On the day Els led his army back to Planet 1, Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan received the news. They secretly hid in the distance and watched one space pirate after another disembark from the warship, but they did not see Li Ze.
Only after the warship's doors closed did Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan's faces completely lose their color.
"The big boss will definitely be alright, he's so strong." Chen Kaiyang didn't know if he was comforting himself or Wang Duan.
Wang Duan blinked his sore eyes. "Let's go find the space pirates and scout them out."
"They probably won't pay any attention to us," Chen Kaiyang frowned.
“We have this.” Wang Duan took out an energy crystal he carried with him. “One should be enough. You stay here, I’ll go by myself. You can help me if anything happens.”
Chen Kaiyang nodded, "Choose a space pirate with more serious injuries to ask."
“Okay. I know,” Wang Duan replied, picking out a lone pirate who was using a cane from among the group of space pirates.
Ten minutes later, Wang Duan returned with a grim expression.
"What's wrong?" Chen Kaiyang asked anxiously.
“Things are a bit complicated, let’s go back and talk about it.” Wang Duan grabbed Chen Kaiyang’s hand and pulled him back.
Chen Kaiyang was startled by the icy coldness of his hands, a bad premonition rising in his heart, and he immediately quickened his pace. Finally, the two of them simply ran, rushing all the way back to the dilapidated little house.
"Brother Chen, Brother Wang, you're back! Where's Brother Li Ze? Didn't he come back with you?" Xu Zhou asked casually.
Wang Duan and Chen Kaiyang ignored Xu Zhou and sat down in the living room. Wang Duan poured himself a glass of water to calm his turbulent emotions before saying, "Els projected the big boss into the sea of stars, and then He Xingjue rushed into the sea of stars and brought the big boss back to the warship. Now, whether the big boss is dead or alive, those space pirates don't know."
Chen Kaiyang was stunned for a long time, his eyes lifeless. "After entering the Star Sea, can a person still survive?"
“He Xingjue will definitely live, but it’s hard to say about the big boss.” Wang Duan’s face was ugly, filled with a gnashing hatred. “Els’s condition at the time was that as long as He Xingjue let them leave, he would release the big boss, but He Xingjue did not agree.”
Chen Kaiyang could understand He Xingjue's actions. On one hand, he was being schemed against by his family and forced to accept a partner by them; on the other hand, he had the honor of the empire. It was obvious that he would choose the latter.
“On the contrary, I think the big boss is still alive,” Chen Kaiyang said. His intuition told him that Li Ze was still alive. “What we need to do now is to find a way to contact the outside world.”
“The signal from Planet 1 is blocked. Once you leave Planet 1 and enter the Star Sea, you will be able to contact the outside world,” Xu Zhou said.
“We don’t have the boss’s contact number,” Wang Duan said, looking frustrated.
“The big shot is a celebrity in the empire, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find out information about him.” Chen Kaiyang wasn’t worried about that.
“Then let’s take a starship from Star 1 to Star 2. It will take two days and one night to travel there, which should be enough time for you to gather information. But do you have any money?” Xu Zhou looked Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan up and down, as if searching for anything valuable on them. “Let me make it clear beforehand that I have no savings and cannot afford to take a starship.”
“Yes. We have an energy crystal, which should be worth a lot of money,” Wang Duan said.
Xu Zhou's eyes widened. "You actually have that thing. That's the energy source for mechs and warships. With this, we can make more than ten round trips between Planet 1 and Planet 2. Come on, I'll take you to find a buyer."
Li Ze stayed in the hospital for two more days. During those two days, no one came to visit him, and no one came to pick him up when he was discharged.
Li Ze, dressed in a hospital gown, stood in front of the hospital gate, looking somewhat lost.
Where is he going?
How do I get there?
"Li Ze? Are you Li Ze?" a voice asked cautiously.
Li Ze turned his head and saw a girl in a pink dress staring at him with bright eyes. "Yes, that's me."
"Ahhh, it really is you! You're even more beautiful than in the video!" the girl exclaimed excitedly. "A thousand times more beautiful!" Her aura is absolutely stunning!
Li Ze remained expressionless in the face of the girl's praise and turned his head away again.
The girl didn't seem to mind Li Ze's coldness at all. She took a few more steps closer and asked familiarly, "What are you doing here? Waiting for a bus? What a coincidence, I'm waiting for a bus too. Wait, you're wearing a hospital gown. Can't you be discharged yet?"
Li Ze turned his head again, "Are you waiting for a car?"
In the original owner's memories, he was always picked up and dropped off by private cars, but after he became terminally ill, he fired all those drivers.
Therefore, the original owner did not know how to take a ride or how to ride a public flying car.
He, too, did not know.
"Yes, I'm waiting for my driver," the girl replied, then asked again, "Are you waiting for a car too? Can you be discharged from the hospital?"
“You can be discharged,” Li Ze replied.
"Then why are you still wearing a hospital gown?" the girl asked curiously.
“I have no other clothes,” Li Ze said calmly.
The girl's eyes widened. "How could that be! You're the kind of person who can donate 1.1 billion yuan so easily."
Li Ze pursed his lips and remained silent.
Just then, the car the girl was waiting for arrived.
The girl walked towards the car and said to Li Ze, "Goodbye, I'm leaving."
Li Ze grunted in response, his eyes fixed on the flying car in front of him.
"How about I give you a ride?" the girl blurted out, already prepared to be rejected.
To everyone's surprise, Li Ze agreed, "Okay."
Once in the car, the girl gave Li Ze water, fruit, and various snacks. "Want some?"
Li Ze wasn't interested in the food. "No thanks."
