Chapter 722 - How Dare You Hurt Su Wan?!
Chapter 722: How Dare You Hurt Su Wan?!
Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold eyes were completely frozen.
As long as he thought about how Su Wan once carried a child for Ming Ye, he had the urge to smash things!
Officer Li looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome and silent face. Although they were thousands of miles away, at this moment, he actually had the illusion that he would get frostbite across space!
Although this newly promoted Emperor was young, his aura was extremely powerful, not inferior to the high priest at all.
No wonder the High Priest would appoint this young man as her successor.
Officer Li was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and his back was already drenched with sweat. He raised his head in fear and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to report something.
“Your Highness, I...”
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips tightly. He was in a fit of anger, and at this moment, his angry eyes were wide open. His ice-cold gaze swept toward Officer Li.
“What else do you want to say?”
Officer Li shuddered. The words that he had originally thought of were instantly swallowed into his mouth, and he immediately stuttered.
“Your... Your Highness, I want to say that although we haven’t found Miss Su yet, we have caught the robot that has been obstructing our work.”
Officer Li kneeled on the ground in fear. Although he didn’t raise his head, he could feel the sharp gaze on him.
“The reason why we lost was largely because we didn’t expect that robot to have offensive power. That robot... should be Miss Su’s.”
As he spoke, cold sweat kept rolling down Officer Li’s face. Officer Li was really afraid, even more afraid than when he faced the high priest before.
At the very least, it was better to blame Nono than to say that they couldn’t do it themselves, right?!
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, his thin lips instantly pursed into a straight line.
Su Wan’s robot...
That troublesome Nono, the little guy whose surface was covered in rust?!
That robot, which looked like it was about to be scrapped, actually had the ability to attack?
Because no one spoke for the time being, there was a strange silence in the air. Officer Li lay on the ground uneasily, wishing he could find a hole to hide in right now.
No matter what happened last time, at least Director Fan was still by His Highness’ side. He could more or less help him share some of the pressure. Furthermore, Director Fan was used to dealing with the emperor. In any case, he could give him a few words of advice.
Now he finally knew how terrifying it would be to communicate with the emperor alone!
Just as Officer Li’s breathing slowed, the emperor, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
“Bring it up first.”
Officer Li knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation. When he heard these words, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. He stood up, picked up the laser communication device at the side and began to instruct his subordinates.
Soon, in less than a minute, two uniformed guards carried Nono up.
Nono had been battered by the wind and rain in a place like Planet Allen, so its surface had aged very quickly. After being shot several times, it looked even more miserable now.
On the rusty metal surface, there were bullet holes of various sizes. No one would believe that Nono had not been crippled.
Seeing Nono’s miserable state, Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and frowned.
“What happened to it?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s face darkened as he spoke. His eyes were so dark that they looked like they were going to eat someone!
“Did you shoot Su Wan?!”
Although Jiang Xuecheng was extremely angry at what Su Wan had done, Jiang Xuecheng had never thought of hurting her!
After all, his first order was to have Officer Li and the others bring Su Wan back unharmed!
“No! No! Your Highness, please don’t misunderstand!”
Officer Li hurriedly shook his head like a rattle-drum. He awkwardly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and then began to explain in fear and trepidation.
“How could I forget Your Highness’ order? You said that you wouldn’t let Miss Su be hurt. We only shot at this robot and the fugitive.”
After hearing Officer Li’s explanation, the expression on Jiang Xuecheng’s face did not ease at all.
When Su Wan and Ming Ye were escaping, they were so close to each other. If a gunner’s marksmanship was not good, they would probably hurt Su Wan directly!
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was clear and deep, but it carried undisguised anger and intimidation.
“Can you guarantee that your men won’t miss their bullets?”
“Your Highness, my men are all very good at shooting...”
Hearing this, Officer Li subconsciously wanted to say that none of the men he had groomed were not good at shooting, but he swallowed his words in the end.
That’s right, the military order he made the day before yesterday was already bad enough. Now, how could he guarantee that his men were good at shooting?
To put it bluntly, what if that woman, Su Wan, had a stroke of the brain and blocked a bullet for Ming Ye?
At that time, His Highness would not care who Su Wan took the bullet for. He was afraid that after he was angry with Su Wan, he would directly attack them!
Officer Li realized this and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.
“Yes, yes, yes! Your Highness, it was me and my subordinates who did not think clearly. But don’t worry, we absolutely did not shoot Miss Su on the field. Moreover, because we were afraid of accidentally injuring her, the bullets we loaded at that time were not fatal.”
Hearing that Su Wan wasn’t injured, how could Jiang Xuecheng still have the mood to listen to Officer Li’s words.
He coldly glanced at Officer Li, his expression heavy.
“Is this robot still conscious? Can it be repaired?”
Hearing that Nono had helped to let Su Wan escape, Jiang Xuecheng was extremely annoyed with this robot. But even so, he was even clearer about the importance of Nono to Su Wan.
The reason why Su Wan had agreed to Fiennes’ invitation was to exchange the silver tear ore for Nono.
As long as Nono was in his hands, he did not believe that woman would not come back to find him!
“Ah, Your Highness, you want to repair it?”
The deep, cello-like male voice brushed past his ears, almost scaring Officer Li to death. Fortunately, he had listened to Xiao He and did not directly melt down this robot. Otherwise, he would have been even more miserable, right?!
When he saw that Jiang Xuecheng did not seem to be angry, his expression relaxed. He carefully glanced at the robot on the ground.
“We have broken the circuit hub of that robot. Its energy has collapsed. Even if we invest a lot of time and money, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do...”
Jiang Xuecheng suddenly turned his head. His gaze was as dark as water, making people feel as if they had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave.
“If you can’t even repair a robot, what use do you think you have? If you can’t do it, I can always find someone else!”
Sensing that gaze that was sharper than an eagle’s, Officer Li shivered twice in succession. His originally somewhat blood-red face instantly turned pale.
No, no matter what, he could not be demoted from his position, and he could not be demoted from the God’s Palace!
If Su Wan and Ming Ye could not be found in a short period of time, then he would first use this robot to atone for his sins...
Officer Li’s heart shrank, and he hurriedly buried his head deeper.
“Your Highness, I will definitely find the best mechanic to repair this robot!”
