Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Forcibly Breaking into the Commander’s Residence?
Su Wan hadn’t noticed all this, she packed everything else into the space button, and lastly shoved the box containing Little Mushroom into it as well.
Hand in hand with Gu Jue, she walked towards the lake, letting the water slowly engulf their bodies.
"Wanwan, don’t force yourself. If it’s really not possible, just let go of my hand,"
"Don’t even think about it."
In the end, a bright golden light enveloped the two of them and eventually, they disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, the Insect Clan members who were still worshipping the Insect God looked up in confusion. Why could they no longer sense the presence of the Insect God?
**
The pressure from the Universe Alliance on Gu Zilan grew increasingly intense, and Gu Zilan was so enraged that he was already prepared to break away from the Universe Alliance.
Fortunately, within the military, although some people in other departments had their own selfish motives, the Royal Star Fleet remained united as one, preventing anyone from betraying Gu Jue.
As for the children, the relatives and friends who were close to Su Wan were also firmly united, and none would assist those from the Beastman Research Center.
In the end, Lin Yue and Yabo even approached Gu Lei, who was the Vice Chancellor of Empire University.
Gu Lei showed no surprise when he saw them.
Lin Yue said, "Gu Lei, others might let it slide, but you should know that if Plantmen really do exist, not thoroughly investigating and understanding them could bring about a catastrophe to us all!"
Gu Lei looked up at her, "Didn’t the Insectoids also appear abruptly? And what was the result? They were beaten into utter defeat by Gu Jue and his men! I know what you’re after, but I won’t agree to it. You also know my temper. If things really escalate, I don’t recognize any kin."
"You!"
Lin Yue was about to say more, but Yabo tugged at her hand and then said with a forced laugh, "Hey, we’re all just looking out for the best interests of the Empire Federation. Since Gu Lei seems to have some misunderstandings, let’s leave for now."
Lin Yue looked at Gu Lei coldly, "Do you really love that woman so much? For her, you changed your surname; for her children, you would rather offend us?"
Gu Lei chuckled lightly, "What are you to me?"
At that, Yabo’s expression also started to slip. After all, both of them were quite important figures in the Empire Federation. Unless Gu Lei became the Chancellor of the Divine Empire University, he wouldn’t be on equal footing with them.
And now as a mere Vice Chancellor, he dared to...
But the crux of the matter was, neither of them could do anything about Gu Lei’s direct and uncompromising attitude. In the end, they could only leave in anger.
Once outside, Lin Yue’s expression twisted with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "This Gu Lei, with such an awful temper and so utterly stubborn, is he now clinging to the Gu Family’s coattails? But it’s been so long, if Gu Jue doesn’t come back, can Gu Zilan really hold onto his position?"
Yabo looked around nervously, then whispered, "Calm down, let’s not talk about this now. We’re just here to conduct research. Those matters of power up there have nothing to do with us. Besides, you’re now criticizing Gu Lei, but didn’t you used to like him, even wanted to marry him?"
She wanted to marry him, but he had rejected her!
Lin Yue said with a stern face, "Never bring that up again!"
Just then, someone sauntered up to them. They immediately clamped their mouths shut. The newcomer had blue hair that flowed elegantly and wore an eye-catching white lab coat.
Yabo recognized him; it was Lan Yu, who was obsessed with medical science.
Lan Yu was famously passionate about medicine and research. When he saw Yabo, he greeted him since Yabo had been his teacher before.
"Teacher Yabo, what brings you to Empire University?"
"Oh, it’s all because of the Plantman incident. It’s such a pity, Vice-Chancellor Gu doesn’t show any sympathy at all. Sigh... Lan Yu, you share a love for research and medicine, you should understand our difficulties, right? Can you think of any way to help us?"
Lan Yu still had that lazy, indifferent attitude as he yawned and said, "Actually, it’s quite simple."
"Hurry, do tell!"
"Once Xiaowan and Commander Gu return, you reason with them and appeal to their emotions. If they agree, then surely there will be no problem."
Yabo: "..."
On the other side, Lin Yue had already taken off; she felt that none of these people were normal in their heads!
They were only acting so boldly because Commander Gu was not back yet. Once he returned, they wouldn’t dare to speak out!
Unless Commander Gu and his wife willingly sent their child to the Beastman Research Center!
But was that likely?
Following a visit to Empire University, both Yabo and Lin Yue returned home full of suppressed anger, helpless against the hands of all parties. But as time ticked by, someone finally concocted a malicious plan.
It involved rallying online calls urging the Royal Star Fleet, as Gu Jue’s direct command, to take off for every corner of the universe in search of Gu Jue’s whereabouts.
Anyone who didn’t participate was branded an ungrateful traitor from the Royal Star Fleet.
Meanwhile, others were discreetly supporting the rival restaurants to the Su Family’s restaurant, trying to crush it in a short period of time.
The Su Family patriarch had once again taken over the management of their restaurant, and even with the celebrity pull of his grandson Su Ni, they still faced encirclement from competitors.
Occasionally, some branches even experienced incidents like bugs being found in the food.
Things escalated terribly as huge crowds began protesting outside Commander Gu’s residence, taking advantage of the fact that both Su Wan and Commander Gu were not at home, brazenly making their demands.
Although most people were clear-headed, there was no denying a portion of them had been brainwashed.
Luckily, they could not break in, or else they would have stormed into Commander Gu’s residence!
Still, someone stood in front of the door’s camera screen, loudly saying, "Commander Gu’s wife, someone died after eating at your restaurant. You cannot abuse your status as the Commander’s wife and act so recklessly!"
"Exactly!"
At that moment, the screen that had been black sizzled a few times before Gu Jue appeared in his military uniform.
In an indifferent tone, he said, "Leave within three minutes. My wife is resting. Whoever wakes her, I won’t be polite!"
The man who had been shouting stupefied. His legs gave out, and he suddenly knelt down.
People beside him held him up and then boldly said to Gu Jue, "Commander Gu, are you really at home? Is, is this a recording you made earlier?"
Gu Jue in the video, with half-lowered eyes, said, "You have two minutes and twenty-eight seconds left."
