Chapter 487: Chapter 487: Return, Settling Accounts One by One!
As the countdown continued, with just one and a half minutes remaining, the protective layer of Commander Gu’s residence opened, revealing countless photon cannon muzzles, ready to attack!
Upon seeing this, the rabble nearly wet themselves in fear. Someone, trying to appear brave while inwardly scared, shouted while running, "Commander Gu, you are the Chief Commander of our Empire, how can you point your guns at us, ordinary citizens!"
"If you can come to my house to cause trouble, what’s wrong with me pointing my guns at you?"
"Also, thirty-five seconds left."
Where could those people dare to make any more peeps? Each of them ran for their lives so fast that in the blink of an eye, not a single one was left.
Truly a bunch of cowards and trash afraid of death.
Gu Jue, rolling up his sleeves, asked White Tiger, "Record the images of these people, pull up their personal information, and then expel them all from Empire Main Star."
"Yes."
Gu Jue knew there must be a pile of things happening at the military department, but he still went to the bedroom first and tenderly kissed his delicate wife on the forehead as she lay in bed.
The once again completely drained Su Wan looked extremely pale. With her spiritual power and superpower both depleted, it would probably take some time before she could recover.
Gu Jue gave her a special relief medicine and said to Vermilion Bird, "Vermilion Bird, take good care of Wanwan at home. If there’s any problem, contact me immediately."
"Yes, master."
"If someone tries to break in forcefully, launch a protective shield attack immediately."
"Yes!"
After making sure everything was in order, Gu Jue stood up, boarded his flyer, and headed straight for the military department.
Meanwhile, someone had already uploaded the event to the internet. Still, most people believed that it was a pre-recorded message from Commander Gu. After all, he had disappeared for so long; how could he return home without any warning signs?
At the same time, in the central conference room of the military department, a fierce argument was unfolding.
Eric sneered, "My lord, you sure are amusing. If we send the entire Royal Star Fleet to search for Commander Gu, who will handle the defense of Empire Main Star?"
"Other star fleets can take the responsibility. Some of them are quite excellent. They just lost many opportunities that had been seized by the Royal Star Fleet, that’s all."
"Heh, since you’re so aggrieved, why didn’t you say this when Commander Gu was here, instead of waiting until now?"
"No need for sophistry. Isn’t our most important task right now to find Lord Commander Gu?"
These people were playing Tai Chi under the guise of wanting to find Gu Jue, but in reality, they wanted to take the opportunity to seize total control over the military forces of the Empire Planet!
Li Rui’s eyes were half-lowered as he said, "Commander Gu once arranged for us special mission directives in case of emergencies, which prioritized the protection of the Main Star. As long as he remains the Chief Commander of our Royal Star Fleet, we follow his orders."
The other star fleet commanders firmly agreed with this.
Gu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Gotta say, those Interstellar Warriors trained by Ajue sure are outstanding!
The other star fleet commanders exchanged looks.
One of them cleared his throat and began, "The Royal Star Fleet has numerous personnel. It’s a waste of resources and energy for them to protect the planet every day without saying a word. So, how about we suspend six out of the eight fleets and leave just two for the defense of the Main Star? That would be more than enough, right?"
"Exactly, this way we can conserve energy and resources."
Gu Yuan’s face darkened. These damn fools just don’t give up, do they?
Just as he was about to speak, the conference room doors were slowly opened. Gu Jue, dressed in a neat military uniform and black military boots, walked in at a leisurely pace.
The entire meeting room suddenly fell silent!
Eric was the first to stand up, and he said excitedly, "Boss, you’re back!"
The other commanders of the Royal Star Fleet also sprang to their feet, all of them very excited.
Gu Yuan was no exception, as he quickly stepped down from his seat and walked up to his brother, Gu Jue, his excitement rendering him somewhat incoherent. In the end, he only managed to say, "Xiaowan went to find you, did you know that?"
Gu Jue: "Yes, we came back together, we’re both fine."
Gu Yuan nodded vigorously, that was all that mattered; both of them returning safely was better than anything else!
Gu Jue strode to his seat and looked at those with flickering gazes. He spoke in a calm tone, "Li Rui, take control of them and remove their brain-computers."
"What? Chief Commander, you can’t..."
Li Rui and others had been displeased with these people for a while, and promptly took control of them, removing their brain-computers.
The man being detained by Eric said excitedly, "Gu Jue, on what grounds do you arrest me? Our family is one of the oldest in the Empire Federation! Without us, the Gu Family could never have secured this position!"
Gu Jue’s eyes were half-lidded, "Rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate whether you have done those things. Take them away!"
"Yes!"
Amongst these people, some harbored traitorous intentions, some were opportunists, and others were the timid who chose sides out of fear.
No matter, he was back now, and all scores would be settled, one by one, slowly!
The news of Gu Jue’s return was immediately known to everyone, and the members of the Ninth Squad quickly sent messages to Su Wan, but she had not returned yet.
Finally, Pandora and Sheng An ran directly to see Gu Jue and asked about Su Wan’s situation.
Gu Jue was in the middle of a conference via brain-computer, but he moved the brain-computer screen aside and told them, "Wanwan is very tired, she’s resting now. Once she has rested, she will be able to come back and work with you."
"Mhm!" Sheng An was extremely happy, and after thinking for a bit, she said, "Commander Gu, if Xiaowan is currently inconvenient to use the brain-computer, maybe you could tell Aunt Lin and the others, they are all really worried about Xiaowan."
"I just told her."
Hearing this, Sheng An and Pandora were completely reassured, and they no longer disturbed Gu Jue. The two returned to the squad’s office and shared the good news with everyone!
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief; after worrying for so long, they could finally take a breath.
Yet, because Gu Jue and Su Wan returned, their friends and family were relieved, but some who had been bustling about happily during this period suddenly changed their expressions.
They initially thought that Gu Jue wouldn’t take any action, but in less than a day, those who behaved improperly during Gu Jue’s disappearance were controlled by Gu Jue’s people.
In the end, Gu Jue arrived at the medical center director Yabo’s office and stopped Yabo who was about to walk out.
Yabo had already received the news, and he was very surprised and afraid, but then he thought that he hadn’t done anything to Commander Gu’s child and nothing had succeeded, right?
The moment he stepped out, he saw Gu Jue, clad in neat military attire, standing in front of his office door.
Yabo smiled sheepishly, "Commander Gu, when did you return?"
Gu Jue was adjusting his gloves, saying, "I just got back. There’s something I’d like to ask Director Yabo."
"What is it? Please talk, you just say."
