Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Commander Gu’s Concerns
The explosion was very powerful.
Gu Jue had just arrived with the Interstellar Warriors when the aircraft was also affected.
Fortunately, it was able to land smoothly.
As soon as the aircraft stabilized, Gu Jue rushed over without caring for anything else, Eric didn’t even stop him.
He left behind an order, "Seal off this area! Deploy rescue teams, and count the casualties!"
The explosion was too powerful.
The only consolation was that the blast occurred on the road.
White Tiger hurriedly spoke into the earpiece, "Master, Vermilion Bird asked me to tell you, the madam is fine."
Even so, Gu Jue hadn’t seen his wife safe and sound with his own eyes.
How could he be at ease?
Many houses in the area were damaged by the explosion, and the front gate of Lin Ranyue’s home was destroyed.
Thankfully, only the yard was affected a bit, and the inside was still alright.
When Gu Jue arrived, Su Wan had already taken her frightened mother into her arms.
And the children, she had the robots take them into the house, to a safe place, long ago.
They weren’t affected at all at the moment.
Lin Ranyue’s lips trembled as she said, "Su Zhen, he... "
Su Wan’s expression was sorrowful.
Lin Ranyue lifted her head, tears streaming down, and said, "Xiaowan, do you think Su Zhen turned good at the last moment?"
Even though the love was gone.
Even though, she had been hurt so badly by him before.
But with a living person gone just like that, after all, they were a couple and shared three children...
Su Wan held her mother tight, "Hmm, he said he was wrong, he ran towards that aircraft to protect us. Surely, someone forced him, trying to kill us..."
If at that time, Su Zhen had deceived them and found a way into the house.
Then it would have been them who died...
The sound of alarms went off outside, and Su Wan knew that Gu Jue and his team had arrived.
She half-closed her eyes.
This father, Su Wan truly disliked him, from childhood to adulthood, always.
As a child, watching his indifference towards her mother, the lack of concern, and later, favoring Su Man, not caring about her.
Little Su Wan’s heart grew increasingly disappointed with this father.
And during the days she lay in a coma in the nutrition pod, her father almost gave up on her many times.
Su Zhen told Lin Ranyue that the child wouldn’t wake up, suggesting they send her to a nursing home.
Later, as she grew up, every incident made Su Wan gradually realize that perhaps in her father’s heart, there really was no place for her as a daughter.
After that came the estrangement.
But now... this man chose to protect her and her mother, Lin Ranyue, at the last moment of life and death, and Su Wan’s heart felt bittersweet.
Gu Jue burst in, and on seeing that Su Wan was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Wan looked up, "Ajue, what’s the situation outside now?"
Gu Jue, "The situation is under control, casualties are being tallied."
Su Wan with her eyes half-closed, "It must have been someone who forced Su Zhen. If not unexpected, it’s either those Star Thieves or the Insectoids. Ajue, we must investigate this thoroughly!"
"Hmm."
Lin Ranyue didn’t dare ask about the situation outside, but she looked expectantly at Su Wan.
Su Wan spoke softly, "Mom, do you want to go back to your bedroom and rest? Xiao Luo and the others must be terrified, why don’t you keep them company? I’ll go take a look at the situation here, and I’ll come tell you the outcome."
Lin Ranyue glanced at the thick smoke outside.
She nodded her head.
At this time, Gu Lei, having received the news, also hurried back from school.
His heart almost stopped when he saw the house’s blasted door, but as soon as he saw that his wife was unharmed, he quickly wrapped his arms around her!
Little Mermaid Xiaoluo, looking lost by her parents’ side.
Su Wan then instructed her son, Little Gu Chen, with a few more words, telling him to stay here. Lin Ranyue was probably in a state of disarray right now, with no one to accompany the child.
Having finished these instructions, Su Wan silently followed Gu Jue out.
The street, which was once neat and tidy, was now a mess.
The ground was scorched black, and bridges in the sky were also blown apart. The walls of some houses were cracked as well.
Su Wan clenched her fists.
The next moment, Gu Jue took her hand.
Su Wan looked up at him.
At this time, Eric ran over. He was about to report, but hesitated upon seeing Gu Jue.
Su Wan spoke first, "Don’t worry about me, just say it."
Gu Jue glanced at his petite wife’s complexion and nodded.
Eric said, "At the time of the incident, people who were working or attending school weren’t at home, and those who were home were mostly taking a nap inside their houses. Therefore, there weren’t many casualties. A few individuals who were in their yards at home didn’t manage to escape and sustained minor injuries."
"Also, three flying vehicles passing by were affected, but they were not too close and were only damaged, with no fatalities."
"However... the two people on that black flying vehicle and Su Zhen... died on the spot."
Even though she had anticipated this outcome, Su Wan’s face turned pale upon hearing it.
If it had not been for Su Zhen’s last act of protecting them instead of charging towards that flying vehicle, maybe Su Wan wouldn’t have felt so terrible inside.
She bit her lip softly.
Gu Jue held her hand tightly.
He raised his head and asked Eric, "Have you figured out the cause of the explosion? What were the identities of the two people on the flying vehicle?"
Eric: "The source of the explosion was on Su Zhen. One of the other two people is the wanted criminal Du Weiwei. The other’s identity is unknown, but from the evidence collected at the scene, we know that it’s an Insectoid."
That blonde woman had used her Spatial Superpower to abduct many criminals from various planets.
It was all for this reason.
To use these people to create incidents on different planets.
They were like rats hiding in sewers, not daring to come out and directly bite the cat, but would occasionally do something to disgust and annoy you.
Su Wan said softly, "So you mean, Su Zhen was kidnapped by them, and they never left this planet!"
Gu Jue frowned deeply, "Even the port’s security had breaches!"
It looks like each department needs to be reviewed and then strengthen their control measures!
Moreover, there was the matter of the new recruits’ assessment for the First Starship Fleet.
Su Wan knew Gu Jue would be busy.
She didn’t look back at the charred remains of the flying vehicle but instead returned to see her mother.
The robots were already repairing Lin Ranyue’s home’s blasted door and walls.
Su Ni, Cecilia, and Su Yun, who had just left, all rushed over.
Everyone was very silent.
Not long ago, the whole family had gathered here to celebrate Lin Ranyue’s birthday.
Back then, who knew that the news of Su Zhen going missing would turn out to be a permanent farewell.
Everyone’s mood was very heavy,
including Su Wan.
After a while, Lin Ranyue came out of the kitchen. She poured a cup of hot tea for each of the children and said, "Go and see him off. As for the old master...I’ll go speak with him."
