Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Wishing to Carry the Baby Away in My Pocket
Gu Jue: "It’s okay, if you can’t understand it for the time being, just stop thinking about it. Perhaps after some time, it will become clear."
He kissed Su Wan’s forehead, "Tomorrow I’ll have Ouyang Qing test you again, your spiritual power is unstable again."
"Mhm."
Su Wan snuggled into Gu Jue’s arms, "Ajue, has the case been solved? Where did the insect eggs inside the cinema come from?"
Gu Jue: "The investigation showed that a staff member of Nick Film Company, who bore a grudge against Gu Tao, then wanted to tarnish the cinema’s reputation, created a type of virtual Insect Clan and embedded them into the film. Then, coincidentally, the Deep Blue Cinema staff responsible for playing the film made a mistake, causing the private rooms for you and Bai Nanxi to be swapped in position."
Su Wan: "It’s all about finding a scapegoat. Deep Blue Cinema and Nick Film Company are definitely not clean! But, what’s with this virtual Insect Clan? Could it be that the Lucifer I saw was also virtual?"
After Su Wan finished speaking, she denied her own question, "That’s not right. If he was virtual, how do you explain the leg that Xiaochen gnawed on?"
Gu Jue: "The virtual Insect Clan can harm the audience, proving that this virtuality is not just data-based but achieved through the use of cyborg technology. These Insect Clan could hurt you in the movie, and fundamentally, they are no different from the actors in the film."
Su Wan had an epiphany, "This must be a new technology from Nick Company! If this technology really exists, then it’s incredibly frightening!"
Gu Jue: "The technology probably has significant limitations, but this is also why I have now sealed off Nick Company as one of the main reasons."
The development of technology brings convenience, but it also carries some drawbacks.
Gu Jue: "Gu Tao is putting pressure on the security bureau, and they can’t withstand it anymore. Now, the First Starship Fleet has taken over the case."
Su Wan: "Gu Tao is the big boss behind Deep Blue Cinema? Is he one of your elders?"
"Yes, he is my grandfather’s cousin."
Su Wan was shocked, "Then isn’t he very old, almost two hundred years old?"
After Gu Jue’s grandfather retired, he went on a journey around the universe and his whereabouts are unknown.
Then, the position was passed to Gu Jue’s father, and later to Gu Jue’s elder brother, who is Gu Zilan’s father.
Now it’s Gu Zilan’s turn.
Gu Jue: "Gu Tao has never been content with his lot. Unfortunately, his lineage lacks outstanding individuals."
Not being able to enter the First Starship Fleet, such a person always covets the imperial power.
Su Wan said, "Actually, if they worked hard and improved themselves, they’d get closer to the imperial power. On the contrary, by not thinking of improving themselves and always looking for crooked paths, they will only get farther and farther away from the imperial power."
Gu Jue nodded, "Wanwan is really clever."
Su Wan felt a little shy, "It’s obvious, no wonder you and Zilan are both wary of them. If the Federal Empire were to fall into their hands, it might turn into a disordered mess."
The Federal Empire could even disintegrate!
The couple chatted for a while longer, and Su Wan fell asleep again in Gu Jue’s arms.
She was unaware that Gu Jue was not asleep.
He had his eyes open and watched her for a long time.
After a while, Gu Jue leaned down and kissed his sleeping wife, whispering softly, "If Lucifer’s timeline is also in disarray, then, he must have truly tried to kill you back then."
If Su Wan had died at thirteen, she would not have met Gu Jue when she was twenty.
There would also be no son Gu Chen born to them.
Gu Jue held her tenderly in his arms, his gaze turning toward the children’s room.
If he was not mistaken, Xiaochen was destined for that position in the future.
Of course, for now, Gu Jue wouldn’t say anything to his son in advance. After all, Wanwan said to let Xiaochen choose for himself whether to take that throne in the future or not.
Meanwhile, Gu Jue reminded himself that such a Lucifer must be caught sooner rather than later!
**
Deep Blue Cinema was still closed in the end.
As for when it will reopen, there is currently no exact date.
Meanwhile, Su Wan followed the routine and prepared to report to school.
Before she left for school, Little Gu Chen’s eyes brimmed with tears, his little mouth pursed, looking pitiful.
Su Wan felt so heartbroken that she wished she could stuff the little guy into her pocket and take him to school!
Gu Jue also needed to attend to official business at the military headquarters, so he scooped up his son, "I’ll take you to the headquarters."
The little wolf-eared baby’s eyes instantly lit up!
Little Gu Chen: "Is it fun there?"
Gu Jue nodded: "It’s not fun."
The little wolf-eared baby’s fluffy ears immediately drooped down.
Gu Jue whispered into his son’s ear, "Later, there will be grilled octopus legs to eat."
Little Gu Chen’s eyes instantly sparkled again, even brighter than before!
Su Wan had no idea what kind of secrets the father and son were sharing; she felt a bit uneasy.
"Ajue, won’t it be troublesome for you if Xiaochen goes along?"
Although their own son was smart and sensible, it was, after all, the military headquarters.
Gu Jue kissed the corner of her mouth, "We shouldn’t always leave Xiaochen alone at home."
Su Wan was very relieved to see Commander Gu suddenly so concerned about his son.
She first kissed the older one, then the younger, and then disembarked from the aircraft and walked towards the school.
Today, as it was the freshmen’s first day, the school entrance was bustling with activity.
This reminded Su Wan of events from a year ago.
Time flies so fast, she had become an upperclassman before she knew it.
The uniform for second-year students differed slightly from that of the freshmen, adorned with a touch of gold trim.
As Su Wan walked through the crowd, there was a lot of gossiping.
"That upperclassman is so pretty!"
"Don’t you know? She is the wife of that Commander!"
"Ah, the Commander’s wife is our schoolmate!"
Su Wan felt a bit helpless and hurried her steps to reach the dormitory.
The courses for this semester had been selected on the light brain, and Su Wan was still sharing a dormitory with Sheng An and Luo Jina.
Because of the near mishap at the movie theater, Luo Jina felt deeply apologetic towards her friends, especially Su Wan.
So, as soon as she saw Su Wan, she apologized to her.
"Xiaowan, I’m sorry, I didn’t know that cinema would be so unreliable, releasing so many insects!"
Su Wan was resigned, "You’ve been apologizing since yesterday, isn’t everything fine now?"
Luo Jina was very remorseful, "It’s okay for you, with your thick skin, but if Xiaochen had been hurt, I definitely wouldn’t be able to forgive myself!"
Su Wan could only laugh and cry at this.
She looked around and then curiously asked, "Hey, where’s Xiao’an?"
Luo Jina: "Oh, Lin Yu came looking for her a while ago, they seem to be talking about something. But I feel like there might be something between those two."
