From the time Nan Zhuxing's starship's arrival to the official arrival of the starship, it only took about ten minutes. But in such a short time, all the residents who were free in the surrounding area actually gathered here. Looking down from the sky, it was really a dark mass. It was a very spectacular sight.
After seeing the scene below through the window, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be shocked. After seeing his reaction, Meng Jinhuai also walked over and looked down. Obviously, he didn't expect so many people to come here today.
"Today's matter has a great impact in the Interstellar." After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, he looked away from the window. After thinking for a while, he turned to another assistant in the cabin and said, "Don't be in a hurry to land later. Fly around the parking lot."
Now that the starship was about to arrive at the destination, not long after Meng Jinhuai's order was issued, the onlookers found that the huge starship in front of them was not in a hurry to land. Instead, it adjusted its direction and appeared above their heads.
At first, no one realized what the starship was doing. After all, the military's starship was loaded with a lot of weapons, and it looked very oppressive to the naked eye. But it didn't take long for someone to figure out what Meng Jinhuai was trying to do. In fact, the Marshal was greeting the people in this way.
Unlike the nobles on the starship today who were far away from the flames of war, the residents who lived on the edge of the Empire knew better than anyone else that peace was not easy. The planet that the starship chose to land on today was an inconspicuous one among the countless ordinary residential planets of the Yetian Empire. Some people couldn't even pronounce its full name.
However, the people who lived on this planet had deep feelings for the military. Although it was not a military planet, the security here was still in charge of Nan Zhuxing. There were no precious resources on this planet, and the economic level was also very average. And because it was located close to the edge of the Empire, the security here was more complicated than most other planets.
Duan Hengye, who was standing by the window, saw that while the starship was flying above the crowd, the people below were screaming and waving enthusiastically.
Recently, Duan Hengye had been studying the history and geography of the Empire. Therefore, he knew that Meng Jinhuai had been here many times in recent years due to its special location. Clearly, Nan Zhuxing had not neglected this place, and the residents here would never forget Nan Zhu.
The scene beneath his feet was so shocking that Duan Hengye could not help but place his hand on the cold window. While he was quietly looking at the scenery below the starship, Meng Jinhuai placed his hands on Duan Hengye's shoulders. It was clear that Duan Hangye and Meng Jinhuai were not the only ones in the cabin, but the atmosphere between the two naturally separated them from the rest of the people. The accompanying assistant, who had also been looking down from the window, silently shifted his gaze to the side.
After a few laps, the starship flew back to the docking area.
After all, the conditions of the planet they landed on were limited. The military did not give each guest a separate starship. Instead, they were divided into several groups. Even though they usually took luxurious private starships to travel back and forth in space, no one was picky now.
After the starship landed, the first group of people immediately followed the military staff out. After all, the scene was a bit chaotic. Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai did not show up again. At this moment, Duan Hengye suddenly received an entry request.
It was from Duan Hengxing.
After seeing the name, Duan Hengye was a little surprised, but he still accepted the request.
After boarding the starship, Duan Hengye changed into casual clothes. It was a simple black T-shirt. Although it was very suitable for the current temperature in the starship, when the two hands on his shoulders left, he suddenly felt a bit of coldness and reluctance.
After turning around, Duan Hengye's gaze paused there for a moment, then he looked at the door.
It just so happened that Duan Hangxing also walked to the door at this time. Compared to his usual sloppy appearance, Duan Hengxing's temperament today was particularly serious. At the same time, the military staff in the cabin also saw Duan Hengxing.
These staff members were already very familiar with Duan Hengye. As for Duan Hengxing, the staff members have seen him at banquets or on the Star Network before. But today, after suddenly turning around, they finally realized the similarities between Duan Hengxing and Duan Hengye for the first time, and then they realized the close relationship between the two.
Duan Hengxing, who was standing at the door, gently put one hand on the edge of the door, and his eyes fell on Duan Hengye. After seeing Duan Hengxing's expression, Meng Jinhuai glanced at Duan Hengye, then walked out of the cabin. Seeing that Marshal Meng left, the other staff members looked at each other and followed Meng Jinhuai out.
After a while, only Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were left in the cabin.
