Chapter 109: Variables [Update 1]
"Ziqian, there's no need to be so polite in front of me. Has what you just said been verified? Have the relevant scientific research materials been prepared? If this matter is to be promoted nationwide, it will definitely require the intervention of the parliament, but you can't deal with those old foxes. So, you should organize all the information and send it to me, and I will deal with the parliament."
"good."
He Ziqian no longer insisted on addressing the man as "Your Highness," which made him very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Ruan Xi, his face immediately beaming. "Is this the Goshawk Squad's miraculous doctor?"
Ruan Xi: "..." There seems to be something a little off about this young genius doctor being called the Goshawk Squad? Looking at the expression on the officer next to him, it's clear that he has something to say that he's not daring to say, something stuck in his throat.
"Hello, Your Highness. I am Ruan Xi." It's better not to take the title of little miracle doctor for granted. As for what others think, that is not something he can control.
"Hello, hello. You don't need to use honorifics with me. Ziqian and I are good brothers who grew up together. My name is Jin Haoyu. Since you are his lover, you are also my brother. I wish you all the best. When you return to the Imperial Capital Star, I will treat you to a meal. The chef in my mansion is quite skilled."
Ruan Xi: "...Thank you."
This guy is truly worthy of being a prince. He speaks in a lot of official language, and it is obvious that he did it on purpose. It seems like he has hung the label of "intentional" on his forehead. Is he afraid that others won't see it?
Ruan Xi couldn't help being curious. After all, it was a rare opportunity to dig up some gossip about the eldest prince. So, he leaned close to He Ziqian's ear and whispered to him.
"Is the eldest prince arguing with the person next to him? It feels like every word he says is meant to irritate him."
What’s quite funny is that the other party seems to be very angry.
"Well, General Tian is the eldest prince's cousin. He is very strict both at the base and at home." The implication is that the eldest prince is getting annoyed by being controlled so much that he is taking revenge on his cousin!
Well, this muddy water is treading with quite a sense of rhythm, it’s interesting to think about it.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not good for you two to whisper in front of me like this, right?" The prince looked gentle and elegant, but when he spoke, he showed a bit of eccentricity, which made people feel no incongruity, as if he was supposed to be such a contradictory person.
As expected, no one who plays politics is simple. Anyway, Ruan Xi doesn't want to bother with such people.
"You said it was a private conversation, how could I tell it to others?" Ruan Xi showed a gentle smile, and then, a message tone rang from his communicator. Ruan Xi took a look and saw that it was from his little apprentice Yayue.
"You guys chat, I have something to take care of." Ruan Xi called out, then shrank aside to chat with his little apprentice.
Unexpectedly, what the young apprentice told him was actually something related to evolution.
"Are you saying that there are strange changes in Zhao Lianshi? Tell me in detail what kind of changes they are."
Then, Zhao Yayue carefully recounted all the changes in Zhao Lianshi in the past few days, even mentioning that he had to go to the toilet twice more in one day. Ruan Xi was a little amused and helpless when she heard it. She estimated that if Zhao Lianshi was present, he would be so embarrassed that he would explode.
"According to your description, Zhao Lianshi has evolved some characteristics of nocturnal animals. Yayue, does anyone else know about this?" Ruan Xi was almost certain that Zhao Lianshi had also evolved.
However, Zhao Lianshi was on Yulan Star, a planet that until recently was a desolate one, known only to a few. How could he have come into contact with aliens? According to current scientific research, only those who had direct contact with aliens could become the first humans to evolve. This stage would not be short, at least not over a decade.
So what is the source of Zhao Lianshi's evolution?
"No, I didn't tell anyone except you, Master, because I was afraid that my cousin would be in danger." Zhao Yayue's message popped up quickly, showing her anxiety.
"Yayue, don't worry. Just pay a little more attention to your little cousin and don't do anything else to avoid arousing other people's suspicion. I will go to Yulan Star after I finish my work here. Don't worry, Master will take care of this matter."
If Zhao Lianshi's evolution is no different from that of other evolved humans, then it is very likely that alien races have appeared near Yulan Star but have not been discovered by anyone.
If this is really the case, then the situation is quite serious. It is very likely that the alien race has already infiltrated the Yinyu Empire in other more covert forms.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xi's expression gradually became solemn. After finishing the information exchange with his little apprentice, he realized that the communication with He Ziqian had also ended long ago.
