Chapter 524: Chapter 524: The Wolf-Eared Boy Coos in His Mother’s Arms
If it were any ordinary seven- or eight-year-old child, they would probably be crying by now.
But Little Gu Chen remained remarkably calm as he spoke to his father through the brain-computer interface, "The flight vehicle’s core has been infected with a virus and is completely out of control. Based on the current speed, we will crash into the Barren Area in about fifteen minutes. The hatch can’t be opened, so the emergency escape has failed."
Gu Jue asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Little Gu Chen replied, "I’m going to enter the safety cabin. Dad, at the moment of the vehicle’s crash, you’ll find me before those people do, won’t you?"
Gu Jue had already boarded his vehicle with his team and he affirmed, "I will."
The incident happened too suddenly, within just a few minutes, and by the time Su Wan became aware of the situation, the vehicle carrying Little Gu Chen had already crashed near the Barren Area.
"What?!"
Su Wan handed Xiaoyan over to Luo Jina and immediately rushed outside, with Sheng An quickly following her onto a flight vehicle.
"Xiaowan, don’t worry, I heard that Commander Gu has already rushed over there. Don’t be too anxious."
Su Wan tried to calm herself quickly. She looked at the map; flying from here to the Barren Area outside the city gates would take another ten or so minutes, and a lot could happen in these ten minutes!
Just as she was about to use her space superpower, Vermilion Bird said, "Master, White Tiger has sent a message, the male master has already rescued the young master."
Upon hearing this, Su Wan finally managed to calm down completely.
A few minutes earlier, just as Little Gu Chen’s vehicle crashed, several other vehicles flew by and began strafing the wrecked vehicle.
However, a few seconds later, those vehicles were hit by several laser beams, and one of the vehicles fled in panic, while the rest were brought down.
But the fleeing vehicle didn’t get far before it seemed to develop a fault and crashed down suddenly.
A Beastman stumbled out from the crashed vehicle, trying to get away, but the next moment, his legs were frozen!
He looked up in shock to see Gu Jue with eyes cold as frost.
"Gu, Gu..."
"I’m not killing you. Go back and tell those people that I won’t let them off."
The man was stunned, shivering as he said, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, what group of people, who they are... Gu Jue, have you gone mad because your son died?"
"Who did you say died?"
The little boy’s voice, childish and soft, suddenly took on a menacing tone as purple electricity wrapped around the man, making his legs tingle and his heart contract!
The beautiful little boy, whose facial features were identical to Gu Jue’s, had a wildness in his eyes that seemed particularly striking because of his youth.
This was none other than the future king of Landis Star!
"You, you didn’t die?"
"Hmm, sorry to disappoint you," the little boy said with a devilish smile, and then the purple electricity in his hand strengthened, shocking the Beastman until his eyes were glazed over.
Gu Jue said, "Xiaochen."
Gu Chen immediately withdrew his superpower, "Oh."
Seeing Su Wan’s flight vehicle not far away, Gu Jue said, "Your mother is coming, and she’s probably very worried. Go to her; I’ll handle things here."
"Yes."
Little Gu Chen turned around, just in time to see his mother jumping down from the flying vehicle and running towards him, the fierceness in his eyes instantly vanished without a trace, and he obediently called out, "Mommy!"
The Beastman who just moments ago was nearly electrocuted by Little Gu Chen to the point of a stolen heartbeat watched in shock as the little devil nestled into Su Wan’s arms with soft whimpers.
Demon!
The father is a coldhearted demon, and the son is an even more terrifying demon!
Meanwhile, Su Wan hugged her son and carefully checked him over, finding only some scorch marks on the edge of his clothes before she felt relieved. She asked, "Xiaochen, what exactly happened?"
"These people wanted to kill me, and they tampered with my flying vehicle. The Imperial Palace event finished early today, so I went home first. Then, when I saw you hadn’t come home, I decided to go to the military department to pick you up. Then, the flying vehicle lost control."
The little guy spoke very calmly, but Su Wan listened with her heart in her throat. She would rather such things happened to her than have her son encounter them.
She gripped her son’s hand tightly, "Is there a survivor?"
"Yes, and Dad seems to know who they are."
"Hmm."
Since Gu Jue knew, Su Wan was no longer worried. She decided to take her son home first for a thorough examination, especially since the flying vehicle had crashed.
Little Gu Chen knew he was in good shape, and he could even go out and pick fights, but seeing his mother’s concern, he was happy to pretend to be weak and snuggle up to her.
After all, ever since he had gained a brother and a sister, it had been a long time since mommy had hugged and held him like this. Every time he saw mommy kising his siblings, Little Gu Chen actually felt envious.
While feeling envious, he also told himself that he had grown up and had to grow up even faster because only then would he become strong enough to protect Mommy and his sister.
But for now, let him be a little spoiled in his mother’s arms.
As he thought, wolf ears appeared on top of Little Gu Chen’s head, and the whole little wolf clung to his mother.
Su Wan, thinking her child was frightened, reached out to touch the soft hair on her son’s head and the fluffy canine ears, and suddenly said with a twinge of guilt, "I’m sorry, Xiaochen. Mommy has been so busy lately that I’ve neglected you a little."
"No, no, don’t say sorry. Besides, this incident was an accident. If anyone is to blame, it’s those bastards who tried to harm me!"
"Hmm."
Those who dared attempt to harm Xiaochen, Su Wan would not let them off!
Su Wan first returned to the military department, picked up Xiaoyan, then went to pick up Xiaoyu, and finally headed home.
Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu had both heard their brother was in danger, and the two pretty, delicate little faces were now filled with worry as they looked at Little Gu Chen. The concern from his sisters gave Little Gu Chen a warm and cozy feeling in his heart, oh, and the concern from his brother too.
Little Gu Chen waved his hand, "You guys don’t worry, I’m fine!"
Xiaoyan: "Those people, they’re all big bad guys!"
"Yes, they are all big bad guys, so in the future, I will definitely take care of them!"
Little Gu Chen actually knew that the reason they had targeted him was mainly because he was the future king of Landis Star. They thought to nip him in the bud while he was still young?
Heh, how naïve!
Not to mention that Dad arrived just in time today with his men; even if he hadn’t, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them to kill him!
Finally convinced that her son was fine, Su Wan awaited the end of Gu Jue’s workday. As he returned, she reached out to take his military coat, asking, "Is there a survivor, has it been determined who orchestrated this?"