Duan Hengye remembered the last time he was alone with Duan Hengxing. He didn't feel anything when the situation was critical, but now, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward. After the other people in the cabin left, Duan Hengxing finally walked in slowly.
Duan Hengye didn't know if it was because Duan Hengxing was wearing a formal suit today, but he looked a lot more mature than before.
When he was standing at the door just now, Duan Hengxing still had a calm expression, but after everyone in the cabin left, Duan Hengxing became nervous. At this time, Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing stood on opposite sides of the room, separated by a sofa.
Duan Hengye looked at the man in front of him and said, "Sit down first."
"Uh …" Hearing this, Duan Hengxing walked over and sat on the sofa. He couldn't help but look up at Duan Hengye, and then he became nervous.
Duan Hengxing's nervous expression didn't escape Duan Hengye's eyes. After he sat down, he waited for a while and estimated that Duan Hengxing's emotions had calmed down, so he hesitated and asked, "What's wrong?"
After saying that, Duan Hengye felt that he didn't ask the right question. But seeing Duan Hengxing's reaction, he didn't choke on Duan Hengye's question. In fact, the two's previous conversation was like this, blunt and straight to the point.
"Um … I wanted to say thank you to you." Duan Hangxing spoke very slowly, and his hands were tightly clenched together as he spoke. Although his movements weren't obvious, Duan Hengye still saw it.
When he saw Duan Hengxing standing at the door, Duan Hengye was already a little prepared in his heart. But when he heard these two words from Duan Hengxing's mouth, he still felt that it was a little unreal.
After saying this, Duan Hengye didn't wait for Duan Hengxing to react, and then he suddenly stood up from the sofa. Duan Hengye saw that Duan Hengxing's expression was now a lot more relaxed. It seemed that after saying those words, the huge stone in his heart had also been lifted.
At this moment, the young man standing in front of Duan Hangye felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Seeing Duan Hengxing stand up, Duan Hengye also stood up. The two were standing on opposite sides of the sofa, and after getting up, they still maintained a short distance. It seemed that there was a bit of politeness and alienation that couldn't be ignored.
Duan Hengxing was silent for a moment, and then he said, "You're very good. What I said before … was indeed a bit ridiculous. " When he said the first sentence, he looked straight into Duan Hengye's eyes, looking very sincere. But when he said the last sentence, his eyes carried a bit of disappointment that couldn't be ignored.
It had to be said that Duan Hengxing's words just now surprised Duan Hengye. But before he could figure out how to reply, he saw the other party sniff, then his expression changed as he said, "Okay, then I'll be leaving." Compared to the tense and nervous tone just now, the other party's expression changed. At this moment, Duan Hengxing was relaxed. After he finished speaking, he nodded to Duan Hengye and directly walked out of the cabin.
After Duan Hengxing's back completely disappeared from the door, Duan Hengye finally realized something.
Before today, almost every meeting between him and Duan Hengxing was unpleasant, and most of the time, it only happened when Duan Hengxing asked him for money. And in those previous meetings, Duan Hengxing would basically call him "brother" — — even though his tone was often sarcastic. But this time, Duan Hengxing didn't call him that. The two of them were like strangers, and finished this conversation with incomparable politeness.
After the conversation between Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing ended, Meng Jinhuai also finished his work and walked back. When he opened the door and saw Meng Jinhuai walking towards him from the other side of the corridor, Duan Hengxing politely nodded to him, then followed the instructions of the staff beside him and walked to the starship's exit.
"What's wrong?" After entering the starship, the door closed again.
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye slowly shook his head, then slightly frowned and truthfully said to Meng Jinhuai, "Duan Hengxing just came to say 'thank you' to me." While speaking, Duan Hengye's fingertips couldn't help but gently rub the edge of the sofa.
Although Duan Hangye had simply repeated Duan Hangxing's words and didn't add his own opinions, Duan Hangye still hadn't said anything. But after he finished speaking, Meng Jinhuai immediately understood what Duan Hengye wanted to express.
Although Duan Hengye didn't have any memories of his childhood, and the few times he interacted with Duan Hengxing before were not pleasant. But the man who just left was still Duan Hengye's only family in this world. The two words "thank you" were both gratitude and a reflection of distance.
Duan Hengye was a little lonely, not because of Duan Hengxing, but because of his own loneliness.
