Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

Lan Ze looked at Yan Mo. Yan Mo's eyes were dark and bright, and Lan Ze could see determination in them. He said he was making a bet with Lan Ze, but it seemed that he was already certain that he would win the bet.

Lanze's understanding of male insects told him that Yanmo would not find another male insect willing to cooperate with the pheromone experiment, but his firm gaze made Lanze waver and fall madly in love.

Lan Ze said helplessly, "Your Excellency, you are wrong."

Yan Mo said she didn't have that much charm, what a huge misunderstanding that is of herself.

Lan Ze smiled and said, "Your charm has made me completely infatuated."

Yan Mo's ears burned as he recalled his earlier joke, feeling as if his whole body was on fire.

Lanze's villa on Epha Star is very close to the military headquarters, and the defense system is installed at the highest level.

After returning from Jing Shui Bay, Lan Ze escorted Yan Mo to the villa.

Lan Ze summoned Xiao Yuan, activated the highest level of defense, and ordered Xiao Yuan to stay by Yan Mo's side at all times before leaving with peace of mind.

He needs to discuss the matter of the Flame Society with General Lan.

Ephalan Military Headquarters.

Lan Hechen is handling military affairs.

The Fourth Legion has over a dozen military outposts, controlling a territory on the border of the Zerg star system, as well as all the planets within that territory.

Ephesus is also the primary star of these military outposts.

As a general of the Fourth Army Corps, Lan Hechen was in charge of all matters concerning the Fourth Army Corps.

Every day, countless orders are issued from the military headquarters of Epha Star and transmitted to various military garrison stars and military bases.

"Knock knock knock—"

Lan Hechen rubbed his temples when he heard the knocking.

"Enter."

Lan Ze walked in.

Lan Hechen looked at Lan Ze, whose tall and straight figure stood there like a fir tree, wearing a well-fitting uniform, and whose platinum blonde hair, which was the same style as his own, was slightly longer.

The father and son looked up at each other, their equally blue eyes both cold and indifferent, but Lan Hechen's eyes held a quietude born of hardship and experience.

"Female father".

Lan Ze spoke first to greet them.

Lan Hechen nodded. Looking at the adorable little insect that had grown up into what it was now, General Lan felt a little sorry, but he didn't show it on his face.

This was the first time Lan Ze had taken the initiative to see General Lan since returning from Star 1347.

That day, Yan Mo took Lan Ze out of the Male Insect Protection Association. Lieutenant He then handed over the General's spaceship's monitoring records, flight records, and Lan Ze's computer communication records to the Male Insect Protection Association, which completely proved that Lan Ze was not involved in the Pete disappearance case.

The male insect protection association may still be investigating this matter, but the Fourth Army has no connection to it anymore.

The day after Lan Ze returned home, he went back to work at the military headquarters.

Upon returning to the military headquarters, he received orders from General Lan to be confined for several days.

Lanze knew that the female father was blaming herself for being impulsive and losing her composure, allowing other insects to seize the opportunity to threaten the male insect in a place like the flight port where insects come and go.

He made no attempt to defend himself, and upon receiving the order to be confined by Lanhechen, he spent a few days in the simulation chamber.

The Zerg military headquarters' confinement room contains a simulation chamber.

Solitary confinement involves fighting various simulated interstellar monsters inside a simulation chamber. Even if you are exhausted, you cannot come out until the confinement period is over.

The simulation chamber challenges the female insect's own limits to simulate combat opponents, who are usually stronger than the female insect herself.

If the female insect cannot be defeated, it will experience the feeling of death repeatedly in the simulation chamber, then revive and continue the battle.

Fortunately, no matter how serious the injury is inside the simulation chamber, there will be no injuries on the body after leaving the simulation chamber.

Lan Ze returned home unharmed every day, and Yan Mo didn't notice anything amiss.

Lan Hechen remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Lan Ze.

He was waiting for Lan Ze to admit his mistake, but even after being confined for several days, Lan Ze showed no intention of admitting his mistake.

This made General Lan a little angry.

This stubborn little female insect is like a mule.

Lan Ze clearly knew what General Lan was waiting for. He lowered his head, and after a moment, he said with his neck stiff, "I can't stand to see my lord being bullied."

Lan Hechen laughed angrily.

"Your impulsiveness will not protect Lord Yanmo; on the contrary, it may bring him trouble."

Lanze was speechless. He knew in his heart that he had acted impulsively and wanted to punish Pete. He had many ways to do so in secret.

But he wasn't able to think about these things rationally at the time.

Lan Hechen had no intention of continuing on this topic; he changed the subject to something else.

"At first, I thought you didn't want Lord Yanmo's guardianship status."

Lan Hechen said something, then seemed to be reminding Lan Ze: "I taught you when you were a child not to give your heart to a male insect. Your genes destined you to be a superior female insect. For you, being able to resolve mental pollution is the most important thing."

Lan Ze didn't speak; he understood what General Lan meant.

General Lan, not waiting for his reply, continued to make his point even clearer.

"Lord Yanmo is very good, but if his pheromone level is not high, I will not agree to you two being together."

"You're always like this."

Lan Ze was somewhat disheartened; he couldn't understand General Lan's views.

He wanted to say, "You've married a superior male insect as you wished, but has the mental pollution problem been resolved? Are you satisfied with the current situation?"

But he held back, knowing that saying those words would reopen his father's wounds.

Lanze turned his head and said in a cold tone, "Philo sent me a message that there is an underground research institute of a new organization called the Flame Society. They are the ones who kidnapped Pete."

Lan Hechen knew about Lan Ze's past collaboration with the female insect offspring of the Xinier family to form the Starlight Society.

He knew the truth about the massive radiation and purges before Lan Ze, and he didn't mind watching the younger generation mess things up. He didn't stop Lan Ze at first.

It wasn't until Lu Min's male offspring was born and he was able to leave the capital planet that he told Lan Ze about it.

"The Flame Gathering?"

Lan Hechen opened his personal computer, retrieved a file, and shared it with Lan Ze.

Lanze looked at the message in the document.

"The Flame Society has clashed with all four major legions?"

Lanze asked in surprise, "How can they have such great power?"

The document states that recently, an unknown force stole research data from underground research institutes established before the Great Purge from various military legions.

The Great Purge was carried out by the Male Insect Protection Association and the four major legions. The data obtained was classified as top secret and was mainly kept by the legions.

Lan Hechen said calmly, "Then let's see which of the First, Second, and Third Legions is lying."

Lan Ze felt a mixture of surprise and expectation; it seemed that the Yan Huo Society was backed by a military general.

"They've set their sights on Lord Yanmo for some reason. Lord Yanmo can no longer stay on Efa Star."

Lanze continued.

Lan Hechen's expression turned serious. How could a male insect that had not differentiated for a long time attract the attention of the underground research institute?

"I will take Lord Yanmo back to the capital planet," Lan Ze paused, looked at Lan Hechen, and said firmly, "We will get engaged on the capital planet."
