The location of the Zerg’s remains was very prominent.
Because only that piece of land was scorched yellow, with not a single blade of weed growing.
They saw Nie Chuan’s home at a glance. His home was an independent small courtyard, very close to the place where the Zerg appeared, and the damage was also very serious.
Because no one was willing to buy a piece of land that is barren, it still retained its original appearance.
“Ding, Master, this is Nie Chuan’s home.”
The blue information flow of the real estate rental was hung next to the house, and the house’s price was also marked.
Gu Huan has already investigated this matter in advance. Nie Chuan has been selling this house and the land next to it, but no one has bought it.
Chu Xinglin’s optical brain has the authority to search any private house, but Gu Huan was still planning to directly buy Nie Chuan’s house.
Since Nie Chuan will definitely live in the Capital Star or Jianan Star in the future, it would be a waste if the house cannot be sold, and Nie Chuan can still make some money by selling it to him.
Gu Huan raised his arm and brushed his optical brain.
Over there, Chu Xinglin had just driven away the enthusiastic mayor, and seeing the trading interface flashing on Gu Huan’s optical brain, he had no intention of interfering with him.
The salaries of the Empire’s Generals were already high, and the emperor gave some rewards to the generals from time to time, so Gu Huan also had a lot of assets under his name.
Moreover, the few books that Gu Huan published are still bestsellers so far, and the income from these things were added together. If he buys a flat at random and Chu Xingling still has to intervene, that is not pampering Gu Huan, but looking down on Gu Huan’s wealth too much.
So Chu Xinglin came over and only asked Gu Huan about the result of the transaction.
“Ok?”
Gu Huan shook his head lightly. “No, the seller did not agree.”
Hiding his optical brain’s identity, the child who learned that someone had tried to buy his house immediately wrote to tell its situation.
It’s not that he’s out of his mind.
It’s not that his hand slipped.
He just had this habit, wanting to live here out of curiosity, and the price was cheap, so he bought it.
Seeing that Nie Chuan finally believed that he didn’t misclick, but really wanted to buy it.
Gu Huan closed the optical brain interface, shook his head, and walked in with Chu Xinglin.
“Look carefully for any clues.”
If someone wants to kill someone, how could they not come to check whether there is any evidence left in this house?
So Gu Huan didn’t have much hope that he could find clues about the research institute here.
But what if?

Chu Xinglin took people to search all the rooms but found nothing useful.
Gu Huan suddenly seemed to be attracted by something, pulled up the corner of the cloak, squatted down, and opened the toy box.
His golden eyes slightly flickered.
Seeing Gu Huan’s crouching back, Chu Xinglin couldn’t help asking. “What did you find?”
Gu Huan raised the toy box in his hand while wearing gloves, and said softly.
“This may be the Zerg Crystal.”
The golden marbles sparkled in the small square box.
If Gu Huan hadn’t said that these were Zerg Crystals, Chu Xinglin would not have thought that these gadgets could be connected with the crystals in the Zerg’s body.
“Did Nie Chuan play with these when he was a child?”
“Children like things with bright colors. He may have seen Zerg Crystals and liked it very much, so the two researchers granted his wish.”
Because Zerg Crystals had never appeared in this shape before, and it was too much like a marble, it was not discovered by others.
“Measure the composition of this crystal.” Chu Xinglin took the items from Gu Huan’s hand, turned around and handed it to Chen Weiwei who noticed that they were in this room and followed after them.
Chen Weiwei took the toy box, tilted his head, and asked a little strangely:
“Even the people who destroyed the evidence didn’t realize that this is the Zerg Crystal…General, how did you notice it?”
Gu Huan lowered his eyelashes and looked at the toys inside.
He just had a feeling that this crystal and that Zerg Crystal were the same thing, but when asked how he knew it, he could only explain it based on his intuition.
A deep intuition that told him there was a connection between the two.
“I guessed it.” Gu Huan said calmly.
Chen Weiwei nodded thoughtfully, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much, so he took the marbles from Gu Huan without asking any more questions. Under Chu Xinglin’s urging, it was taken for testing.
Before Chu Xinglin and Gu Huan stood there for a long time, Chen Weiwei came back again with an excited expression on his face. “This is really a Zerg Crystal.”
There are researcher parents by his side, the toy he plays with is a Zerg Crystal, and there are tattoos on his body. Nie Chuan is definitely an experimental subject.
“Nie Chuan is really related to that experiment.”
“What roles did these two researchers play?”
They should have participated in the mental power experiment to control Zergs.
But why did the Duke silence the person who helped him with the experiment?
Gu Huan didn’t understand.
“…”
While Gu Huan was thinking, Chu Xinglin received a video call from the palace.
It was Chu Shengyun who directly contacted Chu Xinglin.
