Chapter 171: I’m Not a Good Person
After drawing the blood, Su Miantang returned home, turned on her light computer, and reviewed the relevant information and photos of ‘Kuiang’ that Amy had sent her.
In the surveillance video, the man only revealed half of his face. He appeared to be roughly 1.8 meters tall and around forty years old, with a scar the size of a grain of rice on the right side of his nose.
He claimed to be employed by a Central Star government agency.
But over the years, Tenleson had searched the entire galaxy, even going so far as to enter the prison, and yet he still couldn’t find him. Was it possible…
That this information was fake?
If only Little Ear were here. His smart brain could search for the most advanced, classified intelligence in the world. With this many identifying features, it would be more than enough to track him down.
Unfortunately, he was currently on the battlefield.
She cupped her face in her hands, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Mi hastily buzzed its wings and flew over.
“Master, may I ask what is troubling you? Is there anything I can solve?”
“You can’t. Only Little Ear’s smart brain can.”
“I can do it too!” Xiao Mi replied indignantly, its antennae perking up slightly. “When Commander Yue Zhongxian left home, he upgraded my system. To make it convenient for Master to look up information, he even transferred the data from his own smart brain over. It’s just that due to LAN restrictions, I can only access intelligence from within the Central Star System, and it isn’t updated in real-time.”
“Really?”
Hearing this, Su Miantang’s eyes lit up.
Little Ear was actually that thoughtful?
“That’s already more than enough!”
She quickly inputted all of Kuiang’s information into the system. However, when she clicked search, four words popped up on the screen: ‘No such person found’.
How could this be?
Under the heavens, it was impossible for anyone’s information to escape Little Ear’s smart brain.
Then there was only one possibility left…
This person wasn’t from the Central Star System at all!
Night fell.
No. 149, Misty Town, Water City.
Inside the small courtyard, the lights in the elderly’s and children’s rooms were turned off one after another. However, up in the attic, another dim, flickering light subtly blinked on, illuminating the adult silhouettes of those who had lived and grown up together over twenty years ago, each now having a family of their own.
“Brother, have you truly decided to go back?”
“Yes.”
“We aren’t trying to stop you from seeking revenge, but the Central Star has been reporting continuous victories. The X Star System has been 80% annihilated. Not only is Admiral Aslan pushing directly toward their capital, but even the Number One Interstellar Commander has joined the fray. The defeat is already sealed!”
“If I go, I will change that.”
“But your glands…”
“They are already growing back.”
“Growing back?”
The crowd exchanged astonished, bewildered glances. Only Amy covered her face, weeping with absolute heartbreak.
“Brother Sen, if you fail, does that mean we will never see you again? If you succeed, does that mean from now on, you will be enemies with us and Great-grandfather?”
“I will only target the government. I will not stoop to their despicable level and lay a hand on the citizens.”
After saying that, he turned around, his towering silhouette vanishing into the darkness.
Weeping as she ran after him, Amy called out, “Even if you don’t care about us anymore, what about Miss Su?”
“She…”
The man slowly lifted his head. Despite standing beneath a starry sky radiating the most brilliant, dazzling light, his pupil color appeared several shades deeper and darker than the night itself.
Jiuqing Villa Area.
Su Miantang was pondering over who Kuiang actually was, why he had gouged out Tenleson’s glands, and why he had lied about being personnel from a Central Star government agency, when she suddenly heard a frantic series of doorbell rings.
She activated the electronic peephole and saw on the display screen…
The giant python?
Why had he come?
“Tenleson, why are you…”
She opened the door, but the moment she saw him, her words ground to an abrupt halt.
The man hung his head low.
He was soaking wet from head to toe.
A continuous stream of water droplets trailed down his tattooed skin, disappearing into his bulging, wheat-toned chest. His clothes and pants were completely drenched, and the scent lingering on him felt somewhat familiar.
It smelled like the lake inside the villa area.
…He couldn’t have just shifted into a Senran and swam all the way over from the lake, could he?
A sudden shiver ran down her spine. Flipping on the overhead porch light, she finally noticed several lacerations across his body, some of which were still actively oozing blood.
“You’re hurt?!”
Only upon hearing her voice did the man slowly lift his head.
His sharp, glacial face, marred by battle damage, bore zero expression, yet his profound pupils burned with a searing intensity. He stared fixedly at her, faintly harboring a trace of an abnormal, volatile factor.
It was a damp, chilling sensation that was impossible to describe.
“Come inside quickly. I’ll help you bandage those up.”
Just as the young girl turned to head upstairs to retrieve the medical box, her wrist was suddenly caught in a vice-like grip. “Draw blood.”
“What?”
Did she hear that right?
He wanted his blood drawn right now?
“No, your current condition is not suitable for…”
“Draw blood.”
He repeated it once more. His voice was deep, forceful, and brokered absolutely no refusal, making it sound as though if she didn’t draw it right this instant, she would never get another chance.
Su Miantang hesitated for two seconds before finally compromising.
“Alright.”
“But shouldn’t you at least come inside first?”
She cranked up the indoor temperature, fetched him a fresh pair of slippers and a bath towel, and instructed Xiao Mi to retrieve the medical box and blood extraction equipment from the second floor.
Throughout the entire process, Tenleson stared at her unblinkingly, his gaze practically glued to her without shifting away for a single moment.
Noticing this, Su Miantang couldn’t help but find it slightly amusing.
Looking at him right now, why did he resemble Lanlan acting all clingy as a cub, or Little Ear pretending to be terrified? Was a terrifying giant python measuring dozens of meters long actually trying to play the part of a pitiable little victim?
“Tenleson, how did you get yourself into such a state? Did you get into a fight with someone?”
“Shouldn’t we bandage you up first?”
“Do you need some water?”
She fired off three consecutive questions, but upon receiving absolutely zero response, she stopped talking. She activated the equipment and silently drew his blood while simultaneously tending to his wounds, waiting for him to speak on his own.
Finally, he shifted his gaze away from her slightly, sweeping a glance across the villa.
“This place is so small?”
Su Miantang: “…” It would be best if you just kept your mouth shut.
The 10ml was drawn very quickly. She removed the needle and had Xiao Mi urgently dispatch the blood bag to the Academy of Sciences. The ‘snake venom incident’ that had plagued her for days was finally thoroughly resolved, and a heavy stone was lifted from her heart.
She looked toward the man with immense gratitude. Fearing he might not be able to hold up after expending so much energy fighting, losing blood, and then immediately having 10ml drawn, she prepared to inject him with a recovery agent.
“What is this?”
“A rapid stamina recovery agent.” Su Miantang paused. “Or, if you don’t want an injection, I can cook something for you.”
Hearing the word ‘cook’, the abnormal, volatile light flickering in the man’s pupils froze slightly. He seemed almost incredulous. “You… want to cook for me?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Heh.
“Nothing.”
He lowered his head, masking the indescribably absurd amusement flashing through the depths of his eyes.
“Then I’ll go make it? Wait here a moment.”
She turned around.
But she had barely taken a single step before her wrist was pulled back again.
The man, whose mental state had been abnormal for the entire evening, had reached the absolute peak of instability at this very moment. He looked at her, the corners of his thin lips pulling up into a smirk. It looked as though he were smiling, yet there wasn’t a single shred of warmth in his eyes.
“Little Cotton Candy, don’t be so good to me.”
“You know, I’m not a good person…”
“What?”
Su Miantang was bewildered, still failing to grasp what he was talking about.
In the next split second, her vision went black, and she completely passed out.
The lights inside the four-story detached villa were extinguished.
The young girl was hoisted over his shoulder and carried out of the villa.
Her, I am taking away.
