The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 187: If Anything Happens to His Ruan Ruan
In the Physical Energy Liquid cabin, one could not perceive the passage of time at all. When Su Ruan put on her clothes and glanced at the Light Brain, she realized it was already 5:00 PM the next day.
Less than an hour remained before the time she agreed to meet with that strange figure in a black robe.
Su Ruan hurriedly walked out, finding the hallway empty and devoid of people.
A strange thought crossed her mind, but it was quickly suppressed by other thoughts.
She didn’t have time to find Lin Tianxian; she just sent a message to Lu Shinian, telling him she had woken up and was now rushing to the reception hall from yesterday.
This was a great opportunity, one she didn’t want to miss.
————
Lu Shinian did not receive Su Ruan’s message.
Or rather, for the sake of this operation, he temporarily blocked incoming messages, focusing solely on this matter. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
He knew very well the effects of Physical Energy Liquid. Back in the day, it took him three days to wake up after using it, let alone Su Ruan, whose physique was much weaker than his.
The poorer the physique, the longer one needed to use the Physical Energy Liquid, was a common understanding.
Given Su Ruan’s physical performance, she was expected to wake up in five to seven days. No one anticipated she would awaken on her own in less than a day.
Thus, by a stroke of fate, Su Ruan arrived in the reception hall earlier than agreed.
She arrived a bit earlier than the agreed time, but the figure in the black robe was already waiting.
"You’re here," the black robed figure’s voice was very low, as if intentionally using a deep voice, "good girl."
Su Ruan: ...
It just felt uncanny.
She blinked, tugged at her clothes, and pretended to shrink back a bit, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Master, you called me here alone, do you want to give me some guidance?"
The black robed figure nodded, "Naturally."
"Come with me."
His voice seemed to possess an invisible power, making one follow his words involuntarily.
Su Ruan keenly noticed this, her eyes flickering slightly.
She tentatively extended a tendril of spiritual power, but found no trace of the Insect Race on the black robed person.
Retracting her spiritual power, she followed the black robed figure inside.
Meanwhile, the people Lu Shinian had deployed arrived at the site.
An elite of similar height to Su Ruan was ready to begin action, following instructions to enter the reception hall, only to find it empty.
She quickly reported this matter and awaited further instructions at the spot.
Lu Shinian and Su Heyuan sat in the surveillance room, listening to the subordinate’s report. Su Heyuan was the first to frown and ask: "Isn’t the black robed person you mentioned yet to arrive?"
Lu Shinian didn’t speak, fixing his eyes on the surveillance, adjusting the time, and rewinding the footage.
This building, located in a developed area, had many routes leading to the reception hall on the first floor, making surveillance quite troublesome.
Moreover, to avoid causing panic, he hadn’t mobilized too many people, which led to some neglect of the smaller pathways.
Lu Shinian focused on checking the surveillance of those small paths.
On the screen, a petite figure flashed by.
Lu Shinian’s pupils shrank abruptly, quickly rewinding the surveillance and slowing down the speed.
Beside him, Su Heyuan noticed his actions and looked over, his pupils also tightening suddenly.
"Sister?"
He suddenly stood up.
"Didn’t you say she was at the Military Department? Why is she here?"
If not for his sister, who would choose to cooperate with him? If anything happened to her, he definitely wouldn’t let him off!
Lu Shinian’s face darkened, zooming in on the footage little by little.
Despite rational thoughts warning him that the person on screen was definitely his Ruan Ruan, he didn’t want to trust that reasoning at all.
His Ruan Ruan should be in the Physical Energy Liquid cabin, why was she here?
Lu Shinian frowned deeply, rewinding the surveillance and his voice turning hoarse.
"It seems she has already encountered the black robed person."
"I’ll go find her," Su Heyuan turned and headed out immediately.
Lu Shinian also stood up, shadows filling his eyes.
If anything happened to his Ruan Ruan, he would make the entire Rose Union pay with their lives!
————
Meanwhile, the black robed figure led Su Ruan along the narrow paths.
After going through numerous turns, they arrived in front of a basement door.
Before entering, Su Ruan felt her hairs stand on end, as if some danger awaited her.
She clenched her fists subtly.
Since emerging from the Physical Energy Liquid cabin, she clearly felt her physique had significantly improved. Even facing this black robed figure, she stood an 80% chance of winning.
The only uncertainty was whether the black robed figure had any accomplices, and how strong they might be.
Her long eyelashes trembled, she glanced at the Light Brain on her left wrist.
Her right hand hovered over the Light Brain, her fingertips slightly moving.
In the vast sea of data, Tangtang received the command from her master.
The little girl with pigtails navigated through the data flow, arriving at a small room, speaking in a childish voice: [Third Brother.]
003, who had been playing outside, rushed over upon hearing Little Seven’s call.
[Little Seven!] 003 circled around Tangtang, [When did you wake up?]
[Over a month ago.] Tangtang said obediently, tugging on her Third Brother’s sleeve, speaking childishly, [Master wants me to share the real-time location with you.]
Tangtang tilted her head, [Said you know what to do.]
Tangtang didn’t quite understand how her master knew her Third Brother would know what to do, but this was the arrangement made earlier.
If there was an emergency, her master only needed to lightly tap a certain emergency button on the Light Brain, and Tangtang would have to share her real-time location with 003.
They were all offshoots from the highest system mainframe, so sharing real-time location didn’t require smooth network signals, meaning even with strong jamming devices around, the location could still be transmitted, although there might be delays.
But some location was better than none.
After Tangtang shared her master’s real-time location with 003, she watched as 003 contacted its master.
At that moment, Lu Shinian, who was thoroughly inspecting the whole building without finding anything, received a notification from 003.
[Master, Miss Su’s real-time location.]
Lu Shinian’s eyes narrowed slightly, he opened the Light Brain to check, and its current location was surprisingly within the Imperial Palace.
"To the Imperial Palace," Lu Shinian ordered.
Beside him, Su Heyuan frowned, quickly walked up to him, and whispered, "Does it have anything to do with Your Majesty?"
"I don’t know," Lu Shinian answered straightforwardly, "but Ruan Ruan is in the Imperial Palace now."
Su Heyuan nodded, followed Lu Shinian to the Imperial Palace.
Both conducted their affairs very discreetly, their entry to the Imperial Palace didn’t catch the attention of the other three major corps.
Your Majesty, however, hearing of Lu Shinian’s initiative to visit the palace, put aside his own matters and rushed over quickly.
