The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 214 - 213 Lin Mo

Chapter 214: Chapter 213 Lin Mo

Then, after half an hour of Wen You’s incessant persuasion, Qu Tong, unable to bear any longer, gave her a Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion and two Energy Liquids.

Wen You finally shut her mouth contentedly and dragged Qu Tong out of the Underground Fighting Arena.

After taking a shower back at the dormitory, Wen You shared with her the bruise healing ointment she had obtained from Jiang Zhou.

They made a simple lunch and then sprawled on the sofa, chatting while looking at their own light-brain devices.

Around three in the afternoon, Wen You closed her light-brain, fastened her wrist guard, and said to Qu Tong, "I have to pick someone up at the police station, coming with me?"

Qu Tong thought she had nothing better to do, so she followed along for a walk.

On the way, Wen You told Qu Tong that she was able to achieve such a big credit this time thanks to the help of one person.

Because he had been captured and spent a long time in an illegal medical research facility, he was detained to be questioned in detail.

Upon arriving at the police station, Qu Tong waited in the hall while Wen You went in to fetch the person.

The police officers at the station all knew Si Yuting and, of course, also knew Qu Tong. Two young police comrades approached Qu Tong and made casual conversation:

"Princess Consort, are you satisfied with the handsome guy we arranged for your friend last time?"

With the help of the Alchemist Association, Miss Ali’s full name had already spread across the interstellar network, so Qu Tong wasn’t surprised by their question.

She glanced at the police comrades, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "Quite satisfied."

"Good to hear, Major Cheng Feng specifically reminded us about it," the square-faced police officer said with a straight laugh.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow; so it was Cheng Feng who had made the arrangements. She had thought it was Si Yuting.

Right, Si Yuting wouldn’t have the time to bother with such things.

They hadn’t chatted long before Wen You came out pushing a wheelchair, introducing to Qu Tong:

"His name is Lin Mo. Thanks to him acting as an insider for me, I managed to prevent their escape through the secret passages. He also took a bullet for me, which is why I was able to return unscathed."

"He’s from the Lin Family, but he said he doesn’t want to return home like this. I’m planning to send him to the military hospital to rest in a Healing Chamber."

However, Qu Tong didn’t take in what Wen You was saying at all. When she saw Lin Mo’s face, she was slightly startled and involuntarily frowned.

Lin Mo noticed and asked in a clear voice, "Miss, is there something improper about me?"

Wen You also looked at Qu Tong with a puzzled expression.

Qu Tong glanced at Wen You, then shook her head and said, "No."

Seeing that Qu Tong had returned to her usual expression, Wen You didn’t ask any further, assuming Qu Tong was just shocked by Lin Mo’s appearance.

She had been somewhat stunned herself when she first saw him. Lin Mo was very thin, so emaciated that he looked distorted. His eyes were sunken, his skin pallid, and if he hadn’t been able to speak, she would have wondered if he was at his last breath.

It was only on the return trip that she had fed him two high-grade Nutrient Solutions, which made his complexion look a little better.

Qu Tong and Wen You accompanied Lin Mo to the military hospital together.

A bullet had hit Lin Mo’s leg, but it had been extracted, and the wound was bandaged.

However, Wen You felt responsible for Lin Mo’s injuries, as he was hurt while protecting her, and couldn’t just ignore it, so she paid the costly fee for him to lie in the Healing Chamber.

Lin Mo wanted to refuse, but Wen You forcefully pushed him back into place.

After arranging for a nurse for Lin Mo and bustling around until dinner time, Wen You finally left with Qu Tong.

On their way back, Qu Tong asked, "Did you know Lin Mo before?"

Wen You, while speeding up the hovering car, found a moment to reply, "I’d heard of him but never met him. Why?"

Qu Tong looked at Wen You’s beautiful yet commanding profile and let out a smile of realization, "No reason, I just think Lin Mo’s situation is quite tragic."

