The female insect clearly disagreed with his idea and retorted directly, "With Lord Jiang Mian gone, who can control the male insects of the Jiang family?"

Besides, didn't I say he's very famous in the industry? He's not as good as you see him; he's just putting on an act for you.

"Hey bro, are you kidding us? You've been talking for so long and you still haven't said anything, all we know is that he's a male from the Jiang family."

"Since you all want to know, I'll just say it directly. Anyone who knows a little about this male insect of the Jiang family knows one thing: he really likes to collect the wings of female insects."

Now you all understand what I've said.

His announcement shocked all the insects below.

"Damn, I never would have guessed he was so disgusting."

"I knew it! How could the Zerg have such gentle males? Turns out they were just trying to fool us ordinary folks. Damn, what a heartless bunch."

"My God, is this really not a scene staged by this male insect?"

"Stop talking, the filter is shattered."

As soon as this news came out, both those who knew Jiang Xu and those who didn't started leaving negative comments and expressing their contempt.

As a result, they were seen by more and more female insects, and the few who disagreed with them were all attacked mercilessly.

However, Jiang Xu was unaware of all of this.

In the middle of the night, Fei woke up in the treatment pod, and his fever subsided.

Jiang Xu looked at Zoe: "Thank you for keeping me company today."

Otherwise, if he were alone, the night would be much harder to endure.

"You're being polite to me again." Zoe put her hand on his shoulder. "He noticed you've been being unusually polite to me lately, which isn't like you."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt something was off, until he saw that Jiang Xu hadn't shaken off his hand that was on his body.

A strange phenomenon occurred from the sky!

Jiang Xu looked at the dark circles under his eyes: "You should go home and rest early. Staying up all night for two nights in a row is too much for your body."

Zoe withdrew her hand and yawned, "Then I'll head back now."

"Mr. Zoe, thank you for tonight." Fei thanked him very politely. He knew that if it weren't for Jiang Xu's sake, even a glance from the other party would be a reward for him.

Zoe nodded slightly to him, then turned to Jiang Xu, her eyes filled with other emotions: "If anything happens later, don't blame me."

You know I had no intention of harming you.

"?" Jiang Xu was puzzled by what he said. "Huh?"

Zoe, seeing his questioning look, felt a little guilty: "Just remember that. I'm really sleepy, I need to go home and rest."

"Mm," Jiang Xu replied verbally, but a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

After receiving Jiang Xu's reply, Zoe quickly left the hospital, leaving only Jiang Xu and Fei at the payment counter.

Jiang Xu took the bill, tapped his communicator on the payment device, and walked out of the hospital.

Fei followed silently beside him, hesitating for a long time, until they left the hospital, before finally speaking to Jiang Xu beside him: "Master, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

Jiang Xu, who was walking ahead, glanced at the white-tinted sky, then stopped and turned to Fei: "I told you there's no need to apologize to me. The main reason for this is me."

"I..." Fei hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Alright." Jiang Xu ruffled his hair. "What you need to do now is go back and get some rest. For the next week, no bugs will bother you at the military headquarters."

"?" Fei looked at him in surprise. "You asked for leave for me?"

"No, your general has voluntarily granted you leave." Jiang Xu said this rather rudely and walked directly towards the aircraft.

Fei suddenly froze. Had General Lan given him the leave on his own initiative?

General Lan has learned about his situation!

Fei looked at the male insect in the distance in a panic and hurriedly chased after it.

During the flight of the aircraft, Jiang Xu noticed that the other man had looked at him many times, and the unconscious little movements of his hands revealed the other man's nervousness.

Jiang Xu's displeasure at being schemed against suddenly lessened considerably.

Only after the aircraft landed in the courtyard did Fei finally speak: "My lord, what did General Lan say to you?"

"What?" Jiang Xu looked at him, seemingly confused, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"Exactly, did General Lan tell you why I was given leave?" Fei's hand unconsciously gripped the seam of his trousers.

"No, he only told me that I needed to take you to the hospital."

Hearing Jiang Xu's reply, Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

He didn't notice the uncontrollable smile in Jiang Xu's eyes as he looked at him.

"But, my lord, I don't need to take such a long leave." The military has a lot of things on his desk right now, waiting for him to finish them when he comes to work tomorrow.

"No, you need it," Jiang Xu replied without turning his head.

After changing into his slippers, he went straight upstairs to the second floor. His footsteps suddenly stopped as Jiang Xu turned around and looked down at him: "You are not allowed to go to the military headquarters without permission this week. This is my order."

This was the first time he exercised his rights as a powerful ruler.

Fei Qin bit her lip and looked at Jiang Xu: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Get some rest." Jiang Xu hadn't rested last night, and his eyelids were already drooping.

As for Fei Qian's affairs, he didn't expose them. He knew how serious those crimes were to the Zerg females.

Just the scheming alone was enough to overwhelm him, let alone what followed.

Before opening the door, Jiang Xu glanced at Fei, who had followed him, with an ambiguous expression, then went inside and closed the door.

Fei stopped abruptly when he saw his gaze: it seemed he knew.

Although Jiang Xu didn't say anything, he clearly sensed this information from that glance.

Fei's hands and feet suddenly feel cold. What should he do? He seems to know.

He stood there for a long time before he felt some warmth return to his body.

Staring at the closed door to the master bedroom, he desperately wanted to explain something to Jiang Xu, but...

He didn't know what to say.

Jiang Xu had no idea that his glance had such a profound impact on him. As the hot water was poured over him, he heard footsteps coming from the hallway outside the door. The footsteps stopped at his door and then fell silent.

He remained the same even after he finished showering.

He sighed, opened the door, and looked at the female insect standing there with a look of despair: "Come in."

He released his grip on the doorknob: "What do you want to say?"

"..." Fei bit his lip and remained silent. He wanted to ask, but he couldn't.

Jiang Xu sat down on the edge of the bed before looking at the other person, his gaze finally settling on the bloodstain near their mouth: "Are you trying to bite yourself to death?"

"Huh?" Fei quickly opened his mouth as if startled.

"Go take a shower and sleep with me for a while." Jiang Xu rubbed his temples; all he wanted to do right now was get a good night's sleep.
