Chapter 137: Safe and Sound
"Brother, the contents of the suitcase have been checked, and thankfully nothing is missing. Xiaolu's holographic e-book is there, as well as an Amos laptop."
"Have the science department crack and analyze that notebook."
What about those two Amos?
“Interrogation is too time-consuming and laborious. Let the science department perform short-term memory retrieval and reconstruction on their brains. First, of course, we need to know where Xiaolu is, and second, I want to know what secrets these two mysterious guys are hiding.”
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Wei Shan immediately notified the Science Department to carry out these urgent tasks.
In less than ten minutes, the report on the laptop's decryption results was submitted to Zhou Yuan.
In less than half an hour, the time and location of Xiaolu's last contact with the man were found in the memories of the short, refined man. Another half hour later, the major secret hidden in the minds of the short man and the fat old man was also unearthed.
Zhou Yuan's biggest concern right now is Xiao Lu. He hasn't looked at the other results yet and will put them aside for now until Xiao Lu is rescued.
In the short man's memory, Xiaolu's last known location was a luxury villa area more than ten kilometers northwest of the city.
At 12:30 a.m., in the capital of the planet Amos, two small warships and two spaceships stealthily arrived above the luxurious villa complex in the northwest suburbs of the city.
This palatial villa complex is quite large and luxurious for the Amos people. It is surrounded by walls, which are four kilometers long and three kilometers wide. Inside the walls are lakes, grasslands, deserts, forests, beaches and other natural landscapes.
After a quick scan of the building complex, the image of the short man was matched against the holographic screen, and soon the screen turned bright red, indicating that the location was successfully matched.
Zhou Yuan and eight interstellar special forces soldiers were teleported by the invisibility light to the outside of the infirmary. The infirmary was still lit up. Looking through the window, one nurse was playing on her phone, and another nurse was asleep on a makeshift bed. There was another door to the right and back of the infirmary.
A stealthy superphoton quark reconnaissance aircraft flew out of a warship above the infirmary, descended to the infirmary, penetrated the wall, entered the infirmary, and then passed through the door at the right rear of the infirmary.
"Big brother, we found her. Xiaolu is in a big room behind the infirmary. She's still awake..."
"Ya Mei, stop talking." After saying that, Zhou Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door of the infirmary. The nurse who was playing on her phone answered, "Who is it?", but no one answered. The urgent knocking sounded again, "Knock knock knock."
The nurse, who had been playing on her phone, put it down, got up, walked to the door, opened it, but no one was there. She went outside again and looked around, but there was no one there either. "That's strange. I think I heard a knock," she muttered, locking the door behind her.
While the nurses were still muttering in confusion, Zhou Yuan had already entered Xiaolu's room.
When Zhou Yuan saw Xiao Lu, she was wearing a hospital gown, lying in bed, still awake, staring blankly at the ceiling, looking somewhat listless. Seeing Xiao Lu like this, Zhou Yuan, who was invisible, felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Big brother, two sisters, I miss you so much." Suddenly, Chu Xiaolu blurted out, and Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"May God bless Aunt Mei, and may she be well."
"Big brother, why aren't you here yet? I miss you so much!" The last sentence, "I miss you so much," was a heartfelt expression, conveying deep affection and seemingly heartbreak, with a tear rolling down her cheek.
Suddenly, Chu Xiaolu discovered that the blanket covering her had magically flipped to one side by itself. Just as Chu Xiaolu was in surprise, she cried out "Ah!" because a "hand" was supporting her body.
"Xiaolu, don't shout." A familiar voice came from beside her. Chu Xiaolu knew that voice all too well. "Big brother? Is that you?"
"it's me."
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a nurse looked at Chu Xiaolu and asked, "Ms. Chu, are you alright?"
"Oh, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"Miss Chu, you should go to sleep early. I'll turn off the light for you."
"OK, thanks."
The nurse came in and turned off the light switches by the door one by one, plunging the room into darkness. Then the nurse closed the door.
"Big brother, were you invisible just now?" Chu Xiaolu reached out with her right hand and touched Zhou Yuan's face.
"Big brother, please show yourself! I really want to see you."
"Silly girl, it's pitch black now. Even if I show myself, you won't be able to see me."
"Big brother, just show yourself, I promise I'll see you."
"Really? Okay, I'll show myself." Zhou Yuan deactivated his invisibility and stood beside Xiaolu's bed.
"Xiaolu, can you see it?"
"I...can...see." Before she could finish speaking, the room lit up with a "click." Their eyes met; Zhou Yuan was taken aback, while Chu Xiaolu was smug and excited, her face flushed. Chu Xiaolu rolled off the bed and, barefoot, pounced into Zhou Yuan's arms.
Zhou Yuan opened his arms and hugged Chu Xiaolu.
"Big brother, I miss you so much."
"Xiaolu, it's alright. Let's go home."
"Okay, big brother." Suddenly, Chu Xiaolu stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Zhou Yuan on the cheek. Then she lowered her head shyly, her cheeks and ears turning red, like a child who had made a mistake and was about to be criticized.
"Shanmei, Xiaolu and I are ready. Let's begin the teleportation."
"Received, brother."
In the large room to the right rear of the infirmary, Zhou Yuan and Chu Xiaolu disappeared at the same time and were directly teleported to the small warship piloted by Wei Shan above the infirmary.
"Xiaolu, you're finally back! We were so worried about you."
"Sister Shan, I'm sorry to have worried you. Where's Sister Ya?"
"Xiaolu, I'm right next to your warship. You should rest now. We're heading back to Earth."
"Shanmei, Yamei, wait a moment. There's one more thing."
"What's wrong?" Wei Shan and Lefia asked, puzzled.
