Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

When Jiang Xu opened his eyes again, he had already arrived outside the hotel.

He raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, looking at the female insect in the driver's seat with displeasure: "According to Article 10, Chapter 1 of the Zerg Alliance Law, those who intentionally harm or murder male insects shall be punished with gene stripping."

You intentionally hurt me twice.

He wasn't sure how long the aircraft had been parked there, but he glanced at the trash can at the female insect's feet, which was piled high with food wrappers, indicating that it had been there for quite some time.

The female insect looked at the male insect reflected in the glass and shrugged: "I'm not under the Alliance's jurisdiction."

"..." Jiang Xu glanced at him indifferently, opened the door of the aircraft, and stepped out.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn yesterday. He turned around and glanced at the aircraft, which was now just a black dot. He was speechless at the female insect.

The moment his opponent's foot touched the ground, his other foot sped off like the wind.

He sighed and walked towards the hotel entrance.

Before he even reached the door, all the female guests who had been greeting him rushed up and surrounded him.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back."

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Sir, are you injured? I'll go get a doctor right away."

"Your Mightiness........"

"Your Mightiness........"

........

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Jiang Xu had no idea whose question to answer first, so he rubbed his temples and said, "I'm fine, thank you."

Where are the bugs that came with me?

"They went out to look for you. Please wait a moment, I'll have the front desk let them know you're back."

A female scurried towards the front desk.

"Fine, fine," Jiang Xu thought to himself. All he wanted to do now was go back to his room and change his clothes.

"Excuse me, please let me through, I'll go back to my room first."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Several sub-females realized what was happening and made way for him.

Jiang Xu returned to his room and glanced at the clothes still on the chair.

Never mind, I'll take a shower first, then change.

Following the direction of the female insect's movements in the surveillance footage, Fei and his group of insects roughly narrowed down the area.

However, the investigation into the exact location was very slow. They could only use the pretext of conducting a case to locate the aircraft's departure point by checking nearby surveillance cameras one by one.

Finally, they watched as the aircraft left the gates of Jiaer City on the monitor.

Finding a single insect outside Jiaer City is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

There were almost no residents outside, and the trail ended there.

Fei's face was very pale. Could it really be an insect from the south?

Several other insects also looked troubled.

"What's next?" After a day and a night of searching, Loga had grown accustomed to Fei as his pillar of support, and asked him without hesitation.

"When we came from outside the city, there were no residents for a long stretch of road, let alone any surveillance footage," Kennan said hesitantly.

The final decision on this matter rests with Fei.

So all seven insects turned their attention to Fei, waiting for his instructions.

Fei stared at the surveillance video, lost in thought. Now, with no idea where the other party had gone, the only option was to split up and deal with more possibilities.

"Next, we'll split into four groups, two teams of two. One team will stay in Jiaer City, and the other three groups will split into three groups to search for any places with surveillance cameras in different areas and find out the direction the aircraft flew," Fei coldly commanded.

"Yes."

Several insects responded in unison.

After a moment's thought, Fei quickly said to them, "Parker and I will be in a group, Kennen and Locke will each take one bug, and the remaining two bugs will stay behind."

Please contact us as soon as possible if there are any issues in Jiaer City.

At Fei's command, the four teams quickly prepared. Before setting off, he glanced at the monitoring equipment out of the corner of his eye.

He suddenly stopped moving forward: "Wait a minute."

He quickly walked to the front of the monitoring equipment, stared directly at the video feed, and said to the staff, "Could you please rewind this part of the video twenty seconds ago?"

"?" Several teams didn't understand why he suddenly called them, but seeing him hurriedly walk towards the surveillance camera, they knew he must have made a new discovery.

They all followed him and surrounded him.

Several pairs of eyes stared intently at the video surveillance, waiting for the staff to rewind time so they would understand why the task had been suddenly suspended.

Because the aircraft that went out for a spin has returned.

"Could you check for me how much time passed between the departure and return of this aircraft?" Fei asked the staff, pointing to the aircraft in the video.

The staff were very cooperative and quickly rewound the scene to where the aircraft had appeared in the previous scene.

"Here." The employee pressed pause and pointed to the time in the lower left corner, saying, "September 22nd, 11:03 AM."

After recording, he immediately moved forward at top speed, and paused the flight when he saw the aircraft returning to the city: "11:28 AM, September 22nd".

Before he could calculate the time, Locke next to him had already done so: "The interval is twenty-five minutes."

What does he mean by that? Is it some kind of smokescreen?

They knew the distance the aircraft could fly in twenty-five minutes, and that time wouldn't be too far off.

Then, it's highly likely that it's just a smokescreen.

Fei memorized the entire route of the return journey, his eyes darkening slightly. "Thank you for your cooperation. We'll be going now."

As he spoke, he winked at the insects, and they all understood and left the shop.

Fei walked to the city gate's border exit, glanced at the outside environment, looked away, and turned to walk towards the farthest building in the direction the aircraft was flying in the video.

Just as the shop came into view, his communicator rang.

A call from an unknown number.

He glanced at the shop, then answered the call without stopping: "Hello, is this Major General Fei?"

"Who is this?" Fei heard a familiar voice on the other end.

"Hello, this is the Neil Hotel. Mr. Jiang Xu has returned on his own."

No sooner had the conversation ended than Locke stepped forward, asking incredulously, "You mean Lord Jiang Xu returned on his own?"

"Yes, Lord Jiang Xu has just entered the hotel."

This phone call saved all the insects present, including Fei himself.

His heart was pounding, and he was anxious to get back.

In the hotel, after washing away the filth and fatigue with hot water, he quickly changed his clothes and picked up the communicator by the bedside to contact Loga.

The call was answered as soon as it connected: "Loga, I'm at the hotel."

The familiar voice echoed in the aircraft, and the heavy weight in Loga's heart finally lifted.

He had just opened his mouth when Fei Yi grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards himself: "My Lord."

"?" Jiang Xu stared in surprise at the suddenly changed projection. "Fei?"

He suddenly remembered his correspondence with him two days ago and suddenly felt inexplicably guilty.

"How are you?" Fei was now more worried about Jiang Xu's health and safety.

The slight resentment that had been there before had long since disappeared on the way here.

Jiang Xu was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I'm fine. I'll wait for you at the hotel."
