bid her farewell, unexpectedly, for what turned out to be ten years.

"Brother Lu?" Su Ruan’s voice sounded in his ear.

Lu Shinian snapped back to reality, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, and responded in a low voice, "Mm."

"I trust you."

He gave her his deepest trust, whether in the past or now.

The hovercar sped through the main road, fleeting by.

Lu Shinian held her tightly, his voice becoming a bit hoarse.

"Take care of yourself."

Seeing Lu Shinian relent, Su Ruan quickly replied, "Mm-hmm, I will!"

"I’ve been training hard recently."

"Also purified quite a few Energy Stones; now it seems my spiritual power has slightly increased."

"Ordinary people are no match for me now."

Lu Shinian raised his hand to rub Su Ruan’s hair, "Mm."

Su Ruan smiled, "Don’t worry, even if I find nothing, I won’t let myself get hurt."

Lu Shinian responded with an "Mm" and casually changed the destination a bit. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Seeing his action, Su Ruan was a little surprised, "Aren’t we going home?"

"First, we’ll stop by the Military Department." Lu Shinian said in a low voice, his eyes deep and unreadable.

Su Ruan thought he had important matters unresolved and obediently nodded, following him to the Military Department.

It was already ten at night by then, and most of the lights in the Military Department were dimmed.

Lu Shinian took Su Ruan directly to the Special Medical Department, where Lin Tianxian had already received orders and was waiting.

Seeing Lu Shinian bringing Su Ruan over, Lin Tianxian was initially startled, then said in a low voice, "Commander, is it the Commander’s Wife who will use that?"

Lu Shinian’s long eyelashes drooped slightly, concealing the light in his eyes, "Mm."

Su Ruan: ???

Use what? Speak clearly!