"It is tragic. Who would have thought that the Lin Family’s eldest son would be taken to such a place? He’s completely changed after coming back. I don’t even know if the Lin Family still recognizes him. Speaking of which, he’s even more unfortunate than me, at least Wen Qing and Wen Zong are younger than me," Wen You said, sharing in the sentiment.

Five years ago, the incident involving the Lin Family from the Agricultural College made a huge commotion. The country dispatched half a Legion along with quite a few mercenary groups, searching for the missing Lin Mo for a full five months, but they never found him.

Less than half a year later, the head of the Lin Family brought back a man from the outside and declared to all that he was also a young master of the Lin Family.

In the Interstellar Era, with the existence of a genetic database, it was fundamentally impossible for there to be any mistake in identity.

Therefore, everyone was well aware that twenty years into the Lin Family head’s marriage, his wife became pregnant, and the current young master of the Lin Family was only two years older than Lin Mo.

Wen You stayed at Qu Tong’s place for one night and hurried to the hospital the next day, only to find that Lin Mo had already left on his own, not returning to the Lin Family and with no one knowing his whereabouts.

Wen You returned to the Wen Family, and before leaving, she solemnly grabbed Qu Tong’s hand, "If I don’t come out of the Wen Family in three days, remember to call the police and say Mu Ruyan did it to me."

Qu Tong: "..."

Do you want to take a look at that fierce expression on your face right now and think about who exactly should be calling the police?

"Tong Tong, if you’re worried about me, why don’t you come with me? You are the Princess Consort, with you there, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to me."

Qu Tong’s forehead twitched, and she struggled to withdraw her hand, grinding her teeth, "Just get lost!"

Wen You got on the aircraft with a saddened expression on her face.

As the cabin door closed, Wen You’s hand rested on the control stick, her face no longer showing the joking smile from before, only a chilling, cold sneer remained.

Qu Tong returned to school, where she still had classes to attend.

During break time, Qu Tong was checking on the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop when she overheard her classmates discussing softly.

"My God! How did the Insect Clan get in here? Aren’t there several Legions guarding the border?"

"Shh, keep it down. The officials haven’t released any statement yet. Don’t go spreading it around; causing public panic can land you in jail."

The group lowered their voices even more and continued discussing:

"My uncle works at the Border Defense Information Detection Bureau, and he said it seems like this time the Insect Clan didn’t come from the border side."

"They couldn’t have just grown out of the ground, could they?"

"Who knows? That’s not for us to worry about. The state will take action. We have War God Your Highness, after all."

"This time it’s a first-level star. Who’s to say Capital Star won’t be next?"

"A first-level star? Which one?"

"It seems to be Planet A15."

"Damn it! Mecha Single Soldier Department..."

Qu Tong didn’t listen to the rest, grabbing her textbook from the desk and went to look for Instructor Fu.

When Qu Tong mentioned she needed to take a few days off, Fu Xiangyu showed concern and asked if something had happened at home.

Qu Tong made up an excuse, saying something had come up at the farm and she needed to go back.

Fu Xiangyu, knowing that Qu Tong was managing her own farm at such a young age and considering that Qu Tong had performed well in the monthly exam, didn’t ask much and approved her leave.

Qu Tong left the school and immediately took off in her flying vehicle.

Setting her destination to Planet A15, Qu Tong glanced at her light brain communication box with Xu An. The messages she just sent still hadn’t received any replies.

Qu Tong also sent messages to Song Ke and Cheng Yao from Fei Wenxing, but they fell into the same silence.

Although she knew they usually took time to reply to messages, she couldn’t help but worry.

Planet A15 wasn’t far from Capital Star; at maximum speed, it would take Qu Tong just over two hours to arrive.

Upon arrival, Qu Tong saw that the Planetary Shield of Planet A15 had been activated, confirming that her classmates’ discussion was true.

As Qu Tong’s aircraft hovered above the shield, a communication request immediately came through to her vehicle’s control system.