Zhou Yuan did not answer directly, but asked Chu Xiaolu, "Xiaolu, who is Aunt Mei?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about Aunt Mei, damn it. Big brother, Aunt Mei was the closest person to me when I was in the orphanage. I failed to protect her, and now I don't know where she is."
"Understood. Shan-mei, have the Science Department find Tito; Aunt Mei is in his hands."
"Ok."
Ten minutes later, video images of Tito and Theresa May were transmitted, and Tito's location was finally confirmed. Tito was in a villa in this villa district.
Zhou Yuan began issuing orders, and the two spaceships carrying eight special forces soldiers were instantly teleported to Tito's villa. Fifteen minutes later, Aunt Mei was teleported to the warship where Zhou Yuan, Wei Shan, and Chu Xiaolu were located.
Clearly, Aunt Mei was still shaken and terrified. Chu Xiaolu stepped forward and hugged Aunt Mei, "Aunt Mei, are you alright?"
Aunt Mei blinked, making sure she wasn't dreaming, and hugged Chu Xiaolu back. "I'm fine. Girl, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I was so worried about you. I'm so useless, I didn't protect you."
"Girl, don't be like that. Oh, and who are these two?"
Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan smiled at Aunt Mei and said, "Hello, Aunt Mei."
"Aunt Mei, let me introduce you. This is Brother Zhou Yuan, and this is Sister Wei Shan."
Aunt Mei released Chu Xiaolu and walked up to Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan. She first glanced at Wei Shan, and then looked Zhou Yuan up and down carefully. Zhou Yuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but he didn't get impatient.
"Where's the other beautiful lady?"
Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan exchanged glances. "Aunt Mei, you mean the princess? She's on the warship over there. I'll have her come over."
"Oh my god, where's the princess? And the warships?"
Zhou Yuan and Wei Shan smiled, and Chu Xiaolu also smiled.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and a tall, elegant woman appeared to Zhou Yuan's right. Aunt Mei was so startled that she took two steps back.
"Aunt Mei, Sister Shan said you want to see me." Lefia smiled mischievously at Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei didn't say anything, but simply looked the three of them over from left to right and from right to left.
"Aunt Mei, what are you doing?" Chu Xiaolu seemed to notice that something was wrong with Aunt Mei and quickly went up to pull her away.
Aunt Mei smiled, and suddenly turned around and pushed Chu Xiaolu behind her to Zhou Yuan. "Zhou Yuan, you're lucky. There are four of you, enough for a card game."
Chu Xiaolu lowered her head, her ears turning red.
Wei Shan and Lefia exchanged glances, while Zhou Yuan gave a wry smile.
The scene was somewhat frozen, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Aunt Mei, are you going home or going with Xiaolu?"
"Brother, it's late at night in the capital of Amos. It would be safer to go back to Earth."
Okay. Let's go.
Aunt Mei only started paying attention to the warship now, scanning it but not daring to wander around. Chu Xiaolu sat next to Aunt Mei and chatted with her.
Two warships and three spaceships accelerated and soon arrived at the Earth Star Fleet base.
Chu Xiaolu and Aunt Mei underwent a comprehensive examination, and the results came back quickly. Aunt Mei was fine, but Chu Xiaolu suffered a mild concussion and minor internal organ damage due to drug poisoning.
"Drug poisoning?"
"Dean Zhou, it's a hypnotic and hallucinogenic drug."
"We need to treat Xiaolu's concussion and internal organ damage as soon as possible."
"It's not difficult, it will only take about ten minutes. Please wait a moment."
Ten minutes later, Xiaolu looked radiant, as if she were a completely different person.
"Girl, you're very pretty. Can't someone see that?"
It seems that Aunt Mei and Zhou Yuan are at odds.
Wei Shan and Lefia chuckled to themselves.
"Aunt Mei, you must be exhausted after a long day. Xiaolu, why don't you stay and rest with Aunt Mei? We still have things to take care of."
"Okay, big brother."
As they parted ways, Chu Xiaolu looked back one last time before leaving.
"Girl, you're beyond saving."
"Aunt Mei, I know."
A spaceship appeared in front of Chu Xiaolu and Aunt Mei, and the spaceship quickly headed towards the special forces base.
"Girl, your house is so big and beautiful."
"Aunt Mei, you should rest. You've had a long and tiring day."
"Yes, indeed."
After washing up, Chu Xiaolu led Aunt Mei to a room. "Girl, why is this room completely empty?"
"Aunt Mei, don't worry."
Chu Xiaolu fiddled with her bracelet, and a large bed and mattress suddenly appeared as if they had sprung up from underground. Aunt Mei grabbed Chu Xiaolu's hand tightly.
"Aunt Mei, it's alright, don't be afraid, these are all high-tech gadgets."
Aunt Mei was skeptical, but she walked to the bedside and squeezed the edge of the bed hard. Sure enough, it was hard metal.
"Aunt Mei, lie down."
As soon as Aunt Mei lay down, she felt something soft behind her neck, probably a pillow, she thought. Then a blanket appeared on her body.
"Aunt Mei, you should get some rest."
"Okay, girl."
Chu Xiaolu left the room, the door closed automatically, and the lights went out automatically.
Aunt Mei felt a warm current flowing through her body, an indescribable comfort. This amazing bed! Soon Aunt Mei fell asleep.
Chu Xiaolu lay in bed, reflecting on the day's events, adding the diary entries she had written in her mind back into her diary, and then drifted off to sleep.
Little did Chu Xiaolu know that Zhou Yuan, looking at the deciphered information on the laptop and the memory reconstruction report of the two Amos men, was filled with a mix of fear, joy, and sorrow.
