Chapter 489: Chapter 489: By the time you wake up, I will have solved all the problems
Gu Qingyu said indifferently, "It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s just treat it as a vacation. We’ve been so busy over the years and haven’t really taken much of a break."
Gu Jue nodded, "Then you two rest some more, and when the time comes, get ready to go back to work at the medical center."
"Mhm."
"As directors."
Ouyang Qing and Gu Qingyu, the couple, suddenly froze. Logically speaking, although they were both outstanding, their seniority wasn’t enough.
How, how could they become directors?
Gu Jue narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Those old guys are getting on in years, it’s time for them to give up their positions."
Ouyang Qing exchanged a glance with Gu Qingyu. Actually, their director wasn’t that old, not even eighty yet, but who would have thought he would want to study the beloved daughter of Commander Gu.
So, it was time to retire early.
This retirement wasn’t just for a few people, but what was most important was that the Universe Alliance had previously relied on Empire planets to drive away the dangers of the universe. Now that the external dangers were eliminated, these people started getting restless.
They wanted to stir up trouble.
Since Gu Jue had returned, it was time to deal with them one by one.
After giving Su Wan a health check and helping the two children with theirs, Ouyang Qing and Gu Qingyu left, and Gu Jue had White Tiger and Vermilion Bird look after the children, while he went back to the master bedroom.
He changed out of his crisp military uniform, bathed, and put on some soft homewear. Gu Jue came to Su Wan’s side, bent down to kiss her between the eyebrows, "My Wanwan, get a good rest. When you wake up, I’ll have taken care of all the trouble."
The next day, Su Wan still hadn’t woken up, but Gu Jue had Vermilion Bird measure Su Wan’s body’s various data points. They were all normal, and her spiritual power was also steadily recovering.
The Mermaid Clan’s recovery capabilities were good, most importantly, Su Wan’s hand slip level was also very high, so it wouldn’t be long before she woke up.
Gu Jue was a bit uneasy at first and had called Ouyang Qing over, but Lin Ranyue had shown up early in the morning, brought by Gu Lei, with red-rimmed eyes, especially worried about her daughter Su Wan.
Lin Ranyue: "I originally wanted to come yesterday, but I figured you all must have had a lot of things to do."
Gu Jue: "Wanwan still hasn’t woken up. She’s in a coma from overusing her superpower, but Ouyang Qing has already checked her out. She’ll wake up after a little while."
Lin Ranyue’s heart was flipping with worry, but finally, hearing that her daughter was alright, she felt relieved.
She said, "Commander Gu, you must be very busy these days, right? I’ll stay and keep Xiaowan company, okay?"
Gu Jue knew that back when Wanwan was unconscious as a child and lying in the nutrition chamber, it was Lin Ranyue who had stayed by her side without leaving.
He still had to deal with those people, so at this time, it was best for Lin Ranyue to accompany her here.
Little Gu Chen also raised his hand and said, "Dad, I’ll take a few days off too and stay at home with Mom. I can also play with my little brother and sister!"
Gu Jue reached out to ruffle his son’s soft hair on top of his head and agreed.
After Gu Jue left, he strengthened the safety measures of the mansion, and on the other side, Lin Ranyue walked into the bedroom and looked at her daughter lying on the bed, sighing lightly.
"My dearest Xiaowan, why do you always have to encounter these things?"
Little Gu Chen came over and said in his childlike voice, "Grandma, that’s because Mommy is a very impressive person. They also said before that Mommy is a descendant of that great queen. So, Mommy must be an impressive person."
Lin Ranyue: "Yes, I understand, but as a mother, I’m just worried about my child."
"I understand, I understand. It’s like when Mommy had to go save Daddy, she was also very worried about leaving me and my little brothers and sisters."
"Right."
As Lin Ranye was there, and the children were all at home, Gu Jue let his heart rest easy and went to deal with those people.
After cleansing the military department, Gu Jue revealed to his brother Gu Yuan and his nephew Gu Zilan where he had actually gone.
"What? An Insect Nest?"
Gu Zilan was so shocked that he almost didn’t hold his cup steady, "Uncle, hurry up and tell us, what’s the situation over there? Is the entire planet filled with the Insect Clan?"
"Yes, all sorts of Insect Beasts, and the intelligent Insectoids. The Insect Clan that suddenly appeared in our universe before should have been brought here by Doris. The Insectoids must be evolved later; initially, there were only the Insect Beasts."
Gu Yuan asked, "Did they attack you?"
"Hmm, but speaking of attacks, it seemed more like they were fighting among themselves; the strongest survivor, it’s similar to the idea of raising gu. That place continuously produces Insect Clan members because one of Doris’s bodies was killed by me. So, for the short term, she hasn’t appeared there or taken any Insect Clan away."
Gu Zilan said somewhat helplessly, "Those Insectoids that Doris brought before have already given us headaches for some time. If those from the Nest were to appear here..."
Gu Jue shook his head, "They won’t come in a short period of time. Even if Doris isn’t dead, she has lost the body of the Insect Queen and is gravely injured. So, it will be tough for her to bring those Insect Clan members here from now on, at least not in large numbers."
"That’s a relief."
"Moreover, Wanwan and I have had contact with those Insectoids. Actually, their primary intention was to find a planet to survive on, not to take over other people’s planets. They were probably exploited by Doris."
Gu Zilan, having heard that these bugs wouldn’t appear in their universe, relaxed and said, "Then we don’t need to consider them for now. Uncle, have you made up your mind? Are we really going to withdraw from the Universe Alliance?"
Gu Jue: "Our population in the Empire Federation has now grown to five times what it was before. Those elites from other planets have fully integrated with us. And during the time I went missing, we also flushed out many people, including those easily incited online, all of whom can be expelled."
"Once the population stabilizes, we will all move to Landis Star."
Over the years, since regaining control of Landis Star, the construction of military bases and the development of energy resources have never stopped.
The most important thing is...
Gu Jue looked at them and said, "Black Tortoise, are they also not going to hold out for long?"
When Gu Jue mentioned Black Tortoise, he was not talking about Gu Zilan’s Mecha but the giant tortoise in the Imperial Forbidden Area of the palace.
He had mentioned before that he intended to show his son, Little Gu Chen, the secrets of the Forbidden Area because, after several years of study and training, Little Gu Chen indeed suited the throne more than Gu Ruanruan.
Gu Yuan nodded, "Yes, Black Tortoise won’t last much longer, which means our planet is also reaching its limits."
