Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
Although two people were guarding Song Xia, she didn't leave, and the soldiers couldn't do anything about it. After all, no matter how lowly she was in front of Ling Chengrong, she was still the Marshal's wife, and her family's wealth was among the top three in the interstellar space.
So she kept her eyes glued to the warship's main control screen. Some of the dispatched fighter jets would transmit the situation in real time. Watching the thrilling scenes inside, she had to admit that Ling Chengrong's soldiers were quite capable.
But no matter how skilled he was, Ling Chengrong made mistakes in his past life. He hoped he wouldn't repeat those mistakes in this life.
This turbulent area harbors many vicious pirates, and the soldiers of the First Legion would face a fierce battle when they encountered them. The scene was extremely dangerous. As students of the military academy, Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying had taken many such simulation courses and had never hesitated to kill insectoids in the training ground. However, this was the first time they had experienced such a real battle firsthand, and they finally understood why their father had not allowed them to participate.
Compared to the ferocity of the Zerg, the pirates are more cunning. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into their trap. Several soldiers' fighter jets have already been shot down. In the vacuum environment, even if you carry a safety bag, if you lose your fighter jet, the chance of survival is very slim. After all, the environment in this area is too complex, and even warships cannot provide timely rescue.
"You're not Ling Chengrong? Where is Ling Chengrong?" Suddenly, a voice came into the control room, and Song Xia's expression became agitated.
"Song Yi, Father has found that pirate and his henchmen!" Ling Wenying exclaimed in surprise. "Father has never failed before, and the crisis will be resolved soon."
But Song Xia couldn't calm down like the others. She stared intently at the main control screen, but unfortunately, there was only sound and no picture.
The situation over there seemed complicated, with explosions and the pirate's furious voice ringing out intermittently: "Ling Chengrong, do you really not even want your son anymore?"
The child's cries nearly broke Song Xia's heart. Then, the real Ling Chengrong appeared, but with his appearance, the pirates were heavily knocked away.
Ling Chengrong's voice was so authoritative and domineering: "Yersen, I'm here now."
At this moment, Yersin was not only seriously injured but had also lost his hostage. He was extremely indignant: "Ling Chengrong, I never thought that you, a dignified marshal, would resort to sneak attacks."
Ling Chengrong's voice grew even colder: "Yerson, prepare to die."
"Die? I haven't avenged my father yet, Ling Chengrong. Do you think you can kill me just because you tricked me and repelled me?"
"Stop him." Ling Chengrong chased after him.
Song Xia had already broken free from the soldiers and run to the control panel, speaking to Ling Chengrong on the same channel: "Ling Chengrong, please bring Ye'er back first. I beg you, please bring Ye'er back first."
Ling Chengrong frowned: "Song Xia, you really shouldn't have broken the rules by touching the control panel. Major General Li, take her back to the lounge."
"Ling Chengrong..." Song Xia was still calling out, "I know you want revenge, but bring Ye'er back first!"
"Someone will take him back; he's out of danger now." After saying this, Ling Chengrong unilaterally ended the call. Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying looked much more relaxed, but Song Xia's heart sank instantly. She never expected that even after giving herself a second chance in this life, she would still get the same result despite her repeated explanations.
"Aunt Song..." Seeing that her complexion had not improved, Ling Wenying glanced at her worriedly.
Song Xia pursed her lips, sadly thinking that it was a pity she couldn't fly a fighter jet, and that she didn't have the ability to go out and fight those pirates. Otherwise, she would never have placed her hopes of saving her son on Ling Chengrong.
This is the last time. From now on, she will not rely on anyone for anything related to Ye'er.
"Oh no! Everyone be careful!" Another message came through the communication channel, transmitted by a dying soldier with his last breath: "There's a mole! The mole attacked me! The young master has been taken away..."
"What!" Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying exclaimed in surprise at the same time, and the soldiers in the warship also looked panicked.
"Contact the marshal immediately."
"The Marshal has shut down communications and cannot be contacted."
"Do everything in our power to save the young master. No matter the cost, we must bring him back." After saying this, the people in the control room looked at Song Xia with concern. Song Xia's face was filled with sorrow and resentment. "Ling Chengrong, I hate you."
“Aunt Song, Father didn’t do it on purpose.” Ling Wenying seemed to feel that her explanation was useless, so she comforted him, “This area is now full of our soldiers. Even if my little brother is kidnapped, he will be safe and sound in the end. Father will definitely come back to rescue him in time.”
"I hope Ye'er is alright." Song Xia closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, but how could he be alright? The mole had been waiting for this moment. He was even willing to expose his identity for today, so he must be confident that he could take the person away.
After an unknown amount of time, until there were no more pirates in the area, Ling Chengrong led his soldiers back to the warship. There were no children behind him.
Faced with Song Xia's cold gaze, he silently looked away.
"Do you have to be so eager for revenge right now? How much time will it take to chase after him after bringing Ye'er back?" Song Xia pressed, "Ling Chengrong, in your heart, is Ye'er's safety not as important as your revenge?"
Ling Chengrong paused for a moment, then said in a serious voice, "Song Xia, don't be unreasonable. I don't want to see this situation either."
"But you could have avoided that!" Song Xia yelled at him, her eyes red. "Are Ye'er and I always dispensable in your eyes? Ling Chengrong, even if you treated Ye'er as an ordinary interstellar citizen, you wouldn't have abandoned him back then!"
Ling Chengrong clenched his fist: "He's my son too, how could I not care at all? I told you, it was an accident, I didn't expect..."
"The First Legion is your legion. How can you explain away the fact that there's a traitor within the legion? If you don't take it seriously, you don't take it seriously. Even after defeating Yersin, could you have lingered for just one more minute to bring Ye'er into your fighter jet?"
“This is against the rules, Song Xia. I assure you, I will definitely rescue Ye’er.”
"Did you comply with the rules by abandoning Ye'er on the spot?" Song Xia shouted at him. "Ling Chengrong, I hate you, I will never forgive you in my life."
Ling Chengrong rubbed his temples and instructed his subordinates, "Take Madam into the rest room."
Song Xia sneered: "All you can do is use your power to control me, Ling Chengrong. I will never ask you for anything again."
She didn't struggle. After entering the lounge, she closed the door and forbade any further communication with anyone. When Ling Wenbang and Ling Wenying knocked on the door, she simply told them to go back. Once she returned to the capital star, she immediately packed her things and went back to her old bachelor apartment. Then she submitted the divorce papers. Why didn't she go back to her parents' home? Because she knew that the Song family would not approve of her divorce from the marshal of the First Legion.
