Chapter 310: Chapter 310: The Commander Doesn’t Want to See Wanwan Sad
Gu Jue: "No need to thank me, we’re all family."
Gu Lei nodded his head with much gratitude.
Now, the entire Mu Family mansion was surrounded by Interstellar Warriors.
The principal members of the Mu Family were all taken into custody.
However, people like Gu Qingyu, Su Xiaoge, and their mother Sun Huan, who were obviously not involved in this matter, were not affected.
Besides, the order was given by the old patriarch of the Mu Family himself.
Although others had temporarily lost their freedom, they wouldn’t suffer any harm.
Gu Jue walked into an antique-style hall.
The furniture in the room was all wooden, and even the lighting was done in the style of simulated chandeliers.
It had to be said that the Mu Family really had a penchant for the retro style.
Upon seeing Gu Jue come in, the decadent patriarch of the Mu Family, who was sitting there, had a frightened look on his face.
The next moment, when he saw Gu Lei behind Gu Jue, his expression became very subtle.
Gu Jue spoke up: "Old Master Mu, who gave you that Poisonous Insect?"
After the failure of their plan, the old Master Mu had not considered hiding the truth.
He said, "It was a man in black who handed it to me. He mentioned that the thing wouldn’t harm anyone, and I had it checked."
Gu Jue: "Who is this man in black? What does he look like, did you know him before?"
The Mu Family didn’t have surveillance equipment, so there was no image of that man in black.
The old Master Mu roughly described the appearance of the other party.
He said, "I don’t recognize him; I haven’t seen him before."
Gu Jue’s eyes half-closed.
This man in black must be the same one who had incited Bai Nanxi from the Bai Family!
Gu Jue: "You don’t recognize him, so why did he come looking for you?"
Old Master Mu: "I..."
He raised his head, looked at Gu Lei sitting beside him who remained silent, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It was because he knew I was worried about producing excellent heirs for the Mu Family! Then he gave me these two things!"
Gu Jue said nothing.
Instead, it was Gu Lei who spoke up with a very low and sorrowful voice.
"So you accepted that thing and then sent the Mu housekeeper to look for Ranyue at my place, right?"
The old Master Mu still tried to maintain his elder’s demeanor.
He said, "Xiaolei, this is all your fault! If you hadn’t insisted on changing your surname, none of this would have happened!"
"Why would I want to change my surname? Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question? At first, you all refused my marriage to Ranyue, and you despised and made life difficult for her at every turn. Now that you see she has borne me a son, you are trying every possible means to make the child take your surname, even resorting to using a despicable tactic like using a Poisonous Insect on Ranyue!"
Faced with Gu Lei’s accusation, the old Master Mu also felt a bit guilty.
His eyes shifted around, not daring to meet Gu Lei’s gaze.
He said, "I had it checked; the thing does no harm to anyone, and I ingested it myself too!"
Gu Lei scoffed coldly: "You ingested the mother insect, merely wishing to control Ranyue and thereby achieve the goal of controlling me!"
The old Master Mu opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t know what else to say.
Gu Lei: "Mu Qingfeng, from now on, do not come to me for any matters concerning the Mu Family; I will not help the Mu Family in any way again!"
Having said that, he got up and walked outside.
The old Master Mu was stunned in place.
He wanted to follow, but Gu Jue stretched out his hand and stopped him.
"Old Master Mu, that man in black is Star Thief Lucifer."
The elder of the Mu family stood frozen in place, "Impossible!"
Gu Jue, "You wanted offspring for yourself, a matter that we should not concern ourselves with, but you’re suspected of colluding with the Star Thief; you will have to face prosecution from the Interstellar Court. Furthermore, the descendants of the Mu Family will no longer be allowed to enter the military."
In an instant, the elder’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground!
In the future, was the Mu family doomed?
Seeing Gu Jue turning to leave, the elder immediately cried out in a pleading tone, "Commander Gu, it was my fault! I was hot-headed and made a foolish mistake. I am willing to accept the prosecution from the Interstellar Court!"
"But the children of the Mu family are innocent! You can’t destroy their futures because of this!"
Gu Jue turned his head, looking at him coldly and indifferently.
"The one who ruined their futures is you, not me. However, if they are willing to abandon the Mu surname and are truly outstanding, I might be willing to make an exception."
The elder of the Mu family, "..."
That last statement truly stabbed him in the heart.
Gu Jue knew exactly what mattered most to the elder and purposefully struck at his weak spot!
Lin Ranyue was Wanwan’s mother.
She was the most important person to Wanwan!
If anything happened to Lin Ranyue, Wanwan would definitely be heartbroken!
Gu Jue gave the elder one last cold glance and then stepped out.
At that moment, his light brain rang, a communication from Eric.
"Boss, I’ve checked all the places the man in black was seen. Unless there are several Lucifers, there’s no way to explain how he could have appeared in so many places in such a short period of time!"
Gu Jue narrowed his eyes.
Could there be several Lucifers?
**
The first round of the five-school joint examination had already begun.
Adolf read out the rules, "The first event is a cross-country physical training exercise, which will start at this point and finish at the end point, with many obstacles set up in between. The score will be based on the entire team from each school reaching the finish line together. In other words, all five members of a school’s team must arrive at the end point simultaneously to qualify. Additionally, there are some hidden elements. Has everyone understood?"
"Understood!"
The uniforms of Empire University, where Su Wan was, were white with gold trim, and paired with black military boots.
Moreover, people from the Federal Empire are accustomed to hiding their animal traits normally.
As a result, in a crowd of students, they looked very similar to those from Davis University.
The uniforms of Davis University were dark blue, and their team leader was Qian Kang.
He glanced over and immediately noticed that the team from Empire University was the only one that felt slightly more comfortable to him.
Qian Kang approached Su Wan and the others, offering his hand, "Hello, my name is Qian Kang."
Su Wan shook his hand, "Hello, I’m Su Wan."
Qian Kang, "I know you, you’re a purebred human, the wife of Commander Gu."
His tone was filled with respect and goodwill.
Su Wan felt a bit guilty, knowing she wasn’t actually a purebred human.
But as the other party extended goodwill, Su Wan gladly accepted it.
She smiled and said, "I’m here as a student to participate in the joint examination of the five schools. The status of the commander’s wife can be set aside for now."
"Alright, good."
The uniforms of Yuanyi University were black with blue, and each person had a pair of large wings on their back.
They were cold and aloof, not interacting with anyone.
As expected, the students from Siren University and Prys University gathered together.
Lan Rui did not look in the direction of Empire University.
Gill was chattering beside her ear about something.
The girl with rabbit ears, Julia, had red-rimmed eyes as she watched Gill attentively trying to impress Lan Rui.
