Chapter 117 Arrogant, vile, and haughty.
In contrast to the female insect's lament and sorrow about life.
Qi Min seemed much happier. After hearing what he said, Ling Yi actually offered to come pick him up, have dinner with him, and rest for half a day.
Qi Min immediately shared his location with Ling Yi and started booking a restaurant so that they could have lunch together when Ling Yi arrived.
Ling Yi looked at the location sharing sent on his personal terminal, and just as he had guessed, it was in the vicinity of the area he had been investigating.
He was initially somewhat concerned about what Qi Min meant by "criminals".
But when she heard Qi Min mention the location of the encounter, she relaxed and realized that it must have been Qi Min who had deliberately exaggerated the story to her.
The technology course that Qi Min attended today is usually only attended by female insects, sub-females, or female soldiers who are currently enrolled in school.
Male insects rarely go to these kinds of places, and even if they do, it's only a small minority.
Based on Qi Min's description, Ling Yi could roughly imagine that the criminals Qi Min mentioned were probably female insects who had feelings for him and had taken the initiative to approach him, but had chosen the wrong method that led Qi Min to misunderstand.
However, upon hearing Qi Min's seemingly complaining yet coquettish expression of longing, Ling Yi realized that she had indeed neglected him somewhat these past two days due to her busy schedule, and felt a little apologetic.
Looking at the scene, which had been investigated several times but still yielded no results, Ling Yi rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing from lack of rest and high tension.
He decided to take a half-day break, since it wasn't far away and he could also appease the powerful ruler who had been neglected by him.
Soon, Ling Yi received the message from his lord, who was waiting obediently at the door. But before he could say anything,
Just now on the phone, the male insect was acting pitiful and aggrieved, but suddenly his temperament changed, from weak and pitiful to domineering and unreasonable.
It pounced like a wolf that hadn't eaten for two days, snatching up the appetizer it had been waiting for.
Ling Yi's car, parked on the side of the road, remained motionless for a long time, which soon attracted the attention of the guard robot at the entrance.
"Ugh... Master, let go quickly! We can't keep parking here!"
Ling Yi reached out with difficulty, barely stopping Qi Min's enthusiasm, and gestured for him to look outside at the approaching surveillance robot.
Qi Min glanced at it helplessly, and seeing that the robot was really coming over, he finally reluctantly sat back down in his seat. However, before going back, he took a small bite before letting go.
Seeing that he obediently sat back down, Ling Yi quickly started the hovercar and left the place that had already attracted some attention before the warning robot could issue a warning.
They soon arrived at the restaurant where Qi Min had booked the meal. Fortunately, during the meal, Qi Min felt sorry for him always working overtime and didn't do anything else. He just kept adding dishes to his plate and talking about his day's achievements and his plans for the evening.
As Ling Yi ate the food that Qi Min had served him with serving chopsticks and listened to his rambling, he felt his tense nerves gradually relax as Qi Min spoke in a low voice.
At the hospital, Liu Yan, who only allowed her father-in-law to accompany her, insisted on being discharged after calming down.
"Father, I want to go home... Father, please take me home, I don't want to be in the hospital, I don't want to stay here..."
Liu Yan looked at Liu Zhe with a pleading expression, her face full of resistance to the hospital.
Looking at his son, whose face was full of pleading, Liu Zhe felt heartbroken and could only comfort him by saying that he would go out to report and apply first.
After all, Liu Yan was a surviving, underage male insect. Even if Liu Zhe held a high position, he couldn't disregard the rules and take him back directly.
Liu Yan nodded quickly and urged Liu Zhe not to stay too long and to come back soon.
Looking at Xiongzi, who had been inseparable from him since his return and was very dependent on him, Liu Zhe's eyes were filled with heartache and guilt.
Since growing up, Liu Yan has not been as arrogant and wicked as other male insects.
But as she grew up, she was no longer as close to him, her male parent, as she had been when she was a child.
This is quite normal, after all, Liu Yan has been very opinionated since he was old enough to understand things, otherwise he wouldn't have helped him escape from that male insect when he was young.
After watching his female father leave, Liu Yan buried himself back under the covers, trying to gain some sense of security in this way.
This was also how he comforted himself in that world, just thinking about the bloody scenes and terrifying monsters in that horrific hotel.
Liu Yan couldn't help but close her eyes in fear, trying to control her thoughts and stop thinking about it.
But the more he did this, the more uncontrollably his mind drifted into those memories.
When he and Lü Cheng ran out of that hotel and rediscovered the hustle and bustle of the world, he was almost moved to tears.
Liu Yan and Lü Cheng stared blankly back at the place they had run from, where they saw various intelligent devices and service robots again, which felt extremely unfamiliar.
If it weren't for those terrifying memories and the reminders of his missing companions, Liu Yan would have almost doubted whether everything he had experienced was just a nightmare.
"Go home... I want to go home, I want to find my female father, I want to find my female father..."
Liu Yan muttered to himself, his legs feeling weak, his expression dazed. Following his habit and memory, he took the airline bus, which he hadn't ridden in for several years, and tried his best to control his collapsing emotions as he slowly returned home.
Upon returning home, he immediately went to Liu Zhe's room, hoping to find his father-in-law.
But the room was empty, and there was even a thin layer of dust on the table.
Liu Yan touched the table with his hand, even wondering in a daze whether he had really come out or not.
He wanted to contact Liu Zhe, but Liu Yan's personal computer had been lost in that terrifying hotel long ago. He looked at the sky outside, which had already turned dark.
Liu Yan simply didn't have the courage to step out again, and he was too exhausted, so he could only stay in Liu Zhe's room in fear.
Just like when I was a child, I lay in bed, wrapped myself tightly in the blanket, trying to gain some sense of security.
But perhaps because his mind had been tense all along, he unconsciously fell asleep as soon as he returned to his familiar residence.
But he soon fell into the hotel nightmare again, struggling to escape.
When he woke up again, his female father was holding him. It was back in the hospital.
As Liu Yan slowly regained consciousness and his thoughts returned, he saw the female father he had been searching for standing beside him, looking at him with a worried expression.
