Chapter 124 General Gu’s Bed is Smells Good

"Sorry, I fell asleep..."

"Nothing, did you sleep well?"

He Jing's ears felt hot, and his eyes were a little evasive. "Very, very good."

Smelling Gu Zheng's scent, I slept exceptionally well. o(*//▽//*)q

"That's fine. It's time for dinner. Let's go."

He Jing hurriedly lifted the quilt, put on slippers, and followed Gu Zheng towards the door.

The moment he turned around to close the door, his eyes fell on the slightly messy bed.

He paused and looked away in panic.

"It's really thanks to you today, otherwise more students might have been killed."

"They really won't wake up?"

"Yeah, brain dead."

He Jing felt a little down, then looked at the tall and straight man in front of him and asked anxiously, "Will you... be held accountable?"

"No, I'm just cooperating this time. The command is not mine."

Gu Zheng paused and turned to meet a pair of worried cat eyes. "This matter is very serious. It's no accident that Ashton surrounded you. The police station and the Ministry of National Defense will come to question you. Don't be afraid. Just tell me what you know."

He Jing pursed his lips into a straight line and nodded.

Then a big palm landed on the top of my head, and a familiar warmth came slowly. A deep voice rang in my ears, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He Jing finished his dinner absentmindedly and suddenly felt empty when he returned to his room.

The exams are over, and there are no more things I have to do every day. I feel like I have lost my direction.

He Jing watched videos on his tablet and saw reports online that said all kinds of things and that the people were in a panic.

A variety of comments flashed before He Jing's eyes, and all the conspiracy theories made her dizzy.

He Jing got up from the bed, put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.

The sunny greenhouse was filled with cold moonlight. He Jing didn't turn on the lights, but curled himself up in the swing following the moonlight.

The screen of the intelligent computer kept flashing. It was the messages sent by his uncle, Aunt Jiang and others after they saw the news. He Jing explained it to them one by one and finally calmed everyone down.

Accompanied by the sky and flowers, He Jing put the intelligent computer aside and empty his mind.

This world seems to be more dangerous than imagined.

What did Gu Zheng mean when he said that Ashton surrounding them was not an accident?

How could Zerg appear in such a large-scale exam?

Zeyu Lyon is dead.

…

I don’t know how long it took, but sleepiness gradually set in. He Jing returned to the room and his eyes lingered on Gu Zheng’s door for a while.

It was not until He Jing's door was closed and the corridor returned to silence that the dark shadow at the corner of the corridor appeared.

Xiao Wu frowned, leaned against He Jing's door with his arms folded, and closed his eyes.

After dinner, Gu Zheng was called away by the Ministry of National Defense. Ashton had already woken up, and some insects were captured alive. The entire interrogation building was brightly lit.

"I'm sorry, General Gu, for disturbing you so late, but Ashton didn't say anything and insisted that you come..."

Song Mingjie's assistant Shen Wei brought Gu Zheng to the audience room. This serious invasion incident has been handed over to the Ministry of National Defense.

"Well, I'll do the trial."

Gu Zheng put on his gloves, took the notebook and walked in.

"Dad, Uncle Song."

Co-investigators Song Mingjie and Gu Qidong sat on the sofa and nodded to Gu Zheng.

After reading the information, Gu Zheng looked at Ashton through the one-way glass. The other party had his hands fixed on the interrogation chair and his eyes closed.

As if she had noticed something, she opened her eyes and met Gu Zheng's gaze through the glass.

Gu Zheng opened the door and walked in. Ashton said softly, "You're here."

"Well, go ahead."

Ashton looked at the tall, cold man in front of him, as if he was back to the last time he met him on the battlefield. He was so strong and confident that many Zerg soldiers were defeated at the mere mention of his name.

He thought he would die on the battlefield, but he didn't expect it to be here.

However, being defeated by Gu Zheng was a worthy death.

Ashton sighed softly, and the guarded look in his eyes faded away, and he felt extremely relaxed.

"Wen Xun Lyon contacted me some time ago and said that he could let us enter the Central Star and the examination hall, but the prerequisite was that we helped him kill two people, your brother and the girl named He Jing."

Gu Zhengchui covered up and didn't move. Ashton paused and continued, "We got in smoothly. According to the plan, we deliberately caused some commotion in the surrounding areas. Soon you gathered the candidates into one area."

"We implanted an agitator in the exam room... Everything went smoothly. I knew it would alarm you, so I wanted to evacuate early, but that girl named He Jing had to die. It's a pity you arrived too quickly."

Ashton spoke in a calm tone, and even had a look of surprise in his eyes when he mentioned He Jing.

It’s a pity that a human with such a high level of mental power couldn’t kill her.

Gu Zheng had a blank expression on his face, and finally raised his head: “Wen Xun Leon’s son is dead.”

"How is that possible? He knew about the plan."

"Besides Leon, is there anyone else?"

"I don't know about that. This is an internal matter of your federation."

…

After asking a few more questions, Gu Zheng closed the notebook and walked out. Ashton suddenly said, "You can't protect her."

Gu Zheng paused and clenched his fingers slightly on the door handle.

"The Zerg are already aware of her existence. With such a high level of spiritual power, the Zerg will definitely find a way to get rid of her."

The door closed, Gu Zheng didn't answer, and Ashton closed his eyes.

In the audience room, Gu Qidong's face looked a little grim. Song Mingjie patted his shoulder and soothed him, "Don't listen to his alarmist rhetoric. He's under our protection. How can they just move him whenever they want?"

Gu Qidong nodded, and Gu Zheng opened the door and walked in. "There is a surveillance camera in his right eye."

"What?!" Song Mingjie's face changed and he stood up immediately. "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Song Jieming gritted his teeth and hurried out with his men.

"How did you find out?"

"His eyes twinkled when he mentioned Hejing."

Hearing this, Gu Qidong frowned again, "Send a few more people to Xiao Wu later."

"Yeah." Gu Zheng nodded, "If everything is fine, I'll go back."

Gu Qidong waved his hand.

The stairs were dim, with only the night lights on the wall emitting a faint glow. Gu Zheng turned into the corridor, paused, and his eyes fell on Xiao Wu's face.

Xiao Wu quickly stood up and saluted Gu Zheng silently.

Gu Zheng glanced at him and walked away quietly.

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the door behind him, and followed Gu Zheng.

He wanted to stay with the young lady, but... the captain seemed to have something to say.

Gu Zheng walked into the room and waited for the person behind him to close the door before speaking: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xiao Wu responded, "Yeah, I stayed in the greenhouse for a while and just went to bed."

"Well, I'll assign a few more people to you tomorrow. There's something you need to consider."

Xiao Wu was stunned, and his head buzzed, "What?"
