Chapter 999 My Fish (Two Chapters in One)

Zong Ruoning suppressed his excitement and checked the account again. When he found that it was really Xia Chujian, he pulled out the virtual display screen with trembling hands and clicked "Accept".

He really didn't expect Xia Chujian to have news so soon!

In an instant, the virtual display screen lit up in the bedroom with blackout curtains.

Xia Chujian's dishevelled appearance appeared on the virtual display screen in front of him in a blink of an eye.

She was visibly tired and haggard, as if she had traveled thousands of miles before appearing in front of him.

Zong Ruoning's heart tightened suddenly.

He took a deep breath and said, "Chujian, where are you? I'll pick you up right away!"

When he saw Xia Chujian's appearance, he thought she was still trapped in some distant place.

But since she could use video communication, she must have returned to the Beichen Galaxy.

As long as she was in the Beichen Galaxy, no matter on which country's planet, he could quickly pick her up!

When Xia Chujian saw Zong Ruoning, she suddenly thought of the unfair treatment she suffered on the other side of the Green Star, and her mood suddenly became terrible.

She didn't need to pretend at all. She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Commissioner Zong, I'm back."

"I'll just report to you. Please don't tell anyone else, okay? Including people in the school."

Zong Ruoning's expression became serious: "You're back? Where are you now? Tell me, I'll go see you right away."

After a pause, he also promised, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Xia Chujian thought about it and said hesitantly, "Can I trust you?"

Zong Ruoning said, "I'm your teacher. If you don't trust me, who else can you trust?"

Xia Chujian couldn't help but sneer, "So what you mean is that the school will give me an explanation for the bullying I received at Green Star?"

Zong Ruoning immediately said, "Of course. Whether you come back or not, those who bully you will not have a good end."

Xia Chujian didn't expect Zong Ruoning to say that.

If she really died, she didn't think Zong Ruoning would do anything for her.

But the fact that the other party could say this now proved that he was also thoughtful.

Xia Chujian appreciated this.

Moreover, she still needs Zong Ruoning's help to deal with the person who harmed Xiao Fei and caused her to fall into the "God's Gate" and almost died.

Xia Chujian knew that it was almost impossible for Qiu Zining to suffer by herself.

So in her calculation, the first thing she thought of was to let Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning, the descendants of the two great nobles, endorse her.

This is also using magic to defeat magic.

Moreover, Qiu Zining's true identity is probably more complicated than she revealed.

Xia Chujian acted aggrieved and angry, but in fact she was calm.

A gentleman's revenge is sooner rather than later.

Xia Chujian stared at Zong Ruoning for a long time, nodded slowly, and said: "Then I will trust Zong for once."

"When I woke up, I found myself in the Forest of Strange Beasts."

Xia Chujian said, showing the background in the video, and her own location, which was exactly in the Forest of Strange Beasts.

Zong Ruoning was very surprised: "You are actually in the strange beast forest?! You...was in the strange beast forest of Guiyuan Star as soon as you woke up?"

"You came directly to the strange beast forest of Guiyuan Star from the 'God's Descent Gate'?!"

Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows: "Do you know that the gate is called the 'God's Descent Gate'?"

Zong Ruoning said: "Yes, so many people saw it at that time."

Xia Chujian said faintly: "But there is no inscription on the door, I didn't even know that the door was called the 'God's Descent Gate'."

Xia Chujian knew that the door that Qiu Zining kicked her into was called the "God's Descent Gate" until she went to the Kingdom of Devotion.

Zong Ruoning was speechless for a moment, and realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

But facing Xia Chujian's suspicious, uneasy and fragile eyes, Zong Ruoning hardened his heart and whispered: "Well, I know more than most people."

"If you want to know, I can tell you everything."

Xia Chujian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Is that so? We'll talk about the details later. I want to go home now."

Zong Ruoning also stood up and said: "I'll come to see you right away."

Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows and said: "My home is in the suburbs of Mulan City on Guiyuan Star, near the exotic beast forest. There is a small manor. I want to go home now."

Zong Ruoning said: "My private aircraft will arrive at Guiyuan Star in twelve hours."

Xia Chujian said: "Okay, I will be home in four hours, and then sleep for eight hours, and then I can meet Commissioner Zong.

And Chief Quan.

Xia Chujian silently added in his heart.

