Stardust Remembrance

Chapter 31: Life has its variables (5)

"Mrs. Commander?" Qian Xu's voice drifted as if it came from a very distant place.

Maybe he wanted Loran to say "wrong person", but Loran didn't even dare to look at him.

Brown Li raised his voice unhappily, ''Commander's wife! Your Highness! Did you hear what I said? Please get out!"

Loran knew she should get out, but her body trembled lightly and uncontrollably. If it wasn't for the fact that one hand was still gripping Zi Yan's arm tightly, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to stand.

Zi Yan said to Brown Li, "I'll escort the princess out."

He took her shoulders in a false grip and led her out of the hospital room.

Zi Yan said, "Go sit in the restroom for a while."

Loran violently opened his hand and stared at him with tears in her eyes, "Why are you doing this? Don't tell me you didn't know anything and just accidentally bumped into it!"

Zi Yan was expressionless and silent.

"In these ten years, I can't believe you haven't been watching me. Knowing that Qian Xu knew was always Luo Xun, why did you allow Brown Li to reveal my identity?" Loran gradually reacted, "You know Brown Li's style of doing things very well and knew the outcome before walking into the hospital room, you did it on purpose! It wasn't Brown Li, it was you! It was you who wanted to dismantle my identity in front of Qian Xu! Brown Li was used as a gun by you!"

A sneer floated on Zi Yan's lips, "It seems like it's not just me who's been observing you for the past ten years, you've been observing me as well, and know me well!"

"Why?" Luo Lan's eyes were filled with resentment.

She could accept Zi Yan breaking down her lies, but she couldn't accept the timing he chose. When she quarreled with Qian Xu and questioned if Qian Xu was going to cut her off, Zi Yan added insult to injury, making it clear that he was going to force Qian Xu to deepen his misunderstanding and break off his relationship with her. She had just been foolish enough to seek skin with the tiger and beg for his help.

Purple Banquet smiles and raises his eyebrows, spreading his hands with a face full of innocence: ''Why? Is there a need for a way to state a fact?"

"You bastard!"

Luo Lan was filled with grief and anger, like a child fighting, she used all her strength to push Zi Yan fiercely, but the difference in physical strength between the two was too great, she didn't push Zi Yan, instead, she was bounced back and staggered backwards, falling to the ground.

Luo Lan's heart is full of sadness, tears weeping.

Zi Yan's eyes were complicated, but her face was still smiling, ''Hey! Is it necessary to react so violently? It's just popping a soap bubble."

"I only have soap bubbles!" Luo Lan wiped away her tears, stood up, and turned to run.

"Luo ......" Zi Yan subconsciously wanted to chase after her, and immediately stopped, just watching her back fade away.

Luo Lan rushed out of the institute's building and bumped into someone, looking up to see that it was Tatsuya.

Instead of apologizing, she questioned, "What are you doing?"

With Tatsuza's physical ability, even if she ran at him in a hundred-meter sprint, he could easily dodge out of the way, so what was the point of watching her crash into him?

"What happened?" Tatsuya asked without answering.

His ice-cold voice was like a pot of cold water, dousing the nameless fire in Loran's heart. She had already done too many stupid things tonight, don't offend her real boss again.

"Qian Xu knows that I'm Princess Loran, the wife of Commander Duke Tatsusa."

"What was his reaction?"

Loran said bitterly, "He wanted to cut ties with me even before he knew my true identity."

Tatsusa was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you shoot at that time? If he hadn't regained his senses in time, you would have been torn apart alive by him."

"Aren't I standing here with a good head on my shoulders now?"

"You're gambling with your life."

"He's Qian Xu, it's worth gambling with your life."

Tatsuya said coldly, "He's not Qian Xu. When the mutation happened, he was no longer the person you knew, just a man-eating beast. Your intolerance just allowed it to hurt you and the one who truly cares for you."

Loran couldn't help but question, "If you ever mutate, should it kill you immediately as well?"

"If I mutate, I want you to kill that beast immediately." Tatsuya pointed at his head, his expression unusually firm and stern, "I have already been killed by that beast, and you killing it will only be revenge for me."

Loran's mouth was half-open, staring blankly at Tatsuza, surprisingly, someone thoughtfully figured out a good reason to convince someone to kill them.