This was what Meng Jinhuai guessed, but what he didn't expect was that because of this feeling, Duan Hengye once again thought of his family in his previous life. Because the interstellar didn't have a very standard concept of "years", Duan Hengye didn't remember how long he had been in this world. Coupled with his busy work, he often forgot to recall the past. However, Duan Hengxing's estranged conversation just now reminded Duan Hengye of the faces that were slowly becoming blurred in his memory.
Thinking of this, Meng Jinhuai reached out and patted Duan Hengye's shoulder, then lowered his head and said softly, "I'm still here, it's okay."
After listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye's furrowed brows relaxed, then he smiled and said, "Okay."
The incident that happened on Empress's family planet began with a bang. But it ended a little too abruptly.
After Nan zhuxing's starship sent Empress back to her planet, she and the other family members were placed under house arrest on this planet. Because of the chaotic news at the time of the incident, the royal family was also questioned. But things were just as Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai imagined. For the time being, the royal family threw all the blame on Empress's family.
After a while, Duan Hengye found out that while he and Duan Hengxing were talking in the starship cabin, Meng Jinhuai and Empress also had a conversation. However, he didn't ask Meng Jinhuai about the results and content of their conversation.
As for the focus of people's attention. It seemed that in a very short period of time, the incident itself had shifted to "Duan Hengye actually knows how to pilot a mech". Because the incident happened too quickly, and because the incident happened in an unmanned interstellar area, no video was released. But the more this was the case, the more curious people were about the incident.
Not long after, the interstellar media reconstructed the incident according to the captive guest's words. Not long after the video was released, it quickly spread throughout the interstellar. But not long after, a lot of people who witnessed the incident reposted it and pointed out that the operation in the simulation video was not even one-tenth of what it was in real life.
The topic of discussion on the interstellar came and went quickly. Clearly, people were very concerned about the galactic pirate incident before, but once the video was released, the previous incident was washed away in people's minds. But … this speed seemed to be a bit too fast. After seeing the discussion on the interstellar network, Duan Hengye wondered if someone was deliberately obscuring the incident behind the scenes. In fact, his guess was right — not long after the incident, Nan zhuxing began to deliberately lead the discussion on the internet.
At first glance, it seemed to be obscuring the main point, but in fact, it was secretly burying a bomb …
A few days later, the royal family's report on the incident was finally released under the urging of the Empire's parliament. But if Duan Hengye saw it, this report was really deceptive. As long as you had a little understanding of the incident, you would find the loopholes in it.
When the report came out, Meng Jinhuai was in a meeting on Nan zhuxing. The rest of the military staff saw that after the meeting was paused and read the report, Meng Jinhuai suddenly smiled coldly at the holographic screen.
The military staff present all came down from the battlefield with Meng Jinhuai and had seen the murderous look on his face countless times. But today was different. In addition to the murderous look, Meng Jinhuai's body was more chilling.
If the previous Meng Jinhuai was a lion that claimed to be the king of the grassland, then today he was more like a giant python hidden in the jungle.
Seeing Meng Jinhuai like this, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but look at Dongfang Hewen sitting opposite him. Although the two of them didn't speak, the tacit understanding accumulated from years of working together made them immediately reach a consensus. Meng Jinhuai probably already prepared a "gift" for the royal family. He was just waiting for the right time to send it out.
Because of Meng Jinhuai's expression, the dozen people in the military conference room didn't dare to breathe loudly. After a while, the marshal finally reached out and closed the holographic screen from the royal family's report and returned to the previous meeting.
The perfunctory tone in the royal family's report was too obvious. Seeing that Meng Jinhuai didn't say anything, a staff member sitting next to him hesitated for a moment before asking, "Marshal … Do we need to do anything?"
Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, wait a little longer."
Meng Jinhuai was waiting for Lan Jingchi to solve the last major issue.
The poison in Duan Hengye's body was really complicated. Even with the addition of Lan Jingchi and the cooperation of the entire research institute, the antidote still couldn't be created in a short period of time.
Because he officially joined the research institute in Nan zhuxing and began to preside over the antidote antidote work. Lan Jingchi also knew about the relationship between Duan Hengye and the royal family, as well as Empress's family. Although he felt that Duan Hengye was a very mysterious person, Lan Jingchi never thought that there was such a past behind him.
