Chapter 87: Going Crazy
Zheng An’s newly rented apartment was larger than the one he had lived in with Mu Mu before, but it was only an eighty or ninety-square-meter two-bedroom, two-living-room, and one-bathroom apartment, not even as big as one of Yan Gui Xing’s guest rooms.
The advantage of a small house with few rooms was that it was easy to find someone.
Yan Gui Xing searched the apartment inside and out, even turning the wardrobe upside down; it only took ten minutes.
No one was in the house.
The bed was neatly made, with no signs of having been slept in.
The wardrobe showed signs of having been rummaged through; most of the clothes were gone, and the remaining clothes were tossed about.
No suitcase.
A strawberry hairpin was on the table.
Mu Mu and Zheng An were gone.
When Yan Gui Xing realized this fact, he was completely stunned. It was as if a transparent film covered his head, and the sounds were muffled.
He tightly clutched the strawberry hairpin, squeezing the poor little clip until it made a “creak, creak” sound as if it were about to break.
He didn’t know why it had turned out like this; it shouldn’t be like this.
His Mu Mu, his so obedient Mu Mu, should be waiting for him to find him. If he was really angry, shouldn’t he be waiting for him, making a fuss at him, letting him coax him?!
Why leave? Didn’t he promise him that even if he was angry, he wouldn’t leave him?
Why did he leave?!
This is something Mu Mu didn’t hear; if he had, he would have said that he promised that he wouldn’t sleep separately even if he was angry, but he didn’t promise that he wouldn’t leave him.
Yan Gui Xing, standing in the middle of the living room, had a terrifyingly sinister expression, his dark green eyes scanning the small living room, as if trying to determine Mu Mu’s whereabouts from the remaining details.
Unfortunately, Yan Gui Xing didn’t have the ability to retrace his steps; he didn’t know where Mu Mu had gone or whether he was still on Glass Star.
Yan Gui Xing closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a scarlet web had formed in his eyes, along with a bit of scarlet at the corners of his eyes, combined with his raised red lips, giving him a strange and eerie look, like a mad lunatic.
That’s right, he was a lunatic, a complete lunatic, a powerful lunatic.
It’s okay; he has the ability to turn Glass Star upside down.
That day, the residents of Glass Star didn’t know what had happened, only that the route, which had been open for less than a day, was closed again.
Many armed soldiers patrolled the streets, and temporary checkpoints were set up in various districts to inspect passing vehicles.
Of course, hotels, motels, and unregistered black hotels were also thoroughly searched.
For a time, there were various rumors, but the most prevalent theory was that General Yan seemed to be looking for someone.
As for who this person was, some said it was a wanted criminal from another planet, some said it was a vicious pirate leader, and some said it was a Zerg spy. No one guessed that he was looking for Yan Gui Xing’s missing lover.
Also, Yan Gui Xing had just held his engagement ceremony yesterday, and today someone saw Yan Gui Xing’s fiancée and her maid leaving from the Lan Hai Building.
How absurd would someone have to be to get engaged yesterday and search the world for their lover today?
Well, no, Yan Gui Xing could do it! The efficiency of his Fourth Legion was very high; while he was still getting the spaceship station’s monitoring, they had already searched the hotels in three districts.
When Yan Gui Xing expressionlessly watched the monitoring, he found the figures of Mu Mu and Zheng An, watching them carry their luggage onto the spaceship.
Planet D5, that’s the spaceship to Planet D5, and Mu Mu and Zheng An’s names were indeed on the passenger list.
His Mu Mu had really left, leaving behind his most precious little clip and going to Planet D5 with someone named Zheng An.
Yan Gui Xing let out a heavy breath; his temples throbbed violently.
His mind was filled with countless voices of himself, questioning why Mu Mu had left, roaring that Zheng An had incited Mu Mu to leave him, and yelling to bring Mu Mu back and lock him up…
Finally, when Yan Gui Xing felt his head was about to explode from the noise, all the voices merged into one. He sighed softly, saying in a sarcastic tone—
—”Mu Mu doesn’t love you anymore; he doesn’t want you.”
The most unwilling truth was laid bare before Yan Gui Xing the moment Mu Mu stepped into the spaceship without looking back.
His Mu Mu left very decisively, without crying, hesitation, or reluctance, just like that day when he got in the car, without looking back at him.
Heh! He wasn’t a little fool at all; which little fool could be so ruthless?
His Mu Mu was so clever, knowing to hide on the neighboring Planet D5. And Planet D5, that damned planet, belonged to Desimo’s Rose Star Region; it was under Desimo’s control!
The election was imminent; he had no way to cross Desimo to find Mu Mu on D5! Even if Desimo was reasonable and allowed him to enter D5 to find him at this crucial time,
Looking for someone on a planet not under his jurisdiction would be like looking for a needle in a haystack; it would be difficult for him to find Mu Mu quickly.
Yan Gui Xing thought about his personal relationship with Desimo and concluded that at this crucial moment, Desimo would be crazy to help him find someone.
Therefore, he could do nothing now.
When his mother was killed, he could do nothing.
Now, Mu Mu was gone, and he could do nothing; he was like a useless waste.
Yan Gui Xing leaned back against the sofa and laughed, like a mad lunatic. Achi and Gongsun, standing beside him, exchanged glances and quietly stepped back.
The sunlight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling window behind Yan Gui Xing stung his eyes, but he didn’t close his eyes, self-flagellating staring at the blinding sunlight, letting tears slide down his temples and disappear.
In less than a minute, he suddenly jumped up; the sudden movement startled Achi and Gongsun, making their hearts skip a beat.
