Chapter 288: Chapter 288: What Happens When Baby Eats an Octopus Leg
Su Wan was still not at ease.
She specifically contacted Ouyang Qing to ask for her help in conducting a detailed physical examination on the child.
Ouyang Qing had also heard about the incident at the Deep Blue Cinema, and worried about Su Wan and the child’s safety, she immediately rushed over, all dusty from travel.
As a result, she saw Little Gu Chen sitting there with puppy dog eyes, looking super aggrieved.
Meanwhile, Su Wan had a face full of concern.
Ouyang Qing, "Xiaowan, what’s wrong? Did you get hurt inside?"
Su Wan shook her head and pointed at the things on the table, inside the plate.
"Neither Xiaochen nor I got hurt, but Xiaochen ate this, and I’m worried if there might be any problems?"
"What is this?"
"One of Lucifer’s octopus legs."
Ouyang Qing, "..."
Ouyang Qing was always a very calm and composed person, but even she was a little shaken now!
She widened her eyes and looked toward Little Gu Chen.
The werewolf baby, because mommy wouldn’t let him eat the yummy thing, was now in a sullen mood.
Unhappy, yet reluctant to blame mommy.
His two fuzzy ears drooped down.
Crouching in the corner and drawing circles.
Su Wan, "Xiaochen is okay, isn’t he? He won’t be poisoned, will it affect his spiritual power, will it cause..."
Ouyang Qing looked at the mother’s worried face.
She sighed, "As far as I know, Lucifer isn’t a toxic Beastman, nor will it have any effect on Xiaochen’s spiritual power. At most... if the food wasn’t handled cleanly, it might just give Xiaochen an upset stomach."
However, for a Super Beastman, an upset stomach was nothing serious at all.
It might be just like sneezing or farting, not a concern in the slightest.
In the end, at Su Wan’s insistence, Ouyang Qing still conducted a full-body examination on Xiaochen.
While waiting for the results to come out, the two chatted about what happened today.
Especially, Ouyang Qing was super curious, how did Xiaochen manage to chew on Lucifer’s octopus leg?
Su Wan recounted the events when they were about to leave the scene.
Ouyang Qing, "So, is Lucifer currently in the Deep Blue Cinema?"
Su Wan shook her head, "I’m not sure, previously Ajue got information that Lucifer was on N69 Star, but then this person appeared in the Deep Blue Cinema. I’ve already sent a message to Ajue, but he hasn’t replied yet."
Normally, Su Wan wouldn’t disturb Gu Jue while he was on a mission.
But this time was different.
This time Lucifer had appeared, and what’s more, their son had chewed on someone’s leg...
Ouyang Qing, "The Deep Blue Cinema has already been sealed off, and the Security Bureau has taken over. They are conducting an investigation, and I believe the results will come out soon."
Su Wan nodded her head.
After seeing Ouyang Qing off, Su Wan, while accompanying her son swimming, pondered over the cause and effect of today’s events.
Several incidents today hinted at a strong sense of discord.
First and foremost, there was no doubt that there was something wrong with the Deep Blue Cinema.
Such a significant incident had occurred today, and they hadn’t reported it to the Security Bureau in time. Additionally, right before Su Wan left, she saw that Gu Weida and Li Hao had a very suspicious look.
Su Wan watched her son swimming happily beside her, doing the backstroke back and forth.
Her brow furrowed.
Perhaps it really had something to do with the royal power.
As for the issues with the movie, as well as who exactly was colluding with the Star Thief, Su Wan could only wait for the results of the investigation from the Security Bureau.
Besides... there was also Bai Nanxi.
Su Wan remembered that several times, she deliberately lured the Insect Clan toward them.
One time, she even bumped her towards the pincers of a bug.
Whether it was a premeditated plan or a spur-of-the-moment decision, none of that mattered.
What’s important is that the other party harbors malice towards her.
Su Wan always considered herself to be someone who would exact revenge if wronged, and who was clear about love and hate.
If the other party was so fixated on her, she would not properly "return the favor" — that would truly be a disservice to Bai Nanxi’s "love at first sight" back then.

N69 Star, underground fighting arena.
Looking at the arena that had become ruins, Chu Xunyang genuinely wailed.
"Commander Gu, you never mentioned that catching a star thief would ruin my property!"
"Boo hoo hoo, I have so many people to feed, what do you expect me to do now?"
Since he was a Charm Beast, the incredibly beautiful Chu Xunyang cried heart-wrenchingly.
Even the fellow Beastmen, upon seeing this, couldn’t bear to watch, feeling that he was too pitiful.
He was obviously cooperating in the capture of a star thief.
As a result... they hadn’t caught Lucifer, only his cousin, another Octopus Beastman.
Everyone else was moved.
Gu Jue, however, was completely unaffected, his expression cold and calm, "Tidy up your property, and later on the main star, you can open a new fighting arena in District Ten."
Chu Xunyang instantly held back his tears, "Really?"
Gu Jue: "No illegal activities allowed! I will allocate you a space, plus a compensation of ten million Star Coins."
Chu Xunyang promptly wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes!
In his beautiful, big eyes, sparkles began to twinkle brightly!
"Commander Gu, you said it yourself! It’s a deal!"
Seeing the other’s demeanor, Gu Jue felt somewhat disdainful.
He walked a few steps and began to listen to the messages in his communicator, which had just regained signal.
White Tiger: "Master, I have postponed all other messages for you, but this one is extremely important!"
White Tiger: "The lady and young master were at the Deep Blue Cinema and were attacked by the Insect Clan, they were still inside when they were directly assaulted by Lucifer!"
White Tiger: "I have confirmed with Vermilion Bird, they are now safely home."
Gu Jue’s eyes narrowed instantly, and he strode toward the warship.
"Li Rui, stay here and handle the aftermath. Eric, escort Ian back to headquarters."
"Yes!"
Chu Xunyang looked around and then approached eagerly, "Commander Gu, where are you going? What about me?"
"I’m going home."
Chu Xunyang stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond to that statement.
He had never realized that this seemingly cold and heartless Commander Gu was actually so family-oriented!
The small military spacecraft slowly rose into the air.
Gu Jue entered his private resting room.
"White Tiger, connect me with Vermilion Bird. I want to holographically communicate with Wanwan."
White Tiger: "Yes!"
A few seconds later, the hologram connected.
In the projection, Gu Jue saw his charming wife swimming gracefully in the clear pool, wearing a beautiful outfit.
The golden mermaid tail lifted high, and after it fell, sprays of water scattered everywhere.
It went straight into the face of the young wolf-eared baby splashing at the side.
The little one howled with mock tears, "Mommy, meanie!"
With a slight uplift at the corners of her mouth and a flick of her hair, Su Wan saw Commander Gu’s projection on her end.
She surfaced, "Ajue, is the mission complete?"
Looking at his wife, as enchanting as a goddess emerging from the water.
Gu Jue nodded, "We caught one, but not Lucifer, it was his brother Ian. Wanwan, are you two alright?"
