Chapter 281: Chapter 281 After the Hazy Moonlight Filter Fell Off
Su Zhen was also completely bewildered.
Ranyue was pure human, and that Gu Lei was a snake beastman.
Their child, was likely also a snake beastman?
Are the eggs of snake beastmen this hard?
At this moment, Du Weiwei’s light brain suddenly flickered.
She looked at the message that popped up and her face instantly changed.
Du Weiwei, "Anyway, however you deal with this egg is up to you! I’ve got something to take care of, I’m out of here!"
Su Zhen was taken aback, "Weiwei, where are you going? Also, you took all my money before, what did you do with it!"
Du Weiwei frowned, feeling utterly annoyed by Su Zhen!
It’s just some stinking money, how many Star Coins are we even talking about.
Was it worth Su Zhen nitpicking over this!
However, it was very clear to Su Zhen that he now valued both Du Weiwei and the money she owed him even more.
So he immediately let go of the egg and rushed over to grab Du Weiwei by the hand, "Weiwei, you have to pay me back! Even if it’s just half, that would be enough!"
"And the other half can be considered as the property I allocated to you during our divorce."
"Also, you need to return that rare purple ore ring to me! That was the ring I proposed to Ranyue with!"
Du Weiwei couldn’t push Su Zhen away and cursed furiously, "It’s just some stinking money, and you want half back? Why don’t you just say that all combined, it wouldn’t be enough to buy a house!"
"And that ring you used to propose to Lin Ranyue, shouldn’t it be with her? You divorced her and still took the ring with you; I’ve never seen such a shameless man!"
"When you divorced Lin Ranyue, you didn’t give her anything, did you?"
"She was really blind to marry you back then! And I was blind too, thinking you’d be a good backup option for me."
Su Zhen paused, "You’ve always seen me as a backup option? Du Weiwei, you shameless woman!"
By the time Gu Jue and his men arrived, they saw the two of them fighting like dogs, scrapping with each other.
Then he decisively ordered his subordinates to capture both of them.
Meanwhile, Gu Lei stepped forward to carefully examine the egg.
Once he confirmed there wasn’t a single crack on the egg, he broke down in tears of joy!
Eric muttered softly from the side, "This is the first time I’ve seen Director Gu like this."
Gu Lei was a well-known devilish director throughout the whole Federal Empire.
Many Interstellar Warriors who had graduated from the Empire Military College had once received his harsh ’guidance’.
But now, as he embraced his recovered child, he was as excited as a kid.
Gu Jue watched the scene, and a touch of tenderness flickered through his stern eyes.
He understood the old father’s heart of Director Gu.
By this time, Su Zhen had been scared witless; he was still in a daze when the Interstellar Warriors tied him up.
However, Du Weiwei remembered that she had completely changed her appearance, even a pupil scan wouldn’t recognize her!
All she needed to do was to hide behind Su Zhen and make herself less noticeable.
But then, Gu Jue approached her, "Du Weiwei, where is Lucifer?"
Upon hearing this, Du Weiwei’s legs went soft, and she stammered, "Commander, I don’t know what you are talking about..."
Gu Jue’s gaze was calmly directed towards the stunned Su Zhen.
"Su Zhen, did you steal the egg, or was it Du Weiwei who stole it?"
Su Zhen suddenly came to his senses as if his soul had snapped back into place; he jolted and immediately pointed at Du Weiwei and said, "It was Du Weiwei! She and her friend took advantage of the time I was chatting with Ranyue and snuck in to steal the child!"
Du Weiwei cursed, "Su Zhen, you bastard, wasn’t it you who used the vase to smash the egg just now?"
Su Zhen immediately retaliated, "I was coerced by you! You even released insects in Ranyue’s house!"
The two of them were cursing each other, nowhere was there still the tender affection of the once cherished bygone love.
Perhaps such tenderness had existed once.
But after so many events, the filter of the cherished moon had been thoroughly polished away.
At last, there was nothing left but feathers scattered on the ground.
Just at that moment, a thick snake tail suddenly swept over!
It directly knocked Du Weiwei and Su Zhen to the ground!
The other Interstellar Warriors looked on, then turned around and gazed outside.
Hmm, the weather is nice today.
Commander Gu merely said in an even tone, "Don’t beat them to death, they’re still useful."
Gu Lei nodded gloomily, "Fine."
No father could contain such rage!
These people, they had stolen his child and even attempted to smash the cradle with a vase... not to mention, Gu Lei was never a man of good temper.
Gu Jue stepped out of that room, then squinted and looked around.
Lucifer was not here.
This slippery octopus had managed to escape once again.
It seemed that Lucifer had also given up on Du Weiwei.
Gu Jue contacted Su Wan to tell her they had found the child and not to worry anymore.
Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness they were found. Was it Su Zhen who took the child?"
"Yes. But, there are matters involving the Star Thieves to deal with, I’ll bring them back for interrogation later."
Su Wan was curious, "Then why not take them back now for immediate investigation and interrogation?"
As Gu Jue listened to the screams from inside the room, he said: "They’re currently getting whipped by a snake tail."
Gu Jue, considerate as ever, even had the White Tiger amplify the sound.
Then, Su Wan could clearly hear Su Zhen’s agonized screams.
Su Wan: "..."
It was truly pitiful.
But, even though this man was her biological father in theory, Su Wan still had to say, he deserved it!
Once the child was found, Lin Ranyue couldn’t help but cry from excitement.
The people Gu Jue sent to Lin Ranyue and Gu Lei’s home also came back with results; other than the insects previously found, there were no other insects, not even eggs.
After all, Gu Lei was a snake Beastman with a high Beast Transformation Level.
The Insect Clan possesses an instinct for seeking benefits and avoiding harm; under normal circumstances, they certainly wouldn’t dare go to Gu Lei’s house.
This indicated that someone had maliciously placed them there.
And Gu Jue’s guess wasn’t wrong; Du Weiwei had indeed been abandoned by Lucifer.
All she knew was that three hours ago, Lucifer was also on the main planet.
As for where the other party had gone now, that was unknown.
However...
Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, "I’ve already stationed people at the port; he definitely hasn’t left here yet."
Upon seeing this, Su Wan knew that her husband was going to work overtime again.
However...
She said, "What will happen to Su Zhen?"
Gu Jue replied, "He probably doesn’t know about the Star Thieves. However, Gu Lei is not likely to let him off easily."
Su Wan did not continue to ask.
After all, what Su Zhen had done this time was truly beyond the pale.
He might not have colluded with the Star Thieves, but he wasn’t entirely innocent either.
Now it seemed that Su Zhen wouldn’t be judged too harshly. This way, Grandpa’s heart might not be too heavy.
Before heading off to the military department, Gu Jue leaned down to kiss his delicate wife’s forehead.
He said, "In this time before school starts, try to stay at home as much as possible. Lucifer is a very dangerous person."