While waiting for the antidote to be made, Duan Hengye often went to Nan zhuxing or the research institute to do regular physical examinations. Unlike last time, these physical examinations were not to check the effects of the poison on his internal organs, but to detect the amount and movement of the poison.
A few months ago, Lan Jingchi began to adjust the temporary antidote. Although each adjustment wasn't big, after several rounds of physical examinations, it could be found that the poison in Duan Hengye's body, which was originally still and even constantly growing, finally showed signs of movement.
This was a good thing, but also a very risky thing.
As a supporting male lead who was once half a step into the ranks of villains, Lan Jingchi was also very bold when it came to making an antidote. Probably in the entire interstellar now, except for Lan Jingchi, no one dared to use the "fight poison with poison" method on Duan Hengye …
When he first heard Lan Jingchi's idea, Duan Hengye was also shocked and hesitated for a while. But in the end, when he remembered the description of Lan Jingchi in the book and saw the other's confident expression, Duan Hengye still accepted the other's suggestion.
Lan Jingchi was indeed a person who didn't disappoint. After a period of experimenting with using the antidote, the poison in Duan Hengye's body began to move and gradually weaken. But because the antidote and the poison attacked each other, Duan Hengye's body once again visibly weakened at the same time as the poison decreased day by day.
Although he knew that this was a necessary process to detoxify the poison, Meng Jinhuai still told Duan Hengye to temporarily move his main work location from the research institute to Nan zhuxing.
In this day and age, working in a foreign place was no longer a difficult thing. It was only because the research on mecha was confidential that the research institute's normal staff had to use the institute's photon computer to conduct research to prevent information leakage.
But Duan Hengye wasn't a normal staff member, at least he didn't have to worry about information leakage.
Although the location was changed, Duan Hengye still had a video conference with the research institute's staff every other day after returning to Nan zhuxing to start work. Because of the time difference between the two places, the meeting time was always in the afternoon where the research institute was located and in the morning where Duan Hengye was located.
Yesterday, Duan Hengye had just taken the new drug developed by Lan Jingchi. Although his mind was still as strong as before, his body was a bit too weak. In the morning, his biological clock didn't work. If it wasn't for the fact that he had set up the robot beforehand, Duan Hengye would have slept through the meeting.
But even though he got up before the meeting started, it was still a bit rushed.
Duan Hengye walked out of bed a bit shakily. After washing up, it was already time for the meeting to start. Thus, Duan Hengye, who didn't have time to go to the office, walked to the desk in the corner of the bedroom, put on a coat over his pajamas, and started the video conference.
The only people participating in the video conference at the research institute were Su Mingge and a few of the more important research team leaders. After working for a while, not only Su Mingge, but everyone else was no longer as afraid of Duan Hengye as before. They even joked with him from time to time during the meeting.
But today, after Duan Hengye opened the video conference with a rare delay of one minute, everyone who saw the video became serious. When the video started, Duan Hengye was still adjusting the photon computer, so he didn't appear on the screen immediately.
But the beige wall behind the desk told the people on the other side of the video that Duan Hengye wasn't in the previous office. Then, Su Mingge determined Duan Hengye's current location by looking at the floor lamp behind him.
"… Duan Hengye, are you in the bedroom right now?" Su Mingge hesitated for a moment before asking.
Hearing his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After adjusting the photon computer, he walked over to the desk and sat down. Then, he organized the meeting documents while nodding slightly.
When he was washing up, Duan Hengye didn't notice that his complexion was as bad as Duan Hengye's. If he had to make an analogy … From Su Mingge's point of view, today's Duan Hengye was very similar to the time when he fainted in front of him.
Before Duan Hengye could raise his head, the image on the holographic screen in front of him suddenly changed. The images of the other staff members disappeared. Only Su Mingge was left on the holographic screen with a serious face.
What was going on? Before Duan Hengye could react, he heard Su Mingge's extremely serious voice. It was as if he was torturing himself as he asked, "Duan Hengye, what happened to you? Don't hide it from me. "
Even though Su Mingge didn't say anything, Duan Hengye felt that Su Mingge was imagining things. After all, Professor Su was someone who once asked him if he was dying.
