Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Show Off Like a Doting Wife
Fortunately, it wasn’t mealtime, so there weren’t many customers.
This helped avoid greater casualties.
However, the restaurant staff all suffered injuries to various degrees.
Particularly Head Chef Su Teng, who broke his arm and estimated that he wouldn’t be able to wield a cooking spoon for at least a month.
In the emergency ward of the medical center,
Su Teng sat there with low spirits, holding his bandaged arm, a look of depression on his face.
Su Wan approached him, "Uncle, don’t overthink it, just treat this as a vacation."
Su Teng: "But what about the restaurant?"
Su Wan: "The restaurant needs to be renovated, everyone is on leave. Once the renovations are done, let Xiaole take charge of the cooking."
Su Teng: "Why did they want to bomb our restaurant?"
Su Wan looked up at the destroyed restaurant and said softly, "Because what they wanted to bomb the most, should be me."
Su Teng quickly spoke, "Xiaowan, don’t think like that, I don’t blame you at all, it’s definitely because those bastards are too bad! With them wreaking havoc everywhere, they certainly won’t end well!"
"Hmm."
The attack on Su Family restaurant was quickly reported to Gu Jue.
Gu Jue: "Are there any casualties?"
Head of security: "Su Family restaurant’s staff got injured, and a few personnel from the security bureau suffered minor injuries. Members of the ninth squad from the Eighth Starship Fleet were unharmed, thanks to their assistance. Eight Star Thieves were eliminated on the spot, and thirteen were captured alive. However, Lucifer and that Doris got away."
"Proceed with the follow-up clean-up work, and interrogate the captured Star Thieves thoroughly."
"Yes!"
After Gu Jue put down the light-brain, he quickly communicated with his sweet wife.
Su Wan stepped out of the hospital ward and answered the call, "Ajue."
"Wanwan, are you all right?"
"I’m fine, and, I injured Doris." Su Wan remembered the little white mushroom and clenched her light-brain, "Ajue, I can now detect spatial fluctuations!"
Which means, from now on, Doris won’t be able to use her spatial superpower in front of Su Wan!
As soon as she appears, she’d alert Su Wan in advance!
Su Wan briefly recounted what had just happened.
In her words, there was a hint of light-heartedness, a touch of boasting.
"Ajue, I planted a little mushroom’s cloak into Lucifer’s mecha."
"Without unexpected, I will find a way to determine the location of their lair!"
This was a new use of the spatial superpower that Su Wan had recently discovered.
Put simply, that little mushroom was like a tracking device; she could not feel anything now because the Insectoid lair was certainly too far from the Federal Empire.
Su Wan: "I overused my spiritual power a bit today, I’ll take some rest before I try to sense it again."
Gu Jue: "Don’t rush, take it slow, make sure to rest."
Su Wan obediently responded, "Hmm, you too, be careful."
The couple chatted a while longer before Gu Jue reluctantly ended the communication, lifting his head, the warmth in his eyes vanished instantly.
He asked Li Rui, "Is the location of the Insectoid Planet confirmed?"
Li Rui: "Reporting, Commander, several fleets have already locked on the target!"
Gu Jue told the online commanders, "Just now, the Insectoids and Star Thieves launched a sneak attack on the main star, bombing the Su Family restaurant in the First Star District."
Eric: "Damn! Those bastards are crossing the line!"
The other starship fleet commanders were also furious!
They all enjoyed the Su Family restaurant’s delectable cuisine, not to mention, that restaurant belonged to their boss’s wife!
They absolutely couldn’t tolerate it!
The corners of Gu Jue’s mouth lifted in a cruel arc.
He said, "So this Insectoid planet doesn’t need to be spared."
Even if it’s not your main nest.
Just blow it up!
"Fire!"
Thus Doris, who had just escaped in a sorry state, soon received a distress communication from her subordinates.
"Your Majesty, we are under attack!"
"Your Majesty, we too are under attack, requesting support!"
"North Tower Planet is also requesting support!"
Doris, already seriously injured, spat out a mouthful of blood when she heard this!
If what Su Wan did was to personally harm Doris and Lucifer, then what Gu Jue did was to strike the strongest blow against the Insectoids’ military forces that had been built up over many years!
And that wasn’t all.
The planets occupied by the Insectoids began to be attacked by the Universe Alliance.
Either surrender.
Or, there’s no need for you to exist anymore.
Because if they weren’t completely eradicated, who knows when they would become the Insectoids’ minions and turn around to start attacking the planets of the Universe Alliance.
Just like what happened when MQ748 Planet suddenly made a move against Yuanyi Planet!
**
The entire universe was no longer safe, but the main star of the Federal Empire remained the safest place.
Sheng An, along with her mother Hua Yueran, had just disembarked from the spacecraft. She looked at the slightly pale face of her counterpart and asked, "Are you all right?"
Hua Yueran replied, "I am fine. It’s a bit better than I expected."
Maybe because she found her only daughter, Hua Yueran’s health had indeed improved considerably over the last few days.
Sheng An said, "By the way, my apartment is not very big, so you might not be used to living there."
Hua Yueran gently said, "You silly girl, we’ve been over this on the way here. The size doesn’t matter. I’m just very curious about your life, and I want to live with you. Oh, and when the time comes, I want to visit the orphanage where you lived to thank the director and the others."
She could feel that Xiao’an had been well-taught.
Having lost her child back then, Hua Yueran had always been worried. Now that she saw her growing up so excellently, Hua Yueran was filled with joy and relief.
But because of her poor health, this long journey had left Hua Yueran looking a little weary.
Sheng An quickly hired a flyer to take her mother home.
As soon as she boarded the flyer, her brain-computer interface rang.
"Xiaowan? Is it a mission?"
"No, have you already returned to the main star? I was planning to hold a reception for Auntie, but the restaurant got bombed. Pandora suggested we could go to her place, what do you think?"
Sheng An was stunned.
For a long while, she didn’t speak.
She hadn’t expected Xiaowan and the others to want to host a welcome party especially for her.
Su Wan called out, "Xiao’an?"
With misty eyes, Sheng An softly said, "My mother’s health isn’t very good, I plan to take her to the apartment to rest for a while first."
"That’s fine, you go home and rest first. We can hold the welcome party tomorrow. Ask your Auntie what she thinks."
"Okay," Sheng An, clutching the brain-computer tightly, said softly, "Xiaowan, thank you."
"What are you being polite for, don’t be a stranger," Su Wan replied.
After ending the call, Hua Yueran noticed the change in Sheng An’s expression and said with concern, "Xiao’an, does your department have a mission? Don’t worry about me, go ahead. Give me the address, and I can make my own way to your apartment."
With a smile, Sheng An said, "Mom, it’s not work-related. It’s my friends who want to hold a welcome banquet especially for you."
Hua Yueran was taken aback.
With a trembling voice, she asked, "Xiao’an, what did you just call me?"