What happened next directly frightened them both; even Xiao Ting screamed.
After steadying himself, Yan Gui Xing started smashing things like a madman. First, the unsorted toys from the amusement park that belonged to Mu Mu were smashed onto the floor and the floor-to-ceiling window.
Then came the ornaments on the coffee table, the huge snack box filled with various snacks that Xiao Ting had prepared for Mu Mu, and the colored pencils Mu Mu had used the day before.
The living room was instantly in a mess, and Achi, Gongsun, and Xiao Ting didn’t dare to stop him; fearing injury, they had already hidden in a corner.
Yan Gui Xing, his eyes bloodshot, stared blankly at the mess on the floor, gritted his teeth, as if he hadn’t smashed enough, and turned towards the bar.
Behind the bar was a wine cabinet filled with wine, a single bottle of which was worth a fortune. Nearly a hundred bottles of wine could buy a manor in the expensive Capital Star.
Achi guessed that the next thing to suffer a devastating blow would be the wine cabinet and winced in pain, clutching his chest.
Just as Yan Gui Xing was about to reach the bar, the doorbell rang in the quiet room. Yan Gui Xing stopped, his expression sinister as he glanced this way.
Achi flinched and quickly said, “I’ll go take a look!” He darted out, leaving Gongsun and Yan Gui Xing to stare at each other across the room.
Staring at Yan Gui Xing in his rage was like staring at a raving lunatic; it was an uncomfortable feeling, and there was even a faint sense of suffocation.
Gongsun felt his body becoming numb and stiff with fear; he slowly lowered his eyes, licked his dry lips, and cursed Achi in his heart for being so inconsiderate to run off at this time.
As if Achi heard Gongsun’s call, he returned very quickly, and he wasn’t alone. He brought back Mi Ya, Sha Xia, and Anna.
Mi Ya was in the lead; as soon as she stepped into the living room and saw the mess, she was surprised and raised her right hand, covered with white lace gloves, to cover her lips.
“Goodness! Was this robbed?”
Naturally, it wasn’t robbed. On Glass Star, only Zerg spies would dare to invade Yan Gui Xing’s lair. The rest of the thieves were rational enough not to want to die like that.
Yan Gui Xing’s gaze shifted from Gongsun to Mi Ya. He stood in the shadows, most of his face hidden;
His scarlet eyes were filled with rage; after looking deeply at Mi Ya, he turned towards the bar.
Mi Ya didn’t, as Achi hoped, become a savior. Or rather, her appearance made Yan Gui Xing realize even more clearly that he and Mi Ya had hurt Mu Mu.
It was they who had driven Mu Mu away.
The crisp sound of shattering glass exploded in the quiet space. The sound, too sharp, was like a bolt from the blue, frightening Mi Ya and Anna, who were unprepared, making them shiver and let out a high-pitched and a low-pitched scream.
They stared in shock as Yan Gui Xing smashed bottles of wine to the ground like a madman; shards flew everywhere, and red and orange wine splashed onto his white trousers and sweater.
But Yan Gui Xing didn’t care about his soiled clothes; he just wanted to vent the emotions that had accumulated in his chest, nearly bursting his heart.
Soon, all the wine in the cabinet was smashed.
He sat on a white wooden high stool beside the bar, one leg resting on the crossbar of the stool, the other long leg stretched out on the ground, stepping on the muddy wine and shards.
Yan Gui Xing picked up half of a broken bottle bottom from the bar and, not caring about the sharp edges, poured the wine into his mouth. This action, in contrast, added to his frantic appearance.
Mi Ya’s face was pale, her thin body trembling slightly, her hands clenched tightly, as if trying to stop the trembling. Clearly, it had no effect.
“You’re sick!” Mi Ya gritted her teeth, her voice squeezed out from between her teeth. Perhaps it was the dignity of an aristocrat that supported her; even though she was trembling with fear, she still walked towards Yan Gui Xing.
But she stopped before the shattered glass and wine, the mixed smell of alcohol causing her to raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose, her brows showing undisguised disgust.
“Yan Gui Xing, are you crazy? What’s wrong with you? My father didn’t tell me that your mental state was so unstable!”
Yan Gui Xing poured the last drop of wine into his mouth and, confirming that no more wine could be squeezed from the broken bottom, casually threw the bottom behind him.
The crisp sound of glass hitting marble exploded in their ears; Mi Ya reflexively stepped back.
Yan Gui Xing saw her reaction and sneered with his scarlet lips.
Mi Ya’s face flushed red; she clenched her fists, trying to keep her voice normal. “Fine, then let’s talk about the soldiers on the street. The election is about to begin; are you giving your opponent a handle by doing these things?”
She became more and more excited, her final tone bordering on furious. “Please! We’re in a partnership now; please consider my family! Don’t let anything unexpected happen to something that’s certain, okay?”
Yan Gui Xing looked away, his gaze falling on some point in the void, his tone unexpectedly calm. “Don’t worry; I will definitely become a general.”
If he couldn’t be re-elected as a general, he wouldn’t have the chance to find Mu Mu.
He had driven Mu Mu away for the sake of becoming a general and couldn’t end up with nothing.
Yan Gui Xing added, “But at that time, I hope you’ll keep your promise and break off the engagement.”
“…” Mi Ya rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Don’t worry; I won’t make you wait a second longer!”
Mi Ya had been frightened by Yan Gui Xing’s frantic actions; if it weren’t for the Mi family, she would have broken off the engagement with this madman immediately.
【Author’s Note】: Yan’s mental state is quite beautiful today.