She murmured, "There has been one case of regaining sanity."

"Nearly seven thousand people, only one, 001 probability, and, he lost his sanity completely during the second mutation, I never believed that a miracle would come to me."

Loran suddenly felt so tired that he just wanted to fall back to sleep, "I want to go back."

"Good."

Tatsuha gave the flying car instructions through his terminal, and before long, the flying car flew over and stopped in front of Tatsuha and Loran.

Loran's head was next to the car, gazing out the window at the dreary night.

The tracks of the interstellar train coiled in mid-air like a shining dragon, and the lights of thousands of homes twinkled like stars in the sky in the night.

I don't know which light illuminates Qian Xu, and I don't know if Qian Xu can calmly turn off the light and sleep tonight.

It's been ten years, and she's grown to love this planet in Qian Xu's company, and when she decides to stay, she's going to lose him.

Above the quicksand, nothing can exist.

Luo Lan's heart was like a knife, and she closed her eyes with difficulty.

The flying car parked outside her home, Loran leaned crookedly against the seat and fell into a deep sleep.

Tatsuha gazed at her silently, the images he had seen earlier floating in his mind -

Chisoku slams the car window hard, Loran crying and shouting.

Gradually, Loran's face turned into the face of another woman crying and shouting.

"Run! Run hard! Don't look back!" Using her own body as a block, she pushed a small boy out of the speeder with force, quickly locking all the doors.

The little boy obeyed and ran forward as hard as he could, but, against his will, he looked back.

Inside the locked flying car, the woman was pounced upon by the ferocious beast, scarlet gore splattering against the window.

Her face was pressed tightly against the glass window, twisted and distorted by the crush, her lips opening and closing feebly, "Run! Run ......"

Through the closed car window, the little boy could not hear her faint voice at all.

However, the grief, despair, pleading, and hope in her eyes were louder than the loudest voice, and the little boy cried while continuing to run forward with all his might.

There was a deafening explosion behind him, and he stopped in his tracks and turned back, frozen with tears on his face.

The flying car had turned into a pitch-black mess, with only the rushing flames blazing.

Tatsuha suddenly raised his head and saw Purple Banquet and Brown Li standing outside the car, one smiling, the other with a somber face, but both eyes showed undisguised surprise.

The door of the car gently opened, and Tatsusa silently left the flying car.

"We all walked to the car before you noticed, what are you thinking? Did you suddenly realize that your wife is beautiful?" Zi Yan said half-jokingly.

Brown Li stared at Loran inside the car with a displeased face, "I still have questions to ask her. How can I ask questions if I don't wake her up?"

Tatsuya ignored Brown Li's questioning, "The two bodyguards I sent to covertly protect Loran were all killed and their terminals were destroyed, leaving no clues behind. However, the recorder on Loran's flying car is still intact, have you seen it?"

Zi Yan said, "Read it. Their plan was very meticulous, if not for that man's alert judgment that the police car was a fake and the sudden mutation, I'm afraid they would have succeeded. The maneuver is very much like the assassination of the consul a few days ago, a chain of events."

Brown Li added, "Having checked the identities of the four men, they should be professional assassins who came to Alicata on vacation posing as miners working on the Energy Star. The police cars and uniforms were purchased on StarNet's black market, the payment accounts were not in the Federation, and they were canceled immediately after use, making them untraceable. I've checked Chixu's file, his experience is clean, he graduated from the military academy and entered the military service, he hasn't carried out any covert missions, and he's already switched to civilian work for more than ten years, he has doesn't look like it's targeting him. Combined with the last incident, it can be judged that it should be an operation against the princess."

Tatsuya coldly asked, "That's all? No clues?"

Zi Yan and Brown Li were silent.

"There's a fake police officer who spoke." A tired voice with a nasal tone suddenly rang out.

All three men looked at Loran.

"I think ...... he seems to have a bit of a strange accent."

Brown left his gaze, "Any other abnormalities?"

Loran thought carefully for a while and shook his head.

Brown Li turned around and left.

As Zi Yan left, she glanced at Luo Lan and said to Chen Sha, "The princess has been attracting trouble bodies lately, until we find out who and why is targeting her, tell her not to run around, and go out with a few extra bodyguards."

Tatsuza nodded, indicating that he understood.
