Chapter 165 Gu Zheng’s Inner Perspective
Gu Zheng followed her words, and an ungentlemanly idea flashed through his mind.
“…It’s bad, so what.”
Gu Zheng fastened his trouser legs and looked up at the girl in front of him.
The two of them were very close, and in a trance, it seemed as if he was holding the person in his arms. Waves of minty fragrance came from him, making Gu Zheng's back slowly tense.
"you……"
"you……"
Gu Zheng pursed his lips and whispered, "Are you scared?"
“…Be afraid, Gu Zheng, I killed someone.”
He Jing's eyes turned red instantly, and big tears flowed out like they were free.
The sound of the bullets landed on the back of Gu Zheng's hand, burning him and causing a dull pain in his heart.
"Don't be afraid anymore." Gu Zheng gently held her in his arms and carefully stroked her back.
"You are protecting yourself, that's right."
The person in my arms didn't respond for a long time, and I felt a hot and wet feeling in the crook of my neck.
Gu Zheng felt like there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat. It was soft, but it suffocated him and his heart felt like it was about to explode.
He Jing's crying gradually became louder and then slowly disappeared.
Only after hearing steady breathing in his arms did Gu Zheng move his numb legs, gently picked up the person and put him on the bed.
I have a fever.
Gu Zheng frowned, took out some antipyretic medicine from the medicine box and coaxed the person to take it.
The kitten was very well behaved. Its face wrinkled slightly with pain, but it didn't spit it out.
The spaceship stopped, Gu Zheng tucked in the quilt and walked out quietly.
The girl who had just unlocked the door came over to greet him when she saw him coming out, "Captain, how's Xiaohe?"
"He has a fever and is sleeping now. You stay here. A doctor named Wen Xi will be here soon."
"Okay, Captain." Dai Yao nodded, quietly opened the door and walked in.
Gu Zheng's face darkened completely. He raised his hand to take off his coat and strode out.

"Lieutenant General Yang, even though you are General Gu's deputy, you can't make decisions on his behalf in the parliament, right?"
Yang Ziang sat upright in his seat with a serious expression on his face, "Of course not, I'm just conveying General Gu's decision."
"What's this?"
"That's right. Even though General Gu is a high-ranking official, he can't even be absent from the parliament, right?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the people led by the Rights Center looked sanctimonious.
Yang Ziang remained calm, "It's not considered an absence. General Gu is just dealing with some matters and will be here soon."
Luo Ning looked embarrassed. "It's not right to suspend the meeting just for General Gu. This is not in accordance with the rules..."
"Director Luo, don't you at the Rights and Interests Center read the law? Article 786, Section 86 of the Parliament states: Important decision-makers and voters of the Parliament who are late for 40 minutes still have the right to attend the meeting, and the meeting must be suspended to wait."
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows. "Oh? 40 minutes, but there are only two minutes left. Are you sure your General Gu can still make it?"
Yang Ziang imitated him and raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Director Luo doesn't need to worry about this."
My eyes dropped, and I screamed inwardly! Damn! Why hasn’t the captain come yet?!
48 seconds, 47 seconds, 45 seconds... 18 seconds, 17 seconds, click.
Everyone turned to look and saw the door of the hall slowly open. A straight figure walked in against the light.
"Sorry I'm late."
“…”
The crowd was shocked.
No one knew who spoke first, but everyone stood up to greet them. "It's not too late, just right."
Luo Ning's face twisted. Gu Zheng! He actually made him rush back!
What the hell is this Slick Serling doing?!
Can't you even do this little thing?!
Gu Zheng looked imposing in his military uniform. He lifted his long legs and sat down opposite Luo Ning, looking up with an expressionless face.
The two looked at each other, and Luo Ning looked away with an ugly expression.
"Since Gu Shang is here, let's officially start the meeting."
The people behind Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and put their hearts back in their stomachs.
The long and boring meeting lasted until five o'clock. When the meeting was adjourned, the nobles of the Luoning faction looked ugly, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes.
Gu Zheng calmly stood up and walked over to Luo Ning. "Director Luo, didn't I tell you not to have some ideas?"
"What are you talking about, General Gu? Aren't these suggestions of mine for the better development of the Federation?"
Gu Zheng walked into the spaceship, and Wen Xi stood up when he heard the voice.
"how's it going?"
"He's still asleep. His external injuries are all gone, and his temperature has dropped. The fever is most likely caused by shock. This kind of shock-induced fever is usually high, recurring, and less effective than medication."
Gu Zheng nodded and took off his coat. "Do we need to cool down physically?"
"Yes, it's best to combine it with physical cooling until the fever is completely gone, and it's best to have someone watch over you."
"Okay, I'll do it." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qi called.
"What's going on? Is Xiaohe okay?"
"I was a little frightened, I have a fever, and I am sleeping."
"Hey, Serin let him get away, and the tail was cleanly swept away. Someone must be helping him. Could it be someone from the Rights Center?"
"Well, more than that, Luo Ning doesn't have that much ability now."
"Do you want to continue investigating? There's a high probability that we'll only find some people who are taking the blame."
Gu Zheng was silent for a moment, "Let's check first."
"Okay," Tang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "What about you? Where are we going next?"
"Go directly back to the Central Star."
Tang Qi nodded, and the camera flickered to reveal a person. "Are you relieved now?"
The other party seemed to have not expected the camera to turn around, and clenched his hands in panic, "Captain... I'm sorry, I didn't protect the lady well."
Tang Qi quite liked this kid. He held his hand and helped him talk before Gu Zheng spoke. "This kid has been following me in the pursuit of Serin this afternoon. During one of the exchanges, this kid almost blew Serin into a firefight with a single shot. His combat awareness is quite good."
"Well, is it time for field training soon?" Gu Zheng took a sip of the water beside him, his eyes neither cold nor hot.
"Yes Captain."
"Participate with peace of mind. Investigate your subordinates thoroughly before you go."
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Ziang hovered around Gu Zheng, wanting to ask what had happened. Why did Xiao He fall ill again? Was she injured?
However, seeing his captain's frozen face, he didn't dare to ask, "I'll go to the cockpit..."
Gu Zheng nodded and walked to He Jing's door. He paused, thinking that many people would smoke in the conference room in the afternoon, and the smoke would affect her.
After a two-second pause, he turned and walked into the lounge nearby.
Gu Zheng walked into the bathroom, raised his hand to unbutton his shirt, accurately found the washing machine in the dim light and threw it in.
[Ding! Starting, estimated end time 2 minutes.]
The sprinkler turned on automatically and Gu Zheng lowered the water temperature.
After taking a shower, Gu Zheng took out the dried clothes from the washing machine and sniffed them. The pungent smell of smoke had disappeared, replaced by a refreshing mint scent.
It’s not quite the same. It’s different from the mint scent I smelled on He Jing in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng turned around and took another cold shower.
It was not until the bathroom door opened again that Gu Zheng, neatly dressed, walked out of the cold room.
Only after the coldness on his body dissipated did Gu Zheng open He Jing's door and walk in.
When Dai Yao saw the person, she bowed quietly and turned to walk out.
