Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 34 Waiting for Dr. Jing to praise him

When Marshal Lu called, Chen Yan was stationed outside the courtyard. As soon as he answered, he heard Marshal Lu ask him, "Is your general still with Doctor Jing?"

Chen Yan turned around and glanced into the courtyard, subconsciously covering his mouth and nose, and lowered his voice very low, "Yes, Marshal, the admiral hasn't come out yet."

"Didn't they say he'd be back to normal once his spirit returned to his body? Why is he still clinging to Dr. Jing? This is outrageous!"

Chen Yan still whispered, "Subordinate..."

"Speak louder!"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then raised his voice slightly to explain to Marshal Lu, "I just heard the Admiral being scolded before he came in. It seems it was because he disturbed the little mermaid experiment that Doctor Jing was raising, so I..."

On the other end of the communicator, Marshal Lu paused after hearing this, and then, as if possessed by some mysterious force, he slowed down his tone. "I called him, but he didn't answer. So you should go in and tell him that the President has heard about what happened today and has summoned Nuo Wei to the palace. Ask him to go to the palace as soon as he finishes his business."

"...I understand."

Chen Yan put away the communicator and walked to the door of the house in the courtyard. After thinking for a while, he tried to knock on the door gently.

But I didn't expect that the person who came out to open the door was not Dr. Jing.

Chen Yan saw the door open and General Lu holding a bottle in his hand. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "General..."

"Close the door."

After Lu Lianbai finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Chen Yan closed the door and noticed that the bedroom door was closed. He subconsciously slowed down his pace and followed Admiral Lu to the kitchen behind the curtain. Thinking that the President was still waiting, he quickly continued, "Admiral, just now the Marshal--"

"I'll talk to you when I'm done."

Lu Lianbai's voice was solemn and cold, as if he was currently carrying out a task that required his full concentration, and he had no time to spare to listen to other important tasks.

Chen Yan looked at General Lu, then looked at the full-system light screen projected in front of General Lu.

On land, we will strictly follow the standard ratio of milk powder in the tutorial on the light screen and implement the ratio to the millimeter.

As he watched, Chen Yan seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he remained silent.

So, he waited by the side the whole time, watching Lu Shangjiang finish making the milk powder and check the temperature of the bottle again to confirm that the temperature was accurately controlled, and then he walked out of the kitchen with the bottle.

Lu Lianbai stood outside the door, the milk bottle in his hand looking like his trophy. He spoke in a calm tone with a hint of barely perceptible pride, "Jing Weimian, I'm done."

After a while, the bedroom door was opened from the inside. Jing Weimian stretched out a hand to take it, and then closed the door without saying a word.

General Lu was left standing outside the door indifferently.

Chen Yan, who was standing at the back, touched his nose.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually felt that the expression and tone of the general Lu when he handed the bottle to Dr. Jing just now was as if he was showing off his ability to make milk powder to Dr. Jing and waiting for Dr. Jing to praise him...

Lu Lianbai, who was lost in thought and frustrated, turned around with a sullen face and finally looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Chen Yan suddenly came back to his senses, stood up straight and reported to him, "Marshal Lu just called and said that the President asked you to go to the palace."

Lu Lianbai frowned for a moment, but when he realized that he really needed to leave to deal with those things, he looked towards the door and said to the people inside, "I have something to take care of. I asked Chen Yan to guard outside the yard. If you need anything, you can tell him directly. I will come over when I am done--"

As soon as he finished speaking, as expected, he received a cold "Get out" from the person in the room.

Two minutes later, Lu Lianbai emerged from the courtyard and calmly instructed Chen Yan, "Continue to strengthen patrols along the Old Street. Notify me immediately of any developments."

On the way to the palace on the starship, Lu Lianbai called his acquaintance at the Star Supervision Bureau.

"Brother Lu?"

"Li Peng, the agricultural trade zone is under your jurisdiction, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong, Brother Lu?"

"I need your assistance in investigating a kidnapping case. Please quickly review all the surveillance footage near the Agricultural Trade Zone this morning."

Lu Lianbai informed Li Peng of all the relevant suspicious clues, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became on the other end of the line. From what Admiral Lu said, what was the difference between this and naming Gu Jiazhen, the daughter of an earl, as a kidnapping suspect?
The point is, hasn't there been a rumor on the capital planet over the past two years that the two are about to get married? Why is General Lu now actually wanting to arrest them?

Li Peng didn't dare to ask in detail. After hanging up the phone, he quickly called his men together to start an investigation.

……

the other side.

In a remote star region far away from the capital star, the surroundings were silent, and a small gray-black spaceship was parked above the mountains and forests.

Gu Jiazhen was completely panicked after receiving the news from His Highness Nuo Wei.

"That cat...how could that cat be Lu Lianbai's spirit body..."

Gu Jiazhen had never imagined that the pet protected by that little brat would actually be Lu Lianbai's lost spirit body...

Now that her spirit body had returned to Lu Lianbai's body, Lu Lianbai had always been quite cold towards her. How could he possibly believe her now that he had regained consciousness...

Mu Ling: "I will confess on behalf of the young lady and say that I was the mastermind behind everything and that the young lady was unaware of it!"

"Do you think they will believe it? Didn't you see how Lu Lianbai treated Jing Weimian? After being treated by her for two days, it was like he was drugged. All he could see was her. Do you think Lu Lianbai believes her or me now?"

Gu Jiazhen was becoming increasingly irritated as he spoke. Suddenly, a subtle noise emanated from the trees behind him. Gu Jiazhen and Mu Ling turned around warily at the same time. "Who?!"

Mu Ling instinctively stood in front of Gu Jiazhen.

After a while, a short-haired girl wearing a black striped jacket walked out from behind the tree.

Gu Jiazhen frowned instantly, "Who are you?"

The short-haired girl folded her hands and chuckled twice, then leaned against the tree and said bluntly, "Miss Gu, you don't have to worry about who I am. Miss Gu, all you need to know is that I have a way to make that Admiral Lu believe you."

Gu Jiazhen felt ridiculous, "Just you? Who do you think you are, you——"

Before she finished speaking, the short-haired girl stretched out her hand, and under the subtle change of light, the skin on the back of her hand began to grow shimmering dark purple scales.

Gu Jiazhen was stunned, staring at her hand in disbelief, "Your hand..."

"If my guess is correct, General Lu has always been responsive to Miss Gu's requests over the past few years, but he has always kept his distance from her and explicitly rejected her proposal for marriage. Does Miss Gu know why?"

Gu Jiazhen's expression changed slightly when he heard her continue, "Because Miss Gu lacks the evidence that will convince General Lu that it was you who saved him back then."

Gu Jiazhen no longer wanted to ask how the person in front of her knew all this. She stared at her gloomily and asked, "What evidence?"