The two people who should be notified have been notified.

Xia Chujian thought of her cheap master Su Buyan, hesitated for a moment, and still did not send him a message.

Su Buyan has a typical scientist personality. In his professional field, he is a god.

But in other aspects, he is more careless.

Xia Chujian did not want too many people to know that she was back for the time being, so she refrained from sending a message.

In fact, even if she sent a message now, Su Buyan would not receive it.

He and his staff were going to solve a technical problem.

They had been in a fully enclosed studio for more than a month. According to convention, all external communications had to be cut off.

Unless it was a matter of the level of the country's destruction and the family's demise, no one could disturb them.

So Su Buyan didn't know at all that Xia Chujian went out to participate in the interstellar exploration this time, but did not come back with everyone.

……

It was already past ten in the morning when Xia Chujian returned to her small manor.

Yingying went to school, and Aunt Chen and the housework robot Beijiayi were at home.

Beijiayi's memory had been reset, and it didn't remember that Xia Chujian had returned yesterday.

Seeing Xia Chujian, its electronic synthesized voice was polite: "Master is back."

Seeing her look, Aunt Chen was also very surprised: "Chujian, you are back!"

"Your aunt and we are so anxious! Your aunt simply took the big and small in the family to Beichen Star to wait for you!"

Xia Chujian's face was calm, and he said: "Aunt Chen, I'm too tired, let me rest for a while."

Aunt Chen nodded repeatedly, and said distressedly: "Where have you been? Look at this mud!"

"Go take a shower! I'll make you something to eat, and then go to sleep!"

Xia Chujian nodded and walked up the stairs alone.

The lonely back revealed fatigue and desolation.

Although Aunt Chen knew that Xia Chujian did it on purpose, she still felt uncomfortable.

She knew that although Xia Chujian was back, the difficulties she faced had not decreased at all.

For a family like them, without any background, it was difficult for them to make a name for themselves by their own abilities!

Aunt Chen's worried expression was genuine and not fake at all.

Xia Chujian returned to her bedroom, put away Shao Siming's black and silver mecha, and went to the bathroom to take a good bath.

Then she ate the food Aunt Chen brought up, and then fell on her bed, sleeping soundly and unconscious.

At around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, when Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning stopped near her house in a small aircraft, she was awakened by Yingying.

"Chujian, my mother asked me to tell you that two groups of people came outside. Are they here to find you?"

This was what Aunt Chen saw from the surveillance in the manor.

Of course, it was the mechanical intelligence of the surveillance that notified Aunt Chen.

Xia Chujian changed into a comfortable casual outfit and went down from the second floor with Yingying.

She went to the monitoring room to take a look and said, "Yes, they are here to see me."

"I'll go open the door."

She came out of the mansion and walked along the winding corridor in the courtyard to the gate.

Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning also happened to come to the door and were about to ring the doorbell.

Xia Chujian opened the gate and smiled and said, "What a coincidence, did you two come on the same interstellar spaceship?"

Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning looked at each other and smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's a coincidence."

They didn't admit it, but they didn't deny it either, obviously they didn't want to talk more about this topic.

Xia Chujian stepped aside and let them in.

They sat down in the living room of the Xia family manor, and the housework robot Bei Jiayi brought them two cups of tea.

Zong Ruoning was visiting Xia Chujian's home for the first time. He couldn't help but look around and praised, "This house is really nice, and the decoration is very tasteful."

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Excuse me, I don't have money, otherwise I can decorate it with more taste."

Before Zong Ruoning could react, Quan Yuxun had already smiled and said, "That's right, if my client had money, even the toilet at home would probably be gold-plated."

Xia Chujian sighed, "If you have money, it's not gold-plated, but pure gold! - It shows that you still don't have money."

Speaking of this, Xia Chujian couldn't help but think of her suitcase containing pure natural gold ore...

It's still in Huo Yushen's hands!

I don't know when he will return it to her!

Zong Ruoning looked at Xia Chujian in astonishment. She really didn't expect that this was her taste.

Quan Yuxun took a sip from the teacup to cover up the corners of his lips that were quietly curled up.

Xia Chujian also sat opposite them, holding a bottle of advanced nutrient solution, unscrewing it and taking a sip.

Seeing this, Zong Ruoning couldn't help but ask, "Do you only drink nutrient solution at home?"

