Qi Yan's "reluctance" and Doniel's "reluctance" are different in a sense.
Qi Yan is reluctant to leave the planet Chiklis, the lovely children, the free life, the interpersonal relationship without intrigue... and Doniel, who he doesn't know when he will see again.
Doniel just can't bear to leave Qi Yan.
"...If possible, after I finish what I have to do, can I come back?" Qi Yan suddenly asked softly: "Ah, I seem to have said something very presumptuous, I'm very sorry..."
"No!" Doniel hurriedly shouted: "Okay, as long as you want, Samud will always welcome you to join."
"...I thought you would doubt me." Qi Yan chuckled: "Maybe, I am really an important government official? It's my good acting skills that deceived your eyes."
Doniel was silent. He firmly believed in Qi Yan, so no matter what time, he wanted to believe Qi Yan.
But now, Qi Yan suddenly asked this question, and Doniel didn't know how to answer.
His heart was as clear as a mirror, but he had nothing to say. Doniel's silence made Qi Yan's heart sink slightly.
"Well, these are obviously not important anymore." Qi Yan smiled: "I hope we can meet again in the future."
The place agreed with the government to exchange hostages was a space station, not big, and they would leave after exchanging the hostages. Somehow, the government pretended to care about Qi Yan very much, and was willing to exchange all the Samodians for Qi Yan alone.
When they arrived at the agreed space station, the government's spaceship stopped there very sincerely, and the Samodian hostages were also handcuffed and detained in the open space.
Qi Yan looked at himself and felt light, and then looked at the Samodian hostages through the window, feeling guilty.
Doniel and the two pilots were so angry when they saw this, but they could do nothing.
They stopped at an open space that was more conducive to flying, with Doniel leading the way, followed by Qi Yan, and finally one of the drivers following behind Qi Yan
. The government official opposite was someone Qi Yan had never seen before. When he saw that person, Qi Yan's brows wrinkled undeniably.
- This person gave him a very uncertain premonition.
"Ah! You are finally here!" When that person saw Qi Yan, his eyes suddenly lit up: "We won't talk nonsense, then you can take your own people away and hand Mr. Qi Yan over to us."
As he said that, he was going to take Qi Yan back.
Doniel frowned slightly and stood in front of Qi Yan: "Stay away from him!"
The man was not a pushover either, and his expression changed all of a sudden: "What do you mean? Do you want to break the contract?"
"Huh, are the people in the government only as smart as you?" Doniel sneered: "That's really pitiful."
"Hey! What do you mean!" The man was enraged, and was about to hit Doniel while roaring. Doniel dodged and let the man fall to the ground because he couldn't control his strength. He looked so wolfish and it was hilarious.
Doniel walked over to the Samod people, ignoring the government's alert looks, and after carefully circling around them, he turned to the government official who had just climbed up and said, "Qi Yan, stay with me first. My men will take our people back to the cabin first." This was Doniel's plan. After all the Samod people were brought back to the cabin, he would keep Qi Yan...
and Qi Yan... for a while longer.
The government official was reluctant at first, but seeing that Qi Yan had no intention of saying anything, he kept silent. After waiting for the co-pilot to bring all the Samod people back to the cabin, it was time for Doniel and Qi Yan to separate.
"...You, be good."
After being silent all the way, Qi Yan only said this sentence in the end.
Doniel was stunned, and his heart ached for some reason: "Yeah. You too."
They said goodbye hastily. Obviously, there was so much time before that to express his feelings properly, but all the opportunities disappeared in the silence of the two. Only now do they regret that time.
Doniel turned around, and his tall back occupied Qi Yan's entire sight. He stared at him and smiled bitterly in his heart. Qi Yan shook his head, thinking that it was his own fault.
The two were immersed in grief and did not notice that not far away, a small team of government demolition soldiers flashed in the dark.
Just as the cabin door was about to close, the officer suddenly shouted: "Attack--!"
Doniel's pupils in the cabin suddenly dilated, and he wanted to turn his head in disbelief, but a huge explosion came to his ears, and Doniel's tall body was knocked down by the air flow.
Qi Yan stood on the platform, watching the cabin door that could have been tightly closed being blown to pieces!
"Doniel--!" Qi Yan shouted and ran towards the cabin.
Inside the cabin, Doniel heard Qi Yan's call, and crawled up from the ground with his bones that were about to fall apart.
"Doniel, how are you!"
"Doniel, are you okay..."
"Leader..."
The Samod people in the cabin gathered together and supported Doniel's shaky body.
Doniel felt his mind was in a mess, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes. It was obvious that he was hit hard by the airflow after the explosion.
"The government is a bunch of villains!"
At this moment, everyone finally understood that this transaction was nothing more than a trap!
When Doniel thought of this, the first person he thought of was Qi Yan. Will he get into trouble? Sure enough, those people from the government were just using him as a cover!
Doniel, who had just recovered, quickly gave orders: "Check to see if there are any problems with other devices. Now hurry up and take off and leave here! Follow our original plan and avoid the government's secret soldiers!"
After saying that, Doniel actually walked outside.
"Where are you going, Doniel!" a Samod shouted.
Doniel did not look back, but waved his hand: "I will be back later!"
- Qi Yan, wait for me!
Outside, Qi Yan had just taken a few steps towards Samod II when he was surrounded by government soldiers.
"Mr. Qi Yan, we now suspect that you are colluding with the Samod pirates and betraying the interests of the Shuta Star. We are now arresting you for treason." The government official laughed wickedly at this moment: "Oh, how pitiful. Just like your old-fashioned father."
Qi Yan stared at him with wide eyes: "Try to say another word!"
"...Yo, yoo, you won't let me tell you?" The man laughed, "Your father died so miserably because he went against the government's wishes..." "
..." Qi Yan clenched his fists, anger brewing in his eyes.
"Oh, by the way." The man touched his pure gold ring nonchalantly: "I wonder whose ashes are being worshipped in your house now."
- Professor Qi? Ha, he died without even a trace left!