The exclusive Emperor’s information message made Gu Huan narrow his eyes slightly.
He thought of the mayor who had been reluctant to leave before.
He was mindful of why that person’s expression was so unnatural at that time. The other party might have already received Chu Shengyun’s order to watch their actions here.
This is actually the main reason why he didn’t visit secretly to investigate, but insisted on appearing in public to investigate.
Chu Shengyun is the sponsor of Gu Nan’s experiment. If General Gu Nan is related to the Zerg experiments, the Emperor can’t not pay attention to it.
Gu Huan was very curious about how the Emperor would react.
He had felt a little weird before, so why did the Emperor’s attitude change so quickly?
He didn’t believe that there would be Zergs during the bug tide period, but after he found out that someone might control the Zerg, he believed it very quickly.
There may be a reason for this.
The Emperor must know some facts that only he himself knows, and that fact will make him believe that someone can control the Zergs.
That’s why he believed their words, but they didn’t know what the truth was, only the Emperor knew.
After talking with the Emperor, Chu Xinglin frowned and reappeared in front of Gu Huan.
“That fellow Chu Shengyun wants us to stop investigating this matter.”
Gu Huan had a feeling that this was the truth.
Chu Shengyun was indeed related to this experiment.
“He asked us to return to the capital on the grounds of the anniversary of my parent’s death.”
Gu Huan frowned slightly.
“Chu Shengyun has never been so angry!” Chu Xinglin sneered. “Our discovery seems to have hit the old man’s sore point.”
Even though he said so, the fingers at his side couldn’t help but clench tightly, and Gu Huan also saw it.
He knew that although Chu Xinglin didn’t get along with his father and really hated him, he never regarded his father as an enemy that must be defeated.
This can be felt from Chu Xinglin’s reaction after his father led him to meet Shang Xingxuan last time.
Apart from the fact that Chu Xinglin had another big fight with Chu Shengyun, found evidence of corruption in the Shang family, and destroyed the Shang family that Chu Shengyun personally cultivated, that incident seemed to be over.
Chu Xinglin can only do so much, after all, he has no intention of rebelling.
If Chu Xinglin wants to rebel, it is actually very easy, because Old Marshal Gu is definitely on Chu Xinglin’s side.
In the end, it’s just that Chu Xinglin didn’t choose to do this. He still seemed to have some expectations for his father, and there was still a trace of blood relationship that prevented him from making this decision.
Gu Huan didn’t think it was wrong.
If Chu Xinglin could directly turn against the wimpy old Emperor regardless of blood and family ties, then he might not fit the sentimental personality described in the original text.
Forcing the Emperor to abdicate was his last choice when he had none left.
Gu Huan turned his body sideways, putting his fingers on Chu Xinglin’s shoulder.
Opening his lips lightly, there seemed to be strength in his voice.
“Whether you investigate or not. I will stand by your side.”
This is an agreed upon matter.
He will always follow Chu Xinglin.
“…”
Chu Xinglin looked at the thin white fingers on his shoulders, then looked up and into Gu Huan’s eyes.
The General’s black hair was draped over his shoulders in an uncluttered manner, and his golden eyes were like jewels reflecting sunlight.
Although it looks exquisite and fragile, it seems firm enough to hold up all hopes.
The disgust and the disappointment towards his father in his heart seemed to be allayed.
The blond-haired alpha pressed the fingers on his shoulder, and promised:
“Of course I will investigate.”
Even if it could be traced back to his father, he would definitely investigate, even if he had to commit an act of righteousness above family ties.
Chen Weiwei touched his head, feeling that he was clearly invisible.
Why is he always eating dog food alone?!
The little friend who he just met next to him was still lamenting foolishly.
“Ah, the relationship between General Gu Huan and His Royal Highness is really very good.”
M1zushi: everyone in JJWXC thinking about how GH has golden eyes and if that’s related to the zerg; besides that, there’s some thinking of how the Emperor is scarier than the Imperial Uncle and what if he silenced the Empress in his black room? What do you think?
Oh here’s an interesting thought:
Netizen 36: Could it be that the Zerg Crystal was created by the Empress to heal the general’s excessive mental power?
Anywho, the emperor definitely needs to die. His ideals are dangerous and he’ll have too much power even as an ex-emperor to make it safe to spare him.
Total agree
+1
The emperor really is too dangerous,too unpredictable to be left alone. I hope he dies a terrible,cruel death,,
Thank you for the chapter!
Idk, the emperor’s brother is like that. Maybe he’s a wicked pervert too.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!!
I mean locking up his spouse is pretty strong evidence
Thanks for the chapter
The Emperor is being so blatant he must not care if his son realizes he’s involved with what are essentially crimes against their civilization.
completely irrelevant but is anyone else starting to think that Chen Weiwei and his little friend got a future together…?
thanks for the chapter!
