Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 107 The Marshal Insists on Hindering Me (32)

Qi Ye and Shi Qi subconsciously looked in the direction of the two, and saw that Huo Yan's mecha had lost control due to the insectoid attack and was falling straight towards Star S due to gravity.

An Jianxing couldn't care less about this anymore. He left with a sentence: "Leave this to you! I'm going to save him!" and piloted his mecha towards Huo Yan, who was falling rapidly.

Qi Ye remained calm: "Let him go, let's deal with what's in front of us first."

Then it attacked the Crimson Gold Insect King, which was protected in the very center. Fortunately, the Insect King was mainly strong in mental power and had only average defense. It was no match for the top-tier mechs and was reduced to ashes in just a few hits.

With the death of the Insect King, the other Insects were suddenly leaderless, and they collapsed, losing their original order and running around in disarray.

Compared to before, they no longer pose a threat and were quickly wiped out by human armies.

Leading the remaining soldiers back to the camp, Qi Ye, whose men An Jianxing and Huo Yan had not yet returned, immediately ordered a search for all the soldiers who had been in the crash. He knew that most of them were likely dead.

----

About an hour later, An Jianxing's mecha appeared in front of the military camp gate, and Huo Yan was being held in the mecha's arms, covered in blood and looking very badly injured.

Qi Ye and Shi Qi were still waiting for them when An Jianxing's voice came from inside the mecha: "Quickly call the military doctor!"

Huo Yan was placed on a stretcher and rushed to the military medical department for emergency treatment. An Jianxing didn't even bother with the mecha, leaving it behind and leaving with Huo Yan's stretcher.

When Qi Ye, Shi Qi, and the other rescue teams returned and arrived at the military medical department, Huo Yan's surgery was already over. He was lying pale-faced on the hospital bed, while An Jianxing sat anxiously on a stool beside his bed.

Qi Ye spoke up, asking in a low voice, "How is he now?"

An Jianxing seemed to only then realize someone had entered, and turned to look at Qi Ye who had asked the question: "The military doctor said his internal organs are damaged, and we don't know exactly when he will wake up."

Before Qi Ye could respond, An Jianxing continued, "It's all my fault. I should have been the one attacked by the Zerg; he pushed them away for me..."

His voice was filled with guilt, and his eyes reddened as he spoke: "I'd do anything as long as he wakes up..."

Qi Ye stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry too much, I believe Lao Huo will be fine."

An Jianxing remained silent, but his anxiety did not diminish in the slightest. For the first time, he realized how important Huo Yan was to him. So important that if Huo Yan truly did not wake up, his heart would die along with him.

After a long silence, An Jianxing spoke again, his voice trembling with tears: "Boss, I feel so heartbroken..."

His statement proves that his feelings for Huo Yan are different, but he himself has not yet realized it.

Qi Ye decided to speak up for Huo Yan: "Why do you feel upset?"

An Jianxing shook his head: "I don't know either, I just feel uncomfortable."

Qi Ye patiently persuaded him, "Do you know what this means? It means you care about him! Imagine if I were lying here right now, what would you do?"

Although An Jianxing wasn't very interested, he still answered him, "Boss, what are you talking about? Isn't Shi Qi taking care of you? It's not my turn!"

Qi Ye: "Look, I'm your brother too, why don't you feel sorry for me? Besides, there are other people who can take care of Lao Huo besides you. And I'm his brother too, my feelings are not as deep as yours."

After hearing Qi Ye's words, An Jianxing fell silent.

Qi Ye said, "You continue taking care of Lao Huo. I'll take Shi Qi back first." Then, he turned and left, concealing his accomplishment. He believed that although An Jianxing wasn't very bright, he would still be able to figure things out.

After leaving the ward, Shi Qi asked, "Are you trying to set them up?"

Qi Ye nodded in agreement: "I originally thought only Lao Huo was interested in him, but it turns out he was just too dense. Saying this now is to repay a favor to him." After all, An Jianxing had been his strategist.

He hadn't gone far when Qi Ye was stopped by a soldier rushing around: "Marshal! Shi Shuo is missing!"

----

Qi Ye immediately ordered a search within the army, but they couldn't find Shi Shuo anywhere: "Could he have escaped in the chaos?" Qi Ye guessed.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qi shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple. With his own abilities, can he really escape? Besides, there's no evidence that he escaped."

Qi Ye continued to speculate, "Or were they kidnapped?"

Shi Qi: "That's hard to say, after all, there were no signs of him struggling in the room."

The situation suddenly became complicated, and as the leader of the military region, Qi Ye had to find the person and give the royal family an explanation.

Three days later, just when things had made no progress, Shi Qi received a message from Xu Miao.

As soon as the call connected, Shi Qi heard Xu Miao's joyful voice on the other end: "I heard you and the Marshal destroyed the Insect King together... You truly are my child. But Shi Shuo is back, why is there still no news from you?"

Shi Qi exclaimed in surprise, "What? Shi Shuo has already gone back?"

Speaking of this, Xu Miao's tone was a little anxious: "Yes! Their faction has been pressuring His Majesty to establish an heir!"

Shi Qi: "I understand, Mother. I will go back as soon as possible."

Qi Ye overheard everything from nearby. After Shi Qi hung up the call, both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes. How could they have returned to the capital planet from S planet without realizing it?

Something just didn't feel right. After a moment of contemplation, Qi Ye said, "It's a good opportunity to give the army a break while we're eliminating the Insect King. I'll go back with you and take a look."

----

Upon returning to the capital planet, Qi Ye and Shi Qi received a warm welcome from the king, who said that a banquet had been prepared to celebrate their victory.

Qi Ye naturally couldn't refuse. At the banquet, the two saw Shi Shuo, who had been missing for several days. Next to him sat a handsome long-haired man that neither of them had ever seen before.

For some reason, looking at this man made Shi Qi feel inexplicably uncomfortable. The man noticed his gaze as well, his cold eyes sweeping over him, hiding a hint of barely perceptible hatred, which Shi Qi took in.

Shi Qi didn't understand where this hatred came from, since the two had never met before. Perhaps it was Shi Shuo who stirred things up.