Xia Chujian was actually hungry outside this time, so she thought that nutrient solution, which can quickly replenish nutrition and eliminate hunger, is particularly good.

So she drank nutrient solution at home in revenge.

But facing Zong Ruoning's question, she shrugged habitually and said, "I'm poor, there's nothing I can do. I'm already very satisfied to have high-quality nutrient solution to drink."

"When I was trapped in the Kingdom of Devotion, I had nothing to eat or drink for several days and nights, and I almost died there."

As she said, she took another sip of high-quality nutrient solution and said with emotion, "At that time, I swore that I would never dislike the taste of nutrient solution again!"

"If there is high-quality nutrient solution in front of me again, I must drink it for 100 times!"

Zong Ruoning felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

He knew that there were many people in this world who lived in poverty, but he never realized that there were people around him who even a full meal was a luxury...

Quan Yuxun's mouth twitched.

He was not frightened by Xia Chujian's words. She could afford such a house and get dividends from the business he and Su Buyan had established. How could she be poor? !

But he could also feel that Xia Chujian had indeed suffered a lot this time.

Because she was darker and thinner, her aura was like a sharp sword out of its sheath, with an unmatched edge and a fierce spirit of death for anyone who stood in her way.

He took another sip of tea, and did not expose Xia Chujian's "complaints". He just said intentionally or unintentionally: "Really? How did you end up somewhere else alone?"

"Aren't there many people participating in the interstellar expedition together?"

Xia Chujian secretly praised Quan Yuxun in his heart.

She put down the finished tube of high-grade nutrient solution, looked at Zong Ruoning, and asked tentatively: "Commissioner Zong, you should know very well how I fell behind alone, right?"

Zong Ruoning's face darkened and he said, "Well, everyone saw what happened at that time and also recorded the video."

"You didn't come back before. Qiu Zining insisted that it was an accidental injury. She said that it was Qiu Zijun who she wanted to kick, but she accidentally kicked a robot. It was the robot that knocked you behind the door. In fact, you suffered a disaster. She has no direct connection."

Xia Chujian also sneered: "Is it okay to just say the disaster of the fish in the pond? Has she asked me about this fish?!"

Quan Yuxun: "..."

Zong Ruoning: "..."

They all think this is a bit interesting. It seems to make no sense at first, but after thinking about it carefully, there is still a meaning in it that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Quan Yuxun's eyes darkened.

Zong Ruoning was also thoughtful and said: "But if she was really accidentally injured and you came back safely, it seems that even if you are held accountable, it will not rise to the level of criminal law?"

He looked at Quan Yuxun and said, "I'm not an expert in this field. It depends on what Chief Quan wants."

Xia Chujian also looked at Quan Yuxun and said, "Chief Quan, you are my attorney. Do you want to protect the interests of my client?"

When she was trapped in the Kingdom of Destiny and the Waste Star Cemetery, she had scolded Qiu Zining tens of thousands of times in her heart.

And she also knew that just scolding in her heart wouldn't do.

Qiu Zining must pay a real price!

Thinking of Qiu Zining's face under the hood, Xia Chujian felt irritated again.

At this time, she would rather Qiu Zining have the face of "the emperor's illegitimate daughter" than the real face under her human face hood...

Xia Chujian thought about it and felt hungry again. She turned around and said to the housekeeping robot Beijiayi: "Give me another high-grade nutrient solution."

Bei Jia slid to the kitchen and took another tube of high-grade nutrient solution from the refrigerator cabinet for her.

Xia Chujian took it, opened the lid, and drank another half of the tube.

When you are in a bad mood, food is the best way to relieve stress.

Quan Yuxun looked at Xia Chujian and felt her anxiety and depression, thinking that it was because of Qiu Zining's identity that everyone tacitly understood, which made her feel aggrieved.

He said slowly: "First of all, Qiu Zining is not a noble, so it is okay to sue her."

"But if it was really a friendly accident and you have returned safely now, her responsibility will indeed not be very great."

"In terms of criminal law, if you can prove that your body has suffered disabling injuries, she will also be held criminally responsible."

Xia Chujian pursed her lips and said angrily: "So I didn't suffer any disabling injuries, but I still protected Qiu Zining?"

"What kind of broken law is this! Do you only know how to protect criminals?!"

This is today’s update, see you tomorrow, guys!