"What happened?" He Ziqian asked with concern when he saw him look up.
"Now that things here are settled, I'm afraid we'll have to go to Yulan Star again..." Ruan Xi leaned close to He Ziqian's ear and told him what his little disciple had said and his own guesses. The expression on He Ziqian's face immediately became stern.
"I'll let Ren Wei go over and take a look first to avoid any trouble." With Ren Wei's ability, as long as he wanted, no one would discover his whereabouts, and naturally, no one would be able to guess his purpose.
"That's right. I'm a little worried about the safety of Yayue and the others. I'm afraid that Yu Lanxing has been targeted by aliens for a long time." Ruan Xi frowned slightly and muttered to himself, as if talking to himself. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at He Ziqian.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke: "Tell me, what incredible treasures are there on Yulan Star that we haven't discovered yet? Perhaps, even Yayue and her entire tribe don't know about their existence? There are too many possible variables on Yulan Star..."
The more Ruan Xi thought about it, the more frightened he became. If he continued thinking like this, he felt that Yulan Star would soon be invaded by aliens and then destroyed. Just thinking about it made him feel a chill in his heart.
He just accepted a young apprentice! Otherwise, why not take the apprentice to teach him? No wonder he's worried...
"Don't assume the worst. Perhaps Zhao Lianshi's evolution was just an accident? Once things are settled here, we can go over there and see for ourselves. We'll be able to determine what's going on."
"Yes, I am a little worried. I am just a little worried about my little apprentice." The little girl is very careful. She discovered something that others didn't notice. God knows if it will bring disaster to herself.
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel!
"Alright, alright. I've already texted Ren Wei. He'll be leaving for Yulan Star soon. With him around, Yayue will definitely be fine."
"I hope so..."
The two returned to the He family with worries, and the two old men immediately came forward to greet them.
Mr. He had an excited smile on his face. He held Ruan Xi's hand and shook it without hesitation, and kept saying words of gratitude and praise. At first, Ruan Xi was a little confused, but he soon reacted.
"Grandpa He, this is not my credit. The basic information was provided by the research institute. I just provided a guess." Ruan Xi pointed to his head slightly mischievously, which made Grandpa He regain some composure. However, he could not hide the smile on his face as always, and his happiness was beyond words.
Seeing this scene, Mr. An felt unhappy. He stepped forward to pull his old friend away and hid Ruan Xi behind his beloved grandson. "Talk to him nicely, why are you touching him?"
These words sounded quite sarcastic. People who didn't understand the situation might think that Mr. He was trying to snatch the person from He Ziqian. Everyone present was clear-headed and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
However, after being disturbed by Mr. An's disturbance, Mr. He calmed down completely. He pulled Ruan Xi and He Ziqian to the study and sat down to discuss business. He had already decided that He Ziqian would take the research institute's information back to the Imperial Capital Star and hand it directly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in charge, this matter would surely be more effective. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that some people would not distinguish right from wrong and would insist on stirring up trouble.
"Grandpa He, I have something important to do and would like to leave early. But don't worry, I will write down Uncle He's recuperation plan in detail. As long as you can keep an eye on him and strictly follow my plan, I guarantee that he will recover."
If these words were spoken by someone else, Mr. He would definitely not believe them. However, when these words came from Ruan Xi's mouth, their credibility soared. He himself did not quite understand where this inexplicable sense of trust came from. He just trusted instinctively and felt that such trust could bring them the greatest benefits.
His greatest hope is that his only son can be healthy and strong.
Health is just around the corner, and with the blessing of evolution, he can't help but be satisfied.
"Alright! Grandpa won't hold you back. Keep a close eye on your Uncle He. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll break his legs."
Upstairs, a patient who was sneaking out of the room silently withdrew his foot in the air under the threat of his father's powerful voice, slowly returned to the room, got on the bed, and lay down.
He should just recuperate. Otherwise, if his father breaks his leg, he’ll be in trouble as the second-in-command of the base! His face will be thrown into outer space!
Downstairs, Mr. An was already accustomed to his old friend's hot-tempered style, while He Ziqian and Ruan Xi were seeing such a "bold" Mr. He for the first time, and they were both stunned for a moment.
Ruan Xi was only worried about one thing - he could beat him, but he had to control the degree and not let his recuperation plan start over again!
The next afternoon, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian quietly left Sirius in a small spaceship, and flew towards Yulan Star via the military jump station.
