Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Baby is Afraid of Daddy
"This isn’t a place for talking, you come with me somewhere else."
Yabo didn’t want to go, but with a line of Interstellar Warriors standing behind Gu Jue, he hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
Gu Jue actually took him straight to the Beastman Nurturing Base, where they saw Lin Yue coming out of the laboratory.
Lin Yue was a little older than Gu Jue. She had been a senior to both Gu Jue and Gu Lei. She watched Gu Jue quietly, her demeanor still calm and collected, "Commander Gu, you’ve returned."
"Yes, I probably let a lot of people down."
"..."
Gu Jue stepped into Lin Yue’s office, reached out to activate the virtual screens, and looked at row after row of Beastman research data.
He chuckled softly, "Senior Lin has indeed inherited your grandfather’s legacy."
Lin Yue said, "Gu Jue, whether it’s for the research on Beastmen or Plantmen, it’s all for the good of our Federal Empire! The exclusive medicines you Beastmen take, and the medicines you use when your spiritual power is unstable, they were all developed by us!"
"But, you also used Beastmen for your experimental research. When I was a child, one of my companions fell gravely ill, but he wasn’t dead, although his family had already given up on him. Then, your grandfather took him for experiments."
Lin Yue clenched her fists, "But after my grandfather passed away, he completely turned into a Beastman and donated himself for research!"
"But your grandfather did it voluntarily. Over the years, what about those children who grew up in the Beast Transformation Nurturing Center? Did they volunteer to be experimental subjects?"
Gu Jue’s voice was very cold, which frightened Yabo into shivering.
Lin Yue looked at Gu Jue with some trepidation. She said, "In the early years, there were indeed some... But since I took over, I have never done such a thing again. I always let them volunteer!"
"Then, my children, did they volunteer?"
Lin Yue was immediately stuck.
She frowned and said, "Your children could possibly be the first Plantmen in the universe, which is different from Beastmen! We need to study the mutation directions of Plantmen well, to see if they will harm us Beastmen! Gu Jue, it’s all for the entire Interstellar Federation!"
"Ha, have I not made enough contributions to the Interstellar Federation? What happens as a result? Taking advantage of my absence, what have you all been doing?"
In Gu Jue’s eyes, there was a deep hostility. He was never a mild-tempered person, and this time, what these people had done had crossed his line!
Gu Jue stood up and said to the shivering Yabo beside him, "I will propose to the council that the medical center and the Beastman Research Nurturing Center will merge into a medical institution. You two discuss who will go home and retire."
After leaving these words, he turned and walked away.
Lin Yue ground her teeth, "Gu Jue, you can’t!"
Gu Jue didn’t stop his pace and strode out.
If he wanted to, he could do it!
He didn’t pursue the dark things done by the Beast Nurturing Center in the past, but after being quiet for a few years, they started being restless again and even targeted his children?
Over there, Gu Jue had arranged everything. He even dispatched some people specifically to help at the Su Family restaurant and finally went to the Imperial Palace to pick up the children.
Gu Zilan was very happy. If it weren’t for the sake of etiquette, he would have hugged his little uncle and cried.
But Little Gu Chen didn’t have so many concerns. He reached out and hugged his father, sobbing, "Dad, you’ve finally come back!"
Gu Jue: "Beastman men of the Wolf Clan can’t cry!"
The little wolf-eared boy: ...
Alright, this must be his real dad, the chilly tone is all too familiar.
Little Gu Chen wiped his tears, then said, "Where’s mom? She went to find you, did you see her?"
"Yes, we came back together, she’s resting at home. I’m here to take you all back."
"Okay! Dad, let me take you to see my sister and brother!"
Gu Jue hummed in response and allowed his eldest son to pull his hand, walking towards a palace where they had previously stayed. One of the rooms here had been converted into a children’s room.
In the delicate little pond beside them, there swam a beautiful golden-tailed little mermaid.
That golden tail was exactly a smaller version of Su Wan’s golden tail.
And the little one had a head of blonde hair, but his eyes and brows were very much like Gu Jue’s. To some extent, he resembled both his mom and dad, the opposite of his brother Little Gu Chen.
In their beast-transformed forms, Little Gu Chen was completely like his dad Gu Jue, whereas Little Gu Yu was entirely like his mom Su Wan.
Although Gu Jue wasn’t particularly fond of his son, looking at the miniature version of Wanwan with the golden tail, his eyes softened, as he knelt by the pond.
The little mermaid swam over, her beautiful big eyes curiously sizing up Gu Jue.
Little Gu Chen said from the side, "Brother, let me introduce you, this is our dad!"
The little mermaid slowly blew out a bubble, sorry, but he had never seen dad before, and dad didn’t have a fishtail!
On his part, Gu Jue reached out to touch the child’s head, and then he stood up and looked over at the baby crib.
In the soft baby crib lay a black-haired, black-eyed baby girl, hugging a Little Mushroom. On seeing Gu Jue for the first time, she looked a bit scared and shrank back a little.
Commander Gu’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat hurt. His precious little daughter was actually afraid of him...
At this time, Little Gu Chen approached again and said to his sister who was hugging the Little Mushroom, "Xiaoyan, this is our dad! Even though he doesn’t have a fishtail or a mushroom, he really is our dad."
Gu Jue silently gazed at his eldest son.
But Xiaoyan still seemed a bit scared. Gu Jue stood up, deciding to take the three children home.
Now that Gu Jue was back, Gu Zilan arranged for someone to send them home. He said in a sneaky tone, "Uncle, those people who have been jumping around these days, I’ve noted them all down. I’ll send you a list later."
"Mm," Gu Jue patted him on the shoulder and turned to look at his older brother, saying, "Thank you for your hard work during this time."
"What hard work? When there’s trouble in the Gu Family, aren’t we supposed to look after each other?"
Originally, Gu Yuan intended to have Gu Jue stay at the Imperial Palace to ask about his recent experiences, but as Gu Jue was still worried about Su Wan at home, he decided to take the children and head back first.
Before leaving, Gu Jue had already asked the couple Ouyang Qing and Gu Qingyu to check Su Wan’s health. Even though Su Wan said she’d be fine after some rest, Gu Jue was still uneasy.
Ouyang Qing put down the instruments and said to Gu Jue, who had just come home, "Xiaowan’s health is good. If she rests at home for half a month, she should be alright. It’s just that for a short period, it is best not to use any superpowers."
"Mm, from what I heard, have both of your work stopped?"
