Chapter 37: The Shrewd Dad and Her Feigning Illness
“They’re back.”
Hearing the sound, Qi Ye looked toward the sky.
In the pollution fog, Sentinels locked onto the position of spaceships by hearing.
He walked toward the perimeter of the base. His heart, already somewhat anxious, tightened at this moment.
For these three days, he hadn’t rested for a single moment.
Even though he tried his best to control himself and appear indifferent, he still couldn’t control his distracted state of mind.
Even he couldn’t quite distinguish the deep emotions behind this unease.
Many Sentinels followed closely behind.
Shen Yu and other commanders were also among them.
The Alliance had stopped all missions for three days, all searching for her.
Now that she was found, they didn’t know how she was.
Screech—
The spaceship hatch opened, and several tall Chi family Sentinels rushed down at once.
They tightly protected one Sentinel among them. In that Sentinel’s broad embrace, he held a girl whose face couldn’t be seen clearly, but the exposed section of her arm was covered in fresh blood.
“Quick, to the medical room!”
The Sentinels’ expressions were extremely tense. Behind them, Chi Yuzhou followed closely with a face as cold as ice.
That smear of fresh blood was extremely piercing. Qi Ye wanted to step forward but was sternly blocked by the Chi family Sentinel corps.
“You cannot approach our Young Miss even half a step!”
The Federation Manager wiped his cold sweat and got off the spaceship.
“What’s the situation?”
Shen Yu immediately stepped forward to ask.
Kui Chuan recalled the scene just now.
He wanted to follow them in but was blocked outside. From the originally extremely quiet building came Chi Yuzhou’s cry of pain.
Immediately after, he saw Chi Wan being carried out. They didn’t even see her face; the Chi family guarded her to death.
And Sixteen, who walked out leisurely, just shook his head and sighed:
“Ay, hard to save, hard to save~”
It scared them half to death.
One by one, they boarded the spaceship with pale faces, thinking all the way about how they would explain to Chi Yuzhou if something happened to her.
Kui Chuan closed his eyes, shaking his head and sighing:
“I’m afraid this won’t be easy to resolve. It looks like she’s seriously injured.”
Shen Yu’s expression grew a shade graver. He turned around to see Qi Ye already striding toward the medical building.
Outside the medical room, the Alliance’s medical staff had also been driven out. Only the medical personnel brought by the Chi family were allowed inside.
Chi Yuzhou looked at the crowd following him, snorted coldly, the veins on his forehead bulging as if in extreme rage:
“I think we need to have a good talk!”
…
Inside the medical room, Chi Wan felt particularly guilty.
She watched the Chi family medical staff examining her with relaxed expressions by the hospital bed.
They were verifying her test reports one by one.
“No problem, Miss. Your body is very healthy now.”
Chi Wan scratched her head.
Thinking of her dad’s masterful operation just now.
His shrewd tone seemed to echo in her ears:
“Wan Wan, just pretend to be sick. Dad will arrange the rest.
Only if you are seriously ill can Dad demand they handle this matter strictly. We’ll fleece them fiercely and then leave!”
She secretly sighed that her nominal dad was worthy of being the top wealth in the galaxy. He possessed all the traits of a merchant—shrewd and cunning.
After waiting for nearly two hours, Chi Wan didn’t wait for Chi Yuzhou.
Instead, Pu Jing arrived.
As soon as he entered the room, his serious face was dyed with a smile.
“Miss, here is the new optical computer prepared for you. Put it on quickly.”
Chi Wan obediently put on the optical computer. Just as she wanted to ask him about the situation outside, Kui Chuan lowered his voice:
“We hit the jackpot this time.”
Chi Wan looked confused.
“The Federation compensated the Patriarch with ten mining areas plus one billion star coins.”
“The instigator, Pei Yuan, was extremely generous, giving three crystals right off the bat.”
Chi Wan thought of Pei Yuan’s face, feeling only repulsion in her heart.
“The Patriarch is famous for his eloquence. He started settling accounts with them regarding their previous atrocious behavior toward you, turning black into white and white into black.”
“And then? They surely denied it, right?”
Chi Wan thought of the disgusted faces of those male leads, feeling they probably wished she would die sooner.
“Except for Yun Qi who showed no indication, the other commanders were very generous and compensated a lot.”
“What?”
“Yes, especially the one called Qi Ye. The military supplies he compensated to the Patriarch are worth a year of the Chi family’s net profit.”
Chi Wan lowered her eyes, actually starting to feel a bit embarrassed.
“Now the Patriarch is busy handling the procedures. He said he’ll take you away once the procedures are done.”
Looking at Chi Wan nodding obediently in front of him, Pu Jing couldn’t hide the benevolence in his eyes.
The Young Miss was obviously different this time.
It was as if she were a different person.
But the situation was urgent, and he didn’t have time to ponder it. He could only attribute it to her suffering outside, which had smoothed down her originally sharp personality.
