Cheng Chu crouched close to the aircraft, her eyes red-rimmed as she stared at Arungus, who was walking towards her. Her dark eyes held a wariness and distrust towards the unfamiliar insect.

Cheng Chu had only met the female insect once, and didn't even remember her name. Her sudden appearance now seemed too coincidental.

Arungus slowed his pace and softened his voice, trying to lower the male insect's guard against him: "Lord Chengchu, trust me, I won't hurt you, I really can help you."

Seeing that the male insect's guarded expression had relaxed somewhat, Arungus pressed on, pointing to the aircraft behind him and saying, "Lord Chengchu, this is my aircraft. Wherever you want to go, I can help you get out."

His face was so sincere, and given that the male insect protection association's working insects might come chasing after them at any moment, Cheng Chu had no choice but to believe him this once.

"I...I...Can you help me get away from them and get me out of here?" Cheng Chu leaned against the aircraft, crouching low, keeping an eye on her surroundings as she said, "I don't want them to find me."

He'd heard Mikel say that security here was very tight. It was difficult for outsiders to get in, and just as getting out required authentication and recording by the gate's equipment.

If the male insect protection association's staff can't find him, they'll definitely be waiting for him at the entrance of the villa complex.

"Of course, Your Excellency Cheng Chu." Arungs readily agreed, took off his gloves, and walked to the side of the aircraft.

"Thank you, A... Si..." Cheng Chu paused, embarrassed, because he couldn't remember the female insect's name again.

Arungus smiled sweetly, showing no sign of unease, and simply reintroduced himself by name: "Arungus, Your Excellency Cheng Chu, my name is Arungus, do you remember it?"

"I'm sorry, I'll remember. Thank you, Arungus." Cheng Chu straightened up, looked down at the ground, and didn't dare to look at him.

"It's alright, Lord Chengchu, you don't need to apologize." Arungus turned around, a smile playing on his lips, which he quickly suppressed. He opened the door of the aircraft, revealing himself. He said, "Lord Chengchu, I'm sorry to have troubled you to ride in my aircraft; it's a bit dirty and messy."

Since he had come in disguised as a mechanic, Arungus, in order to avoid being exposed, simply bought a dilapidated old aircraft covered in years of stale engine oil from a mechanic who had been working in maintenance for many years.

If he had known that Lord Cheng Chu would be using his aircraft, he wouldn't have bought such a dilapidated one. It couldn't be too expensive; it had to be clean and tidy at least.

First, he wore casual clothes for digging, and now he's in a dilapidated flying vehicle. Does Lord Cheng Chu think he's poor?

Arungus was extremely annoyed.

Cheng Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can sit anywhere."

I'd do anything to get him out and find Mikel, even just let him ride in a garbage truck.

The sky gradually darkened in the afternoon, and a damp breeze began to blow through the air.

"Lord Chengchu, please come out quickly, stop hiding."

"Your Excellency Chengchu, it's about to rain, please come out quickly..."

"Your Excellency Chengchu, we have informed your lord that he has returned. Please go home now..."

Two small machines appeared in the distance, and the shouts of the working insects came from inside.

Kasili and Laureen initially couldn't catch Cheng Chu and were confident he couldn't have gone far, only hiding somewhere. Seeing that it was about to rain and they still couldn't find where Cheng Chu was hiding, they sent a small intelligent flying device to call out to coax him out.

"Hurry up!" Cheng Chu hurriedly tried to climb onto the aircraft; he didn't believe what they were saying.

Arungs: "Okay."

Without further ado, Cheng Chu and Arungus boarded the aircraft nimbly. They closed the door, started the aircraft, and completed the task in one smooth motion.

The aircraft slowly flew towards the male insect protection association workers who were searching for the nascent male insects, brushed past them, and left them far behind.

The villa complex stipulated that aircraft must travel at a minimum speed, and with the additional checks at the gate, it was more than twenty minutes later when Cheng Chu and Arunges finally emerged.

This was also thanks to the fact that the villa complex was very large. President Caesar and Laureen always believed that Cheng Chu could not possibly run far and were convinced that he could not escape. Therefore, they did not notify the gatekeeper immediately, which gave Arungus the opportunity to sneak out with Cheng Chu.

"Alright, Lord Chengchu, you may come out now." After the aircraft had traveled some distance, Arungus switched the driving mode to autopilot and turned back to the toolbox covered with oil stains, saying, "They can't see you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chu couldn't wait to throw off the dirty and smelly rag covering his head before daring to breathe deeply.

Arungus suddenly burst out laughing: "Pfft... Haha..."

Cheng Chu looked at him, completely bewildered: "..."

I don't understand why he's laughing.

"Lord Chengchu, your face," Arungus said, pointing to his right cheek with his right index finger, "is dirty."

It must have been when Cheng Chu hid that he somehow got some engine oil on his right cheek near his jaw, leaving a black oil stain.

Cheng Chu raised his hand and touched his right cheek. It felt a little sticky. When he opened his hand, he saw that it was also covered in black engine oil.

Arungus took out the tissues he had brought, moved to the back seat, and naturally reached out to wipe Cheng Chu's face.

"Your Excellency Chengchu, let me clean it for you."

Faced with the suddenly outstretched hand, Cheng Chu instinctively dodged backward.

"No...no need, I can do it myself, thank you." Cheng Chu raised her arm and wiped her face with her sleeve, but she didn't see that the dirt on her face was not only not cleaned, but the area of ​​dirt had also increased.

Arungus's raised hand froze in mid-air, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. He subtly withdrew his hand, looking at the male insect's even dirtier face, and teased with a smile, "Lord Chengchu, your face is even dirtier. This simple wiping won't remove it; you'll need a solvent to clean it."

"Never mind." Cheng Chu didn't care about that; a dirty face didn't matter. He said anxiously, "Arenges, can you take me to the military headquarters now?"

"Sure." Arungs sat back in the driver's seat, adjusting the destination on the controls. "Lord Chengchu, we're about half an hour away from the military headquarters."

Pausing what he was doing, Arungus casually asked, "Lord Chengchu, are you going to the military headquarters to see General Mikel?"

Cheng Chu sat in the back, looking out the porthole at the buildings rushing past. He would see Mikel in half an hour; he wondered what Mikel was doing.

Upon hearing Arungus's question, Cheng Chu didn't think much of it and simply hummed in response.

"Admiral Mikel is too busy. How can we let you go to him in person? If you just make a call to him, would he dare not come back?" Arungus secretly observed the expression of the male insects in the back row, his words filled with complaints about Mikel.

Cheng Chu frowned. Why did those words sound so strange?

He turned to Arungus and explained, "No, I'm going to find him."
